The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

great overview of reasonable health principles
The course was by a 70ish year old MD with a scientific understanding of health principles. Dr Anthony Goodman is currently 78! What better person to learn from? The course puts all those health concepts together for me that I'd forgotten or missed since college. I needed this refresher course. The course reminds you to stop listening to fake health news. Stop chasing the latest fad diet or supplement. Stick with whole foods and he quotes Pollan mostly plants and not too much. Eat a balanced diet of healthy carbohydrates, lean protein, healthy fat. Reduce eating processed foods especially sugar and flour. Good luck. Be healthy. Slow down and think about what you're putting in your body starting with the macro molecules.

Great book by Great Courses. Thoroughly enjoyed it and Dr. Goodman's delivery had my wife eavesdropping. Would definitely recommend.
