From the Author: I wrote this book because I have been motivated to be the leader I am by some great leaders who showed me what it is to be a great human being, and what it means to care for your people.

I’ve also benefited from some great team members and colleagues, and some amazing authors whose words inspired me to lead in a better way, to help make people better, and not just focus on profits.

Profits are hugely important, but they can’t be our only driving motivator.

We shouldn’t prioritize profits over people; we should prioritize people and profits, with purpose. It’s the only way forward.

I wish you luck on your leadership journey. My main advice is to keep learning, listening, caring, and empowering.

- Johnny Russo

“This book is an uplifting celebration for all of us! For too long, women have gotten the message their bodies and sexuality are shameful, degrading, and even evil. Dr. Rosenblat turns that message on its head and promotes female power in the most positive terms. Women need to read this to take ownership of their divine selves and men need to read it to fully appreciate the gift of having confident and radiant women in the world!” - Dr. Carol Clark, Director of the International Institute of Clinical Sexology and author of My Pocket Therapist

“In the Victorian Era, Freud dismissed female psychology as a yearning to be male. In the 21st Century, Dr. Rosenblat reveals the abundance of femininity in its own right.

“Dr. Rebecca Rosenblat is an insightful, highly trained engaging communicator of all things sensual. Welcome her wisdom into your world...you won't regret it!” - Dr. Janis Roszler, Clincal Sexologist, co-author, Sweet Romance - A Woman’s Guide to Love and Intimacy…

Ian Prattis, retired anthropology professor in Canada's capital Ottawa, Guru in India, Zen teacher, Founder of Friends of Peace, and award winning author attempts just that.

She comes from the outside where humans evolved without chips and continued to thrive among nature since the time of the Great Unrest (what would be considered present-day late-stage capitalism). Faced with the fear of her ability being discovered, Tara will stop at nothing to escape from the Federation and reunite with her mother...

Praise for A Forest Without Trees:

“A Forest Without Trees takes you deep inside a disturbing reality pitting a small group of rebels against powerful sinister forces that take over the minds of others, intercepting thoughts and planting false memories as they exert terrifying, destructive control. It’s an epic power struggle with the survival of humanity, the environment and the world itself at risk. This is science fiction-fantasy writing at its finest – a compelling must-read!” - Michael B. Davie, author, The Late Man

“The world JP Solanki-Davie has imagined... is disarming and emboldening to anyone who wonders about the divisions that we humans create and suffer for. Her depth of understanding of what makes people fight for hope or impose and weave sinister order out of fear, necessarily arrests you as a reader, and makes you think... Her work conjures ideas of dystopia and utopia but goes way beyond that… beneath any contemporary narrative... about the state of the planet as we know it, is a sense of optimism in the power and potential of the human spirit to be better... a must-read for anyone who cares for the complexity of ecosystems, who wonders show we might be, who desires an intelligent departure into another way of seeing. It’s fiction that carries weight beyond its finely crafted words.” - Aliya Mughal, author of an upcoming collection of essays, is a nonfiction writer whose work has been published in The Learned Pig, NERC’s Planet Earth magazine, The Idler, the Partially Examined Life and the London Literary Review.

 "Jordan Grupe is a master horror teller firing on all cylinders."

- Marcus Starr, Author, Nora's Curse

"From Jordan Grupe, author of the dark masterpiece Beneath the Asylum, comes his equally disturbing sequel Escape from the Asylum in which the destroyed mental institution “springs up like a poisonous mushroom,” restoring its sinister presence just as all memories – even news stories – of its prior existence are erased. It’s an insane, twisted trip down memory lane no one in their right mind would ever willingly take. This time, the dangers are more intense, the implications more macabre and the return visit more gut-wrenching – is there any way of stopping this horrifying history from repeating itself with even more tragic results?”

- Michael B, Davie, author, The Late Man

"Jordan Grupe weaves magic with his horror, building a world of nightmares that steals your attention and refuses to let go. Escape from the Asylum is more than just a good read - it's an unforgettable one."

