Money with Purpose
This is the money book to read before all the others. Personal finance advice often overwhelms—and too often separates money from the values guiding the rest of life.

Mozart in Prague
Mozart in Prague explores the city that embraced Mozart as Vienna often did not. In musically literate Prague, he found true recognition—celebrated like a rock star at the 1787 premiere of the “Prague” Symphony. After his 1791 death, Prague honored him with a massive funeral that halted civic life, and its citizens helped support his penniless widow and children. Blending cultural history and vivid characters—including Marie Antoinette and Giacomo Casanova—the book reveals Mozart’s unique bond with this beautiful, cultured city.

Peace for Our Planet
This book argues that history is shaped by two parallel forces: a constructive process building collective consciousness, and a destructive process clinging to divisive power. It traces how racism, nationalism, religious strife, gender inequality, and extreme wealth and poverty are increasingly delegitimized—prompting a frantic last stand by those who benefit. Amid collapsing institutions, it highlights the forward march toward peace and the practical role each person can play in advancing it.
