The miraculous account of the man who survived alone and adrift at sea longer than anyone in recorded history. For fourteen months, Alvarenga survived constant shark attacks. He learned to catch fish with his bare hands. He built a fish net from a pair of empty plastic bottles. Taking apart the outboard motor, he fashioned a huge fishhook. Using fish vertebrae as needles, he stitched together his own clothes. Based on dozens of hours of interviews with Alvarenga and interviews with his colleagues, search and rescue officials, the medical team that saved his life and the remote islanders who nursed him back to health, this is an epic tale of survival.

In The Science of Mind Management, Swami Mukundananda charts the four different aspects of the human mind and lays down a clear path towards mastering it. Through witty anecdotes, real-life accounts and stories from the Vedic scriptures, he gently guides readers on the road to winning their inner battle." --Amazon.

For those who have difficulty achieving goals, this self-help guide offers a simple approach to making lasting behavioral changes for success. Some people struggle every single day to improve but seem to take three steps back for every two steps forward. People tell them it’s because they lack willpower or because they’re weak or don’t want something badly enough. But they know that’s not true. Health and Wellness coach Kathlyn Heim helps those who are constantly struggling to create lasting change in their lives finally make their changes stick. The Rule of Nines lays out an individualized nine-step approach to goal identification, achievement, and permanent success that helps readers understand why they’ve failed in the past and shows them how to effectively change their actions moving forward. Although there are plenty of goal achievement guides, Kathlyn works in the missing piece of deep self-reflection that’s necessary for lasting change. Rather than being based on an external reward system, The Rule of Nines focuses on an internal reward system through self-discovery, making it possible for readers to live the life they desire and proving that it really is never too late to change.
