Book excerpt: "People leave people." In jobs, more than 7 in 10 of people who quit a job leave because of a boss or organization culture. In volunteer groups, the same is true. With social groups, the numbers are undoubtably higher. What if we could reverse that? Creating a Culture of Community is a key to keeping your community together. Having some organized, easy-to-understand system to do just that is important. That's just what THE OHANA WAY is for you: A powerful toolbox to help people connect and stay connected in a positive, powerful way. THE OHANA WAY BOOK is the complete manual on The Ohana Way. You'll find The Ohana Way Five-By-Five with 25 more chapters diving deep into Oasis, Harmony, Assertiveness, Nobility, and Aloha, plus more chapters explaining how to apply Ohana in your group, organization and family. If you want a short introduction, see THE OHANA WAY REPORT. Here's the really, really short version of what Ohana means, right out of a Disney movie: OHANA - "Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind... or forgotten." (Lilo and Stich, 2002) Ohana means family. Family is much more than those related by blood or marriage. It does include them, of course. It also includes friends, calabash cousins, and anyone with whom you share enough in common that you might consider them ohana. One aspect of this shows up in a simple term: "Hawaii." When people connected to the islands do nice things for one another, they sometimes call it simply "Hawaii." When someone used to live in Hawaii but they have left behind that kind of natural generosity common in the islands, they sometimes say "They aren't Hawaii anymore." Ohana means family. Family includes those bonded by affection and something in common. It represents an ideal that we illustrate by using ohana as an acronym. Technically, that means we should always have periods between our latters as in O.H.A.N.A., but we often dispense with the periods and just write it OHANA or even just capitalize Ohana. This way we know we're talking about our five-part acronym.OHANA means: O-OasisH-HarmonyA-AssertivenessN-NobilityA-Aloha Each one of these elements has a more complete, deeper expression than this (which we explore in future chapters). As a starting place, this is what we mean: OASIS - Be a Refreshing Refuge. Being an Oasis and helping create an Ohana Oasis means I always make it better by being here. I help create a refuge from the usual, the annoying and the difficult. HARMONY - Embrace Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations Aimed at Greatness. Great music is made from melody and harmony. Many instruments, notes, and singers work together to make all sorts of different and amazing music. Harmony means we don't have to be alike to be together. ASSERTIVENESS - Moving Forward on Purpose with Respect for Others. We Live Life on Purpose. We live assertively, learn assertively and love assertively. We practice assertive listening, assertive relationships, assertive parenting, and assertiveness in any and all areas of life. NOBILITY - Be our Highest and Best Selves. The metaphor of the Royal Knight dives deep into our ideals of princeliness and princessliness in their highest and best forms. We pursue knightly chivalry and samurai bushido in service to high ideals.ALOHA - Love in All Its Many Meanings and Manifestations. Love is I want the best for you, I want to be the best for you, and I want you to have transcendent joy. Aloha also includes hello and goodbye in Hawaiian.

Matthew King’s daughters—Scottie, a feisty ten-year-old, and Alex, a seventeen-year-old recovering drug addict—are out of control, and their charismatic, thrill-seeking mother, Joanie, lies in a coma after a boat-racing accident. She will soon be taken off life support. As Matt gathers his wife’s friends and family to say their final goodbyes, a difficult situation is made worse by the sudden discovery that there’s one person who hasn’t been told: the man with whom Joanie had been having an affair. Forced to examine what they owe not only to the living but to the dead, Matt, Scottie, and Alex take to the road to find Joanie’s lover, on a memorable journey that leads to unforeseen humor, growth, and profound revelations.

Book excerpt: Ohana, the Hawaiian word for family, whether by blood or by circumstance, is the tale of Dyson Nicks, a graduate student from Montana. Just weeks removed from losing his parents in a tragic car accident, Dyson Nicks decides to take himself as far away from home as he can for the holiday season. What was supposed to be a retreat to Oahu soon turns ugly. Within minutes of arriving, he is initiated into the unseen side of Hawaii. Theft, violence, and territorialism mark the flip side of paradise, the side most people refuse to believe exists. Through time, will, and pure dumb luck, Dyson serves to carve out his own niche within the island community. With the aid of Mahana, a local girl hiding from a past just as scarred as his own, he begins to find his way forward again. Through the kindness and generosity of strangers, he discovers the true meaning of ohana and how it comes to define Hawaiian life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beloved bestselling collection of common sense wisdom from a celebrated psychologist and military veteran who proves it's never too late to move beyond the deepest of personal losses After service in Vietnam, as a surgeon for the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in 1968-69, at the height of the war, Dr. Gordon Livingston returned to the U.S. and began work as a psychiatrist. In that capacity, he has listened to people talk about their lives--what works, what doesn't, and the limitless ways (many of them self-inflicted) that people find to be unhappy. He is also a parent twice bereaved; in one thirteen-month period he lost his eldest son to suicide, his youngest to leukemia. Out of a lifetime of experience, Gordon Livingston has extracted thirty bedrock truths, including: We are what we do. Any relationship is under the control of the person who cares the least. The perfect is the enemy of the good. Only bad things happen quickly. Forgiveness is a form of letting go, but they are not the same thing. The statute of limitations has expired on most of our childhood traumas. Livingston illuminates these and twenty-four other truths in a series of carefully hewn, perfectly calibrated essays, many of which focus on our closest relationships and the things that we do to impede or, less frequently, enhance them. Again and again, these essays underscore that "we are what we do," and that while there may be no escaping who we are, we have the capacity to face loss, misfortune, and regret and to move beyond them--that it is not too late. Full of things we may know but have not articulated to ourselves, Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart offers solace, guidance, and hope to everyone ready to become the person they'd most like to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to Playing for Keeps examine the ways in which musical improvisation can serve as a method for negotiating violence, trauma, systemic inequality, and the aftermaths of war and colonialism. Outlining the relation of improvisatory practices to local and global power structures, they show how in sites as varied as South Africa, Canada, Egypt, the United States, and the Canary Islands, improvisation provides the means for its participants to address the past and imagine the future. In addition to essays, the volume features a poem by saxophonist Matana Roberts, an interview with pianist Vijay Iyer about his work with U.S. veterans of color, and drawings by artist Randy DuBurke that chart Nina Simone's politicization. Throughout, the contributors illustrate how improvisation functions as a model for political, cultural, and ethical dialogue and action that can foster the creation of alternate modes of being and knowing in the world.

