Wired for High-Level Wellness
Simple Ways to Rejuvenate, Meditate & Prosper
In this captivating compendium, you’ll read never-before-told-stories on how Susan’s obstacles shaped her life and were actually life-enriching catalysts that supercharged her whole-body healing from health-destroying illnesses and enabled her to come out the other side feeling rich with gratitude for every experience and in charge of her own high-level wellness destiny.
In Wired for High-Level Wellness: Simple Ways to Rejuvenate, Meditate & Prosper, Susan is in a unique position to testify on the efficacy of her basic message that health is the result of the countless choices we make every day. When her back was fractured in a serious automobile accident, her physician told her that she would never be able to carry “anything heavier than a small purse.” Susan chose not to accept this verdict; within months, there was no longer any pain or even evidence of the fracture. Soon, she fully regained her healthy, active lifestyle. She attributes her healing to her natural-foods diet, faith, determination, perseverance, balanced living and, most importantly, to her unshakable relationship with and deep connection to God.
Since the accident, Susan has been constantly active in spreading her faith-based message that anyone can choose to create a healthy, happy, peaceful, and balanced life. Her inspiring message and innovative techniques for achieving total health have won her a grateful and enthusiastic following and have put her in constant demand internationally as a health and fitness consultant and educator. A gifted teacher, Susan brings together modern research and ageless wisdom in all of her work. Visit her website, SusanSmithJones.com, to read excerpts and the chapter-by-chapter contents for Wired for High-Level Wellness.
With candid and thoughtful insight throughout the pages of Wired for High-Level Wellness, Susan provides an enthralling narrative and precise roadmap on how to be truly healthy — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. As the reader, you will feel like you are sitting across from Susan at her kitchen table, visiting over a cup of fresh juice or tea while she shares her most sacred and coveted secrets with you on how to transform your life and live your highest dreams for yourself. Susan tells us in many different ways in the book to always dream big and to let our imaginations soar — visualizing our goals. She shares this famous quote by Albert Einstein: “Imagination is everything. It is the preview to life’s coming attraction.” And she adds, “This reminds me of the Bible scripture, Hebrews 11:1, ‘Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.’ God will seed your imagination with something that is special and just for you. Our mission, if we choose to accept it, is to believe wholeheartedly, imagine our goals as already achieved, assume the feeling of that wish fulfilled, keep the faith, live gratefully, and continue to move onward and upward.”
Susan’s heartfelt personal stories will have you on the edge of your seat; her humor will have you laughing so hard that you will receive a great abdominal workout; and her sound nutritional and holistic lifestyle guidance will have you feeling healthier, happier, and more hopeful before you’ve even finished Chapter 1.
Susan is highly appreciated by her discerning clients and Fortune 500 companies worldwide who benefit from her secrets on how to disease-proof your body, look and feel 10 years younger in 30 days, and live your best life — secrets she reveals in this beautifully designed book.

Choose to THRIVE
Open Up to Vitality, Prosperity & Equanimity
Ever wonderful why even the most physically fit people feel off-kilter at times and lose that joy of living? Overwhelmed by life? Always wishing they could look better and thrive more from day to day? To be truly healthy, people need to do more than eat a colorful, whole-foods diet, get enough shut-eye and jog around the block. They also need to be mentally and spiritually balanced — calm, focused, energized and joyful — something author Susan Smith Jones, PhD has been practicing and teaching for over 35 years.
“Getting back to basics” is the foundation of Susan’s most helpful and comprehensive book, Choose to THRIVE. Her easy-to-follow program is an indispensable and refreshing change from most health and self-improvement books that only focus on one particular aspect of health. Balance is the key and Susan keeps the reader focused on the long-term results that come from a healthy lifestyle. Whether people are looking for the best superfoods to restore youthful vitality, easy ways to minimize stress and feel joyfully alive, or just want to simplify life, feel confident, achieve heartfelt goals, prosper and achieve success and flourish in your life, Choose to THRIVE is the book with it all.

I have one word of warning for you. Once you read Choose to THRIVE, you’ll be inspired to make major lifestyle changes for the better. So, get yourself ready—for a healthier and more joyful, peaceful new you will emerge once you’ve met this glorious Renaissance lady. I love this book because Susan’s sage advice, practical tips and buoyant, vivacious personality sparkle forth on every page. And from my personal experience of working with Susan for almost a decade, and seeing her first-hand interact with others, I can say for certain that Susan has never met a stranger and can speak with anyone from all walks of life. She has a calm and peaceful demeanor, the humor of a comedian, the curiosity of a child, the wisdom of a favorite grandparent and the non-judgment of a best friend—all rolled into one. Choose to THRIVE will also bless your life, as it has for me many times over, in countless ways and put you on the path to high-level vitality, success, prosperity, equanimity and a balanced, joy-filled life.

Be the Change
Living with Faith, Confidence & Vigor
This book shows you how to live a balanced life and how to tie the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of life together to create a holistic approach to successful living. It’s within your God-given power to choose. If you want to create positive changes in your life, it is you who must first choose to be the shining example of that change.

