Are you comfortable discussing your own mortality? Are you interested in exploring the journey of one man facing his own death from cancer? If you answered yes to these questions, you're destined to read, Enjoy Every Sandwich: Live Each Day As If It Were Your Last.

In July 2009, well-known, California-based physician, Lee Lipsenthal, found himself on the other side of the table; diagnosed with cancer of the lower esophagus. He knew it was an aggressive disease with a dismal prognosis.

Enjoy Every Sandwich is Lipsenthal's chronicle of his cancer passage. The title was inspired by singer/songwriter Warren Zevon who died in 2003 of lung cancer. Appearing on late night television, Zevon revealed how he'd learn to enjoy every sandwich he ate. Ironically, Lipsenthal's cancer was detected after experiencing pain while eating a sandwich.

Once diagnosed, his wife and colleagues encouraged him to fight the disease. Lipsenthal declared that he planned to approach his cancer on his terms: "I had no desire or will to fight cancer. I just wanted to be with cancer."

Books titles like Anticancer and A Cancer Battle Plan and today's healthcare system, perpetuate the belief that cancer is something to attack. Lipsenthal disagrees: "Can you imagine a health care system in which the main goal is to enhance peace, vitality, and the joy of living, a system that views dying as a natural process instead of something to be feared and avoided?"

Neuroimaginal is a word Lipsenthal and two of his colleagues coined. It describes the world we create in our minds and the one we convince ourselves is true. Being aware of this concept helped him experience his cancer journey.

Lipsenthal chose to make meditation a key component of his cancer treatment. He began the practice during his medical residency. He also incorporated Native American healing rituals, including the Shamanic Breathwork Process. If you have no experience with these alternative medical practices, don't let it preclude you from reading Lipsenthal's, narrative.

We've all heard the sentiments that, near death, we won't be wishing we'd done one more work project. Lipsenthal echoes those beliefs. He realized that his hard-earned work life was probably over as he knew it, at least during his chemotherapy and perhaps, forever: "The moment I was able to accept that my life's work might die, I had an unexpected and surprising sense of freedom."

Lipsenthal advocates the importance of practicing gratitude daily: "When we practice gratitude each day, life becomes sweet regardless of our life circumstances." He suggests keeping a pad or journal at your bedside. Each night write down three things that you are grateful for that happened that day. You'll begin to look for things that are right in the world instead of wrong. After about three weeks you'll have remodeled your brain to be grateful, even optimistic.

Lee Lipsenthal died on September 20, 2011. Read Enjoy Every Sandwich, and at book's end, his obituary is heartfelt. Lipsenthal's cancer journey reminds us that life's inconveniences like traffic jams and cancelled or delayed flights are inconsequential.

Created To NEED A Help Meet by Michael Pearl

Michael Pearl certainly has an uncanny way to reach out to the hearts of people-in this case, particularly to men who are having problems with their marriage or relationships. There are two important elements that I've come to notice as soon as I started reading this book. It is direct to the point and honest. I think that these factors made Michael and his wife Debi, successful in turning their marriage life into a literary art that can effectively help individuals who are seeking to have a harmonious and peaceful relationship with their spouse.

This self-help book starts with an introduction about the author's personal experiences and dilemmas that center around the opposite sex. All of his shared stories are personal and quite truthful. It is something that you have also experienced at some point in your life which makes this book all the more special because you know for a fact that Michael knows and can relate to what you are going through. He starts by talking about how he felt when he first felt attraction to a girl (he was nine years old) and continues to share similar stories as he was growing up. He explained how hard it was for him to overcome these physical temptations but his faith made him stronger and he details what happened in the end. He is very explicit about the difficulties he needed to endure and the sheer effort that he needed to exert, giving the readers not a perfect life story, but a realistic one-with all of its ups and downs-that everybody goes through.

You will find that his words are simple, making it very easy to understand. Although the author has bravely used some archaic terms, which is also the focal point of the book (the help "meet"), he made it a point to be coherent and clear by writing a section that elaborately explains the meaning of the word "meet" through several examples (excerpts from the Bible) that are matched with follow-up captions. His style makes it extremely easy for anyone who would want to read the book regardless if that person is a Christian or not.

