Sherpa is not a book about mountaineering. It is a think book written as an imaginary journey through places of ice, rock, and snow, similar to a trek through the Himalayas. The story begins at advanced base camp and spans three peaks of understanding on subjects such as problem solving, the power of giving, and eliminating certain forms of ego that no longer work in our favor, before returning to advanced base camp. Personal stories, observations, and experiences that the author has had, sprinkled with humor and wisdom, makes for an entertaining and interesting journey.

The ultimate purpose of Quality is customer satisfaction. Quality people are people whose mission in life is customer satisfaction; people whose actions and behavior are largely if not totally guided by customer needs, requirements and expectations … They smell, hear, eat, breathe, talk, do, see, serve and pamper customers. Wouldn’t such people be the dream employees of customer-centric, serviceoriented organizations? The answer is an unequivocal YES! People are an organization’s most valuable resource. People make the culture. The people and the culture of an organization, in turn determine its success. Therefore, in today’s increasingly competitive and service-oriented business environment, Quality people are hotly sought after! How can you make yourself a Quality person, and hence, a highly valued employee, a much sought-after worker? This is the question 8 Habits sets out to answer.

EVERYONE HAS A PLIMSOLL MARK The white line you see on cargo ships and many ocean liners is called the Plimsoll Mark and tells when the ship is being overloaded. If a load is too heavy, it causes the ship to sink past its white line, and that ship is in a dangerous state. People have Plimsoll Marks beyond which nerves crack and pep, vitality, vim, and vigor are drowned. A person who has sunk over his own Plimsoll Mark also is in danger. The favorite expression of Modern Man is “I’m bushed.” Of Modern Woman, it is “I’m worn to a frazzle.” Had each been aware of his own Plimsoll Mark, neither would have had use for such common expressions. The purpose of this book is to help people find their Plimsoll Marks in life, and in so doing forestall premature old age, needless worry, fatigue, lack of pep, vitality and vigor to carry on. By following a few common sense rules, plus some new scientific discoveries, anyone can learn how to remain above his personal Plimsoll Mark and prolong his life’s span...and add happiness and success. As you will see, it is a simple matter to calculate and determine your own Plimsoll Mark—the point beyond which you should never sink.—Elmer Wheeler

In Living Simply , I ponder what it takes to slow down and downsize while living in a culture that supersizes everything from french fries to SUVs. I want more meaning and less stuff, and simplicity is a means to a better quality of life.

Much of what we hear about ourselves and the world...“No pain, no gain”; “It’s a dog-eat-dog world”; “Either you got it or you don’t”—isn’t true when we understand our nature and how to operate to reach our maximum potential. But how many of us understand our own design specs? Refrigerators come with instruction manuals—why not people? Here at last is the manual that should have come with you at birth. And it turns out that life is a lot easier than we’ve been taught. Living in alignment with your true nature—the path of least resistance—brings you all the joy, abundance and health your Manufacturer intended you to have!

With a little coaching, she can align with her body’s nature and the stroke becomes easy, even effortless. The same alignment to effortlessness can happen in every area of your life!
