Dare to Discover Your Purpose
GEORGE JERJIAN is a mindset mentor, author, and speaker who retired after being given just six months to live by his doctor. Thankfully, the diagnosis was wrong and as soon as he could, he "unretired" and set to work, helping his tribe of baby boomers do the same. George has a business degree from Bradford University in England and a master's degree in journalism from New York University. He has been in business for over 40 years, working as a Chartered Marketer, a partner in US commercial real estate, and a financial adviser. He has authored 10 books, is an Emmy award-winning producer, a Distinguished Toastmaster, and founder of Retirement Rebellion. "Winston Churchill was just hitting his stride in his mid-sixties when he was elected Prime Minister of Great Britain and led the Allied Forces into WW2. Colonel Sanders, at the age of 65, began franchising KFC using his first Social Security check. Dare to Discover Your Purpose provides the mindset blueprint required to kickstart your so-called "retirement" years into high gear."Bob Proctor, Bestselling Author of You Were Born Rich, Toronto, Canada "Jerjian's unique book can help retirees discover their life 'purpose.' His DARE method guides retiring boomers to delve into their hearts and minds to create a blueprint for a new life of purpose and passion in the third age of life. This book can help reframe retirement and transform obstacles into opportunities."Ken Dychtwald, PhD, author of What Retirees Want and Radical Curiosity, Orinda, CA, USA "You can retire from work, but you can't retire from life. George Jerjian explains the vital importance of having purpose in later life and how to find it."Maggy Pigott, CBE, Author of How to Age Joyfully: Eight Steps to a Happier, Fuller Life, London, UK "If you didn't tiptoe through most of your life, why would you 'tiptoe to a quiet death'? It's the fundamental question George Jerjian asks all of us to consider as he challenges us to re-evaluate what it means to live life with hope, optimism, and empowerment. We all should dare to live Jerjian's rebellious retirement."Peter Kaldes, President & CEO, American Society on Aging, San Francisco, CA, USA "George Jerjian is a rebel with a cause. His cause is to awaken and inspire mid-lifers so they can prepare for the next stage of life. His key point is that every individual has the power to create a future that works for them, where they can flourish and prosper. But this will not just drop in your lap, it takes willingness and work. I commend George's work to you, so read this book, and get started on your journey of the rest of your life."Hunter Leonard, Bestselling Author, Founder Silver & Wise, Sydney, Australia To meet George Jerjian in person is one of life's great treats, but if you can't meet him personally, this little book of his will recharge the batteries of your life and change the way you think and behave. Wherever you go, you will create value and the planet will be a better place as a result.Professor Malcolm McDonald MA(Oxon) MSc PhD DLitt DSc, Emeritus Professor, Cranfield University School of Management, UK "George Jerjian's DARE method maps why and how to 'unretire' and provides the tools to help you find your own unique purpose."Martin Hyde, Associate Professor of Gerontology, Swansea University, UK
Positive Images
A tidal wave of panic surrounded homosexuality and AIDS in the 1980s and early 1990s, the period commonly called 'The AIDS Crisis'. With the advent of antiretroviral drugs in the mid '90s, however, the meaning of an HIV diagnosis radically changed. These game-changing drugs now enable many people living with HIV to lead a healthy, regular life, but how has this dramatic shift impacted the representation of gay men and HIV in popular culture? Positive Images is the first detailed examination of how the relationship between gay men and HIV has transformed in the past two decades. From Queer as Folk to Chemsex, The Line of Beauty to The Normal Heart, Dion Kagan examines literature, film, TV, documentaries and news coverage from across the English-speaking world to unearth the socio-cultural foundations underpinning this 'post-crisis' period. His analyses provide acute insights into the fraught legacies of the AIDS Crisis and its continued presence in the modern queer consciousness.

In Sickness and in Health
Did you ever think of going on a vacation with no idea of where you were going or how long you'd be away-not preparing, not packing, not bringing anything with you? Then, while you're on this vacation, you don't know where you are, you're not sure how you got there, you can't find a path to follow, and the route ahead is pure fog. You have no idea of where you're headed, and all you know is that you need to take one step after another just to keep on going.In Sickness and in Health documents such a journey, the author's personal journey, taken from his wife's Alzheimer's diagnosis until her death. As the disease progressed, the realities of daily life changed as Alzheimer's stole his wife's ability to function, her ability to communicate, her personality, and much more. But, while much of the focus is on Beth's deteriorating condition, this memoir also offers insight into the toll that Alzheimer's and, by extension, any terminal illness, takes on caregivers and survivors. The emotional roller coaster can be dramatic and can persist well past the death of the patient. But readers are also offered some practical advice about housekeeping items-finances, legal affairs, and considerations around care-each of which must be thought through for both the short and long term.Written from the heart, In Sickness and in Health offers solace to those who have lost someone to Alzheimer's or other terminal illnesses and assures them that they can get through this most painful time in their lives. It offers a glimpse into a world that we all too often go out of our way to avoid-and some suggestion for navigating it with a little less bewilderment when we can evade it no longer.

