The Art of Conscious Conversations: Transforming How We Talk, Listen, and Interact
By Chuck Wisner
We live in conversations like fish live in water—we’re in them all the time, so we don’t think about them much. As a result, we often find ourselves stuck in cyclical patterns of unproductive behaviours. This book is a practical guide for thoughtfully reflecting on conversations so we can avoid the common pitfalls that cause our relationships and work to go sideways.

You, Your Child and Arthritis – 6th edition
By Arthritis Society Canada
Many incorrectly think that arthritis is just a disease for the elderly. With stats telling us that three in 1000 Canadian youngsters living with juvenile arthritis, it becomes more common than most chronic childhood disease. While there is no cure, this guide will review diagnosis, treatment, therapies and medications suggesting that children who are well-monitored and follow the recommended treatments have the best outcomes overall and have bright, active futures.
