Intriguing conversation about the benefits of being “nice” in the workplace and elsewhere. More about Kristin Tillquist from her website:

Kristin Tillquist, author, columnist, business entrepreneur, lecturer and inspirational speaker, makes her book debut with, Capitalizing on Kindness: Why 21st Century Professionals Need to Be Nice (The Career Press, November 2008). Kristin takes the stigma out of being “nice” in business and focuses on harnessing the power of kindness to simultaneously enrich society as well as achieve high levels of professional accomplishment.

In Capitalizing on Kindness, Kristin details why being nice in business is actually the smart and strategic way to operate. She draws from examples, scientific and sociological research that supports the theory that creating a positive atmosphere of goodwill in the workplace, building a network of supportive colleagues and employees, and establishing a caring reputation actually translates into plentiful dividends and satisfied customers!

“I learned fairly early on that investing in one’s ‘kindness capital,’ directly translates to one’s success in the workplace,” says Kristin. “The more you do to help others achieve their goals and objectives, the more you will attract them to cooperate on your behalf — and that translates into mutual benefits and financial success.”

For the book, Kristin draws from her rich professional background as a civil litigation attorney (formerly practicing in Vancouver, British Columbia), where she learned many protocol and mediation skills. Her education also propelled her to travel extensively worldwide, living for a time in Eastern Europe as well as Asia, where she learned the fine art of intercultural communication.

Interview with Marc Aronson | Sound Authors Radio

February 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Dr. Kent: Welcome back to Sound Authors! One of the key issues going on today right in the middle of the inauguration season is this awful, awful war in Gaza. It’s a place that I care about deeply; I’ve spent some time in the Middle East and done quite a bit of work there and it’s personally gripping for me and for anyone who has any sort of connection to that area. My next guest on the show Marc Aronson has written a book called Unsettled, it’s got a gorgeous cover which shows a picture of Jerusalem inverted with the blue sky on top and the dirt on the bottom. It’s a gorgeous book called Unsettled: The Problem of Loving Israel. Welcome to the show Marc Aronson.

Marc Aronson: Thanks for having me.

Dr. Kent: Let’s start off with the hard questions. What’s your take on what’s happening right now in Gaza?

Marc Aronson: My take is this. On the one hand, you cannot deny that Hamas is a provocation to Israel. Their purpose, their reason for existence as opposed to Fatas they say we do not accept the existence of Israel and we will fight to destroy it and they have acted on that, sending rockets, using the six month cease fire as a way to rearm and build up their military capacity. Once the cease fire ended they showed that they intended to use it. So I do not question Israel’s right as any state has a right to defend itself against a force that both rhetorically and actually seeks its destruction.

However, I think it is a very reasonable question and a question that I don’t know how to answer and many of the experts that I’ve read say the same thing as to whether strategically the military action of diminishing Hamas’ ability to shoot rockets, destroying as many tunnels as possible, weakening their place in Gaza, whether that goal, which it looks like Israel has largely achieved made Israel more secure by weakening Hamas or less secure by further enflaming forces such as such as those in the west bank that were calming down and becoming more willing to work out some kind of agreement.

Whether the radical fighting forces in other parts of the Middle East was worth the gain of diminishing Hamas’ military capacity. So my feeling about is from a human rights point of view it’s tragic to watch. from a political right point of view I don’t think you can question that Israel had a right to act but whether the actions they’ve taken will prove in the long run to have been the most or the best for enhancing their own national security is something on which I think the jury is well out and there can be a lot of question about.

Dr. Kent: In a book like Unsettled, which was actually written for young adults its interesting because mainstream books, novels, everything are usually written on a sixth to tenth grade reading level, which is similar to what you’re writing also. What makes a good young adult book?

