"Écouter est une attitude du cœur, un désir authentique d'être avec l'autre qui attire et guérit à la fois." J. Isham. Lorsqu'un conflit apparaît, il est le plus souvent le fruit d'un malentendu, c'est à dire un "mal exprimé" et un "mal écouté".

Nous n'avons d'ailleurs pas appris à tenter de comprendre ce qui se passe en eux. Finalement, nous avons appris à nous couper de nous-mêmes pour être avec les autres.

Bob Proctor is known throughout the personal development world as the master thinker. When it comes to systematizing life, no one else comes close. He is simply the best. Bob Proctor collects thoughts and strings them together in exquisite arrays; one thought leading logically to the next until a whole method has been constructed. In Born Rich, Bob Proctor has done it again, this time taking you step by step to the surprising discovery that success is not always reaching out for something that you don’t have but rather only reaching over and rearranging the pieces that are already there.

To introduce a new kind of leadership – leading from the soul – Karl Martin welcomes us into four spaces to guide our daily rhythms: The Cave, the Road, the Table, and the Fire. Each space will advance the project – and that project is you.
