There's a lot we can do to help ourselves.  Sure, it's important to seek knowledge from the great books, from the Masters, from our friends and loved ones.  But ultimately our own fate rests in our own hands.

I am ultimately responsible for myself.  My body is at my mercy.  My mind is at my mercy.  My emotional stability is at my mercy.

Would that I will be merciful.

It's a magnificent body, brain, and heart I've been blessed with.  It's a shame not to prize them and make them their most beautiful.

197 pages long, this book contains twenty-six different stories of people struggling with the nature of "significance."  Each prose-poetry short-story is illustrated with cartoons of rodents behaving like people.   In a precise, frank, and serious manner, sexual drive/love, friendship/betrayal, productive work/free-living, the creative-urge/destruction, wealth/poverty, health/sickness, art/war, imbalance/balance, ugliness/beauty, evil/good, suicide/sacrifice, extreme-music/nature, selflessness/indulgence, priortization/chaos, aging/youth, tradition/progression, and life/death are all tested, contrasted, and compared.  Ultimately, one thing stands above them all in regards to its impact on the human condition.  [suggested viewing restriction: "PG13," young people under 13 requiring parental approval to read this book.]

In Search of Quality I: Principles and Mechanisms   $49.95

(click title to go to full description, visuals, outline, and samples)

388 pages long, this extremely well-organized and conversationally-written text breaks down the Quality Management movement to ten central PRINCIPLES and eighteen main MECHANISMS.   Both theory and practical application are extensively addressed and illustrated through many specific, real-life examples.  This book also benefits from many graphic illustrations and figures where key concepts are extracted and crystallized.  Quality Management is taken from the Senior Executive business level, and extended down to the "regular" person working at his/her desk, dealing with a family, working in a volunteer group such as a church congregation, in school situations, and in one's personal life.    The AIM of this book is to describe how your personal understanding and implementing Quality Principles and Mechanisms can make your own life, family, church group, school-situation, volunteer organization, or job-situation easier, more productive, and more enjoyable.