Marc Aronson: That’s a great question. I think what makes a good young adult book is that you speak directly because teenagers are defining themselves as saying I’m not a kid anymore. I don’t need things sugarcoated, I know the world has darker sides, I know my own self has impulses I’m trying to deal with and so whether its fiction or nonfiction kids respond well to books that take them seriously and the term of phrase that’s most often used by teenagers is that feels real. And now we know teenagers also love fantasy, et cetera, there’s a whole discussion we could go into about that but as a standard term of phrase if you think of one, the classic young adult novel which of course wasn’t written for young adults, its Catcher in the Rye.

Its all about telling the truth, being real and so I think in nonfiction as I tried to do in unsettled is you can say look, Israel is a subject I personally, me, Marc Aronson thinks these things so I’m not going to write here as ask Mr. Science, a completely distant author with no stake in this. I have a stake in it, but having a stake in it, I also have conflicts about it. There are things about Israel that I find deeply disturbing. So I don’t need to, I’m saying to you teenager, I expect your intelligence enough to think with me as I go through these conflicts and these issues and I can tell you both when I’ve met with teenagers in schools and when they’ve written to me afterwards, they’ve been grateful to me for that.

They’ve been grateful, that right now in Gaza they’re being bombarded with messages, Israel is genocidal, its horrible, they should be put up on war crimes, Israel is great, its attacked, its vulnerable, and I’ll stand with it. Well that’s completely binary. Its saying you teenager must line up with one side or another and I don’t believe that. You teenager can think and I’m trying to help you have an opportunity to think.

Dr. Kent: And you’ve written a book many books in the past and one of your last books was called Race: A History beyond Black and White. Again, a very difficult topic for children. A book about Robert Kennedy, all of these are very, their not what I grew up reading. When I was eight, nine years old I was reading way above my level. I ended up either read children books or adult books, so I ended up reading books for adults.

Marc Aronson: And I think that’s what’s changed. Its changed in fiction in that there’s whether you like fantasy or whether you like chicklet or whatever it is that you like reading about; relationships or whatever, there’s a lot of young adult literature in fiction and some other writers are trying to do is do the same for nonfiction. To give you exactly the reader you were. Because I was the same thing. I went from reading kids books to reading The Rise and the Fall the Third Reich. There was nothing in between or if you were interested in philosophy you read Bertram Russell and that was great and it was wonderful, but I was stretching to try and understand that.

But there should be something in the middle, there should be something that takes you as seriously as an adult because your mind is developing that way but recognizes that you don’t necessarily have the background that an adult reader has. So that’s what we try to do in nonfiction. It was interesting, I read in your background that you have a classical music background so my eight year old son is taking piano lessons so last night I showed him a YouTube clip of Vladimir Horowitz playing a Chopin Ballad and I laughed as my son was saying that’s not possible. He said he’s not doing that, he said there must be something mechanical in the piano and I’m thinking no, I want him to know that it is possible.

Dr. Kent: Right and I remember when I was a child I remember thinking that also when I saw a musician, yep. Kids do have really complicated thoughts at younger ages now I think. They’re being exposed to the media, they’re being exposed to all these things, we have to really educate them about it.

Marc Aronson: I should tell you all week I’ve been interviewing on different posts online about my thoughts on Israel, Gaza, et cetera, and the response there are fascinating because you definitely see I think sort of three kinds of voices emerging right now about Israel. On the one hand there’s the voice of attack. Israel is demonic and terrible and horrible. You see exactly the reverse of that. Israel must defend itself; the rest of the world hates us. And then the beginning of what I hope I stood for in my book, which is to say I love Israel but that doesn’t mean that I like many Israelis cant question it.

I think the analogy to me that I said on the Jerusalem post online is that in the 60s in America, there were people who said that martin Luther King was unpatriotic, that he was communistic because he was questioning the rules in America. J. Edgar Hoover said that, but that was wrong. He wasn’t diminishing America, he was asking America to live up to its own ideals and I’ve tried to write a book for teenagers who I hope I encourage them in the book, go to Israel, see what they’ve built. It is a beautiful, beautiful country in every sense of the world. Physically beautiful, emotionally beautiful; beautiful in its depth and richness but bring when you go to Israel who you are.

