Robert A. Johnson, bestselling author of He, She, We, and other psychology classics, shares a lifetime of insights and experiences in this easy-to-read explanation of psychological projection -- seeing traits in others that are, in fact, our own. He masterfully reveals how each of us gives up our inner gold to those whom we idealize or are attracted to. Each one of us must learn the arduous task of taking back this gold as we move through life's journey.

Drawing on early Christianity, medieval alchemy, depth psychology, and the myths of The Flying Dutchman and The Once and Future King, he also explores the subjects of loneliness, fundamentalist religion, and the spiritual dimensions of psychology.

One of the most influential and visionary analysts of his generation, Johnson follows the tradition of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell among those whose ideas have shaped our deepest metaphors of self and psyche. His books are known worldwide for presenting Jung's complex theories with the simplicity and grace.

With twinkling eyes and the smile of a wise old man, Robert Johnson brings us the wisdom of a life fully lived....The healing power of Robert's writing is palpable.

Robert Johnson's work always has that naked intensity that tells you you're in the psychic house of an honest man.

The Wisdom of Sustainability: Buddhist Economics for the 21st Century continues E. F. Schumacher's groundbreaking work on Buddhist economics in Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered. Emphasizing small-scale, indigenous, sustainable alternatives to globalization, Sulak offers hope and alternatives for restructuring our economies based on Buddhist principles and personal development.

Sulak Sivaraksa is one of Asia's leading social thinkers and activists. His wide-ranging work includes founding the International Network of Engaged Buddhists and dozens of other educational and political grassroots organizations, and authoring more than 100 books in Thai and English, including Seeds of Peace: A Buddhist Vision for Renewing Society. He was nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize and, in 1995, received the Right Livelihood Award, known as the alternative Nobel Peace Prize.

Sulak Sivaraksa and I share a conviction that if we are to solve human problems, economic and technological development must be accompanied by an inner spiritual growth. -H.H. the Dalai Lama

Sulak is one of the heroes of our time, offering deep wisdom and refreshingly sane alternatives to the earth-destroying religions of consumerism, greed, and exploitation. -Joanna Macy, author of World as Lover, World as Self

With the crash of the economy, the question of alternatives to the current economic model has become extremely urgent. Sulak Sivaraksa has been in the forefront of developing a thoroughgoing critique of consumerism. -Walden Bello, author of Deglobalization: Ideas for a New World Economy

Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace is a harvest of creative, redemptive storytelling-nonfiction, fiction, and poetry-spanning five wars and written by those most profoundly affected by it.

Fifteen hundred protestors line Kaua'i's pier. Dozens more leap onto surfboards, boogie boards, and canoes, risking their lives to stop the oncoming colossus: the high-speed Hawaii Superferry riding in on a wave of deception and collusion. The protesters block the ship, and force it back to Honolulu. But why such outrage?... Over a ferryboat?

The Superferry Chronicles is a riveting tale of intrigue and corruption-and an inspiring popular uprising against rampant commercialization. Impeccably researched, The Chronicles exposes hidden connections to defense industries preparing for Pacific conflicts, and an ambitious governor pandering to powerful military investors. Her administration gives the mammoth catamaran-bigger than a football field-a free pass to blaze its way at 40 miles per hour through protected whale breeding grounds and transport dangerous invasive species to fragile ecosystems-despite stringent environmental laws and a unanimous Supreme Court stop-order. Central to the story, we hear directly from Hawaii's citizens fighting to protect their lands, and saying loud and clear, Enough is enough.

Award-winning filmmaker Koohan Paik of Kaua'i and Jerry Mander, the patriarch of the antiglobalization movement (New York Times), are joined by military observers, legal experts, and environmental professionals, to tell this compelling David-and-Goliath saga of local heroism versus global powers, exposing universal crises playing out in a Pacific archipelago.

Open this book and dive into a story of almost allegoric proportions. Let it embolden you to stand up for our Earth, its beauty and its creatures, including ourselves. -Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet and Hope's Edge

The idea of boats to connect the Hawaiian Islands is so natural and lovely that it makes one doubly mad to read how in this case it's been perverted into yet one more sad scheme for our paranoid future. Good for you-people of Hawaii-who've raised the alarm, and to these authors for pulling back the curtain.-Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy

I applaud the authors for bringing the voices of the grassroots to the foreground. The people make history, and the people of Kaua'i have made us proud. Kauli'i makou, nui ke aloha no ka 'aina. ('We are small in numbers, but our love for our land is great.') -Ikaika Hussey, Publisher The Hawai'i Independent

In every era, simple events become symbols of greater forces that shape human history. The Superferry Chronicles brings one such moment alive. This book captures the spirit of that defining event and reveals the corporate manipulation, political bullying, corruption, and deceit that lay behind the Hawaii Superferry.-Lucienne de Naie, Chair, Sierra Club Hawaii

Koohan Paik and Jerry Mander offer the world a wide interpretation of indigenous sensibility. We in Hawaii are grateful and stand ready for more effective collaboration. It's time to save this planet! I mua ka lahui o Hawaii-nui-akua. ('Let us all move forward, all people of the world.') -Dr. Manulani Aluli Meyer, Hawaiian practitioner and educator

Following her husband's untimely death, Margaret Trost visited Haiti to heal her broken heart through service. Struggling to make sense of the extreme poverty and touched by the warmth and resilience of those she met, she partnered with a local community and together they developed a program that now serves thousands of meals a week to those in need. On That Day, Everybody Ate is an autobiography of her remarkable journey.

This small, polished gem of a book is one compelling answer to many questions about how to inject meaning in our lives....
- from the Foreword by Dr. Paul Farmer, cofounder of Partners In Health

Margaret Trost shares an unflinching, compassionate account of her work in Haiti. The beauty and resilience of Haiti's people shine against the landscape of poverty, hunger, and political instability they face daily. Her journey demonstrates the power of hope, faith, and determination.

Margaret Trost is the founder of the What If? Foundation, which provides funding for up to 7,500 meals a week to Haiti's children, offers educational scholarships, and supports a summer camp in Port-au-Prince. A home-based business entrepreneur and former public television producer, she lives in Northern California.

Cindy Sheehan lost her son, Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, in an ambush in Sadr City, Baghdad, in early 2004. As information became available revealing that the war in Iraq was based on lies, she began speaking out against it and demanding the troops come home. In August 2005, she went to Texas, to ask President Bush to explain the noble cause for the war he cites in his speeches, and her efforts attracted thousands to create Camp Casey, and drew worldwide attention. This anti-war movement book is a clear, well-written statement of her case against the war and her plea for ending this senseless adventure.

Equal parts compelling memoir and call to action, Not One More Mother's Child tells in Sheehan's distinctive voice how historical events and personal tragedy transformed her from grieving mom to ardent activist.
