Review In my lifetime, Ive understood diet played a big role in the quality of my life, so I ate what I considered to be good for me. From childhood, the litany of ‘eat your vegetables’ was drummed into me, sometimes literally. Naturally, me being Southern, there was always meat served with those veggies, and most times it was used to flavor them. 64 years later, I meet the Esselstyns, and they say ‘eat your vegetables, but eat them raw or cooked with no oil!’ WHAT?! But, I tried it. Its truly amazing what the things I already liked really tasted like. Even more amazing: the number of plant-based creations that are possible. I wont go into the gigantic health benefits that came my way as a result of my decision to go plant-based, but I will say that 30 lost pounds and an infinite number of compliments later, Im more than happy. I hope youll treat yourself to one of these recipes and just open that door. I guarantee you wont close it! -Samuel L. Jackson This is a great cookbook for treating and reversing heart disease as well as a wide variety of other ailments and diseases. So hear the whisper of your heart and do it a favor. Try these recipes and see for yourself what a fantastic difference they can make for your health. Dr. Esselstyn’s amazing accomplishments are backed up by Ann and Jane’s health enriching recipes. -T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, and Karen Campbell, Director of the Center for Nutrition Studies Praise for Caldwell Esselstyns Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease “Proves that changes in diet (and that alone) cause radical changes in the age and disease of your arteries.” -Michael Roizen, M.D., coauthor of You: On a Diet “Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has directed pioneering research demonstrating that the progression of even severe coronary heart disease can often be reversed by making comprehensive changes in diet and lifestyle.” -Dean Ornish, M.D., founder, President, and Director, Preventive Medicine Research Institute, and author of Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease “A hard-nosed scientist shows us his secrets for successfully cleaning the rusting arteries of so many patients-and it doesn’t even hurt.” -Mehmet Oz, M.D., coauthor of You: The Owner’s Manual “Dr. Esselstyn has always been ahead of his time. His focus on the healing powers of proper nutrition on diseased coronary arteries has now proven right, raising another unthinkable notion-that heart patients can cure themselves.” -Bernadine Healy, M.D., former Director, National In...

-Titulo Original : Neurotribes The Legacy Of Autism And The Future Of Neurodiversity-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: This New York Times-bestselling book upends conventional thinking about autism and suggests a broader model for acceptance, understanding, and full participation in society for people who think differently. What is autism? A lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is all of these things and more-and the future of our society depends on our understanding it. Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years. Going back to the earliest days of autism research, Silberman offers a gripping narrative of Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger, the research pioneers who defined the scope of autism in profoundly different ways; he then goes on to explore the game-changing concept of neurodiversity. NeuroTribes considers the idea that neurological differences such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD are not errors of nature or products of the toxic modern world, but the result of natural variations in the human genome. This groundbreaking bookwill reshape our understanding of the history, meaning, function, and implications of neurodiversity in our world. Review Winner of the 2015 Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction Ambitious, meticulous and largehearted history...NeuroTribes is beautifully told, humanizing, important. -The New York Times Book Review Mr. Silberman has surely written the definitive book about [autism’s] past. -The Economist “A comprehensive history of the science and culture surrounding autism studies…an essential resource.” -Nature magazine “NeuroTribes is a sweeping and penetrating history, presented with a rare sympathy and sensitivity. It is fascinating reading; it will change how you think of autism, and it belongs, alongside the works of Temple Grandin and Clara Claiborne Park, on the bookshelf of anyone interested in autism and the workings of the human brain.” --From the foreword by Oliver Sacks, author of An Anthropologist On Mars and Awakenings “Breathtaking… as emotionally resonant as any [book] this year. -The Boston Globe “A lively, readable book… To read NeuroTribes is to realize how much autistic people have enriched the scope of human knowledge and diversity, and how impoverished the world would be without them.” -The San Francisco Chronicle “It is a beautifully written and thoughtfully crafted book, a historical tour of autism, richly populated with fascinating and engaging characters, and a rallying call to respect difference.” - Science magazine “Epic and often shocking…Everyone with an interest in the history of science and medicine - how it has failed us, surprised us and benefited us - should read this book.” -Chicago Tribune “The best book you can read to understand autism -Gizmodo “Required reading for every parent, teacher, therapist, and person who wants to know more about autism” -Parents This is perhaps the most significant history of the discovery, changing conception and public reaction to autism we will see in a generation. -TASH.org “A well-researched, readable report on the treatment of autism that explores its history and proposes significant changes for its future…In the foreword, Oliver Sacks writes that this sweeping and penetrating history…is fascinating reading that will change how you think of autism. No argument with that assessment. -Kirkus Reviews “The monks who inscribed beautiful manuscripts during the Middle Ages, Cavendish an 18th century scientist who explained electricity, and many of the geeks in Silicon Valley are all on the autism spectrum. Silberman reviews the history of autism treatments from horrible blaming of parents to the modern positive neurodiversity movement. Essential reading for anyone interested in psychology.” --Temple Grandin, aut...

