Take a look and if you see something you like, the books are all for sale below on this same page.





For Women: Need support to push through and achieve your dreams?  The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women: A Portable Mentor by Gail McMeekin offers a mix of practical strategies and stories of highly successful women to help you break through obstacles and make it to the next level by using your own creativity.  Here’s a book that offers a counter-intuitive concept: an organizer for more mindful living.  Using the approach in Jennifer Louden’s The Life Organizer: A Woman's Guide to a Mindful Year , you can transform your life experience from one of responding to all of the stimuli and demands of your busy life to one of directing your life from the needs and wants of your inner self.  Finally, the body, often overlooked, but never forgotten. Our Lady of Weight Loss: Miraculous and Motivational Musings from the Patron Saint of Permanent Fat Removal by Janice Taylor does not promise the secrets of losing weight and keeping it off, but instead offers a new perspective on your body and weight loss from a reformed yo-yo dieter.  There are projects, humor and the mantra of forgiving yourself.  You probably already have every diet book ever written, why not try a non-diet approach?



For Men:
Reducing stress is vitally important for health and even more for well-being. In his Don’t’ Sweat the Small Stuff for Men: Simple Ways to Minimize Stress in a Competitive World author Richard Carlson’s entry for men in his “Don’t Sweat…” series offers new ways of looking at the events in men’s lives that cause stress, and indeed, a new paradigm from which to view life itself.  Have a health question you might not even want to ask your doctor?  Try The Harvard Medical School Guide to Men’s Health: Lessons from the Harvard Men’s Health Studies by Harvey B. Simon.  In easy-to-understand language, Simon reviews the findings of the long-term HMS studies that have followed large groups of men for long periods of time. The nuggets culled offer a guide to optimizing one’s own health and avoiding or minimizing the diseases that are the main killers of men today.  Finally, noted author Gail Sheehy offers a guide to male mid-life and how to steer a course to your own fulfilling “second life” in her Understanding Men’s Passages: Discovering the New Map of Men’s Lives. Like her earlier works, Sheehy’s research includes in-depth interviews and analysis and offers men-on-men viewpoints on facing death, retirement, impotency, empty nest, and other mid-life challenges.
