A Trifecta for the Rest of Us



A Trifecta for the Rest of Us:

Because Travel, Fulfillment & Peace Should Be Obtainable by All 


How would I describe this manuscript?

A manual that should be kept on-hand as you're striving to find your place in the world.


What else can a say about it?

.....

It's thin.

Or, perhaps short is the appropriate adjective in this digital age.

This isn't a philosophical essay.

I don't go into long, drawn-out arguments about intangibles or fanciful concepts.

The information provided in this manuscript is meant to be acted upon, not meditated upon.

…..

Perhaps I should stick to my Amazon description…

Travel Guide for Survivalists

Finding your place in the world should not be the exclusive reality of the rich.

TRAVEL... FULFILLMENT... PEACE...

These things should be had by all who possess the vision to strive for them.

The New Psychology

 

The New PSYCHOLOGY:

A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)


These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how our mind works. I hope I have done them justice. Welcome to the deep woods...

All teachers are inspired by the idea, however hopeful, that we are getting something across that someday, someway, will benefit our students, make their life better, and give them the tools that they need to understand a very difficult world.

In psychology, students flock to our courses, eager to learn the lessons of life, how their mind works, and how to understand others. They want to understand what the world is really all about. Yet what they learn is often that they must memorize vast amounts of data and studies that make little sense in how to apply what they learn to the real world. They memorize what they need to know to pass a test, not what they need to know to understand life.

This is a B&W, less expensive version of the original book. 474 pages, fully illustrated. An easy-to-read view of the reality of how the mind works.

“Examples are not another way to teach, Examples are the only way to teach.” Albert Einstein

HOW IS RUNNING CHANGING YOUR LIFE?


  • Are you a runner looking for a  new way to track your progress? 🏃

  • Introducing the runner journal! 📓

  • Designed with a beautiful hardbound cover, this journal features daily and weekly reflections to track and review your progress. 📊

  • With this journal, you can set quantifiable and qualitative targets to improve your health and reach your running goals. 🎯

  • Get started on your running journey today! 🏃‍♀️

Running can have a dramatic impact on your life in a variety of ways. Recording qualitative rather than quantitative progress is one of the greatest ways to learn about yourself.


We are usually motivated quantitatively (i.e., intensity, duration, frequency, distance, and so on.) through the limitless gadgets and apps we have become addicted to.

However, how many times have you gone beyond the numbers to assess your qualitative running improvements? You may notice a lot of things about yourself while running, but what is it like? What are the benefits, and what life changes does it bring? We may also be inspired by running. Running can inspire you to feel more comfortable with your own skin, take pride in your accomplishments, and appreciate the beauty of nature.

That is what this Journal is all about!

The Journal structure is as follows. You can record the quantifiable and qualitative targets on the 'All I Want to Accomplish' pages, such as the races you are preparing for and your goals. What do you think you'll gain from them?
You can also set targets to improve your health, such as weight loss, diabetes control, anxiety reduction, and better sleep. This Journal is divided into daily reflections, weekly reflection summaries, monthly reflection summaries, and a couple of empty pages at the end to add more reflections.
This Journal will be a triannual publication to improve portability and maximise consistency.

French Roll

 


French Roll:

Misadventures in Love, Life, and

Roller Skating Across the French Riviera



Would you roller-skate 800 miles across the French Riviera for love? In this true adventure top 5 bestseller, teenage Michael skates solo from Italy to Spain to meet his girlfriend, despite her overprotective father and a country of topless beaches between them.

In the exemplary spirit of Bill Bryson and Cheryl Strayed, “French Roll” is hailed as "beautiful, fast-paced, and moving. While overcoming the physical challenges of skating up and down impossibly steep hills, critics boast “this lovely book captures the exuberance of youth, the joy of chasing dreams. A perfect read for shelter-in-place, it reminds us of the bountiful world waiting to be discovered. A pleasure to read, highly recommend!"

From the icy peaks of Germany to the steamy beaches of France, this coming-of-age story begins when Michael, 19, gets a letter from his girlfriend asking him to meet her in Barcelona. He quits his daredevil job at the top of the German Alps and plots a risky two-month trek across the coast of southern France — alone, on roller skates. He leaves his alpine friends behind to follow his heart with only a backpack, ski poles, and roller skates.

Even being chased down impossibly steep mountain roads by tour busses and ritzy sports cars can’t keep an American teenager down, especially when he’s delivering an engagement ring… and a dark confession. It was supposed to be fun and easy, but when disaster strikes his love life and a spectacular wipeout leaves him a heartbeat away from roadkill status, Michael must emerge from his tenderfoot life and learn some difficult lessons about growing up.

Rolling over every inch of the French Riviera, European history, art history, and French culture come together in this off-the-grid, true tale of living in the moment, creating your true self, and living to write about it.

Challenges of Tawa

 


Challenges of Tawa

(The Sky Elders Book 1)


Three hundred years is far too short a time for angry gods to make peace with their enemies.

Young Tawa is the impetuous son of the tribal chieftain. While out hunting, he encounters a flying monster, but no one believes him when he shares what he has witnessed. The Itiwana tribe soon learn they have more than just a monster to worry about. Ancient powerful Sky Elders have returned after three hundred years, and they’re still angry.

The Summer Sky Elders are pursuing their perpetual war with the Winter Sky Elders, and the mortal realm is once more caught in the middle of their titanic struggle.

After his father sacrifices himself, Tawa must assume his role as chieftain. Mentored by the shape-shifting Manabazo, Tawa trains to become a leader and a warrior. He must find the sacred Tree of Life and protect his people from the never-ending waves of monsters, witches, and Vikings sent by the Winter Elders to destroy them. If he fails, an endless winter will cover the Earth and all life will cease.

Will he be able to find what has been hidden even from the gods themselves?
