Question: Who is the intended Audience?
Answer: This book is a very valuable tool for anyone who wants to improve his or her life and act responsibly to make changes happen.

It provides the essentials for every aspect of life, be it personal health, finance, love, aging, family, youth, interpersonal relationships, spirituality. etc. Women and minorities can also find the book very helpful.

It is a compact, easy-to- read, self help for anyone who is tired of the status quo and wants to engage on the road towards a meaningful life.

Q: What is the book about?
A: It is about stopping the restless “rat race,” taking inventory of one’s life, defining one’s life purpose, identifying the steps to be taken and engaging oneself on the road to make it.

The book encourages a positive mind set with no-frills, no fake promises, and no excuses. It emphasizes that there is no “miracle cure” towards success, but one steady constant that is oneself. The reader is embarked on a journey to improve not only his or her life but also his or her surroundings. It provides the basic necessities for reaching one’s goals. Success is not compartmentalized, not limited to one demographic. The book leads to holistic success. It is hard not to find a chapter or several chapters that apply to the reader.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: Born in one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere, the author came into the USA with “a small suitcase and a head full of dreams”. He has a BS in management, a Bachelors in Theology, a Masters in Economy and a Doctorate in Medicine. He has been a practicing neurologist for over 10 years and the spiritual leader of a community based church for 15 years. Through it all, he has experienced and dealt with people with grief, suffering, rejection, loss, emotional disturbance, physical illnesses, discrimination and abuses. This book is the result of many years of real life study and experiences to see what works and what does not work.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: This book takes a revolutionary approach to the word success. As a neurologist, the author believes everyone was born to succeed. So he wants to change the mind to endure the road for success as a life time commitment. Then he points out the actions needed to set a solid foundation for success in the key areas of one’s life. The book allows room for anyone to find fuel, preparation and guidelines to full personal accomplishment by getting rid of all excuses and myths of why one cannot make it.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: The biggest challenge in one’s life is to overcome the myths, misconceptions and limits set by the society. The biggest handicap to success is one self. Once the mind set is freed from the negative ideas, the fears of failing, then everyone can change the old approach, adopt a positive attitude and embrace changes that can have a positive impact in one’s life.

The No Nonsense Approach to a Successful Life is a great book for people to live by!

Mindfulness And The Art Of Choice: Transform Your Life, By Karen H. Sherman, Ph.D.

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR Leader | June 23rd, 2008

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: This book is intended for anyone who realizes that their life is not bringing them the joy and satisfaction desired. Though it is likely to appeal to those at midlife who are questioning the meaning of their lives, it is truly applicable to anyone who is self-reflective.

Q: What is the book about?
A: Each person is entitled to have “the good life.” Most don’t experience this because they are caught up in reacting and continually recycling old patterns that keep them stuck and emotionally frozen. By practicing the simple tools in this book, the reader will learn how to live mindfully and create a great life.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: Not only am I a psychologist in private practice, but I have had a personal journey that was quite difficult. From my own life, I realized that one does not have to be a prisoner to their past. The tools in this book are ones I’ve used — to help myself and others. Old knee-jerk reactions can be changed and emotional wounds can be healed. I lived it and I teach it and know what works.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: You need to do more than just talk in order to make changes that will really last. Talking gives you understanding. The tools in this book enable you to work with the raw feelings and heal them.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: You can change the way you have been doing things — even the things that have been automatic. The feedback from others has been overwhelmingly positive because it works.
