Being Buddha at Work
Summary
There are lots of books that address how we should take care of ourselves, find calm, and enjoy happiness in a hectic work world. But few of those books apply the lessons of Buddhist thinking as resolution and guidance tools. These questions, though found in the modern day, are actually the core of all Buddha’s teachings: impermanence, suffering, and the quest for happiness (freedom from suffering). This makes Buddha the kind of consultant or coach we need today in the workplace. Following in the tradition of the authors' first best seller, this work goes on to explore and answer 101 dilemmas that we encounter at work, with topics that include time management, goal-setting, conflict, job dissatisfaction, unemployment, and even workplace trysts. The authors emphasize practical learning and coping, not esoteric insights or metaphysics, applying concrete solutions from Buddhist teachings to real problems in easily digestible chunks.

The Power of Positive Doing
Summary
You've heard of the Power of Positive Thinking. There's no doubt about it - the human mind is an amazingly powerful computer, capable of transforming our lives. But achieving what you want in life isn't accomplished by sitting in your comfy chair and visualizing all day long. Far too many people neglect to ACT on their own behalf in order to bring their dreams to life. As cosmetics company founder and CEO Estee Lauder put it so well, "I didn't get here by dreaming about it or thinking about it - I got here by doing it." In The Power of Positive Doing, BJ Gallagher has captured the "secret" no one is talking about - you can actually change your thoughts and attitudes by taking positive ACTION, no matter what you're thinking or feeling! She calls it the The Power of Positive DOING - the title of her latest audiobook. B.J. is no stranger to Simple Truths' readers. The author of more than 20 books, including Friends, Oil for Your Lamp, and The Best Way Out is Through, her engaging stories and original poetry have put her on our best seller list.

It's Never Too Late to Be What You Might Have Been
Summary
Dreams deferred are dreams that die - a process that can take the dreamer along with them. Gallagher believes it's never too late to revisit, and relive, one's deepest desires. Writing in her trademark warm and witty style, Gallagher argues that rather than spend endless time trying to find oneself, one should start creating oneself by returning to basic life wishes. It's Never Too Late to Be What You Might Have Been, based on the famous George Eliot quote, combines sage advice, step-by-step guidelines, and inspirational push. Individual chapters include "Attitude is Everything," "Mind Over Matter, Matters," "Remembering Your Forgotten Dreams and Realizing Them," and "It's Never Too Late to Have a New Career." Written for those who struggle with discovering their purpose in life - whether a nervous college graduate facing the future, a 40-something mom seeking renewal, or those who have been recently laid off - this book explains how to listen to and honor one's inner voice.

Oil for Your Lamp
Summary
"To keep a lamp burning, we have to put oil in it." - Mother Teresa. This simple quote says it all. Do you put oil in your own lamp? Take care of yourself, you have heard it before, but are you doing it? This audiobook will inspire you to take care of yourself to live a better life. Oil for Your Lamp is the perfect audiobook for women who want to glow, sparkle and shine! Mother Teresa said, "To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it." Most women are so busy filling the lamps of the people they love that they let their own lamps run low. They spend so much time and energy taking care of their children, husbands, aging parents, friends, neighbors, bosses, coworkers, and others, that they often neglect themselves. This new audiobook, Oil for Your Lamp, is about women learning to take care of themselves first - not last. Written by Femail Creations catalog founder Lisa Hammond and inspirational author, poet, and storyteller BJ Gallagher, this wonderful new audiobook speaks to women of all ages, from all walks of life. Here at Simple Truths, we celebrate women who light up the world - and we want to lovingly remind them to keep their own lamps filled. Oil for Your Lamp is the perfect audiobook for women who want to glow, sparkle, shine, and dazzle!
