In December of 2011, during the worst national economic collapse since the 1930s,Las Vegas architect and business owner Craig Galati found his firm more than $800,000 in debt. To make matter worse, the company's founding partner had just resigned, the organization had used up all it's cash reserves, and there was next-to-no work in the pipeline.Although a partner in the firm, 51-year-old Galati had to this point enjoyed his role in business development, never needing to assume a leadership position.Racked by fear and self-doubt, Galati nevertheless stepped into the breach. Rather than hiding behind bankruptcy protection, he and his remaining partners vowed to pay off every creditor, rehire their furloughed workforce and turn the company around.With brutal honesty, a profound sense of obligation and a heartfelt desire to help others, Galati is not afraid to shine a light on his failures and successes as he worked around-the-clock to pull his firm back from the brink.
We are here to transition. And that transition is a way of becoming closer to who we are so we can be one with the universe." -Craig Galati, from A Man in Transition In the self-described "midsummer" of his life, Craig Galati picked up a pen and began writing from the heart. It was as though the words flowed through him. The result is the book you have before you, a series of deeply personal reflections on relationships, leadership and life as seen through the prism of "transition." Like all of us, Craig occupies many roles: Architect. Consultant. Family man. Writer. Concerned citizen. Human being. From these diverse perspectives, he begins to make sense of the transitional nature of life. Never pretentious, always engaging, Craig explores such far-ranging and universal themes as commitment, intention, selflessness, authenticity and the power of caring with a keen eye and a deft touch. Clearly comfortable in the midst of his own transitions, Craig takes us on a journey that ultimately becomes our own.

The Balkans is often described as a grim backwater, a "no man's land of world politics" in the words of a post-World War II study "foredoomed to conflict springing from heterogeneity." The stereotype is false, but it has been distressingly influential in shaping perceptions of the Balkan conflict and its origin. By encouraging pessimism about prospects for recovery, it may also make it more difficult to sustain commitments to post conflict peace building. This book seeks to refute simplistic "ancient hatreds" explanations by looking carefully at the sources and dynamics of the Balkan conflict in all of its dimensions.

Craig believes we do not have a genuine understanding of what a "feeling" is or how we experience a feeling. Emotional feelings, though, are even less tangible and more ephemeral. Bodily awareness has been called interoceptive awareness by investigators interested in the effects of cardiorespiratory or visceral sensory activity on human mood, emotion, and performance. Craig's goal here is to provide a clear and accessible explanation of the ideas that emerged from his work on the lamina I projection map that he has been developing for the last twenty-five years. -- adapted from Introduction [pages 1-15]
