Trevor Romain (Helping Children Release Their Inner Monkeys)
Trevor Romain (www.trevorromain.com) sees himself as Monty Python meets Dr. Seuss at Jerry Seinfeld’s house in Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. Born in South Africa, Trevor was challenged by dyslexia as a child and attended special education classes until he reached the fourth grade. At age 18, he was called for two years’ mandatory service in the South African Army where an emotional experience with a severely injured child cemented Romain’s desire to work with children and help them deal with difficult life situations. As an award-winning author and illustrator of a series of self-help books for children, Trevor animated DVD series with a cast of animated friends using humorous adventures based on his books to teach real life lessons for kids. Trevor’s series of self-help books has sold more than a million copies worldwide and have been published in 18 different languages.
Alice Schroeder (Snowball:Warren Buffett and the Business of Life!)
Alice Schroeder has written the only authorized biography of Warren Buffett with unprecedented access to him and his life, with one rule from Buffett: if she came across a less flattering version of the events from what he was remembering, to go with the less flattering one! What emerges is an account of a focused, determined, brilliant and very fragile human being with an insatiable thirst for learning who set out to prove that integrity is the corner stone of business and wealth building. Can there be another Warren Buffett? What advice does he have to navigate the current recession?
Rabbi Lawrence Kushner (Judaism & Spirituality)
What if all of life’s spiritual lessons could be distilled down to a bumper sticker? According to Rabbi Kushner (www.www.rabbikushner.org) it could read: “It’s your ego, stupid!” Rabbi Kushner is widely regarded as one of the most creative religious writers in America and is highly sought after as a lecturer and teacher. Through his lectures, articles and 15 books (translated into six languages), he has helped shape the present agenda for personal and institutional spiritual renewal.
