Who Will Cry when You Die?: Life Lessons from the Monk Who Sold His
Ferrari
Reader reveiw:
So much more than the title implies
This book picked me up and didn't let me go until the last page. It
is the most non-preachy, yet moving and fundamental book I've read in a
long while. It's about just clearing that space each of us call a life and
learning to focus on what "really" matters (i.e. spirituality, being kind
to others, letting go, appreciating nature and every day we have on earth).
What could be more timely in today's world?

High Energy Living The program is based on four
fundamental states of human energy: calm, active, sensory, and heartfelt.
Dr. Cooper believes that most people are only utilizing one or two of

identify which sources of energy they lack. They then learn to make a

technique that revs up active energy by releasing the hormone catecholamine.

sources at once, unleashing infinite possibilities for a more vigorous
life.
