THE BIG FIX: HOW THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY RIPS OFF AMERICAN CONSUMERS By Katherine Greider. A meticulously reported expose uncovers exactly how the drug industry boosts sales and bilks consumers in the most lucrative prescription drug market in the world.
As the pharmaceutical industry invests more and more in the development of new drugs, true breakthroughs are few and far between. Into the breach comes a panoply of product-line extensions and me-too drugs aimed at grabbing market share. The industry plows its high profits in flogging its products in every imaginable venue. Many doctors get their first information about new drugs from a salesperson.
Patents are expiring on flagship products. In order to sustain the growth Wall Street has come to expect, these companies must produce billions of dollars worth of new revenue -- fast. But can Americans continue to bankroll Operation Grow Big Pharma? Must we swallow the bad with the good?

| THE POWER OF NOW is a guide to spiritual awakening from a man who is emerging as one of this generation's clearest, most inspiring teachers on the subject.
I've bought this book for several friends, both 65 and over. They all enjoyed reading it. Great for mental, emotional and physical health.
Eckhart Tolle is not aligned with any particular religion but does what all the great masters have done: shows that the way, the truth, and the light already exist within each human being. There is no need to look elsewhere.
At the heart of the book is Tolle's own story of early despair that culminated in a life-transforming experience of enlightenment at the age of 29. He emerged to share insights on the perils of the mind, the power of the present, and the accessibility of one's true nature.
According to Tolle, "To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of 'feeling-realization' is enlightenment." BUY IT NOW FOR $16.07 AT AMAZON. SAVE $6.88!
