Much has been written about relationships. Most of it has been written by women. A great deal of it has been agonizing about... men, and how to understand them. This is puzzling, since men are, mostly, uncomplicated creatures. Most men understand that it's far more fun simply enjoying women than trying to understand them - which explains why there's far less literature available this way around.

This is a bold attempt to provide a manual, or at worst a collection of instructions on how to pleasurably survive - and enjoy our fairer companions under varying circumstances. Having read this book, man will understand, exactly how to sail the sea of female emotions at full sail with the wind at his back, frosted beverage in hand. He will become acquainted with a basic set of protocols that will facilitate such fun - but failing that, a modicum of sustainable peace at least.

Cartoons are courtesy of the inimitable master "toonist" Nigel Babb. The book was written, ostensibly for male consumption. Since publication, many a lady has been found closeted away with her own copy, giggling uncontrollably (and sheepishly) at the familiarity of the contents.

This book is meant for couples who see the funny side of their differences and remain intent on harmonious relationships - with one another.

International acclaim: "An utter disgrace. Dismantles in one fell swoop, 55 years of progress made by the Women's Liberation Movement."

- Joan Paddington-Squires, President Womens Liberation Movement of Minnesota.

The book is available in hard copy (South Africa) or as an eBook.

Crafting Your Future Landscape

In light of the unprecedented global turmoil we all currently face on so many fronts - economic, social, political, geophysical – it is often very difficult not to lose faith in the future both for ourselves and for the generation that will follow us.

Diamonds in the Dust explores the realities of these very serious challenges at the same time as inviting you, the reader, to go ‘prospecting’ for the ‘diamonds’ of hope that can be found in the dust and rubble of despair – if you know how to look for them.

Each of the eminent authors – all experts in their various fields – approaches these challenges from the perspective of a different discipline or set of life experiences. Some focus on the hard-core issues of business such as dealing with the reality of the multicultural workplace and the minefield of Information Technology, while others explore our physiological response to the stress we are under and provide us with in-depth advice as how to manage this in constructive ways.

Diamonds in the Dust is the voice of sanity in a world gone crazy. Join the authors in their quest to find the diamonds that lie hidden in the dirt. This journey will open your eyes to opportunities you cannot imagine while mired in the self-perpetuating litter of global bad news.

The value of outstanding client service in business can not be over emphasized. Whilst a "New Business" approach is the key to growth, in order to pay dividends this focus needs to be balanced with taking care of the customers who paid last month's bills. By focusing on new business while neglecting existing clients, companies are in effect "filling the tub with water while it's unplugged." Paul shows us how the organisations with a customer service culture will prevail, whilst their competitors focusing on new sales, price and bottom line short term profit are likely to experience a diminishing tenure.

He shares seven critical elements of customer service, the importance of effective internal and external communication, and the immense value of the human factor in business.
