BOOK REVIEW:  Achievement IQ Moments by Mr. Achievement, Stanley Bronstein.

I love this book! A great read for anyone wanting to be reminded that no matter what happens in our lives, we can take the A.IQ leap to positively change our direction and destiny.

Bronstein interviewed 50 extraordinary people who have life and career stories proving that we can make a great life out of chaos, loss and confusion; that we can thrive wherever we are and look back over the detours and bumps and see that they all made sense to get where we are now.

Bronstein’s stories are 2-3 pages each. Quick reads and powerful real-life stories of people alive and well today, with dot com information to find each and learn more or even contact them!

This is the third in Bronstein’s books helping others get and stay on the path they truly want to live and experience, no matter what happens.

I highly recommend Achievement IQ Moments. Click here to order.

WHAT I THINK ABOUT THIS BOOK: 

Achievement IQ Moments should be used in junior and senior high schools, colleges and as a gift for students and young people. Bronstein’s real-life stories of what others have done to get from there to here are positive, uplifting and practical. The choices his interviewees took to move through their personal tragedies, diversity and usual life-decision confusing times – to leap into the opportunities that created lives of success and joy – are brilliant role models for anyone, but so much more for those just starting on their life’s career paths. In fact, prisons might be a good candidate too!

What I love about Achievement IQ Momentsis that the stories of those Bronstein interviewed are not the “same old names and stories” heard too many times. They are fresh and alive, here and now. Each one teaches how A.IQ Moments moved them beyond stuck places, obstacles and disasters. They teach and show steps to success and awesome lives that we all can relate too and strive to use and become.

Achievement IQ Moments offers the reader great examples and proof of helping others, support “up the ladder” and “out of the pits” of life by others. It reminds over and over that no one does it alone, no one moves into the best places of life alone. It also reminds the reader to be proactive and ask questions to let others know help is needed!

Achievement IQ Momentsis written in short and sweet chapter stories, making it easy to read for any age, memorable and impactful.

In the dot com age, it’s nice to be able to follow up on each of the people in the stories of  Achievement IQ Moments for more information and/or to follow their lives and yet-to-unfold stories into the future. It makes it real and more personal too.

I’m all about underdogs! My favorite story of the many breakthrough stories in Achievement IQ Moments is Chapter 33, of immigrant and baker, Andrew Ly. What a wonderful story of one who kept on moving, even when everything said to stop, more than once, while carrying his family and others up the river of joy and abundance with him and his vision.

Eating “raw foods” (raw vegetables, fruit and more) is the natural way for our bodies to best digest, utilize and eliminate (full circle!). Our world of processed, injected, experimented on, and who-knows-what-we’re-getting foods add fat, mental fog, immune problems, degenerative diseases and myriad of unnecessary byproducts to our bodies and lives. It’s just not natural!

Mike Adams, The Health Ranger,is one of the best resources to find what’s on the cutting edge of what’s best for us. Healthy eating and living reduces not only unnecessary and unhealthy fat from our beautiful bodies, it helps relieve stress and organize our thinking around the best foods for our lives.

Mike has something great during the week of October 19 you don’t want to miss! Watch 14 video interviews for FREE! It’s the RAWkathon event!

A collection of LIVE video interviews with top raw foods pioneers who teach you all about the raw foods lifestyle: How raw foods improve your health and eliminate excess body fat, what to eat, tips for raw foods success and much more. You don’t have to be on 100% raw foods to enjoy this, either.

The videos include interviews with Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Victoria Boutenko, Dr. Doug Graham, David Wolfe (of Sunfood.com), Viktora Kulvinskas, Nomi Shannan (of RawGourmet.com), Cherie Soria, David Rainochek (creator of JuiceFeasting.com), Frederic Patenaude, Dr. Rick Dina, Matt Monarch, Karen Knowler, Dr. Jameth Sheridan (of HealthForce Nutritionals), Happy Oasis and even a segment with yours truly (the Health Ranger).  

It all starts Oct. 19. Don’t miss this one! See you there!

Don’t you just hate it when there’s some cool or amazing photo or story that is emailed from a friend and then, you forward it to your list, and then . . . someone, like my brother Dave who always corrects me! sends me an email with the link that tells me it’s a hoax?

99% of the time I’m ahead of that curve. I check out the hoax sites and dump it if it’s a scam.

