Laugh, be inspired...and tap into your vast human potential.
Good humor has the uncanny ability to break down barriers.
This collection of over fifty essays by master educator Yehoshua Kurland is a unique combination of laughter and lessons, of humor and heartfelt advice.
Each of these easy-to-read, self-help oriented essays covers topics like change, freedom, peace, internal struggle, and our relationships with others and with God.
The chosen format that combines a humorous story with an insightful lesson is one that helps to open our minds and hearts and leads us to contemplate our course in life – to actualize the vast potential possessed by every human being.
It is often difficult to penetrate our hearts or to touch our souls, given the many protective walls we build.
A good joke provides insight and creates an atmosphere of comfort that eases tension and opens the heart.
A light matter, a bit of laughter, a smile brought to one’s lips – can lead to an important lesson for eternity.

Communicating with our children. Conversing. Connecting.
When did it become so difficult? And how do we begin to change it for the better?
This book was designed to help parents answer these important questions, and it is based on two fundamental ideas:
- The first is that there are no bad children, and no deliberately bad parents -- but that sometimes, despite the best of intentions on both sides, there can be bad relationships between parents and children.
- The second is that, as parents, we must do everything we can to save those relationships, to reach out and really communicate with our children, because it is only through talking to them that we can create an environment for inspiration and change.
In this compelling book, Shmuley Boteach, passionate social commentator and outspoken relationship guru, walks you through the critical conversations, including: cherishing childhood; developing intellectual curiosity; knowing who you are and what you want to become; learning to forgive; realizing the importance of family and tradition; being fearless and courageous.
As a father of eight, Rabbi Shmuley speaks from a wealth of experience. He has written a book for parents of children of all ages, from toddlers, who are just beginning to become aware of the world around them, to adolescents, who must learn to navigate all sorts of tricky social and academic pressures.
10 Conversations will help you stay connected to your children so that they develop the kind of strong moral character that leads to rich, meaningful lives.
