25 Lessons
by Nancy Mehagian Judith A. ProfferShe would age without whining. (Most of the time). She would read until her eyes were blurry. She would love fiercely, laugh ferociously, and let tears fly unabashedly. She would go to nature to heal. And travel with Gayle to let loose. And she would say good-bye with grit and humor and without regret. 25 Lessons: What We Learned from Oprah is an intimate and often lighthearted look at how some of the teachings of The Oprah Winfrey Show influenced the personal lives and career paths of the authors, Southern California friends who, like Oprah, love their dogs, their close friends, a good book, Mother Nature, "aha" moments, and reeeeeaaaaalllly good food. Nancy Mehagian is a teacher, healer, epicurean, and writer (Supernatural Kids Cookbook, Siren's Feast: An Edible Odyssey). Judith A. Proffer is a former newspaper publisher (LA Weekly, Sun Community Newspapers), entrepreneur (Magpie Gourmet Mini Pies), and writer. As unlikely as it is that a dirt-poor girl from Mississippi would become buddies with the booty-shaking star of Saturday Night Fever are the odds of these two friends ever meeting up. Nancy was a spirited hippie who would open the first vegetarian restaurant on the island of Ibiza, hanging out with the likes of Joni Mitchell and Taj Mahal. Judith was raised in Michigan with corn-fed sensibilities and big-city dreams, longing to meet Walter Cronkite (she did) and own her own newspaper (she did that, too). Along the way, they each got a little lost, they each got a little found, and they happened upon an adventurous and everlasting friendship in each other. And it was Nancy, a frequent Oprah viewer, who encouraged Judith, a decided non-viewer, to watch the pull-out-all-the-stops emotional, engaging, enlightening, and entertaining twenty-fifth and final season. Inspired by the lightning-paced illumination they have each embraced and tried their best (sometimes successfully, sometimes not) to emulate over the years, this book was birthed to offer simple and practical lessons that can offer readers the keys to make changes in their own lives. From the searing reality of the importance of forgiveness (essential, but painful and rarely easy) to the creation of a vision board (fun, fun, fun), 25 Lessons delivers tales of compassion, courage, and evolution. Not to mention the smack in the face of instant karma. Oprah taught the world to live, love, and laugh. With 25 Lessons, Mehagian and Proffer share practical tools for living out loud, loving ourselves, and laughing with the whole of our hearts.

25Days: A Proven Program to Rewire Your Brain, Stop Weight Gain, and Finally Crush the Habits You Hate--Forever
by Myatt Murphy Drew LoganCelebrity trainer and cast member of NBC’s Strong, Drew Logan shows us how to rewrite our neurological patterns and break the habits that prevent us from losing weight and living a healthy life.What if we could train our brains to stop weight gain in our quest to be lean, healthy, and fit? Well, we can. Celebrity trainer and cast member of NBC’s Strong, Drew Logan knows firsthand how the brain affects our ability to perform and function at our best. After dying three times in three hours—becoming the world’s only known medical case to survive three sudden cardiac arrests—he lost his short-term memory. He could no longer follow the complicated diet and fitness regimens he’d used on himself and his clients. He needed to create something simpler. He was shocked to discover that the resulting program was even more effective than his complicated regime of the past. In 25 Days, Drew outlines a unique, multifaceted approach that helps readers rewrite their neurological patterning—what lies underneath those pesky habits that get in our way over and over again—so that the brain’s neural pathways, biochemistry, and hormones work together effectively, seamlessly, and efficiently. He defines what neurological patterns are, how they form, and the reason they’re secretly behind why most people fail to lose weight and get in shape. He breaks down these “unhealthy” patterns and shows how to erase them by creating healthier ones with diet, exercise, and a reward system. Included in the book are the 25 Days Grading System, Diet, and Workout Plan, as well as tools that will alert and assist readers throughout the book. 25 Days is one of the easiest—and effective—diets to follow, and Drew will show you that all you need is to adjust your diet and retrain your brain to be in peak shape.

