The Passionate Life: Creating Vitality and Joy at Every Age is a guide for all who want to live a more vital, joyful life! After all, Passion, Joy, and Vitality are not just for the young! They are meant for the young at heart no matter what our age.
In The Passionate Life: Creating Vitality and Joy at Any Age, with the Foreword by The Barefoot Doctor, Dr. Mara interweaves her twenty-six plus years of expertise as a psychologist, her own personal experience, and the wisdom of today’s thought leaders on physical, emotional, and spiritual health into these pages. Readers will gain valuable tips for creating a meaningful, vital, and joyful life––no matter what challenges they may face.
The Passionate Life is a guidebook for the exciting trek we call “life.” Whether you are early in your journey, moving into a new chapter of life, looking to climb out of a rut, or finding your way again after being lost for years––this book is for you! Dr. Mara shares a wealth of knowledge to help us all feel vital and alive––physically, mentally, intellectually, and spiritually––well into our golden years.
“In this ever increasingly unhinged reality, in which all the familiar structures are morphing or coming off their moorings, it makes sense…[to] grab the adventure while you still can, and…have a total ball. In The Passionate Life, the good doctor encourages you in the softest, kindest, and wisest way to claim the ride and gain the full value of existence you were born to enjoy. I’m proud to be the one to leave you in her good hands now.” ~ Stephen Russell, “The Barefoot Doctor”
Author of Barefoot Doctor's Handbook for the Urban Warrior: Wayward Taoist Survival Technique and The Barefoot Doctor’s Guide to the Tao
Here are what some of her readers are saying about The Passionate Life:
I love good books, because they are born from real and personal stories. Where someone doesn't tell me, they invite me. They show me ways to “come alive and start living.” Mara invites us to appreciate and grasp what is already within. And she’s not just a teacher; she’s a guide who walks with us. The book may be an invitation to women perhaps, but after reading the book, I can tell you I definitely want some of what she’s talking about: the permission to live out loud, in our power, in the light, every day. Count me in. It’s down-to-earth. Thank you, Mara. And I agree, the best is yet to come.
~ Terry Hershey, inspirational speaker and author of fifteen books, including The Power of Pause: Becoming More by Doing Less
Dr. Mara Karpel is firmly fixed in her "zone of genius" in this amazing book, which is the ultimate road map to energy, inspiration, and purposeful living. Dr. Karpel fearlessly proclaims: out with the old paradigms, in with new! Here is everything one needs to make the golden years truly and radiantly golden!
~ Ana Brett and Ravi Singh

Scholar was a man with grand ambitions stifled by a mediocre, lonely existence. Quietly, he resented himself for every opportunity he let pass by while those around him found success and satisfaction in a bright and happy world. One day, he stepped outside and the world had ended; the sky was dark and the ground was covered in ash. The people who survived did not want to talk about what had happened. It was not a bomb, or a war, or anything man-made. But from what Scholar could gather, it wasn't natural either. It was something malicious, something monstrous. It tortured the world, then destroyed it. The book begins just over two years after this destruction. Scholar is searching for his place in the new world, as he failed to find his place in the old one.
Ashley Rhodes was a Wall Street womanizer trying to survive in darkness, subconsciously searching for vengeance for the brighter world he once knew.
Cattleprod was a charismatic human trafficker who sees the opportunity to set humanity on the right path.
The Turn is a dark story. There is no white knight, just complicated people in a complicated world, looking for their place, searching through the mysteries of humanity, and the mysteries of this new existence, seeking out or trying to forget the global atrocity that had vanished as mysteriously as it had come.
The story starts off dry as the world presents itself in nuanced ways to the wide-eyed adventure. There will also be moments where you might find yourself lost or confused. Do not be troubled by this. The focus of the story is on the characters, who too are wading through this new world as though through a dark forest. You will come to grasp this world as they do.

Written to inform baby boomers and their advisors, this book unveils a whole new approach to retirement investing that challenges conventional thinking about stocks and bonds to offer a timely alternative. Designed to hedge a broad array of the risks retirees face—from longevity and self-defeating investor psychology to inflation and economic uncertainty—the author’s “stable-core” portfolio converts a nest egg into a personal pension focused on maximizing lifelong income. How? By anchoring it to innovative annuity contracts designed to help preserve retirement assets from market losses while linking them to those same markets to capture a share of their upside potential.
A retirement income specialist with decades of planning experience as a CFPR professional, Nahum Daniels urges baby boomers to rethink their investment strategy now, calling for an historic shift in mindset that transforms insurance from an incidental component of the retirement nest egg to its core holding. Doing so, he argues, can mitigate the ever-present dread of running out of money, while helping retirees sustain the lifestyles to which they aspire rather than settling for less in a form of self-imposed austerity.
Focused on the financial dynamics of retirement, Nahum provides an eye-opening perspective on a century of our economic history as well as our pending economic prospects. Illustrating the key differences between banks and insurers, he explains why insurers are mandated to solve the retirement challenge. Deftly translating into actionable advice some of the latest findings released by America’s leading retirement institutes and university researchers, he puts a human face on the retirement planning process by offering personal examples drawn from a 30-year long career.

It is two hundred million years into the future, and Earth is devastated by a dying sun whose expanding photosphere has melted the surface of the planet and driven humans underground. In this world, humankind is doomed to extinction. But Marcus Fincus thinks he can secure the survival of the human species. He selects a small crew of brave voyagers from the insignificant but determined planet Earth to set out in search of a new home.
Their ship, the Destiny Unknown, is designed to take care of everything. Every meal is regulated to the ounce. Every mile is charted and mapped. Everybody has his or her own unique role in this microsociety: doctor, teacher, electrician, engineer. Then the inevitable happens: the passengers start to behave as people. The captain seduces half the women on the ship, his wife develops a neurological disorder, their sixteen-year-old son runs away in the escape pod, and the doctor dies in a freak scalpel accident.
The Maiden Voyage of the Destiny Unknown is a dark parable about the nature of human existence. Told from the perspective of an alien observer who follows our heroes like an unsympathetic reporter from National Geographic--he refuses to intervene when our heroes come face-to-face with deadly meteor showers, alien cannibals, and other crises that threaten to destroy them all. Funny and philosophical in its treatment of human nature, The Maiden Voyage of the Destiny Unknown not only seeks to understand the place of humans in the universe--it also seeks to address the looming question: What makes us so special?
