“A kind, gentle, and nurturing guide to personal growth . . . focusing on the key elements that will lead you to greater peace and inner happiness.” —Dr. Sheri A. Rosenthal, author of Banish Mind Spam! Software and technological entrepreneur Huie, who came to a search for deeper meaning later in life, has teamed up with artist and writer, Radmacher, who came to it earlier through her art. Point and counterpoint, they take the reader through a process to taking charge of their own lives. The key to living an inspired life is simple: accept your past; release your expectations; embrace your choices. The truth of the matter is that the more we like ourselves, the fewer expectations we have, and the way we make conscious choices—in everyday matters large and small are the keys to living an inspired life. Simply an Inspired Life teaches readers to distinguish between events and our feelings about them, to choose thoughtfully, and never blame ourselves or anyone else. Filled with inspiring quotes, wisdom from the ages and all traditions, personal stories, and exercises, Simply an Inspired Life is based on eight guiding principles: honor, forgiveness, gratitude, choice, vision, action, celebration, and unity with all creation. They are equally important—and practiced daily they change lives. “Mary Anne Radmacher’s words simply inspire. Now, teamed with Johnathan Huie, I have two SAILs furled in one craft to remind me of virtues I want to incorporate into my life with suggested steps to do just that.” —Jane Kirkpatrick, New York Times-bestselling author “A great read. The interplay between the two authors was compelling.” —Karen Casey, author of Each Day a Renewed Beginning

On the evening of May 12, 2011, I stood in front of a mirror with a 9mm Smith & Wesson to my head. Live or not live? That WAS the question. At that moment I had every justification to just give up-my ex-wife had moved my only son out of state, my fiancée had just told me she had found someone new, my business of twenty-five years was seemingly on the rocks, and worst of all, my nephew, the son of my youngest brother and business partner-a boy I loved- had shot and killed his mom and buried her in the backyard of the family home. Add in a bit of alcohol and the stage was set. Fast forward to today-I live the most extraordinary life that I love! I've been accused of being the happiest guy alive, and I am! I'm surrounded by people who truly love me for who I am-literally people around the world-and I have everything I've ever wanted. The challenge is this, How do you fundamentally change the way you think? How do you go from "shit happens" to "shit happens and I'm absolutely OK with that"? I've spent the last forty years discovering the secrets to creating a life that you love and that satisfies you completely. I'll share how to enter this new reality and start living your new life NOW. After reading this book you will understand: How we're wired to interact with the world. How events at an early age determine how we react to situations in life. How to become aware of your thoughts and how to use that awareness to choose differently. How the food we eat effects everything we do. The power of movement in maintaining joy and happiness. Specific daily habits to create the life you love! For me it was literally life or death: I had to change how I related to world. The result of that effort uncovered an amazing, new world available to anyone committed to living a life of joy and happiness. By the end of this book you will understand how to create that life you've only dreamed of.

Today we are living longer than ever before, and a few of us can expect to live to 100 or more. But many people feel that they will inevitably suffer the diseases of old age in their final years. Pharmaceutical companies have spent billions of dollars trying to find a cure for the "diseases of aging"—they may have found ways to stem some of the symptoms, but they have yet to find a panacea. Yet there are places in the world where, all along, people have commonly lived to 100 or more without suffering so much as a headache. How do they do it? The answer is simple: through sound dietary habits and balanced, healthy lifestyles. The 50 Secrets of the World's Longest Living People looks at the nutrition and lifestyle mores of the world's five most remarkable longevity hotspots—Okinawa, Japan; Bama, China; Campodimele, Italy; Symi, Greece; and Hunza, Pakistan—and explains how we too can incorporate the wisdom of these people into our everyday lives. It offers each of the secrets in detail, provides delicious, authentic recipes, and outlines a simple-to-master plan for putting it all together and living your best, and longest, life.
