Would it surprise you to learn our emotional distress is primarily self-inflicted? What would you give to be free of frustration and hurt? Awakening Into Perfect Peace explains how to bring an end to psychological suffering. Drawing on his expertise as a communications coach and his studies in nondual traditions, author Ralph Huber reveals that suffering occurs when we're imagining we're separate from life, or else telling ourselves a story that says life should be different than it is. Only when our hearts accept all of life can we experience the perfect peace that is our True Nature. In simple and compassionate language, Huber invites us to relax and release the hurtful beliefs that cause our suffering by showing us how to lovingly reconnect with life.

If a disgruntled bodyguard and an incompetent hitman go into business with a smart hooker, who gets screwed? Elvis Zapata is an unappreciated matón who dreams of becoming a bartender. Dwight "The Kid" Manetti is a wannabe killer with a surprisingly sensitive side. And Angie B. hopes to drop a con on mob underboss Duke Capriccio. When the trio "accidentally" inherits a drug lord's dark kingdom, dirty narcs, vengeful street dealers and a tarot-reading Mafia capo stand in line for a particularly nasty revenge in a wild and wickedly funny romp through the mean streets-and meaner luxury estates-of L.A.

"April is the book's delightful narrator, both witty and unintentionally funny, one of those kids people sometimes say were 'born old, ' but young and earnest and energetic too. She is fiercely loyal to family and takes this to its logical conclusion in a twisty magical plot full of both humor and terror." - PAMELA DEAN, Author of Tam Lin and The Secret Country Maybe magic. Maybe trouble. Homeschooled siblings April and June Bliss are inadvertently sucked into their older cousin Arlene's troubled life when that street-savvy 17-year-old disappears and then sends for their help via an inscrutable grimoire and a mesmerizing silver ring. Although new to the realm of magic, the sisters concoct an assortment of spells (not altogether successfully) as they attempt to find and rescue wannabe sorceress Arlene. Throughout their journey, smart April and brash June explore family values, encroaching maturity (April's been spying on dishy Justin Fink with a treehouse telescope) and their own stubborn differences. But when life in an adult world takes a turn toward the supernaturally spooky, the two must quickly pull together in order to survive. What is an appropriate sacrifice for family, and what is too much to give for a worthy cause? The girls soon find out what truly matters in life.

"Stephen Hawking Smoked My Socks is a prism-free lens with which forgotten basic skills in objectivity are seen again, and the innate art of existence is set free from the dictates of fear and power." - Ian Campbell-Gillies Why did Stephen Hawking become so famous? What exactly brought world renown to Albert Einstein? Why are those particular individuals household names across the globe whilst other achievers are not; why have they become icons to rival film stars; and why they are adored and protected by a fiercely loyal fan base? In Stephen Hawking Smoked My Socks, Hilton Ratcliffe seeks out the answers to those questions, and discovers that they have nothing at all to do with science.

Jim Brumm's Long-Term Thinking for a Short-Sighted World focuses on the problems we face today that share a common, rarely discussed theme: a lack of long-term thinking. The book explores examples-past and present-of humanity pursuing short-term gains at the expense of our long-term well being. Topics include energy, debt, consumerism, agriculture and our skewed perceptions of time. "In today's world we are grappling at every turn with an increasing energy shortage, food production systems that struggle to feed increasing millions, environmental problems that threaten our survival, a debt crisis that is crippling individuals and governments, and so much more. All of these problems come with their own unique challenges and examined on their own they may seem completely different from each other, but they share one common, rarely discussed hidden thread that runs through the center of each and binds them together: a lack of long-term thinking. We're very bad long-term thinkers." Jim delivers a message of hope, helping to answer the question, "How can I live my life in a way that brings satisfaction, balance, happiness, and a sense of value? In other words, how can I be part of the solution?" He suggests positive ways to improve our ability to embrace a larger vision of our place in the world. Conversational, provocative, witty and often laugh-aloud funny, Long-Term Thinking for a Short-Sighted World will inspire readers who are seeking ways to realign priorities and re-examine what brings true, long-term happiness and sustainability.

"What diminishes one of us diminishes us all, while what enhances one of us enhances us all." This philosophy for engaging with each other to create a new and higher vision for humanity's future lays the cornerstone for Sacred Economics, which explores the history, evolution and dysfunctional state of our global economy from a new perspective. By encouraging us to stop viewing our world through a monetary framework, Sacred Economics invites us to honor reality rather than exploit it as a means for short-term financial profiteering. Sacred Economics doesn't blame capitalism for the problems we're facing; it explains why we've outgrown the aggressive growth engine that drives our global economy. As a maturing species, we're in need of new social systems that better reflect our modern life situation. By deconstructing our shared (and often unexamined) beliefs about how our economy works, Sacred Economics creates an opening through which to reimagine and redefine human society. Sacred Economics is written from a non-denominational, spiritually driven perspective and attempts to explain why humans feel drawn to creative exchange, and how - in the interest of becoming the best we can collectively be - we might consciously direct our attention toward the purposeful design of a more compassionate, cooperative and abundantly flowing economic system. It encourages us to move beyond our present systems gridlock by emulating the successes of nature, thereby opening a channel for tapping the myriad possibilities within the infinitely creative, eternal flow that is life.