Overall, Michael Pearl has done a great job. This is a top-notch book that all men (and women too) must read, especially when you want to become a better partner to your wife and a better, more matured person in the long run. It is a book that will make you realize some awkward truths about yourself. These realizations can lead you to self-forgiveness and acceptance that then result in a happy marriage as long as you will let the book help you.

So if you're willing to be open to improvement, get the book, digest it, and put it to practice so you can start experiencing the rewards like I am beginning to. You can find it online at http://shop.nogreaterjoy.org/created-to-need-a-help-meet-book/

The One Minute Manager

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Is The One Minute Manager trying to imply that the tasks of an effective manager can be done or mastered in just a minute? To be precise, the answer is: not exactly. Instead, this book by Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson makes you realize that a manager can do significant and lasting things within a minute. In essence, one does not have to really spend hours or days figuring out and finding solutions to problems in handling people effectively.

In fact, The One Minute Manager discusses several suggestions and useful ideas in a simple manner. Managers coming from different settings will find this book truly useful. Focusing on what is deemed important, the book places great emphasis on determining realistic and achievable goals, giving due commendations by catching them while doing the right thing, and prescribing corrections in a positive way. Truly, The One Minute Manager proves that it is never too difficult and time consuming to manage people if you do it right.

The first part of the book discusses on the One Minute Goals. Expressed in not more than two hundred fifty words, both the manager and the employees should be able to describe the desired results. By painting a picture of what their collective expectations really are and how the results should actually look like, it is much easier and manageable to make a step-by-step procedure of achieving such goals. Also, part of the process involves sharing the vision which will lead to sharing of responsibilities.

The second part of The One Minute Manager gives emphasis to One Minute Praising. It is a way of boosting the confidence and morale of your subordinates by confirming that they are doing things right, while they are actually doing it. The praise should be specific enough to gain significance and it should directly point out how it helped the team, the coworkers, and the organization in general. This is very effective in reinforcing a positive performance and gives more reason for the subordinate to continue improving.

The last part of the book talks about One Minute Reprimands. Here, The One Minute Manager points out to the erring subordinate about errors committed in a positive way. It should not be done in a formal setting for it brings a lot of reasons to be anxious. Just like in the process of praising, reprimands should be done right away in order to bear significance. In correcting errors, the manager should thoroughly explain the implications and effects of the mistake to the organization in general. It is important to note that according to the book, once the reprimand is over, it should no longer be mentioned again unless the same error is committed.

The One Minute Manager has captured the attention of many people around the globe because of its simplicity of expression. According to many readers, it can be considered as a light reading material which is easy to understand and grasp. It serves as a quick reference that can be read over and over again.

The voice of the first sign a non-Drifter, is go for it, '' he still engaged in do something definitive, certain very creux plans is definitive. A larger purpose foreigners have come into life towards the still work and objectives minor a lot, everything cover lead towards Central r?gime. big bruise distinction de la who drifter is this, he has an idea clean, and any penalty to all.

Napoleon was gutsy to write in this book. However, he was to an end by fonctionnement de la Satan, year published ago.

This is the biggest point in the Holy writings? Well, without giving the history of go, point the fall for saying

Wake up and make. '' Is it not in your went straight from overcome the evil one. He reconna?t that who has faith for and serve others, you will never be without blog also their pleasure, and EVIL. There is no denying not too, and the Devil be able to against who think for them.

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus - Book Review

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Recently I re-discovered this book while browsing through a local op-shop, with enthusiasm I took it to the counter to take home & re-read the beautiful life lessons offered by John Gray. My favourite two chapters without a doubt 'Women are Like Waves' & 'Men Go to Their Caves & Women Talk!'

Women Are Emotional Waves, don't we know it!

John Gray aptly describes women as waves, he says, "When she feels loved her self esteem rises and falls in a wave motion. When she is feeling good, she will reach a peak, but then suddenly her mood may change and her wave crashes down, this crash is temporary. After she reaches the bottom suddenly her mood will shift and she will feel good about herself."

My 'ah ha!' moment arrived while reading this chapter when John states that a women at the bottom of her wave likes to discuss & share her problems, then will begin to rise up to the top of the wave & feel good again. He writes that men misunderstand this positive shift to mean that whatever was bothering her is now completely healed or resolved. As men generally discuss problems to find a resolutions.

Then when I went on to read 'Men Go To Their Caves & Women Talk' a clearer picture began to emerge for me in the huge difference in communicating & problem solving between men & women.