You who’ve grown up in a multi ethnic and multi cultural society and discuss that perspective with Israelis and that third view, which I’ve really tried to bring to this book and which I do trust that teenagers are fully capable of entertaining. They may not agree with me; that’s fine but they can consider it.

Dr. Kent: It’s such a fascinating place to talk about. I studied the conflict when I was in university and visited Jerusalem and then I lived there for a year. I’m attached to people through an organization called Seeds of Peace but.

Marc Aronson: Oh I know Seeds of Peace very well.

Dr. Kent: Right so I know thousands of these kids from working with them and the one thing that I always saw was that the more they explore the more they read the more they expanded their horizons, the less they would hate other people and I think that really was something. Whatever this thing in Gaza is right now, it’s so frustrating because it might be stirring up a lot of hate, that’s what I’m worried about.

Marc Aronson: Right, and that’s the question I would ask. Now I think it’s a lot to ask of Israel to have said okay they wont do a cease fire, okay their shooting more rockets, but we’re going to let that go because we want to build a stronger link with moderate Arab. I think that is asking a tremendous amount of Israel to have done that but I think it’s possible to argue that that would have enhanced Israel’s security. I should mention to you and your listeners an organization that I think they should all get to know and you should get to know.

It’s called Sikkuy and while Seeds of Peace works to bring together young people from seemingly opposed backgrounds, Arabs and Jews or Hindus and Muslims or in Ireland the northern Irish and the Catholics, what Sikkuy does, it’s an Israeli organization run entirely by Israelis that works for the rights of Arab citizens within Israel. I think one thing I didn’t know until I wrote this book, perhaps you did, is that 20 percent of the citizenship of Israel, leaving aside the west bank, just regular Israel, are Arabs. What Sikkuy argues and really I was very moved by their and inspired by them is that for Israel to be strong, its Arab citizens must be full citizens.

Now they are legally, there’s no legal segregation or second class citizenship, but culturally many Israeli Jews do not accept that they live in a bicultural country. Sikkuy is arguing for that sensibility and to me they are some of the most heroic and most inspiring of the Israelis that I’ve met and to give you and your listeners a little bit of optimism amidst this misery in Gaza. ### is one of the most Arab villages in Israel, its sort of the center of the Arab sensibility within Israel so a very, very right wing Israeli Jewish organization decided to march to ###, which was sort of like when the Neo-Nazis wanted to march into Skokie because they knew there were so many holocaust survivors there.

The idea of this march was to provoke the Arabs so they would react and there would be TV images and the Arabs would look bad. Well 600 Israelis, most of them Jews came rushing to ### to show they didn’t want this to happen, they didn’t want this kind of provocation. The march was called off and that was on December 13. So just at this moment we’re headlines around the world are about this horrible death, destruction, misery and anger within Israel itself. We’ve seen this expression of humanity and understanding and depth, which I think is just so praiseworthy and that we should know about it. Again, the organization is Sikkuy, they have a website and they really speak for what I find as the best in Israel.

Dr. Kent: Israel is so interesting politically comparing them to the United States it’s so complicated and with immigrants from Russia, from the Arab world, the internal issues are so complex. I do know quite a bit about the Arab Israelis just from knowing people who are, and one of my closest students lets say, one of my Seeds of Peace charges was killed in 2000 and he’s an Arab-Israeli. His name was Asel Aslef.

Marc Aronson: Yeah, I knew about this. I did know. At one point I had approached them about doing a kids book about Seeds of Peace so I knew that story.

Dr. Kent: So this book is called Unsettled, the Problem of Loving Israel. Let’s get into that title. Unsettled is fascinating because obviously the real sticking point in a lot of these discussions is in settlement and ### from the right comes in and says we’re dismantling the Gaza settlement. What’s your take on the issue?

