Not only a straight-talking and gutsy account of a tough life, but a testament to the truth that beneath every wound, every tragedy and every fear there is LOVE. Helen Daniel leads us through her own extraordinary life, highlighting the choice points that we all face in our own way but can constantly choose to overlook. Through tales of the childhood that taught her survival, the murder of her beloved sister, the head injury that left her with no option but to rely on something else, her deep connection to Nature, and her journey towards real intimacy in personal relationship, we are shown a different way to live. Add to that accounts of a profound and enduring relationship with the Australian Aboriginal community, a deep spiritual connection, and the often hilarious lessons learned along the way, and Live Until You Die is a must-read experience. It also throws out a challenge to the world. Helen believes it's time to raise the bar. It's time we chose to live and to love wholeheartedly with no excuses. In Helen's own words: "There is more. There is a journey from the head and all the knowledge and intellect that seems to run the world these days, to the heart. To the truth of who you are. To your soul. To learning to open up and share yourself and your truth with others...There is a deep place of knowing inside every human being that is sure, safe and unshakable. This place is challenged by almost everything in our lives. It is the toughest place to get to. However, once there, depression, uncertainty and indecision cannot exist. This is the place where real love exists. Tough, gutsy love for yourself and others, that leaves you with a strength and courage that nothing can rock. Nothing."

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Brilliant and enthralling.” —The Wall Street Journal A paradigm-shifting book from an acclaimed Harvard Medical School scientist and one of Time’s most influential people. It’s a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we’ve been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan? In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.” This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the frontlines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs—many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab at Harvard—that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to feel younger, but actually become younger. Through a page-turning narrative, Dr. Sinclair invites you into the process of scientific discovery and reveals the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes—such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity, and eating less meat—that have been shown to help us live younger and healthier for longer. At once a roadmap for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future of humankind, Lifespan will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it.

"I knew by the title and the writer I would enjoy Live Until You Die. What I was not prepared for was--I read the book in two sittings. I could not put it down. There truly is something for all ages and interest. As you read this book you will think of dozens of people you want to share it with. Beware--it may challenge some of your current thinking. I plan to use some of Bob's material when I teach home-care workers. It personally hit me from all directions--nurse, wife of a person with Alzheimer's, mother, grandmother, and most of all as a Christian helping my struggling family with the ups and downs of life on this earth. Live until You Die will remind all readers of God's love for us and give us inspiration to truly LIVE our lives in the present, being aware of all that is around us." --Brenda Dunn, RN, BSN, founder and CEO of hospice of Montezuma, CO, and Family Life Care in Florida and Colorado. "Chaplain Robert Howard Bole uses many of his experiences as illustrations in his book to help us to better understand that we should take time to consider how to live better lives and to get the best out of life. He has the ability to speak people's language clearly and with a depth of sensitivity. It offers hope and answers for persons who are just going through the motions as they live from day to day to change their attitudes and habits and enjoy life while they are alive. It can provide practical help for persons who have really forgotten how to live and enjoy life. This book is a significant work that is written in a balanced and sensitive way. I highly recommend it." -Francis Yorke, PhD (candidate), Deputy Director Jamaica School of Preaching and Biblical Studies, Kingston, Jamaica. "Once again I am amazed with Dr. Bole's style of teaching as he succinctly helps us make sense of how to live and draw purpose from life, even into our seventies, eighties, and well beyond. His book, Live Until You Die, is peppered with lyrics from popular songs over the past several decades as well as philosophical phrases from timeless writers. His sense of humor comes through as he motivates and inspires us through his countless stories and allegories. I was very fortunate to have him as my professor through the American Christian Bible College where I earned a degree in Christian Counseling. His courses helped equip me to counsel and instruct troubled youth at a Youth Challenge Academy for twelve years, and become an advocate for children. The information I have gleaned about the brain will help me in my present position in the health-food industry where my customers are always seeking help with keeping their brains functioning well. I also care for my elderly mother and have already started to implement some of the recommendations outlined in the book. --Rhoda Fountain, retired Postmaster, counselor, and health food rep, Middleburg, Florida "Bob shows us how to live in wholeness by taking care of our brain, body, and soul. There is a lot of practical advice in the book about taking care of ourselves that we need to be reminded of on a regular basis. Bob weaves his life experiences of living in the human laboratories of foreign lands and clinical situations with grieving people to give us a glimpse of what a fulfilling, long life could be. Bob has modeled his book with his own life that shows us that age does not limit us from having a vibrant ministry and life. After losing my mother to Alzheimer's disease, it's refreshing to see a book that encourages us to exercise our mind along with our body. Ministers and lay people, regardless of their length of ministry, can increase their impact on their world by utilizing the advice in Bob's book." --Brent Beaird, M.Div., hospice chaplain for geriatric patients for over twenty years
Live Until You Die provides a guide on how to deal with fear and uncertainty while maximizing your unfavorable, undesired, and unpleasant adventures of life. As a physician who was diagnosed with cancer at the most inopportune time, the peak of my career, immediately after the death of a young cousin, and while enduring a pandemic; I hope to propose a perception twister while walking through my own personal struggles and surrender to the unknown. We all experience traumatic events and life-altering experiences at some point, in one form or another. Since life does not always happen the way we desire or expect, sometimes we lose ground by disconnecting, abandoning, or resenting a divine intervention. We will learn how to be our best in the worst of situations, while using those circumstances as a springboard to become better rather than a death sentence for life as we hoped. We are offered an opportunity to move beyond our desires, expectations, past mistakes, environmental woes, hurts, and hang-ups; while embracing every moment of what has and is happening to us. The freedom will come when we choose to become triumphant rather than a victim in times of uncertainty and during the inability to control situations. It is possible to find purpose and fulfillment in the heart of life’s battle, crawling or walking will propel you forward into your destiny. Just imagine, what if the worst thing ever could be turned into your passion for living life to the fullest every day!
