The literary crossroad of business, coming of age, leadership and Christie's coined term "self resource", "Common Sense Comes Before Book Sense" shares the full circle journey of the author, who realizes that much of what she has been seeking in classes, courses, mentorships and expanded career opportunities was already in her cadre of resources as provided through the "other education" of her mother's West Indian proverbial wisdom. Humorous while simultaneously reflective and directive, Christie uses West Indian proverbs to share her experiences from her professional and personal roles to offer her take on life, work and trusting one's "self-wealth". Chock full of humor, anecdotal wisdom and the author's healthy admission that maybe, just maybe, her Mommy was right and smarter than originally thought, Christie imparts her gradual realization that much of what she needed when she entered the big, bad world, her mother, her faith and her community had already provided. As you traverse this tome with Christie, you may discover that right now you too have exactly all that you need for your next level.

The author ofLife's Greatest Lessonspresents ten principles of practical wisdom to live by, drawn from readings of both the Old and New Testaments for people of all beliefs. Readers love Hal Urban's books for their common sense, their wisdom, and their inspirational affirmation of timeless values. WithThe 10 Commandments of Common Sense,he continues to build on his central theme -- that there's a direct relationship between good character and the quality of life. He also shows how the teachings of Scripture and the genuine practice of faith can be integral parts of a fulfilling existence. Urban draws on his own lifelong spiritual search -- which has included Protestant churches, the Catholic church, some Eastern philosophies, and human potential psychology -- to produce an ecumenical and nondogmatic examination of the Scriptures, finding in them clear and simple guidance for increasing both purpose and joy in our lives. Five of his principles are do's, as in "Keep a positive outlook on life" and "Bring out the best in other people." The other five are don't's, as in "Don't be seduced by popular culture" and "Don't judge other people." These ten commandments of timeless wisdom will inspire people of all faiths who are searching for more meaning and direction in their lives, no matter where it comes from.
