 "The Work" is a simple yet powerful method designed to promote happiness through a direct inquiry into the nature of suffering. Cultivated directly from Byron Katie’s own experiences with clinical depression, The Work promotes an immediate change in our emotional perception through an unbiased acknowledgment of the truth – not the truth we want but the truth as it is. Once we know the truth and rationalize it unconditionally, we allow the emotion to be put in perspective. This renders a sense of immediate relief by allowing us to let go of unnecessary pain associated with circumstances outside of our control. Accepting reality as it plays out, grants us with a limitless freedom to deal with situations on our own terms. Since 1986, Katie has introduced The Work to thousands of people in over 30 countries, and has adapted it for use in corporations, universities, schools, churches, prisons and hospitals. Byron Katie has been like a magnet to millions of men and women worldwide who come to see her to heal their relationships with themselves, to lose weight and rid themselves of addictions, depression as well as save their relationships with loved ones including their marriages. TIME magazine recently named Katie "a visionary for the new millennium." In March 2002 she published her first book, Loving What Is, co-authored with author and husband Stephen Mitchell.

 Howard Martin is the Executive Vice President of HeartMath® LLC, an organization devoted to teaching a practical, ten-step method for harnessing the heart’s intelligence. Martin has made a fascinating correlation between our heart’s rhythm and our emotions. A fast incoherent rhythm may stimulate an emotion of anxiety, fear or anger. Emotions directly relate to our ability to accomplish goals. If our goal is to lose weight, the way we respond to food, if based on an irrational feeling, can seriously sabotage our well intended weight loss efforts. Harnessing the power of emotions is a key and often overlooked aspect of a successful effort to attain our desired weight. Co-author of The HeartMath Solution, along with the method’s founder Doc Childre, Martin acts as its key spokesperson and has conducted nationwide training sessions for Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, school systems and religious organizations. A former professional drummer, Martin recently used his musical talent to co-produce Childre's award-winning recording, Heart Zones, which spent 50 consecutive weeks on Billboard Magazine's charts. Martin has been interviewed by numerous programs and publications including CNN, Inside Edition, the A&E Channel, the Discovery Channel, New York Newsday, and US News and World Report.

 “Degenerative diseases that involve fats prematurely kill over two-thirds of the people currently living in affluent, industrialized nations.” After healing himself from a life-threatening disease, Dr. Udo Erasmus, Ph.D., introduced the importance of essential fats (EFA's) derived from organic flax seeds to the world. He pioneered methods for producing unrefined oils made with health in mind which are still used today by manufacturers of flax and other oils. Starting in the mid-1980's, Dr. Erasmus popularized the use of flax oil through an endless number of public lectures, which eventually led to TV and radio interviews. His groundbreaking book, Fats that Heal Fats That Kill, became the industry's bible on fats. Later he developed an oil blend, called Udo's Choice, which is an improvement on flax oil, offering a better ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6. This oil blend contains everything we need from fats and nothing we should avoid. In a nutshell, Dr. Erasmus is the reason there are high quality, unrefined flax oils and other important seed oils found in refrigerators in health food stores and in health-minded practitioners' dispensaries around the world.
“Go to the dictionary and look up the words horrible, ugly, painful, expensive, selfish, cruel, ferocious, relentless, and fearful. Each of these words describes diabetes.” -- Walter M. Bortz, II, M.D.
We learn that worldwide there are one billion overweight people, which represents a doubling in 20 years. In addition, this tendency is continuing as China and India are becoming more westernized. For example, between 1989 and 1997, the number of overweight Chinese men has tripled and that of Chinese women has doubled. “By 2030, India will have 62 million citizens with diabetes. That is equal to the entire population of Great Britain or France today!” And yet, there is hope. Dr. Bortz tells us what we can do to heal and age with dignity.
