Book recommendations?

Does anyone know of any books that have the general theme of the transformative nature of trouble (or how to transform trouble into growth)? I'm looking for a book (or books) that are kind of mix between the Transitions books by William Bridges and and Chodron's When Things Fall Apart.

Maybe that's a book that I'll need to write someday. Possible working title: The Alchemist's Guide to Trouble. Now all I need is to develop the content-;)

BTW, not ignoring you guys. Just exhausted. I might even go to sleep soon-;)

LiveJournal can be useful

Someone mentioned paying bills on another journal, and I just remembered that I need to pay my cell phone bill online.

And there you have it-;)

Paradox

If we are not our thoughts, then who are we then?

Perhaps our actions....
