If you work anywhere in healthcare, Uproot Healthcare was written to you and about you. It answers two constant nagging questions. [Why does the system I work for make it hard to care for people? [What can I do to fix my most critically ill patient - healthcare? If you are not directly involved in healthcare, Uproot Healthcare was written for you. The author can give you one guarantee: some day you will need healthcare. When that day comes, you will want a system that provides error-free, high quality care; that you can easily access; that we can all afford; and that offers better outcomes tomorrow than it does today. Uproot Healthcare shows you how to get involved so you can get what you need and want. Uproot Healthcare does not offer Waldman's answer, another fix that fails, or some "solution" imposed on us from above. It provides the foundation for a discussion on healthcare, to create a national consensus, and for us to make healthcare work for everyone, not easily nor quickly, but surely.

As healthcare moves from volume to value, payment models and delivery systems will need to change their focus from the individual patient to a population orientation.

Fixing our critically ill healthcare system starts with the root cause: cancer in the federal bureaucracy. The cure for that cancer is called StatesCare. The states know best how to provide health care for their people. The states should decide how to provide that care. Any “solution” from Washington is one size that most definitely does not fit all. California wants single payer. Texas wants market-based healthcare. Why should the federal government tell them, No Can Do? The answer is StatesCare, where states decide healthcare for themselves, and We the People are in charge. A model of market-based healthcare system is described that the Lone Star State (and others) might favor. Neither Washington nor third-party insurance is in charge, as the patient decides both spending and medical care. The Lone Star market-based system, called TexasCares, offers both affordable and readily accessible health care. States might choose a different approach. StatesCare lets them decide what they want, not what Washington mandates for them.
“The vast majority of diet plans and approaches fail because they expect a person to make too many primary changes at once. In essence, they expect you to change overnight (instead of doing so gradually and naturally), leaving most dieters feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. And, plans, goals and objectives tend to fail when they require too many steps too quickly.” The Nutrient Diet is a “Lifestyle Approach” for general & mental health based upon sound psychological principles. The Nutrient Diet is 50% Diet and Nutrition, and 50% Cognitive Behavioral Psychological Strategies for eating behaviors, dieting, impulse control and habit formation. The Nutrient Diet is the first book of its kind to take a “Cognitive Behavioral” approach to diet, nutrition, health, wellness, weight loss, weight management and lifestyle management. The Nutrient Diet truly is a “Trendsetter” in the diet, health, wellness, medicine, nutrition, weight loss, weight management and lifestyle fields. The Nutrient Diet also encompasses principles from “Ketogenic Diets” and “Ketogenic Approaches”, taken from insights, research data and clinical findings introduced to Dr. Wright by Dr. Christopher Palmer, the Harvard Expert on the ketogenic diet. Dr. Palmer has used the “Ketogenic Diet” in his practice for the past 2 decades. “Being overweight, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, peripheral artery disease, coronary artery disease, pulmonary diseases and other chronic health and mental health conditions are escalating because people are stressed out and their first impulses and reactions are to use food and alcohol to self-medicate,” Dr. Wright points out. “The Nutrient Diet shows you how to use planning, strategy, habits, rituals, actions, and behavior patterns (i.e., cognitive behavioral methods) so that they become allies in your weight-management, diet, and lifestyle goals. Together, these tools, methods, resources, strategies, and approaches will help you to develop healthy nutrition habits, lose weight, understand how foods work in your body, break food addictions, and develop better health and lifestyle practices — while simultaneously adding joy, happiness, and fulfillment to your life. Seeing Americans (including myself) gain weight during the COVID19 Pandemic inspired the writing of “The Nutrient Diet”, since obesity is a significant risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality associated with a COVID19 infection. Weight really does matter, especially during a global pandemic associated with an insidious, aggressive and highly mutagenic respiratory virus.” When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, Dr. Wright answers, “The keys to diet, weight management, and impulse control are habit and ritual creation, formation, and sustainment. Changing habits gradually and in a sustainable way is the only true way to be healthy and to maintain a weight and lifestyle that works for you. The key isn’t doing what everyone else does. The key is combining the science of nutrition with what works with your unique DNA, metabolism, lifestyle choices and individual health and weight goals. The real key is where science meets individuality and unique lifestyle goals and choices. These choices and habits all protect you from poorer health outcomes (including from viruses like COVID19). Maintaining a healthy weight prevents hospitalizations from COVID19.” The Nutrient Diet was also inspired by the courage and confidence by which Oprah Winfrey took on health conditions like being overweight and obesity during the 80s and 90s on the Oprah Winfrey Show ®--taking away much of the stigma and shame associated with weight-oriented challenges and body image.

The Author explains how American policymakers are affected by the "sickness of power," and are not using their brain power. These Power policies come at a huge cost, in countless lives lost and billions of dollars needlessly spent. Using their Brain Power would save lives and money, and produce love and peace. The "sickness of power" has even affected the US elections, and caused the failures of two major political parties, who are supposed to serve the American people and their needs. The Author explains how this policy affects the financial sector, the news media, health care, education, the morals of society, the economy, and the wars. He suggests to the American people to create a "New America" and a new "American Party" using their brain power to achieve the highest values for America.

