She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how we can as well.” —Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate “Dr. Edith Eva Eger is my kind of hero. She survived unspeakable horrors and brutality; but rather than let her painful past destroy her, she chose to transform it into a powerful gift—one she uses to help others heal.” —Jeannette Walls, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle Winner of the National Jewish Book Award and Christopher Award At the age of sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. Hours after her parents were killed, Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele, forced Edie to dance for his amusement and her survival. Edie was pulled from a pile of corpses when the American troops liberated the camps in 1945. Edie spent decades struggling with flashbacks and survivor’s guilt, determined to stay silent and hide from the past. Thirty-five years after the war ended, she returned to Auschwitz and was finally able to fully heal and forgive the one person she’d been unable to forgive—herself. Edie weaves her remarkable personal journey with the moving stories of those she has helped heal. She explores how we can be imprisoned in our own minds and shows us how to find the key to freedom. The Choice is a life-changing book that will provide hope and comfort to generations of readers.

She is truly the Goddess of Creativity.” —Loretta LaRoche, bestselling author of Juicy Living, Juicy Aging The world is on overload, at least from our modern-day Western perspective. Gail McMeekin believes that we can effectively reduce stress in our lives and bring more meaning into them, and she has developed a program to help people to do just that by showing them the power of making positive choices. Readers are taught to see their Serenity Stealers—issues, habits, people—that need to be “subtracted” from their lives. With those negative life choices gone—choices that deplete their energy and sidetrack them from their goals—readers are shown how to make positive life choices. Carefully selected and added one at a time, these life choices will bring them closer to the joy and meaningfulness they need and desire. The Power of Positive Choices is short and brief by design. Filled with probing questions and helpful self-tests, it is “a brilliant distillation of the steps we each need to take to make the power of choice work . . . [a] clear, vibrant, go-go juice of a book” (Jennifer Louden, author of Why Bother?: Discover the Desire for What’s Next). “By showing us how to confront and banish what’s holding us back and how to consciously choose what’s best in the long run, this book reminds us that we have choices that affect the quality of our lives and helps us create a life in which joy plays a leading role.” —Patti Breitman, author of How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty

Download or read book An Elegant Defense written by Matt Richtel and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Bestseller "Gives you all the context you need to understand the science of immunity. ... An Elegant Defense left me with [a] sense of awe.” —Bill Gates, Gates Notes Summer Reading List The Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times journalist "explicates for the lay reader the intricate biology of our immune system" (Jerome Groopman, MD, New York Review of Books) From New York Times science journalist Matt Richtel, An Elegant Defense is an acclaimed and definitive exploration of the immune system and the secrets of health. Interweaving cutting-edge science with the intimate stories of four individual patients, this epic, first-of-its-kind book “give[s] lay readers a means of understanding what’s known so far about the intricate biology of our immune systems” (The Week). The immune system is our body’s essential defense network, a guardian vigilantly fighting illness, healing wounds, maintaining order and balance, and keeping us alive. It has been honed by evolution over millennia to face an almost infinite array of threats. For all its astonishing complexity, however, the immune system can be easily compromised by fatigue, stress, toxins, advanced age, and poor nutrition—hallmarks of modern life—and even by excessive hygiene. Paradoxically, it is a fragile wonder weapon that can turn on our own bodies with startling results, leading today to epidemic levels of autoimmune disorders. An Elegant Defense effortlessly guides readers on a scientific detective tale winding from the Black Plague to twentieth-century breakthroughs in vaccination and antibiotics, to today’s laboratories that are revolutionizing immunology—perhaps the most extraordinary and consequential medical story of our time. Drawing on extensive new interviews with dozens of world-renowned scientists, Richtel has produced a landmark book, equally an investigation into the deepest riddles of survival and a profoundly human tale that is movingly brought to life through the eyes of his four main characters, each of whom illuminates an essential facet of our “elegant defense.”
