"The Soul Grows in Darkness" recounts a profoundly challenging life. Born nearly deaf, Loren lives in a rat-infested Chicago ghetto where he contends with poverty, family conflict, prejudice, drugs, and terrifying violence. Barely surviving this murky urban landscape, his struggles initiate a lifelong search for God and truth. Answers to his insatiable curiosity about life, death, and war are rare, but mysterious dreams and inner dialogues pose probing questions that guide his journey. He wonders whether his memories and dreams are only illusory. In adulthood, he turns to psychoanalysis to redeem his dark past and find meaning in his dreams. As a result, he becomes an analyst himself. Are memories, dreams, and the promptings of the unconscious only opiates of minds desperately coping with a hopelessly disordered world? Or, however unreliable, do they contain one's truth? "The Soul Grows in Darkness" is a hopeful and poignant search for self-understanding, love, and God. Its conclusion is astonishing. "Poignant, funny, tragic, and uplifting, Loren Pedersen's new book will be many things to many readers: compelling true-life story, inspirational and cautionary tale, psychological self-help manual, and a chronicle of the second half of the tumultuous twentieth century. Readers will be immensely entertained by the vivid story here of Dr. Pedersen's life, through which they will discover illumination of their own."

In his professional and personal life Bob, aka Robert D Weed, is deemed totally useless — or, perhaps, he is the smart one and everyone around him is terminally daft. Bob is a human weed who is tugged and pulled by a world that wants to uproot him but which discovers that he cannot be so easily tossed on the compost. “... it’s really witty and very strong ... I would compare the writing to Robert Rankin, or a really satirically biting Tom Sharpe, and will say […] that I’m really impressed by it.” — A London publisher “… Weed … is a tale that somehow manages to combine the frustrations of modern urban Mclife and blancmange abuse in the same story… a tale that is likely to feel sheepishly familiar yet feverishly alien… depending on your views about the uses of sticky puddings.” — Kyoto After Dark “Weed is a brilliantly written comedic novel while at the same time a harsh criticism of modern consumerist society. The lyrically attractive writing style spoke to me and does a good job of creating a vision of this fictitious yet very real world and company. It reminded me of Terry Gilliam’s movie Brazil ... If you, like the protagonist, sometimes find yourself drowning in the rat race for conformity and mediocrity, this book is for you.” — Amazon review “It’s so funny I weed myself. Geddit?” — The author made up this quote himself.

In 1982, Tom Peters and Bob Waterman put "A Bias for Action" at the top of their list of eight traits of successful companies in their groundbreaking book In Search of Excellence. Given the subsequent acceleration of change, "A Bias for Action" would doubtless top a similar list in 2012. Here's Peters' excellent (and beautifully designed) take for today.