- Jason Martin, author, Crooked Antlers

Praise for Dragonfly Slayer:

“A chance meeting of scientist Weylin McLaughlin, and homeopathic shaman Keith Wilson becomes a catalyst for self-discovery while exploring the revelatory effects of a psychedelic drug. A former lover, Leandra, and a cancer patient, Annette, team up with them and travel across Ireland on a path… to past life regression, the permanence of love, and an ancient curse kept secret from the visible world. Begovic’s literary prose is poetic, accessible… the perfect genre-bending marriage of myth and medicine. Will the painful truths these characters discover restore health and rekindle a romance as immortal as Celtic lullabies sung on the green hills of an emerald paradise?” - Mark Antony Rossi, writer-host, Strength to Be Human podcast

“Weylin and others discover they share past incarnations after taking the psychedelic drug Jacacia. This drug provides pastlife regression therapy and a source of self-knowledge. The fire and enchantment of erotic sex between Weylin and Leandra contrast her attempts to remain faithful to her husband. The interlaced past lives also reveal a long-standing curse, which requires the help of a shaman to lift the spell. The rugged encounters are well written by the author. Jana Begovic skillfully creates a dark love story that burns through time. Excellent writing for a difficult prospect.” - Dr. Ian Prattis, author, Four Phases; New Planet, New World; Shattered Earth; Failsafe and many more

In Wounded Healer, Lee shares his raw personal story and truths he’s learned about healing from traumatic experiences… how his insights into creativity and the power of the imagination enabled him to take difficult experiences and lean into them, a process, which set him on a path of continually seeking and reaching new edges in life. Lee believes tremendous healing occurs when we share our stories honestly with others who have experienced similar difficulties, and that expressing our true identity is the greatest medicine we can ever find.

Working as a therapist for people with traumatic brain injury, Lee’s insights and training into psychology and behaviour—amplified by his artistic endeavours—have given him the ability to explore trauma healing from varied perspectives: experientially and academically…Combining insights from western mainstream psychology and Traditional First Nations wisdom and practice through the concept of “Two-Eyed seeing” allow Lee to bring clients to a place of wholeness and wellness.

Lee has a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Behavioural Sciences from McMaster University and he is a registered member of the Ontario College of Social Work and Social Service Workers. He is currently a mental health worker who has previously served families on the reserve in Attawapiskat First Nation, Ontario Canada.

“…captivating adventures… humorous”

- The Toronto Sun

“…powerful writing… deeply touching.”

- Brian Henry, Ryerson University

The Unforgiving Tides tells Dr. Ross Pennie’s true adventures as a medical volunteer on a remote South Pacific island. At age 25, fresh out of medical school, Pennie arrives in Papua New Guinea to find tribal magic, jungles, muddy terrain and the ire of Sister Pirmina. Soon the good Dokta is facing crisis after crisis.

Pennie writes in an engaging style reminiscent of James Herriot – except Pennie examines the most intriguing creatures of all: fellow humans on a remote, exotic island. Pennie is a professor at McMaster University, Hamilton, and a practising physician at Brant Community Health System. He’s also a nationally renowned expert specialist in the treatment of infectious diseases.

Audience: General audience and of added interest to New Age sector due to author’s encounters with tribal magic. It’s a terrific tale of triumph over adversity, including an appendectomy during an earthquake, the amputation of a woman’s leg with a hacksaw, transforming the hospital into a tavern to treat alcohol poisoning victims, and much more.

“Rosa Harris has assembled a series of very thought-provoking apercus of her times and generation. They are all from different angles and none is ponderous or over-long. The result is a very pleasing, very easy, and often poignant, read.”

“I’ve known Rosa Harris for 25 years, starting when she worked at a city magazine in Montreal. It was in the final few months before Generation X was published and there was no awareness in the culture that something, anything, might want to cleave away from the baby boomer’s stranglehold on all things generational… She’s one of the few boomers who is fully aware of just how annoying and self-absorbed her generation really is… fully aware of the historical forces that had to align to create the most… narcissistic birth cohort in the history of our planet, yet she can really tap into this awareness to create something sensitive and smile-inducing. I think you’ll enjoy this book.” (from the Foreword by Douglas Coupland, author, Generation X, and several other top international bestsellers)

“Rosa Harris, renowned national award-winning journalist, editor, talk show host and journalism professor, has crafted a collection of insightful, humorous and touching essays on the baby boomer generation that will leave you smiling, laughing and reminiscing on the times of your life. Baby boomers will see themselves in many of Rosa’s musings on the most amazing generation ever!”