Every Ph.D. has a story, and Gwynette Ford Lacy is no exception. As a young black girl struggling amid the trappings of inner-city Washington, DC to overcome a broken home, an attempted sexual assault, and relentless bullying, she became determined to survive and succeed despite her background, gender, and the color of her skin. In an intimate retelling of her personal story, Lacy details how she emerged from a childhood full of challenges to beat the odds and achieve a series of “firsts,” to become the first African American female to earn a Ph.D. in her business field from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Lacy discloses how she transformed into a math whiz, STEM trailblazer, high school cheerleader and activist. She received a tuition scholarship to the former all-male Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, where she pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and graduated magna cum laude, in three years, earning her department’s Wall Street Journal Award. The great, great, great granddaughter of a female slave, Lacy provides an eye-opening glimpse into major events in American history in the 1960’s and 70’s, such as the Civil Rights Movement, assassinations and riots, and the Vietnam War. She also shares the triumphs she experienced along the way, including laughter, love, and joy, and how she created a life that matters through perseverance, hope and determination (PHD). Madame Ph.D. shares the inspiring true story of an African American woman’s journey from inner-city Washington, DC, to achieve professional success as a college professor/administrator, international management consultant, and motivational speaker.

When FTSE 100 CEO's were polled and asked the question, "Are your sales people calling on the right customers, at the right time, with the right offer?" 99.3% responded, "I don't know." Which shouldn't surprise. Sales and Marketing are still the last bastions of protected turf, limited management scrutiny and lack of accountability. Unfortunately, the important lessons learned and the gains in effectiveness and efficiency derived from lean manufacturing have not been successfully translated to the Sales and Marketing environments. And, it's understandable. Sales involves people doing business with people, not people doing activities with machines and processes. Sales is perceived to be more of an art form than a science. Yet, ironically, Sales is virtually a pure science and, as such, is both measurable and predictable. If we are correct, the disciplines of Lean can easily be applied to the Sales and Marketing functions resulting in significant increases in effectiveness and bottom line results.

Sweet Potato Pie for the Spirit, Soul & Psyche --A Tribute to Oprah Winfrey & Super Soul Sundays --A Thick, Rich Slice of Wisdom & Empowerment --A Book of Inspirational Quotes & Positive Affirmations Sweet Potato Pie for the Spirit, Soul & Psyche is a book of wisdom, abundance, empowerment, prosperity and success. Its purpose is to help individuals move forward in life in positive ways through increased self-improvement, self-development, self-motivation, self-reflection, self-actualization, self-determination, self-transformation and self-enhancement. And, it introduces and draws upon alternative mental health and wellness techniques like Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, Mind-setting, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Time Line Therapy (R), Mental Massages, Parts Integration, Values Realignment, Regression Analysis, Defense Mechanism Analysis, All Day Breakthroughs, Freudian Psychoanalysis and Ericksonian Therapies. It illustrates the concept that pills alone will not solve most mental, emotional and/or psychological problems. The idea for this book came from watching Super Soul Sundays (R) on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) (R). Watching the show has been such an inspiration for me. It's been a teacher. Oprah's "Thought for Today" newsletter (R) has also been a great inspiration. As an MD with two Abundance, Empowerment, Mind-setting and Prosperity Practices, MLC Of Greater Atlanta [MLCOGA], and Atlanta Coaching and Hypnotherapy Associates [ACHA], I help my clients to realize that there are motivations, inspirations and moments of insight that are readily available to them. In practice, I found myself continually sending my clients to other sources to find concepts, affirmations, quotes and statements that would help empower them and fuel their meditations on a daily basis. So, I decided to create one for them so that I wouldn't have to necessarily send them elsewhere. At my core, I believe that we should find and share positive energy. This book represents my opportunity to share the positive energy and encouragement that I've received from my parents, Reverend Harlis R. Wright & Dr. Bettye D. Wright, my mentor, Dr. Todd M. Antin (The CEO and Chief Medical Director of PACT Atlanta, the largest psychiatric practice in Atlanta), Dr. Oprah Winfrey, my teachers & professors, my friends and strong acquaintances, life circumstances and other sources. Chapter one covers how to confront anxiety, chapter two covers the biochemistry and physiology of sleep and natural approaches to solving sleep disorders and dilemmas, chapter three covers the power of words, phrases, mantras, speech and affirmations, chapter four covers hypnosis, hypnotherapy and how they work, chapter five covers happiness, what it means, and how to create it, chapter six covers how to sow seeds of abundance, empowerment, prosperity and success in life (and it relates them to the movie "The Matrix" (R)) in order to create a resilient mindset and a strong degree of mindfulness, and finally, chapter number seven provides you with one third of a year of motivational quotes, inspirational phrases and positive affirmations. This book was created to help empower you, help inspire you, help fuel your meditations, to help fuel your dreams & aspirations, to help fuel your hypnosis sessions, to help energize your mind, body, spirit & soul, to help you stay mentally refreshed and renewed, to help empower your thoughts and prayers, and to nourish for your mind, body, spirit, soul & psyche. Finally, it introduces you to alternative mental health and wellness techniques like Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, Mind-setting, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Time Line Therapy (R), Mental Massages, Parts Integration, Values Realignment, Regression Analysis, Defense Mech
This is a book intended to help the average voter sort out the constant stream of misinformation and rhetoric emanating from political candidates, media, talking heads, and talk shows in order that they can formulate their own strategies about whats best for our country and intelligently exercise their most precious asset to support those who agree with their position, their vote. What is suggested here is nonpolitical in terms of party or ideology and does not argue whether any economic theory offers the correct solution. It is concerned with the economic condition of the country and what political policies best impact the economy, but does not support any party or radical group and the ideologies they promote to accomplish their solutions. Although a long-term member of the Republican Party, I claim no current party affiliation. This book offers methods of determining how political entities use tools designed to mask their true intent and gain the voters support. This is accomplished by identifying tactics used by parties, talking heads, and politicians to achieve their ends and by giving some basic economic training and review techniques to assist the voter in finding the factual information necessary to rebut the constant flow of rhetoric and fallacy with which they, the voter, are constantly bombarded. Conversations with friends, family, and business colleagues have convinced me that because we are continuously subjected to this rhetorical bombardment by all these groups, we are confused. This confusion was clearly demonstrated by the November 2010 elections where, as a nation, we voted for individuals running on policies that will most likely make our major problems of GDP growth, unemployment, and deficit spending much worse. The worst part is the Tea Party and others told us they were going to cut social benefit programs but wrapped it up in a rhetorical blanket of fear: Were going bankrupt, but well save you with our austerity programs and Lets take our country back. Back from what? I am sure we dont know. I am convinced that most of this constant flow of rhetoric is deliberate misinformation designed to control our thinking. I further believe we intuitively understand we are being manipulated, and this understanding is at the heart of the anger and divisiveness rampant in the United States today. And because we cant deal with it, we simply react to our frustrations, unfortunately often with less than good judgment. This book is a simple step to help the voters of the United States make informed choices based on facts that support what they believe is best for the nation.
The presidency of the United States has evolved, taking different shapes and form over the years since the Founding Fathers of the United States created the office at the Constitution al Convention in 1787. The Constitution which went into effect in 1787 then embodied a small, rural Republic of but 13 States located along the eastern seaboard of present day United States. The population of the Union was only 4 million. However it carried slight weight in international affairs. During the following span of time, the Union has grown into an urbanized, industrial country of 50 States extending as far westward as Alaska and Hawaii. The population now exceeds 215 million, and the Nation ranks as a leading global super power.