-Titulo Original : Every Shot Must Have A Purpose How Golf54 Can Make You A Better Player-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: Two legendary coaches give golfers a powerful new approach to the game... and to life. As coaches to some of golf’s top players, Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott have designed and refined a revolutionary way of teaching the game, with phenomenal results. They don’t believe in prescribing the same stance, grip, and swing to everyone, followed by hours of purposeless drilling. They don’t even believe in beginning with physical technique. Their success has proven to them that a great game begins with a great vision. Unlike any other golf book, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose offers cutting-edge techniques for integrating the physical, technical, mental, emotional, and social parts of a player’s game. The book’s revolutionary pre-shot routine will improve your focus, leading to a golf swing that is not only successful but can be repeated under extreme pressure. Emphasizing the individual golfer rather than a rigid set of mechanics, their VISION54 method takes the frustration out of the game. Why 54? Because they believe it’s possible to shoot a 54 (making a birdie on every hole of a par-72 course) if you have the right mind-set and well-honed intuitive power. An engaging read for the beginner or the seasoned golfer, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose is inspiration for life, not just the links. Review I have been impressed by Pia ever since I saw her in action in the late 1980’s, first as a player and then as my coach. Pia is open-minded and intelligent and possesses the desire to constantly help others develop... I have been inspired to follow her beliefs and life philosophy. -Annika Sorenstam, LPGA About the Author Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott cofounded VISION54/Coaching for the Future, Inc. Their golf school, Golf54, in Phoenix, AZ was recently named Golf magazines #1 in the nation. In addition to serving as Annika Sorenstam’s coach and coaching the Swedish national golf team, Nilsson has spoken at numerous conferences worldwide. Marriott has been named one of Golf Digest’s 50 Greatest Teachers and one of Golf Magazine’s 100 Top Teachers, coaching major figures such as Grace Park and Ken Kellaney.

Introduction 8Imagine the Impossible; Then Figure Out How to Make It Happene =Ron Sirak 8The secret of success is constancy to purpose.e =Benjamin Disraeli, nineteenth-century English prime minister What you are about to read is a golf book unlike any other. Through years of teaching players of all different skill levels=from beginners to top professionals=Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott have refined an approach to instruction that is not bogged down in arm angles, spine positions, and swing thoughts so complex they would make the average golferfs brain freeze with confused indecision. Rather, VISION54, the revolutionary approach to the game that Pia developed in Sweden twenty years ago and that she refined with Lynn as GOLF54, teaches that peak performance on the golf course is achieved by simplifying the game, not by burdening the pupil with overly technical instruction. As Pia and Lynn say, 8Itfs all about the person first.e What you will find in these pages is a life philosophy, not merely a golf instruction book. It is the most radical departure from traditional golf instruction yet to come along. VISION54 teaches us to expand our concept of limits. GOLF54 provides the tools that make it possible for us to achieve our vision. The intuitive intelligence of Pia and Lynnfs approach reduces the game to such a basic and accessible level that you will frequently find yourself, as I did, shaking your head and saying, 8Of course,e when they point out an obvious aspect of the game that has been obscured by what they call the Pez Dispenser School of Instruction=8Bend your knees, thirty bucks please.e GOLF54 takes us back to the reason we started to play...

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Consider the joke about a husband who thinks his wife is losing her hearing. He gets so frustrated that he tells his doctor about it. The doctor gives the man a test to try later in order to diagnose the severity of his wife’s problem. “When you get home,” the doctor advises, “stand about thirty feet away from your wife when her back is turned to you and ask her what’s for dinner. If she doesn’t hear you, move about fifteen feet behind her and ask again. If she still doesn’t hear you, stand just five feet behind her, raise your voice, and say, ‘What’s for dinner?’ That should tell us how bad her hearing problem really is.” So the man goes home and asks his wife what’s for dinner from thirty feet away. No answer. Fifteen feet away, again no answer. Finally, standing just five feet behind his wife, he shouts, “What’s for dinner?” At which point his wife turns around yells, “I told you three fucking times already, chicken!” Sometimes, without even realizing it, we are deaf to the people around us and it’s far from funny. This can true when it comes to children and parents. I remember when my son was sixteen and spent his summer counselor-in-train...