Susan tells us that health and happiness are the direct results of the countless choices that we make in life—how we eat, exercise, think, play, pray and rest. The strength of our faith, the level of our confidence and our overall perspective on life play a major role in our joy of living. Our attitudes determine our experience of life, love and health. Knowing which choices are the healthy choices is what this book addresses.

She shows you how health and happiness are so much more than just feeling fine, but are, as she writes in the book, ‘a quality of life, a joy and radiance for living such that every day, each and every moment, is a celebration.’ This book is for anyone who wants to create a life filled with vitality, passion, confidence, faith, success and joy. Who doesn’t want those qualities to infuse their daily activities and lives? This reader-friendly, health-enhancing and beautifully designed book makes a wonderful gift for family and friends.

Invest in Yourself with Exercise
Tactics to Build the Exercise Habit and Enrich & Energize Your Workouts
Modern living has channeled the average person in the USA and the UK into an increasingly sedentary existence. We human beings, however, were designed and built for movement, and our bodies have not adapted well to this reduced level of activity.
Yes, what we put into our bodies with nutrition is of utmost importance, but how we move our bodies is equally as important. If you do exercise regularly, you may have to cope with lack of enthusiasm at one time or another. How can you stay motivated to workout? “Just do it” was one of Nike’s rallying slogans of the late ’90s, but sometimes it can be tough to live up to. Sooner or later, a lack of motivation, boredom or burnout will enter the picture.
Invest in Yourself with Exercise is the perfect book if you want to make transformative changes in your level of fitness, reshape your body, say good-bye to excess fat, make your workouts enjoyable and rewarding and see results quickly. Susan’s well-designed physical fitness program can add years of fulfillment, vibrant health and peace of mind to your life.
“In the pages of this informative and uplifting book, you’ll learn from Susan:
• The importance of exercise for overall high-level wellness
• How to get the most from your workouts and stay motivated to exercise
• Tips to prevent exercise boredom, burnout and injury
• The best exercises to look younger, bolster energy and lose weight
• Surefire ways to fight excess fat by mastering your metabolism
• Why prayer-walking enhances mental and spiritual health
• How to turn dreams into reality—the power of choice and commitment
Plus so much more. As Susan told me often in our training sessions, ‘An investment in yourself and in your health is the best investment you can make.’ This book will inspire, motivate and empower you, too.”

Kitchen Gardening
Rejuvenate with Homegrown Sprouts
Welcome to the wonderful world of sprouts. These remarkable gifts of nature are pure, fresh, nutrient-rich and alive with their vital force intact. If you’re interested in experiencing healing, optimal health and vitality, then make sprouts — the food for the future — part of your healthy-giving kitchen and lifestyle. Sprouts have been the cornerstone of Susan’s wellness program since she was a teenager and, ever since, she’s been known as “The Sprout Lady.”
Think about it this way: What food can you easily produce and enjoy whether you are 3 years old or 93, vegan or carnivore or are living in an inner-city high-rise or on an isolated island? What food is grown indoors with no soil, is harvested in two to seven days, and is loved by children and adults alike? What can supply your family with fresh vegetables year-round, regardless of the season? What food is edible raw or cooked, and is delicious either eaten all by itself or included in an exciting array of recipes? The answer is SPROUTS.
Excerpt from David Craddock’s Foreword:
“In the pages of the Kitchen Gardening, you will learn how to become competent on everything related to sprouting: how to grow sprouts; why sprouts are so salubrious; which sprouts are most nutrient-rich; ways to incorporate sprouts and microgreens into meals and snacks morning, noon and night; how raw foods revitalize the body from the inside out and so much more. You’ll even learn about the Essene, a community where Jesus and his family were known to live and their secrets to living 120 years… and in robust health, to boot. It’s astonishing to me that in only 2-7 days, we can grow nutrient-rich sprouts in a corner of our kitchen, and for only pennies per batch and a couple minutes of our time daily. No matter one’s weather conditions outside, or location in the world, in any size kitchen, you can find space to grow a garden and become an expert at sprouting within a week or two. In most cases, all you need is one guard-size glass jar. I am proud to call myself a kitchen gardener, thanks to Susan’s wisdom and guidance in this book. This is the most reader-friendly, beautifully designed in full-color and comprehensive book on the ABCs of sprouting ever, and it will be indispensable in your healthy living program, too. It makes a wonderful gift for family and friends and for anyone who wishes to create a healthier, happier and more rewarding life.”

The ABCs of Sprouts & How They Supercharge Vitality — Part 1
Susan extols the virtues of sprouts in this radio interview on This Week in America. As she enthusiastically opines, sprouts are nature’s little miracles.

Add air and a little water and watch as new life emerges as if by magic from the dormant seed. Vibrant with life and bursting with energy, its tiny size belies the extraordinary activity that takes place while growing. In mere hours, and at a cost to you of just pennies, its delicate shoot proceeds to provide the most vital food imaginable.
