Rog and The Guides provide deceptively simple, straight-forward principles, and suggest practical practices to keep you moving. Learn to know when you’ve fallen off your road to awakening and how to quickly recover your peace.

“Peaceful Awakening” went from zero to availability online in one month – all at a leisurely pace. We say this not as a challenge to our writer friends, but as a message of hope and a celebration of what’s possible.
The idea of the book is threefold: to provide a guide that helps readers stay grounded in the middle system when they’re making their first moves along their personal road to awakening; to shorten the period of awakening by laying out simple principles and practical practices that provide a framework for personal awakening; and to minimize the suffering that can happen while awakening.
Please take a moment to check it out. It’s free, and easy to download in any format known to the ebook world.

Choosing Joy at Work
There’s a lot more to work than making money or widgets; we’re all desperate to uncover meaning in our work and enrich our entire lives with what we find there. “Choosing Joy at Work” guides readers through the three steps the author followed in reclaiming his joy and personal power.
The first section of the book unravels our misguided notions about joy, choice, and work, and replaces them with a workable vision. In the second section, readers learn to see joy in work, influence and spread joy in the workplace, and create joyful work situations, as they join the author in reconnecting with joy in childhood chores and activities, grunt work, boring office work, writing, campus politics, management, teaching, design, volunteering, and consulting.
Through a deeper understanding of seeing, influencing, and creating joy at work, readers in any box on the organizational chart can take their next step towards freedom and joy by exercising their personal power on Monday. This book changes the way we see work, and so speaks not just to millions of business managers and leaders, but to workers, parent, teachers, coaches, and all those striving to make their work and the work of those around them joyful, meaningful, and effective.
At a writers retreat in Sedona, during an intense exercise for connecting with our muse, Roger was guided to write the book “Choosing Joy at Work.” Roger’s immediate response was “Yuck!” Already known as the “kum-bye-ya manager,” he was afraid this book would cost him his last ounce of credibility as a business consultant.
Like most of us, he had been afraid to ask for his real purpose because he was fearful of the sacrifice it might entail. Over the eighteen months he wrestled with Choosing Joy at Work, Roger came to understand the wisdom of spirit.
Since he was little, Roger has been on a quest for that special feeling we get when we’re working on team that’s “in the zone.” For more than twenty years he served as an internal and external consultant, coach, and change agent to small businesses and nonprofit organizations, trying to create that feeling for himself and others.
In writing the book, Roger finally realized that feeling is joy. At the same time, in his ongoing effort to research, practice, and develop ways to make change positive, he finally understood that choosing joy is the most powerful lever for change available to business today.
Studies show workers increasingly seek joy outside of work. It’s a shame, because joy is just good business. Happy people produce more. And since joy is available immediately and in abundance, it doesn’t cost much in terms of time or money.
In “Choosing Joy at Work,” Roger shares his life-long pursuit of joy in work and guides readers to reconnect with and develop their own joy in work.
