What the Books Offer

Wisdom Out: Six Steps to Transform Adversity into Growth

No book can "make" you wise – wisdom comes through living your life. But wisdom has always been conveyed through stories – myths, fables and the inspiring and cautionary tales passed down through families ("Don't go down the path of Crazy Uncle Joe!"). People do learn from each other. We are moved and inspired by each other's stories. This book reveals the wisdom strategies you can use and the six steps to take to respond with wisdom to any adversity that comes into your life.

Wisdom Out Relationships:  Eleven Lessons From Couples Who Are Getting it Right

98% of people in the world will become involved in a relationship – and have their heart broken a few times along the way.  This book reveals the eleven "wisdom lessons" shared with the author by couples known for the way they create and sustain relationships that transform life's challenges into a greater good.  These are not just any lessons, they are answers to questions about relationships that wisdom-seeking people want to know.  Wisdom Out Relationships is a down to earth guide to wisdom for anyone who is part of a couple or wants to be, and wants a relationship that works. It teaches people to use wisdom in all stages of a relationship, from making oneself "relationship ready" to finding the Right One, to making a commitment and becoming a couple, to staying together through thick and thin.
