The Little Book on Meaning: Why We Crave It, How We Create It
By Laura Berman Fortgang
"So what is this mysterious thing calling Meaning?" In her newest book, The Little Book on Meaning: Why We Crave It, How We Create It, Fortgang writes, "It's something we humans all want . . . Meaning is something we feel more than something we do. Meaning is a state of consciousness. It comes tumbling forth from connection-to ourselves, each other, the earth, spirit, work, or even an inanimate object. A necklace is not meaningful in itself, but when we connect with the time, place, and person who gave it to us, it takes on a new specialness. It takes on meaning. It enters our consciousness as something precious we will take care with."

5-Star Baby Name Advisor
by Bruce Lansky
The 5-Star Baby Name Advisor is not like the typical dictionary-style baby name book. You won't find 100,000+ plus names with a brief meaning. Instead, you'll find 1750 of the most popular names that are actually rated based on six factors: first impression, gender association, popularity and trend, spelling, pronunciation and versatility. In true Baby Name Guru Bruce Lansky form, StorkNet gives the 5-Star Baby Name Advisor two thumbs up!
