Book excerpt: Achieve emotional, physical and financial balance for total well being in retirement. Nowhere are gender differences more prevalent than in the areas of money and finance. Added to this are the complexities associated with women and financial matters, and now, longevity is redefining retirement for women. Women control over 60% of the wealth in this country, yet few financial models consider the relevant issues specific to women-- particularly in understanding the impacts physical and emotional needs have on financial wealth. Over 90% of women feel financially insecure and half of those women report a fear of becoming financially destitute. Women are at greater financial risk due to longer life expectancy, lesser earnings, care-giving interruptions, and fewer retirement resources. Add to that, sudden life events such as widowhood, divorce, and job loss, which can wreak havoc on women's emotional and financial health. This book discusses the need for life planning and offers strategies for consideration for all women who desire to be financially independent and experience optimal well being. Bajalia focuses on the health/wealth connection to ensure women have a quality of life during the various stages of their retirement lives. She provides a guide for protecting and preserving the lifestyle we desire as women and shares insights on the emotional, physical and financial balance required for a dignified, empowering retirement. For women, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY - IT'S ABOUT TOTAL WELL BEING.

Download or read book Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat written by Peter Walsh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In much the same way that a cluttered home can stop you from living your best life, it can also sabotage your best efforts at controlling your weight. Most people who diet don't just go on one diet and succeed; they go on three or five or ten. And for most people, the diets fail because most diets are only about losing weight - they don't drill down into why you are carrying that weight around and why you want to lose it. In his years as a professional organiser, Walsh found time and time again that people hid their real problems behind their "stuff." Peter believes that the secret to understanding how you got here and how to fix it all starts with one simple question: "Are you living the life you imagined?" Weight loss is much simpler when you can focus not on the excess baggage of the kilos, but on how your weight is holding you back from being the person of your dreams. Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?will show you how to redefine your relationship to what you own and consume, and in so doing, redefine how you live your life. Once you understand the reasons behind the clutter and chaos in your home and your eating habits, you can take control of your kitchen, your pantry and your refrigerator to achieve a healthy balance. Often a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Peter Walsh is also the author of the New York Timesbestseller It's All Too Much.

Download or read book Lean Organisations Need FAT People written by Bay Jordan and published by Swanstone Wynot. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is the nature of man to rise to greatness if greatness is expected of him." (John Steinbeck, 1902-1968.) The same is true of organisations but, in order to really achieve greatness, they have to create an organisational energy that is rooted in the individual employee and synergised in effective teamwork. Thus they need great people, or, as Bay Jordan prefers to call them, FAT people. In this important contribution to HR management, the author explains what he means by FAT people and explores ways to move the boundaries of organisational development to create an environment that stimulates the people who work there and allows them to pursue their potential.
