From iconic leader Bozoma Saint John, comes a memoir of grief, and
one woman's drive to thrive in the face of loss When Bozoma Saint
John's husband, Peter, died of cancer, she made one big decision:
to live life urgently. Bozoma was no stranger to adversity, having
lost her college boyfriend to suicide, navigated an interracial
marriage, grieved a child born prematurely--a process that led to
her and Peter's separation--and coparented the daughter who she and
Peter shared. When Peter knew his cancer was terminal, he gave
Bozoma a short list of things to do: cancel the divorce, and fix
the wrongs immediately. In The Urgent Life, Bozoma takes readers
through the dizzying, numbing days of multiple griefs, and the
courage which these sparked in her to live life in accordance with
her deepest values time and time again. We witness Bozoma's journey
forward through the highs and the lows, as she negotiates life as a
woman determined to learn from tragedies to build a remarkable life
worth living even in her brokenness. Bozoma's story is
extraordinary, but her grief is not uncommon, and her courage is
sure to touch any reader who has loved, mourned and is finding a
path through loss and grief, as well as anyone who is maneuvering a
pivot and wants to live life to its fullest.
For much of the last century, large, predominantly US corporations
used public relations to demonstrate that their missions resonated
with dominant societal values. Through the construction and
conveyance of the "corporate persona", they aimed to convince
citizens that they share common aspirations - and moreover that
their corporate "soul" works as a beneficent force in society.
Through examining key examples from the last 80 years, this book
argues that PR, through the corporate persona, works to create a
sense of shared reality between the corporation and the average
citizen. This has been instrumental in conveying, across
generations, that the corporation is an affinitive corporate
persona - a fellow companion in the journey of life. The construct
is obviously ripe for manipulation, and the role of PR in creating
and promoting the corporate persona in order to align corporations
and stakeholders is potentially problematic. From wage inequality
to climate change, preserving the corporate status quo may be
negative. This original and thought-provoking book not only
critically analyses how PR and its role in the corporate persona
works to solidify power, but also how that power might be used to
further goals shared by the corporation and the individual.
Scholars and advanced students of public relations, organizational
communications and communication studies will find this book a
challenging and illuminating read.

In Dark Night of the Soul, Saint John of the Cross presents for us
a portrait painted from his own experience of one who advances
successfully through the struggles of the spiritual life. The dark
night that St John describes is not abandonment by God but special
consideration from Him for those who desire to purify and perfect
their souls.
With a soul purified from earthly attachments, we can advance
through the much quoted but oft misunderstood dark night of the
souls into unity with God. By accepting the desolation and
difficulty of this process, the soul cooperates with God and opens
itself to receiving and revealing more perfectly God s glory.
Be not afraid- Dark Night of the Soul, though austere and exacting
in its instructions for holy living, is laced with St John s
charity and kindness, his love of all things beautiful and sacred-
including you.
