Preserving Human Touch in a High Tech World E-book
Is "Live" on Amazon; would love your support. P.S. Don't
miss the e-book cover; it is outrageous! It alone is worth the
price of admission. (And the Dedication Page also provides
symbolic interpretation of the cover imagery.)
As promised, we are "live." Hope you will
consider purchasing and rating. I think you'll find it quirky, funny, and
insightful. It would mean a lot! Warm wishes and good
adventures, Mark

Did you see my "What The Donald Wants"
lyric? It's stirring up some intense reaction!!! (If you didn't see
it, will gladly send it. Or you can go to my LinkedIn writer's
page:
"What the Donald Wants" just got published on WritersBeat.com. Also,
here are some interesting Facebook reader responses:

Hi,
Loosely akin to being a proud parent of a new-born
(e-book), Preserving Human Touch in a High Tech World: Writings,
Raps, & Rhymes on Stress Resiliency, Burnout Recovery, and Digital Sanity, is
"Live" on Amazon.
Would love for you to check it out, and consider purchasing,
reading or skimming as time and interest allow, and writing brief
comments. In light of how our world (as presently defined by Amazon.com,
Google, etc.) works, it's of great value to have people post ratings and
comments about an author's work. (See summary below.)
Also, based on Amazon's suggested pricing/book sales
algorithm, their recommended price is $3.99. (I had earlier mentioned a
purchase price of $1.99. If you decline or defer, I understand.)
Thanks again. Best wishes and good adventures,
Mark

the uniqueness of the U.S. Postal Service.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for sending me the Bipolar Dance poem and the
introduction. I am honored you would also share the introduction with me
as well. The poem is excellent and really captures the variety of
feelings that are often associated with bipolar disorder.
You are an excellent writer. Thanks again,
Karen, SALERNK@ccf.org,

Hi Mark,
Wow, I opened your book (PHT) and couldn’t stop
reading as I got all the way to page 52. I’ll get back to reading
this, hopefully, over the weekend. I look forward to obtaining a
copy through Amazon when it goes live. It is a nice work wellness
resource. Very best,

Lovin' it - Keep it flowin'
BUSY transitioning from daughter's "princess" room
to her "grown-up apartment" and reading your writings is, well, you
have a terrific way of saying things.
Loved your Humpty Dumpty - I substitute my bro for the egg
& my dad for the king.
"couldn't put him together again"
I find your raps fun-filled - yet darkly close to the heart

Writings, Raps, & Rhymes on Stress Resiliency,
Burnout Recovery, and Digital Sanity
Everyday our world becomes more TNT – Time-Numbers-Technology –
driven and distracted. And if human traits were species, two of the most
endangered would be Integrity and Intimacy. Preserving
Human Touch in a High Tech World is your skills and strategies, light
and enlightening road map of “writings, raps and rhymes” for:
- dancing
the “Burnout Boogie” and exploring the “Six ‘R’s Road of Burnout
Recovery”: Running-Reading-Retreating-Writing-Relating-Risk-taking
- becoming
more stress resilient and burnout resistant with the Stress Doc’s ™
classic “Four Stages of Burnout” and brain agility “Formula for Natural
SPEED”: Sleep-Priorities/Passion-Empathy-Exercise-Diet
- breaking
down “The Silent Wall of Shame” as well as laughing at your own flaws and
foibles while using healing humor to deflate and detoxify noxious stress
carriers
- preventing
yourself, friends, and family or your team, department, and organization
from “Going MA&DD” (through Media Addiction & Digital
Distraction; (it’s obvious that the Doc is the founding member of a
new 12-Step AA Group: Acronyms Anonymous).
- encouraging
each reader to embark on his or her own inner journey of self-discovery
and self-resiliency. Surely, this is the foundation and pathway for
vital (not just virtual) “f-2-f” (face-to-face) connection
- helping
organizations develop interactive learning-sharing groups that evolve from
"There's no 'I' in team" to "There are two 'I's in winning!"
And these "I"s can "C"/see: Winning
teams blend Individual Creativity & Interactive Community!
A Mix of Meaning and Magic...and Battlefield Experience
An insightful and inspiring guide for self-discovery and
heart-to-heart connection, Preserving Human Touch... is the
painful, playful, and soulful outpouring of a one-of-a-kind – stage and
page – "word artist." Whether poetry or prose,
purposeful or poignant, the language is colorful yet clear – a tapestry
of meaningful substance and magical style. This
ingenious synthesis is best captured by the “Stress Doc’s” ™ quest to be
the Dr. Seuss of Stress for Adults (and kids of all ages).
Mark’s hats also include therapist and “Psychohumorist” ™,
motivational speaker, “Reality Radio” Podcaster, and “Shrink Rapper”
™. And he’s a former Stress and Violence Prevention Consultant for
the US Postal Service. (The Doc is battle-tested!) In
addition to raps and rhymes, there are popular essays and Q & As – over
forty selections of varying size, substance, and style. Next each Shrink
Rap ™ or Resiliency Poetry sample is illuminated by a brief intro and outro
that: a) sheds light on the context of the work or b) explains how the
piece came into being, as well as c) some thoughts on poetic purpose and
power. Finally, the “R & R” selections – Raps & Rhymes –
close with Discussion Questions to enrich engagement and expand
awareness. These head-heart provocateurs also will facilitate meaningful
group discussion, whether at the family table or hanging with friends, at book
clubs, or in a classroom or workshop setting.
So seek the higher power of Stress Doc humor: May
the Farce Be with You!
Don’t miss your appointment with the Stress Doc.
