2009 Annual Meeting Location |
 Your
votes helped determine future meeting
destination
Thank you to all of you who
provided your input about the location for AAPB's 2009 Annual
Meeting. The online survey presented two possible sites:
Albuquerque, New Mexico, and San Antonio, Texas. According to your
responses, 73% said they would attend the meeting if it was held in
Albuquerque compared to 65% who said they would travel to San
Antonio. So we will be heading to New Mexico in 2009. Come
experience the spectacular culture, abundance of activities and
breathtaking landscape that are uniquely Albuquerque! The gorgeous
Southwestern region will provide a fun contrast to the seaside
ambience of Daytona Beach, Florida, in 2008. We hope to see you at
both events. |
| New Book by Les Fehmi, PhD, Now
Available |
| "Destined to become a self-help and
philosophical classic." So says Robert Kall in his review of
the newly released publication by Les Fehmi, PhD, and Jim Robbins:
The Open-Focus Brain: Harnessing the Power of Attention to Heal
Mind and Body. The science and techniques described in this
long-awaited resource can be used to reduce stress, treat anxiety
and depression, and reach peak performance. This book, which also
includes a CD with guided exercises, is available
now through the online AAPB store.
The AAPB store is also
featuring:
- A new CD program,
Reversing Stress and Burnout, by Jinny LaRock, RN, BCIAC,
Senior Fellow.
