I've been going through my book collection in order to get ready for the St. Joseph's School Book Bonanza. I like to donate as many books as I can part with so I can restock my shelves.
It can be a hard decision for someone like me with a fanatical love of books. I try to have good intentions to load up numerous boxes, but every time I make the attempt, I fail. I can tell you now which books I did not give away - you will quickly figure out I am an avid reader of health books.
I am not the only one, however. I noticed many books are missing from my office shelf that I loaned out long ago.
“Molecules of Emotion,” by Candace B. Pert, Ph.D. is a favorite I refer to often. Pert provided a great breakdown of biochemistry and actually made it interesting. Not only did she explain a new depth to cellular communication in the body, she proclaimed how the mystical processes of science are spiritual.
“Anatomy of the Spirit,” by Carolyn Myss, Ph.D. is another keeper for me because she revealed how biography becomes biology and personal power is necessary for health. Richard O'Connor, Ph.D. leapt right in to the brain and body connection with regards to stress and modern day illness in his book “Undoing Perpetual Stress.”
Personal improvement books may not be health specific but certainly confirm the importance of holistic living. Some of my favorites include: “Success is Not an Accident,” by Tommy Newberry; “Aligned Thinking,” by Jim Steffen; and “Awaken the Giant Within,” by Anthony Robbins.
Joseph Mercola, DO, has many superb reference books on diet and healing. “The No Grain Diet” in my opinion provides the boldest explanation why many people fail at weight loss. Nancy Lee Bentley, who grew up in Skaneateles, also co-authored Mercola's “Total Health Program,” which includes an easy to answer test to determine a person's metabolic type. She autographed my copy when she was in town for her high school reunion.
I also have a collection of books written by chiropractors. My most recent purchase is “The 100 Year Lifestyle,” by Eric Plasker, D.C. In his book, he wished his grandfather a happy 100th birthday. He noted more people have the chance to reach the age of 100 and older, but they have to be mentally, physically and financially prepared to enjoy it. It is a thorough guide for anyone who wants to make it a “sensational century.”
I met Pennsylvania chiropractor, Dr. Joseph Strauss, one year before I enrolled in Chiropractic College. His book, “Enhance Your Life Experience,” is on my reception room table because of its user friendly approach to expanding one's health potential.
I won't pack any of these in my beach bag this summer because I don't want them to get ruined by the sand and water. Like I said, they are keepers. And, you won't see them at the Book Bonanza unless they are books I loaned out.