Men Go To Their Caves & Women Talk

"You seem to have gone into a cave, want to about it?"

Doesn't everyone want to talk all the time? Especially when they have a problem? Reality is a funny thing. I didn't realise how much I actually talk until I read this chapter, I thought everyone was the same as me...wow shock!? I realise that I have a large word count requirement. When I had a wisdom tooth removed a sympathetic friend came to visit our normal chit chatter was reduced to a few words here and there, I had so much to say but could not talk!

So it was to my horror when I first read this book to find out that some people especially men like to withdraw to cope with stress & focus on the problem until it is resolved often at the expense or ahead of other responsibilities.

I totally love this book it profoundly challenges my thinking. The tips & lessons to be learned are so helpful when in the workplace, at home, with friends or in situations of conflict.

Think And Grow Rich Book Review

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Think and Grow Rich is a motivational book written by Napoleon Hill, it was first published in 1937 during the time of great depression. This book has been on the bestseller list from last 74 years. Andrew Carnegie started working as a factory worker, later he emerged as the great industrialist and became one of the richest men in the America.

Andrew Carnegie donated almost all his money to establish libraries, schools and universities. Andrew Carnegie wanted to give a success philosophy to this world so that by following this success philosophy anyone can become rich. He appointed Napoleon Hill for this job, to write a book on success philosophy. Napoleon hill interviewed more than 500 most successful men and women and then figured out what these people do different that make them successful.

"The revolutionary discovery of these 500 interviews is that you have complete control over just one thing in your life and that is your mind."

Human Being have been given this great gift, you have been given mind and you have ability to control your mind. If you can control your mind, you can achieve anything you desire. As Napoleon Hill said "Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, your mind can achieve."

Here Is A Summary Of Some Of The Successes Principles Taught In Think And Grow Rich Book.

01. Desire - The Turning Point Of All Achievement

The first thing required to become successful is desire. Desire is different from merely wishing. A Desire should be well defined, you should write it down on the paper with the exact amount of money and exact date when you want to possess this money.

The six steps taken from this book that will turn your desire into reality:

Write down exact amount of money you desire. For example if it is one million dollar, write down 1 million dollar.Write down exactly what you are ready to give in return to achieve your desired outcome.Write down the exact date when you intend to be in the possession of your desiredCreate a definite plan to achieve your goal and start taking actions.Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.You must read your statement twice daily once in the morning and once before sleeping. Believe and act as you have already achieved your Goal.

02. Faith

The second step to become successful is the Faith. Faith is like a bridge that attaches your soul with the supreme power that has created you and entire world. When you have faith in your ability and in supreme power, all the fears and doubts will go away from your mind.

If you want to take control of your mind, you need Faith. The only difference between successful people and failure is the ability to control their mind with tons of faith. They remain on the road of success despite many short-term failure.

If you want to create Faith you must accept this truth that God has created you and he has given you a beautiful gift that is your mind. You must recognize that by controlling your mind you can achieve anything you want.

03. Auto Suggestion

Auto-suggestion is the self-talk. Auto-suggestion means how you talk with yourself, which kind of words you use while thinking about different situations in your mind. "You have to close your mind from negative and destructive thoughts"

You must repeat the sentences in your mind like "I am better than I think I am", "I am on the road to achieve my goals". Think what other people will talk about yourself when you will achieve your goal.

Why Auto-suggestion is Important?

Because it is the medium to influence your subconscious mind and once you are able to plant a desire goal in your subconscious mind, your mind will find ways how to achieve that goal itself.

04. Specialized Knowledge, Personal Experience Or Observation

Have you ever wondered why so many well educated people are not rich? According to the author,most of the well educated have accumulated only General knowledge. They need Specialized knowledge that is organized intelligently to achieve one's goals.

"Knowledge becomes power only and when it is organized to reach a well defined goal." You can become successful if you take some time off to find out the areas in which you need to gain more knowledge. Write down all your ideas and create a plan.

Final Thoughts On This Book

I hope after reading this summary, I have given you an idea of how much about success principles you can learn by reading this great book "Think and Grow Rich". May be I am not able to summarize this book well but I highly recommend you to buy this book and read it many times. If you want to buy just one book in your life time, then buy this book. It will transform your life.
