Hi All,
If someone can get
"Pigs Eat Wolves; Going into partnership with your dark side"
by
Charles Bates
ISBN 0-936663-04-9
there are a few pages missing, but aside from that, it is a good clean scan.
If not, it's headed towards the trash pile.
I'd have to say that I'm ambivalent about it, as
it is a short book, so the missing pages are
important, and it really isn't where my interest lie.
I do think however, that it may be of interest to
other Bookshare members, so I'll include some
info below to give an idea of the subject matter
in an attempt to spur someone's interest.

?Charles Bates lights a fire under an old warning
tale for little children, challenging our
comfortable perceptions. He shows that the sweet
pigs, their well-meaning mother, and the cunning
wolfas well as the objects and settings of the
story contain a complex, psychologically true
account of a process we desperately need to
understand. Issues of initiation, maturation, and
the assimilation of evil addressed in this story
crop up on every curve of our planet. Here is a
quick, graspable, and illuminating tool for
handling the presence of darkness we fear.?

?I was stunned the first time I heard Charles?
rendering of the fairy tale. The words still
inform my teaching of leadership. I?m convinced
that storytelling of this sort is necessary to
understand and face our fears as we seek courage
to know and act authentically.?

?Pigs Eat Wolves is an intriguing display of the
major issue in psychological and spiritual
developmentthe interplay between what is
conventionally labeled as good and evil. Bates
illustrates the connection between one?s thinking
or consciousness and action in the path toward
self-mastery. This book is a must for those who
seek more discernment as leaders or agents of
change. It is a great ?think piece? challenging
the reader to go beyond a surface understanding
of human nature, differences, and the process of change.?
