In this week’s show I shared examples of ‘Common Wealth’ from my new book, ‘Common Ground for US’. I shared two examples and mentioned there was a third. This is it, and probably one of my favorite stories to tell.

In this week’s show Elana Michelson told us about her new novel ‘Part of the Solution: A Counterculture Whodunit.’  The book sounds so interesting–“first-rate…addictive reading” one reviewer wrote–and its back story is great fun. 

In this week’s show Jori Hanna and I talked about her new novel, ‘The Regulars of Amanda Lexie’. She shares that the book flows from her asking ‘What if’ questions about the frequent customers of the coffee shop where Amanda works. 

Join host Carl Nordgren for this week’s exploration into the unique biological markers of knowledge, wisdom and experience.

In this week’s show our guest, Bradley McDevitt, spends time talking about the importance of our bodies in our creative growth and performance.  

When I think about everyday creativity I think about being generous with the inches and minutes of daily life. My experience and my study have taught me there is a wonderful creative energy released through our generous behaviors — an energy that serves you and others.

This week’s show is an exploration of the lives of handicapped people. Jennifer Chassman Browne is the guest and she talks about her new book ‘See Us, Know Us; Profiles of Disability.’

This week’s show wasn’t planned. I was pulling into WCHL’s parking lot when the fellow scheduled to arrive in 15 minutes to be my guest called to say a family emergency prevented him from coming. 

This week’s episode was an exploration of the magical feeling often associated with creativity. I suggest it occurs when our subconscious mind leads us to a moment of inspiration.

In this week’s show I talked about how to apply your determination to be intentionally creative to your use of language — how your undivided attention when another is speaking is one the greatest gifts we can give each other
