A book that will stand the test of time!.......2007-09-19

An Hour! Just one short HOUR! What can the Author Dave Lakhani teach me to do in one hour?

Dave teaches you that your whole life, you very being and your futures can all be determined within how you spend a single hour. When was the last time you sat down, emptied you head of daily rubbish and focus on a task for the solid hour? No interruptions, no requests for coffee, no can you do this for me? I read the book and was astounded about just how much time I give up to help others who should know how to help themselves and all at the determent of my own success.

FEARSOME FOCUS: Remember this term as this book will coin the term and i can be sure that other books, companies and tv programs will start to use the phrase. It's an awesome book and my hat goes off to Dave and the work he has produced. Superb!

POWERFUL Plan for Change.......2007-09-13

Have you ever found yourself falling behind, overwhelmed or simply not focused on things that will make you more successful?

Dave Lakhani has the answer by simply devoting one hour per week to this blueprint for success. Then, apply fearsome focus, critical thinking and creative thinking and destroy the blocks which impede your success. By applying these guidelines, you will become more creative, avoid distractions and eliminate procrastination and successfully begin to move forward.

This book provides great tools to become self-disciplined and more productive. The advice is applicable to everyone. There are exercises and strategies throughout this book that make sense and work! In the book, there is an exercise that I personally found effective. I was surprised at how much of my time was actually taken up by interruptions and distractions. Try it and you will be amazed too.

I highly recommend this book.

POWER Yourself to Excellence!.......2007-09-10

This book provides a detailed plan to do what we all know we should do to be successful: focus intensely on one critical item of importance and get it done . . . then repeat.

Follow Lakhani's blueprint to give one hour of FEARSOME FOCUS to a key priority. You will exponentially experience the payoffs of becoming more self-disciplined, gaining more clarity, using more of your mental capacity, being more creative, increasing your critical thinking skills, tuning out irrelevant distractions, destroying procrastination and other performance blocks and getting the most out of your precious time. Warp speed ahead!

You might start with only one hour a week and you will quickly see the positive results. If you're like me, you will start using the tools provided in this book several hours each week.

Get more done. Get more of what you want. Prioritize and apply these tools to where YOU know you need it most: business, sales, marketing, networking, personal relationships or finances (not an exclusive list!) Follow Lakhani's guidance in each of these areas to identify your particular challenges and develop a plan to work through them.

In Dave Lakhani style, this book is highly readable and provides regular checklists and step-by-step instruction lists (but that does not mean it will do the work for you - it demands much from the reader as you work through your performance barriers and learn new strategies for excellence). Dave draws on his unique and interesting background including being a highly accomplished martial artist, NLP master and undercover narcotics cop.

As you read this book, you know that you are learning from a man who uses his own advice and performs at an amazing level himself. This man walks his talk. Buy a copy of this book today and learn from a master.

Increase your productivity one hour at a time........2007-09-04

"Power of an Hour" is a must read for anyone wanting to get more productivity out of their day. I was extremely frustrated with all the time wasted each day doing things that didn't really matter. I had started a daily calendar to schedule more "work that matters" and I had even made some headway on being more productive. Then I read "Power of an Hour" and the light came on! I discovered that an hour is a wonderful thing! I am so surprised at just how much I can get done when I "focus" on one project for an hour at a time. Read this book and you will be surprised at just how much work you can get done in one hour!
I now schedule my day around several "must do" projects. Each project receives an hour of "fearsome focus". The "Power of and Hour" shows me how to set up the hour for peak performance. You will love the feeling that comes from getting so much accomplished in just one hour. Put several great hours in your day and you will soon come to realize the "Power of an Hour". My productivity has sky rocketed! Yours will too!

Skyrocket your productivity!.......2007-08-24

I have to tell you I own a lot of books. In fact, I have a full bookshelf of books similar to this one but I would trade them all away for this one. If you find yourself short on time and want to maximize your success I say spring for this book. It is a road map to getting more done and having more of what you want. Frankly my original copy was a gift, since then I have purchased 2 others as gifts for colleagues.

Treat your body to a better diet.......2007-08-21

I think this book is absolutely great. It is very easy to follow the three week plan with the easy set up week by week. It is short and easy reading with great pictures. What I like is the fact that I could still join my friends for lunch or dinner and stay on the diet. After completing the three weeks, I felt great and lost weight as well.

Somewhat simplistic, good basic review.......2006-11-02

This book is smaller than expected, but still it has a lot of good common sense information in it. There is no new magical information in it.

