Chef Chad Sarno, Chef, Author, Culinary Educator, and Co-Founder of Wicked Healthy, said, of Dr. Mara and her book:
“Creating a state of mind and body well-being begins every moment, and we have a choice each time we sit down for a meal to start the journey. Dr. Mara offers an outlook on where we strive to be with personal wellness in a very genuine style, sharing with us some of her own experiences along the journey to health. As a chef and culinary educator, I enjoyed the Food for the Soul section and appreciate that she outlines how food affects our mood and, more specifically, how adding plant-based foods to our diet can improve our mind and body well-being. With the added support of the experts she has interviewed, Dr. Mara offers great guidance and the valuable steps toward a greater health and overall wellness––no matter our age.”

- Having a purpose gives our life meaning and excitement.
- Worrying what other people think is a sure-fire way to take the wind out of our sails.
- Staying healthy is simple and effective through better food choices and exercising.
- Laughing creates vitality and joy, and gives us the energy to pursue our dreams with passion.
Readers will also receive:
- Inspiration to find a new dream or renew an old one.
- Tips to get back on track in their own lives.
- Guidance to calm the mind and body.
- Permission to love yourself right now in this very moment.
Dr. Mara has received wide acclaim for her work in The Passionate Life.
Terry Hershey, inspirational speaker and author of fifteen books, including The Power of Pause: Becoming More by Doing Less, says, “I love good books, because they are born from real and personal stories. Where someone doesn’t tell me, they invite me. They show me ways to ‘come alive and start living.’ Mara invites us to appreciate and grasp what is already within. And she’s not just a teacher; she’s a guide who walks with us. The book may be an invitation to women perhaps, but after reading the book, I can tell you I definitely want some of what she’s talking about: the permission to live out loud, in our power, in the light, every day.”
“The Passionate Life is an excellent roadmap to help others discover their passions and live their purpose no matter their age or setbacks. Dr. Mara Karpel has put together a masterpiece that I recommend everyone to read,” says, Quentin Vennie, author of Strong in the Broken Places: A Memoir of Addiction and Redemption Through Wellness.
Additionally, the foreword was written by Stephen Russell, “The Barefoot Doctor,” author of Barefoot Doctor’s Handbook for the Urban Warrior: Wayword Taoist Survival Technique and The Message: Vision for a New Golden Era.
A graduate of Syracuse University, Dr. Mara Karpel has been a practicing clinical psychologist for over twenty-five years, specializing in working with older adults and caregivers, as well as adults of all ages who are dealing with issues of anxiety, depression––or desiring to create more joy in their lives.
