Have you ever thought of how you would react or what you would do if you and your loved one were faced with a catastrophic, incurable illness? This journal of a descent into Alzheimer's disease is a road map for those who are facing such shattering news. Dr. Robert Page, author of "Citizen at Large: Speaking Freely and Other Rights of Passage in the Age of Clinton," (National Archives) has crafted a ground-breaking memoir portraying in real time the impact of his mother's dementia diagnosis and the caregiving journey that followed. The account reveals how he helped her to navigate the turbulent course of this bewildering disease. It includes actual transcripts of recorded conversations Dr. Page carries on with his mother throughout her decline. These varied dialogues make their experiences immediate and absorbing. Witness how this practicing psychologist and loving son introduces a vast array of issues and situations encountered by every dementia patient and caregiver and how he connects with his mother to meet the challenges at each stage in the progression of the disease. Learn how he uses his skills and experience communicating with his patients to preserve his relationship with a feisty, witty mother who fights hard to maintain her indomitable spirit. In the process, mother and son become victors over the disease, not just helpless victims of it. Renew your faith in the healing power of humor, persistence, affirmation, acceptance and physical touch. Alzheimer's disease does not have to be a calamity one simply survives but instead is an opportunity for transformation and renewal. Learn helpful and practical ideas on how to talk to and to aid the Alzheimer's patient on their difficult path. You will see how this skilled psychologist sticks with and engages his mother for the duration of the disease and, in the process, how he becomes more fortified in waging this physically and emotionally strenuous battle. You will come away from this tragic but life-affirming journey with renewed hope and a deeper inspiration to defy and conquer the monster you might one day have to confront yourself.

"I came out of service with my health shattered. I had no "job skills" had I been able to work... I only knew how to 'soldier.' There was no demand for my services. A VA doctor told me to go home and 'shoot myself' as a relief to my government. Perhaps I should have." ---From a letter to Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher, 2001, just months before Eddie, WWII hero, Prisoner of War, valiant soldier, passed away. A plain-put Shakespeare of the common man, who took on monumental human situations with the sword of his words and the shield of his simple typewriter, Eddie fought the Veterans Administration for seventeen years before he received his full VA benefits. SOMETHING FROM EDDIE does not aim to define the life of the trailblazing American veteran, Eddie Livingston. It simply provides insight into the life of someone who fought for the freedom of all Americans in war, Veterans Affairs, politics and Civil Rights throughout his lifetime. Lacking healthcare coverage, delays in payments (17 years) and deficient diagnosises are only the beginning of Eddie's 20-year struggle with the VA and his endless correspondences with local and national politicians---including the President of the United States---to right the wrongs of the VA system, some that plague US soldiers still today. Eddie Livingston once described himself as being born "Poor white trash from Alabama." He was a private in the airborne infantry of the United States Army during World War II; he fought in multiple combat campaigns, even volunteering to parachute jump during the D-Day invasion at Normandy. He was captured, interred, and beaten in Nazi POW camps, and received multiple, life-long wounds that were both physical and emotional. Through his own pain and suffering, Eddie continued the march with his typewriter---tirelessly authoring letters to the Veterans Administration, congressmen, and even presidents of the United States, concerned about the plight of veteran care issues, post-traumatic stress disorder (called "shell shock" back then), civil rights, politics, equality for humankind, and peace. His words are all that is left of this valiant warrior, but there was so much power injected in them for others to share, indeed, for history to hold and nourish future generations of people--all of the world's people.--Jim Hodges

Make this a Great Year! This is your life; make the most of it. This book will show you what to do to take the control of your mind and your life. "Failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day." - Jim Rohn It's the small things that you do that create habits which can change the course of your life. Ideas in personal development are of limited value unless you act on them. This book is about taking six key personal growth areas and experimenting with them in your life. The experiments are written in such a way to make them actionable so that you can put them to the test and observe the results yourself. The information contained here is designed to be short and easily digestible. If you read this book and take action by trying out the experiments in your own life and reflect on the results, then you will gain knowledge that can change your life for the better. "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." - Robert Collier Thomas Carroll used many of the strategies in this book to achieve the challenging goal of obtaining a PhD, which he wrote about in his previous book, Monkey On My Back; Personal Reflections on Doing a PhD. He later achieved his goal of becoming a Life Coach and Hypnotherapist by adhering to the simple experiments taught in this book. He has helped to guide many on the path to self-achievement. He has found that when you take risks and launch yourself into the unknown in pursuit of a bigger vision of yourself, opportunities come to you unexpectedly. "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." - Bronnie Ware, Top Five Regrets of the Dying

This is a book that is a culmination of my twenty years of experience working on the front lines of eating disorders' treatment and recovery.

