Bruce Johnson, the author, is a heart attack survivor and he wants
to get the word out. While much has been written about the medical
side of heart attacks, little has been written about the emotional
and human side of heart attacks and cardiovascular disease.
It really doesn't matter what sparks the sudden Coronary
Thrombosis (MI), the medical term for a heart attack. This disease
is an equal opportunity killer. Men, women, young, old, rich, poor,
famous and people who aren't known outside of their families and
workplaces Dead is dead and by most accounts the one million people
who will have heart attacks this year might have been spared had
they made a few lifestyle changes. That's what the country's
cardiologists are begging for today.
The author interviewed dozens of candidates but he wanted a
diverse group of heart attack survivors who represented a cross
section of America. He found them and in some cases, they heard
about his project and found him. These are their stories of
regaining life after a heart attack

my problem. I needed for someone to rescue me Not realizing I had
the answer and the power inside of me. I established a relationship

-"Quisqueyanos sono ya la hora De vengar tantos siglos de ultraje;
El que a Dios y a su patria desdora, Que de oprobio y baldon se
amortaje. No mas cruz que la cruz quisqueyana, Que da honor y
placer el llevarla; Pero el vil que prefiera la hispana, Que se
vaya al sepulcro a ostentarla."
Having financial difficulties? Afflicted with chronic stage fright?
Suffering from a bad memory? Perhaps your difficulties are due to a
lack of mental discipline. If so, this is the book you've been
seeking. Filled with practical advice and exercises that will
improve your mind control, L.W. de Laurence's The Master Key, first
published in 1914, unlocks the door to the mysteries they tried to
keep secret from you for centuries. Learn how concentrated thought
will "unfold (your) individuality to the full."American writer and
publisher LAURON WILLIAM DE LAURENCE (1868-1936) was a prolific
author of works on spiritualism and the occult. His other works
include The Great Book of Hindu Magic (1904), The Mystic Test Book
of the Hindu Occult Chambers (1909) and Clairvoyance, Thought
Transference, Auto Trance, and Spiritualism (1916).
You can find your balance and the keys to success and enlightenment
by implementing a plan of mind, body and spirit. Through the
mastery of virtues we are ultimately able to master ourselves. This
book provides a powerful framework that will liberate you to all
the possibilities and magic in the world. "Dead Presidents," is
ghetto-parlance for money. Benjamin Franklin is the only
non-president to grace American paper currency. His face, on the
highly prized $100, spawned the phrase, "All about the Benjamin's."
As one of the first millionaires in American history, he felt
establishing a virtuous life was the key to great success. He also
knew that money was a tool; a sharp one. This is a guide to take
hold of those virtues and shape the course of your life. Franklin,
in his great genius, focused on 13 virtues. He would work each of
those virtues for seven days. He would go through the cycle four
times a year, starting anew every 13 weeks. The coded-cycles help
make our dreams come true. Benjamin Franklin's contributions
continue to have a huge impact on our world. It is time to return
back to wholeness, prosperity and goodness. It is our duty. When we
start to focus on living more virtuous lifestyles, the hope for our
lives and humanity grows greatly. When we chart our course, we move
with power and love. Capt. Brad Borden, USA (Ret.)
How can a person have positive, productive days, which sometimes
become weeks, and then without warning, experience negative,
unproductive days which sometimes become weeks or longer? Is it
just the ebb and flow of life, or is it based on our choices and
decisions? Life is meant to be lived to its fullest, which is an
option for all rational individuals. "A Spirit Never Tires" is
based on the idea that when you are connected to your spirit, your
choices and decisions are flowing and help you manifest the life
you desire.
There are no born winners and no born losers, only born
choosers. Once a person realizes that at every moment in time they
have choices to change the direction of their life, then their life
will change. Listed below are a few of the topics addressed in "A
Spirit Never Tires":
Knowing the real you Choosing the life you want to live Increasing
your belief and confidence Goal setting to achieve your dreams
Understanding the impact of your words Eliminating negative
self-talk and thoughts Creating a peaceful mind
"A Spirit Never Tires" is based on the belief that the human
spirit never tires of providing multiple options and the best
choices to a connected individual. This is your opportunity to jump
on the train and awaken your untapped powers so the entire world
can see the true and authentic you
Rewiring the Brain is not just another book on stress. It explores
a daring and innovative path to accessing the power of
consciousness as a more effective and lasting solution to tackle
stress and emotional afflictions. The present remedies, such as
drills of positive thinking and self-hypnosis through beliefs,
accrue only temporary solace and euphoria that wear off sooner than
expected. Also our reasoning power is not able to rein in the
unyielding force of negative emotions that fuel stress and
depression. Hence, this book pursues a new approach. It outlines
also certain ways that slow down aging process and enhance memory,
attention span, and emotional equilibrium. The book is a
fascinating journey to the inner world of self-its constructs of
emotions, thoughts, and memories-to discover why one behaves the
way one does. We go through myriads of joys and sorrows in the long
course of life, but hardly have the patience to pause and ponder
over the reasons that make them. Does it matter? Yes, much more
than perhaps one realizes. Stress should not be seen as an isolated
issue. It betrays the quality of individual self in its ceaseless
action of living. We have one and only life-the most precious thing
we happen to possess, and it is but natural that we struggle hard
to do our utmost to make it a wonderful experience. Stress, in its
overt or covert forms, works as a persistent factor that undermines
the spontaneity, joy, and beauty of life. In this competitive and
complex world, one faces countless factors of stress that are
unavoidable and immutable, including illness, accident, or death.
There are some other factors that can be altered through efforts,
which play a more decisive role in life. These are individual
attitude, mental tendencies, and ways one interacts with external
world. There is much truth in the saying "Life is 10 percent what
happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it." An objective
understanding of these individual factors means that half the
battle of tackling stress is won. Hence, the book seeks to help the
reader face and understand the workings of inner self and its
intricacies without resorting to psychological escape or
suppression. Yet an objective understanding is only the first step.
It does not resolutely change our mental habits and conditionings
that are hardwired in the brain. This suggests the need to go
beyond the remedies prevalent now and look for fundamentally new
solutions. In such effort, this book explores the possibility of
using the power of consciousness to rewire the brain and tackle
stress. The book has a refreshingly open-minded approach, devoid of
religious ideologies or mystical beliefs, and does not involve
psychological escapes. The practical methods and benefits are
outlined in a scientific spirit and correlated with research by
neuroscientists, psychologists, and medical institutes. The book
does not offer shortcuts or peripheral solutions, because none
exists. Neither does it offer self-hypnosis and gratifying beliefs
that are concealed in prescriptive actions and mental drills.
Thomas More's classic of political philosophy depicts an island
society where all residents lives in harmony with one another.
Published in 1516, Utopia sees Sir Thomas More advances many tenets
of what he views to be a perfect society. His use of the word
'utopia' as the name of the harmonious island nation he writes
about entered the popular vernacular, and is now used to describe
any society where life is perfect for all of its inhabitants. More
describes the social customs, means of transport, a lack of private
property, trust between residents who do not lock their doors, a
simple spartan lifestyle free of ostentation, a welfare state, free
health care, a priesthood permitted to marry, and gender equality
when it comes to matters of work. Those who commit crime are
sentenced to slavery, with slaves also imported to carry out
domestic duties in Utopia's households.
