Download or read book Doughnut Economics written by Kate Raworth and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economics is the mother tongue of public policy. It dominates our decision-making for the future, guides multi-billion-dollar investments, and shapes our responses to climate change, inequality, and other environmental and social challenges that define our times. Pity then, or more like disaster, that its fundamental ideas are centuries out of date yet are still taught in college courses worldwide and still used to address critical issues in government and business alike. That’s why it is time, says renegade economist Kate Raworth, to revise our economic thinking for the 21st century. In Doughnut Economics, she sets out seven key ways to fundamentally reframe our understanding of what economics is and does. Along the way, she points out how we can break our addiction to growth; redesign money, finance, and business to be in service to people; and create economies that are regenerative and distributive by design. Named after the now-iconic “doughnut” image that Raworth first drew to depict a sweet spot of human prosperity (an image that appealed to the Occupy Movement, the United Nations, eco-activists, and business leaders alike), Doughnut Economics offers a radically new compass for guiding global development, government policy, and corporate strategy, and sets new standards for what economic success looks like. Raworth handpicks the best emergent ideas—from ecological, behavioral, feminist, and institutional economics to complexity thinking and Earth-systems science—to address this question: How can we turn economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive, into economies that make us thrive, whether or not they grow? Simple, playful, and eloquent, Doughnut Economics offers game-changing analysis and inspiration for a new generation of economic thinkers.

Download or read book No Grain No Pain written by Peter Osborne and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A must-read book for anyone suffering from chronic pain” (Sara Gottfried, MD), No Grain, No Pain demonstrates the proven link between a gluten-heavy diet and chronic pain and discomfort—and offers a groundbreaking, 30-day, grain-free diet to help you heal yourself from the inside out. More than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, according to an Institute of Medicine report released in 2011. For many, chronic pain is part of an autoimmune disease, but all too often doctors turn to the same solution: painkilling drugs. But all of this medication simply isn’t helping, and as Dr. Peter Osborne, the leading authority on gluten sensitivity and food allergies has found, the real solution often lies in what you eat. In No Grain, No Pain, Dr. Osborne shows how grains wreak havoc on the body by causing tissue inflammation, creating vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and triggering an autoimmune response that causes the body to attack itself. But he also offers practical steps to find relief. Using his drug-free, easy-to-implement plan, you will be able to eliminate all sources of gluten and gluten-like substances, experience significant improvement in fifteen days, and eliminate pain within thirty days. The first book to identify diet—specifically, grain—as a leading cause of chronic suffering, No Grain, No Pain provides you with the knowledge you need to improve your health. Based on extensive research and examples culled from thousands of his satisfied patients, Dr. Osborne recommends changing your diet to achieve the relief that millions of Americans have been seeking once and for all, leading to a healthier, happier life.

Download or read book Dollars to Donuts written by Sudie Gal and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone loves a captivating story, but seldom do we recognize God calling us to live one! Especially while wading through the floodwaters. The Gospels reveal the real cost of following Jesus. It cost the disciples dearly to follow Him--cost in terms of their families, jobs and livelihoods, their fortunes, securities in the familiar, even their lives... When Sudie Gal was reborn in the Holy Spirit in July of 1977, she never could have imagined then the painful cost of following Jesus the rest of her days. He would eventually ask nearly everything of her as she found herself caregiving for her defiant, elderly mother in her dementia. God may call you to one day leave all the people and things you love most. Perhaps He already has. If so, possibly He's guiding you to be the character that overcomes in the great story of your life! Just remember, you are never alone! He is with you always! Let Jesus be your Rock! He is available. Able. And amazingly, all that you need! Here now in this testimony of joyously surviving by His Divine Guidance, Sudie shows us through her torturous trials, the tremendous cost of her faith walk--even carried by Jesus, on His great shoulders through the floodwaters to high ground. Rescued, released, redeemed! "Godspeed!" ("Prosperous journey!") is this author's prayer for you! By our trials and scars we become most assuredly one of His Overcomers! Hallelujah! "Dollars to donuts"--an old-world expression meaning a certainty, a pseudo-betting term. "I'll bet my dollars to your donuts (or buttons, cobwebs--whatever you have of no value) that I'm right!" was one of her mother's favorite sayings--as she was always "right," and everyone else could just go, well, they could just go.

