"e;As an accomplished musician and composer, Michael Jones brings a unique sensibility to the subject of leadership. While other writers address style, process ands leadership issues, Michael illuminates the deep parallels between leadership and the creative process."e;Peter M Senge author of The 5th DisciplineFounding Chair, SoL (The Society for Organizational Learning) Senior Lecturer, and MIT Sloan School of Management.In the future we need to envision a new leadership story - one that involves a transformation in awareness from performance to presence, from uniformity to uniqueness, from abstraction to beauty, from efficiency to improvisation and from instrumentality to the expressive power of story and voice. Together they awaken a commons of the imagination - a collective field of possibility that transforms our mechanistic view of the world to a more sustainable and transcendent vision that is creative, organic and whole. The primary purpose of Artful Leadership is to explore these fundamental shifts in awareness in the context of cultivating a mind that is more subtle, refined, undefinable, and free flowing - a mind that can perceive underlying patterns of meaning and therefore offer a portal for creating new understandings in an interconnected world. Michael Jones explores this journey of awakening in the form of a series of conversations with John, a successful senior leader who is searching for greater meaning and purpose in his work. As the conversation unfolds it becomes clear that this journey cannot be achieved alone. Instead leaders will need to come together to reclaim the commons - a space of wholeness and possibility in the personal and public imagination - in order to explore the less tangible dimensions of leadership as preparation for engaging a more complex and changeable world. In this original and thought - provoking book, Michael Jones foresees a renaissance in leadership practice, one based upon mindful attention, authentic inquiry, an aliveness to the artistic creation and an abundant curiosity for exploring whatever is fresh and new.

Self-worth depends on one's ability to forgive oneself after guilt. But for many of us, self-acceptance eludes us because of unfavorable feelings brought on by guilt, which can linger for a very long period. The goal of "How To Handle Self-guilt" is to release you from the power of guilt. It will assist you in differentiating between good and unhealthy guilt. You are directed to examine and evaluate your values, motivations, obligations, deeds, and beliefs. Three types of guilt and a ten-step program approach are described in detail for overcoming guilt. Self-acceptance and self-forgiveness will be produced by using these step-by-step procedures and certain self-healing exercises. In addition to keeping us mired in the past, guilt can also prohibit us from being present, loving ourselves, and loving others. We could harbor guilt in our unconsciousness or repeatedly judge ourselves. In either case, toxic guilt is sneaky, damaging, and capable of undermining our objectives and interpersonal connections. It undermines our confidence and makes us vulnerable to manipulation and blame. Unresolved guilt can lead to hatred and wrath toward others as well as toward oneself. On the other hand, overcoming guilt motivates us to better our relationships with others, as well as our own selves and self-esteem. Even though what we did was wrong, we still have the ability to forgive ourselves.
People suffered thousands of years ago. Wise people thought about ways for people to not stress so much. Here we have the ancient wisdom of Buddhism. Fast forward to modern times, and people still suffer. Wise people are still thinking about ways for people to not stress so much. Now we have modern psychology and cognitive-behavioral therapy. This book explores the overlap of these two traditions in a practical guide for anyone suffering from anxiety, depression, or stress. The author is a clinical psychologist with 35 years of experience with hundreds of patients.
I felt a bit light-headed and dizzy. Rhona strummed her guitar, and then started picking. She said, "This song is one of my favourites, and I'd love to record it, but Nina Simone has beaten me to it. It's called 'I Wish I knew How it Feels to be Free.' "As she played and sang, all sorts of thoughts and feelings were whirling round in my head. I couldn't put them into words, and as the train rolled along I went into a kind of waking dream. I shouted out, "But I have to stay there for eight more years before I can be free!"Then my thoughts became clear, and I said, "Sometimes I have trouble knowing what is real and what is a dream."It is September 1967, and Pippa Dunbar is ten years old, and in a hostile place, far away from anyone who loves her. She has already learned some harsh lessons, but will her natural resilience, and experience of life so far, be enough to keep her little boat afloat in the cold and dangerous sea that surrounds her?Your Beautiful Place is the fourth in the My True Nature series of novels, exploring attachment, love and loss in Britain in the 1960s and 70s.