The Diabetic Information Handbook
I like to help people by making their lives simpler and less complex. At one time, I was one of my mother's caregivers. My sisters and I had difficulty keeping up with my mother's medical information and scheduling. We would often write information down on notepads and share what her medical issues were, results of her doctor's visit, and change in medication.Sometimes one of us would forget to write down information which resulted in lots of confusion and unnecessary phone calls to the doctors trying to find out the next medical appointment or changes in medication, or at times we did not notate response when a medication did not agree with my mom.We spent a lot of time going back-and-forth between ourselves and doctors' offices. One day, while I was with my mom at one of her medical appointments, the idea came to me to write one manual and include the medication doses, doctor's appointments, type of insulin, etc. Needless to say, this manual made everyone's life a little easier.

Cancer as a Wake-Up Call
An oncologist's integrative path to treating and living? better? with or beyond cancer-Dr. M. Laura Nasi presents a new way of looking at how we view and treat cancer. With current advances in medicine, we're learning more about the ways different aspects of our lives and health impact and interact with one another-why does one long-term smoker get diagnosed with stage-4 lung cancer while another remains cancer-free? Why does someone exposed to a known carcinogen get sick while someone else is apparently immune? What seemingly unrelated factors end up playing key roles in disease etiology, progression, and prognosis? In this well-researched, inspiring, and easy-to-read guide, Dr. Nasi offers an integrative, whole-person approach to cancer, and explains how it is a systemic disease manifesting a global condition locally. Conventional medicine focuses on attacking malignant cells. Integrative medicine encourages chemo and radiation when necessary, while also focusing on a patient's internal balance to help halt the disease. Nasi draws on the latest research on the PNIE (psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrine) network to help our systems recognize, repair, or eliminate the cancer cells, focusing on nutrition, stress management, exercise, adequate sleep, healthy relationships, and other body/mind/spirit modalities. Dr. Nasi encourages patients to become empowered agents of their own care.

Why Doctors Are Killing You
John Hildreth Atkins is a certified genius with more than sixty books to his credit. When this man speaks, people listen. Among his many accomplishments, he has expounded on domestic violence, quantum physics, and exposed organized crime in several books, including Prosecuting the Prosecution (which was instrumental in getting an innocent man out of prison) and A Jew Hides Well (an expose that shows who actually killed JFK and why. In this latter book, he used forensics to prove Oswald was totally innocent. In addition, Oswald had vertigo so bad he could not even look down...let alone shoot at anything. No shots were fired from the Texas School Book depository building; they were fired from he fourth floor of the Dal-Tex building across the street. In this book, he does a remarkable job of exposing the corruption that has everyone trembling like newborn babies. At a thousand dollars a shot, of course they want you to get several. Mo' money. But covid is not killing people; underlying conditions are. After reading this, you will never look at the government, or doctors, the same way again. At fifteen, his I.Q. was rated in excess of 187. Having read this book, I can see why. The man is amazing. If there is a quirk to this publication, it is his self-professed antisemitism. In his words: "God has no need for a chosen anything," and it is time for people to stop accepting that as an excuse. If your doctor has prescribed more than five pills, you might want to read this book. Covid deaths? If you were getting paid thirty thousand dollars to say a patient died of covid, wouldn't you say it? Why not? Finally, John explains how the Earth was formed, global warming, and the impending doom hanging over mankind. If you bought the book for no other reason, this one thing is well worth any price. Unbelievable? But true. What are you waiting for?

