Represented graphically, the Five Dysfunctions Model looks like a five-level pyramid.

In a nutshell, the story tells about the efforts of Kathryn Petersen to create a healthy environment in fictional DecisionTech. Lencioni, founder and president of a management consulting firm specializing in team development and organizational health, decided to be creative and share his ideas in a fictional story. “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team” by Patrick Lencioni is not a typical book about management. But before you start judging the poor guy, just know that the person he chose had great team-building skills… and you know, sometimes that’s enough to keep the company afloat. What would you call a person who tries to save a Silicon Valley company from collapse, giving the boss’s position to an old-school, blue-collarish executive with no real high-tech experience who, on top of it, is fifty-seven years old (oh my God) and, what’s even worse, a woman? Maybe the word you’re looking for is extravagant or desperate, or just out of his mind. The Cahokians were the last of the mound builders, and the greatest, but in this novel one of the two main protagonists is coming from the more ancient and less prominent culture down the Ohio river, people worshiped ancestral mounds but did not know how to erect ones. For one, this novel covers what the author’s afterword claims to be several different mound building periods, from completely different areas and times. About the Mound Builders of Mississippi and Ohio rivers I knew practically nothing, and I admit I will need to read more books to grasp this lost civilization better.

If this had been my first introduction to Marsh I am not sure I would have kept going, but being as it is the 6th book in the series (which I read in order), I kept reading. The characters in this story are also harder to like, even the ones who reappear and I like much better later in the series. I much prefer James Saxon and I have a harder time staying engaged with her reading. The biggest issue for me though is that I am not a huge fan of Nadia May's narration of this series. The plot of this one runs from slow to medium but is well constructed if a bit overdramatic for my tastes. I have read and/or listened to many of the books multiple times. I first started reading this series based on a recommendation for Agatha Christie fans and I have been hooked ever since. Overall this book is a nice classic mystery and fans of this age of mystery will enjoy it. I highly encourage the audience to read or listen to this series in order to avoid confusion and often characters re-appear in later books. This is not my favorite book in the series, but it is an important one to help establish background for later ones. Not the best, but can't be missed in the series
Our task is to look, and to listen, and to live well. What we do to the Earth and her creatures affects us. The Earth and the whole community of creation live with us in a reciprocal relationship. Like relatives, we are connected to one another whether we like it or not. In walking toward the harmony way, we honor balance, wholeness, and connection.Ĭreation is always teaching us. Becoming Rooted contains one hundred short meditations, or observances, to help us all become better Earth relatives. Woodley invites us to come away from the American dream-otherwise known as an Indigenous nightmare-and get in touch with the water, land, plants, and creatures around us, with the people who lived on that land for thousands of years prior to Europeans' arrival, and with ourselves. Randy Woodley takes us by the hand and walks with us for the first one hundred days. Through meditations and ideas for reflection and action, Randy Woodley, an activist, author, scholar, and Cherokee descendant, recognized by the Keetoowah Band, guides us on a one-hundred-day journey to reconnect with the Earth. ' Becoming Rooted offers us a precious way back into the land: a way into restoration and reciprocity, a way into healing ourselves and the land, a way of belonging again, a way of finding out who we are.

Becoming Rooted invites us to live out a deeply spiritual relationship with the whole community of creation and with Creator. As she learns from her neurologist, temporal-lobe epilepsy commonly brings about "hypergraphia (voluminous writing), an intensification but also a narrowing of emotional response, and an obsessive interest in religion and philosophy." Dostoyevsky, the classic victim of this condition, wrote of his raptures: "There are moments, and it is only a matter of five or six seconds, when you feel the presence of eternal harmony. The story hinges on Sister John's discovery that her visions are in fact the result of mild epileptic seizures. The only downside is that they are accompanied by excruciating headaches that cause her to black out. So vivid have her visions become that they burn a kind of afterglow into her mind that she transcribes into crystalline (and highly popular) verse. Sister John of the Cross, a middle-aged nun cloistered in a Carmelite monastery in contemporary Los Angeles, languished for years in a spiritual drought-"her prayers empty and her soul dry"-until she suddenly received God's grace in the form of intense mystical visions. In his third novel, Lying Awake, Mark Salzman breaks the primary rule of fiction by creating a protagonist who has virtually no external life. |
