Summary

Morning Stretch Gains reveals how brief daily stretching can boost both physical vitality and mental clarity, blending ancient practices with modern science. The book centers on three key insights: morning stretches improve circulation by dilating blood vessels, reduce stress hormones like cortisol, and trigger mood-enhancing endorphins. These effects—backed by studies in cardiology and psychology—are accessible to all fitness levels, requiring just 5-7 minutes. By framing stretching as foundational as hydration or sleep, the book positions it not as a luxury but a practical tool for time-pressed lives.

Unlike generic wellness guides, Morning Stretch Gains combines peer-reviewed research with customizable "micro-routines." Early chapters explain the physiology behind stretches’ benefits, such as how muscle activation increases oxygen delivery to the brain. Later sections tackle habit formation, offering strategies to embed stretching into existing routines without willpower battles. The book’s unique strength lies in balancing scientific rigor (citing sources like The American Journal of Cardiology) with relatable analogies—comparing habit-building to "brushing teeth" for consistency. It addresses common debates, like static vs. dynamic techniques, by prioritizing daily practice over perfection.

Targeting busy professionals, parents, and fitness newcomers, the guide progresses from theory to action, ending with posture guides and progress trackers. Its interdisciplinary approach—tying stretching to neuroscience and mindfulness—makes it a versatile entry point for holistic health. By demystifying research and focusing on small, sustainable changes, Morning Stretch Gains turns mornings into a gateway for lasting well-being.

In the Black - Changing the...

T. Dallas Smith

With In the Black, T. Dallas Smith identifies the centrality of honest and open relationships to success within the world of high-dollar commercial real estate deals. His advice to “build relationships before you need them” is complemented by personal stories highlighting the importance of identifying one’s advocates. Smith is keen to recognize the people — some of them sense-making and some of them unexpected — who helped lift him up in a field the primary practice of which has been to reject diversity among its practitioners. Smith shows how making one’s way in an industry that has historically rejected Black men and women may be challenging but is in no way impossible. His own story is proof that one can both be a trailblazer and use one’s hard-won position to open doors for others.

Brotherhood

Joseph Benner

YOU who have reached that stage in your climb to the heights where you are no longer seeking anything of self, having tasted of all that the outer world and its human teachers can offer, and something within is strongly insisting that you begin to prove and demonstrate what you have learned by living it and using it to help others who are still seeking;

You who have not yet had this experience, but who are moved by a strong loving desire to help lift the load from those less fortunately situated, and who would know what is that insistent something within, and whose the voice that thus calls; 
Know, one and all, what you feel is My Love quickening into conscious active life in your heart, and what you hear is My Voice calling you to make ready for the Work I have been preparing you for — a Work that is your Work, long waiting for you to do, — when you have proven that self is no longer in control, and that you are willing to let Me lead the remainder of the way.

Is This Seat Taken? - It's Never...

Kristin S. Kaufman

“Now, what do I do?!”

I dare say, there is not a single person who at least once in his or her life has not faced an unexpected situation, a newfound reality, a daunting challenge, or veiled opportunity and not wondered what to do. You may feel that you have made poor choices, that your opportunities have passed you by, or that you’re playing musical chairs, the music has stopped, and all the seats are taken. 

This book is for those individuals like you who have come to a fork in the road, chosen a path, and found themselves twenty to thirty (or more) years later in a destination they didn’t quite recognize. But the stories are relevant for anyone, at any age, at any station in life who has awakened and wondered what they are going to do next or how will they move forward. I want to offer hope, inspiration, and applicable lessons as derived from the lives of well known, and not-so-famous men and women who found new and unexpected success—by many definitions—late in life.

My hope is that these remarkable transformational stories will light a spark—whether you are twenty-five or sixty-five—to take back the reins of your life and become clear on exactly what you are going to do now and how you wish to contribute to the world. The music has not stopped, and there is still time to find your seat.