Floating in the Deep End
"For the decade of my father's illness, I felt as if I was floating in the deep end, tossed by waves, carried by currents, but not drowning," writes Patti Davis in this searingly honest and deeply moving account of the challenges involved in taking care of someone stricken with Alzheimer's.When her father, the fortieth president of the United States, announced his Alzheimer's diagnosis in an address to the American public in 1994, the world had not yet begun speaking about this cruel, mysterious disease. Yet overnight, Ronald Reagan and his immediate family became the face of Alzheimer's, and Davis, once content to keep her family at arm's length, quickly moved across the country to be present during "the journey that would take [him] into the sunset of [his] life."Empowered by all she learned from caring for her father--about the nature of the illness, but also about the loss of a parent--Davis founded a support group for the family members and friends of Alzheimer's patients. Along with a medically trained cofacilitator, she met with hundreds of exhausted and devastated attendees to talk through their pain and confusion. While Davis was aware that her own circumstances were uniquely fortunate, she knew there were universal truths about dementia, and even surprising gifts to be found in a long goodbye.With Floating in the Deep End, Davis draws on a welter of experiences to provide a singular account of battling Alzheimer's. Eloquently woven with personal anecdotes and helpful advice tailored specifically for the overlooked caregiver, this essential guide covers every potential stage of the disease from the initial diagnosis through the ultimate passing and beyond. Including such tips as how to keep a loved one hygienic, and careful responses for when they drift to a time gone by, Davis always stresses the emotional milestones that come with slow-burning grief.Along the way, Davis shares how her own fractured family came together. With unflinching candor, she recalls when her mother, Nancy, who for decades could not show her children compassion or vulnerability, suddenly broke down in her arms. Davis also offers tender moments in which her father, a fabled movie star whom she always longed to know better, revealed his true self--always kind, even when he couldn't recognize his own daughter.An inherently wise work that promises to become a classic, Floating in the Deep End ultimately provides hope to struggling families while elegantly illuminating the fragile human condition.
How to Stay Motivated
What drives you when you get out of bed in the morning? What is motivation? Motivation is defined as the process that guides, initiates, and maintains your goal-oriented behaviors. Without motivation, there would be nothing urging you to take the next step forward. The right motivation can ignite your tenacity, and that is a very powerful thing. "How to Stay Motivated" is the driving force that will fuel you to take action, even when you're reluctant and don't want to do it because it's hard. The mark of truly successful people is when they dig deep and find that willpower to do the things they don't want to do, and this is a skill that can be harnessed with 7 easy steps. Motivation can lead to the accomplishment of incredible feats. Achieving any kind of goal (big or small) requires the ability to persist through obstacles and have the endurance to keep going in spite of the difficulties. Everyone wants to harness the power of motivation, but sometimes we fall into a rut that we struggle to get out of. Why? Because we don't have the right strategies needed to initiate effective and lasting change. YOU WILL LEARN: - How to switch your routines in 7 easy steps. - How to boost your productivity. - How to tap into the power of reading. - Why it's important to stop wasting time. - Why building self-discipline is going to make a difference. - Why decluttering your environment will boost your motivation. - The habits of highly successful and organized people. The outcome of your life is determined by the habits you have. It's not the number on the scale, the bank account, or the test scores that need to be changed. It's your habits. Obstacles are always going to exist, but if you know how to overcome them, nothing can stand in your way or rob you of your motivation to get things done.
Mom and Dementia and Me
This book is the personal memoir of a daughter who discovers and tries to manage the onset of Lewy body dementia in her mother. Written in clear English by a layperson, it is not technical or scientific. Instead, it highlights the daughter's own experiences and lessons learned-as well as the mistakes-as she embarks on an unwelcome journey. The aim of the book is to help others who suddenly find themselves in the role of caregiver, especially those who have little training or experience with dementia patients. It discusses issues such as recognizing the early symptoms of dementia, how to adapt the home to support the person suffering from dementia, and how to secure and manage the services of medical doctors, home health care workers, and hospice nurses. It describes coping with the frightening symptoms of the disease, such as psychotic episodes, as well as some of the less serious side effects, such as brief memory losses. It also emphasizes the power and the importance of humor when one is faced with a deadly disease. Lewy body dementia kills about 250,000 people a year in the United States. There is no cure. This book is candid and supportive in its discussion of how to prepare for the end.
Diagnosis Female
Why do so many women have trouble getting effective and compassionate medical treatment? Diagnosis Female examines this widespread problem, with a focus on misdiagnosis and gender bias. The book zeroes in on specialties where women are more likely to encounter particularly troubling roadblocks: cardiology, neurology, chronic diseases and obstetrics/gynecology. All too often, when doctors can't figure out what is going on, women receive a diagnosis from the "all in her head" column -- this pattern is even worse for women of color, who may face significant challenges in medical settings. Throughout the work, Emily Dwass profiles women whose stories illustrate how medical practitioners often dismiss their claims or disregard their symptoms. Because women were excluded from important medical research for centuries, doctors don't always recognize that male symptoms and female symptoms can vary from issue to issue. Even today, most diagnostic tests and treatment plans are based on studies done on men. Throughout the book, women state that their voices do not matter, or worse, their concerns are greeted with skepticism or simply ignored when they seek help. The results can be devastating and long-lasting. Examining the bias inherent in the system, Dwass offers measures women can take to protect their health and receive better care. She offers advice, too, for the medical community in addressing the problem, so that outcomes can improve all around. If you're a woman, and you seek medical care, this book is a must-read. Your health depends upon it.

