It Takes 2 to Tango, Maybe...

CA$14.95

This book speaks to the power of commitment and availability as a treatment tool to effect the most change. In traditional therapy the therapist sits on one side of the process and the client sits on the other. In Dr. Manswell's approach, the therapist, while still respecting the boundaries of therapist and client, becomes part of the solution. Trust, availability, respect, commitment and patience shared equally amongst these three key players makes the difference. Gambling addiction is such a puzzle to those not afflicted with this disability. Dr. Manswell and his clients help us gain insight into the thinking process and emotions that are at war within the gambler as they struggle to overcome the devastating hold gambling has over their lives. It is a story of pain, but more importantly it is a story of hope and of perseverance — and, finally, of success.

Journey to Joy: The...

CA$24.95

You will laugh. You will cry. You will be uplifted. Journalist Christalee Froese vividly brings to life her recovery from depression in her first book, Journey to Joy. This bold, brave memoir follows Froese on a two-year journey to restore her happiness, and her faith in life. After spending 21 days each month focusing on life-restoring topics like peace, creativity, food, fitness, faith, love, writing, travel, gratitude, and joy itself, Froese emerges with the hope she’d lost. Both heartbreaking and humorous, Journey to Joy offers insight into the stumbles and falls of recovery, and the persistence required to get back up time and again. Froese’s journey takes her to a Chinese orphanage where she finds courage, strength and true purpose. The raw storytelling will change how you view depression and anxiety … and permanently alter your own approach to joy. Most profoundly, Journey to Joy will restore your faith in miracles, and the underlying goodness of mankind. "Grab a pack of sticky notes and choose your own topics of joy. I invite you to embrace your suppressed desires as we wind our way through this book, and life, together. May the act of writing down things you love and have always wanted to do set you free, as it did for me." --Christalee Froese

Launch Lead Live: The...

CA$24.95

Every day, organizations experience the fallout of failed organizational change initiatives—cynical employees, frustrated leaders—because they are not able to successfully implement or sustain the changes needed to compete. Leaders believe employees are resistant to change. Employees believe leaders are unreasonable and that change is undertaken only for its own sake.

But resistance to change is not inevitable. It can be prevented. You don’thave to feel like you are going into battle every time your organization wants to do something different. There is a better way.

Life & Times of Lighthouse...

CA$19.95

Boxer. Pilot. Roughrider. Mountie. One man lived it all. As a young man, Constable McNeil spent his summers on the Mackenzie River and his winters crisscrossing Canada’s North on dogsled patrols for as many as 700 miles, earning $2 a day, plus “food, uniform, underwear and toothbrushes.” He was one of the first pilots in the RCMP “Air”Division.

In the Second World War, he flew with the RCAF, and rose to the rank of Wing Commander. In peacetime, he led the RCMP Musical Ride across North America to Hollywood and made friends of movie stars. A devoted family man and dedicated community leader, he made a difference in every posting—and left a lasting legacy.

Little Red Wagon: A...

CA$19.95

Learning is less about curricular delivery and more about building relationships. The thought of school can invoke fear and loathing, or it can elicit warmth and wonder—the difference being a kind word, a nod of encouragement, or a listening ear from a teacher who cares. Over time, the educational landscape has changed, the structures refurbished, the equipment updated, the methodologies redefined, the strategies remodeled. And yet, in this cycle of perpetual change lurks the notion that some things must remain the same. Changes in education are an ongoing reality; what remains the same is the need for strong, vibrant relationships that will withstand the idiosyncrasies of educational fads, fantasies, and fashions. If you’re tired of the proliferation of “edu-speak,” the rationalizations for declining performance, and the continued erosion of standards and expectations of education today, then this is the book for you.
