How to Live and Die Without Regrets by Frank Bond How to Live and Die Without Regrets by Frank Bond April 09, 2012 $1.99 21991 words
Author bio:
I am a retired teacher and live with my wife, Mary, and some of our children (it varies how many we have at home at any one time) near Liverpool, England. I used to collect stories for use in school, hopefully to encourage and spur the students to make the best of themselves. Having retired I have this huge collection of anecdotes and no more students to encourage. That is why I have used some of them in this book. The people about whom I have written may show all of us how to live a better life, without regrets. Frank Bond.

Author bio:
As an award-winning TV producer/director residing in New Orleans, Blow witnessed first hand the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Deeply affected by the untimely deaths of several close friends and family members in the years following the storm, he determined to change course and pursue a more meaningful path in his life. Long a student of the inner journey, George found that making contentment his number one priority did not land him in a monastery or on top of a lonely mountain, but on the contrary made him much more productive and prosperous. He now speaks on the importance and practicality of an experience of unconditional peace. "An experience of peace is the most practical thing there is. It helps you eliminate waste, perform at your peak and usher worldly prosperity into your life. More than that, it fulfills every human being's fundamental desire to enjoy and appreciate this life as a gift." GRB

Eric M. Watterson was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. Even with his parents’ direction, he began to notice how little information was available to help him avoid some of the common mistakes of growing up. He would often spend time alone thinking about “why” he made certain mistakes and “how” to avoid making them again. After finishing High School in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, college in Bridgeport Connecticut and film school in Los Angeles California, he began offer advice and information to anyone who would listen. The oldest of three kids, he learned early in life to think of others first, beginning with his younger brother and sister. From there the desire developed more and more to help others whenever he could. After finding a strong sense of satisfaction from helping those who would listen inside his personal circle with their concerns, he wanted to help others outside his personal circle with their concerns as well. Oftentimes close friends and coworkers needed help with personal issues and would confide in Eric. He found a great sense of satisfaction when they would follow his advice and see positive results. This inspired him to write, “The Power of Touch Workbook” which was intended for his close male friends who just didn’t seem to know how to relate to their wives and girlfriends. As time went on, he began to want to help more and more people. From there ConsiderThis.tv was born with the focus of offering ideas which are intended to help. As Eric continues to move forward, he hopes that he can continue to impact one person at a time with information that will help them enjoy life and relate more effectively with the people that are important.

The Organic Mind by Michael Morel The Organic Mind by Michael Morel Sep. 08, 2011 $1.99 50498 words Sample 15%
Author bio:
What’s the difference between the Traditional Mind and the Organic Mind? Put simply, the former has boundaries and the latter has complete freedom. Not only does The Organic Mind reveal what you need to embrace this energy; it also tells you how to do it. This book is the result of more than thirty years’ research by a curious mind. The formula is so simple that you can reach this state of mind with your eyes shut. Michael Morel began writing in 2000 when he discovered the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle he had been putting together all his life. Twenty-five years earlier he had asked the question: God, what is life all about? In his desire to share this knowledge with others, he has written a number of books and manuals on the subject of life. A short business trip to Australia from his home country of New Zealand resulted in a stay of more than thirty years. A carpenter, builder and part-time draftsman, he has used his skills in planning and logic to put together his writings in the hope that they will benefit others. He is a Guinness World Record Holder for speaking skills (the world’s longest lecture on life, 1999), a storyteller and a proficient guest speaker.

The Unmotivated Collection by David Stoddard The Unmotivated Collection by David Stoddard Dec. 25, 2009 $1.99 25122 words Sample 30%
Author bio:
What can I tell you about myself that won't have you running out to the kitchen searching for overly-caffeinated coffee just to make it through this page? I'm an introverted, indecisive Gemini, who loves procrastination, thinking about thinking about getting things done, and having Weird Al Yankovic as my rolling model. While Al and myself look nothing alike, I like to feel we have things in common. We both have a rather off the wall sense of humor that we share. (just wish he would let me borrow it more often). He has way more hair than I do. He has millions of fans and he can play the accordion. Ummm. ok, so we don't have that much in common as I previously thought. But back to the about me stuff. As for where the Unmotivated Motivational Writer came along? Like so many other things, it just happened. There was no plan, no idea, nothing appeared to me in a dream or while I was rearranging the letters in my alphabet soup. The title itself seemed to fit me perfectly. It connected my unmotivatedness beautifully with my ability to write fairly okie dokie. And maybe this helps prove the old saying. If you truly want to learn something, stand up in the basement as if you are giving a presentation and bore the living daylights out of your collection of stuffed animals and imaginary friends with your never-ending ramblings about a given topic until you start understanding just what you are talking about. You get the point. After a few years of doing that on my own, the stuffed animals moved away and I was left with the seemingly necessary need to search for an audience. Hey! Build a web site (said all of the experts in the world on online stuff). Like the voice in Field of Dreams said, if you build it, they will come bringing fried rice and a pizza. I'm still waiting for the pizza. So I did. And after a few years, djstoddard.net evolved into a page where I could reinvent it every few weeks (ala Madonna). Funny thing is despite the reinventions, nothing really changed. The focus, the glamor, the photogs hounding me for secret pictures of me out of the EZchair and in a fast food restaurant never changed. So I decided to do come here and funny things up a bit. Get away from the whole serious motivational, self-improvement, guidance, teaching, preaching, yelling (can you do that while typing) and trying to inspire folks to get off their butts and do something. I found out that it pretty tough for a guy who is seen always sitting on his butt to tell others to get off theirs. Something about that just doesn't work. So now this is why the rambling portion with silly bits and pieces of stuff are tossed out there in ebooks, postings, the occasional video and greeting cards comes in. And yes, it's still motivational and self-improvementy. It's just in a completely semi-different style and image ya may not be used to. Hopefully enjoyable, useful and provides the necessary restroom reading material you may have wished for during the current century. So thank you for your time (for those who have made it to the end of this about me thingy, that shows dedication or a need of a hobby). And thanks also for sharing this moment with me. Now get out there, get off your butt, get a life, get a job, get a hobby and get outta your own way. :-) Sincerely, I mean it. --David

