Unlike many individuals who enter medicine, it was not something I contemplated from the beginning. I wanted to be a scientist...until I became disillusioned with that enterprise. Currently I'm a physician executive recently retired. Following medical school, I trained in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine. It's the latter that I practiced clinically.Through an exploration of great thinkers and philosophers, coupled with my own interactions with patients and colleagues, I've come to understand that medicine is a social, moral, philosophical, and existential enterprise, of which science is only one aspect.I respect science, but don't worship it. Science is about facts that can be tested; philosophy and the humanities are about ideas that can be imagined, and stories that can be told. Through the presentation of philosophical and normative issues, elucidated through stories, my goal in writing this book is to inspire tomorrow's physicians, medical ethicists, and other healers and thinkers to reject the roles we've been assigned, become more authentic in our everyday lives, and transcend the inadequacy of science through imagination and improvisation.This is how the Soul of Medicine will be restored.

Electric power and the evolution of utilities fueled the growth of industrialization and the incredible innovation of the 20th century by allowing companies to focus on what they where best at rather than the generation and management of power. That’s exactly what’s happening today as an almost unimaginable abundance of data is moving into the cloud where it will fuel the revolution in artificial intelligence and machine learning. However, most people are still using an industrial age lens, built on the economics of scarcity, to view the opportunities that the cloud creates for a future of limitless data; it’s the equivalent of trying to compete using waterwheels to power a modern factory. The Bottomless Cloud challenges the scarcity-driven mindset by taking a hard look at how industrial age business models are failing us by regarding data as a commodity and a cost that needs to be constrained, rather than an near infinite resource that can be mined to build entirely new sources of value and insight. From Uber, to Nike, to Netflix, The Bottomless Cloud is defining the tenets of success in the 21st Century by changing the way we view data, from being a byproduct of business to a foundational driver of radically new business models. On the heels of his Amazon bestselling book Revealing The Invisible, 11 time author Tom Koulopoulos has teamed up with his long time colleague and serial entrepreneur David Friend to provide business leaders with a clear and straightforward understanding of the incredible power of the cloud and data abundance; it’s an entirely new way to think about the value and the role of data in building tomorrow’s enterprise.Written in a way that is easy to follow, The Bottomless Cloud provides a compelling vision of a future in which data abundance will alter nearly every aspect of how we live, work, and play.

Most books focus on specific illnesses or conditions such as survivors of stroke, head or spinal injuries, dementia and Alzheimer's, or parenting an or disabled child.

This book pinpoints the needs and strategies of this population. While some books focus on "surviving" long-term caregiving, It's My Life Too demonstrates the life of the caregiver is of equal importance and that caregiving can be a rewarding and gratifying experience.

You may think, with this book's title, it's about being calm and cool in the face of pressure. It's actually quite the opposite and more literal. My body actually stopped sweating. This was one of a variety of unusual health issues I faced, partially or wholly brought on by stress. And I had to learn how to get my body to sweat again naturally as no pill or prescription was going to help me. My solution to this and other issues were going to come from within. With people becoming more aware about stress and its incredible health impacts, many of us have found that we can pay a hefty price if we ignore or don't acknowledge it. And I believe it frequently goes undiagnosed in the medical community. This book is about my journey, one I think many of you can relate to. This is not about what I've overcome. It's about what I've learned in the hope it can help others. In this book I will share you with my journey and the key lessons I've learned along the way.

Challenge and adversity are both part of life. But for little Harrison, they hit hard the day after he was born. Faced with a serious case of bacterial meningitis, his life was hanging in the balance. Typically bacterial meningitis has a 48 hour window before it becomes terminal. With only a few hours to spare, he received heavy doses of the appropriate medicine that would hopefully help save his life. Luckily, he survived but then faced a difficult physical challenge known as cerebral palsy. His pediatrician and a neurologist reported to his parents when Harrison was just a few months old, "Your boy will never run or kick a ball. He simply won't have the physical coordination due to his severe case of cerebral palsy." Yet through persistence, faith, love, grace, and his world travels, Harrison was able to cure himself of the "incurable." Today, Harrison is a 12 year old boy that looks acts, walks and talks like every other kid at school. To see the journey of where he came from and what he went through is nothing shy of miraculous. Harrison shares his story with pictures and a witty commentary in his book, The Boy Who Would Never Run.

