Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul: Stories to Inspire and Uplift the Hearts of Canadians (Chicken Soup for the Soul)

Wearing poppies on your lapel during the month of November. Enjoying local fiddlers playing music on Cape Breton Island. Cheering your favorite team on during Hockey Night. Swatting mosquitoes in Muskoka on the first long weekend in May. Driving the Trans-Canada Highway. Questioning why the ABC song ends in "z" and not "zed." All these things are distinctly Canadian and now there's another one more: Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul. Written by fellow Canadians from Cape Breton Island to Prince Edward Island, from Montreal to Vancouver, this book reveals the people, the history and the special moments that give Canada such a distinctive charm and character. With chapters including: On Being Canadian, Living Your Dream, Overcoming Obstacles, On Love, On Kindness and Making a Difference, these stories weave a rich tapestry of life from the people who call Canada home. Notable stories include: hockey player Paul Henderson's "Goal of the Century"; Chief Dan George's recounting of his great land; Marilyn Bell DiLascio's historic 1954 Lake Ontario swim; cartoonist Lynn Johnston's delightful story of an encounter with Wayne Gretzky; and journalist Sally Armstrong's details of Princess Diana's first trip to Canada. Like hearing a heartfelt version of "O, Canada!", this book will instill renewed pride and patriotism in a well-deserving country and its people.

Is Stress YOUR Silent Killer? A dramatic title for a topic that is so often glossed over. Stress is responsible for many of today's diseases and illnesses. Stress compromises your immune system and your body's ability to absorb the nutrients form your food. Most people will have encountered one or more episodes of stress in their lives and in many cases will have dealt adequately with it and suffered no ill effects. But what happens if you have many episodes of protracted stress in your life and your body is unable to cope with the constant rush of adrenalin into the blood stream? Chronic stress such as this can lead to serious health problems if it is allowed to continue. Stress can all too easily become YOUR Silent Killer. This short book can help you to recognize the symptoms and help you identify appropriate strategies for dealing with your stress. Having suffered from chronic stress myself, I am only too aware of the detrimental effect this can have on our health and well-being. In this book I will share my own experience, what it taught me about myself, and how I ultimately dealt with it.
