Descripción editorial
Individuals and companies have been learning what history has demonstrated all along -- that people or groups with carefully defined missions have always led and surpassed those who have none. Yet the process of outlining that mission statement has been, up to now, an arduous one that all too few have committed the time, energy, and resources to undertake.
In The Path, best-selling author Laurie Beth Jones provides inspiring and practical advice to lead readers through every step of both defining and fulfilling a mission. With more than ten years' experience in assisting groups and individuals, Jones offers clear, step-by-step guidance that can make writing a mission statement take a matter of hours rather than months or years.
Rich with humor, exercises, mediations, and case histories, The Path is essential reading for anyone seeking a lighter, clearer way in the world.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Elizabeth Davis's first book, Heart & Hands, is often considered the bible for practicing midwives. Now Davis has teamed up with fellow midwife Carol Leonard to attend to all stages in a woman's life, by imagining and exploring 13 positive archetypes. Among the archetypes presented in The Women's Wheel of Life are familiar ones like the Crone and the Maiden, but also new ones, such as the Matriarch and the Priestess, that apply to women in midlife. (Viking, 256p ) Appearing on the heels of two popular films about Scottish history, Braveheart and Rob Roy, Stuart Reid's 1745 offers a military history of the attempt by Bonnie Prince Charlie and his House of Stuart to regain the throne of England and Scotland. The text covers the prince's 10-month campaign, which climaxed--250 years ago--in the Battle of Culloden, which was the focus of Reid's Like Hungry Wolves. Illustrations. (Sarpedon, 264p )
