Publisher's Summary:

How are you doing right now?

Is your business or your life Up, Down, or Sideways? Discover what you can do to succeed during unpredictable times.

If you're anything like me, youve probably experienced days - maybe months or years - when you feel as if you are being swept along by life. Bigger forces that you really cant control directly impact your everyday existence and long-term success. There was a time in my life when that truth hit me like a ton of bricks. In the span of just one year, I was diagnosed with cancer, my business plummeted during an economic downturn, and my investments tanked. In the end, however, those three events turned out to be a gift to me. They gave me fresh insights about what really mattered.

This audio book is the answer to those questions based on what Ive learned. Its about the mind-sets and methods that enable us to succeed when times are good, bad, or in between. You'll discover:

Youll learn nine predictable, ever-present non-negotiables of life. These ideas will change your life for the better because youll know what to do during those Up, Down, or Sideways years.

Inspiration for dealing with opportunities and challenges

There are things you can do to help you succeed even in challenging times, and they are in fact the same things that you should do regardless of whether conditions are good or bad, according to Mark Sanborn in this book. The things that you can do can never guarantee success, but they do increase the odds in your favour.

The book is divided into three sections titled "See", "Think", and "Do". The first section discusses how to see opportunities in daunting waves; the second discusses mindsets that help deal with challenges and take advantage of opportunities; and the third discusses things which can be done to create sustainable success, including:

* Create products, services, experiences and ideas that other people value

* Keep your pipeline filled with relationships, valuable projects and potential customers

* Take care of the people you value and who value you

* Keep learning as much as you can about the people you serve and those who serve you

* It is not enough to be different; you need to be different and valued

* Protect what you value by building reserves

* Practise gratitude, which is the antidote for negative thinking

* Embrace discipline and consistently act on your intentions

Like the author's other books, this one is short, entertaining and easy to read. There is nothing particularly surprising about most of the advice given, but much of it relates to the things which we tend to forget or neglect to do in the busyness and stresses of daily life. In my view the book is a handy and helpful source of inspiration for dealing with opportunities and challenges.

Timeless Truths for Business and Life

Where are you in life right now? Are you in a good place and moving up? Are you in a so-so place and holding steady? Are you having troubles and finding things around you sinking? Up, Down, or Sideways reveals timeless principles for living that apply to you no matter where you are.

Mark's audience is primarily the business community, but his principles relate to all areas of life. Even as a stay at home mom and homeschooling mom found this book a welcome reminder of how I need to think and act.

Members Reviews:

Who knew?!

I got this book because it mentioned weight loss through Cider Vinegar and I just though 'hey anything's worth a try!' But I was amazed to find out just how good Cider Vinegar can be for you. This audio book details various ailments and the positive effects that Cider Vinegar can then have on each ailment and I was truly amazed at the results. Its great for Varicose Veins, Arthritis, Weight loss and even for household cleaning. I have obviously rushed out and bought some of this miracle vinegar and I can vouch for the great cleaning effects of this stuff and also for the fact that it really does cure colds! I tried it and it nuked my cold within 2 days...better than most medicines I thought.

The best content of the book is the the various recipes that tell you how you can get this stuff into your system in a way that actually tastes really good...soups etc...understandably vinegar isn't the tastiest of products. It also tells you how to make your own coughs and colds medicines, as I tried

Def worth the listen as it really is an eye opener to an easily accessible product that has been ignored by many.

Title: Spirit Matters

Subtitle: How to Remain Fully Alive with a Life-Limiting Illness

Author: Judy Flickinger

Narrator: Melissa Gandall

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-10

Publisher: Tate Publishing

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Death...takes only a moment; you breathe out and you don't breathe in - that is death. On the other hand, dying can take a very long time, and depending on how you approach it, it can be either a miserable, sometimes terror-filled experience or an enlightening adventure. In Spirit Matters: How to Remain Fully Alive with a Life-Limiting Illness, Judy Flickinger offers a seldom-considered but all-important perspective on what really matters at the end of life. As retired hospice nurse turned author, Judy focuses on the importance of keeping the spirit - the person inside the dying body - alive and well during the course of a life-limiting illness.

Spirit Matters exposes the motives, misconceptions, and lack of knowledge that often prevent dying people from receiving the type of care that can create and maintain a healthy spirit. The message in Spirit Matters is conveyed in eleven lessons illuminated by the personal stories of dying people and their families. Readers will learn, laugh, cry, and hopefully realize that near the end of life, first and foremost, Spirit Matters.

Should be required reading for all hospice volunteers.

