*** Article: Are You Ready for a Life Review? - By Adele Ryan McDowell ***
------------------------------------------------------------ Years ago, I heard a story about a man who had the opportunity of a near-death life review. He came back into his earthly form and shared his experience. He said if he could do his life over again he would have been kinder. His comment also reminds me of the Dalai Lama who says, "Kindness is my religion." That's one church where you will find me in the front row. I can work harder at being kinder
So, why do a life review now when you know, for one man, that kindness was the answer?
A life review is an act of healing: it opens the door for compassion. It creates a force field for forgiveness, resolution, neutrality and peace around all those personal ebbs and flows. It allows you, when the moment is perfect, to cross over to the other side having completed some spiritual housekeeping. Plus it offers some great psychological perks as you mentally and emotionally resolve the past and find neutral.

*** Book Review: Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration - By Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace ***
------------------------------------------------------------
From Ed Catmull, co-founder (with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter) of Pixar Animation Studios, comes an incisive book about creativity in business--sure to appeal to readers of Daniel Pink, Tom Peters, and Chip and Dan Heath.
Creativity, Inc. is a book for managers who want to lead their employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first-ever, all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation--into the meetings, postmortems, and "Braintrust" sessions where some of the most successful films in history are made. It is, at heart, a book about how to build a creative culture--but it is also, as Pixar co-founder and president Ed Catmull writes, "an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible."
For nearly twenty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner thirty Academy Awards. The joyousness of the storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Here, in this book, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques that have made Pixar so widely admired--and so profitable.
