Zen and the Way of Making a Difference
Master the principle that lets you live your most significant life, from reshaping relationships to realizing large-scale change. That principle is resonance and this book is your guide.
Ended
We live in a time of great noise, disruption and dysfunction, where it can be hard to be heard or know how to make a difference. But what if there were one principle underlying all change, turning dreams into reality, making your efforts add up, and supporting you in living your most significant life? And what if you owned a magnificent instrument that could master it? Well, that principle is resonance, and your own mind-body is exactly the resonator you can tune, tame and integrate to master it. This book shows you how. It answers 3 questions:
-How it is that resonance does everything
-How you can become a more resonant being
-How you can use resonance to make a difference
From particle physics to brainwave coherence, you’ll learn how all things happen through resonance, including the sudden shifts that mark peak experiences, a team in flow, or radical social change. You’ll learn Zen practices that help you cultivate the energy running through you and resonate more fully with the energies around you. And you’ll learn how you can apply your more resonant self to realize your goals and dreams in love and relationships, leadership and work, and even large-scale social change. From close-in relationships to mega projects, how you resonate is how you make your difference. Resonate shows the Way to making your greatest difference.
This book is for people who live and lead on purpose, who want to make a positive difference, supported by resilience and imbued with joy.
“Whitelaw Roshi is a scientist at heart. She likes her Zen to be palpable and practical. So when she talks resonance, she doesn’t open her mouth unless she is already resonating with all that surrounds her. You either feel it, and the lesson sinks in. Or you don’t feel it, and go back to the zazen cushion until you do.” –Gordon Greene Roshi, Spring Green Dojo
“In her latest groundbreaking book, Dr. Ginny Whitelaw explains the science of energy in terms we can all understand, and then shows us how to use resonance to improve the energy of our marriages, our workplaces, and even - if you’re fearless - the world. Dear Change Agents, this is your book.”
–Rebecca Ryan, CEO, Futurist and Economist, author of ReGENERATION
(feedback on excerpt from Resonate)
“Thank you for letting this come through you! It so resonates (if you will) with my experience and I am already sharing it far and wide. Your ability to turn kinesthetic knowing into words that can reach people blows me away.” –Kim Freichs, Red Frog Coaching

Cranthorpe Millner operates a hybrid publishing model. This means, should an author pass our editors’ strict filtering system, we can offer different kinds of agreements depending on the author and the manuscript. With some authors, we work under a ‘traditional’ model, whereby we cover the full cost of publication and the author is offered industry-standard royalties (8-10%). To some authors, we offer what we call a partnership or contributory agreement, whereby the author is asked for a financial contribution so that we may share the risk and enter into a partnership together to publish the author’s book. In this case, the author receives around 60-75% royalties.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
How can we serve you today?
Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
