Kristen Breitweiser was a happy young mother and housewife leading a privileged life. Then, on the morning of September 11th, 2001, the phone rang. It was her husband, Ron, calling from his office in the second tower. "Sweets, I'm ok. I'm ok. Don't worry. It's not my building," he said. Kristen didn't know what he was saying. He told her to turn on the television. He continued. "I see them. They're right there. Right across from me. And they're jumping. My God, they're jumping." The call ended abruptly and Kristen watched with horror as the second tower exploded. A huge, brilliant, red fireball. In that frozen instant, she felt in her heart that he had been killed. This is the deeply personal, often shocking and ultimately inspirational story of a woman left to pick up the pieces of a life shattered by terrorism. With no husband by her side or father for her child, Kristen had to find the strength within herself to embark on a journey that would lead first to the creation of the 9/11 Commission and then to her role as one of the country's most outspoken activists and critics of the current administration.

You may not have an addiction in the normal sense; or maybe you do. Maybe you need a "Wake-Up Call!" Alcohol, drugs, and sex are the "normal" addictions, but this 10-Step Program is for the kind of addiction that's more ordinary than we'd like to think. But you probably have that same addiction I had where I needed to get up every morning, make a commute back and forth, and do a nine-to-five (ten-to-three) just to get a paycheck after working each week or two. The problem comes when someone makes you quit your addiction cold turkey""they unexpectedly take your job away. Wake-Up Call will inspire and amuse as you walk with me through my ten steps to get to a better place after losing a job at sixty-six. Yes, ten steps. It seems I took a shortcut. If you are a baby boomer, unemployment rates have greatly fluctuated in your lifetime, roller-coastering particularly in election years. We, boomers (born 1946""1964, according to US Census or 1943""1960 by Strauss-Howe charts), are living longer and working longer. At least we're trying to. Although our generation is bigger than X, Y, or Z, when the fears of unemployment happen, we may all feel the same, thinking we are alone. Not all are over sixty-five. But there is hope in sharing our stories with each other. Each story is different but connected. My story Wake-Up Call: A 10-Step Program After Losing Your Job at 66 follows a rocky path out of the pit. But because you sometimes have to laugh your way out, there are entertaining illustrations at each step: Depression?, Obamacare and Medicare, A Friend in Deed Helps a Friend in Need, Sue, Opportunities-Other Jobs, Young Prodigies and Children, Spiritual Things, Purpose, Chill, and Follow Your Dreams.

From Dr. Arthur Agatston, creator of the South Beach Diet, comes an urgent message: We need to wake up to the reality of just how fat and sick we are as a nation. Statistics don't lie: In the past 30 years Americans have become heavier and unhealthier than at any time in our history. Yet while most of us recognize the devastating toll this is taking on our lives-compromising our productivity, our self-esteem, our energy, and ultimately our very longevity-we seem stuck in the sedentary, fast-food lifestyle that got us here in the first place. But there is hope. In The South Beach Wake-Up Call, Dr. Agatston sheds light on the root causes of our current health crisis and also offers clear, actionable advice for addressing and reversing this growing problem. He explains how inflammation brought on by our toxic lifestyle is destroying the body's ability to heal and repair itself, and causing our tissues and organs to "rust," or grow old before their time. He shows why losing that belly fat is far more than just a matter of regaining your "bikini body," and how lack of sleep and inadequate exercise can rob you of years of vigorous good health. He also takes a close look at the American diet and what should (and shouldn't) be on the menu and exposes the real cost of eating out and consuming "cheap" fast food. With a section of brand-new recipes created to maximize your intake of "Megafoods"- those foods packed with anti-aging antioxidants and dense with nutrients, not calories-plus meal plans and an easy-to-follow fitness routine for increasing both core strength and cardiovascular health, The South Beach Wake-Up Call is an essential prescription for anyone ready for a life-enhancing approach to diet and good health. The book features: - The South Beach Wake-Up Program: 7 simple, sustainable strategies for age-reversing, life-saving weight loss and optimal health - The South Beach Gluten Solution to combat the potential harm that gluten-containing foods can have on sensitive individuals, including gastrointestinal problems, skin rashes, metabolic disorders, and a host of autoimmune conditions - The Wake Up and Move 2-Week Quick Start Plan, an exercise program combining both cardio and core conditioning - 15 MegaFoods for Healthy Eating, how to buy healthy food on a budget, how to snack strategically, and 32 all-new recipes from breakfasts to desserts using MegaFood - Stories from real-life "Super Moms" who are fighting back and taking control of their families' health, plus tips for parents throughout
