Is it possible to make sense of something as elusive as creativity? Creativity works in mysterious ways, with inspiration often arising out of nowhere - and then failing to show up when we need it most! Combining the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology with original research, Dr Kaufman and Carolyn Gregoire dig deeper than ever before into the creative mind. Taking us on a fascinating journey that unpacks the creative genius layer by layer, they reveal what creativity is, what creative people do differently and what we can all learn from this.

From discussions of the stereotypical yoga body to analyses of pivotal court cases, Yoga, the Body, and Embodied Social Change examines the sociopolitical tensions of contemporary yoga.

The Theory of Leadership
Can you imagine hearing a newly elected official taking the following oath of office: "Do you solemnly swear that if you are not here to help us you at least won't hurt us?" That may sound far-fetched, but it isn't. For the strength of any nation is directly related to the overall well-being of its citizens. In God's eyes, how well a nation's leaders treat those who have been marginalized by the larger society has more to do with the country's rise or fall than its political, military, or intellectual might. If you are concerned for the plight of humanity, this book is for you. Though written from a leader's perspective, its biblical principles and practices are universal. You will see which personal characteristics cause a leader to rise or fall. From that, you will gain valuable leadership tools for yourself by learning how other leaders have been able to garner the favor of God during difficult leadership situations.
