Greg Mortenson is a real-life hero; he may even be a saint. He was recently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

In Three Cups of Tea you will journey with him to the mountain top of K2, one of the highest mountains in the world and to remote villages so poor that their people are barely surviving and children don't have the opportunity of education and like their parents are illiterate.

Through this spellbinding story I learned what tenacity and persistence truly is by Greg's determination to bring education to remote villages. Greg came to San Diego last week and I was hugely inspired by the work that he's doing with our military leaders to help the armed forces build relationships and provide humanitarian aid to reduce terrorism.

Spend some time with Greg Mortenson this summer and inspiration is guaranteed!

We all know someone who has received the cancer, or other serious illness, diagnosis. Bernie Siegel, M.D., is the author of Love, Medicine & Miracles a must-read for anyone who is dealing with any kind of health challenge (and everyone else too!).

Bernie's wisdom comes from his medical training and from his heart. He offers his experiences and insights on how we can heal our lives by becoming the person we are truly meant to be.

"Unconditional love is the most powerful stimulant of the immune system. The truth is: love heals. Miracles happen to exceptional patients every day---patients who have the courage to love, those who have the courage to work with their doctors to participate in and influence their own recovery." Bernie Siegel, M.D.

I believe that by practicing unconditional love, telling the truth, and doing what we are meant to be doing with our lives, our lives become so rich that we don't leave space for illness to creep in. And, if it does, we can use it to learn and grow from.

This book is full of powerful life-changing lessons and stories about real people. Thank you Bernie Siegel! (He asks all his patients to call him by his first name, so I figured I could too.)
