Stephen Alter was raised by American missionary parents in the hill station of Mussoorie, in the foothills of the Himalayas, where he and his wife, Ameeta, now live. Their idyllic existence was brutally interrupted when four armed intruders invaded their house and viciously attacked them, leaving them for dead. The violent assault and the trauma of almost dying left him questioning assumptions he had lived by since childhood. For the first time, he encountered the face of evil and the terror of the unknown. He felt like a foreigner in the land of his birth. His new book, Becoming a Mountain, is his account of a series of treks he took in the high Himalayas following his convalescence—to Bandar Punch (the monkey’s tail), Nanda Devi, the second highest mountain in India, and Mt. Kailash in Tibet. He set himself this goal to prove that he had healed mentally as well as physically and to re-knit his connection to his homeland. Undertaken out of sorrow, the treks become a moving soul journey, a way to rediscover mountains in his inner landscape. Weaving together observations of the natural world, Himalayan history, folklore and mythology, and encounters with other pilgrims along the way, Stephen Alter has given us an inspiring meditation on the solace of high places and the hidden meanings and enduring mystery of mountains Ξ What has happened in your life within the past 20 years? According to a history book 150 years from now, it may be distilled to little more than Sept. 11, 2001, and subsequent foreign policy decisions, the acceleration of the Information Age (Computer Age) and the fact that the United States elected its first black president – all of which are important. Clearly, however, much more has happened, including massive strides made in the LGBT community, the challenges we face with health insurance, the impact on individuals and society from social media and online relationships, and the effect on the collective consciousness of the threat of terrorism. “Similarly, when we study history today, we tend to focus on a few signature events such as battles and maybe important speeches, landmark court decisions – but what tends to be lacking is the context that explains how and why these events occurred in the first place,” says Gil Hahn, author of “Four Score and Four, America in 1860,” http://four scoreandfour.blogspot.com, a history featuring a panoramic view of the less-often considered social, cultural, economic and technological factors that contributed to historic events. Ξ More than two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese – but 90% of diets fail because of unreasonable goals and unsustainable lifestyles. What many people don’t realize is that it’s more important to gain health than to lose pounds. What does this mean, and how have new breakthroughs changed even the most basic ways we now look at overall health and weight loss? Dr. Steven Lamm is a bestselling wellness expert, and his new book, FIGHTING FAT: Get Healthy For Life, offers cutting edge developments in obesity science for those struggling with overall health and long-term weight management. Recent breakthroughs show that the old strategy of ‘eat less, exercise more’ is ineffective because weight loss should be an individualized approach for each person. One size truly doesn’t fit all, and Dr. Lamm’s book offers a variety of options that can be tailored to any person or situation.
