2016 Reading
Perfect Health
Deepak Chopra
1991

I very much enjoyed this book. Rich in culture, we travel through India ' s ideals, habits and wisdom as he presents the Ayurvedic lifestyle.

Walking into a unique world, we are encouraged to take the bodytype test before we enter the world of Doshas. As you discover your how your body type affects your life, you become awakened to new directions of thought.

To me, this people and lifestyle are holistic in vision, seeking balance in thought and action and placing an devoted faith in the wisdom of their ancestors. I have learned much and have incorporated many aspects of the self care that they recommend for my body type with pleasant results.

Most interesting enough, he introduces the quantum theory into practical aspects of daily living.

He also touches on several healing aspects of their lifestyle. Their music, which they call Gandharva, also flows with the day, the seasons and the Doshas. . Quite fascinating..I wish to acquire some.

He presents diets that satisfy each Dosha as well as exercise, breathing techniques, and massages.

The depths of understanding regarding eating was fascinating. . It was as if his perspectives made meal preparation and consumption an art, and the entire program a lovely dance with life. .

This book gave me a feeling of breeding romanced with life and living.

Save the Cat
By Blake Snyder

Ok, by far the most amazing book on story telling/writing I have read. It belongs on every writers shelf...hands down.
Candid, Funny and straight to the point, Blake gives true to the needle guidance on perfecting your writing.
He defines log lines, genre basics, heroes and gives his BS2 beat sheet to cover all your bases,,, he talks of "The board" like it was a coveted treasure of every writer. He lays down the screenplay physics laws, helps you to spot weak areas in your piece and has you laughing with him at the simplicity and complexity of the passion of writing.
I am thrilled to have finished his masterpiece so i can begin mine... I will refer to this book each time i sit to write.

The Coconut Oil Miracle
By Bruce Fife c.n, n.d.

I was standing in the music department of Barnes and Noble. In front of me was an Oriental couple. Withing a moment, the gentleman turned to face me and proceeded to tell me that this book (he was holding it in his hand) was pure gold. He said he had used coconut since he was very young and it was very healing in his memories. He was so sincere and confident, that after picking up my cd, i promptly headed to the health department and purchased the book. I have not been disappointed.

This book was easy to read, full of facts and practical applications of the information gained.
I learned about the oils origins, how to understand how medium chain fatty acids found in coconut work in the body. the diseases it benefits through a daily intake of coconut ( heart disease, Stroke, psoriasis, dandruff, precancerous skin lesions, flu, bladder infections, chronic fatigue, hemorrhoids, and scientific reports are pointing to its use for dental caries, peptic ulcers, benign prostatic hyperplasia, cancer, epilepsy, alzheimer's, ge***al herpes, Hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS, infections, virus, yest, fungi, bacteria, parasites) are vast and broad in spectrum.
Many stories back up Fife's statements and are fun to read, and the recipes in the back of the book look wonderful...making you eager to give it a try just to see for yourself!
I enjoyed the section on health and beauty... learning how coconut oil helps shed pounds, and does wonders for the hair and skin.
Coconut for food, medicine, and beauty..This is a tasty way to live a richer life.
