Book Description
Everyone is born into a sinful world that caters to the flesh. The inability to control our emotions causes us to sin and reduces our quality of life. Thus, our lives are overwhelmed by everyday problems; love is downgraded to mere emotions; the ability to enjoy life becomes dependent on money and material things. By opening our hearts to a better way of life, we're able to fulfill our spiritual purpose and accomplish our dreams. Look beyond earthly gain and prepare yourself for a life-changing experience. If you're unhappy with certain aspects of your life, the answers are here, and the time to change is now. Join author J. Walker on a spiritual journey that will enlighten your soul and allow God to bless you with Life, Love, and Laughter.

Book Description
After being together for 60 years, coming to terms with life without Leon has been a difficult process for June, but she has many treasured memories of their marriage that will never leave her. In this touching memoir, she looks back at their life together. From when, aged 18, she first laid eyes on Leon at teacher training college in 1955; their fight to marry when their parents disapproved; happy memories of 1960s Liverpool; to building a loving home and family together, before finding fame as pensioners. Firm favorites of the Gogglebox show, they were loved for their gentle teasing, Leon's cheeky gags and humorous rants, and June's unerring patience and caring touch. Along the way they've experienced their fair share of highs and lows but as Leon always said: "As long as June's here, I'm all right." They did it all together. Now June shares with us the secret to a truly happy marriage in this wonderful celebration of two lives well lived.

Leading with Love and Laughter

Author: Zina Sutch
Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers
ISBN: 1523093226
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 160

Book Description
Leadership has for too long been treated as a function and not as a relationship. Zina Sutch and Patrick Malone argue that successful leadership must be based on love (altruism and empathy) and laughter (positive emotions and joy). Science tells us that humans are deeply wired for empathy and compassion and that our emotional selves help us make better decisions and motivate others. However, the tactics we use to train leaders bear little reflection of these advancements; we're still creating competent but emotionally distant leaders who “manage human assets” and lead by setting goals, deadlines, and deliverables. Zina Sutch and Patrick Malone hope to flip a light switch and illuminate, above all else, that leadership begins with heart and soul. Too many training programs reduce leadership to an equation, matrix, or acronym. But leadership is a relationship. It's one human helping another. The most successful leaders show they genuinely care about their employees and are, well, fun. It's just like any relationship. In seven succinct chapters, the authors show that people lead best when they tap into their genetically driven human nature to love and nurture, connect and trust. Leading with love and laughter offers powerful dividends: tighter teams, stronger performance, improved morale, greater trust, more creativity, and even better health. While Sutch and Malone cite the science and offer examples, tips, and practices, their larger purpose is to reintroduce the warmth of human interaction and emotion as the foundation of what leadership is all about.

Rumi's Little Book of Love and Laughter

Author: Coleman Barks
Publisher: Hampton Roads Publishing
ISBN: 161283373X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242

Book Description
Rowdy, ecstatic, and sometimes stern, these teaching stories and fables reveal new and very human properties in Rumi's vision. Included here are the notorious "Latin parts" that Reynold Nicholson felt were too unseemly to appear in English in his 1920s translation. For Rumi, anything that human beings do--however compulsive--affords a glimpse into the inner life. Here are more than 40 fables or teaching stories that deal with love, laughter, death, betrayal, and the soul. The stories are exuberant, earthy, and bursting with vitality--much like a painting by Hieronymus Bosch or Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The characters are guilty, lecherous, tricky, ribald, and finally possessors of opened souls. Barks writes: "These teaching stories are a kind of scrimshaw--intricately carved, busy figures, confused and threatening, and weirdly funny. This is an entertaining collection from one of the greatest spiritual poets of all time, rendered by his most popular translator. "The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along."--Rumi
