Small things can often mean a great deal. For the past five years readers of the Toronto Star's website have been telling each other that, as they shared their stories in a feature called "Acts of Kindness." The common thread is that a stranger helped when it was needed most, without thought of a reward and often without leaving a name. Since its debut in December, 2004, "Acts of Kindness" has become a daily fixture at thestar.com. About 4,000 stories have been submitted and 2,000 have been published. Acts of Kindness, the book, represents the best of the best—a collection of 200 of the most memorable tales. The stories are a reminder that goodness is non-denominational, non-political and transferable across race and language. They also remind us that although our lives are full of hard realities, the smallest gesture can raise a spirit or lift a heart, and the time to do it is now.

With A New Way to Age , she "is at the forefront again, bringing seminal information to people, written in a way that all can understand" (Ray Kurzweil, author of How to Create a Mind ) with this revolutionary philosophy for a longer and better-quality life that will make you feel like you've just had the best checkup ever. There is a new way to age. I'm doing it and it's the best decision I've ever made. I love this stage of my life: I have 'juice,' joy, wisdom, and perspective; I have energy, vitality, clearheadedness, and strong bones. Most of us are far too comfortable with the present paradigm of aging, which normalizes pills, nursing homes, and "the big three": heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. But you don't have to accept this fate. Now there's a new way to grow older—with vibrancy, freedom, confidence, and a rockin' libido. This health bible from Suzanne Somers will explain how to stop aging like your parents and embrace cutting-edge techniques such as: balancing nutritional and mineral deficiencies; detoxifying your gut for weight loss; pain management with non-THC cannabis instead of harmful opioids; and much more. Aging well is mainly about the choices you make on a daily basis. It can be a fantastic process if you approach it wisely. After a lifetime of research, Suzanne came to a simple conclusion: what you lose in the aging process must be replaced with natural alternatives. In order to thrive you have to rid your body of chemicals and toxins. Start aging the new way today by joining Suzanne and her trailblazing doctors as they all but unearth the fountain of youth.
