An Ian Book of the Year award finalist."We Are Really Just the Same" is a timely life lesson inspired by a four-year-old boy, that all children and adults should hear. One sunny day in New York City, the author, Rod Cornish, was walking with his son, Roen, when Roen made an observation and inspiring conclusion that gave rise to this book. Roen, who is biracial, having a Lithuanian mom and African American dad, looked up at his dad and said, "Daddy. Your skin is darker, and mine is lighter." Before Rod could give him "The Talk" regarding race and differences that probably would have confused him, his next beautiful comment left his father speechless and proud in its childlike simplicity and profoundness. Roen said, "It's OK. We are really just the same", and this book was born. By celebrating and acknowledging how we are each unique, wonderful, beautiful, and different in our own special way, Rod leads us to realize that: "We are really just all the same." Written in beautiful prose and with vibrant, children-relatable illustrations, discover another important lesson for us all: "So you just be you, and I'll just be me. Let's help one another along life's journey."

How grey area drinking kept me trapped..."Gray area drinking" refers to a level of alcohol consumption that falls between moderate and risky drinking. Gray area drinking can describe people who misuse alcohol or struggle to control their alcohol consumption but do not fulfill criteria for an alcohol use disorder, or alcohol addiction."Peggi, you are done, and you will be okay."These are the words I heard in my heart as I fell to my knees in my bedroom on July 12, 2019, committed to declaring for the last time "This is the first day of my alcohol-free life."One day prior, a drinking incident following a family reunion was the final straw for my husband and daughter. My husband walked away from the mess that was our marriage due to my drinking. This was followed in rapid sequence by my daughter warning me that I wouldn't be able to have the kind of relationship I wanted with her family - and especially with my grandchildren - if I didn't do something about my drinking.This Side of Alcohol is borne out of the cathartic journaling I did during the first two years following my break-up with alcohol. It tells the story of what I did to get and stay sober, allowing me to transform my shame, guilt, and anger into self-compassion, self-discovery, and forgiveness - of myself and others. From self-loathing isolation to a joyous community of support and rediscovered intimacy with my family. From living my life engulfed in cognitive dissonance (teaching about the connection between trauma and addiction while I was drinking every evening) to the pride I feel today in being present and authentic in every aspect of my work and life.This Side of Alcohol is my story of living my sobriety out loud, telling the truth, and being at peace.

In 2011 Robert Goffee and Gareth Jones wrote in the Harvard Business Review's 10 Must Reads on Leadership, "Executives have a good reason to be scared. You can't do anything in business without followers. So, executives had better know what it takes to lead effectively - they must find ways to engage people and rouse their commitment to company goals. But most don't know how, and who can blame them? There's simply too much advice out there. Last year alone, more than 2000 books on leadership were published." Two thousand books on leadership in one year! With so much information out there, how can we say we are not missing something fundamental in our approach to organizational culture? It is only with a considerable amount of awareness that we come to see that this instruction has a fundamental flaw within it. What is this flaw and how can a children's book called Sleeping Beauty along with the ethics of Aristotle help in finding it? I am not a writer of fairy tales, although this is a book about Sleeping Beauty, and I am certainly not a philosopher, although I quote Aristotle extensively; what I am is a man who has worked all his life in different organizations and in that work I have observed many of the challenges that come with working with others. In those challenges I have looked for guides and guideposts that would help me in my journey and have found them in some very strange places. Some of what it takes to find this flaw is embodied in this book but most of what it takes is embodied in you. Join me on this journey.
