How can you improve your retirement planning?
This book doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. However, it will help you improve your retirement planning. Both those who are planning for retirement and those who are already retired will benefit from the teachings found inside.
Hours of live classroom instruction were distilled down to create a single text that’s short enough to be easily digestible, yet deep enough to hit the key points from in-person retirement planning courses taught by the book’s author.
The book is organized into seven chapters. Each chapter is dedicated to addressing important questions and concerns within one specific area of comprehensive retirement planning.
The end of each chapter includes a link to a short online self-assessment. Each self-assessment will ask you a series of multiple choice questions related to the topics covered during the chapter. After completing each assessment, a Confidence Score is automatically calculated and displayed.
What’s the purpose of the self-assessments?
The self-assessments serve two main roles. First, they’ll help you quickly identify strengths and areas for improvement in your retirement planning. Second, they’ll help you measure your progress. As you learn new things from the book, your Confidence Scores will improve. As your Confidence Scores improve, your retirement planning improves. Better planning ultimately means having a better chance to live an enjoyable retirement. That’s what this is all about.
Below is a list of the topics covered and questions addressed in each chapter:
Chapter 1 – Lifestyle Planning:
• How will you spend your time during retirement?
• How will you avoid boredom and a sense of loss?
Chapter 2 – Expense Planning:
• How much will you need to spend per year to live the life you want in retirement?

• How can you make the most of your Social Security benefits?
• If you have a pension, which option should you select?
• How much dividend and interest income will your investments generate each year?
• Will your income meet your expenses?
Chapter 4 – Investment Planning:
• Do you have a collection of investments or do you have an investment plan?
• How can you control market risk during retirement?
• How can you control inflation risk during retirement?
• How will you use your investment portfolio to generate income?
• How can you prevent emotions from derailing your investment plan?
Chapter 5 – Tax Planning:
• How will you be taxed when you take withdrawals from retirement accounts?
• How will you be taxed on Social Security and pension income?
• How can you build tax-free assets into your retirement plan?
• How can you plan for Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)?
Chapter 6 – Health Care Planning:
• How much should you plan to spend on health care costs in retirement?
• How can you plan for rising health care costs?
• What does Original Medicare cover?
• How can you fill the gaps in Original Medicare coverage?
• How can you plan for long-term care expenses?
Chapter 7 – Estate Planning:

• What are the downsides of the probate process?
• Which of your assets would go through the probate process as of today?
• How can you strengthen your estate plan?

What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.
Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.
What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful? Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.
Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you consider these aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define. The Untethered Soul, spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves, and the world around us. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization.
This book, copublished with the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), offers a frank and friendly discussion of consciousness and how we can develop it. In part one, he examines the notion of self and the inner dialogue we all live with. Part two examines the experience of energy as it flows through us and works to show readers how to open their hearts to the energy of experience that permeates their lives. Ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest of the world are the subject of part three. Enlightenment, the embrace of universal consciousness, is the subject of part four. And finally, in part five, Singer returns to daily life and the pursuit of unconditional happiness. Throughout, the book maintains a light and engaging tone, free from heavy dogma and prescriptive religious references. The easy exercises that figure in each chapter help readers experience the ideas that Singer presents.

It’s a regular day, but for some reason, you can see this coming. Your girlfriend has sent you a text message that reads “we need to talk” and you are almost expecting this to be another request for you to change certain things about the relationship, but it turns out she wants to break up.
Before I go on, trust me when I say that I know what you are going through right now. The pain you are experiencing feels worse than any physical pain you could ever imagine. I’m sure this happened recently and you are looking to find a way to get your girlfriend back. You are consumed with questions regarding what she is doing. You wonder who she’s hanging out with and you are desperate to contact her and let her know you want to get back together.
STOP right there! Let me start this by saying that you are NEVER going to get your girl back if you contact her now. If you do this now, your chances of having her back in your life are slim to none, and your chances of her wanting a romantic relationship again are zero. Yes, a big fat zero. I’m not saying this to make you feel even more depressed and desperate. I’m saying this because I have the answer to your problems.
I was there in that exact same position you are. I was wet behind the ears when it comes to the art of getting someone to want me again. I tried the flowers. I tried the crying for her to feel bad for me. I tried the social media stalking. It all backfired on me big time. Every single time I wanted a girl back after she had broken up with me, I was only successful at pushing her further away.
Women have brains that work entirely different from what we think. When they love you, they can’t get enough of you all day long, but when they make up their mind about leaving you, they want you gone for real. Lucky for you, this is exactly what you are going to use to get her back. It sounds crazy, but the no contact rule is a scientific fact. The problem is that most guys have no idea how to do this and they fall into temptation.
This will be your guide on this incredible journey to becoming the ultimate desirable guy. You will get your girlfriend to call you by the time you are done with this book and I guarantee it will be out of the need to hear from you. You will make her feel more attracted to you than she ever did even before she decided to leave you.
It’s going to be a very difficult road at first, but nothing good ever came out of easy challenges. I promise you that by the time you finish reading the book, you will be a completely new man and you will be the one deciding if you want to get back together with your EX!
So why wait? Get your copy now!
DISCLAIMER: This eBook is not for women trying to get their ex-boyfriends back. Strictly FOR MEN ONLY.

“Dr. Gundry is a true trailblazer, always at the forefront of scientific knowledge. The Plant Paradox shows the world what pioneer thinking is about and is a must-read book for anyone interested in being as healthy as nature has designed them to be.” —Alejandro Junger MD, New York Times bestselling author of Clean, Clean Gut and Clean Eats
“The Plant Paradox elegantly explains how plants defend themselves from being consumed by humans, and how eating the wrong ones at the wrong times immeasurably hurts our health. An eye-opening read.” —Mehmet Oz, MD, Professor of Surgery, New York Presbyterian/Columbia University
Most of us have heard of gluten—a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if we’ve been missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the “gluten-free” foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions.
At his waitlist-only clinics in California, Dr. Gundry has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases with a protocol that detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. Now, in The Plant Paradox, he shares this clinically proven program with readers around the world.
The simple (and daunting) fact is, lectins are everywhere. Thankfully, Dr. Gundry offers simple hacks we easily can employ to avoid them, including:
With a full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for each, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, The Plant Paradox illuminates the hidden dangers lurking in your salad bowl—and shows you how to eat whole foods in a whole new way.
