In Today’s News online was published an interview “10 Ways to Get Rich.” Warren Buffett, a legendary investor, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hataway and the richest man in the world with his estimated fortune of $62 billion, shares his best secrets that can work for you. His several key strategies are business-like and to the point, but nowhere he mentioned that health is your main wealth and number one your key strategy. I think he should because all people must maintain their health and energy to keep up with the fast pace of life in the twenty-first century, and many will be interested in  his thoughts and opinion about it.

Warren Buffett is the most successful Wall Street investor. You can learn a lot from his book, The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for  Corporate America  that he wrote with Lawrence A. Cunningham, and other books such as Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist by Roger Lowenstein; Warren Buffett Speaks: Wit and Wisdom from the World’s Greatest Investor by Janet Lowe. Recently I was searching in a hope to find a book about him as the man and his life outside of work. I did not find any. Most  books about Warren Buffet give a brief picture of his life and concentrate on  discussing and his known investments. A new book, The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Shroeder will be released at the end of September. Possibly this book will give us a full story about his life, dreams and healthy habits, too.

Here are my comments on the best secrets he spelled out. He did not express his opinion on important issues like taking care of your health and wellness, as an integral part of getting rich. In the meantime, our life is not only about business and money. It is also about our well-being, optimal health and joyful living. (more…)

Christine Hohlbaum, an ex-pat living in Germany, has a delightful blog at http://diaryofamother.blogs.com/ called Mama’s Musings.  Earlier this month she posted a quick and very flattering review of our book.  Here’s an excerpt from Mother Nature Knows Best:

Despite the mantra of the 1950’s when Father Knew Best, we all know Mama’s the one holding the apron strings. The wisdom of mothers’ hands has been passed down from one generation to the next, through food, spices, herbs and home-made medicines better than any pharmaceutical solution. If you’ve ever tasted my mother-in-law’s homemade chicken soup with the ickiest cold since time memorial, you’ll know –Mama really does know best. (more…)

 

Mama’s Home Remedies
Discover Time-Tested Secrets of Good Health and the Pleasures of Natural Living

By Svetlana Konnikova, MA, AN, with a Foreword by Anna Maria Clement, PhD, NMD

Interwoven with centuries-old herbal remedies, time-tested techniques, and women’s wisdom handed down through the ages, this kaleidoscopic whole-health tapestry reveals a myriad of natural methods for achieving and maintaining good health and all-around happiness.

At the heart of the narrative is a compilation of natural recipes for infusions, poultices, teas, and tinctures—garnered by the young Svetlana while listening to her mother and “the girls” (other medical professionals like her mother) as they shared their bond of friendship and their tales of healing success while gathered for tea in the family’s blossom-filled garden—intertwined with her grandmother’s fairy tales, family vignettes, legends, and herbal lore.

Filled with easy-to-make, natural, healing recipes for common ailments and illnesses—such as allergies, asthma, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, and respiratory problems—this all-encompassing guide to wellness offers a holistic approach that intermingles alternative treatments with folklore, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality to foster optimal health and joyful living.