Don't waste your money!.......2006-07-23

This book is 8" x 7" and 72 pages. If I had seen it in the bookstore and browsed through it I would NEVER have bought it. It contains many photos - so it's not even 72 pages of text - and gives advice like "eat healthy foods" and "get adequate sleep."

Energize Your Life

Author: Peter Bennett, N.D. and Stephen Barrie, N.D.
Bindu Publishing
2005
ISBN #0-9760178-0-6
www.energizeyourlife.com

"Energize Your Life" comes to us from the authors of the "7-Day Detox Miracle". Peter Bennett, N.D. is a Naturopathic Physician with a practice in British Columbia, Canada. He is a board certified acupuncturist and a homeopathic practitioner. Stephen Barrie, N.D. is an international lecturer, and founder of the Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory. The wisdom in this book comes first hand - from working hand-in-hand with their own clients.

The premise of this book is that we have the choice of living a healthier life, regardless of our past, present, or even future circumstances. This material presents a three-week plan that will change the way the reader looks, feels, and lives. The book is organized into three sections: the first section describes the problem, the second section outlines the solution, and the third section pulls everything together into an action plan.

The first section looks at three questions: "Why am I tired?", "Why am I overweight?", and "Why am I stressed?"
The second section covers simple principles about what to eat, how to move your body, and how to relax.
The third section, which comprises approximately half of the book, presents the Three-Week Plan for reaching optimum health.
Throughout this book there are numerous charts and graphics, all done in sharp, realistic colors. They act to help the reader focus, rather than detracting from the presentation...
This is an excellent beginner's book for someone truly interested in making some important lifestyle changes.

Book Review from the upcoming issue of Health Action Magazine.......2005-12-20

Energize Your Life, a new book co-written by Dr.'s Stephen Barrie N.D. and Peter Bennett N.D., discusses straightforward solutions for health and wellness. This new book includes a plan for "healthy eating (with [the aid of] sample recipes), a program of functional movement, especially walking, and relaxation tools, which together can increase energy, help to lose weight and transform stress". Dr. Bennett says that Energize Your Life is written for people who are confused by the "massive amount of conflicting advice on health in the media".

Energize Your Life is presented in three sections. The first part outlines common reasons for poor health or low energy. The second section discusses long term solutions for optimal health, and the third section lays out a three week diet and exercise program.
I found the whole book very easy to read and understand. There are ample pictures and diagrams to explain the text of the book. Dr. Bennett gives the reader a specific three week plan to follow, and includes recipes, a daily and weekly schedule, and an easy to follow exercises, including breathing and relaxation exercises. This exercise plan is fairly gentle; it includes walking and basic stretches.

This book lays out a lifelong plan to good health, and gives the reader the tools to attain optimal health and body performance. The book is intended for a person who is interested in becoming healthy and active, but is unsure how to begin or sustain this kind of lifestyle. As Dr. Bennett says, good health "takes time and has to be sustained over many years. Energize Your Life presents a program which looks at life [and health] as a marathon, not a sprint. You have to be able to settle into a pace you can sustain. It is a lifetime performance".

This review will be appearing in the winter issue of Health Action Magazine.

Time Off for Good Behavior: How Hardworking Women Can Take a Break and Change Their Lives

ASIN: 0684863200

Book Description

What to do if it's time to take stock -- and you have no time!

Have you ever fantasized about taking time for yourself just to reflect on the quality of your work life? Are you doing what you really want to be doing? Or are you spinning your wheels so fast that you're headed for burnout? And most importantly, is there a way to revitalize and refocus your career to your satisfaction? If you're like most people, that annual vacation doesn't do the trick, and weekends are just a time to collapse before it starts up again on Monday. If you can't afford the luxury of a full-fledged sabbatical, then Clarity Quest is for you. This powerful eight-week "training" program, which culminates in a week of self-discovery, is something that will fit into the busiest of schedules. Pamela Ammondson offers simple exercises to help you:

* Break away from career confusion, and let go of old fears

* Renew your physical, mental, and emotional energy so that you can think clearly and creatively

* Identify your core values

* Gain the strength, stamina, and calm needed to make important career and life decisions

* Clarify what you really want, and take control of your life with a new sense of purpose and vision

For seven weeks, you'll follow the plan, do all the groundwork for your future, and watch your dreams come into focus. When you hit the eighth week, you'll take a week-long sabbatical to fine-tune those goals, recharge your batteries, and commit to making the decisions that will change your life for the better.

