Having the Last Say
by Alan GelbRenowned writing coach Alan Gelb shows baby boomers how to create "last says"--short personal narratives that serve as a powerful form of life review. As the baby-boomer generation ages, its members are looking ahead to the biggest challenge of all: making sense of life in its third act. Having the Last Say takes life review out of the realm of memoir writing and journaling--making the rich and timeless tradition of authentic storytelling accessible to those who have never considered themselves "writers." In creating "legacies" in the form of short personal narratives, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the people, actions, and events that have shaped your life and your values, and to share these stories with those who matter most. Gelb's reassuring and straightforward advice will help you every step of the way, from identifying an engaging topic to employing creative writing techniques to construct a compelling story.
Investor Therapy: A Psychologist and Investing Guru Tells You How to Out-psych Wall Street
by Richard GeistIf your investing strategy has relied on the facts--financial statements, annual reports, technical charts, and so on--congratulations! You're on the way to becoming a successful, complete investor. But you're only partway there. If the markets are about mood swings, turbulence, and uncertainty, if the herd buys like crazy one day, only to sell off the next, doesn't it make sense for you to have a grip on the way in which your individual psychological makeup and emotional state affect your investing strategy? Doesn't the complete investor need to understand both the facts in his head and the emotions of his heart?Dr. Richard Geist has combined the art and science of the seemingly unrelated fields of psychology and investing. He shows that investing success means both having and using solid information and expertly understanding, monitoring, and managing your emotions. This is the first book directed at professional and individual investors alike, illustrating how they can use emotions to become more effective at meeting the ever-increasing challenges of today's investing environment. Dr. Geist's coverage is stimulating and wide-ranging, including topics such as:*Recognizing emotional reactions such as confidence and anxiety as clues to making investment decisions*Avoiding the most common psychological investment mistakes*Analyzing your psychological risk quotient*Reacting appropriately when you're caught in a stampeding herd*Learning how patience--or the lack of it--influences investing decisions*Responding in psychologically healthy ways to losing money in the market*Gaining the psychological skills you need to sell a stock and learning why these skills differ from those needed when making a buy decision *Understanding the psychological needs of management while obtaining useful, valid information for making informed investing decisionsConventional wisdom says "park your emotions at the door when making investing decisions." Dr. Geist brings a new, important perspective to show that the conventional wisdom is not only wrong but harmful to your financial well-being. Success lies in understanding your emotional reactions to the market and its participants and integrating an emotional understanding of yourself into your investing strategies. The successful investor is, above all, a human investor, not a "perfect" machine-like investor.From the Hardcover edition.
Lake of the Ozarks: My Surreal Summers in a Vanishing America
by Bill GeistBefore there was "tourism" and souvenir ashtrays became "kitsch," the Lake of the Ozarks was a Shangri-La for middle-class Midwestern families on vacation, complete with man-made beaches, Hillbilly Mini Golf, and feathered rubber tomahawks. <P><P> It was there that author Bill Geist spent summers in the Sixties during his school and college years working at Arrowhead Lodge-a small resort owned by his bombastic uncle-in all areas of the operation, from cesspool attendant to bellhop. What may have seemed just a summer job became, upon reflection, a transformative era where a cast of eccentric, small-town characters and experiences shaped (some might suggest "slightly twisted") Bill into the man he is today. <P><P>He realized it was this time in his life that had a direct influence on his sensibilities, his humor, his writing, and ultimately a career searching the world for other such untamed creatures for the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times, and CBS News. <P><P>In LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Emmy Award-winning CBS Sunday Morning Correspondent Bill Geist reflects on his coming of age in the American Heartland and traces his evolution as a man and a writer. He shares laugh-out-loud anecdotes and tongue-in-cheek observations guaranteed to evoke a strong sense of nostalgia for "the good ol' days." <P><P>Written with Geistian wit and warmth, LAKE OF THE OZARKS takes readers back to a bygone era, and demonstrates how you can find inspiration in the most unexpected places. <P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

