Product Description
Should you take a much-needed vacation or save money for your children’s education? Should you protect the endangered owl or maintain jobs forloggers? How do you handle questions such as these? We frequently face ethical dilemmas in our daily lives, and few have trouble with the “right vs. wrong” choices. However, the “right vs. right” dilemmas, in which neither choice is clearly or widely accepted as wrong, many times present obstacles that call for value-based decisions, and that’s where we often need help.Kidder — the founder of the Institute for Global Ethics — teaches us how to think for ourselves in order to resolve any ethical dilemma, from the personal to the philosophical. Unique in its approach and full of illustrative anecdotes, How Good People Make Tough Choices is an indispensable resource for arriving at sound conclusions when facing tough choices…. More >>

• not making amends
• using the program to try to become perfect
• not getting help for relationship troubles
• believing that life should be easy In simple, down-to-earth language, Allen Berger explores the twelve most commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery.

The Color of Water: A Black Man’s Tribute to His White Mother

41KZKBERZZL. SL160  The Color of Water: A Black Mans Tribute to His White Mother

Product Description
A powerful portrait of growing up, a meditation on race and identity and a poignant, beautifully crafted hymn from a son to his mother.Amazon.com Review
Order this book … and please don’t be put off by its pallid subtitle, A Black Man’s Tribute to His White Mother, which doesn’t begin to do justice to the utterly unique and moving story contained within. The Color of Water tells the remarkable story of Ruth McBride Jordan, the two good men she married, and the 12 good children she raised. Jordan, born Rachel Shilsky, a Polish Jew, immigrated to America soon after birth; as an adult she moved to New York City, leaving her family and faith behind in Virginia. Jordan met and married a black man, making her isolation even more profound. The book is a success story, a testament to one woman’s true heart, solid values, and indomitable will. Ruth Jordan battled not only racism but also poverty to raise her children and, despite being sorely… More >>

From both an economic and monetary perspective, the United States is a house of cards-impressive on the outside, but a disaster waiting to happen beneath the surface. In a relatively short period of time, the country has gone from the world’s largest creditor to its greatest debtor; the value of the dollar has declined; and manufacturing has given way to non-exportable services. While these and other issues could spell disaster for your financial well-being, the situation could also present unique opportunities-if one is prepared. For more than a decade, seasoned Wall Street prognosticator Peter Schiff has not only observed the U.S. economy, but has helped his clients restructure their portfolios to reflect his outlook. What he sees today is a nation facing an economic storm brought on by growing federal, personal, and corporate debt; too little savings; a declining dollar; and lack of domestic manufacturing. Here, Schiff provides listeners with an insig… More >>

Donald Zinkoff is one of the greatest kids you could ever hope to meet. He laughs easily, he likes people, he loves school, he tries to rescue lost girls in blizzards, he talks to old ladies. The only problem is, he’s a loser. Until fourth grade, Zinkoff’s uncontrollable giggling in class, sloppy handwriting, horrible flute playing, bad grades, clumsiness, and ineptitude at sports go largely unnoticed. When he blows a race for his team, however, his transition to loserdom is complete: “[Loser] is the word. It is Zinkoff’s new name. It is not in the roll book.” Fortunately, he doesn’t really notice.

Now the acclaimed author of Lessons from the Art of Juggling and Thinking for a Change reveals how any one of us can fulfill our own untapped potential by following the example of the greatest genius of all time, Leonardo da Vinci. Drawing on Leonardo’s notebooks, inventions, and legendary works of art, Gelb introduces the Seven Da Vincian Principles-seven essential elements of genius, named in Da Vinci’s native Italian, that any of us can develop on our own. From the notebooks’ celebration of an insatiably curious approach to life (curiosita) to the willingness to embrace uncertainty and paradox (sfumato) embodied in Mona Lisa’s smile, these principles will seem at once intuitively familiar and surprisingly … More >>
