the napkin, the melon & the monkey by barbara burke

What a great little book!  At only 130 pages it is short on size but huge on life lessons.  In story (or parable) form, Burke shares the lessons she has learned in dealing with people.  Each of us is going to have problems.  It is how we deal with them that makes the difference.  She suggests, among other great ideas, when you get in a situation, Stop, Observe, Decide, Act.  The "aha" realizations are priceless.
A great book.