I was born in Elmhurst, IL but the important years of my life were spent in Glen Ellyn where I also attended high school.

I began my writing career with very bad poetry, which I abandoned for art in other forms, and then abandoned that in turn to write short stories and novels. I live each day like it is my first and last. I have a job that pays the bills, pay taxes that don't really benefit my life, and live in a world I desperately wish I could change.

Author bio:
The Brutally Honest system is the sum of the authors’ life experiences, work, passion, and the obstacles we have overcome. We designed a system to combat the type of failure experienced with mainstream self-help products. Brutally Honest consists of a revolutionary three-step process. As you work your way through this journal, you will also work your way through the three Brutally Honest steps. In the first step, you will begin by narrowing in on, defining, and creating a crystal-clear picture of what it is you need and not what society says you need. This is the critical difference, what has transformed the lives of the authors’ countless clients, family members, and friends. Step one, the Breakdown Phase, will lead you through an intense yet magical journey into the deepest reaches of your being, where you will ultimately reach your Soul’s Core. It is at this magical and illusive place where individuals are finally alone with their thoughts, where stereotypes don’t exist, peer pressure is gone, and guilt, marketing, and social pressures all disappear. Only once you arrive at Soul’s Core will you be ready to develop your individual and personal Brutally Honest Target Zones®. Target Zones are your personalized goals, which form figurative targets that you seek out, aim for, and unite with. Once you are at the Soul’s Core, the Brutally Honest system moves into overdrive in assisting you to clearly define your Brutally Honest Life Management Systems®. Step two of the Brutally Honest system, unlike most self-help programs, incorporates all areas of your life and transcends to your family, friends, and associates by way of the positive energy that emanates from you. The Brutally Honest system is designed not only to be implemented by you but also to impact anyone else with whom you choose to share your newfound gifts. Whether it be a Family Law client who will now need to plan for their, and their Children’s new futures, or any other individual getting ready to combat any one of life’s many obstacles, Step two helps them gain clarity in defining these most crucial decisions and to chart a path to their attainment. It is through clarity where fear starts to be eliminated as one’s goals becomes more readily attainable. Most programs find one family member attending an all-day or weekend seminar and coming home hyped-up and motivated. His or her family, however, not having gone through the same experience, is not able to fully appreciate what that person went through and doesn’t experience the same feelings. The authors have determined that one key component to creating a fulfilling life is the unity of the family. Using the Brutally Honest system generates true communication, perhaps for the first time in years, and families are energized in a common goal. Lastly, once the life plan is solidified, step three, the journey to Utopia, begins. This journey to Utopia is an ongoing process to not only reach the goals set in one’s Brutally Honest Life Plan but also to learn the critical skills of self-evaluation as the journey unfolds. Most programs teach one how to set and achieve goals. While this is admirable, the reality is that no plan can be left unchecked. In the process of transcending through the Brutally Honest Life Plan, you will be taught how to define, evaluate, re-evaluate, and continue to improve your life. Most self-help systems end with the individual attempting to achieve his or her predetermined goals. We recognized, after years of practice and teaching, that things change in the real world-and change quickly. With the Brutally Honest program you are about to embark on, you will learn the skill of adaptation and develop the mind frame to react quickly to life’s curve balls. You will be ready and able to spread the word to others. One of the most rewarding activities we can do is to mentor others and make a real difference in someone’s life. Frankly, that is the reason Brutally Honest exists. Utopia is the never-ending pursuit of excellence measured by the satisfaction of living life to the fullest. -Gregory LaMonaca By undertaking the exercises throughout this journal and recording and writing down your answers, you will be able to measure where you have been, where you are presently, and where you want to go. This self-analysis forms the basis of Brutally Honest.