Deadly Desires is a thrill ride that captivates the mind, teases the senses, and seduces the body. This is a nightmarish tale of blood, sex, evil, and pure cruelty.

A Christian knows he is a Christian and has no doubt that he is. He may not, however, know all the details about his salvation. He may not know why God made him sinful. He may not know how Christ's death and resurrection affect him. There may be many things he does not know about his salvation. Entering The Kingdom: Knowing Every Detail About a Christian's Salvation was written to explain these details. It explains in simple and straightforward language all the details regarding a Christian's salvation and how he became part of the kingdom of God. When a Christian learns these details, he will understand who he is as a member of God's kingdom and how he should live within it. A Christian can then glorify God and fulfill God's purpose for their lives.
'I understand myself much better now. I understand my true nature. I know who I am and I know what I am. And I'm glad of who I am and what I am. I don't feel shame. I don't feel guilty. I feel proud.' He said, 'My daughter is a mute. She is obsessed with nakedness. You and your friend have told her things that no child of her age should know. She...' He lowered his voice, but we could just about hear him. 'She is exposed to your true nature every day.' It's 1961. Pippa is four, and already showing her extraordinary artistic talent. She is living in virtual isolation with her troubled mother, in a village in Northumberland. Pippa starts school, but discovers that life outside her house can be as complex and dangerous as life at home. Through Pippa's eyes, we explore the adult world, and how the boundaries between imagination, sensation and reality can become blurred. Around Pippa, we feel the destructive influence of religious bigotry and sexual intolerance. And, over everything, hangs the smell of the lingering smoke of events in The War. In The Angel and the Iceberg, we follow Pippa up to the age of nine. It is the first in the My True Nature series of novels, exploring Pippa's world as a child and teenager, growing up in Britain in the 1960s and '70s.
"e;Michael's stories have the same combination of clarity and intuitive richness as his music. A fine,contemplative guide to the artist's dedicated life."e;David Whyte poet,lecturerauthor of The Heart Aroused and Crossing the Unknown SeaMichael Jones' inspiring and award winning book about his life at the piano offers many rich insights to help the reader find this story for themselves. "e;Who will play your music if you don't?"e; He asks. "e;What is emerging at the periphery of your awareness now? When do you feel that you are fully living your own 'signature in creation' - a place to which you often long to return?"e;Too often we focus on building our careers, based upon an identity crafted from our trained skills and abilities - an identity that does not accurately reflect our primary strengths, wants or needs. Michael suggests an alternative - through personal narratives that burst with wonder and magic - he offers vivid portrayals of how, through seemingly ordinary people and events, we can discover clues for living a fulfilling and imaginative life. Each story builds upon another as Michael reveals his journey toward creating a life that feels whole and complete. Throughout he offers others an invitation to reconnect with the essence of who they truly are. To begin he suggests that we learn to trust that there is a dimension of life behind life, one that lives through us and brings with it a renewed sense of dignity and grace each time we do what we love, feel what we feel and simply be ourselves. Virtually every page of this truly beautiful book provides wise and wonderful clues for allowing the creative impulse within us to emerge. Throw out your books of creativity exercises and read this book instead!

These are the quintessential questions that we all ask, but ultimately turn away from, as we bury ourselves in the distractions of everyday survival.As a connected poetic journey, the collection plunges the reader deep into the mysterious facets of being, examining why we exist, what we all face as conscious beings, and what we can do to realize our own collective human power. Within the rhythm and rhyme of its language is embedded an exploration of all that should matter most. These are poems aimed at the greatest enemy humanity has ever known.The Enemy of Everything is who we all fight…from our first earthly gasp to our last dying breath.
