The Traveling Curmudgeon: Irreverent Notes, Quotes, and Anecdotes on Dismal Destinations, Excess Baggage, the Full Upright Position, and Other Reasons Not to Go There

On the theory that an account of a pleasant journey is best not thrust upon friends and strangers, that a disaster makes for a more entertaining story, here is a gathering of quotes, commentary, and anecdotes about the travails of travel, the downright strangeness of foreign places, and rueful encounters on the road. Abetted by a parade of well-known curmudgeons, Jon Winokur offers a thousand reasons not to go there. The Traveling Curmudgeon proves that travel and all things related to going from here to there — destinations, the locals, the tourists, the food, the accommodations, and, oh my god, the souvenirs we drag home — are all grist for a very entertaining mill.

Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential

10th Anniversary Edition: Updated with New Chapter & Foreword
Pastor Joel Osteen asks everyone to examine what he or she really believes. Why is this important? Because we will become what we believe. Our beliefs will prove either a barrier or vehicle as we strive to go higher, rise above our obstacles, and to live in health, abundance, and victory.

In YOUR BEST LIFE NOW Osteen says, “I am what I am today because of what I believed about myself yesterday. And I will be tomorrow what I’m believing about myself right now. God sees us as more than conquerors, able to fulfill our destiny. We need to see ourselves through the eyes of our Creator.” He says that our self-image should mirror exactly what God says about us, not what we feel or think. And he encourages readers to be people of faith, for if you can see the invisible, God will do the impossible.

Tom Clancy Full Force and Effect (A Jack Ryan Novel)

A North Korean ICBM crashes into the Sea of Japan. A veteran CIA officer is murdered in Ho Chi Minh City, and a package of forged documents goes missing. The pieces are there, but assembling the puzzle will cost Jack Ryan, Jr. and his fellow Campus agents precious time. Time they don’t have. 
 
The challenge facing President Jack Ryan is an old one with a terrifying new twist. The international stalemate with North Korea continues into its seventh decade.  A young, untested dictator is determined to prove his strength by breaking the deadlock. Like his father before him, he hangs his plans on the country’s nuclear ambitions. Until now, that program was impeded by a lack of resources. However, there has been a dramatic change in the nation’s economic fortune. A rich deposit of valuable minerals have been found in the Hermit Kingdom.  Coupled with their nuclear capabilities, the money from this find will make North Korea a dangerous force on the world stage.
 
There’s just one more step needed to complete this perfect plan…the elimination of the president of the United States.

Effective Life Skills — Complete Body & Mind Relaxation, Full Version, Audio Cassette TAPE, (Progressive Muscle Relaxation for Stress Management & Reduction) (Relaxation & Stress Management/Reduction)

This progressive relaxation recording is ideal for creating the deepest possible physical relaxation that releases and discharges all traces of stress and tension from your entire body, and then clears & calms your mind. It works so effectively by systematically tensing & relaxing each of the major muscle groups and areas of your body, beginning at the tips of your toes, and slowly & sequentially moving up through each area, until reaching the very top of your head. With practice, this process will retrain your brain to recognize whenever any part of you is carrying stress or tension, and allow you to rapidly release it. Therefore, this technique becomes a powerful aid to you in preventing the build-up of stress and tension in your body & mind, in repairing & preventing the damage of accumulation of tension and stress, and creating a more relaxed physical and mental state as your “new baseline”, becoming your normal way of living & coping. This relaxation state enhances your immune system, reduces the negative impact of stressors on your body (including health problems), strengthens your ability to respond in a beneficial & constructive way to life’s challenges, stresses, physical & emotional demands — all because your body & mind’s resources are no longer being drained by chronic and/or intense stress or tension. Even if you feel that you have never been able to completely relax, you will find that you can relax more & more deeply with this than ever before. IMPORTANT NOTE: The progressive relaxation technique is like a “mini workout” of stretching, strengthening, and tension-releasing resistance exercises for your muscle groups. The process requires your active participation, both physically & mentally, in an interactive guided program of stress/tension release & deep relaxation. ALSO, there are two different versions: BRIEF (approx. 25- 30 minutes); and FULL (approx. 50-60 minutes). Cassette tapes are specially made when ordered to ensure quality of recording.
