Have you ever dreamed about living a more wonderful life?
It usually happens between the ages of 40 to 65, but can happen at any age. We reach a point in life when we wonder if this is all there is to life and living. The great news is that every life can be amazing - when you understand how the life you live really works and are willing to become creative with its design!
Whether you're just getting started, retiring, or are somewhere between, the design of your life determines the quality of life you experience. There are no exceptions to this rule. Unfortunately, we're never taught about life, how it really works, and how it can be shaped and designed. Perhaps this is why less than one percent of all people experience lives they love.

- You'll encounter questions that make you part of the story as you explore and refine the design of your own life.

EXCERPTS FROM CHAPTER 1:
Your role as a health advocate can mean the difference between life and death for someone you love. Every year more than 200,000 deaths in the United States result from hospital errors that could have been prevented. They happen because of distractions, shift changes, miscommunication, or natural human error. Every day there are thousands of examples of misdiagnosis, mistakes with prescriptions and dosages, procedural errors in hospitals, and other problems, nearly all of which could be prevented with quality and procedural control measures.
EXCERPTS FROM CHAPTER 9:
"It's not good enough that Aunt Gertrude likes the doctor and the hospital. Do background checks."
You don't have to be at the mercy of a website or a referral. You can find the answers about a doctor's license for yourself...
