Spirituality in the Workplace: What it Is; Why it Matters; How to Make it Work for You
This book, which I co-authored with Dr. Satinder Dhiman and Dr. Richard King, focuses on the most important matters of working in today's continuously interdependent world. It reviews the prerequisites for enhancing the quality of life in the workplace; while it explains how this approach leads to a more effective and efficient way of getting the job done with an immediate positive impact on the bottom line. This book does away with the erroneous mindset that spiritual workplaces are religious ones. It is based on experiences gathered from a wide range of business leaders in various settings, who all provided their scope on workplace fulfillment for all stakeholders. The most important take-away from this book may be that it provides every reader with a new perspective on work, and how it rewarding, regardless of your position, qualities, background, or education.

Interbeing: Thoughts on Achieving Personal and Professional Excellence Toward Greater Mutuality
(ICFAI University Press, Hyderabad, India)

"Joan has injected a healthy dose of holism into the self-improvement genre. Her work is inclusive of all good intentions, gently prodding us to open our partisan vistas to see that they're only part of a much larger space--representative, even necessary--but just pieces, meaningless apart from the whole puzzle".

Seasoned Adages for Modern Day's Leaders: Lessons about Life Presented in 101 Old Sayings Inherited from Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Amazon Forest Indigenous.
This book presents age-old sayings from a small country in South America, Suriname, where Amer-Indians, Indonesians, Africans, Europeans, and Indians created a distinctive culture of diversity, mutuality, and acceptance.
Many of these sayings were developed in slavery time, when the oppressed groups wanted to communicate with each another without letting the Dutch masters know what their conversations were about.
In this book, the sayings will be explained as lessons for our daily life. Everyone who wants to expand their insights in life, and their knowledge on human nature can use them. These sayings are also important affirmations for leaders who want to enhance their emotional intelligence, in order to make more balanced and perceptive decisions.