In his second book, The Compassionate Organization, Ethan Chazin business coach and organizational behavior expert explores how organizations build cultures that thrive by leveraging trust, ethics and a moral compass, developing powerfully engaging Vision and Mission statements, and applying the best practices to build effective workplace cultures including: hiring and retention strategies, emotional intelligence, effective communications, branding, diversity & inclusion, employee engagement and empowerment practices. The days of one employer per career are long gone. In todays contract economy, workers change jobs between eight to ten times by the time they reach 35 years old. Mature workers and Baby Boomers are leaving the workplace by the tens of thousands every day. This mass exodus of the Mature workforce and Baby Boomers coincides with Millennial workers taking over roles of increasing importance within organizations. Estimates are Millennials will constitute 75-80% of the American workforce by 2020. Organizations have been flattening out their employee ranks by casting off layers of middle management the last few decades. With this huge transfer in the balance of power from older to younger American workers, Millennials bring with them into the workplace a new set of organizational values, beliefs about work, and a set of ethics and expectations about appropriate organizational behavior. Millennials expect that the organizations they work for (and buy from) share their values, possess a moral compass, and must care for the environment. Thus, understanding how to build and maintain a compassionate organization should be top of mind for anyone tasked with launching, growing, staffing and leading an organization.

Do you use your computer for hours at a time? Do you own a smartphone, tablet, or Ebook reader? Do you have a long drive to work? If your answer is ‘yes’ to any of the above, the chance is high that you may unknowingly suffer from dry eye. Gazing at a screen, reading, and driving are activities that many of us do in our daily lives, and these same activities contribute to dry eye. As a dry eye sufferer myself, it has become my passion to educate and inform the public about this often misunderstood disease. Dry eye cases have increased to epidemic proportions in recent years. Yet there is good news as well: the latest research holds the key to preventing and curing dry eye for good, and transcends conventional methods. I believe dry eye is a lifestyle disorder. Humans have been using web-based devices, exercising less, overeating, experiencing excess stress, etc., and COVID-19 actually aggravated this direction for humans, which I believe, increased a lot of lifestyle disorders such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, depression, and of course, dry eye. Especially in this new era, we have to combat the sudden lifestyle changes occurring now
