For years, friends and loyal Monday Morning Coach readers have been telling me to put a collection of my writing together in a book. Now, I'm proud to announce the release of Living a Five Star Life, published by Simple Truths. This book is a collection of 27 motivational messages, combined with beautiful four-color photographs and inspirational quotes. Simple Truths is a class act and has given life to my words in a way I could never have imagined. Here is a sampling of what's contained in Living a Five Star Life:

• The Power of Sustaining Rituals
• Stress, Butterflies and Flowers
• Finding Balance in an Imbalanced World
• The Vacation Mind, and
• Your Perfect Life

I am honored that Simple Truths has chosen to publish a collection of my writing. I hope you'll decide you simply must have a copy of this beautiful book for yourself, and a couple of extra copies to share as gifts with friends, associates or loved ones. Mac Anderson, founder of Simple Truths, wrote the following in announcing the release of Living a Five Star Life:

"There is more wisdom, common sense, and inspiration in this beautiful book than in any I have read in a long time. It can change the way you think about life!"

Here's what readers are saying about Living a Five Star Life:

"Just finished 'living a 5 star life'. It gets my 5 stars. I love coming to my office and rereading the chapters, as I can relate to all of it. I have put into practice some of your teachings and I feel better about myself. Thank you for a great book."
~~Don K

"I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoyed your book! I am rereading it...I gobbled it up the first time. It's a book that I will treasure; I had to revisit the chapter on procrastination this morning. What a gift that is for any man or women to have; especially at midlife. The best compliment I can give is that I will purchase more to give to friends. But, I will hold onto my own!"
~~Kathy S

Hope you'll check it out, along with the many wonderful inspirational and gift books available at Simple Truths. And come back here regularly for my "selection of the month."
