Consequential Strangers: The Power of People Who Don't Seem to Matter. . . But Really Do

The Information Age? Think again.

Change is everywhere: how we communicate, what we do for a living, the values we hold, the way we raise our children, even the way we access information. Thanks to a global economy, the force of the Internet, and the explosion of mobile technology, we have—almost imperceptibly—been ushered into a new era, the Shift Age, in which change happens so quickly that it's become the norm.

Man-made developments—such as tools, machines, and technology—defined previous ages, but the Shift Age will be defined by our own power of choice. In Entering the Shift Age, leading futurist David Houle argues that we are going through a major collapse of legacy thinking, eroding many of the thought structures that have defined the last two hundred years of humanity. Houle identifies and explains the new forces that will shape our lives—including remote workplaces, the cloud, "24/7" culture, speed-of-light connectivity, creativity, and the influence of Millenials and Digital Natives—for the next twenty years.

In this eye-opening book, Houle navigates this pivotal point in human history with clarity and anticipation, focusing on the power of human consciousness and the direct influence we can impart on everything from healthcare to media to education. According to Houle, we are more independent than ever before. We are in control.

There's no "going back" to the way things were. Reality is changing ever faster, and ENTERING THE SHIFT AGE is your guide to keeping up.

Written with all the clarity, honesty, and insight that made Plain and Simple a phenomenal New York Times bestseller, this final volume of the Plain and Simple trilogy is about taking risks to grow spiritually and how to "stretch" to grow beyond our self-imposed limitations.With her graceful storytelling and charming illustrations, Sue Bender looks inward to discover the spirit within each of us that whispers to be heard.

REVIEW: "I'm using your program that I bought yesterday and I love it! I've had poor posture for years and I swear I already see improvement!" Amy M.

If you've tried and failed to improve your posture with exercise, or by trying to sit or stand up straight, this new program is for you. This innovative 'no exercise' approach to getting a better posture, is based on The Alexander Technique, the world-renown movement system. Rather than waste time using exercises that fail to deliver long-term results, these techniques take only minutes, and many need only to be done once!

Bad posture is often caused by poor movement patterns that have become a habit. These habits can't be changed by exercise or by trying to sit or stand properly. Long-term improvements can only be gained by addressing the cause direct. The techniques in this program will help you recognize these habits, and then change them for good. Many people using this approach see their posture improve in just days without the need to exercise.

"I just want to thank you. So far, I've just started your program, and already -wow! I have severe scoliosis and by just working with your spinal and hip joint techniques this past week so far has resulted in my big rib hump being nearly flat as of this morning!" Jane R.

"It's been just a little over week since I downloaded your program and I can't believe the results already achieved. ...I am, standing upright with no effort!" Elizabeth

"I've been enjoying your posture program and have seen a great improvement in my general comfort at bending and reaching. At age 55, I had thought some of my joints were already almost worn out, but now I think I was constantly irritating them with the way I was using them. No I can bend and twist with NO PROBLEM!" Cynthia
