You will be intrigued at some of the real-life experiences upon which Steve has based his techniques: from Arnold Schwarzenegger, who told the author in 1976 that he was going to be the number-one box office star in Hollywood (at the time, Arnold was only a body builder with a heavy Austrian accent), to Leonard Nimoy, whose life was reshaped through the rational, logical thought of Spock, the character he played on Star Trek.

100 Ways to Motivate Yourself is filled with proven methods for changing the way you think and developing self-creation. Steve draws on the feedback he's received from corporate and public seminar students to ensure that his methods work.

We all know the benefits of exercise: a healthier heart, stronger bones, improved circulation and flexibility. For seniors, exercise is especially important! There is a laundry list of reasons you should keep your body active. Many challenges that come with older age (difficulty walking long distance, climbing stairs or carrying groceries), are due to a lack of physical activity. According to the Centers for Disease Control, seniors have the most to gain from activity—it prevents a multitude of health problems. For instance, studies show that exercise wards off the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

Keep Your Mind Focused and AlertA fundamental challenge for seniors is to stay involved, continue to challenge the mind, and pursue a life of learning. There are many ways to stimulate your brain: crossword puzzles, reading, writing/journaling, painting and drawing. When you challenge yourself intellectually, you exercise your brain and increase your mental capacity. A great way to keep your mind sharp is by pursuing hobbies and interests. Metal detecting is an amazing hobby that offers everything seniors need to stay sharp and mentally active. It activates the imagination and requires problem solving, patience and perseverance. Not only that, treasure hunting with a metal detector is often very lucrative!