I would recommend this book for anyone who is or is considering being a hospice volunteer, is in a terminal illness for themselves or a loved one, or anyone who needs to find more empathy and compassion for their health related career fields.

I have a close friend who is terminal and i wish he and his caregiver family would read it as well. I think everyone who is in this situation needs to understand how important end of life wishes matter and can be obtained with the right information.

I love this book and have given it to several folks ...

I love this book and have given it to several folks because it's so relevant to those that are ill or growing old...

Spirit really does matter.

This is a book that should be read by all caregivers,family members of persons going through their last phase of life on earth, medical personnel and hospice workers. Judy gave us an insite as to how a patient's treatment and environment is so important to keep up spirit and self worth while preparing for death. Spirit Matters is an inspirational book for all.

Five Stars

Very helpful for those not sure of when to start hospice or what it really entails.

Members Reviews:

A Nice Listen

For the most part, I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book in terms of how it was compiled as well as the beautiful way in which it was narrated. It offers inspiration through the experience of others and pushes the listener to ask themselves that all important question, 'What would you do if you had no fear?' The only minor downside, in my opinion, is the ending of the book didn't appear to be as well thought out and written as the rest, causing it to flounder a bit.

A Sense of Humor Helps With A Fresh Start

This book helped me with my fresh start after a separation followed by divorce followed by my exhusband passing away a month later. The author approaches a fresh start with a sense of humor and showed me how to laugh at myself while going through some tough times.

Fresh Start by Doug Fields

A Fresh Start...don' t think that the title tells it all. Starting over is what God is all about, after all, like the bumper sticker says,

"God Allows Do Overs". Doug Fields, who is a teaching pastor at Saddleback Church, does an excellent job pointing out,

(Biblically I might add), that no matter what you've gone through, no matter how far you may have "fallen from grace", God

still offers the awesome possibility to truly have a fresh start. With all the Biblical characters that Doug mentions, it is clear

that God has a plan for everyone that begins with a fresh start.

Having said that, I must say that I can tell that Doug spent 25 years as a youth pastor. Although his writing is very clear, and

again, has a good Biblical base, it is loaded with a stylized humor that, for me, is rather distracting. I love humor mixed with

theology and spiritual thinking, but the rule of comedy or humor is timing, and his timing can be a little off.

I did enjoy the book very much, though. The encouragement to me personally, was much needed. I really felt that this book,

being my first from Thomas Nelson Publishers for me to review, was planned by God. I do recommend this book to everyone,

because truthfully, everyone needs a Fresh Start.

Fresh Start

God's Invitation to a Great Life

By Doug Fields

Thomas Nelson Books provided me with a copy of the book "Fresh Start" by Doug Fields for my review.

Fresh start by Doug Fields is a wonderful, often funny, book. By sharing new perspectives on single life, married life, and everything in between, Fresh Start gives clear guidelines to follow. That, coupled with scripture background to relieve the pressures of today's world, Doug Fields will help to get us "unstuck." Everyone can have a "FRESH START".

The book description is as follows:

If you had the chance to change your life for the better, would you? All it takes is a decision.

Trapped by harmful habits, behaviors, and attitudes, we struggle to become the person God has created and called us to be. Saddleback Church teaching pastor Doug Fields says it's never too late to get a fresh start.

Wasn't very useful for me.

I like the author but I didn't get practical ideas or methods from this book.

Many nice stories about intuition without guidance to actions or a path you can follow.

Love this lady

This is truly cutting edge stuff

Members Reviews:

Does your life need a "jump start?"

Would you consider the audio edition of Only You Can Be You to be better than the print version?

I have both the audio and print...both are good, but the book has some graphics which add to the experience.

What other book might you compare Only You Can Be You to and why?

It's a "self-help" book...sort of...but unlike secular books, this book is all about discovering who God made you to be, and how to make the most of the one life you've been given in 21 days...why 21? Because that's how long it takes to make something a habit...unlike most other self-improvement books, this one is not going to tell you that you can be anything or anyone you want to be. It will, however, demonstrate ways to stop listening to the soundtracks of others' voices and get you to listen to the Truth, from God's Word, the Bible.

Have you listened to any of Greg Whalens other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've not listened to any of Greg Whalen's other performances.

What insight do you think youll apply from Only You Can Be You?

I have learned that there is only one ME, and I intend to make the most of that...only I can fulfill God's will and plan for my life.

Any additional comments?

The narrator was good but Erik Rees also has a web site and offers daily emails and videos for 21 days...so it was kind of weird to hear someone else narrating...this is an easy book to listen to, but you may want to have paper and pen handy to jot down Bible verse references and others information...this book is packed with good advice!