Book excerpt: "Antiracism Inc. considers new ways of struggling toward racial justice in a world that constantly steals and misuses radical ideas and practices. The critical essays, interviews, and poetry collected here focus on people and methods that do not seek inclusion in the hierarchical order of gendered racial capitalism. Rather, they focus on aggrieved peoples who have always had to negotiate state violence and cultural erasure, but who also work to build the worlds they envision. These collectivities seek to transform social structures and establish a new social warrant guided by what W.E.B. Du Bois called 'abolition democracy, ' a way of being and thinking that privileges people, mutual interdependence, and ecological harmony over individualist self-aggrandizement and profits. Further, these aggrieved collectivities reshape social relations away from the violence and alienation inherent to gendered racial capitalism, and towards the well-being of the commons."--Provided by publisher

Book excerpt: Openly gay Honolulu homicide detective Kimo Kanapa’aka and his partner, Ray Donne, are on duty at a rally in downtown Honolulu organized by Kingdom of Hawai’i, one of many competing groups which seek reparations from the US for the loss of land and independence. An elderly woman is shot dead there, only a few feet from where Kimo’s mother and nephews are taking part in the demonstration, and Kimo and Ray take the case. At the same time, Kimo’s dealing with domestic difficulties, having just moved in with his partner, fire investigator Mike Riccardi. Since both are alpha males, the transition to shared living space isn’t easy, especially because Mike’s parents live next door. As Kimo and Mike struggle to adapt to living together, they begin to forge their own ohana—a Hawaiian term which means family, as well as community. The theme of ohana resonates through both Kimo’s personal life and his investigation of the murder as Kimo and Ray follow clues through a labyrinth of competing groups, uncovering a trail of gambling, money laundering, and mental illness. The title refers both to the blood spilled in three murders, as well as the blood ties that link native Hawaiians to each other. People come together in many ways here—through native heritage and family ties as well as love and fellowship. “Plakcy’s storytelling is tight, flawlessly executed, eminently interesting and inspiring.” George Seaton, Out in Print. “Neil S. Plakcy’s Mahu series is one of my favorites.” Melanie M, reviewer at Joyfully Jay. “To the mystery genre, Kimo Kanapa' aka is a refreshing tropical breeze.” Janie Franz, MyShelf Books in the Mahu series have reached the finalist stage for the Lambda Literary Awards as well as winning mystery fan awards and acclaim from mainstream publications such as Kirkus Reviews and Library Journal.

Book excerpt: A young man is drawn into the dark side of paradise in this "brilliantly atmospheric" (New York Times Book Review) and "refreshingly creepy" (Washington Post) mystery. A New York Times Notable Book of 2022 On a whim, Grady Kendall applies to work as a live-in caretaker for a luxury property in Hawaiʻi, as far from his small-town Maine life as he can imagine. Within days he's flying out to an estate on remote Hokuloa Road, where he quickly uncovers a dark side to the island’s idyllic reputation: it has long been a place where people vanish without a trace. When a young woman from his flight becomes the next to disappear, Grady is determined—and soon desperate—to figure out what's happened to Jessie, and to all those staring out of the island’s “missing" posters. But working with Raina, Jessie’s fiercely protective best friend, to uncover the truth is anything but easy, and with an inexplicable and sinister presence stalking his every step, Grady can only hope he'll find the answer before it's too late. Perfect for fans of Peter Heller and The White Lotus, and from award-winning writer Elizabeth Hand, a master of crime fiction known for her magnetic characters, seductive prose, and fearless excavations into the darkest corners of our world, comes a chilling and illuminating new novel about a place unlike any other—and the deadly cost of keeping it so. "Set in a Hawaii so vividly imagined I'm still shaking sand out of my shoes."—Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of The Final Girl Support Group “Twisty and dark . . . easily one of the best thrillers I've read.” —Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Upstairs “This is the perfect book for your summer beach bag—an evocative mystery set in a tropical island paradise.” —Jason Rekulak, author of Hidden Pictures