The ketogenic diet kick-starts your bodys metabolism so it burns fat, instead of sugar, as its primary fuel. But most ketogenic plans are meat- and dairy-heavy, creating a host of other problems, especially for those who prefer plants at the center of the plate. Dr. Will Cole comes to the rescue with Ketotarian, which has all the fat-burning benefits without the antibiotics and hormones that are packed into most keto diets. First developed for individuals suffering from seizures, keto diets have been shown to reduce inflammation and lower the risk of many chronic health problems including Alzheimers and some cancers.

-Titulo Original : The Myth Of Normal Trauma, Illness, And Healing In A Toxic Culture-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The instant New York Times bestseller By the acclaimed author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, a groundbreaking investigation into the causes of illness, a bracing critique of how our society breeds disease, and a pathway to health and healing. In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Mate eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health? Over four decades of clinical experience, Mate has come to recognize the prevailing understanding of “normal” as false, neglecting the roles that trauma and stress, and the pressures of modern-day living, exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense of good health. For all our expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today’s culture stresses the body, burdens the immune system, and undermines emotional balance. Now Mate brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects the dots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness of society-and offers a compassionate guide for health and healing. Cowritten with his son Daniel, The Myth Of Normal is Mate’s most ambitious and urgent book yet. Review In The Myth of Normal, Gabor Mate takes us on an epic journey of discovery about how our emotional well-being, and our social connectivity (in short: how we live), is intimately intertwined with health, disease and addictions. Chronic mental and physical illnesses may not be separate and distinct diseases, but intricate, multilayered processes that reflect (mal)adaptations to the cultural context that we live in, and the values we live by. This riveting and beautifully written tale has profound implications for all of our lives, including the practice of medicine and mental health.--Bessel A. van der Kolk MD, President, Trauma Research Foundation, Professor of psychiatry, Boston University School of Medicine, #1 New York Times Bestseller: The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma Gabor and Daniel Mate have created a magnificent resource for us all in The Myth of Normal, a powerful, in-depth, science-packed, inspiring story-filled opus that helps us see how stress within our culture shapes our well-being in all its facets. By carefully reviewing medical and mental health through a wide lens of inquiry, they challenge simplistic views of disease and disorder to offer instead a wider perspective on human flourishing that has direct implications for how we live individually, at home, and as a larger human family. A thorough and inspiring work of the heart, this book urges us to question our assumptions and think deeply about who we are and how we can live more fully and freely, harnessing the power of the mind to bring healing and wholeness into our shared lives on Earth.--Daniel J. Siegel, MD, Clinical Professor, UCLA School of Medicine, Executive Director, Mindsight Institute, New York Times bestselling author of IntraConnected: MWe (Me plus We) as the integration of self, identity, and belonging Wise, sophisticated, rigorous and creative: an intellectual and compassionate investigation of who we are and who we may become. Essential reading for anyone with a past and a future.--Tara Westover, New York Times bestselling author, Educated Gabor and Daniel Mate have delivered a book in which readers can seek refuge and solace during moments of profound personal and social crisis. The Myth of Normal is an essential compass during disorienting times.-- Esther Pe...

Our story: how we came together and why “Rawr!” my son, Luca, roared as he marched his toy dinosaurs across a broccoli jungle. Lookingover the roasted broccoli and plastic dinos scattered on a large sheet pan, I thought to myself,“This is crazy. I’m losing it!” But as we sat there, feeding a stegosaurus a small floret, I watched as Luca, for the first time in his life, brought a piece of broccoli to his mouth, licked it, and ateit. As I stared in disbelief, he started feeding himself and the dinosaurs broccoli, floret by floret,until they had downed a couple of cups. To this day, broccoli is his favorite vegetable. Why am I sharing this story-and why was my son eating veggies with dinosaurs? It had been a year of countless frustrating and demoralizing mealtimes during which my almost-two-year-oldson refused to try any new foods. I needed guidance and reached out to Judy, an occupationaltherapist who specializes in pediatric feeding therapy and is cofounder of Feeding Littles, an online resource for helping families feed their children. When we chatted, she didn’t askabout Luca’s picky eating but about his personality, likes, and dislikes. “Well, Judy, he neverstops playing. He can’t sit still,” I told her. Hearing that, she...

