Marcus Wells | Body Thermodynamics
August 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Dr. Marcus Wells’ book revolutionizes ways on how to energize the body without radically changing your lifestyle. Thermogenix reveals “hidden” cellular potentials that restore, rejuvenate and rebalance your life. In a growing aging society, how we’re to maintain a balanced metabolism will be more important, but also will become more problematic. Dr. Wells’ incredible idea blends both a strong scientific basis towards understanding energy with a natural pursuit of it. This demonstrates so many ways that have been overlooked or misunderstood that we can now achieve what is often call the “super burn” effect of metabolism. This method helps you recapture “latent potentions of energy” necessary to live a more productive happier and healthier life. Dr. Wells was educated and trained in western medicine in the U.S.A. Upon receving his Doctorate of Medicine (MD), he continued his medical education at the world’s premiere bio-medical researchcenter, the National Institute of Health (NIH) where he trained with the nation’s most notable scientist in the areas of heart, lung, blood, and metabolic diseases.

August 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Georgia Weithe has found her muse in the word reflection and it has informed all of her professional and personal choices. Reflection, with its dual distinct meanings: meditative—the inner and spiritual journey she takes with her clients. And as in the world of physics: light striking back against a surface—her personal quest for the source of the light that illuminates her path through this life.Georgia’s work shows her commitment to healing, both in the field of education and in her private practice. She is a certified teacher, and since founding the Reflections Educational Consulting Firm in 1988, she has appeared as a guest speaker presenting workshops on a variety of topics to professionals in the fields of education and health care. Most recently she has enjoyed a ten-year affiliation with the Center for Courage and Renewal’s Courage to Teach Program, created by the Fetzer Institute.Georgia is a certified Well-Springs Facilitator, and has a private practice in which she incorporates the Well-Springs massage, Reiki and Healing Touch.She could not have foreseen that all of her professional experiences would have a common theme: guiding people back to themselves. Her courage in exploring her own inner landscape has made her, for others in her life, a pilgrim spirit—a colleague and friend who journeys into the unknown and beckons others to travel with her. It is this quality of spirit that led her to write her book, Shining Moments—Finding Hope in Facing Death.In all of her life’s work, Georgia offers up a remarkable degree of reflection about things that matter. Not surprisingly, having accompanied her father on his final journey to his death, she uncovered some rare observations about the art of living.When not otherwise engaged, Georgia creates her own line of Reflections Jewelry. She has been married for more than 30 years and has two grown children.

Laura Duksta | I Love You More
August 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Laura enjoys nothing more than sharing her story with others, inspiring them to know that if she can do it so can they. Laura has presented her program, “Self-Esteem through Love: Empowering our Children to Shine” to 1000’s of students, educators and administrators across the country. She is able to sprinkle her story of becoming an author with bits of wisdom that people of any age can use to achieve any dream. She speaks to all types of women’s auxiliary groups, charitable foundations, support groups, etc., at which she shares how her biggest challenge, losing her hair, eventually became her biggest blessing. This helps people see what might be possible when they bring love to what’s being experienced as a challenge or a negative situation. She inspires marketing and sales teams to know that there’s nothing that can’t be accomplished with a plan, a few prayers and a lot of love. And, she of course speaks to aspiring authors and publishers sharing her story of how she went from bartender to best-selling author. She prepares her audience for what might be at times a roller coaster of ride, but certainly one that’s worth it. Laura has spoken for The Learning Annex, The National Alopecia Areata Foundation, The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, The National Association of Women’s Writers (Florida chapter), Gilda’s Club, Xango New School (network marketing event where she shared the stage with Keynote T. Harv Eker), emceed the South Beach Wine and Food Festival Kidz Kitchen (with Rachel Ray, Alton Brown, Emril and Giatta), as well as having had presented dozens of school visits and author workshops across the country. Laura believes that love is the answer. She sees the world as a classroom where we have chosen to come and grow ourselves to the next level of awareness.. This world is one of duality and when we learn to embrace both the happiness and sadness, the good and bad, the war and peace, the challenge and opportunity, we will no longer be stopped by our circumstances but will be inspired to co-create with our Higher Selves. It is in this state that we are grateful for the events and experiences in our lives because we are able to see how they all serve our own personal growth and add to global evolution. What would happen if we understood that life is happening exactly as it was meant to, so that we may learn lessons of compassion, understanding, wisdom and contribution. If everything “worked” the way that we might envision that it “should” there would be no room for growth. We would no longer have to be here-you might say we would become “enlightened,” when that happens we will have transformed into The Light. This is not to say that we are not working towards transforming and healing our planet, but when we do this from the space that there is something wrong we come from fear and force and things aren’t necessarily transformed they are changed or fixed. Yet, when we can create and come from a place of love we will cause quantum leaps in consciousness. Love has the ability to heal the planet, though it will take a group of committed individuals to create a vision and take action. We are the ones and now is the time!

Rainbows End is his fourth book that captures this amazing journey through life to retirement when he began his long promised hobby of writing novels.In Rainbow’s End, the writer invites the reader to join him in tracing his life story from the earliest recollection at two years of age through to retirement. It describes a traumatic experience, a number of trials and unexpected and unwanted early responsibilities throughout his teenage years. There were times of heartache and disenchantment suffered through witnessing his siblings being torn apart through his mother’s extreme pride and almost fatal obsession. Then in his late twenties, having the courage to emigrate with his own young family to Canada to escape a depressive and negative environment that seemed to feed on itself. They left the security of a home and a good job for an unfamiliar lifestyle in Canada. This proved to be the right decision, as changes occurred that sent them on an incredible journey full of opportunities and challenges that they could not have imagined. The life in their adopted country has exceeded their dreams. Find out more information on the web at www.outskirtspress.com

Stefan Sagmeister | Art & Design
June 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Today we spoke with Stefan Sagmeister — it was a real pleasure. His newest book is called Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far.This book began as a list designer Stefan Sagmeister made in his diary under the title Things I have learned in my life so far, which includes statements such as “Worrying solves nothing” and “Trying to look good limits my life.” The list reveals something that is profoundly true: Although human beings have been pursuing happiness for countless generations, it is not so easily achieved. And we need constant reminders to keep us on the right path. With the support of his clients, Sagmeister transformed these sentences into typographic works, from billboards in France to sign-toting inflatable monkeys on the streets of Scotland. Accompanied by essays from design historian Steven Heller, Guggenheim chief curator Nancy Spector, and UK psychologist Daniel Nettle, as well as Sagmeister’s own words, the series is revealed as a complex blend of personal revelation, art, and design—an eclectic mix of visual audacity and sound advice Stefan is the founder of the New York based Sagmeister Inc. Since 1993, he has designed branding, graphics and packaging for clients as diverse as the Rolling Stones, HBO, the Guggenheim Museum and Time Warner. He is a five time Grammy nominee and actually won a Grammy for the Talking Heads boxed set. Stefan has won practically every important international design award. In 2001 a best selling monograph about his work Sagmeister, Made you Look was published by Booth-Clibborn editions. Solo shows on Sagmeister Inc’s work have been mounted in Zurich, Vienna, New York, Berlin, Tokyo, Osaka, Prague, Cologne and Seoul. He teaches in the graduate department of the School of Visual Art in New York and has been appointed as the Frank Stanton Chair at The Cooper Union School of Art, New York. Stefan lectures regularly all over the world. http://www.thin
