Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, by Marshall B. Rosenberg Ph.D., 1999. Softback, $18.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a safe way to honestly and fully communicate any feeling or idea, no matter how charged or difficult. This model for speaking and listening is taught and used worldwide. Helping people to go beyond repression, false niceness, blame, shame, or other forms of verbal contortion, NVC effectively lays the groundwork for true understanding and connection to take place. We consider this language an essential element of sustainable and holistic culture.
"The techniques in this book transform potential conflicts into peaceful dialogues."
– John Gray, author, Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus

Parenting From Your Heart: Sharing the Gifts of Compassion, Connection, and Choice, by Inbal Kashtan, PuddleDancer Press, 2003, Booklet, $8.
A brief yet illuminating guidebook for parenting using Nonviolent Communication. Most parents think they only have 2 choices: to be the authoritarian who tries to control the child or to be permissive and let the child control the parent. This book shows us a completely different way, based on fully embracing and meeting both the child's needs (for things such as choice, play, exploration, growth and learning, nurturing. love, respect, support, etc.) and the parents' needs (for things such as protection of the child, contributing to the child's well-being, respect, caring and sensitivity, rest, alone-time, balance, etc.). Chocked full of real-life situations and sample conversations of how to parent from a power-with rather than a power-over model.
"I wish every parent on Earth would read this book, and I wish I had from the very beginning of being a parent. This form of parenting gives me hope for a new generation of fully-empowered and truly free beings." - Mercedes Kirkel

The Continuum Concept: In Search of Happiness Lost, by Jean Liedloff, Perseus Books, 1975. Softback, $14.
A moving anthropological account of a woman’s numerous experiences with an indigenous Amazonian tribe. Through intuition and intellect, Jean coalesces her observations to form a re-creatable way of raising babies, based on establishing "continuum" – the field of living connection and trust that humans are all expecting to be born into. The continuum concept is a powerful guide for re-creating wholeness, for ourselves as well as our children.
"Deserves to be read by Western parents, child psychologists, and other social engineers concerned with restoring self-reliance and well-being. There are remarkable insights here."
– The New York Times Book Review

Dark Side Of The Light Chasers: Reclaiming Your Power, Creativity, Briliance and Dreams, by Debbie Ford Riverhead Books. 1998 Paperback, $13.
In this enlightening guide, Debbie Ford explains how—consciously or unconsciously—we hide and deny our dark sides, rejecting these aspects of our true natures rather than giving ourselves the freedom to live authentically. Here she shows that it is possible to acknowledge and accept our so-called weaknesses—and that in fact, these qualities may prove to be important, hidden strengths. Perhaps a touch of "laziness" is just what the workaholic needs; perhaps some judicious "selfishness" can save us from exhaustion and resentment. Through the illuminating stories and practical exercises in this book, she shows us how to reconcile our darker impulses, find the gifts they offer—and reclaim our wholeness once again.
"Debbie Ford guides us past the self-punishing patterns that often bind us. Her ideas are exceptionally compelling"
-Marianne Williamson, author of The Healing of America

Taming Your Gremlin: A Guide to Enjoying Yourself, by Richard D. Carson, Harper Perennial, 1983, Softback, $12.
A creative, yet practical approach to identifying and banishing the tenacious, self-defeating aspects of your personality.
The Gremlin is the narrator in your head who tells you who you are, defining and interpreting every experience. (S)he wants you to feel BAD and pursues this loathsome task by means of sophisticated maneuvers. And the stickiest part is that the more you grapple with your gremlin, the more you become enmeshed. What (s)he hates is simply being noticed. That's the first step to Taming Your Gremlin.
"I loved Taming Your Gremlin. I felt I was in a very human picture show where I and all other humans were being shown how we had all been under a spell, and did not know it. The imagary of this book led me to a profound awareness.
— Virginia M. Satir, family therapist and author of Peoplemaking and Conjoint Family Therapy

The Fifth Sacred Thing, by Starhawk, Bantam Books, 1993, Softback, $16.
Imagine a world without poverty, hunger, or hatred, where a culture honors its diverse mix of races, religions, and heritages, and the four sacred things that sustain life - earth, air, fire, and water - are valued unconditionally. Now imagine the opposite: a nightmare world in which an authoritarian regime polices an apartheid state, access to food and water is restricted to those who obey the corrupt official religion, women are the property of their husbands or the state, and children are bred for prostitution and war. The best and worst of our possible futures are poised to clash, and the outcome rests on the wisdom and courage of one clan caught in the conflict.
"Totally captivating... a vision of the paradigm shift that is essential for our very survival as a species on this planet."
— Elinor Gadon, author of The Once and Future Goddess
"An anthem of hope. Generations to come will bless the name of Starhawk" — Daniel Quinn, author of Beyond Civilization and Ishmael
