Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More time in nature not only makes us feel better, it also enhances our quality of life and contributes to a healthier and longer life. It's the natural advantage! Busy lives mean it's harder than ever to find the space to do those things that help you enjoy a greater quality of life. This has led to what is called a 'nature deficit'. We are so hooked up to our work, our technology and the demands placed on us in our daily lives that we no longer have the time or the energy to indulge in those activities that take us away from all our stresses and concerns to relax, restore our sense of wellbeing and connect to what matters the most. This book will appeal to the reader who recognises or remembers that time in nature is helpful but is wondering how to find the time other than by disappearing on a month-long hike into the wilderness. It has been written for the busy professional juggling multiple items on their agenda, who is feeling overwhelmed and super stressed, and wishing they had even five minutes to get outside and engage in those activities they remember provide them with joy and peace. Engaging in nature-based activities is a powerful tool to create happier, healthier lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life has a lot to do with having energy. Our body being able to produce good energy from what we take in on a daily basis is critical to the health of our body, mind, and spirit; they're all linked whether we acknowledge that fact or not. It doesn't matter if you're poor or rich, what color, what race, what culture, or what religion""we all have the same natural body, and it needs natural sources of energy. Author- I've given a bird's eye view of where we are as planet and species because knowing is half the battle. I've also lit up the path in the right direction because doing something about it is the other half. It's better to crawl in the right direction than the run in the wrong. Andre Gilbert has developed a literary contribution that delves into serious issues that distort the emotional and physical health of humanity today. Simply put, the doors are opened into worlds that are seldom addressed and hardly ever resolved. Hippocrates Health Institute, which I have had the privilege to direct since 1980, like Andre, believe that one must make significant change in attitude and lifestyle to become whole happy and well. When using this book as a guide to reformulate and organize your life, the results will be magnificent. Th ere is one thing for sure, few people have been as spot on as Gilbert in his approach to wellbeing. Be well, ""Brian R. Clement, PhD, LN, Directo

Download or read book Green to Gold written by Daniel C. Esty and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-01-09 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Publishers Weekly review: "Two experts from Yale tackle the business wake-up-call du jour-environmental responsibility-from every angle in this thorough, earnest guidebook: pragmatically, passionately, financially and historically. Though "no company the authors know of is on a truly long-term sustainable course," Esty and Winston label the forward-thinking, green-friendly (or at least green-acquainted) companies WaveMakers and set out to assess honestly their path toward environmental responsibility, and its impact on a company's bottom line, customers, suppliers and reputation. Following the evolution of business attitudes toward environmental concerns, Esty and Winston offer a series of fascinating plays by corporations such as Wal-Mart, GE and Chiquita (Banana), the bad guys who made good, and the good guys-watchdogs and industry associations, mostly-working behind the scenes. A vast number of topics huddle beneath the umbrella of threats to the earth, and many get a thorough analysis here: from global warming to electronic waste "take-back" legislation to subsidizing sustainable seafood. For the responsible business leader, this volume provides plenty of (organic) food for thought. "

Download or read book Not Fade Away written by Alan Heeks and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not Fade Away: Staying happy when you're over 64! is the new book by resilience writer Alan Heeks, offering guidance to the baby boomer generation for enjoying their vintage years, and growing through the tough parts of getting older. Now 69, Alan is deeply engaged with the issues in this new book. Alan Heeks says: "The late sixties and beyond are a landmark: a good time to choose what you want from the years ahead, and take stock of the story so far. This short, practical book offers simple guidelines to find your bearings and make sense of the sixties and seventies. This is a time of big transition, potentially a time of new freedom. But it's also a time for facing challenges, which is why navigating your way forward skilfully at this age is so important. The book will also be a helpful guide for those in their fifties, offering inspiration and helpful foresight for the road ahead." With chapter titles named after iconic Sixties songs - from Good Vibrations and All Along the Watchtower to My Generation and Sunshine of Your Love - Not Fade Away is arranged in three main sections. 'Finding your Gifts' helps you appreciate the good things in your life, add to them, and make the best of your resources. With advice on silver dating, friendships, family dynamics and different kinds of communities and groups, it also shares advice on finding more meaning and purpose and provides ideas for creating fresh adventures. 'Digging the Challenges' contains guidance and resources for dealing with difficulties such as failing health, fears of growing older, and grieving lost loved ones, and shares positive ways to meet your financial needs. And finally, 'Fresh Maps', complete with advice from a range of role models, provides insights for changing unhelpful patterns and for becoming a 'wise elder', and shares useful hints, forecasts and opportunities for the decade ahead. All proceeds from the book will be donated to the charity Action for Happiness www.actionforhappiness.org/. Not Fade Away also explores what we can learn from the spirit of the Sixties. With so many music and movie stars from the era still vibrant and performing at 70 plus - from Mick Jagger and Judi Dench to Terence Stamp and Judy Collins - what can we learn from their journey through the decades, and how the Sixties shaped them? Alan Heeks says: "One benefit of these uncertain times we live in is that patterns and precedents are breaking down, so we're more free to suit ourselves. There are people starting families and big new projects in their seventies; there are people relishing a quieter, slower pace; and there are people facing death or major illness. Whatever you're facing, believe that you have more choices, more resources and more support than you imagine. Trust that life is inviting you to find your way. I hope you'll find Not Fade Away a useful resource in that process, shining a light on your best way forward." Julie Felix, the 1960's folk star, endorses Alan's book: "I feel lucky to have been part of the Sixties. I feel lucky to still be singing what Bob Marley calls "these songs of freedom." And in the autumn of my years I'm glad I can reach out and find a song to sing. Growing old is a challenge and Alan's book can make the journey less daunting and more fun."
