Scientific Breakthrough: Mind Building helps anyone make
New Year’s resolutions come true.
FOSTER CITY, CA - January, 2003
Did you ever wonder why some people seem to just decide what
they want and make it happen. They decide to stop smoking and
do stop cold turkey. Others, the vast majority by the way, struggle,
fail and start every year with the same New Year's resolutions like
losing the 20 pounds that they never lose!
Super-achievers think differently. By learning their way of thinking,
anyone can practice Mind Building and learn how to easily defuse
anger, cope with stress, deal with guilt, handle hostility and
criticism, get rid of anxiety and of any destructive addiction.
Poor handling of emotions is a major cause of failure.
"Computers are great at repeating. That's what they do best.
They never get tired! Why not use them to reprogram the way we
think? Why not use their talent for repetition to teach new ways
to talk to ourselves? Why not build a stronger mind to adapt
to a fast changing world?" asks Boris Clair, author of the Wellness
Power Book Series.
When you read the eBooks of this new series you are prompted to
do exercises and report your progress in your Success Journal,
a great way to uplift your level of personal motivation.
E-books, the new form of easy access to knowledge, can be
downloaded from the Internet on one's PC, read on or off line
and printed for convenient reading anywhere. Some are free,
some cost less than a paper book. They usually add color graphics
to text and can include multimedia features such as sound and video.

Editor's Summary:
Give instant access to the latest discoveries in Life Extension and proven anti-aging techniques including healthy nutrition, exercise, mental fitness, stress management, immune system boosting, cell rejuvenation and much more with Smart Aging, a new interactive practical guide, the third e-book of the Wellness Power Book Series published by Acal Corporation.
FOSTER CITY, CA - December, 2001
Who would not like a few more healthy years full of projects, energy and enthusiasm? Scientific research shows that the potential life span of the human species is close to 120 years. Yet the average life expectancy in most advanced countries is around 75 years. What happens then with the missing years? Where are they gone?
Studies after studies show that they are lost by ignorance or disrespect of the basic laws of nature: Industrialized toxic food, excess of refined sugar and saturated fats, addiction to legal and illegal drugs, including tobacco and alcohol, lack of physical and mental fitness, destructive life styles, lack of worthy motivating goals and more.
Boris Clair of Acal Corp. ,author of a new series of e-books instantly ccessible on the Internet, says: "Without a dream, people die. Smart Aging is a holistic process. Mental fitness is as important as physical fitness to add years to your life. As long as you have worthy goals and keep learning and trying new behaviors to reach them, you are young. Acquiring and ntegrating the latest scientific anti-aging discoveries is a breeze, if you keep your level of motivation high".
E-books, the new form of easy access to knowledge, can be downloaded from the Internet on one's PC, read on or off line and printed for convenient reading anywhere. Some are free, some cost less than a paper book. They usually add color graphics to text and can include multimedia features such as sound and video.
Boris continues: "Feeling young seems to be the key to wellness and life extension. Amazingly, the difference of longevity between life styles can be measured in decades. You can reverse the clock at any age, although some damages are irreversible and the sooner you learn how to avoid them the better".
The new Wellness Power Book Series is an attempt to guide people in their quest for personal development. The series also introduces the reader to interactive programs like the award winning software StressMaster and the new WellnessMaster program of Acal Corporation.

Has a Silicon Valley firm discovered the secret to Optimal Wellness and Eternal Youth?
Editor's Summary:
Acal Corporation introduces a new series of e-books on Optimal Wellness and Self Management. Full of tips on what the weight loss industry generally forgets to tell you, the first e-book of the series reveals the secret of Self Management to change your taste and enjoy healthy food.
The next books will be life guides on exercise, healthy life styles, and subjects never taught at school like building lasting relationships, raising children, discovering one's unique talents and gifts, creating a personal life style that nurture longevity and optimal wellness.
In 1776 the founding fathers of the United States had the wisdom to include the pursuit of happiness in the declaration of Independence as an unalienable right. The quest is still going on, but so far most people have had a partial view of this issue. For some the secret is love, for others it is health or wealth or fame or power.
Boris Clair of Acal Corp. looks at it as a holistic problem. Author of a new series of e-books easily accessible on the Internet, Boris says: "We are all born with certain unique gifts and talents. We can reach optimal wellness and life long, if not eternal, youth as long as we keep learning, growing and creating a balanced life in which we express our unique potential and contribution to this world."
E-books, the new form of easy access to knowledge, can be downloaded from the Internet on one's PC, read on or off line and printed for convenient reading anywhere. Some are free, some cost less than a paper book. They usually add color graphics to text and can be combined with multimedia features as sound or video.
Boris continues: "Optimal Wellness is reached when our body, mind and spirit stops sending signals of unease or pain. Sadly enough most people numb these signals that appear as physical pain, feelings, thoughts or emotions telling them that something is wrong in the way they lead their life and that they are off track to reach their full life potential.
Modern life offers so many choices that it becomes very difficult to make the right decisions without some help. You can easily jump on mines like destructive addictions, lack of a major life purpose or even some forms of depressions, if you have no appropriate map or guide for such basic things as nutrition, exercise and healthy habits in general.
This also applies to more complex subjects, never taught at school or elsewhere, as building lasting relationships, raising children, discovering one's unique potential, creating a personal life style that nurtures longevity and more importantly the art of Self Management."
The new Wellness Power Book Series is an attempt to guide people in their quest for personal development. The series also introduces the reader to interactive programs like the award winning interactive program StressMaster and the new WellnessMaster program of Acal.
To read the first free e-book justor type in the following URL:

(This is the "address "or "location", the URL of your browser's address box).
The first two books are free. The following ones will be around $20.00. All you need is a PC with any version of Windows (95, 98, ME, NT/2000),

Studies show that over 70% of all modern so called civilization diseases like cardiovascular illnesses or cancers are related to long term destructive Lifestyles or Stress. Health psychology shows that simple changes in habits can over time considerably improve the quality of life.

Writer's block is alleviated with different tools. Already made sentences can be copied and easily modified. Spell check and thesaurus are standard features.
But the most intriguing part of StressMaster is the self discovery of your own hidden talents and gifts with 11 new tools. This allows you to build a Personal Life Scenario, that will optimize your Stress Level, bringing a more balanced and happy life. "True happiness for human beings is possible only to those who develop their godlike potentialities to the utmost". (Bertrand Russell)
