A New Earth... Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

On Monday night Kim and I tried to watch Oprah's live webcast of Eckhart Tolle's new book A New Earth, with our friends Theresa and Damon, but after experiencing the images and sound out of sync we turned off the TV about 20 mins into it.

But the good news is that after each show ends you download any webcast off Oprah's site.

Well, up early as I usually am, this morning I just watched Chapter 1 and even though I'm enjoying the book, it's wonderful to have the opportunity to listen to Eckhart and Oprah take us through the book chapter by chapter.

I can't recommend this book and the experience of watching these webcasts enough.

FEAR AND YOGA IN NEW JERSEY by Debra Galant

I'm off to pick up my copy at Barnes & Noble of FEAR AND YOGA IN NEW JERSEY.

And to entice all of my weight loss peeps to help my friend get the book on the best seller list I'm going to send a FREE copy of Eat + Grow Rich to anyone who sends me a pic of them and her book in the next 48 hours.

FEAR AN YOGA IN NEW JERSEY INTRO
At the center of Debra Galant's new novel is Nina Gettleman-Summer, a stressed-out New Jersey yoga teacher.

Nina should be calmly guiding her high powered students through their savasanas and their chakras .

Instead she is worried about... everything: her new meditation fountain overflowed resulting in a dangerous mess that caused one of her more litigious students to slip and fall; her husband Michael's job as Newark Airport's meteorologist was outsourced to the Phillipines, and a hurricane is bearing down on her parents’ home in Florida.

The last thing Nina needs is her suspicious mother Belle around, wailing about the weather and asking questions about Michael's job.

To complicate matters, her teenage son Adam is showing a sudden interest in having a Bar Mitzvah – even though Nina, never a fan of her Jewish heritage, signed the family up at the local Unitarian Church.

Which brings us to the heart of this very funny book.

Nina's put her faith in feng shui and crystals while her husband passes the time chatting with the local Jehovah's Witnesses and Adam plots his religious coming of age, which he believes will net him a real life pot of gold.

The Gettleman-Summers are poised for an awakening which, when it arrives, is deftly portrayed in Galant's classic screwball style.

Have you ever heard of bird diapers?
Interested in a talking toilet paper dispenser?
What about a motorized ice cream cone?
A handle for carrying your turkey around the kitchen?
Looking for a Kosher Lamp?

These aren't gag gadgets from some lame late night talk show skit. They are actual, real products that you can buy today. Maybe you already have?

Americans love their gadgets--and Gadget Nation takes you behind the scenes and introduces you to the men and women who have spent countless hours and money, (in some cases cashing in their 401(k)), trying to turn their gadget idea into a gadget bonanza.

Steve Greenberg, dubbed The Innovation Insider, travels the country seeking out clever off-beat new products. His journey through the underbelly [mypetfat] of American invention has brought him face to face with hundreds of garage inventors. Steve has spent years exploring and observing this often bizarre slice of Americana. And while most of us might look at these products and wonder, "Why didn't I think of that?" Steve will tell you why these people did.

Featuring more than 100 quirky innovations from garage inventors across the nation, this visual showcase captures America's can-do spirit and creative energy.

Sure, there are some scary examples of gadgets that have gone terribly wrong, but others will amaze you, and still others will make you laugh.

One fascinating aspect of each story is learning which inventors have achieved some degree of financial success. In this world, logic doesn't enter into the equation. A product that most people might look at and think, "Who needs that?" might be raking in millions and yet another product that seems truly ingenious might be drowning in red ink.

The inventions in the book are divided between eight chapters. Each chapter focuses on a specific gadget category such as Travel and Electronics. For example Chapter 4, "What Goes In...", looks at food related gadgets, while Chapter 5 "...Must Come Out" looks at bathroom-related gadgets.

Every inventor dreams their invention will be the next the Thigh Master™, Chia Pet™, Hairagami™, Pocket Fisherman™ or mypetfat™

Sure, we all love our gadgets--and after reading Gadget Nation, you will start developing a deep affection for the inventors behind those gadgets.

Zero Limits

As you know I highly recommend that everyone who truly wants to truly transform their thinking about weight ;loss and wellness needs to read Dr. Beck's book "The Beck Diet Solution".

But I just finished the latest Joe Vitale book, "ZERO LIMITS" which has totally turned my head upside-down [in a GREAT "WEIGH"] to not only weight loss but life in general. The book is truly a must read! NOW! TODAY!

Change Your Thoughts... Change Your Life

Although very different than Dr. Beck's book, the "Beck Diet Solution", only six days in Wayne Dyer's new book "Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life", I'm finding that his book is already very helpful in reshaping my thoughts not only about weight loss + wellness, it's also opening my eyes to a whole new way of seeing the world.

Dr. Beck's book really speaks to your head and heart about how to live a healthier life. Dr. Dyer's book speaks to your soul about how to live not only a healthier life, but a more meaningful, balanced, soulful life.

Both books are great daily "food for thought".

HAY HOUSE SYNOPSIS
Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.

In this book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of translations of the Tao Te Ching and has written 81 distinct essays on how to apply the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today’s modern world. This work contains the entire 81 verses of the Tao, compiled from Wayne’s researching of 10 of the most well-respected translations of text that have survived for more than 25 centuries. Each chapter is designed for actually living the Tao or the Great Way today. Some of the chapter titles are “Living with Flexibility,” “Living Without Enemies,” and “Living by Letting Go.” Each of the 81 brief chapters focuses on living the Tao and concludes with a section called “Doing the Tao Now.”

Wayne spent one entire year reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them each day and ultimately writing down these essays as he felt Lao-tzu wanted you to know them.

This is a work to be read slowly, one essay a day. As Wayne says, “This is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you’ll live in a new world aligned with nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord with the natural world and feel the greatest sense of peace I’ve ever experienced. I’m so proud to present this interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, and offer the same opportunity for change that it has brought me.”

ABOUT WAYNE DYER
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, affectionately called the “father of motivation” by his fans, is one of the most widely known and respected people in the field of self-empowerment. He became a well-known author with his bestselling book Your Erroneous Zones, and has gone on to write many other self-help classics, including Meditations for Manifesting, Staying on the Path, Your Sacred Self, Everyday Wisdom, and You’ll See It When You Believe It. Despite his childhood spent in orphanages and foster homes, Dr. Dyer, who has a doctorate in counseling psychotherapy, has overcome many obstacles to make his dreams come true. Today he spends much of his time showing others how to do the same. His latest titles include: Getting in the Gap, 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace, The Power of Intention, and Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling.

The Dip

THE DIP :
A LITTLE BOOK THAT TEACHES YOU WHEN TO QUIT [and when to STICK]

Ok, I just found out about this book a few seconds ago, but being a MASSIVE Seth Godin fan, and having read all of his books.

I have a feeling there's some tasty weight loss, exercise + wellness wisdom in his new book for for us. Yes, I know it's not a weight loss or exercise book but I've gotten some of my best ideas and inspiration at the "fringes".

EXCERPT
"Every new project (or job, or hobby, company or DIET - my note) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point-really hard, and not much fun at all.

And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip-a temporary setback that will get better if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.

What really sets superstars apart from everyone else is the ability to escape dead ends quickly, while staying focused and motivated when it really counts.

Winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt-until they commit to beating the right Dip for the right reasons. In fact, winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can become number one in your niche, you'll get more than your fair share of profits, glory, and long-term security.

Losers, on the other hand, fall into two basic traps. Either they fail to stick out the Dip-they get to the moment of truth and then give up-or they never even find the right Dip to conquer."
