Enrichment.com Interviews Dennis Wholey
Mike Schwager, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Enrichment.com, had the pleasure to recently interview television talk show host and author Dennis Wholey. Here is that conversation:
MS: Dennis – welcome to Enrichment.com. First, I want to say “thank you” for everything you’ve done to enrich people’s lives. First, for your terrific talk show, This Is America with Dennis Wholey, aired on many PBS stations; and for your wonderful six books, the most recent of which is Why Do I keep Doing That? And books like The Courage of Change, which has been a NY Times bestseller, and The Miracle Of Change – and of course the amazing 26 part television series on the religions of the world, I Believe, aired on many PBS and public television stations. So welcome.
[NOTE: Why Do I Keep Doing That? can be found at this Amazon.com link:
DW: Thank you so much Mike. Good to be with you, and thank you for the invitation to spend some time with you.
MS: Your books Dennis have to do with the lessons you’ve personally learned from your own struggles as an alcoholic. Is that right?
DW: I think that’s a fair statement, Mike. I think most non-fiction writers tend to follow the guidance and admonition of writing what you know about, and so I have ended up writing about lessons I’ve learned along the way. I think you’ve put your finger on it quite accurately. The jumping off point was my recovery, now more than a few years, from some heavy drinking and addiction to pills.

Angel Animals Book of Inspiration
[New World Library]
Interview with authors Allen & Linda Anderson

How did you get started collecting and publishing stories about the spiritual connection between people and animals? Why do you call yourselves a “golden team”?
In 1996, we were walking around Lake Harriet in Minneapolis with our yellow Labrador Taylor. She had a big grin on her face. People kept stopping to ask if we knew our dog was smiling. We thought about how much joy she and our other animals were bringing to us. We started listing spiritual qualities we were gaining by observing and living with our pets – love, gratitude, creativity, joy. We wondered if other people felt they were learning spiritual lessons from animals. After the walk, we went home and made up a flyer to put around town and we posted questions on Internet animal chat groups. We asked: Are you learning spiritual lessons from animals? Have you ever had a dream with an animal? Do you think animals go to heaven? Within 60 days we had hundreds of responses from all over the world. We knew we had to share these wonderfully inspiring stories of animals as spiritual beings.

The God Code: The Secret of Our Past, The Promise of Our Future
[Editor's Note: "The God Code" is not a brand new book, but a powerful book we thought worth posting on Enrichment. We cannot scientifically verify that author Greg Braden is 100% accurate from a scientifically objective place - but our sense is, from an intuitive place, that the message is meaningful and worth contemplating and reflecting upon.]

USE AROMATHERAPY TO RELIEVE STRESS
by Jo Hartley
from NaturalNews.com
(NaturalNews) People's stress level these days seems to be directly related to their jobs and their workplaces. There are many factors that directly contribute to the amount of stress that people feel. Job insecurity, unnatural lighting, lack of natural sun, computers, chemicals, and job pressures are only a few of the many situations that people have to deal with on a daily basis. Many of these situations also seem beyond a person's control and that can lead to even more stress. Read more...

Enrichment.com Enthusiastically Supports The Tony Blair Faith Foundation
One of the cornerstones of the mission of Enrichment.com is to encourage dialogue between the great religions and cultures of the world. In 1990, when the vision of this site was first put on paper, what came through was that as the world undergoes globalization through technology, and as peoples and ideas would of necessity converge through the instruments of communication heightened by technology, that it would be vital for true mutual understanding and empathy to be fostered between peoples of different faiths and cultures. From the dialogue that convergence can encourage, a new opportunity and hope emerges on our planet enabling people of goodwill to find common ground - to realize that which unites rather than that which divides.
The Tony Blair Faith Foundation reflects this vision, and Enrichment.com wishes to enthusiastically support the former Prime Minister's great new humanitarian enterprise, and all of its various activities guided by this overarching spirit. - [Mike Schwager, Editor-in-Chief]. Read More....
Microfinance: Boon or bane?
Editor's note: In July 2007, I arranged an online debate on FT.com (Financial Times) between microfinance expert Eric Thurman, co-author of A Billion Bootstraps: Microcredit, Barefoot Banking, and the Business Solution for Ending Poverty, and Professor Aneel Karnani of the University of Michigan. This was a lively polemic between two humanitarians with opposing views on the efficacy of microcredit (or microfinance as it is also known) - and the best ways to reduce poverty in the developing world. It was important enough to earn another posting here on Enrichment.com. It is posted here in "Breakthrough News" - as well as in our "Cross-Pollinate" section - and again in our "Humanitarian Issues" section. - Mike Schwager, Editor-in-Chief, Enrichment.com. Read more...

Carving the Path for Muslim-Jewish Dialogue
Washington DC / Los Angeles - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recent declaration that Israel should be "wiped off the map"-- far from being an isolated case -- underscores the reality that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must be viewed in the context of global tension between Muslims and Jews, tension that is exacerbated by hostilities in the region and that simultaneously helps fuel those hostilities by inflaming fear and mistrust between the two sides.

People Who Enrich Our Lives
The Dalai Lama
When the Dalai Lama Accepted the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global human rights -- particularly for his ceaseless efforts to free his country from Chinese rule -- he referred to himself as "a simple monk from Tibet." But His Holiness is also the spiritual and political leader of 6 million Tibetans, who believe him to be the 14th earthly incarnation of the heavenly deity of compassion and mercy. Like his 13 predecessors, he works for the regeneration and continuation of the Tibetan Vajrayana branch of Buddhist tradition. Read more ...
