Prime Time
Prime Time is an enormously thought-provoking manifesto that amounts to an instruction manual for individuals wishing to have a more balanced and spiritually fulfilled existence on this planet. Suzanne Forcese offers a high-level explanation of the concept of living a Structured Life, and of doing so by way of very practical steps. After a sophisticated explanation of the idea that we are all connected, and better still all in control of exploiting that connection in the most spiritually satisfying sense, counsel is offered on how to make fundamental life changes that will facilitate this reinvention. At its heart Prime Time offers thorough and enthusiastic advice on how humans might develop their intuitive sensibilities so that they become co-creators in elevating the planet to the higher frequencies of harmony, peace, joy and love. Prime Time is an exuberant awakening to those parts of our existence that can get lost behind the quotidian business of simply living. Readers are invited to consider another level of appreciation and reflection during our mortal turn, and to learn an entirely new approach that dives deep into the amazing world of Structured Energy.
Sherman Exposed
Both brilliant and funny, John Sherman has a loyal following Features the best of Climbing magazine's Verm's World Insightful and often irreverent profiles of some of North America's best climbers Outrageous, talented, and a force to be reckoned with, John Sherman is always willing to spout an opinion that's sure to raise eyebrows. This rowdy collection of biting satire, parody profiles, barely restrained rants, and genuine reflections on climbing's unsung heroes is no different. Blending his juiciest Verm's World columns from Climbing magazine with previously unpublished (or, perhaps, unpublishable?) stories, Sherman pulls no punches, even on himself. From his college exploits in buildering on the Berkeley campus, to his quest for the Fab 50, to his years as a nomadic boulderer, Sherman shares the best, and the worst, he has found in the people and places he encountered along the way. Climbers will discover valuable excuse-making techniques in The Dog Ate My Belay Plate; they will aspire to the very un-PC All Vermin Team; and they will challenge themselves with The Verm's World History Aptitude Test. Who could ask for more?
