Sure, you figured out your gear. Sure you figured out the decompression tables. Why should figuring out your diver fitness be any different? So yes, you figured out your diver health program. Or so you thought. You had the motivation, the resources, and the guides. Just like a good dive plan, you had your exercise and food plans perfectly laid out. Your excitement was unparalleled, and this time, you'd conquer that stubborn scale. Fast forward three months. The mettle to continue is no longer there. Going after your diver fitness dreams is no longer fun or rewarding. Despair replaces excitement, frustration usurps the place of motivation, and confusion ensues as you cannot figure out where you went wrong. And it won't be the first time. The feeling will be all too familiar as you find yourself in this spot yet again. What do you keep doing wrong? Why is no program effective? Why do results evade you? Statistics show the failure rate for health and fitness programs is 88% within the first three months and 99% within one year. The latest advances in exercise science, nutrition, and medicine have done little to improve them. Could it be that it's time to discard the madness of focusing on the latest research, and focus instead, on what really matters? Failure is rarely due to lack of effort. Very few are as willing as scuba divers to invest time and resources to work on any factors that will improve their diving. The problem is that all the hard work and efforts are not channeled properly. The good news is that by learning to direct those efforts correctly, results materialize and become permanent. And this is what this book reveals. A solid foundation is crucial for the success of any endeavor and divers know this well. Unfortunately, when it comes to health and fitness, most people have little idea of what a solid foundation is. Good intentions and plans are excellent, but useless - and occasionally harmful - if done under the misguidance of a poor foundation. The book focuses on the largely ignored but irreplaceable foundation of preparing the mindset and its role in making your goals come to fruition. Many make the mistake of seeing it only as an emotional component, and erroneously believe that it is exercise or diet what creates lasting results. This book is written to help you, the diver, build a solid foundation that will allow your health and fitness dreams to flourish. It does so by reshaping your mindset and making it receptive to new -and occasionally conflicting- concepts. It will show you how the foundation of the mindset is largely ignored because it is so evident. It will show you how tapping into the power of the mindset is not the esoteric trickery to which it has been degraded, but rather, a continuum now widely recognized by science. As a diver, you are well acquainted with the power of the mindset and will be able to apply the lessons immediately. It was your mindset after all, what allowed you to conquer the fears that keep many away from the water. You will learn to harness this power to turn your dreams of a fit and healthy diver into a permanent reality.

Remember when you thought you had it all figured out? You had the motivation, the resources, and the guides. You were pumped and sure that this time, you'd conquer that stubborn scale. You planned your exercise, your food, and were more determined than ever to make it. Alas, after three months, it was no longer fun or rewarding. Excitement was replaced by despair, frustration usurped the place of motivation, and more confusion thwarted yet another promise. The feeling was unfortunately all too familiar as it was not the first time it had ever happened. What is it that you keep doing wrong? Why is no program effective? Why do results evade you? And sadly, you are not alone! Statistics show that the failure rate for those starting an exercise or nutrition program is 88% within the first three months. The picture is even bleaker in the long term, with the failure rate reaching 99% within one year. The latest advances in exercise science, nutrition, and medicine have done little to improve these dismal stats. Could it be that it's time to discard the madness of focusing on the latest research, and focus instead, on what really matters? When people fail, it is rarely for lack of effort. The real problem is that the efforts were misdirected. However, when those efforts are channeled properly, results materialize and become permanent. And this is what this book reveals. It cannot be argued that a solid foundation is crucial for the success of any endeavor, whether health related or not. Unfortunately, most people have a skewed understanding of what a solid foundation means. Good intentions and plans are excellent, but useless -and occasionally harmful- if done under the misguidance of a poor foundation. That's why most exercise and fitness programs fail. It is because they are built upon a feeble foundation, which in turn, makes most people sabotage their efforts unknowingly. The book is the non-diver version of Scuba Diving Fitness: The Missing Component Extortion, Bribes, And Shysters Cannot Get You. At the request of his scuba diving readers, Israel created a version with the same message without the diving references. This book focuses on the largely ignored but irreplaceable foundation of preparing the mindset, and how it manifests to materialize our goals. Many are afraid to address it because they only see it as an emotional component, and still embrace the outdated notion that it is exercise or diet what creates lasting results. This book is written to help you build a true solid foundation for your health and fitness dreams. It does so by reshaping your mindset and making it receptive to new -and occasionally conflicting- concepts. It will show you how the foundation of the mindset is largely ignored because it's so evident. It will show you how tapping into the power of the mindset is not the esoteric trickery to which it has been degraded, but rather, a continuum now widely recognized by science. It is only by learning to harness this power that you will finally be ready to turn your dream of a great body and great health, into a living reality. You will also be ready to ditch familiar but infective beliefs, and welcome the new methods and ideas that will make a difference but cannot survive in an outdated, toxic mindset.

First edition of Sinclair's savage satire, loosely based on the life and career of Edward L. Doheny, and the Teapot Dome scandal of the Harding administration. Although Sinclair's famous novel The Jungle deals with Chicago's meatpacking industry, he moved west to Pasadena in 1916 and began writing novels set in California, the best of which was Oil!, the story of the education of Bunny Ross, son of wildcat oil man Joe Ross after oil is discovered outside Los Angeles. The novel was the basis for Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 film There Will Be Blood. In California Classics, Lawrence Clark Powell called Oil! "Sinclair's most sustained and best writing."

The steadfast and sturdy Continental Op has been summoned to the town of Personville—known as Poisonville—a dusty mining community splintered by competing factions of gangsters and petty criminals. The Op has been hired by Donald Willsson, publisher of the local newspaper, who gave little indication about the reason for the visit. No sooner does the Op arrive, than the body count begins to climb . . . starting with his client. With this last honest citizen of Poisonville murdered, the Op decides to stay on and force a reckoning—even if that means taking on an entire town. Red Harvest is more than a superb crime novel: it is a classic exploration of corruption and violence in the American grain.

With an introduction by award-winning novelist Barbara Kingsolver In the late nineteenth century, when the great powers in Europe were tearing Africa apart and seizing ownership of land for themselves, King Leopold of Belgium took hold of the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. In his devastatingly barbarous colonization of this area, Leopold stole its rubber and ivory, pummelled its people and set up a ruthless regime that would reduce the population by half. . While he did all this, he carefully constructed an image of himself as a deeply feeling humanitarian. Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize in 1999, King Leopold’s Ghost is the true and haunting account of this man’s brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. It is also the inspiring and deeply moving account of a handful of missionaries and other idealists who travelled to Africa and unwittingly found themselves in the middle of a gruesome holocaust. Instead of turning away, these brave few chose to stand up against Leopold. Adam Hochschild brings life to this largely untold story and, crucially, casts blame on those responsible for this atrocity.
