Fit at Last: Look and Feel Better Once and for All

Despite all your good intentions, though, somehow it never quite goes according to plan.

In each chapter, Ken shares the very personal story of his ups and downs—involving, among other things, a puppy, a Hawaiian tour bus full of widows, and a fifty-year college reunion—while Tim offers expert advice and wisdom gained from over forty years in the fitness industry.Following through on your efforts to get fit requires leadership—personal leadership. Early on, Ken realized the same concepts he’d been using for years to help people lead organizations also could help him stick to his program. Here, you’ll learn how Ken and Tim applied the Situational Leadership II approach to set SMART goals, diagnose Ken’s progress in each of the six core areas of fitness, and match them with the leadership styles necessary to get Ken to the next level in each area. Certainly there is a wealth of excellent fitness advice here—but ultimately, this is a book about commitment. People don’t fail because they don’t know what to do—they fail because they just don’t do it. Using the tools in this book, you’ll be able to move from simply being interested in fitness to making a lasting commitment—one that will add a spring to your step, a smile to your face, and years to your life.

What Retirees Want: A Holistic View of Life's Third Age
by Ken Dychtwald Robert MorisonThroughout 99 percent of human history, life expectancy at birth was less than 18 years. Few people had a chance to age. Today, thanks to extraordinary medical, demographic, and economic shifts, most of us expect to live long lives. Consequently, the world is witnessing a powerful new version of retirement, driven by the power and needs of the Baby Boomer generation. Consumers over age 50 account for more than half of all spending and control more than 70% of our total net worth – yet are largely ignored by youth-focused marketers. How will work, family, and retirement be transformed to accommodate two billion people over the age of 60 worldwide? In the coming years, we'll see explosive business growth fueled by this unprecedented longevity revolution. What Retirees Want presents the culmination of 30 years of research by world-famous "Age Wave" expert Ken Dychtwald, Ph.D., and author and consultant Robert Morison. It explains how the aging of the Baby Boomers will forever change our lives, businesses, government programs, and the consumer marketplace. This exciting new stage of life, the "Third Age," poses daunting questions: • What will "old" look like in the years ahead? With continued advances in longevity, all of the traditional life-stage markers and boundaries will need to be adjusted. • What new products and services will boom as a result of this coming longevity revolution? • What unconscious ageist marketing practices are hurting people – and business growth? • Will the majority of elder boomers outlive their pensions and retirement savings and how can this financial disaster be prevented? • What incredible new technologies of medicine, life extension, and human enhancement await us in the near future? • What purposeful new roles can we create for elder boomers so that the aging nations of the Americas, Europe, and Asia capitalize on the upsides of aging? • Which pioneering organizations and companies worldwide have created marketing strategies and programs that resonate with the quirky and demanding Boomer generation? In this entertaining, thought-provoking, and wide-ranging book, Dychtwald and Morison explain how individuals, businesses, non-profits, and governments can best prepare for a new era--where the needs and demands of the "Third Age" will set the lifestyle, health, social, marketplace, and political priorities of generations to come.
Toltec Dreaming: Don Juan's Teachings on the Energy Body
by Ken Eagle FeatherA metaphysical instruction manual on the role of dreaming in the Toltec tradition • Describes the energy body, its modes of perception, and how it produces dreaming • Provides an outline of the dream gates showing how they correspond to the chakras • Includes detailed instructions for awakening dreaming potential and for exercising and expanding the dreaming body--what to expect and how to respond Toltec Dreaming explores the many aspects and levels of the dream-state, distinguishing ordinary dreaming from “dreaming awake,” a condition of heightened awareness through which the active dreamer ascends to the Dream of Transcendence. In this book, Ken Eagle Feather presents the history of dreaming’s place within the Toltec tradition and provides a practical how-to manual for achieving and maximizing dreaming potential. The Toltec Way superimposes on the waking world the subtle physics of the dream world in order to create a conscious dreaming body, often referred to as an “out-of-body experience,” that can allow anyone to use dreaming as a vehicle to higher consciousness. Once the dreaming energies are fully awakened, unbounded conscious perception can come alive, whether one is in the world of dreams or in daily life. The author shows how to communicate while in the dreaming body and indicates what one may encounter in the dream. He also identifies barriers to dreaming and includes instructions for detaching the dream body from the waking ego. Filled with techniques that stimulate dreaming and the development of the dreaming body, this book will guide practitioners along the Toltec Way of the Dream.