28 Days in Darkness: A Journey from the Depth of Despair to the Joy of Awakening
by Traver BoehmJoin Traver Boehm as he embarks on a profound 28-day initiation into darkness, a journey that forever alters his perception of self and the world around him. Through his lens, you will learn how to embrace darkness, break free from suffering, find hope, and reclaim your life.In 2016, Traver Boehm voluntarily spent 28 straight days in a pitch-black room, utterly alone, embarking on an inward journey that forever altered his perception of darkness. For four weeks, he couldn&’t see his hand an inch from his face—voluntarily. In 28 Days in Darkness, he recounts this harrowing experience, delving deep into his inner darkness and suffering and then emerging back into the world with profound insights. But this book isn&’t just about Boehm&’s dark journey; it's an invitation for you to explore your own darkness and uncover the gems hidden deep in the cave of your wounds. And you don&’t have to sacrifice a month of your life to find them as he did. This book serves to answer two fundamental questions:· How do you navigate life when everything falls apart?· What truths can only be discovered in the midst and aftermath of crisis? In our culture, we tend to shy away from darkness, pain, and challenge, collectively seeking only love and light. We medicate our discomfort, hide behind our curated social media personas, and avoid confronting the parts of ourselves we&’ve deemed tainted and unworthy. Yet we live in deeply troubled times that demand an evolved and holistic authenticity, and that includes our personal and collective darkness. This book provides a pathway to seek that fully realized authenticity. 28 Days in Darkness doesn&’t just recount Boehm&’s heartbreak and pain; it offers a road map for you to embrace your own devastation, accept the parts of yourself that you pretend do not exist, and find the truths that will finally set you free. Each chapter will leave you with concrete steps you can take immediately to navigate your heartache, anger, grief, and so much more. This book is for you if you&’re tired of living behind rose-colored glasses and crave the kind of authenticity, power, and connection that can&’t be found solely by looking upward and outside of yourself. It&’s for brave souls willing to seek the real truth, the kind you only find when things get dark.

28 rulemanes
by LolitàQuiero dedicar esta aventura a todos los que me han alojado en su vida y a todos los que se han hospedado en la mía. Me lo enseñó un árbol: que desde su copa la perspectiva era hermosa y que todo el esfuerzo y los desafíos de la trepada cobraban sentido desde la cima. ¿No creen que es excitante pensar que mañana es un día nuevo para alojar a nuevos pasajeros? Gracias. A todos los que han pasado, a los que están y a los que vendrán. Enhorabuena. Ha sido un placer. Puedo decir, por primera vez, que tengo amarras y que me sujetan cuerdas. A decir verdad, aun así, me siento libre. Quizá sea porque el mundo es quien sujeta esas cuerdas y porque, precisamente, depende de cómo me sienta. Me pregunto cuáles serán las coordenadas específicas donde se encuentran atadas esas sogas que sostienen mi columpio. Quizás una esté en la China y la otra en Marruecos. Tal vez Alaska y Calcuta. Italia y Tokio. Conservar el misterio lo hace aún más mágico. Mágico. Como mi propio universo, mi anatomía de estrellas y mi galaxia entera que crece incontrolablemente adentro de mí. Columpiarme me ha movido y trasladado de un lugar a otro; pero, quieta, tiesa o en movimiento, el planetario siguió dando a luz. La escenografía alrededor del mundo ha maravillado cada esquina de mis pupilas; pero quien ha encandilado mis retinas ha sido aquella ilustración interior, que alumbra el viaje al centro de mi constelación. Me pregunto si seré astronauta o si habré desarrollado la capacidad de flotar con mi propia gravedad. Pues mis pies han sido la nave espacial más eficaz y quizá la NASA podría probar para sus próximos cohetes la voluntad, pues en mí ha resultado ser la pieza más valiosa. Supongo que mi órbita comenzó a formarse desde aquel destello de luz que creció en mi meteorito nacimiento y mi guerra de las galaxias peleó contra todos los satélites artificiales para acabar dándole exclusividad a mis Plutones, Saturnos, Neptunos y Mercurios, que custodian y acompañan mi paso por la Tierra. ¿Acaso este telescopio podría ampliar la evolución de mi Vía Láctea? Pues, de ser así, le quito el modo "fugaz" a mi columpio y presento a cada estrella.
29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life
by Cami WalkerAt age thirty-five, Cami Walker was burdened by a battle with multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurological condition that made it difficult for her to walk, work, or enjoy her life. Seeking a remedy for her depression after being hospitalized, she received an uncommon prescription from an African medicine woman: Give to others for 29 days. 29 Gifts is the insightful story of the author's life change as she embraces and reflects on the naturally reciprocal process of giving and receiving. Many of Walker's gifts were simple --a phone call, spare change, a Kleenex. Yet the acts were transformative. By Day 29, not only had Walker's health and happiness improved, but she had created a worldwide giving movement. The book also includes personal essays from others whose lives changed for the better by giving, plus pages for the reader to record their own journey. More than a memoir, 29 Gifts offers inspiring lessons on how a simple daily practice of altruism can dramatically alter your outlook on the world.
