| #1 | 2/23/2012 | Medical Writing: the Healing Power of Narrative (Lewis Mehl-Madrona) This article represents the start of my annual trek to Australia to work with an aboriginal cooperative in Southeastern Australia. The goal is to help them to incorporate their culture into their health care and other human services through cultural exchange with aboriginal North Americans, aboriginal people from the North of Australia where culture is less disrupted, and others from the area. More to come of my 2 weeks! |
| #2 | 4/3/2011 | Dick Bolles, "the most recognized job-hunting authority on the planet*" (Joan Brunwasser) So, a funny thing happened to me, on the way to church. While just trying to help some campus ministers who were hanging on the ropes, I accidentally wrote a best-selling book.I didn't write it to be that.I didn't write it to make money, I only wrote it to be helpful. I didn't know that with its annual revisions (which I required) and with teaching from it all around the world, it would take over my whole life, [since] 1970. |
| #3 | 7/1/2010 | Omega Institute's Elizabeth Lesser on "Broken Open" and Personal Transformation (Joan Brunwasser) The hardest aspect of memoir is that it involves writing about not only oneself, but also about the people in one's life. My children, my parents, my husband, my ex-husband, my friends: none of them asked to be characters in my book. I am sure I caused discomfort for some of the folks in my life. But I did it for a reason that I still feel clear and good about. |
| #4 | 1/14/2010 | Chatting with Uncommon Thinker and Best-Selling Author, Robert Fulghum, Part Four (Joan Brunwasser) Well, I wish people could say that about themselves: I do what I can do as well as I can do. And that's my part. I speak for a lot of people when I say I can't fix it all. But I can still take care of my own corner. And my corner involves writing what I write and saying what I say and hoping that it's useful. |
| #5 | 1/13/2010 | Chatting with Uncommon Thinker and Best-Selling Author, Robert Fulghum, Part Three (Joan Brunwasser) The band that got all the press was the Rock Bottom Remainders, which was a group of writers -" Stephen King, Amy Tan, Barbara Kingsolver, Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson, people like that. And a publishers' rep in San Francisco found out that we were musicians. It was her idea that we should put this band together and we would raise money for good causes and,in the meantime, have a lot of fun. I can tell you outrageous stories. |
| #6 | 1/12/2010 | Chatting with Uncommon Thinker and Best-Selling Author, Robert Fulghum (Joan Brunwasser) You suddenly look in the mirror and think "Why, I are a writer now. "And if they'll take that stuff,maybe if I put my mind to it, I could write something else." So, the second book, It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It came along. And they traded #1 and #2 at the top of the NYT best-seller list for months. And so I thought, "Well, this is something I can do." Well, it'd be crazy not to see how far it would go. |