Is Your Job Making You Fat?: How to Lose the Office 15 . . . and More!
by Ken Lloyd Stacey LloydThe only thing that should be fat on your job is your paycheck. There is a "huge” worldwide obesity problem. While fads and quick-fix diets abound, they fail to address an important question in weight gain today: is your job making you fat? The answer is "Yes. ” This bold assertion is based on a great deal of global research that continues to confirm a compelling relationship between working and weight gain. The powerful link between the workplace and the waistline is due to numerous factors, including the sedentary nature of today’s jobs, the onslaught of unhealthy foods that are constantly foisted upon employees, higher levels of job stress, longer and more demanding work hours, peer pressure, new and unconventional jobs, and even more. Put it all together and you have the perfect storm for weight gain. Is Your Job Making You Fat? not only identifies and analyzes all of the central sources of weight gain associated with work, but also provides highly effective steps to control this ever-expanding problem and help you lose weight. Authors Ken and Stacey Lloyd offer a new approach where you apply your businesslike mindset and skill-set to weight management. After all, at work, you have a plan that includes objectives, benchmark dates, strategies, priorities, deadlines, and measurable results. This book shows you how to use this same methodology to take charge of your weight.
La felicità illusoria
by Ken Luball"Chi guarda fuori, sogna. Chi guarda dentro, si sveglia." -Carlo Jung Quando la tua relazione con il mondo intorno a te si forma attraverso una lente dominata dalla paura, il tuo Viaggio attraverso la vita può spesso sembrare solitario e opprimente. I tuoi guai sono infiniti e il tuo bagaglio pesante, il che spesso ti porta a erigere barriere interne, proteggendoti da questo trauma emotivo. Eppure queste stesse barriere servono anche a isolarci da tutto ciò che ci circonda, compreso il nostro vero io. L'illusione della felicità; scegliere l'amore anziché la paura è il quarto libro della "tetralogia del risveglio" e rivela i falsi percorsi su cui spesso ci troviamo e come è possibile ritrovare la pace interiore e il proprio scopo. Impara come smettere di cercare Significato e Felicità attraverso attività e relazioni esterne e, invece, concentrati sul disfare il tuo trauma e trovare la tua Luce interiore.
Tranquillità: Un villaggio di speranza
by Ken LuballTranquillità: un villaggio di speranza, lotta o illumninazione. Quale verità insegneremo ai nostri figli? Tranquillità: un villaggio utopico spirituale situato nelle isolate ma mozzafiato montagne rocciose canadesi, dove i coloni arrivano in cerca di un angolo di pace in un mondo spesso ostile e violento. Un luogo in cui una giovane ragazza di nome Monique è nata e cresciuta dagli abitanti di Tranquillità e dal vicino villaggio natale delle Prime Nazioni. Essendo stata circondata da queste persone illuminate, Monique impara innumerevoli lezioni d'amore che condivide con noi in queste pagine. Tranquillità: un villaggio di speranza è il libro 3 di "la tetralogia del risveglio" ed è una storia illuminante incentrata sulla vita straordinaria e l'educazione unica di Monique. Lungo la strada, impariamo cosa è possibile se si abbraccia la speranza invece della paura e l'amore invece dell'odio. Siamo anche consapevoli della differenza che ognuno di noi potrebbe fare nel mondo se accettassimo la vera definizione di amore senza "sé", dato senza aspettarsi di ricevere nulla in cambio, invece di vivere in un mondo "sé", come molti fanno oggi e nel corso della storia, preoccupati solo per noi stessi.

Two Knotty Boys Back on the Ropes
by Ken Marcus Two Knotty BoysThere are thousands of great books about knots. There also are many great books about bondage. However, there are few books that clearly illustrate the step-by-step process of turning great knots into great bondage. It's one thing to know how to tie an Eagle Scout's worth of sheep shanks, bowlines and clove hitches. It's another thing to know how to tie up your partner.Putting knots to work on the human form is an entirely different animal compared to seamanship, mountaineering or crocheting - especially if you want your bondage to be safe, sensual, attractive and effective. After all: you're not tying rope - you're tying people.When Two Knotty Boys, Dan and JD, began teaching rope bondage together in 1999, they discovered that most people learn best when they're shown - close up, step by step, and repeatedly - how to tie basic knots and combine them into bondage techniques. It is this learning process that they duplicate in this book. With the help of photographer Ken Marcus, Two Knotty Boys use photos and captions to show-not tell the soup-to-nuts techniques for turning rope into rope bondage. Forget long texts. Forget dissertations about BDSM or how to be a Dominant. There are plenty of books that cover that. Two Knotty Boys Showing You The Ropes fills the gap between books about knots and books about bondage.Unlike videos or DVDs that must be played and memorized, Two Knotty Boys Show You The Ropes can be a bedside companion to actual bondage. With easy-to-understand captions and clear step-by-step photos, readers can learn at their own pace, review whole techniques at a single glance or even lay it flat on the table (beside their blindfolded partner) and follow along as they tie.
