About the author
Oran Kangas
3 books3 followersA researcher specializing in health and healing, Oran is also an avid juicer. Now in his 80′s, he attributes his younger appearance to the healthy practice of daily juicing.
Born in Phoenix AZ, he quickly relocated to sunny California, where he remains.
He attended the University of California San Jose for more years than he cares to remember. “Eventually stumbling out into the real world armed only with 2 pieces of paper: Master’s degrees in Psychology and Physical Education.
“I soon learned that paper doth not a career make. Having no real skill other than classroom sitting, I made a brilliant career choice … and returned to college. This time computers were the bright shiny object that held my attention … for the next half century.”
Even today Oran spends 12 hours a day, 7 days a week staring at the 1-eyed beast that patiently stares back. Computers were and still remain his weapon of choice.
His calling came early. His passion was the martial arts. With black belts in Kung Fu and JuJitsu, lesser rankings in Judo, Aikido, and TaeKwanDo, and the traditional non-ranking of Tai Chi, he was ready to take on the world, figuratively and literally.
He settled into a life of teaching. But Life had other plans for the teacher. In his mid-30s his body gave out. With no other choice, he closed down his teaching and opened up a search: to learn the name of his hidden assailant. 10 years later there was a name (several, actually), but no cure (and there still isn’t). It was an auto-immune dysfunction — his body had betrayed him at the cellular level.
With no body to depend on, our intrepid Author-To-Be returned to the world of the mind. The computer was his tool; education, in the form of research, his career.
Oran lived happily ever after. So far. He now lives in Northern California with his wife and 14 cats.

Great time-saving book that shares the "best of the best" productivity tips for increasing personal and professional output and satisfaction. Very easy to read and relate to, the author's voice is one of efficiency mixed with a touch of humor. These "Big Ideas" have stuck with me, working their way into a busy schedule, offering me more time to "do" what I really want to be doing.
