Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great fears many of us face is that despite all our effort and striving, we will discover at the end that we have wasted our life. In A Guide to the Good Life, William B. Irvine plumbs the wisdom of Stoic philosophy, one of the most popular and successful schools of thought in ancient Rome, and shows how its insight and advice are still remarkably applicable to modern lives. In A Guide to the Good Life, Irvine offers a refreshing presentation of Stoicism, showing how this ancient philosophy can still direct us toward a better life. Using the psychological insights and the practical techniques of the Stoics, Irvine offers a roadmap for anyone seeking to avoid the feelings of chronic dissatisfaction that plague so many of us. Irvine looks at various Stoic techniques for attaining tranquility and shows how to put these techniques to work in our own life. As he does so, he describes his own experiences practicing Stoicism and offers valuable first-hand advice for anyone wishing to live better by following in the footsteps of these ancient philosophers. Readers learn how to minimize worry, how to let go of the past and focus our efforts on the things we can control, and how to deal with insults, grief, old age, and the distracting temptations of fame and fortune. We learn from Marcus Aurelius the importance of prizing only things of true value, and from Epictetus we learn how to be more content with what we have. Finally, A Guide to the Good Life shows readers how to become thoughtful observers of their own lives. If we watch ourselves as we go about our daily business and later reflect on what we saw, we can better identify the sources of distress and eventually avoid that pain in our life. By doing this, the Stoics thought, we can hope to attain a truly joyful life.

Sandwiched between barbed wire and a meadow with a sign that reads "Don't Get Shot!" the resort boasts boutique fishing at its finest. Safe from viruses that have plagued America for years, Kingfisher offers a respite for wealthy clients. Now it also promises a second chance for Jack, a return to normalcy after a young life filled with loss. When he is assigned to guide a well-known singer, his only job is to rig her line, carry her gear, and steer her to the best trout he can find. But then a human scream pierces the night, and Jack soon realizes that this idyllic fishing lodge may be merely a cover for a far more sinister operation. A novel as gripping as it is lyrical, as frightening as it is moving, The Guide is another masterpiece from Peter Heller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Alternate Side, Anna Quindlen’s classic reflection on a meaningful life makes a perfect gift for any occasion. “Life is made of moments, small pieces of silver amidst long stretches of tedium. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won’t happen. We have to teach ourselves now to live, really live . . . to love the journey, not the destination.” In this treasure of a book, Anna Quindlen, the bestselling novelist and columnist, reflects on what it takes to “get a life”—to live deeply every day and from your own unique self, rather than merely to exist through your days. “Knowledge of our own mortality is the greatest gift God ever gives us,” Quindlen writes, “because unless you know the clock is ticking, it is so easy to waste our days, our lives.” Her mother died when Quindlen was nineteen: “It was the dividing line between seeing the world in black and white, and in Technicolor. The lights came on for the darkest possible reason. . . . I learned something enduring, in a very short period of time, about life. And that was that it was glorious, and that you had no business taking it for granted.” But how to live from that perspective, to fully engage in our days? In A Short Guide to a Happy Life, Quindlen guides us with an understanding that comes from knowing how to see the view, the richness in living.

Download or read book Summary Study Guide The Obesity Code written by Lee Tang and published by LMT Press. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything you believe about how to lose weight is wrong. This book is a summary of “The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss” by Jason Fung, MD. Most “Eat Less, Move More” programs failed to achieve long-term weight loss because “calorie in versus calorie out” is not the only factor that causes obesity. Obesity is a multifactorial disease. We need a coherent theory to understand how all its factors fit together. This complete summary of Dr. Jason Fung’s book provides one such coherent framework that can account for most of what we know about the real causes of obesity. It lays out the root cause of obesity and diabetes is hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, and the cure is reducing overall endogenous insulin production/secretion through manipulation of: * When to eat—practice intermittent fasting. * What to eat—whole foods rather than processed foods. * Avoid insulin spiking foods—sugars/processed carbohydrates/even protein. If you want to reverse type 2 diabetes and treat obesity, read and apply what you learn from this book.

Download or read book Summary Study Guide ADHD Nation written by Lee Tang and published by LMT Press. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone who works with children should read this book. This book is a summary of “ADHD Nation: Children, Doctors, Big Pharma, and the Making of an American Epidemic,” by Alan Schwarz. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a biological disorder of the brain that can be treated with medications when appropriate. In the 1980s, only 3 percent of American children were diagnosed with ADHD. But now that number is 15 percent—three times what the experts have said is appropriate. Meanwhile, the prevalence of ADHD in other countries such as France, Finland, and Japan, has remained low at below 1 percent. This means that millions of American kids, some as young as three years old, are misdiagnosed and taking powerful stimulant medications like Adderall and Ritalin for a psychiatric condition they probably do not have. This complete summary of Alan Schwarz’s book reveals the powerful forces fueling its widespread diagnosis and drug treatment through the experiences of three people. One is the father of ADHD and its medications, who now regrets its current misuse. The second is a 7-year-old girl who was misdiagnosed with ADHD. The third is a 14-year-old boy who faked symptoms to get the drug. Both kids spent ten years suffering the consequences of using the medication. Read this book if you are a parent, professional or individual who is dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.

Book excerpt: How to Improve Memory, Prevent Cognitive Decline, and Avoid Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Forms of Dementia This book is a summary of “Brain Food: The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power,” by Lisa Mosconi, Ph.D. Forty-six million people are living with dementia worldwide today, and this number will skyrocket to 132 million by the year 2050. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. No medication or supplement can delay or stop the progression of the disease because treating a patient once clinical symptoms have emerged is too late. Recent medical research offers us hope. Based on research from multiple specialties, Dr. Lisa Mosconi shows that lifestyle interventions such as dietary choices, weight modification, and physical activity could prevent Alzheimer’s, minimize cognitive decline, improve memory, and maximize brain power. As the most active organ of the body, the brain has nutritional needs ten times higher than other organs. Most people’s brains are underperforming because they are undernourished. In Brain Food, Dr. Mosconi explains how food affects our cognitive health and offers a complete food plan for optimal brain nourishment. Eating for your brain not only helps you prevent cognitive decline, but also helps you increase brain vitality, improve memory, cognition, and work performance.
