  • A Book and a Chat with James Bottino
    Author of "The Canker DeathJames R. Bottino is a self-admitted computer geek and a creative writing teacher rolled into one. He earned a BS in English Education from Illinois State University and taught high school English in a suburb of Chicago for several years. After teaching all day, he studied creative writing in graduate school at Northern Illinois University. All the while, though, in the deep corners of the night, when no one was looking, he led a double life hacking and building computers and networks. Eventually, unbeknownst to him, word of his activities leaked out, and employment offers started coming in. In the end, he switched his hobby with his profession and became a senior computer / networking administrator for a scientific research laboratory. Just six months into this position, however, tragedy struck when, at the age of 31, James was diagnosed with cancer. Given ten to one odds of living out the year and knowing that his infant daughter would never remember him if he died, he began the fight of his life, enduring massive doses of chemotherapy that killed the cancer but nearly killed him as well

    If you’re looking for lasting stress relief in practical, simple steps, one easy resource is Dr. Laura Maciuika’s book, “Conscious Calm”. Dr. Maciuika is my guest today, here to talk about her new book: Conscious Calm: Keys to Freedom from Stress and Worry”
    Having heard “You should write a book!” enough times, Dr. Laura Maciuika began to consider this seriously. With the ongoing stress epidemic, and having listened to so many people feeling stressed out and not knowing where to start, a book was needed to describe how the inside stories of stress creation and stress relief work. What do we do internally to either create more stress, or free ourselves from those hidden stress traps? What does it take to experience lasting stress relief?
    Hopefully we'll learnt a lot more during the show