They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of lifes inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy-from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.

And it’s a book that vividly probes the very nature of joy itself - the illusions that eclipse it, the obstacles that obscure it, the practices that cultivate it, and the pillars that sustain it. -Rich Roll, The Rich Roll Podcast About the Author His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, describes himself as a simple Buddhist monk. He is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan People and of Tibetan Buddhism. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 and the US Congressional Gold Medal in 2007.

-Titulo Original : The Anti-viral Gut Tackling Pathogens From The Inside Out-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: A practical plan for strengthening the incredible antiviral defenses located in your gut and resolving symptoms-from a renowned gastroenterologist and the author of Gutbliss. Multiple studies have now confirmed a dramatic link between the health of our microbiome-the trillions of bacteria that live in our digestive tract-and our likelihood of getting devastating viral illnesses like COVID-19. Low-fiber diets, limited exposure to nature, and overzealous use of pharmaceuticals have messed up our microbiome, making many of us more susceptible to viruses than we naturally should be. But the good news is that unlike our genes, our microbiome is constantly evolving, offering a pathway back to health for those who are suffering, and proven protection for those who want to stay well. In The Anti-Viral Gut, Dr. Robynne Chutkan explains this groundbreaking research and offers a prescriptive plan for anyone trying to avoid or recover from a viral illness to rehab their gut microbes and restore their health. In this powerful road map to strengthening the gut-immune system, Chutkan gives practical advice for balancing both your internal and external environment by optimizing diet, exercise, sleep, and time outdoors to boost your host defenses and overall health. The Anti-Viral Gut includes: a step-by-step nutrition plan, including recipes to improve your good gut bacteria and an explanation of which foods and preparation methods bring you the fastest results protocols for replacing immune-suppressive, microbiome-disruptive medications with safer alternatives guidelines for exercise, sleep hygiene, and stress reduction methods for working mindfulness, breathwork, and meditation into your daily routine advice on maximizing the potent antiviral effects of nature Complete with inspiring stories from Dr. Chutkan’s own patients who have battled COVID-19, The Anti-Viral Gut will empower readers to jump-start their journey toward healing. Review “A thriving gut microbiome empowers a strong immune system, and now more than ever we need our gut and our immune system aligned in support of our body. Grab your copy of The Anti-Viral Gut today and find out how!” --Will Bulsiewicz, MD, author of the New York Times bestsellers Fiber Fueled and The Fiber Fueled Cookbook “The message of this book is optimistic, hopeful, and deeply practical-we have the power to strengthen our immunity through changes to our diet and the way we move through the world. Dr. Chutkan shows us that path. Essential reading.” --Terry Wahls, MD, author The Wahls Protocol and The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life “A step-by-step program that provides an extra, but incredibly crucial layer to protect your health and well-being. We need to be ready not just for new variants, but perhaps for the pandemics of the future, and this is the first book I’ve read that gives readers a blueprint to create the strong foundation of health they need.” --Mark Hyman, MD, author of Food Fix “In this must-read for our times, integrative gastroenterologist Dr. Robynne Chutkan, MD shows us how, in additional to the conventional medicines we rely on, we can transform our inner terrain-particularly that of our gut-into a powerful, intrinsic force of immune health. We need a novel approach to the mounting problems of antibiotic resistance and novel viruses, and we need it fast. This is innovation and ecosystem medicine at its best.” --Aviva Romm, MD, author of the New York Times bestselling Hormone Intelligence “Dr. Robynne Chutkan’s deep expertise and ability to translate the most cutting-edge science comes together in her important new book. It’s the actionable plan we all need not just to survive, but to thrive and flourish during this new pandemic era.” --Frank Lipman, MD, coauthor of the New York Times bestselling The New Health Rules “Robynne Chutkan is the fairy godmother of the microbiome. She shows us that our gut is tough when we treat it right-it can protect us and ...

-Titulo Original : Becoming Better Grownups Rediscovering What Matters And Remembering How To Fly-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: A New York Times-bestselling author looks for the meaning of a good life by seeking advice from the very young and the very old. When his first book tour ended, Brad Montague missed hearing other peoples stories so much that he launched what he dubbed a Listening Tour. First visiting elementary schools and later also nursing homes and retirement communities, he hoped to glean new wisdom as to how he might become a better grownup. Now, in this playful and buoyant book, he shares those insights with rest of us --timeless, often surprising lessons that bypass the head were always stuck in, and go straight to the heart we sometimes forget. Each of the books three sections begins with the illustrated story of The Incredible Floating Girl. Brad weaves this story together with lessons of success, fear, regret, gratitude, love, happiness, and dreams to reveal the true reason we are here: to fly, and to help others fly. Beautifully designed and featuring Montagues own whimsical 4-color illustrations that appeal to the kid in all of us, Becoming Better Grownups shares the purpose and meaning we can all discover merely by listening, and reveals that--in a world that seems increasingly childish--the secret to joy is in fact to become more childlike...