Marc Aronson: My take is that Israel has to get out of the west bank. Here’s the simple fact, if Israel stays in the west bank it is governing over a hostile population that doesn’t want it there and who lives there and that means Israel would be an occupier for ever, which is not only militarily dangerous and humanly dangerous to the Israelis, many Israelis talk about it and I talk about it in the book how it actually damages the soul of the nation. It forces the nation to become harder in a way that is a variance from the best that is Israel.

So my feeling is Israel has to get out, that the Palestinians need to have a state, very likely a couple of the settlements are too large and too established so there will be some accommodation for them and some compensation to the Palestinians for the loss of land there. The analogy I make is that if you can recall from American history, when we fought the Mexican war, which basically gave us the southwest and Texas and California et cetera, it inspired all kinds of hopes in America of manifest destiny. White Protestants are destined to control the continent, whatever, et cetera. But it also directly led to the civil war and inspired revulsion against that exact sensibility from people like Lincoln and Henry David Thoreau.

The west bank is the same in Israel. It inspired this idea this is a biblical land of Judah and Samaria, greater Israel, et cetera and it inspired deep revulsion from other Israelis and I think Israel would be severely, just Israel, forget about the rights of the Palestinians, Israel for its own safety and security and future has to give up the west bank. If you think about it, in the modern world, it’s not a few more miles that makes a country safe, in the age of rockets and perhaps nuclear rockets and missiles. Its peace. So my feeling is Israel must get out of the west bank and again with perhaps some accommodation for situations that is unfortunately developed so far that it’s the game isn’t worth the camel.

There’s a surveyor in the New York Times two months ago; 40 percent of the Jewish settlers in the west bank said they would take a buy out. It’s too hard; it’s too rough, so okay. So 60 percent are there ideologically but 40 percent just leave when you pay them. I feel like I think it is historically understandable why Israel conquered the territory during the 67 war, it makes sense, but they have to get out. Because the other alternative is if you make a greater Israel you deny the population. If you make a greater Israel in which Palestinians don’t have a regular vote, then you really have created an apartheid state.

Dr. Kent: When I was there I remember I had a professor, his name was Paul Lipps and in Jerusalem and his theory was that they should build a wall. I remember arguing with that theory. I had both Palestinian and Israeli teachers and I thought if you build a wall people are going to try and climb the wall or get through the wall. You can’t wall people in, it doesn’t work, we’ve proven that.

Marc Aronson: I think the physical wall that Israel has built from the strictly steel eyed security point of view has enhanced security. The question is whether again is a walled in sensibility, which I also think has grown it ultimately makes your country safer or less safe and again you were there, you know. It’s not fun to be in a country that is surrounded by people who really don’t like you. I think that is one must understand the sense of vulnerability. That’s true. But the thing that the Israelis pride themselves on which is this supple intelligence with which they deal with challenges.

Sometimes the supplely thing to do is challenge is to be more flexible. I didn’t know you had spent that time in Jerusalem. In the book I make use of the memoir written by the Palestinian philosopher ### and it’s a wonderful memoir. He went to Oxford and Harvard; he’s a philosopher who was a Jeffersonian. He’s someone I think any American whose gone to college recognize the professorial type, but he also was one of the leaders of the first ###. His memoir is just a very rich and fascinating read. One part of it was I was in Jerusalem in 68 and so was he, and his description to me it was this wondrous moment. You could go to the western wall and have this devastating. It was very mind opening for me to walk the same streets I had walked which is through his book.

Dr. Kent: That was a fascinating thing for me was to have I went through a program with Wesleyan University at the time and it doesn’t exist any more. We had professors from Palestine and professors from Israel and on the same day they’d teach us the same history lesson and one would talk about the day of independence and the other would be talking about the Nachba, the tragedy, the catastrophe.

