Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Vautrin, as he was commonly addressed, retired on January 1, 2001. He did not know what he would do to occupy his time. He briefly considered a new hobby, painting, until he realized the space it would require and the messy environment it would create. In 2002, his astute wife, Thecla, registered them both in the Taproot workshop at their community library, Half Hollow Hills, New York. Taproot is a nonprofit organization for senior writers where the craft of writing is learned, practiced, and critiqued among the group. Maurice was not sure where to begin. Thanks to Thecla, who suggested he write short stories about his life and reflections, his enthusiasm took off and he wrote his memoirs. Here, he leaves his legacy, spanning nearly nine decades for his French and American families, his patients, and all his descendants. He wishes every family would leave to their loved ones such testimonies so rich for us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You dont feel well, so you call your doctor and get put on hold. The first available appointment is in three weeks. They ask about insurance. You tell them, HMO. It is now four weeks. You quickly say, PPO. Its back to three weeks. You plead and then yell. They say next week, angrily. You are now afraid they will mark your file and give you expired drugs made for rabid cows. You mention lawsuit. Theyll squeeze you in tomorrow. You arrive fifteen minutes early, wait three hours, and see the doctor for two minutes. The prescription drug you get keeps you in the bathroom. Your insurance refuses to pay. Collectors call. You now have high blood pressure, so you call your doctor. Youre put on hold. The first available appointment is in three weeks. Hassles like these are inherent in the idiocy, incompetence, and illogical nature of Americas health-care system. Author Bruce Abrahams is not a doctor; instead, hes a person with so many medical conditions that his medical alert bracelet simply states, Never mind. As a perennial patient, Abrahams shares embarrassing anecdotes and provides valuable tips in dealing with health-care difficulties for both healthy and health-challenged individuals. While carefully dissecting common difficulties using humor, Abrahams explores how to take charge of your health care. Prescription for Laughter offers practical advice from a patients perspective that will keep you laughing as you successfully navigate a complicated health-care system.

Book excerpt: Christine Clifford says, “laughter reaches a place no medicine can touch; the soul”. She firmly believes, that during her cancer, laughter saved something as important as her life during cancer: her spirit. All too often our sense of humor escapes us in times of trouble, yet Christine believes laughter has many therapeutic effects and can assist in fighting illness. She is founder of The Cancer Club® (www.CancerClub.com) and Laugh ‘Til It Heals is being published in response to the thousands of funny stories Christine has been collecting from Club members since she started the company in 1995. Laugh ‘Til it Heals explores the humorous side of cancer while also providing information on how to support someone who has cancer, and giving advice regarding beneficial nutrition. The book is also practical in citing resources created by cancer patients worldwide. As you read these touching stories you will laugh out loud with the storyteller. Laugh at the story of a woman chasing tumbleweed (her wig) across the parking lot on a windy day, or the woman who suffered the side effect of a powerful diuretic in public. As Christine says, “Don’t forget to laugh!”™ One of Christine’s members had been very depressed since her mastectomy. One day all that changed and she appeared to be much more back to her “old self”. A good friend noticed and asked her friend what the difference was. Her reply encapsulates the essence of the book, “Last Tuesday I just woke up and I realized that my sense of humor wasn’t in my left breast”. THE AUTHORChristine Clifford is a well-established author with an exceptional background in sales and marketing. She has enjoyed success with her previous books including her bestselling “Not Now … I’m Having a No Hair Day!”. Sixteen years on from having breast cancer she founded The Cancer Club® (www.TheCancerClub.com) which is the world’s largest producer of humorous and helpful products for people with cancer. Facing another overwhelming challenge, divorce, not just once but twice, Christine co-founded Divorcing Divas LLC® (www.DivorcingDivas.net). KEY SELLING POINTS* Christine believes Laughter: Prescription for a Cure! and advocates laughing when fate deals us a blow in order to overcome a problem. * The book also features advice from nine of the world's leading authorities on the use of therapeutic humor and contains practical information and guidance for cancer patients.* Christine Clifford is a media-savvy bestselling author and a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The triumphant true story of a woman who rode her horse across America in the 1950s, fulfilling her dying wish to see the Pacific Ocean, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Horse and The Eighty-Dollar Champion “The gift Elizabeth Letts has is that she makes you feel you are the one taking this trip. This is a book we can enjoy always but especially need now.”—Elizabeth Berg, author of The Story of Arthur Truluv In 1954, sixty-three-year-old Maine farmer Annie Wilkins embarked on an impossible journey. She had no money and no family, she had just lost her farm, and her doctor had given her only two years to live. But Annie wanted to see the Pacific Ocean before she died. She ignored her doctor’s advice to move into the county charity home. Instead, she bought a cast-off brown gelding named Tarzan, donned men’s dungarees, and headed south in mid-November, hoping to beat the snow. Annie had little idea what to expect beyond her rural crossroads; she didn’t even have a map. But she did have her ex-racehorse, her faithful mutt, and her own unfailing belief that Americans would treat a stranger with kindness. Annie, Tarzan, and her dog, Depeche Toi, rode straight into a world transformed by the rapid construction of modern highways. Between 1954 and 1956, the three travelers pushed through blizzards, forded rivers, climbed mountains, and clung to the narrow shoulder as cars whipped by them at terrifying speeds. Annie rode more than four thousand miles, through America’s big cities and small towns. Along the way, she met ordinary people and celebrities—from Andrew Wyeth (who sketched Tarzan) to Art Linkletter and Groucho Marx. She received many offers—a permanent home at a riding stable in New Jersey, a job at a gas station in rural Kentucky, even a marriage proposal from a Wyoming rancher. In a decade when car ownership nearly tripled, when television’s influence was expanding fast, when homeowners began locking their doors, Annie and her four-footed companions inspired an outpouring of neighborliness in a rapidly changing world.

Book excerpt: The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. Now with photos and new material. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans. John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good -- Marley was expelled. But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Marley & Me is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives.

Book excerpt: Dr. Brian King is a psychologist and stand-up comedian whose humor therapy seminars are attended by more than ten thousand people each year. In The Laughing Cure, King combines wit with medical research to reveal the benefits of laughter and humor on physical and emotional health. King’s language is humorous and uplifting, and his advice is backed in science. The Laughing Cure features clinical studies and interviews with some of the nation’s top doctors that prove that laughter lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, increases muscle flexion, boosts immune systems, and triggers endorphins. It’s been shown to relieve depression, to produce a general sense of wellbeing, even to make us more productive, loving, and kind. The Laughing Cure presents step-by-step guidance and proven techniques to embrace laughter as both medicine for current conditions and preventative medicine. This highly unique and enjoyable read explains why much-talked about, but little understood methods of therapy like those embraced by acclaimed humor doctor Patch Adams—played by Robyn Williams in a 1998 film—and laughter yoga actually work. Growing up, King wanted to be a stand-up comic; his PhD. was his backup plan. Little did he know, the impact his unique situation would put him in, the way it would allow him to help others. Very few doctors have the ability to heal the way that King does; his method is cheap, easy, chemical-free—even fun. With The Laughing Cure, readers will learn how—and why—laughter saves lives.
