Happy September, SynerLINK friends,
I am very excited to officially announce the launch of my new book, 7 Foundations of Health and Happiness: Building a Bridge to Balance. This book will guide you in creating your own balanced life. Based on the best of ancient wisdom traditions and modern scientific research, this program is life balance for the “real world”. If you want to create a science-based, practical plan for greater health and happiness, this book is here to help you achieve that goal. This book poses essential questions to help you assess your current level of balance using the ground-breaking Pillar System. It then walks you step-by-step through the stages of self-assessment, self-acceptance, and self-change to build your ideal life.
You can buy a fillable e-book in PDF format directly through my site, which is currently on sale for 1/3 off the regular price:

As part of the new book launch, I have also updated and expanded 7 Foundations of Health and Happiness: First Steps, which is still available free on my website. Please send your friends, family, and colleagues to the site to get their very own free copy.
My favorite article this month explores the power of the word “No”. Our creativity, our energy, and our contribution to the world are well served by learning how to use it. What can you say “no” to this month? How would that serve your greater goals and purpose?
