Cyrus Webb reviews Demystifying Diversity

When it comes to the topic of diversity it can honestly go in so many directions. What I would say about Daralyse Lyons’ new book Demystifying Diversity: Embracing our Shared Humanity is that she strives to break it down to more than a US against THEM and see the why.

Through the interviews and her own personal observations we see how being singled out or labeled as impacted others. It also does something I wasn’t expecting. It turns the tables repeatedly on the reader, forcing us to ask what would we do or who would we be. In horrific events in history would be the one who was the oppressed or would we be the oppressor? Would we stand up for what is right or will be stay by? These questions are difficult but necessary if we are going to see things really move forward in a positive (and productive) way.

There’s another thing that Daralyse discusses in the book that is sure to step on some toes. I know it did mine. That being the words we use to categorize things, like being “good” for eating a salad or “bad” for not. The impact of what we say as well as what we do can impact the way people see themselves and feel about themselves.

Bottom line is we’re ALL a work in progress. This book challenges us to identify the work we ALL have to do and get about doing it.

Journey From Head to Heart is...

  • A Toolkit for those who are exhausted from solving neverending
    problems, working harder and harder and not
    arriving at the destination where they truly want to be.
  • A Map for how to make the journey from head to heart and
    then integrate the two so that the power of ego is diminished
    and the Authentic Self can emerge to live and work
    from the power of the human spirit.
  • A Reference book you can use for many years to come as
    the reader meets life's challenges with success that satisfies
    both the head and the heart.


    Journey from Head to Heart is exactly that, integrating logic, reason, emotion,
    spirituality, recovery, science, and ancient wisdom from a variety of sources to
    create a recipe for wholeness. The tools and processes are designed for people
    who are a little wary of "touchy-feely" or "New Age" approaches.

    Praise for Journey From Head to Heart


    "For beginners on a spiritual voyage, as well as for experienced travelers,
    Journey From Head To Heart is very powerful. I couldn't put it down. Its stories,
    told with clarity and simplicity, make it a treasure."

    --Dr. Linda O'Neal, Executive Director, Southwest Education Alliance


    "This book is for people struggling with work/life balance, for entrepreneurs,
    for those seeking their authentic purpose in life and work. It lays out a plan to
    get ego out of the way, lead with humility, and communicate so that others are
    attracted to your cause."

    --Dick Moeller, President St. David's Community Health Foundation


    "What separates this book from the majority of self-help manuals is the
    author's awareness that many people in today's world neglect to acknowledge
    the importance of personal faith and spirituality in the growth process, and in
    turn, are unable to integrate their actions with their beliefs."

    --Lisa Heidle, Rebecca's Reads
