Dr. Andrew Weil is a pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine.
This Harvard-trained physician has revolutionized the way
that people perceive their health. Dr. Weil believes that
health is the natural condition of perfect balance when all

whole and all of its parts are inter-connected. Dr. Weil uses
a combination of diet, exercise, breathing techniques along
with conventional medicine. Eight Weeks to Optimum Health
is a combination of several different sections. Dr. Weil includes
a week-by-week plan for improving health. He also reviews
the cases of several people who have benefited from this program.
The end of the book has many useful addresses and other resources
for improving your diet and lifestyle. Most of this summary
is a review of the concepts that Dr. Weil recommends as part
of his eight week health improvement plan.

of the execution.
However, shifting gears and revaluing this old-fashioned virtue
can lead you to bigger achievements and more success stories
to tell. It can help you reap greater rewards in the form
of healthier relationships, good quality work, peace of mind--the
list can go on, and on. This is what this book is all about:
to understand the importance, benefits and urgent necessity
of patience and to be able to learn the ways and means of
developing this essential quality.

Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) refers to the individual's capacity
to sense, understand and ask questions about the meaning of
life, as well as experience a level of connection with others
and with the world.
Dr. Richard N. Wolman identifies seven factors that make up
human spiritual experience and behavior. They are divinity,
mindfulness, intellectuality, community, extrasensory perception,
childhood spirituality, and trauma.
Dr. Wolman maintains that being able to understand one's spiritual
makeup - our strengths and limitations- are essential to being
able to improve interpersonal relationships. Related to this,
Dr. Wolman shares a PsychoMatrix Spiritual Inventory (PSI),
a groundbreaking instrument for evaluating one's degree of
spirituality, spiritual energy, and awareness without any
reference to a specific religious ideology.
Dr. Wolman's PSI provides a spiritual snapshot of oneself.
It has been applied to thousands of individuals including
those in leadership and administrative positions worldwide.
Those who wish to take the inventory and have a written score
and summary of the results may go to www.psychomatrix.com.

When September 11 happened, nobody on those airplanes called
their stockbroker! They called their spouses, children, fathers,
mothers, sisters, brothers, fiancées.not their lawyers or
business partners. This simply tells us that life is about
Love. It all boils down to this. It's not about the money,
your investment portfolio that your kids attend the right
schools, or your resume shows what an award-winning talent
you are. Your most important task on earth is to love those
around you and be remembered well.

Why can't we find love or stay in love? Human relationships require a new awareness. First we must know that we are already complete beings. We do not need another person to complete us. Through the practice of Zen meditation, where one learns to quiet the mind, we begin to understand our selves. These important lessons are for anyone who has experienced recurring patterns in her relationships and wants to see the source of her insecurity, jealousy, possessiveness, or disappointment. By learning to meditate, sit still, and observe our thoughts, applying Zen to our everyday routine, the author leads us down a path of stepping stones to love. where we slowly let go, forgive, clean up our space, relinquish control, and be ready and open to receive the kind of love that lasts.
