My good friend, Szifra Birke, has written a powerful book that she is literally *giving away.* It’s about how ten people who grew up with alcoholism in the family—and most important how they change their lives.

While I personally did NOT grow up in an alcoholic family – in my 8 years of working with people, I bump into people every day who have every reason to be happy, but they’re not. At work, they feel like frauds waiting to be found out, as parents they want to be better and don’t know how. Their relationships with spouses or even employees aren’t what they want them to be. They just want to be content but can’t find peace of mind.

When I first met Szifra, I knew she had something to share. Szifra has figured out how to do what most people only dream about doing– move past a really tough childhood and have a happy, content life with lots of friends, loving family, work that is satisfying and have a great time, too.

Why would she just give away her book? It turns out there are three excellent reasons.

First, there used to be lots of attention in the media that helped people from high-stress and alcoholic families know they were not alone. She’s on a mission to get the word out again because as she says, “no one has to feel alone, ashamed or isolated. We all have insecurities, fears, self-doubts—and can learn to be more confident, comfortable and be better parents. Recovery and results are in reach—we just need to give people the tools.”

Secondly, she invites us all (without any obligation) to make a token donation to help children of alcoholics–figuring that if she’s willing to give us the book, and we get help from it, we might want to help also. There is no obligation; you get the book first, then have the option to donate if you like. (She’ll give you the website link in her email).

And last, she believes that giving it away for a short time, and putting it in the hands of selected people who will create success with it, is a way to make a difference. I have to agree.

Regardless, it’s a great deal—yes, free— and a great book–take a look:

I particularly like how she and her co-author have written such an easy-to-read book; it’s like a novel with ten people sitting in group therapy telling us about themselves. It’s a good read and can you learn more about yourself or someone you love. . And if you enjoy this offer as I did, pass it on to your friends, family, clients– let them score a free valuable book and do some good for charity at the same time.

I want to share this with you all, it’s a fantastic explanation why you need to BREATHE and stretch!!!

My friend and Mentor Roger Salam started doing this exercise regimen when his Doctor told him he needed to be on medication for cholesterol. After he started getting wonderful results in his life, he shared this video with people he cares about. Sorta like I’m doing with you!! Feel free to share it with folks YOU care about!

You see when Roger went back to the Dr. for a retest after he’d been implementing this exercise into his daily routine, the Dr. thought there had been a mistake because the results were normal. Hmm. Just from breathing, exercising and of course proper diet.

Although I can’t tell you what to do with your body, I can certainly tell you what my friends, my wife and I have been doing with ours.

Watch this entire video a few times all the way through, and participate in the exercises as best you can.

When you are ready, you can use the shorter version below.

Here’s to your extended life and feeling better!!!