Marc Aronson: It was interesting for me because I had to think through 48 in writing this book and here again you have the problem of kids getting binary history. The old way 48 was told, it was basically taken from Mexico. It was basically lucky heroic Jews, vicious demonic Nazi supporting Arabs who run off and plan to come back and destroy the Jews. That existed, the leader of the Arabs was a Nazi supporter, there were all of that was true. It was also true that emotionally many of the Jews fighting envisioned a state in which there would be no Arabs. And that resulted in massacres on the Jewish side.

The Jews inflicted on Arabs as well. Now it is Jewish scholars who exposed this and you have to admire that. There’s no similar investigation by Palestinian scholars but the story of 48 is the story like any war, which is a mixed story. I guess I feel like again, American kids, we’ve gotten used to seeing the dark strands in our history. It’s not unusual now to talk about efforts that were made to exterminate Indians or how Jeffrey Amherst used small pox blankets and slavery. All of that is in our curriculum so why if we’re used to a more three dimensional portrait of our own past, why not have a more three dimensional portrait of Israel’s past?

Dr. Kent: Absolutely.

Marc Aronson: Isn’t that respecting kids? So let me tell you the outcome of this. Kirkus Review Service called my book the book of the year, great, great, great. The Jewish library association condemned it. So here we are at the crosshairs of this, again this binary vision of how you talk about Israel.

Dr. Kent: It’s a fascinating topic; I could talk about it all day.

Marc Aronson: Well I know you must have other things to do but I would love to talk again sometime, I’d be fascinated to hear about your history and maybe we’ll get a chance to do this again.

Dr. Kent: Absolutely and Marc Aronson has not only written this book Unsettled: The Problem of Loving Israel, he’s also written Race: A history beyond black and white, he’s written a book about Robert Kennedy, The World Made New and many other books. If I had children I’d buy them all, so thank you so much for being on the show.

Marc Aronson: Come to my website marcaronson.com and see them all! Thank you so much for having me.

Dr. Kent: Thank you. The book is called Unsettled: The Problem of Loving Israel by Marc Aronson, visit his website at marcaronson.com. My next guest on the show is a musician, and she has a couple amazing songs that we’re going to play. Her name is Mae Moore, she is from Canada and she stands apart with her soulful songs. Come on back for that.

Interview with Mae Moore [20:24m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Great honor speaking with Mae Moore about her recording career, organic farming, and artwork! More about Mae Moore from her website:

Understandably, there will be those quick to include Mae Moore alongside such artists as Sarah McLaughlin, Joni Mitchell, and Diana Krall. Yet in many ways, the acclaimed Canadian singer/songwriter stands apart, with a musical vision that remains steadfastly her own. Mae’s soulful blend of rock, folk, and jazz carries a unique imprimatur, unencumbered by imitative links to others. That was true in the beginning of her career, and is true today.
Mapping the human heart has long been Mae Moore’s calling, and her many fans on both sides of the border prove she’s always been good at it. She got her start in the smoky folk clubs and coffeehouses of southern Ontario, later moving on to the thriving club scene of Vancouver, B.C. Her first big break as a songwriter came when she co-penned the lyrics to “Heaven In Your Eyes,” the 1985 hit for Loverboy from the “Top Gun” soundtrack.
A subsequent demo led to her first recording contract with CBS Records (later Epic/Sony) and her 1990 debut solo album Oceanview Motel. Released in Canada, the album spawned the hit single “I’ll Watch Over You.”
Juno nomination in 1991 - Most Promising Female Vocalist of the Year
From there, Mae left for Australia to record her follow-up album Bohemia (1992), the title track from which went on to Triple AAA and Modern Rock chart success in both Canada and the U.S.
Juno nomination in 1993 - Best Video for ‘Bohemia’ directed by Lynne Charlebois,
For her 1995 third album Dragonfly, Mae set up shop in her own home, recording the album in those comfortable confines. The single “Genuine” from that album led to a SOCAN Award for Most Played Radio Track. It was around then that Mae undertook the search for the daughter she’d given up for adoption many years earlier. In time, that search proved successful, and now she and her grown daughter are very close.