This is a powerful and positive story about a quest for a change in life and the extraordinary possibilities of the human spirit. "Before I wrote this book, I was diagnosed as MORBIDLY OBESE by my primary-care physician following a yearly visit. The only problem with this diagnosis was that we never discussed this issue. I knew that I was overweight, but it wasn't until I witched doctors and picked up my medical records that I saw this in writing. I saw myself in front of the mirror every day, so I knew things were bad, but it wasn't until I read those words, MORBIDLY OBESE, that the gravity of the situation sunk in." -LAURA SINCLAIR At 55, Laura Sinclair was grossly overweight; the future looked dim and dangerous. Carrying extra weight was setting her up for the possibility of developing a chronic illness--heart disease, stroke, or worse. She decided to take ownership of her life and pave a new road to optimum health and happiness. -Learn how Laura lost over 40% of her body weight and kept it off. -How she reached a level of fitness and athleticism that she thought not possible in her 50s and beyond.

You will be a different person by the time you finish this book. During Jesus' short life, He often spoke in parables and performed miracles, the meaning of which many throughout history have not understood. To some, the Gospels may be interesting stories at best and myths at worst, and many derive no benefit from them for they only see outwardly-in the natural world-and have no spiritual discernment. Within this book, you will learn a great deal of the mysteries and of the hidden meanings in the miracles of Jesus, and of the truths taught to us by each miracle. COMMENTS FROM MARY EMRY'S READERS: "What a beautiful picture you paint of Christ. Now I see things in Scripture that I never saw before." "I really thought I was well acquainted with Christ, but after reading your book, I can say loud and clear like Mary must have to the disciples, 'I have seen the Lord!'" "I realize now that I had never taken the time to understand specific definitions of major words in the Bible. If you had asked me before I read your book to define grace, faith, peace, obedience and a host of other key words, I would have stumbled around with vague meanings. Not anymore! It is all wonderfully clear to me now-thank you!' Each chapter in this book is a cogent explanation of a miracle performed by Jesus. Each nuance in the story is explored. The people, the settings, the elements in the story all convey amazing meanings and truths that perhaps you have never seen before.

Believe the Unbelievable; Do the Undoable; Achieve the Unachievable. If any of you are like me (and I suspect you are), you probably spend a lot of time thinking about things that you want to change in your life. In the beginning of the year, we make resolutions that are often hard to commit to throughout the year. I decided to write my resolutions on a daily basis in 2013, and that's when my life started to get more interesting. I came to the conclusion that in order to make progress in life, you might have to do some unconventional things and believe in the ridiculous. It has definitely worked for me. All of the things that are written in this book are about the way I think, which is a result of my value systems, upbringing, experiences, and interactions with people and circumstances. When you read it, you'll probably find something that reminds you of yourself and other people as well. I hope that they will make you smile, laugh, ponder, and reflect in the same manner that they did for me. Put it on your coffee table; read and re-read it. Share it with others. -ANDRE DIXON

In mystery novels, private investigators search for clues that will help send the bad guy to jail. As a criminal defense investigator, Kelly Luker did the opposite: she tried to keep the suspects out of jail, gathering evidence that might free them or at least reduce the repercussions for those accused of everything from vandalism and drunk driving to kidnapping, child molestation, and murder. Unlike those who could afford expensive lawyers, her clients were the poor and homeless, represented by court-appointed attorneys. Private Eye for the Bad Guy: My Short, Brutal Career as a Criminal Defense Investigator explores some of the cases Kelly investigated, some entertaining, some grim, but all of them enlightening. She also shares her moral ambiguity, particularly when her clients' lives too closely mirrored her own troubled past. Private Eye for the Bad Guy transcends the typical detective genre. It is a powerful reminder that even the most reviled in our justice system deserve a vigorous defense. Kelly shows how it's done, and ultimately, the cost and benefit for all involved. Kelly Luker is a licensed private investigator who lives in Northern California.
