So says this weeks guest, Dr. Tomás Lafayette Picard, in shedding light on the origins of his unique—and definitely askew—perspective of life.

Dr. Picard has focused his life’s energy on learning and sharing with others what he has learned.

How many conversations today will you try to get through to: customers, clients, employees, colleagues, bosses, directors, managers, vendors not to mention spouses, children, parents, friends and of course yourself?

Probably a more appropriate question would be, how many conversations will you have today where you are not trying to get through to someone? The answer. Probably few.

And after you get through, what next? How often do they change what they’re doing in a positive direction for both them and you?  What would be the effect on your and their productivity if they did?
The secret to this is not what you tell people.  It’s what you enable them to tell you that is critically important to them, that you listen to and care about, and then help them with.

Mark Goulston, M.D. is a business advisor, consultant, trainer and coach trained as a clinical psychiatrist who honed his skills as an FBI/police hostage negotiation trainer who increases people’s ability to get through to anyone.  He is the author of the recently published and Amazon.com best selling book, “Just Listen” Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone (AMACOM, $24.95).

This Week on Breaking Through - Lynne Klippel -

As Lynne Klippel sat in the sun on her front porch in March 2009, she wished she had a book to send to her brother to read during his chemotherapy treatments – something to remind him that he was not alone and to encourage him to fight for his life. It was a heart-wrenching time when three members of her immediate family all had cancer at the same time, along with a dear friend. Furthermore, she says, “It seemed like everywhere I looked, I saw tragedy. Other friends were losing jobs and fearful about the prospects of finding new work. The evening news was full of financial scandals, plant closings, kidnappings, and war. I wanted a book that could also give them hope, inspiration, and encouragement on every page!”

Klippel gathered the first person accounts of 38 people who faced tremendous personal tribulations, and then turned them into triumphs–thanks to their persistence, strength and faith. The result was the remarkable Overcomers, Inc, True Stories of Hope, Courage and Inspiration. This Amazon.com #1 bestseller features the extraordinary first-person accounts of 38 inspirational people who relate their empowering stories of triumph-over-adversity, providing a roadmap to others on how to navigate from the darkness to peace, abundance, success and light.

Should I sacrifice for others or give to myself? Be generous or draw boundaries? Stay in a relationship or say goodbye? Tensions like these are not only a natural part of life—theyare life.

While modern society is ill-equipped to bring us back into balance, the sages of East and West are experts, and Honor Yourself explores their practical, and surprising, advice. Combining wisdom from around the world with real-life stories and a treasury of tools, it exposes the most potent myths about giving—half-truths that prevent us from living a life filled with possibility and passion. With candor, compassion, and a bit of humor too, Spadaro shows us how to move beyond the myths to the magic of full-hearted living so we can unleash the full power of our creative spirit and give our greatest gifts to our loved ones, our communities, and the world.

We are called to master the delicate dance of giving and receiving in virtually every area of our lives, and this beautiful work offers empowering and heartfelt ways to do it. It will free you to celebrate your own gifts and greatness as you explore the dynamics behind

• giving with the heart rather than the head
• setting boundaries and being honest about unhealthy people in your life
• using feelings to stay true to yourself
• learning when to seek support or fly solo
• finding your own voice
• honoring endings, and much more.

Just as importantly, Honor Yourself will teach you the steps for staying in balance. For when you learn the steps, you c an perform the dance—and that’s when the magic begins.

Patricia Spadaro is an author and expert in practical spirituality. Her latest book is Honor Yourself: The Inner Art of Giving and Receiving, available at bookstores nationwide.

She has also co-authored several books on personal growth, spirituality, and world traditions. Her books have been translated into eighteen languages and are available in over twenty-five countries worldwide. She also produced a thirteen-week radio series on practical spirituality.

Patricia is also a publishing coach, freelance writer, and editor who has helped many successful authors shape, publish, and market their works. She lives with her husband and her two favorite felines in beautiful Bozeman, Montana.

Patricia’s work shows that the world’s great spiritual traditions share common themes that are extremely relevant to the issues of our daily lives. Her passion is to communicate the wisdom of the sages of East and West in ways that enlighten, inspire, and empower us to create practical transformation in our own lives and the lives of those we touch. She describes herself as a life-long learner who has a penchant for paradox and for collecting ancient and modern quotations that are wise, witty, and compel us to wake up.
