Thousands of people across the globe sit in offices and homes on a
daily basis and feel completely bored, frustrated and stuck. They
desperately wonder why they have zero excitement for their life
journey and what they could do for this to really change. Have a
Life Attack provides some simple and practical suggestions for you
to use on your journey of discovering true life passion and
purpose. Arising from a near-death experience, Have a Life Attack
uses Sean's twenty-year experience as a reluctant pharmacist-along
with valuable lessons learned from embarking on his own Life Attack
journey-to encourage you on a similar path of challenging the
status quo of your work, love and laugh lives. Have a Life Attack
incorporates inspiring stories and insights from friends,
professionals, and mentors who have encouraged Sean along the way.
"Have I really lived, have I really loved, and have I really
laughed in life?" If your answer to this question leans in any way
toward no, then Have a Life Attack is tailor-made for you.
"As you journey through these pages, if you have ever struggled
with addiction in any capacity either as an addict or through a
relationship, you will know that the author has walked in your
shoes. This is a sincerely personal and honest sharing of the
addict's world with the reader's journey consistently benefiting
from scriptural support." -Tom Caldwell, PhD
"This is one of the most valuable books written on recovery. It
was not birthed in a clinic by a team of doctors. This is a
compilation straight from the heart of a former addict who has
experienced the personal struggles of the fight to freedom. After
reading this book, every addict and those close to an addict can
know that victory is possible. As a personal devotional or as a
guideline for group study, this book will help you secure hope for
a bright and better future." -Robert, a former addict loved by
Jesus
"Is this book only useful to addicts? I definitely doubt that.
We all fall short of the glory of God. We need to be humble and
repentant. To different degrees and in different ways, we all
struggle. This is good reading for everyone." -Franz Eitel, PhD
An exciting new science-driven guide to protecting your mind from
decline. 'Fascinating' Daily Mail Throughout our lives, we are
always looking for ways to keep our mind sharp and effortlessly
productive. In this book, globetrotting neurosurgeon Dr Sanjay
Gupta offers insights from top scientists all over the world, whose

who are in their eighties and nineties but showing no signs of
slowing down - and whether there are truly any benefits to drugs,
supplements and vitamins. Dr Gupta also addresses brain disease,
particularly Alzheimer's, answers all your questions about signs
and symptoms, and shows you both how to ward against it and how to
care for a partner in cognitive decline. The book also provides
readers with a personalized twelve-week programme featuring

Clear, concise, prescriptive steps for improving memory loss and
keeping the brain young -- from one of the world's top memory
experts. Everybody forgets things sometimes -- from your keys to
your lunch date to the name of an acquaintance. According to Dr.
Gary Small, the director of the UCLA Center on Aging, much of this
forgetfulness can be eliminated easily through his innovative
memory exercises and brain fitness program -- now available for the
first time in a book. Using Small's recent scientific discoveries,
The Memory Bible can immediately improve your mental performance.
One of the ten commandments that Dr. Small has pioneered to improve
your memory immediately is LOOK, SNAP, CONNECT: 1: LOOK: actively
observe what you want to learn
2: SNAP: create a vivid snapshot and memorable image
3: CONNECT: visualize a link to associate images In addition, Dr.
Small's comprehensive program includes a "brain diet" of
memory-enhancing foods and a list of the most effective drugs, as
well as a workbook with a weekly and daily calendar. Remember, as
Dr. Small says, "Great memories are not born, they are made."

One of the most important aspects of a comprehensive education
involves teaching students to analyze arguments and form their own
opinions based on available information. Visual and graphical
mapping strategies are useful in helping students to consider
problems from a variety of perspectives. Cases on Teaching Critical
Thinking through Visual Representation Strategies brings together
research from scholars and professionals in the field of education
to provide new insights into the use of visual aids for student
development in reasoning and critical thinking. This essential
reference source will enable academics, researchers, and
practitioners in fields such as education, business, and technology
to more effectively foster students critical thinking skills."
Memory isn't a gift, it's a muscle to be stretched. Almost seven
years ago, Scott Hagwood heard the dreaded news-he had thyroid
cancer. But he defied the memory loss that usually accompanies
radiation treatment. With research, determination, and the
development of strategic exercises, Hagwood was able to work his
memory like a muscle, strengthening it and eventually becoming the
only American Grand Master of Memory. Scott learned that the brain
changes physically as memory skills improve; his astonishing
transformation from mediocre student to international memory
champion led Wake Forest Medical Center to perform tests on him.
From remembering names to training the mind to juggle multiple bits
of information at the same time-thus improving practical and
creative ability-Scott cracked the code that can unleash the inner
genius within us all. In Memory Power he explains how to boost the
power to remember faces, numbers, and text using a simple,
step-by-step procedure based on techniques of sight, sound, smell,
color, conversation, face recognition, and more. With the same
engaging style he used to demonstrate his strategies in America on
CBS's The Early Show, ABC's Good Morning America, and myriad
others, Scott Hagwood will help readers everywhere develop their
memory skills and never forget a name again!
