Playing It by Heart:
Taking Care of Yourself
No Matter What
Melody Beattie
In her newest offering, Melody Beattie (author of Codependent No More) helps
readers understand that fear is the common denominator driving codependents to be
victimized by controlling behaviours. Marked by the compassionate voice and penetrating
insight for which Beattie is renowned, Playing It by Heart is a masterful
exploration of the healthy middle ground that lies between fear of relationships
and relationship subservience. With clear, well-constructed checklists, self-tests,
written exercises, and personal stories this enlightening book helps readers examine
their own codependency. This book should not be missed by those recovering from chemical
dependencies, healing from relationship and family problems, or anyone interested
in personal growth. $22.95.
 Speak
the Language of Healing:
A New Approach to Breast Cancer
Carol Matzkin Orsborn,
Susan Kuner, Linda Quigley
and Karen Leigh Stroup
One out of eight women is at risk for breast cancer. In this remarkable book, four
women with four spiritual perspectives -- Christian, Jewish, Sufi and 12-Step (Recovery)
-- take readers through the process of living with the process of living with breast
cancer. The conventional, militaristic breast cancer vocabulary is rewritten into
a language of relationship, integration and spirit. Personal stories set in a framework
and guide readers through the five stages in the journey of life-threatening illness.
This quiet revolution walks women through breast cancer, not as a test of survivorship
but as an initiation into the deeper mysteries of life. $22.95.
Good Medicine:
Heart Practices for Difficult Times
Pema Chodron
In Good Medicine, Pema Chodron continues the teachings of When Things
Fall Apart, showing how at the core of the most painful experiences lie the seeds
of spiritual awakening. Here she presents key teachings on recognizing and cultivating
the "soft spot" that is the gateway to compassion and open-heartedness.
She discusses the four great catalysts of awakening, and how to integrate them into
our lives; the basic goodness that is inherently ours; how the three noble principles
can enrich everything that we do; the matri meditation that multiples love; why an
attitude of "don't know" can be wiser than the world's greatest spiritual
teachings; and how to keep the heart open with equal fearlessness to both heartache
and delight. $29.95.

Changing the Nature of Nature
What You Need To Know To Protect Yourself,
Your Family and Our Planet