Mae turned in a 1999 self-titled Big Hip Records release, produced by Jann Arden, followed by a lovingly assembled retrospective album Mae Moore: Collected Works 1989-1999, released in 2000. It offered fans and critics a good look at her remarkable musical growth over the years. At the same time, Mae relocated again to British Columbia, to live in the quiet woods of Vancouver Island, not far from the capital city of Victoria.

To record ‘It’s A Funny World’, Mae once again felt there was no place like home. “It’s a wonderful atmosphere,” she says, “and far more personal.” Producer Joby Baker, a brilliant musician himself, took advantage of every conceivable instrument… including the kitchen floor! The songs for that album are, as Mae points out, “reflective of where I’d been in the years of living by myself. They’re about personal growth.” That growth was spurred by her artistic evolution. “I enjoy being a writer these days,” she says, “because I do have a lot of life experience and perspective. I always thought of myself as a songwriter first, setting a landscape for each song, seeing things the way a painter does.” A life long visual artist, Mae had her first solo show in the summer of 2007. Later that year she was awarded a SOCAN Classic Award for 100,000 radio plays for the song ‘Heaven in Your Eyes’, a song she co-wrote with John Dexter.

These days Mae sees greater need for the healing power of music. “More than ever we need to connect in community,” she says, “and not feel so isolated. Songwriters bring the world together. That’s also my mandate: helping people feel less alone. When she is not in the studio, Mae can be found alongside her husband Lester Quitzau, working their organic garden and heritage apple orchard, or tending their flock of motley , but much loved hens. Mae has gardened organically for 35 years and is most at peace when doing just that.

Marc Aronson | Gaza Unsettled

February 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Interview with Marc Aronson [27:04m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

What a timely discussion we had about Gaza and “The problem of loving Israel.” More about Marc Aronson’s new book from his website:

Marc Aronson’s mission is to inspire young people to ask questions, to look around, behind, inside of the stories the world tells us - whether that means being a detective, examining the clues history has left behind, or a reporter, telling the truth about the modern world.

A committed internationalist, Aronson has published two books that were selected as the best books in translation, and created Edge, an imprint designed to bring the voices of coming of age from around the world to American readers. It is his conviction that the mixing of genes, of ideas, of cultures, of networks of trade is the given of the world young people are entering. He is also a supporter of the Guys Read project who feels young males are often neglected by a reading world oriented towards females.

Aronson has a doctorate in American History - his focus was on William Crary Brownell, Edith Wharton’s editor, and he published conclusions as a lengthy essay in the New York Times Book Review. He periodically reviews books for the Los Angeles Times Books Review, and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, and publishes essays in journals devoted to reading and literature. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, the author Marina Budhos and their two sons.

The award-winning books he has written for those readers include Sir Walter Ralegh and the Quest for El Dorado (Clarion, 2000), the first book to win the Robert F. Sibert award for the best in nonfiction; Witch-Hunt: Mysteries of the Salem Witch Trials (Atheneum, 2003), a School Library Journal best book; Art Attack: A Short Cultural History of the Avant-Garde (Clarion, 1998), a New York Times Notable Book. His two books of essays for adults about teenage readers: Exploding the Myths: The Truth About Teenagers and Reading (Scarecrow, 2001), and Beyond the Pale; New Essays for a New Era (Scarecrow, 2003) have been praised as “required reading for anyone who cares about young adults and their literature” (School Library Journal).

Aronson’s book, John Winthrop, Oliver Cromwell and the Land of Promise (Clarion, 2004) continues the story of colonial America he began with Ralegh, and is the first book for young readers to show how the religious passions of the early Puritans can help us to understand the viewpoint of modern Islamic fundamentalists. His trilogy concludes with The Real Revolution, The Global Story of American Independence (Clarion 2005) an account of the run-up to the American Revolution viewed in a global perspective in which Robert Clive plays as large a role as George Washington, and events in London and India are as important as those in Boston and Virginia. He is currently working on the first global history of race prejudice written for younger readers.
