Book Description
Better Than I Ever Expected is a warm, witty, and honest book that contends with the challenges and celebrates the delights of older-life sexuality. It asserts that women over sixty are at the top of their game when it comes to enjoying sex.
Joan Price’s woman-to-woman straight talk transcends the self-help style of other books in this field. Yes, there are challenges to sex after menopause and beyond, says Price, but there are also creative solutions. She is on a mission to let women her age and older know that they can, in fact, have the best sex of their lives. Price gets personal and stays positive, combining her own story with candid comments, tips, and sassy tales from sexually seasoned women. She acknowledges the gritty issues that older women confront in their sexual lives, noting that it’s not easy, but it certainly isn’t over.
At age 61, Price is newly engaged to the man she’s been looking for her whole life. Her discovery of how great “well-seasoned” sex can be was the inspiration for this book. Sidebars present candid and friendly sex tips; fitness, exercise, and lifestyle information; and women's erotic vignettes—both real-life experiences and fantasies.

Disappointed.......2007-07-14
I was very dissappointed in the content of this book. I would not recommend it to anayone.
Excellent Book.......2007-02-14
This was a great read. I appreciated learning that I am not the only one who was lacking in knowledge. Our parents tried to educate us without mentioning sex. I wish I had had this knowledge when I was in my twenties. My sex life would have been much better. I recommend this book to anyone - men, women, couples. I ordered a different book on tape first and felt it was a waste of money. This book is worth every penny and the resources are wonderful.
Like Sex Itself: Fascinating, Fun, and Educational.......2006-10-18
Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk About Sex After Sixty by Joan Price lives up to its title! Like sex itself, it is fascinating, fun, and educational: a how-to book for staying sexually active and enjoying it as we, men and women, mature. With stimulating anecdotes and clinical details, it leaves no sexual arena unexplored. It encourages us to move beyond age and sexual stereotypes and better understand ourselves and our bodies. It gives a variety of suggestions on how to surmount dryness, wrinkles, flaccidity, and the like, in order to continue exploring the frontiers of pleasure and intimacy. Wise and very respectful, Joan reminds us "Great sex is what's happening between two souls, two minds, two hearts--not just two bodies." This book is a testimony to love and creativity. EVERYONE will learn from it. It is what a book should be, enriching! I wholeheartedly recommend it.
We are not alone. .......2006-03-23
Thanks to Joan Price for having the courage and willingness to share her story with others and lead the way towards increasing sexual pleasure and possibilities for all of us. She speaks for all of us "seasoned women" who were told that our sex lives were over.
Better Than I Ever Expected.......2006-03-12
Joan Price really hit the mark with this book, just what I was looking for in regards to 60+ woman. I'm in my 50's and have been dating woman from 68 to 78. This book has help me understand the needs and wants of these wonderful sexy woman.

This book is exelent, but technical. If you enjoy learning about the brain, and you want to be healthier and hapier, buy this book today.

Since then I have been continuing my brain research, but this book was a good first step in order to understaning what causes anxiety/depression and offers exelent ditatry guides to help produce what you need in order to balance you brain, and your life.
enthusedCAMperson.......2004-04-16
I subscribe to several Complementary and Alternative Medicine newsletters, so I know a thing or two, and this is one of the best books on the mind, food, nutraceuticals and drugs I have ever seen! I adore this book! The questionaires to determine which neurotransmitters, if any, you are low on, is excellent. Their advice that if you are low on both dopamine and serotonin, you begin by replenishing serotonin first, is utterly sound, I can attest from my personal experience. Their recommendations on nutraceuticals are also sound (I've tried 'em all, and they are dead right, phosphatidylserine rules for building up both serotonin and dopamine.) Their advice on sleep and it's effect on one's neurotransmitters is excellent too. Just the few pages on hormones and their effects on neurotransmitters are worth the price of the book! I discovered everything they say about hormones from (most painful) personal experience, many months of research on the World Wide Web, and much experimentation. I hope if/when I am admitted to medical school I will have teachers half as good as these two MDs.
Balance Your Brain, Balance Your Life.......2004-04-09
This book is informative, interesting, and fun all at the same time. The quizzes really taught me something about myself that I never knew, and the program has made me feel so much better, both physically and mentally. I'm a much happier person now, thanks to this book.
Great new book!.......2004-04-07
The quizzes in this book are great. I was able to quickly figure out why I'm not feeling my best and then immediately start a plan to get myself back on track.
I've been on this plan for a few weeks and already have so much more energy -- I'm better rested, eating well, and exercising some too.
Book Description
What exactly is the basis for the Catholic Churchs belief in the role of the Pope What does the Catholic Church mean when it teaches that the Pope is Christs Vicar on earth And what does this teaching mean for Christians of other faith traditions Robert Stackpole STD addresses thoughtprovoking questions in his book St. Peter Lives in Rome which has been rereleased in this expanded and revised edition. Dr. Stackpole presents new evidence of support from the early Christian era for the papacy and even includes a timeline entitled Important Dates in the Early Story of the Petrine Primacy. Readers will be fascinated by this study that clears away misunderstandings about the papacy and clarifies its foundations in Scripture and early Church history.
Customer Reviews:
Very poor effort , Mark!.......2005-07-26
I had Mark's first book; it was a good program; so I ordered this thinking he had some new stuff added since it was 10 years from the last book. WRONG! This is a disappointing waste of money and time. First, no illustrations of the excercises since I forgot what some were( and he gives them crazy names too) , secondly, he just devotes a couple of paragraphs to "rah, rah you can do it" philosophy and nutrition. The book ends up being book of charts to check off as you go thru his "program". Then he pitches some supplements he obviously owns thru a company. Very disappointing...not up to the SEAL creed of performance I say.And he doesn't include swimming in the program. Do yourself a favor..don't waste you money. If you are famaliar with the pyramid method of working out, do that and increase the reps as you need too.
Very Helpful.......2003-10-29
Very good book and worth buying. You may want to buy two because I use mine like a log book and its a 12 week program. Its a tweleve week program broken down to begginer, intermediate, and advance so all will like it. I highly recommend any of Mark DeLisle books as great buys.
All of his workouts are designed to give like he states a "triathlete" body profile, not a bodybuilder profile. If your looking for practical fitness this is the place to start.