Becoming aware of what you are feeling on a regular basis and at every moment can prevent you from being a zombie and can put you back in control of your emotions, your life and the quality of its experience. If you are tired of being a slave to your emotions, allowing them to run your life, then realize that you don''t have to anymore.In this book you will learn how to master your emotions, make them your friends, and understand the messages that they bring to help you grow, expand and get in touch with your true self. Every emotion has its place and its reason for being; however, what we do with those emotions is what needs to be mastered so that you can then navigate your life to have the kind of experiences that you most desire.This book is part of The One Minute Coach series of books.The book is written using the rules of the Accelerated Learning Techniques, which emphasize the use of both right and left hemispheres of the brain for faster and easier learning and later recollection.Each chapter in this book takes about a minute to read and each chapter is followed by action steps explaining what you can do with the information you just read. This is because I believe that there is already an information overload and what people need is not more information but an understanding of what to do with it. The image at the end of each chapter helps with the whole brain learning and recollection. It also makes it more fun to read.There are five parts to this book. The first part introduces you to the world of emotions and helps you see them from a different perspective. The second part focuses on the feel-bad emotions and the third part on the feel-good emotions. The forth part gives you practical tools for mastering your emotions and the fifth part helps you put it all together and integrate your new knowledge into your daily lives. There are also two appendixes that give specific tools to release unwanted emotions.

Managing a major remodel of your home involves learning various aspects of a construction project: permitting; hiring contractors; clarifying what you really mean and want; managing a budget; overseeing quality, avoiding regrets; doing what's right for yourself and standing up for yourself. It's a big job. The learning curve is high and often we homeowners don't get to apply the skills we learned again.In this book, the stories of a couple going through this learning curve is told through the lens of a novice just like a conversation with a homeowner over a cup of tea. What they thought they wanted (a brand new house in modern minimalist style with solar panels and recycled materials) is very different than what they ended up with (remodel of a 90-year-old house in the classic Arts and Crafts style to meet the stringent international building standard called Passive House). What caused this shift? How did they choose the contractor? How did they navigate out of overwhelm of green building choices? How did they manage the relationships? What would they do differently? Was it worth it?This book chronicles the journey by a couple from choosing the location through living in the house after the renovation completion. It wasn't all about finding smart people and following expert guidance. When expert opinions diverged and they got stuck in analysis paralysis they had to trust their judgment and chose what they felt was right for them. After all, they'll be living in the house for years after the experts are gone. "Chie Kawahara is a storyteller. Her book, Midori Haus, tells a compelling story in a conversational style about a couple who wanted to remodel an older home that would use as little energy as possible-and was comfortable and healthy to live in. Anyone who has an interest in green building-doing right for oneself and the planet-will find a friend in this book." -Jim Gunshinan, Editor, Home Energy Magazine"Midori Haus serves as a journey of adapting, learning, greening, nurturing, and caring for an old house by renewing the house to address current and future environmental challenges. The narrative is delightfully educational - the design process of achieving the passive house standard will be better understood through these stories and conversations." -Alison G. Kwok, Ph.D., AIA, CPHC, University of Oregon"The international Passive House standard has gained a deserved reputation as the fastest growing building energy efficiency standard in the world. Unsurprisingly, publications about it have mostly been by and for industry professionals. Midori Haus represents an alternative, introducing readers to Passive House through the eyes of a homeowner undertaking a remodeling project. Chie Kawahara takes readers along on her journey of discovery and remodeling triumph. She makes the process understandable and accessible and readers are given practical tools they can use on their own Passive House projects. There's nothing like a good case study told by the people involved to bring abstract concepts to life. Midori Haus doesn't disappoint." -Elrond Burrell, Architect, CPHD, blogger"In this delightful book, Chie Kawahara describes the process she and her husband went through to purchase a 1920s bungalow and turn it into a state-of- the-art, healthy, green, Passive House. This account of their experiences is highly instructional for anyone considering buying and renovating a house, and it's a wonderful read!" -Alex Wilson, Founder, BuildingGreen, Inc.

Time has taken its toll. We must bid farewell to what we've known and enter what lies ahead.Welcome to the ancient island of Estillyen, a place that is paradoxically both very far away and quite close. A troupe of Message Makers from the seventeenth century mysteriously arrives to grapple with the theme of technology and our integrity of life in today's context, and the reader is invited on a journey to discover and reflect on whether it's possible to find a balance between the onslaughts.Divine Choreography of Redemption is a celebration of prose, imagination, and faith. It explores the story of redemption as a divine drama advanced by acts and agents that transcend time and space. As the story unfolds, a classic battle between technology and spirituality unfolds which considers not just the trappings of high-tech, but its approaches to life and relationship to myths, reality, past and present, from Dante to Christ.
