Watch TED Talks; they just might save your life.

This TED Talk and the subsequent book most probably saved my life. I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if I hadn’t seen the speech. Heart attack at minimum, maybe a broken home, who knows, but I wouldn’t have made it safely to my forties.

The whole story behind The Elements of Lifestyle is about accepting responsibility, taking action, and not waiting for a life disaster. There are too many stories about folks who change their lifestyle following a heart attack, after a divorce, or after getting fired. My idea was to do my best to skip the calamity by changing before the tragedy would strike.
