ACEDIA THE DARKNESS WITHIN
and The Darkness of Climate Change
We need a new cultural vision, one that allows sustainable cooperation for our species. Currently, our society and civilization are in a very dangerous crisis. Over the next 50-100 years, the changes to our planet, specifically the consequences of global warming, are likely to create catastrophic tragedy for our species (and countless other species, too). This could result in extinction of many species and, I suggest, the possible extinction of our own species. Although complex in origin, I propose that the primary contributor to this crisis is the immaturity of the human species. It is possible that we will recover from this crisis. However, unless we mature as individuals and as a species, we are simply likely to initiate a new crisis in short order. We had the crisis of nuclear holocaust; now we have the crisis of climate change. What we will create in the future is unclear. We can do the work of maturing.

Blowing Out the Darkness
The Management of Emotional Life Issues, Especially Anger and Rage
Blowing Out the Darkness presents a new look at the management of emotional issues. Anger and rage are sometimes the most cleansing of emotions, often the most dangerous. Mixed with issues of power, these emotions fuel family violation as well as other problems. Yet the resolving of authentic emotions, the sensing and living of our own truths, is one of the most satisfying and cleansing aspects of life, be it authentic rage, sadness or joy.
This is a practical book, divided into two sections. The first is a description of Dave’s Anger Management program, a 17-hour workshop, with numerous concepts and exercises. The second is a philosophical exploration of many issues peripheral to anger management: authenticity, romance and marriage, parenting, spirituality, and much more. Be prepared to be
