'Controlling Your Future: Six Steps To A Better Life': New Self-Help Book
Teaches the Art of Self-discipline, Self-control

MANSFIELD, Conn., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Life is unfair, the economy is out
of control and disaster can strike at any time. However true these statements
might be, your ability to bounce back from your circumstances depends on your
own control over yourself. In his refreshing new self-help book, "Controlling
Your Future: Six Steps To A Better Life" (published by AuthorHouse), Richard
Norgaard shows readers how to achieve total fitness -- mind, body and finances
-- through self-discipline and self-control.

"Controlling Your Future: Six Steps To A Better Life" doesn't dance around the
facts: the only one who can change your life is you. Norgaard offers six
simple steps on how to uncover what is missing in your life and how to turn
your lives around.

"The current consensus is that the coming generations won't live longer or
better or healthier, because we have failed to recognize that life is not easy
or comfortable," writes Norgaard. "It remains difficult, as it has been for
eons. The problem lies in our brains, not so much our bodies. Our existence
today requires ever more discipline, even as we are showing less and less
discipline. The trouble is that discipline is not inherited, it is learned.
The undisciplined mind does not respond well to the need for discipline."

"Controlling Your Future: Six Steps To A Better Life" presents the roadmap to
disciplining the mind. There are six steps to Norgaard's plan:

-- Get control over your body by beginning to exercise
-- Get the proper amounts of nutrients to fuel your body
-- Improve your brain's performance through continuous learning
-- Learn to make the best of the challenges in your professional life
-- Develop financial responsibility
-- Learn how to control distractions

Using a uniquely historical approach to current issues of obesity, health and
consumer culture, "Controlling Your Future: Six Steps To A Better Life"
presents a plan for how to work towards a brighter future. Norgaard asks
readers not to heed the siren call of their life's distractions, and focus
instead on disciplining the mind by organizing time wisely in order to regain
control of their lives.