-Titulo Original : Love And Lemons Simple Feel Good Food 125 Plant-focused Meals To Enjoy Now Or Make Ahead-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The instant New York Times bestseller Love and Lemons is back with make-now and make-ahead vegetarian recipes-including 100 tested vegan options-for every kind of cook. What type of cook are you? That is the question Jeanine Donofrio, creator of the wildly successful blog Love & Lemons and bestselling cookbooks by the same name, asks her readers in her newest book, Love & Lemons: Simple Feel-Good Food. Jeanine is beloved for her bright and breezy cook-from-the-hip style where trips to the farmers market lead to impromptu, seasonal meals. But, as life has gotten busier (shes a mom now), meal plans and weekly prep have entered into the rotation, too. Over the last few years, Jeanine has realized that getting fresh, nourishing, and flavor-packed meals to the table daily is doable through different approaches. After engaging with millions of her followers, two cooking camps crystallized: those who love easy, at-the-ready dishes that can be made at the drop of a hat and those who like to plan in advance (like Jeanines mom who always has a whole lasagna in the freezer, a trick Jeanine has since adopted). Now, for the first time, shes put pen-to-paper serving up feel-good recipes for both types of home cooks, and those who toggle between, just like herself. In Love & Lemons: Simple Feel-Good Food, each chapter-Breakfast, Salads, Soups, Dinner, and Dessert-is divided into two parts: one for recipes made with minimal prep and ingredients (at the ready), and the second for food prepared ahead of time (in advance), whether that be components or full dishes destined for the freezer. Here, morning meals can be met with quick-to-assemble Spiced Chickpea Waffles or Skillet Granola while pre-made pancake dry mix ensures a fluffy stack is just minutes away. Rainbow Blender Soups turn one base into four colorful bowls while Tortellini Soup with Lemon Peel Broth offers an elegant, no-waste trick. Quick, meatless mains include Spring Pea Fritters with Whipped Feta, Chickpea Cacio e Pepe, and a range of sheet pan dinners such as Eggplant Sheet Pan Shawarma, while two different homemade veggie burgers (White Bean Swiss Chard and Sweet Potato Paneer) require some forethought but store brilliantly. Moreover, eight no-waste meal plans (what Jeanine calls 3-in-1 recipes -- three dinner dishes made with one whole vegetable) further provide kitchen ease without sacrificing flair or freshness. And, as with her previous books, scattered throughout are Jeanines signature flow charts, offering visual guides to reusing, mixing, and matching ingredients to create fresh, must-eat dishes for grain bowls, lasagnas, tacos, and more...

-Titulo Original : The Beauty Of What Remains How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The national bestseller From the author of the bestselling More Beautiful Than Before comes an inspiring book about loss based on his most popular sermon.

This inspiring and comforting book takes us on a journey through the experience of loss that is fundamental to everyone. Yet even after having sat beside thousands of deathbeds, Steve Leder the rabbi was not fully prepared for the loss of his own father. It was only then that Steve Leder the son truly learned how loss makes life beautiful by giving it meaning and touching us with love that we had not felt before. Enriched by Rabbi Leders irreverence, vulnerability, and wicked sense of humor, this heartfelt narrative is filled with laughter and tears, the wisdom of millennia and modernity, and, most of all, an unfolding of the profound and simple truth that in loss we gain more than we ever imagined...

-Titulo Original : The Knowledge Gap The Hidden Cause Of Americas Broken Education System--and How To Fix It-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The untold story of the root cause of Americas education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our countrys frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasnt one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculums intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension skills at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoffs The Prize and Dana Goldsteins The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isnt just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention...

