THE SOCIAL CAUSE DIET: Finding a Service That Feeds Your Soul

Students, socially-aware corporations, churches, and service organizations are more eager than ever to hear how we can find the time and energy to fit social service into our lives, while meeting our own needs in the process. Johnston's unique "diet" angle makes the topic of giving back especially timely. The Social Cause Diet proposes that we turn our attention away from our obsessions, including our preoccupation with diets, to things that are bigger than ourselves. Johnston's inspiring stories testify to the fact that helping others is one of the best things we can do for our own health, happiness, and well being.

THE ART OF LETTING GO

Inspired from her extensive research for A Rumor of Angels: Quotations for Living, Dying & Letting Go, Gail Perry Johnston explains how learning the art of letting go can lead to freedom like one has never known it before.

Johnston clarifies that letting go is not about denial of one's circumstance or emotions, nor about becoming more complacent. Neither is it about forgetting a harm done to us, nor about leaving behind the memory of a loved one. What letting go requires is a mature awareness of our situation, followed by an understanding of the strength of our will, a power that is higher, forgiveness, and the complexities of anger. Johnston unpacks it all, using analogies, personal experience, and the wisdom of great minds who have come before us. Moreover, she talks simply and practically about how to sort it all out in our day to day lives.
