Robert Leaf is the father of modern international public relations and this is the memoir of a man who has been at the forefront of the PR industry for almost 50 years The Art of Perception is the memoir of Robert Leaf, the man who is considered to be the all-time leader in the field of international public relations. As the international CEO of Burson-Marsteller, which became the world's largest PR firm during his tenure, he was the first executive to bring PR to the Soviet Union during the Cold War and established the first official Chinese government PR firm. He started the first international PR firm in the Middle East and opened offices throughout the world. He has advised governments, major corporations, and leading individuals, and has been involved in some of the biggest news stories of the time. Now, in a changing world of 24-hour news cycles in which global disasters are shared on the most personal levels and events make it from smartphone to headline news in seconds, the need to manage perceptions has never been more essential for corporations and individuals. In a memoir that is as entertaining as it is informative, Leaf shares his unique experiences in a book that is essential reading for communicators, business professionals, and anyone who would like to improve their skills in the art of managing perceptions.

The Anthropology of Western Religions

The Anthropology of Western Religions

Ideas, Organizations, and Constituencies

By: Murray J. Leaf

The world’s “great” religions depend on traditions of serious scholarship, dedicated to preserving their key texts but also to understanding them and, therefore, to debating what understanding itself is and how best to do it. They also have important public missions of many kinds, and their ideas and organizations influence many other important institutions, including government, law, education, and kinship. The Anthropology of Western Religions: Ideas, Organizations, and Constituencies is a comparative survey of the world’s major religious traditions as professional enterprises and, often, as social movements. Documenting the principle ideas behind Western religious traditions from an anthropological perspective, Murray J. Leaf demonstrates how these ideas have been used in building internal organizations that mobilize or fail to mobilize external support.

My Humble Quest to Heal My Colitis, Calm My ADD, and Find the Key to Happiness

By: Brian Leaf

As a college freshman business major suffering from a variety of anxiety-related maladies, Leaf stumbled into an elective: yoga. It was 1989. All his classmates were female. But yoga soothed and calmed Leaf as nothing else had. As his tale shows, Leaf embarked on a quest for health and happiness, visiting yoga studios around the country and consulting Ayurvedic physicians, swamis, and even (accidentally) a prostitute.
