Make Waves: Be the One to Start Change at Work and in Life
by Patti JohnsonMake Waves encourages readers to step up and be the one to initiate change in their work and lives. Author Patti Johnson walks readers through the tools and techniques that they can use to create change in their own situations. Johnson elaborates on these tools even further to give readers a sense of how to encourage and instill these "wave-making" behaviors in others within their organization. Using several diverse case studies as illustrative examples, Make Waves highlights the important steps that individuals at any level can take toward positive change. By reinforcing readers' desires to contribute and make a difference, Johnson connects on an individual level and bridges the gap between that desire and the actions necessary to realize bigger changes.

Interviews with famous Wave Makers, as well as everyday people, illustrate why it is important to be the one to start change.

Mami,¡no quiero ser obeso!
by Alexandra OrozcoEn nuestros países hispanos poco utilizamos la palabra obesidad; tal vez porque no nos sentimos obesos o no vivimos de cerca el problema. Pero el tema se ha convertido en una preocupante realidad cuando las estadísticas demuestran los altos índices de niños hispanos con sobrepeso en Estados Unidos y empieza a sentirse en los países de habla hispana. Me preocupa pensarlo y me atemoriza cuando miro a mi alrededor y encuentro que esas estadísticas sí coinciden con la realidad. Hace poco por mi trabajo tuve que estar en varias reuniones sociales a las que fui invitada; con gran sorpresa encontré que había mujeres muy delgadas y muy bien arregladas comentando todo el tiempo sobre belleza, sobre lo último en cirugía plástica, dietas, etc. , mientras tanto sus hijos daban vueltas alrededor de las mesas donde servían la comida, sirviéndose postres y pasabocas sin parar, otros jugando videojuegos y algunos, muy pocos, jugando algún tipo de deporte. Y fijándome al detalle encontré que sus hijos en su mayoría eran gordos y algunos estaban obesos. ¡Déjenme decirles que esto me aterró! A partir de esos días empecé a observar de una manera más aguda este fenómeno y cada vez que iba a restaurantes, centros comerciales, o parques, veía lo mismo. Me pregunto, ¿por qué ellas sí pueden mantener un peso normal y sus hijos no? Sería interesante saber la respuesta. ¿O por qué aquellas que están pasadas de peso tienen hijos que siguen su modelo? La respuesta es muy sencilla: estamos enfrentados a una generación de "Padres Permisivos”. Así como la generación de "Padres Autoritarios” nos dejó el temor, pareciera ser que esta época estuviera creando niños débiles y confundidos. Una manera de demostrarles el amor a nuestros hijos y que ellos sientan que nos preocupamos por ellos es a través de su alimentación. ¿Por qué? Porque su cuerpo forma parte integral de la armonía que debe tener cualquier ser humano. Esta armonía está distribuida en Cuerpo, Mente y Alma. El cuerpo es como la estructura de un edificio o la forma de una escultura que tiene que sustentar su autonomía. El papel que desempeña la nutrición o la forma de alimentarnos diariamente en nuestra vida es muy importante. Un adecuado estilo de vida es la mejor prevención de las enfermedades en la edad adulta y proporciona una correcta salud en las etapas del crecimiento. Debemos comprender y enseñarles a nuestros hijos que "Somos lo que Comemos”. .

Mark Twain on Common Sense: Timeless Advice and Words of Wisdom from America?s Most-Revered Humorist
by Mark Twain Stephen BrennanRevered as one of America's greatest humorists and author of the "Great American Novel" (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn), the words of Samuel Langhorne Clemens-more commonly known as Mark Twain-resonate as strongly today as they did when he wrote them more than a century ago. A close friend of Nikola Tesla and heralded by William Faulkner as "the father of American literature," Twain's wit, wisdom, and influence continues through the present day.Printer, typesetter, steamboat pilot, miner, reporter, journalist, author, inventor, humorist, investor, publisher, lecturer-Mark Twain was known as many things during his lifetime and has had at least as many titles thrust upon him since this death, but perhaps what he is best known for is being a source of good old-fashioned common sense. Whatever the topic-whether science and technology, life and love, history and culture, travel and exploration, civil rights and human rights, labor and politics, or ethics and religion-Twain had much to say and many ways to say it. Here, culled from his greatest novels, speeches, letters, conversations, and lectures is the best wisdom and advice-humorous, sardonic, and insightful as always.
Marriage Meetings for Lasting Love: 30 Minutes a Week to the Relationship You've Always Wanted
by Marcia Naomi BergerMost couples — because they watch so many of their peers divorce and are themselves the products of failed marriages — don't have many successful long-term-relationship role models. Parenting and communication issues are perennial, while some challenges, like increasingly 24-7 work lives and economic hardships, mark the current decade. Despite all this, psychotherapist and clinical social worker Marcia Naomi Berger asserts that most couples can make love last — they just need to learn how. Berger answers this need with a deceptively simple prescription: have an interruption-free thirty-minute (or even shorter) meeting each week and follow an agenda that includes the kind of appreciation and planning for fun that foster intimacy and pave the way for collaborative conflict resolution. Berger has refined these techniques while working with hundreds of couples — with results that are both practical and profound.

by Peg Streep Alan BernsteinFind out why the happiest, most successful people have the ability both to persist and to quit. In a culture that perceives quitting as a last resort and urges us to hang in, Mastering the Art of Quitting tackles our tendencies to overanalyze, ruminate, and put a positive spin on goals that have outlived their usefulness.

How realistic are you when it comes to setting goals? What matters more: staying the course or exploring new possibilities in life? How much of your sense of self relies on other people's judgments? Do you tend to hang in longer than you should, even when you're unhappy? When you try something new, do you focus on the effort you have to put in or the possibility of failure? Are you a procrastinator or a delayer when it comes to getting things done? How much do you worry about making a mistake? Do you second-guess yourself? How hard is it for you to get over a setback?