Order the book, AND the DVD........2007-08-17
I was considering buying the "Posture Alignment" book by Paul D'Arezzo, but decided to buy "Posture, Get It Straight..." by Janice Novak along with the DVD. And boy, am I ever satisfied with both items. I find the book to be very easy to read, with basic, but invaluable information. The exercises/stretches are simple to do, but you'll feel completely refreshed/satisfied/better after doing them.
I particularly loved the section on food intake and the specific amount of calcium/potassium/magnesium/vitamins and other minerals and supplements that your body require on a daily basis, in order to have not just healthy bones, but an overall healthy body.
Not to say the exercise instructions on the book is difficult to follow, but if you're the type of person that benefit greatly from visual examples, then the DVD is the perfect accompaniment to the book. It takes a lot of the exercises (not all) directly from the book and put it into visual form for you to understand. For some reason, the reviewers for the DVD version neglect to mention this fact, but there's a resistance band that's included with the DVD. You'll find the book has a lot of exercises that required the use of a resistance band. However, if you get the DVD, you'll have all the necessary tools to get started toward a healthy body.
I absolutely recommend the book and the DVD, 5 Stars, anything less is an insult to Janice Novak's 20+ years of experience and her programs.
Read this!.......2006-10-05
Posture, Get it Straight! discusses the widely overlooked secret to long term health care--our posture and how it affects our body, attitudes and outlook on life. More often than not we are reminded that exercise is needed to keep off weight while posture is not discussed. The good news is that regardless of the condition your posture is in, Janice Novak suggests it can immediately be corrected and improve your well being by simply adjusting sitting or standing positions.
Using her suggested stretching exercises to help limber up muscles, trains them for straight posture. My favorite sitting exercise is the trapezoid stretch, which I use when I find myself hanging my head forward while working on the computer. I was amazed to learn that sleeping with a pillow between the knees not only protects the lower back alignment and prevents the weight of the thigh from pulling on the hip socket; it also protects the posture.
After several weeks of using the suggested stretches the author offers, I discovered that good posture affects every area of our lives whether it is recreational or work related.
This book is an excellent reminder that good health begins with posture and that it does play a significant role in our personal long-term care. Who knew that something so simple that harkens back to my mother telling me to straighten my shoulders would be something I still need to be reminded of!
Armchair Interviews says: With so many of us getting computer-itist, this is a great book to put us back in order.
Practical advice, easy to put in practice.......2006-09-20
I like doing things the easy way with the least amount of work and that's why I found "Posture, Get It Straight" to be invaluable. The drawings help me understand what I'm supposed to be doing and the author is very complete with explanations and instructions.
Because I sit at a computer for most of my workday, I tend to become round in the shoulders and both my neck and mid back get very sore. There is a chapter called "The ABCs of computer comfort" that explains how to set up your mouse, monitor, keyboard and chair so that you put the least amount of stress on your various body parts. One thing the author mentions that never occurred to me is to tilt the monitor so it can be viewed with bifocals. I've been perching my glasses on the end of my nose and bending my neck to get just the right view. No more!
There are lots of exercise and stretches to do to build muscles in various areas and they actually feel good to do. The exercises can easily be done around the house using walls and chairs as props but some require the use of a resistance band. I particularly like the door frame stretch for shoulders and chest and the foot exercises to help strengthen arches that get beat up from wearing high heels.
Other chapters in "Posture, Get it Straight" cover how to sit on a plane or in an automobile, how to choose a pillow and how to sit while doing crafts. Whether your concern is posture while pregnant or how to avoid osteoporosis, you will find some practical suggestions.
The subtitle of the book is, "look ten year younger, ten pounds thinner, & feel better than ever!" I think it must be true because since I've been practicing better posture, people have asked me if I've lost weight.
I'd recommend this book to anyone of any age. It will help you understand how your body works and how you can use your body more efficiently by keeping it aligned.

