A Book and a Chat with Jason Alster

Jason Alster, fellow Connecticut and CAPA author makes a welcome return to today’s show to chat about his books and his new video books.

Whether you dream of moving across the US or to another continent or are returning home after a prolonged absence, Jason Alster’s "Leaving Home, Going Home, Returning Home" is an illuminating and inspiring read. This book is about the courage to change, to take risks, and to trust oneself regarding that place we wish to call home. Page after page, readers will discover the keys—and occasionally the secrets—to fitting in.

As Jason shared with us during the show, the book is a guidebook of sorts, not just for Jewish readers, but for anybody who has moved from one culture to another or interested in learning about Israeli culture.

Jason has now also produced two video books, both of which are available at Amazon video download.

Being In Control:

Being In Control is a method for increasing relaxed concentration in the classroom combined with accelerated learning strategies to help all students reach their potential and achieve higher grades. This method is especially successful with ADHD , Dyslexia , and Test Anxiety.

Anyone Can Improve Their Own Handwritingwas originally on Youtube, where this video had over 40,000 hits. Designed to help anyone with people who have messy handwriting and penmanship it is now also available as an Amazon video download.

From self help to books about Isriel Jasons approach is holistic and combines relaxed concentration techniques, accelerated learning strategies and study strategies with coaching. Jason is well rounded and also works as an artist as well as a respected author and publisher.

So listen to an interesting and hugely entertaining show as I spend thirty minutes sharing "A Book and a Chat with today Jason Alster"

A Book and a Chat with Jason M Alster


From trips to Israel to Natural Solutions For ADHD , Dyslexia , and Test Anxiety, throw in a book on creative painting for the young artist and a video on how to improve your handwriting and you have a snap shot of Jason M Alster, my guest on today’s “A Book and a Chat”.

With so much to cover it was a case of where to start with Jason. Like many children or your people he was told, he would never come to much, be a steady “B” student rather and an “A”, never get anywhere with his writing or his art. This was a challenge to Jason like the hero in “The Hobbit” Jason set out not only on his travels but to prove the “Nay Sayers” wrong.

His book "Leaving Home, Going Home, Returning Home" is a mosaic of vivid snapshots that clearly exhibits a remarkable insight into the heterogeneous and dynamic culture of Israel, while at the same time conveying to the reader the nuances of feelings, as well as the harshness of reality. And for anyone contemplating learning about life or even visiting Israel, this is a must read.

From this great book we followed Jason through his “Creative Painting For The Young Artist”.

A self help book for the young person who wants to choose art as a subject or the youngster who thinks art is not for him. This book shows the steps one needs to be a creative artist early on. It includes how to get over artist block, develop and artist statement, how to choose a subject to paint, develop an artist's mode of seeing, develop a composition, relaxation exercises for the young artist, art self critique and self promotion.

From there our discussion in today’s program moved to “Being In Control: Natural Solutions for ADHD, Dyslexia Dysgraphia, and Test Anxiety”. A book about natural techniques for improving relaxed concentration in the classroom and at home. Includes study strategies, creativity, personal achievement, all in a graphic picture mode.

As I said at the start with Jason it was a case of where to start and as the show shared, it’s not over yet for this talented writer.
