Do I walk away from WAW? (1)

[1foot2]

I know I have come across several recommendations for a couple of books and TED talk/inspirational speeches in re: the tasks I set out above, in various threads on this boad. I'm going to go on a search to find those when I get some time tonight.

But if anyone has anything along those lines to recommend, I would be grateful. I'm going to be logging library and bookstore couch hours in the near future.

Solution oriented mental focus strategies, compassionate listening/communication, parenting, career focus, I'm all ears.
