Here is a guidebook...a journal...a diary...that could save your life and provide vital life-enhancing information about you for your future caregivers. Here is your means to influence what your future caregivers will know about you and how they can interact with you. 
One day most of us will find ourselves in need of some form of caregiving. Here is a unique book that provides you (the reader) with an opportunity to lay out all of the critical information you feel a future caregiver might find useful in providing for your care. From your favorite brand of toothpaste to your feelings on use of life support, this "journal" can be your way of enabling future caregivers to know you in ways they never could. 
We may remain in our own homes or find ourselves in a nursing home, an assisted living center, a retirement community, a hospice, a hospital, one of our children's homes, or some other living arrangement. Whether your future caregivers are adult children, siblings, close relatives or friends, or complete strangers, there is a tremendous amount of information about you that most people don't know. Within the pages of this book are hundreds upon hundreds of topics that you can write responses to and increase the potential for better care from those that will serve you and your needs. What ever the situation, the time will most likely come when we will be looked after -- cared for -- by others. 
In one compact guidebook you can share your thoughts on: 
* favorite foods 
* music you enjoy (and don't) 
* medications that need to be taken daily 
* medical conditions that could prove life-threatening 
* your educational background 
* your family tree 
* clothes that you like to wear -- and when 
* your feelings about death and your funeral 
* and hundreds of other important things that could make your life more enjoyable -- and that could even save your life! 
Give your future caregivers the gift of "knowledge" -- knowledge about you! This is perfect for everyone who can appreciate the importance of "information" and how critical information can be in providing the best form of caregiving in your own future.

The primary purpose of this book is to empower readers and encourage them to become proactive consumer-patients. This book isn't an attempt to be politically correct, but is dedicated to providing tools that readers can put to use when they encounter challenges when making their best efforts to navigate their way into, through and out of the maze that has become our healthcare system. Americans are concerned more about healthcare than the mortgage crisis, credit card debt, rising food prices, or losing money in the stock market. Now is the time to get educated, find out what the future might hold, and get active in the decision-making that surrounds your healthcare. With physicians making misdiagnoses between fifteen and twenty percent of the time, the examination room treadmill speeding up, and emergency rooms stressed out and overcrowded, here is a wakeup call that encourages the adoption of a more responsible, proactive, energetic, and consumer oriented attitude when it comes to personal and family health - before it is too late.

Navigating the Healthcare Maze: What You Need to Know

Knott, Jeff

The purpose of this book is simple: to make you richer than you are presently --through sensible, understandable financial concepts and through a stronger relationship with God. Using the strength of wisdom displayed by the richest and wisest man known throughout history -- King Solomon, the author puts that knowledge and wisdom to work in approaching modern day investing. The book is practical and very easy to understand. What was revealed to Solomon can be applied to your own investments. Since no software will ever be able to accurately tell anyone what specific investment will be guaranteed to work; the same goes for investment advisers. The key to proper investing is to properly diversify and to prudently monitor one's investments. By setting up a portfolio that confirms Solomon's advise and uses scientific research and hard fact, the seven specific asset types that produce amazing results are called The Solomon Portfolio. The seven are large-cap US stocks, small-cap US stocks, Non-US stocks, commodities and natural resources, real estate investment trusts, intermediate bonds, and cash.