I missed one today. Almost want it to be true maybe! But alas… not to be.

Still kind of interesting, but not a true story of “NY couple buys farm and find $36,000,000 worth of cars in barn.”

Whenever your guts know that something’s fishy, that somethings “too good to be true”, go to  www.snopes.com or www.hoax-slayer.com and find out!

Here’s the story on the car/barn one, just in case you missed it! http://www.hoax-slayer.com/barn-cars.shtml

Wouldn’t you just once like to get one of those envelopes for a credit card in the mail that says, “You’ve been PRE-DENIED for our credit card!” And then they’d quit sending them? 

Well, that’s not going to happen. But, you can stop paper clutter from even getting into your mail box — save trees, landfills, your mind… GET OFF MAIL AND CALL LISTS! 

Stop the Junk Mail!
It’s easy to do and the impact is huge!

More than 100 million trees’ worth of bulk mail arrive in American mail boxes each year– that’s the equivalent of deforesting the entire Rocky Mountain National Park every four months. (New American Dream calculation from Conservatree and U.S. Forest Service statistics)

It takes less than 30 minutes, and you will be able to save 41 pounds of junk mail a year. Doesn’t sound like much time when you consider the average adult will spend 8 months per lifetime opening bulk mail. (Consumer Research Institute).

Here’s how to do it – visit this website for instructions:

Plus, many thanks to Diana Thompson, a computer “geek!” who attended my “organizing paper” class recently and had other great updates for HOW TO GET OFF LISTS! And, here’s Diana’s info if you need help with your computer in any way: thompson@zeahund.com She’s in the Longmont, CO area – but can help you over the phone too I bet!

Opt out of Pre-screened Credit offers – https://www.optoutprescreen.com/opt_form.cgi

Opt out of Catalogs – http://www.catalogchoice.org/  and  http://www.catalogchoice.com/ (2 different ones)

ProQuo – ProQuo helps you to remove your name and personal information from thousands of marketing lists, data brokers and other organizations that send you unsolicited mail.  – http://proquo.com/

Direct Mail Association has lots of information on how to get off of the many lists that are part of everyday life in the information age. http://www.dmachoice.org/consumerassistance.php

They do ask for a credit card in the name you are trying to remove. This is a reputable site that I recommend to my customers. There will be no charge made to the credit card.

Stop the Junk Calls! 

Do Not Call Lists – http://www.donotcall.gov/  – This web site does seem to have problem according to Microsoft but it is a government site and despite what Microsoft says it is safe.

Thanks again Diana!

Don’t you love fear titles in the news!

What this is all about is that I want to ”organize your time” to go to fun events (many free or by donation) and become a part of cosmic activities more often! I recently made my first visit to the Little Thompson Observatory in Berthoud, CO. I got to look through the big scope and see Saturn and its moons (yes plural!) and the almost full moon filling my eyes with it’s magnified craters and beauty. It’s not only a great night out, but they are going a great job teaching many area school kids, and adults, about science and astronomy.

Our lecturer, a NASA, PhD Astronomer (who gets to live in Ft. Collins!), shared the big news that will be national and international ongoing news, regarding Dark Sky. You can find out more on this topic and how it will affect your area soon, click here. 

Okay, back to COSMIC COLLISIONS!!!!

OUR GALAXY IS GOING TO CRASH!

Put it on your calendar! Andromeda Galaxy is moving toward us too!  Andromeda and the Milky Way will collide in about…… 3-5 billion years. Read all about it here!

But, seriously, if you didn’t see this on the news yesterday, or online yet, ohhhh, how cool! Well, not for the planet life in those galaxies of course, but… don’t miss Hubble’s good work, (money well spent!) see GALAXIES COLLIDE slide show.

Talk about looking into the past! These events happened over a a billion with a “b”! years ago!!

Did you know that most all star twinkles that we love and adore in the nights sky are already dead starts. They don’t even exist anymore.  But, the light from them is still traveling through space to us. Amazing.

See Hubble video too. So amazing. Click here.

Oh, did I say I LOVE THE SKY AND STARS AND THE NIGHT SKY AND THE MOON!!

That’s my cosmic news for the day, signing off.

 Captain Galactica!

I have had put on and up so many “hats and shingles” in my business life that ordering business cards from a printer every time I needed new ones just never made sense.