The Return of Planet Sedna: Astrology, Healing, and the Awakening of Cosmic Kundalini
by Jennifer T. GehlReveals how the return of the planet Sedna after 11,000 years offers an opportunity for healing ourselves and our planet • Explores how the Inuit legend of the sea woman Sedna offers clues about the message of Sedna’s return, including a warning about the sustainability of our planet • Explains how Kundalini energy courses through planets and people alike and how planetary transits activate a form of cosmic Kundalini energy, with Sedna’s planetary return marking a major stage in this awakening process • Details how Sedna’s energies can be harnessed for healing ourselves and our planet, including how Earth’s ley lines are mirrored within the body’s meridians Named after a mythological Inuit sea woman, the planet Sedna was first discovered in 2003. Its return to our solar system after 11,000 years of orbit has been tied to the huge tsunami that struck Indonesia, Thailand, and India in 2004 as well as to the increased occurrence of other marine and weather events over the last decade. And just as it is affecting the waters of our planet, Sedna’s energies are also affecting each of us as individuals. Exploring the impact that planetary bodies have on Earth and on humans, Jennifer Gehl reveals how Sedna’s energies can be worked with for healing ourselves, others, and the planet. She explains how the naming of this planet after the archetypal figure of Sedna--and her myths--provides major clues to the message that Sedna’s return is sending: a clear warning about the sustainability of the planet and the oceans, the source of all life, and an invitation to awaken to the parts of ourselves that have been ignored, abandoned, and cast out into the cold, just as Sedna was when she was drown in the Arctic Ocean. The author examines the astrological chart for Sedna’s discovery, providing an in-depth look at how certain aspects, particularly the quincunx, support the legend of Sedna and its impact on human health. She looks at how Kundalini energy courses through planets and people alike and how planetary transits activate a form of cosmic Kundalini energy, with Sedna’s return marking a major stage in this awakening process. She reveals how Earth’s ley lines are mirrored within the body’s meridians and offer a way to tune ourselves to the cosmic frequencies that Sedna brings. Examining the story of Sedna mythologically and astrologically, Gehl explains how Sedna’s last appearance 11,000 years ago occurred at the end of the Ice Age when waters disrupted and divided our world. Her return, rather than being a harbinger of disaster, is one of the way-shower and shaman. Symbolically, she lights the path for us to ignite our own immortality by surrendering to the inner path, revealing patterns and pathways for infinite healing potential, a new model of sustainability for the health of our planet, and a way to actively participate in our soul’s evolution.

The Enlightened Smoker's Guide to Quitting
by Bear Jack GebhardtThis revolutionary approach to smoking cessation is based on the premise that a smoker is more likely to kick the habit if he feels good about himself. When a smoker understands why he commenced smoking, and why smoking no longer delivers the same sense of pleasure and satisfaction it used to, the process of quitting begins. A state of mind called "pleasurable forgetfulness" makes the smoker less interested in smoking while absorbed in other activities. This proven but unorthodox method does not foster the shame and guilt so prevalent in other programs and succeeds where more traditional approaches have failed, producing smoke-free success for thousands of former smokers.

by Liliana Gebel¿Por qué hay tantos cristianos deprimidos, enfermos y obesos si la Biblia contiene todas las claves para evitarlo? Este busca ayudar al lector con los fundamentos y sugerencias para equilibrar el cuerpo, el corazón, la mente y el alma, logrando amar a Dios de manera integral y coherente. Tras casi tres décadas dedicadas a trabajar en el ministerio cristiano, junto a su esposo, el evangelista Dante Gebel, Liliana Gebel se percató de que lamentablemente muchas personas dedicadas a desarrollar arduamente su parte espiritual, viven sumidos en la depresión, mostrando actitudes negativas, relaciones familiares deterioradas y con graves problemas de salud. Y es que muchos cristianos han olvidado hacerse cargo de trabajar en ellos mismos de manera integral, tal como la propia Biblia nos insta. #Señor, ¿cuál es el mandamiento mas importante de todos? Jesús respondió: El más importante es amarás al Señor con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma, con toda tu mente, y con toda tu fuerza. Este es el principal mandamiento.# (Marcos 12:28) Él nos manda a amarlo de cuatro maneras; digamos que es el amor elevado a la cuarta potencia.

El amor en los tiempos del Facebook: El mensaje de los viernes
by Dante GebelLo que comenzó con algunas publicaciones en el perfil público del Facebook, inmediatamente se transformó en un fenómeno que atrajo a millones de seguidores en todo el mundo que solicitaban a Dante que cada viernes escribiera algo referente al amor. Y así se creó una serie de textos que hoy están recopilados en este libro plagado de romanticismo. El amor en los tiempos del Facebook es una crónica desprolija acerca del amor, una compilación de apuntes que surgen del alma, pero que en definitiva provienen del mayor sentimiento que nos regaló nuestro Dios. «Un libro que deberían leer por lo menos una vez mis amigos solteros, los novios, aquellos que solo quieren vivir un buen momento sin comprometerse demasiado, los que tienen el corazón destrozado, los posesivos, los que tienen miedo a confesar sus sentimientos, los casados que sienten que se les enfrió la llama, los que toleran un noviazgo disfuncional, los enamorados no correspondidos, y fundamentalmente, los enamorados del amor». —Recomendación del autor.
