This is the story of a garden in India that evolved into farm and my inner journey during the process of its creation. It is the story of the transformation of an outer landscape from what was virtually a desert to a productive garden. It is the story of a process of inner transformation and deeper surrender that the work made possible. I invite you, with this book, to join me on this journey of outer and inner discovery. For wherever we are and whatever our work, we all share a similar process when we seek to become conscious and to understand the mystery of our being.

Ten years of research uncover the secret source of growth and profit … Those who center their business on improving people’s lives have a growth rate triple that of competitors and outperform the market by a huge margin. They dominate their categories, create new categories and maximize profit in the long term. Pulling from a unique ten year growth study involving 50,000 brands, Jim Stengel shows how the world's 50 best businesses—as diverse as Method, Red Bull, Lindt, Petrobras, Samsung, Discovery Communications, Visa, Zappos, and Innocent—have a cause and effect relationship between financial performance and their ability to connect with fundamental human emotions, hopes, values and greater purposes. In fact, over the 2000s an investment in these companies—“The Stengel 50”—would have been 400 percent more profitable than an investment in the S&P 500. Grow is based on unprecedented empirical research, inspired (when Stengel was Global Marketing Officer of Procter & Gamble) by a study of companies growing faster than P&G. After leaving P&G in 2008, Stengel designed a new study, in collaboration with global research firm Millward Brown Optimor. This study tracked the connection over a ten year period between financial performance and customer engagement, loyalty and advocacy. Then, in a further investigation of what goes on in the “black box” of the consumer’s mind, Stengel and his team tapped into neuroscience research to look at customer engagement and measure subconscious attitudes to determine whether the top businesses in the Stengel Study were more associated with higher ideals than were others. Grow thus deftly blends timeless truths about human behavior and values into an action framework – how you discover, build, communicate, deliver and evaluate your ideal. Through colorful stories drawn from his fascinating personal experiences and “deep dives” that bring out the true reasons for such successes as the Pampers, HP, Discovery Channel, Jack Daniels and Zappos, Grow unlocks the code for twenty-first century business success.

Northern Rhodesia just off the Congo border in the nineteen fifties was thick with untamed bush, man height grass, and tall vined trees. The sweltering heat, animal paths, deadly reptiles, stinging insects, and its rivers and streams, was the world of the author and his young friends. The deluging rains, the floods and the forked lightning heralding thunderstorms, were all part and parcel of growing up in the best playground in world. Author Michael Colyer encapsulates the wonderful enthusiasms of developing young boys. He exalts the driving force behind their escapades and antics in and just outside of a small copper mining town. In his words, our games were inadvertently dangerous learning curves, and we literally tried everything young boys dared to imagine. The dangers shout out to you, the adventures, the boys, the animals, the reptiles and insects are very real, and the happenings are a recitation of true and unforgettable memories. The astounding historical, geographical, animal and reptilian facts are seamlessly woven to the tales, but, read it alone, or risk laughing out loud in company at the wicked humour the author has managed to incorporate throughout.

By the time he was nineteen, Frank Schaeffer's parents, Francis and Edith Schaeffer, had achieved global fame as bestselling evangelical authors and speakers, and Frank had joined his father on the evangelical circuit. He would go on to speak before thousands in arenas around America, publish his own evangelical bestseller, and work with such figures as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Dr. James Dobson. But all the while Schaeffer felt increasingly alienated, precipitating a crisis of faith that would ultimately lead to his departure—even if it meant losing everything. With honesty, empathy, and humor, Schaeffer delivers “a brave and important book” (Andre Dubus III, author of House of Sand and Fog)—both a fascinating insider's look at the American evangelical movement and a deeply affecting personal odyssey of faith.

Grenadian Experience Shines Like a Caribbean Jewel in this Book of Personal History John Jakasal poetically presents the soul of Grenada and how it can survive and prosper as world renowned "Isle of Spice" with his life as an example. USA, The Caribbean & Globally Grenadian writer and author John Jakasal weaves "the cobweb that hides two paths in life" in the eminently readable memoir Grow Your Wings, Fly Away And Build Your Nest. Sharing his family background and life story, he spins illuminating connections to Grenadian history through the colonial phase and compares it to the modern, complex fruit of that history to rekindle the island's spicy reputation and agricultural foundation that has seemingly lost its colors diminished by the annual hurricanes. He discusses what it means to be a Grenadian American as chief Technologist, Professor in the school of Radiology Technology and Clinical Instructor. His kind finds itself readily accepted in New York City, a place known for its homogenous international culture. His story may be unusual to many, but it is given serious consideration in this eye-opening memoir of a young man from humble beginnings who worked hard, left his parents' home, never forgetting from where he came, became independent, owes not a single man, and now comfortably retired. Author John Jakasal's textual path dances on the light of his spider's web, and the dance of the spider as he weaves a vision of home, of a place to live and make a living in an agricultural safety net. Yet the delicate nature of Grenada's present is also present in the proceedings. The spider's web is a delicate, gossamer beauty and it is Jakasal's brilliant poetic view of his mother island; little Grenada swamped by waves modernism and highwood. In Jakasal, as well as in the strong moral heart of his book, lie all things Grenadian: The island beauty and its blessed clime, the physical points of national identity that are still remarkably untouched despite the onslaught of modernity. This is further refined into an appreciation of how America is a place of opportunity for anyone willing. A place where a Grenadian's native qualities can shine. Jakasal gives readers the taste of native Grenadian stew in this work, and it is an experience both filling and a taste everyone of his readers will remember with an appreciation of the nation and the people that made it.
