For some reason, reading about Thoreau’s very individual decision to move to Walden Pond, or St. Therese’s struggle to stay patient with the nun who made clicking noises during evening prayers, was what taught me most about myself. I’ve heard from people whose lives are very different from mine, on the surface — but it turns out that we face many of the same challenges in our happiness projects. Here’s a question for you, readers: I’ve been steadily getting email from members of the ...

They will be requiring their incoming first year class to purchase iPads as well. We have been the first to report how and why Inkling is a game changer in the arena of medical e-books when we reviewed Ganong’s Review of Medical Physiology: Ganong’s Review of Medical Physiology for the iPad allows you to highlight, write notes, view innovative multimedia modules, and easily search for content — taking what you can do on a paper based textbook to a higher level — and taking e-learning to a comple...

(Stay tuned for the article in our mental health library!) In addition to sharing what works for them, they provided a slew of solutions for readers, too. Here’s what they had to say… 1. Challenge society’s standards. In our society, productivity is prized and praised. We reward workaholic ways, even though this is both emotionally and physically unhealthy. As such, productivity coach Laura Stack, MBA, suggested “challenging the social acceptance — even society’s encouragement — of these common phrases: ‘Look how productive you’re being. You are accomplishing great things’ ‘After all, you posses...

I ended up in a center seat on a 737, with two lawyers on either side. (There is probably a joke here somewhere!) The guy to the right of me had a new Kindle with a deluxe case and night light. The guy to my left was reading a paperback book and had an iPhone. I had my trusty new iPad 2 on my lap. That’s when the comparisons started. I started up a conversation with the guy with the Kindle. He showed me how the e-ink screen worked and showed me the pop out night light. The case was leather and was about the size of a 6×9 inch book. When I took a look at the unit, the side window of the airplane was open, and the black and white screen was easy to read. It looked like a g...

When I distill down what actually made a difference, it usually comes down to a phrase, a quote, or a simple action. For example, back in 2004, I heard a speaker at a conference speak four little words that changed my life forever. Four little words made all the difference. I saw a demonstration at a leadership conference on video, that spoke to me in thousands of words. The demonstration was so simple, yet so profound. The result was a life changing shift in the way I do things. I decided one day to clean off my desk for good. I tried a simple exercise that really made a difference. It took a whole five minutes to do, but resulted in a...

The effects of the current economic recession and a divisive political climate, as well as changes in family structure and the ever-growing use of personal electronic devices are isolating family members from one another. Tending the Family Heart provides practical ways for parents to counteract these affects by building and nurturing warmth and connection within their family. “The ‘heart part’ of a family is what transforms the very ordinary and repetitious tasks of daily life into expressions of mutual support and care,” says Dr. Hartwell-Walker. “Parents will ...

I’d been selling the e-Book for a while now with some ok results. However, as I thought about it, I wanted to get the information contained in the e-Book out to A LOT more people than were getting it as of now.

Myself, I have two e-readers. The first one was an Iliad e-reader with wifi. Bought it with a newspaper subscription. It reads very easy, even in sunlight. The wifi is hard to use. Downloading the newspaper in foreign countries seldom succeeded. Mostly had to plug the e reader into the router of the hotel. In general file format is a big issue. Not all file formats are supported by all e readers. My other e reader is a Kindle. Also easy to use. The international edition can be used to search and buy books from Amazon via 3G. Other Internet options as promised by Amazon only function on the US version of the kindle. Your not able to read RSS feeds or visit other websites with the international edition.

This little volume (the result of meditation and experience is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much-written-upon subject of the power of thought.

My first E-book is scheduled for release on January 21st, one week from today. The e-book will be free and it will be available right here at The Spot. The Book is called The Non-Conformists Guide to EMS Success. This book is the culmination of two decades of EMS experiences, mistakes, failures, trials, and errors that lead to my ultimate success.

Then I got into heroin for a year and finally hit my rock bottom. I went to a Suboxone doctor and he put me on 16 mg per day. At first everything was great, but I don’t like the side effects. I get so tired every day. I’m not happy like I used to be. I wake up in the morning and don’t have any energy or excitement for life. I really don’t like what the Suboxone is doing to me and want to stop. Sometimes it is a little different—the first part is the same, but then the person writes: I really wanted to stop taking it so that my body is free of chemicals so I stopped. I was rea...