The 22 Non-Negotiable Laws of Wellness.......2006-11-04
This was a wonderful insiteful book. Easy to pick up and read and think about each law. Very comprehensive. Covered catagories that I would never considered as part of wellness.
Inspirational & Enlightening.......2005-03-25
Upon reading the first few paragraghs of this book, I knew it would be special. Anderson focuses on the holistic approach to living well. Laws such as being personally responsible for ourselves is especially relevent is these days where everyone claims to be a victim of something or another. The Law of Esprit: Realize that each day is a gift. The Law of Minimal Medical Invasiveness: You are the most important person on your medical team, not your doctor or anyone else. Take care of your health. The list goes on. Go ahead and buy this book; you will not be disappointed.
Laws you can actually live by.......2002-04-30
Greg Anderson's laws of wellness are not just words but actual laws you can live by. Each one can be applied to our own lives. I especially liked the the first law - the law of Esprit - the joy you feel is life! How true! I bought this book in 1998 and have read it several times. Yes, sometimes I need reminders on how I should be living. Excellent book.
I read this book four years ago or so...........2001-05-17
I don't even remember the details of why i liked this book so much, but I can tell you the way it made me feel. Maybe this was the first book that inspired me, or made me pick Psychology as my major. Maybe it was the fact it showed me that cancer survivors can live normal lives or it taught me about mind over matter.. it was such a long time ago but I know that I remembered this book---its like you see a good movie or read a book that makes you feel like you can acomplish anything! that's what this book did for me.
Laws to live by.......2001-01-21
The author has personally recovered from cancer ( near death - just30 days to live), by living the laws, he suggests others to live by. The key passage is in chapter 19 where he discusses how he discovered the law of forgiveness and applied it in his case. Similarly the law of unity is an important observation. We are body,mind and spirit. The book is easy to read. He uses no jargons. He also emphasises how these laws are connected to each other.

Book Description
If you’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, you’re probably concerned about a host of health issues and may already be thinking of the coming dietary changes. As your doctor probably explained, a good eating plan, low weight, and an active lifestyle are among the most important factors in limiting the disease’s impact and in continuing to live a full and healthy life. But you don’t know where to begin.
Enter Carol Guber, a twenty-year veteran of the food industry who holds a master’s in nutrition and is a nationally recognized authority on food and nutrition. When she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, she refused to accept the diagnosis lying down. Realizing that she was going to have to approach life in a new and vibrant fashion, Carol launched herself into what she describes as “guerilla warfare” against diabetes. She knew she was in for some changes, having been accustomed to gourmet meals and the finest, richest foods. And she also knew the consequences of ignoring her doctor’s advice. With her trademark gusto, she was soon enjoying a whole new menu and working out unabashedly alongside gym babes.
Carol tried to choose physical activities that would be fun and dynamic, knowing that she had to enjoy herself as well as engage her mind, body and spirit in order to stay healthy. So she began running on a treadmill. She started to lift light weights. She even took up boxing. After several months, her spirited war on diabetes had helped her lose weight and reduce her glucose by 40 percent. Now she hosts workshops for men and women trying to develop their own diabetes-fighting lifestyle. She likes to say that you have to make a whole new life for yourself–often one that ends up being fuller and more active than you’ve ever dreamed. In her Type 2 Diabetes Life Plan, Carol shares her encouraging insight, bringing us with her along the path toward a richer and more vital life with diabetes.
Going beyond her personal success, Carol provides a complete guide to a medical condition that is becoming increasingly widespread. Covering biology, physiology, genetics, medication, and lifestyle issues, she also offers day-to-day advice for finding the mental stamina to stay active and make healthy dietary selections, even when dining out or away from home. Offering motivation as well as information, Carol Guber’s Type 2 Diabetes Life Plan is a true lifeline for all of us living with diabetes from a remarkable woman who’s living proof of victory.