-Titulo Original : This Is Your Brain On Birth Control The Surprising Science Of Women, Hormones, And The Law Of Unintended Consequences-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: An eye-opening book that reveals crucial information every woman taking hormonal birth control should know This groundbreaking book sheds light on how hormonal birth control affects women--and the world around them--in ways we are just now beginning to understand. By allowing women to control their fertility, the birth control pill has revolutionized womens lives. Women are going to college, graduating, and entering the workforce in greater numbers than ever before, and theres good reason to believe that the birth control pill has a lot to do with this. But theres a lot more to the pill than meets the eye. Although women go on the pill for a small handful of targeted effects (pregnancy prevention and clearer skin, yay!), sex hormones cant work that way. Sex hormones impact the activities of billions of cells in the body at once, many of which are in the brain. There, they play a role in influencing attraction, sexual motivation, stress, hunger, eating patterns, emotion regulation, friendships, aggression, mood, learning, and more. This means that being on the birth control pill makes women a different version of themselves than when they are off of it. And this is a big deal. For instance, women on the pill have a dampened cortisol spike in response to stress. While this might sound great (no stress!), it can have negative implications for learning, memory, and mood. Additionally, because the pill influences who women are attracted to, being on the pill may inadvertently influence who women choose as partners, which can have important implications for their relationships once they go off it. Sometimes these changes are for the better . . . but other times, theyre for the worse. By changing what womens brains do, the pill also has the ability to have cascading effects on everything and everyone that a woman encounters. This means that the reach of the pill extends far beyond womens own bodies, having a major impact on society and the world. This paradigm-shattering book provides an even-handed, science-based understanding of who women are, both on and off the pill. It will change the way that women think about their hormones and how they view themselves. It also serves as a rallying cry for women to demand more information from science about how their bodies and brains work and to advocate for better research. This book will help women make more informed decisions about their health, whether theyre on the pill or off of it...

-Titulo Original : Daring Greatly How The Courage To Be Vulnerable Transforms The Way We Live, Love, Parent, And Lead-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The #1 New York Times bestseller. More than 2 million copies sold! Look for Brene Brown’s new podcast, Dare to Lead, as well as her ongoing podcast Unlocking Us! From thought leader Brene Brown, a transformative new vision for the way we lead, love, work, parent, and educate that teaches us the power of vulnerability. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”-Theodore Roosevelt Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on twelve years of pioneering research, Brene Brown PhD, MSW, dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity. She writes: “When we shut ourselves off from vulnerability, we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.” Daring Greatly is not about winning or losing. It’s about courage. In a world where “never enough” dominates and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. Uncomfortable. It’s even a little dangerous at times. And, without question, putting ourselves out there means there’s a far greater risk of getting criticized or feeling hurt. But when we step back and examine our lives, we will find that nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful as standing on the outside of our lives looking in and wondering what it would be like if we had the courage to step into the arena-whether it’s a new relationship, an important meeting, the creative process, or a difficult family conversation. Daring Greatly is a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen...

-Titulo Original : The Longevity Diet Slow Aging, Fight Disease, Optimize Weight-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The internationally renowned, clinically tested, revolutionary diet program to lose weight, fight disease, and live a longer, healthier life. Can what you eat determine how long, and how well, you live? The clinically proven answer is yes, and The Longevity Diet is easier to follow than youd think. The culmination of 25 years of research on aging, nutrition, and disease across the globe, this unique program lays out a simple solution to living to a healthy old age through nutrition. The key is combining the healthy everyday eating plan the book outlines, with the scientifically engineered fasting-mimicking diet, or FMD; the FMD, done just 3-4 times a year, does away with the misery and starvation most of us experience while fasting, allowing you to reap all the beneficial health effects of a restrictive diet, while avoiding negative stressors, like low energy and sleeplessness. Valter Longo, director of the Longevity Institute at USC and the Program on Longevity and Cancer at IFOM in Milan, designed the FMD after making a series of remarkable discoveries in mice, then in humans, indicating that specific diets can activate stem cells and promote regeneration and rejuvenation in multiple organs to significantly reduce risk for diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease. Longo’s simple pescatarian daily eating plan and the periodic fasting-mimicking techniques can both yield impressive results. Low in proteins and sugars and rich in healthy fats and plant-based foods, The Longevity Diet is proven to help you: * Lose weight and reduce abdominal fat * Extend your healthy lifespan with simple everyday changes * Prevent age-related muscle and bone loss * Build your resistance to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimers and cancer Longo’s healthy, life span-extending program is based on an easy-to-adopt pescatarian plan along with the fasting-mimicking diet no more than 4 times a year, just 5 days at a time. Including 30 easy recipes for an everyday diet based on Longos five pillars of longevity, The Longevity Diet is the key to living a longer, healthier, more fulfilled life...
