Book Description

THIS IS A BOOK ABOUT SELF-SABOTAGE. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it-for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

Book Description

After a long, frightening journey, a Seeker of Truth reaches the top of a mountain and finds the cave of the Wise One. He says, O, Wise One, I have come many miles and suffered many hardships, to ask you one question. Ask, says the Wise One. What is the meaning of life?, says the pilgrim. The Wise One pauses, smiles slightly, and replies, You have come far and seem to me worthy, so I shall give you what you seek--the truth. The answer is in your question and this journey is your life. Go back down the mountain. When you arrive, you will know how much time you have wasted, and you will have no more time left. So, give me your watch. Why is life so mysterious and why is its purpose so elusive to us? It may be that we have looked for the meaning of life in the wrong places, as though in a nightmarish scavenger hunt arranged by the Prince of Darkness himself. From one moment to another, we thought it was money or power or fame or honor or comfort or some other pleasure of the flesh, only to see them, finally, as false clues leading to a mountain we shouldnt have climbed. This book records an inquiry that found the meaning of life by discovering the meaning of death. This is reflected in the words and behavior of those who decide to die--the suicides. These poor souls have much to teach us, for they have measured out for us the value of death, from which we can calculate the value of life, its reciprocal. So a study of suicide leads to the truth about life, yours and mine. This book guides you to that revelation. The surprise of the book is that you will discover that you knew it all along. The promise of the book is that you will know that you know.

Book Description

We're fortunate to be able to enjoy the gifts of knowledge and technology. Sometimes these do not come problem-free for each of you. We have inherited some of the silliness and sheer stupidity such "progress" has imposed. In this series of humorous and logical commentaries, Gentleman from Boynton "B-Y-T-E-S" back avoids anger or rage and wins your expression, 'I wish I had said that!' What he has said over his lifetime serving corporate leaders and the major brands you buy today, including cars to groceries. Made sense and dollars. He has worked with Presidents, Congressmen, celebrities of the entertainment world, (suspected of their political idiocy) and has even made a relationship with functionaries of La Cosa Nostra. As marketing/creative adman, his industry association called on him to replace the nice 'miracle' of binaural sound with a better buzz word. He gave them STEREO, the word that lives with us today! The author is also a musician. His music and lyrics brightened amateur entertainment in the shows produced for the army. Eleven years with the volunteer department of the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office brought his recent retirement as Captain. This writer still does what so many wish they might do. He continues to write.

Book Description

"Long ago the land was one big mass. Creatures born of the oceans climbed upon the shores, but another type of creature was forged in the depths of fire. Out of molten earth crawled dragons." Dragon Mountain faces the wrath of King Warrick, a man who won’t rest until every last dragon is gone. Half elf and half human, Zoe happens to be the future Wise One’s scaler, but Earthana’s lessons in the ways of the Wise One have left Zoe without the proper training in dragon and scaler magic. Not to mention she knows nothing of where she comes from. Zoe’s friends – Soran the elf, her human brother Caden, Lily the blacksmith’s finisher, and a merman named Nymen – help her search for the missing Gauntlet of the Realms, the only hope to save the dragons and those who love them. But betrayal, fear, and prejudice threatens to divide them as the coming war approaches. Can Zoe and her friends find the gauntlet and save dragon kind?
