Nothing matters more than our health. Our lifestyle choices, nutrition, sleep, and exercise, influence our healthspan and our lifespan. We must be the CEO of our own health. We have to live with the lifestyle and health decisions we make.
A Harvard Medical School study indicated that the half-life of medical knowledge is 18 - 24 months and it's headed to be 73 days. Medical technology advances are moving so quickly that doctors can't keep up. A Mayo Clinic research study found that only 12% of first and second opinions of doctors were the same. Continuing to do your own research and getting multiple opinions before determining a course of action is critical.

Andrews' writing and narrating style flow like calm waters on a sunny day. He offers terrific leadership and relationship advice, along with stories and parables.
Andrews describes the importance of grit and not quitting. Quitting is normal for some people, he indicates. He inspires, motivates, and shares his perspective on success and deciding what you want for your life.
He reminds us of the phrase many of us heard from our mothers, "Just because everyone else is jumping off the bridge, does that mean you will jump also?" Andrews indicates that extremely successful people don't follow the crowds and are often viewed as different.
What really stood out for me is that Andrews' book, The Traveler's Gift: Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success was turned down by 51 publishers over a three and a half year period. The 52nd publisher said "Yes," and it has sold millions of copies in many different languages.
Brierley highly recommends determining your spiritual purpose for the journey on the Camino. The book is filled with personal reflections from pilgrims who have traveled the path.
There are detailed maps, along with distances, for each route. Brierley also indicates whether there are water fonts along the way to refill water bottles. He thoroughly describes the terrain and the types of walking trails.
The size of the book, along with pages to write personal reflections makes it a great guide to pack for the Camino.....while being mindful of ensuring your backpack is only 10% of your bodyweight.
The Camino de Santiago is on my bucket list and I'm determined to make the trip a reality. ...more
