No one can successfully achieve goals and new objectives, provide outstanding service, engage in exceptional teamwork, make change in their community or lead other people without personal accountability. After decades of working with organisations and individuals, John G. Miller knows that the troubles that plague them cannot be solved by pointing fingers and blaming others. Rather, the real solutions are found when each of us recognizes the value of our own accountability. In this book, Miller explains how negative, ill-focused questions like "Who dropped the ball?" harm rather than help. Conversely, when we begin to ask better questions - QBQs, questions behind the questions - and to see power in ourselves, then our lives and organisations are transformed. Succinct, insightful and practical, this book provides the tools for putting personal accountability into daily action, with astonishing results.

Psychotherapy is not a "one size fits all approach." As author John Miller describes in Changing Roles for a New Psychotherapy, all theoretical orientations have their uses and merits in different situations and with different clients. Through a varied personal life and professional career, in which he developed a creative psychotherapeutic approach that allows the adaptation of diverse roles with clients, Dr. Miller has gained insights through working in academia, the sciences, management consulting, and a state hospital. He applies these insights, along with those he gained working various summer jobs, to take readers beyond the standard medical model of diagnosis and treatment by drawing on the roles of other professionals. He examines 11 different occupations and explores how the insights gained in each field can enhance therapeutic possibilities. How does cooking relate to psychotherapy? Can accounting change the way psychotherapy is performed? Read on to find out!

David is a young boy of 10, who has a special place he goes where he dreams amazing dreams. In his dreams he can fly about the lake near his home and he meets his friend Alexander, who is an angel. They enjoy flying together around the lake and then Alexander takes him for his first visit to the ocean. As they rest on the beach, David hears a mysterious song coming from the sea that captivates him and draws him into the water. They meet dolphin guides who take them far out and then down to an amazing underwater "cathedral" inside a coral reef. Here all the dolphins, whales and other sea creatures have gathered to meet with their Creator, who appears in blinding light. As a voice from the Glorious Presence pronounces a blessing on them all, He beckons David to come closer and receive a special blessing. When David finds himself back on the grassy shore of the lake he finds that he has been given a special reminder of his amazing visit to the ocean. He is filled with joy as he goes on his way. This story teaches a special lesson, that few truly understand, that worship of our Creator is a great privilege that can bring real joy to our hearts. This secret of the Christian life needs to be told and retold to all that will hear as we all face many challenges in our daily lives. The young person who learns this lesson early on will fare better in their Christian life and walk closer to their Lord.

The story of the Night Riders is an important episode in the history of the Kentucky Black Tobacco Belt. In an attempt to protect their most valuable money crop from the exploitation of capitalistic trusts, law-abiding farmers organized and resorted to the use of illegal force to prevent buying and selling except through their own agency, The Black Tobacco Association. This is the story of the breaking of their rule of terror and the reestablishment of law.

All Rights Reserved No reproduction in any form of this book, in whole or in part except for brief quotation in critical articles or reviews, may be made without written authorization from the pub lishers. First Published July 1948 Three Reprintings Second Edition September 1962 PRINTED Ef THE LOTTED STATES OF AMERICA To my unje HETTY PREFACE Metal Art Crafts is a book of materials, tools, processes, and projects designed for the use of those who are interested in exploring the various areas of metalcraft. Each individual material used in the craft shop is described in detail including such pertinent information which it is necessary to know when selecting and ordering the materials needed. All tools com mon to metalcraft work are illustrated and supplemented with an explana tion and description of the particular function of each. The object of this section is to acquaint the reader with the proper use and nomenclature of each hand and machine tool used in metalcraft work. The section on processes and operations has been organized in such a manner that the metal-worker can look up the directions for any particular phase of metal craft inwhich he may be interested. Twenty-two projects have been grouped in the final chapter, each in cluding a drawing and picture of the finished article and, on the opposite page, a bill of material and the step-by-step procedure necessary for the construction of the project. Projects have been arranged in groups involv ing the various phases of metalcraft work. For this reason, the beginner need not necessarily start with project number one. It is suggested, how ever, that the beginner select a basic project before attempting one which may be too difficult. Before any project in chapter four is attempted, reference should be made to the more detailed description of the materials, tools, and processes as described in the previous chapters. In preparing this book, the author has enlisted the assistance of a num ber of former students who are training to be either industrial arts or craft teachers. To these students he wishes to express his sincere appreciation. My thanks also to Professor Ray E. Raines and Professor John V. Adams, of the Department of Vocational Education, New York University, who generously reviewed portions of the manuscript. J. G. M. Baldwin, N. Y. CONTENTS Preface v CHAPTER PAGE I.

Since it is soft, very ductile, and malleable, it can be used for work which requires stretching by hammering and bending. Copper has a reddish color, will take a fine polish, and reacts when treated with various chemicals, produc ing various colored effects on its surface...

In his bestselling ""QBQ!" The Question Behind the Question," Miller revealed how personal accountability helps to create opportunity, overcome obstacles, and achieve goals by eliminating blame, complaining, and procrastination. Now he takes readers to the next level to show how they can use the power of the "QBQ!" and personal accountability every day.

QBQ! author John G. Miller's insightful advice for instilling personal accountability in kids How often have we heard complaints like these? "Why don't my kids do what I say?" "Who made the mess in here?" "When will my teen make better choices?" These are the kinds of questions that parents ask that lead not only to complaining, but to victim thinking, procrastination, and blaming. The solution: Learn to parent the QBQ way - and bring personal accountability to life within our families. Based on the same concepts that have made John Miller's signature work, QBQ: The Question Behind the Question, an international bestseller over the last decade, RAISING ACCOUNTABLE KIDS provides the tool called the QBQ or The Question Behind the Question that will help every parent look behind questions such as "Why won't my kids listen?" or "When will they do what I ask?" to find better ones-QBQs-like "What can I do differently?" or "How can I improve as a parent?" This simple but challenging concept turns the focus - and responsibility - back to parents and to what they can do to make a difference. With thoughtful commentary, observation, and advice, illustrated with engaging and memorable anecdotes that are the hallmarks of John Miller's previous books, RAISING ACCOUNTABLE KIDS provides all mums and dads with the means and inspiration to be more effective parents - as well as teach their children how to practice their own brand of personal accountability - to create a happy, healthy family for a lifetime.
