Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: If you feel like the professional juggler, multitasking and wishing for three extra pairs of hands, a new brain or if you are plotting to order a couple of clones of yourself, this book is meant for you. Leading under Pressure summarizes the many challenges executives, professionals, entrepreneurs, and road-warriors face in the current fast-paced corporate craze, where exceptional expectations are the norm, but where there is little guidance in how to do it all, perfectly well, and at once.

Q: What is the book about?
A: Millions around the world are thinking, planning, and scheming about how to stretch a 24-hour day into an endless and productive workday. Many face the daily quandary of finding new ways to thrive in order to achieve higher goals, with increased competition, progressively limited resources, and the same manpower. Burnt-out, energy-depleted, or constantly stressed, many find themselves unable to take pleasure in their hard-earned position. Leading under Pressure describes the well being and stress continue to assist people identify their current situation. It addresses pressure points to help people lead more effectively in times of crisis and it addresses strategies to assist people maximize peak performance and productivity while maximizing health and well being.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: Many executives and entrepreneurs who visited me as a physician or coach were complaining of stress and burn-out when they were actually ill. They were already experiencing medical problems, depression, and anxiety triggered my incredible amounts of endless stress. Our health care system was not addressing this need. On the other end, as an executive coach, many were visiting me to help them produce at their max yet, unless they were in a healthy state, the business strategies would work half way. As a medical doctor, clinical researcher, board certified psychiatrist, MBA, lecturer, executive coach, and corporate consultant, I have an extensive toolbox to address and help improve these issues. My forte is a unique combination of knowledge, experience, and an intuitive deductive ability brought to the service of those in need. Additionally, having experienced the challenges and benefits of raising a great family while working in different settings including Corporate America and within my own business, this added insights leading to the creation of practical and effective strategies that work.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: Leading under Pressure is unique in that it integrates business concepts such as productivity and performance in the workplace with health concepts to maximize well-being on an individual and organizational basis. This integrative and comprehensive approach is unique, as leadership in business has been traditionally addressed as a business issue and wellness strategies have rarely been connected to high productivity from a standpoint of well-being. In general, the healthcare industry has only addressed productivity issues only as they relate to ill people struggling with getting their work done. Instead, Leading under Pressure not only addresses strategies for those who are not healthy and in the process of improving to those who are healthy and working on performing and producing at their next level.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Readers of Leading under Pressure have shared with me they have enjoyed reading the book more than once. They like “carrying it around” to re-read during their travels. This, they say, allows them to internalize the concepts and put them into practice with deeper understanding. The book provides for practical tips to continue to improve, making it a continuous effort rather than a one-time deal. Everyone who feels like she or he is doing more with less will find practical strategies to address issues on a personal, professional, and organizational level.

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Any cancer patient, caregiver or loved one related to a cancer patient or anyone who wants to avoid cancer.

Q: What is the book about?
A: Cancer is easy to reverse. All people need is information. They are not going to get it from their cancer doctors. There is just too much potential income for the cancer “industry” from each cancer patient. The only place they are going to get complete information on their options (beyond chemotherapy, radiation and surgery) is
from books, websites and newsletters which cover “alternative” cancer healing methods which can’t be patented.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: After losing my former wife to ovarian cancer in 1994 (actually to the treatment she received), I embarked on a mission to save as many people as possible from her fate. Starting in 1998, when I became aware of the vast amount of information available on the Internet about alternative healing methods for cancer, I began studying them. Every day since then, I have studied and written about cancer treatment. Through my three books, 113 newsletters, 35 workshops all over the country, and dozens of teleseminars and radio interviews, I have been able to help over 2,000 people recover from cancer — all types, all stages. Most of these people have discussed my regimen with me on the phone or by e-mail. About 94% of the people I counsel this way have become “cancer-free.” I now host a radio show called “How to Live Cancer-Free.” It is on the web ( http://www.WebTalkRadio.net) and two radio stations for four hours a week. My biweekly “Cancer-Free” newsletter is free. It is read by 9,500 subscribers in 59 countries. In short, I know more than just about anybody alive the “answer to cancer.” The same regimen I recommend to reverse it is effective in avoiding cancer. I know. I will be 76 in January 2008 and I am in perfect health. I do the regimen I recommend every day for prevention of cancer and all other degenerative conditions.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: Of all the cancer books I’ve read, mine is the only one which recommends a specific diet and supplement regimen which has worked to heal over 2,000 cancer patients. With feedback from my readers and from other cancer experts I have gradually perfected a combination which works for just about any person, any cancer, any stage.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: The audience for this information is huge. BookLocker, my “print-on-demand” publisher, publishes over 1,000 books currently. My book has been at the top of their “best-seller” list since the week after they first published it in June, 2007. I also offer coaching to people who have read my book. This can be by phone or e-mail — their choice.

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Adults, particularly those interested in travel and road trips.

Q: What is the book about?
A: Told through journal entries, dreams, and emailed travelogues – with an occasional recipe tossed in – this heartwarming story of one woman’s midlife search for Home winds through terrain both personal and public. From the Pacific Northwest to the Canadian Rockies, from Yellowstone to Maine and west again through Santa Fe, Claire describes the inner and outer landscapes with poetic honesty and subtle humor. This book is a beacon to all who step into uncertainty in search of where they belong.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: This story is autobiographical. As the person who took the journey, I am best suited to write about it.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: How many 40-year-old women leave everything they know, become voluntarily unemployed and homeless, to travel 15,000 miles, solo, in search of where they belong? And then how many of those publish a book about their journey?

Each journey is unique, with experiences seen through that person’s eyes. This one is special not only because it’s a woman traveling alone, but because of the way it is told (through journal entries, dreams, and emailed letters). In many ways, it follows the arc of the classic “hero’s journey.” In fact, one reviewer wrote: “Joseph Campbell once said that there are really only two stories: A hero sets out on a journey and A stranger comes to town. Claire Josefine tells both stories in this slender in-search-of odyssey. Claire’s keen eye for the beauty of small things in the natural world and her willingness to disclose doubts, fears, joys, and humble triumphs along the way, leaves the reader with the distinct sensation of having come along on her solitary journey. This lovely little read will have you thinking about what “home” really means. Curl up and enjoy a ramble from the comfort of your corner of the world. (Carla Baku — Freelance writer, poet)

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Readers keep writing to me with the same response: Thank you for writing this book. I’m having a hard time putting it down!
