Blue Sky Kingdom: An Epic Family Journey to the Heart of the Himalaya

Feeling disconnected from his family and the world around him, Bruce Kirkby decided a change was needed. That decision led Bruce and his family to cross the Pacific, travel through South Korea, China, India and Nepal, eventually traversing the Himalayas by foot. Their destination: a thousand-year-old Buddhist monastery, one of the last places where Tibetan Buddhism is still practised freely in its original setting. Together the Kirkby family spent the summer absorbed by monastery life, and in this refuge, Bruce discovered ways to slow down, observe, listen, and, ultimately, to better understand his son on the autism spectrum. Recounted with wit and humility, Blue Sky Kingdom is an engaging travel memoir.

Digital Body Language: How to Build Trust & Connection No Matter the Distance

Everyday we muddle our way through ambiguous emails and texts, disjointed video meetings, and confusing conference calls. How did we lose our innate capacity to understand each other?

Humans rely on body language to connect and build trust, but with most of our communication now happening remotely, traditional body language signals are no longer visible – or are they? In Digital Body Language, Erica Dhawan combines cutting edge research with engaging storytelling to decode the new signals and cues that have replaced traditional body language across genders, generations, and culture. In person, we instinctively show others that we listen and care. Online, reading carefully is the new listening. Writing clearly is the new empathy. And a phone or video call is worth a thousand emails. Digital Body Language will turn your daily misunderstandings into a set of collectively understood laws that foster connection, no matter the distance.
