Have you read any good books; lately?

Yes, I just got done reading a book titled "Life is short; But Wide: by J. California Cooper....I highly recommend this book; it is so awesome; yes, it is by a black author....My opinion the people should make a movie out of this book...I am sure that you have heard about the movie titled "Precious" that movie is based on a book; check out the website about this movie....and yes, Life is short; but wide has sexual abuse in it....It is one of those books that you don't want to put down; until you get done reading it.....

Mother Teresa : Her Essential Wisdom - by Carol Kelly-Gangi (Editor)
It is not about speaking Faith, but about Acting with the Love for all men. If you are down, depress or just expanding your views - this is one of the books to read - for me the 4time

I hate to admit it, but its been months, maybe years, since I read a real book, for pleasure. I have a stack of books waiting to be read.

I'm currently reading "The Leader's Way," by the Dalai Lama.

It's a practical guidebook to ethical and mental development as a leader using the 8 principles of Buddhism (the Nobel Eightfold Path):

1) Right View ... to see and understand things as they really are not as we wish them to be
2) Right Conduct ...do not harm living beings nor take a life
3) Right Purpose ...committment and intent to develop kindness, goodwill, resistance to anger, not to think or act cruelly
4) Right Speech ...to speak truth and speak helpfully, not disruptive, harsh or deceptive and to talk only when necessary
5) Right Livelihood ... earning one's living in a virtuous way
6) Right Effort ...striving with dedication and purpose
7) Right Mindfulness ... being aware of feelings, conduct, thoughts and events in the present
8) Right Concentration ... focusing all mental concentraion of one thing

Fascinating book.

Wow! I tried to read a new book every ten days. Reading is so much more enjoyable versus watching television. That may change I was without one for months, now not only do I have a new tv but I have cable too. By the way. J. California Cooper I met this summer and she is absolutely amazing. Her writing never goes through editing, etc. She told the group she spoke to "get it right the first time so you don't have to be doing it over and over". That's called skillfully talented.

May we buy books as gifts for the holidays to spread the knowledge and enlightening of words!

"Wilson's Way". This is the story of a minority medical leader's relentless rise to the top of Academia. He was the Dean of the University of Maryland Medical School for 15 years. This is a great book.