Bladder Cancer Stories
A Cancer diagnosis challenges and changes you and the people who care for you in very many ways. Strangely, not all of them are bad. I don't believe you are powerless in the face of even the most devastating news. We are all going to die, that's for sure but, like almost everyone, I'm dedicated to holding that day off as long as possible. The hard work was done by the surgeons and oncologists of course. I could honour their efforts by doing my best to live a long and happy life. I had the feeling that if I'd put those damaging system overloads which contributed to my cancer in, I stood a chance of at least partly taking them back out. It doesn't matter whether that's true or whether anyone believes that there's any scientific basis in these beliefs. Some people pray to their gods for a good outcome ... I was prepared to make changes. This is my story from a desperate search for answers through diagnosis, Radical Cystectomy and Chemotherapy. It's a story with a happy ending because I'm here to write it nearly 5 years later. Your diagnosis may be different, your treatment plan may be different but I hope you find some reassurance in these pages. And I hope you find the medical help and the love and support that you need. If you have blood in your urine and even mild discomfort run, don't walk, and ask your doctor for a blood test, a scan and cystoscopy.
No Magic for ME
I was in my early thirties when I fell ill with myalgic encephalomyelitis. It's extraordinary that one of my main pointers to recovery came in a leaflet from the ME Association, where it acknowledged that while there is no known medical cure, the patients who make the best recovery have paid attention to their diet!Since then, over thirty years ago, I got better relatively fast. However, the ME Association has become a far bigger concern, since it still insists there is no cure for the condition. It produces a quarterly magazine full of information, but still promises no way to get better.I relate my own experiences, discussing how hard it has been to be with those who are unable to comprehend my long illness, which lasted between two and three years before I achieved wellness independently of the medical profession.There were many months when I had no idea what my condition was, and I was confused. Even after diagnosis, I remained ill, getting worse until I could hardly walk. Then a gift arrived from an auntie. It was a bundle of books, some of which were about good nutrition.Information from the ME Association fell into place. I devised a better diet, took care of myself, and began to recover. I struggled with the recovery process and kept on researching. I learned the value of vitamins and an important process related to repetitive eating.I was able to return to activities such as swimming and horse riding, but most wonderful of all, I could care for my two small sons without needing help.Lisette Skeet grew up in the village of Great Horkesley, near Colchesterin Essex. "I live in a quiet corner of Halstead, Essex now, and I love the scene at the front of my house where there is a green space and a duck pond surrounded by foliage. I can watch mallards, coots, magpies, pigeons, squirrels, and an occasional visiting muntjac deer." She is a counsellor, including grief counselling, and a dog behavioural therapist

I'll Sing Again Tomorrow
What do you do when a person you love starts forgetting dates, missing reminders, or not even recognizing who you are? And that person is your own beloved mother? You take a deep breath and begin seeking those moments of memory to keep her the way she was while loving her for the way she is. This is what Rene Terry Mucci did after her spirited, strong, and independent Moma was diagnosed with dementia. I'll Sing Again Tomorrow is the memoir of a daughter as she and her mother navigate their journey with dementia, caregiving, and their shifting relationship. This lively book of mini-essays and photos offers snapshots of both heartbreaking situations and hilarious moments with tenderness, honesty, warmth, and grace. This is a must-read if you're a family caregiver of someone with dementia-and it is an acknowledgment of how exhausting it can be to serve as their connection to life. But I'll Sing Again also lovingly reassures that you're not alone in your tears, grief, laughter, and faith, and that you will both sing again.

Jack's Diabetes
Diabetes is not just a word to 12 year old Jack. It has changed the way he lives his life. Jack has learned not to just cope with a disease but he has learned he can live his life the way he wants while successfully treating his diabetes. This book was inspired by a young man I met who was just becoming acclimated to his insulin pump and diabetes. I gathered from our conversation that he was shocked to discover kids could have diabetes. In addition it appeared that his peers were equally uninformed about diabetes and the variety of treatments available. This book's goal is to help elementary age children better understand diabetes and its treatment.
How To Do The Work
Have you ever wondered why no matter how much time you end up working, that your paycheck never seems to rise? That your income and finance seems to be stagnant? Or have you ever wondered, for those of you who have ventured into creating a second or third stream of income on the side, that you might actually spend lesser on those activities and earn a bigger income in proportion to the time you actually spent to run those side businesses? Life is a marathon, not a sprint. If we sprint through life, we will miss all the amazing sights along the way. We will miss the fine details that make the journey worth taking. Similarly, our personal development and growth is also a marathon, not a sprint. We should all keep that in perspective when we approach any new project or endeavour. Only then can we truly make a lasting difference in the areas of our lives that matters to us most. I challenge you to work harder than everybody else around you and have an insane work ethic. Grind it out every single day, put in the hours that is necessary until you succeed and work your face off. Dont settle for anything less and remove distractions that suck out your time. If you outwork everyone every single day, you will eventually come out on top no matter how talented your competition might be. Just give it your best and never give up.
