In a time when everything is possible, while at the same time everything seems to be spinning out of our control, it’s never been so challenging and critical for humans to stop and breathe . . . check their inner pulse and breathe . . . breathing revitalizes us, calms us, shifts our focus inward and therein lies our wisdom.
And we are in need of wisdom in every category of our lives. If you’ve ever wondered what your life ‘could’ be like if you had wisdom to navigate by . . . then I offer you a master guide—Joan C. King—and her roadmap—a process to understand the complex within the very cells of our bodies. Joan would echo her enthusiasm with: “Say yes to the journey! It’s your life!”
I’ve had both the privilege and the honor to study this journey of cellular wisdom with author Joan C. King through the development and publication of her Cellular Wisdom series of books. I’ve come to know Joan as a woman who defies stereotypical categories one would expect from a woman so accomplished. I simply define Joan as living her life from a platform of “Yes.” She embraces life with passion, compassion, and service to others in evoking their own greatness. I have witnessed this from the first day I met her. Joan is truly an extraordinary woman, a woman I am blessed to call my friend.
So, please join me in celebrating and saying ‘yes’ to life with our Featured Author: Joan C. King, Ph.D. —Toni Holm-Tice, Publisher
"As a neuroscientist and author, I write the cellular wisdom series of books, not as a declaration of dogma, but rather a vehicle to share insights, a process modeled in our cells and our bodies. This study of cells expanded my awareness in a deeper search: the meaning of my life’s purpose. I offer this series in the hope that you gain wisdom in learning how to thrive in your life as an individual and in relationships: from intimate to corporate to community to planetary. My books are intended to stimulate readers to explore and uncover their own insights."
–Joan C. King
Pub Date: Spring 2011- BUSINESS WISDOM AT WORK: A Life on Purpose (ISBN: 978-0-9785393-7-5)
BUSINESS WISDOM AT WORK: A Life on Purpose examines not just new business models, but also new ways of perceiving business. Author, Dr. Joan C. King, simplifies the complexities of business by guiding the reader through an understanding of how the body simplifies complex systems to run efficiently, cooperatively, and harmoniously. The reader applies these understandings, that like the body, a business also has cellular wisdom, to create unique paradigms organic to their business models. Joan clarifies primary operative scientific principles, gives examples of those principles in action, in business and guides the reader through exercises to hone their objectives, values, and practices to succeed in business.
The Cellular Wisdom series of books offer the reader an innovative guide to self-awareness based on nearly five decades of scientific research and spiritual study by author and teacher Dr. Joan C. King. The Cellular Wisdom series delivers this much needed time out for thousands of individuals around the world. A former professor & department chair at Tufts University School of Medicine for twenty years and Dominican nun for nearly a decade, King uncovered Cellular Wisdom during a year-long sabbatical that allowed her to reclaim her life and create a template for generations to follow.
“As I was writing my first book (over a year and a half period) I began to view the body and its systems from a completely different perspective—as an inner teacher of how to live. Exploring who I was, underneath everything external, allowed me to touch and come to know an inner truth, bigger than anything I had ever known before. That’s when my knowing began to reveal a whole new kind of work for me.”
According to King her topics are as varied as the category of our lives: work, relationships, recreation, and devotional practices. Her books are interactive and help to guide women and men along a pathway of learnable skills, linking the science of the body with the personal exploration of a human’s interior knowing. Through stories, contemplations, and exercises, King gently draws the reader in deeper, toward exploration and self-discovery. Using teachings extracted from an understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of how our body models our very beliefs, the Cellular Wisdom series takes the reader on a comprehensive journey toward the authentic, essential self.
Kings own life was changed in an instant and forever with the sudden death of her father. She was just ten years old when he died. This great loss set her on a collision course to become a nonstop achiever. Decades later she realized that her drive for success masked the loss of her dad. In pursuit of the next big achievement, she had completely lost her self. This ultimately drove King to integrate her scientific background and knowledge of cells with her commitment to reclaim her own life, then to provide the same to others via her books and seminars in her expanded awareness she coined as Cellular Wisdom.
Fascinated by science, King studied to become a Chemist and later received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience & Psychology from Tulane University. The world of academia loved King and she thrived in the university setting, first as a student and later as a professor, a researcher, and eventually a department chair at Tufts University School of Medicine. What many people would consider a dream career, proved to be a trap for King—keeping her from her true calling.
For author and visionary Dr. Joan C. King, the path to her purpose in life has been filled with more accomplishments than most people would realize in several lifetimes. Yet, it was a year-long sabbatical during her highly successful academic career that allowed her to stop, examine, and reconstruct her entire life’s calling. This time out for King, the first real break she’d taken since childhood, was key to her discovery of Cellular Wisdom and the beginning work on her series of books, which have already deeply impacted thousands of people around the world.