Combines self-control with self-assessment.......2005-02-11

This is a mood book: one really needs to create an atmosphere and space in one's life to seriously contemplate life changes. The author proposes a seven week program, called base camp training, to get ready for a week of thought exercises, which she refers to as a sabbatical. The weekly themes include such subjects as getting a good night's sleep and relaxing, organizing personal finances, optimization of health and exercise, simplification of one's life, and letting go negativities and increasing love in one's life. Common to all of the weeks is a back to nature recommendation: taking walks on nature trails, watching sunrises and sunsets, etc. The trainee is even advised to take a refreshing shower every morning as well as bubble baths.

All of this preparation is for taking a week-long trip to a quiet spot to complete any number of thought and writing exercises to determine who one is and where he or she should or wants to go with their life. It is a "journey of self-discovery." One is supposed to get in touch with personal goals, talents, motivations, likes and dislikes, and values. At the end, a plan of action is required.

The book is pretty basic. It is a comfort book with a definite slant toward women. Like most books of this genre, it is very short on practicalities. It is one thing to understand one's self, but it is an entirely different matter to translate that into gainful employment. And then there are issues of finances and age, to name two. If one has never read a book like this, it may be helpful. But otherwise, don't expect any unique insights.

This is not a pie-in-the-sky book.......2003-09-26

I came across this book by sheer coincidence 6.5 weeks before I was about to leave a job; the company was closing. I had no idea what to do next, hadn't planned ahead financially, and picking up the book seemed like providence. I only hoped that it was realistic enough to follow.

I was truly impressed at the plain language of the book; most self-help books seem to need to coin their own phrases and have you learn their 'lingo'. Pam's book was written as if she's speaking to you, and she basically gives you homework assignments and steps to follow which slowly reveal the answers you are looking for.

I did the finance chapter first; it was weighing on my mind the most, and then followed the steps as closely as possible. All of the goals are attainable, they don't make you feel like you're displacing other important aspects of your life.

After 6 weeks, I was ready to redirect myself toward identifying what I wanted. My sabbatical was nine days in the Florida Keys; I rented a truck for $125, took a tent, and camped out each night under the stars, with my journal and sketchbook nearby. I don't think I spent over $500 for the whole trip. I made friends with another person also trying to find their way, and we both worked through some of the 'what to do next' scenarios.

I came back, packed my things, moved to a new city, and scored a new job which paid well. I was relaxed and able to concentrate on the important decisions during this process.

I heartily recommend this book to anyone who is feeling a bit unplugged and who needs a gentle hand in getting closer to their goals. Sometimes you need a push, and Pam does it well.

A practical how-to guide for life changes.......1999-08-15

In this relatively compact volume, Pam helps us turn down the volume of noise in our lives, so we can hear that small quiet voice within us, speaking to us of our hopes and dreams.

Follow this book and it will change your life -- perhaps to the chagrin of the people you now work for!

Finally! A guide to getting the life you deserve.......1999-07-26

Like many of the people profiled in Clarity Quest, I had taken sabbaticals (from a week to a year and a half), trying to discover what I really wanted to do and be. Each time I found myself catching up on sleep (from stress and burnout) for the majority of the time, and then filling my time with activities to avoid the panic of still not knowing how to discover my true passion in life. In the first few pages of Clarity Quest, I found it that I was not alone - and I found a plan to clarify what I want, focus on discovering my passion in life, and achieving it all. You can have love, wealth, and a great career on your own terms. Just follow the eight week plan outlined in this book - it will guide you every step of the way.

A different book that makes your life be different too.......1999-06-17

How to take a Sabbatical...sounds interesting. And it sure is. Pam Ammondson really got to the point on helping everybody to live a better life. No false promises or just wishes. She's given wit and the good thing is that she shares it with us. And does so by combining dreamer's ideas with focused advices. What else could be better?

Description:
This study was based on 220 randomly selected government employees of the University of the Philippines in Los Banos, and was carried out after the Philippine government implemented an experimental two-month compressed working week scheme. The study aimed to examine compressed working week-related lifestyle pattern changes, especially changes in activity-time patterns. The moderating effects of compressed working week to the commuters were also explored. Survey results showed that two-hour increases in the compressed working week workday substantially impacted activity-travel patterns. Commuters reduced household activities by about one hour, sleeping time by about 20minutes, and pre-work preparation time by about 30minutes. Commuting times also significantly declined during the compressed working week. This study also identified factors that moderated the compressed working week plan's effects on activity-travel patterns.