Download or read book Connect written by Dawn Burnett and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wellness strategist Dawn Burnett has an impressive track record for helping people unlock better health and greater vitality. Like all of us, however, she has had a life filled with highs and lows. The child of divorced parents and a survivor of abuse, she was in a toxic marriage and then, just after her divorce, was hit by a drunk driver. These events, and the discovery that her son had a life-threatening condition, led her to a wake-up call. Studying to become an alternative medical practitioner to heal her child, she also sought answers on how to heal her own life. Along the way, she charted a course to ultimate wellness on a path filled with valuable lessons, deep wisdom, and insight on a variety of issues—including personal relationships. She recognized that becoming trapped by the toxic emotions of our past can weigh down our spirit and sabotage any chance we have at happiness today or in the future. The result is Connect, a light but powerful little book that provides humorous yet effective ways to address key issues facing serious relationships. Filled with personal, engaging stories, complemented by captivating illustrations, it reveals: the pitfalls of dating in the digital age; the many ways we unintentionally sabotage our relationships; why we find ourselves choosing mates from the never-ending 'carousel of losers'; and how we judge ourselves—and others—without mercy. The antidote is a simple, empowering plan readers can implement themselves to heal their own hearts, pinpoint their true dreams and desires, and find meaningful and lasting bonds with their partners — whether they have already met or are still looking. This amazing little book is big on success, and will help readers finally attain what they outwardly say they want—without the emotional resistance associated with trying to change their partner.

Download or read book Lose Weight with No Pain written by Sandra Martinez and published by Movads Inc. This book was released on 2010-02-06 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt there is more to weight gain than the equation calories in-calories out? Have you ever felt there was something utterly wrong with some of the things "they say" are good for you, when you put them into practice? Well, if you have, this little book might be a good find. In just 80 pages - packaged as tips for easy reading and no fluff - it deals with most of the myths, truths and issues around weight loss; and sneaks in solutions for sticky problems like "how much water you really need?" or "what is the best moment to eat that chocolate cake you just can't go without?." If you are looking for another diet or exercise plan, this is not for you; it does have some recipes and talks about exercise, but it is not that type of book. It is based on two main ideas: 1. We are not machines, and our emotions play a very important role in our weight journey. 2. Our body is our best friend, even when we don't return the favor. When we shine the light of these ideas on our weight issues, things change. For example: - Emotional eating is not weakness, but a tool some people develop to cope with stressful situations; a tool that can get out of control. - We don't gain weight because of the bad things we eat, but as a consequence of the good things we don't eat. - Killing yourself in the gym or following eating schedules designed by others - people who don't know you at all - ain't gonna help (unless you use them to create your own system). It also deals with difficult subjects like rejection, and beating yourself up about your appearance or your life. In short, this book provides a fresh approach to big issues, and the author handles them with affection and respect.

My Foolish Heart (2012 Christy Award finalist, Contemporary romance category) Unknown to her tiny town of Deep Haven, Isadora Presley spends her nights as Miss Foolish Heart, the star host of a syndicated talk radio show. Millions tune in to hear her advice on dating and falling in love, unaware that she’s never really done either. Issy’s ratings soar when it seems she’s falling in love on-air with a caller. A caller she doesn’t realize lives right next door. Caleb Knight served a tour of duty in Iraq and paid a steep price. The last thing he wants is pity, so he hides his disability and moves to Deep Haven to land his dream job as the high school football coach. When his beautiful neighbor catches his eye, in a moment of desperation he seeks advice from My Foolish Heart, the show that airs before his favorite sports broadcast. Before he knows it, Caleb finds himself drawn to the host—and more confused than ever. Is his perfect love the woman on the radio . . . Or the one next door? The Shadow of Your Smile A beautiful blanket of snow may cover the quaint town of Deep Haven each winter, but it can’t quite hide the wreckage of Noelle and Eli Hueston’s marriage. After twenty-five years, they’re contemplating divorce . . . just as soon as their youngest son graduates from high school. But then an accident erases part of Noelle's memory. Though her other injuries are minor, she doesn’t remember Eli, their children, or the tragedy that has ripped their family apart. What’s more, Noelle is shocked that her life has turned out nothing like she dreamed it would. As she tries to regain her memory and slowly steps into her role as a wife and mother, Eli helps her readjust to daily life with sometimes-hilarious, sometimes-heartwarming results. But can she fall in love again with a man she can’t remember? Will their secrets destroy them . . . or has erasing the past given them a chance for a future? You Don’t Know Me (2013 Christy Award winner! 2013 ACFW Carol Award finalist) To everyone who knows her, Annalise Decker is a model wife and mother. She’s a permanent member of the PTA, never misses her kids’ sporting events, and is constantly campaigning for her husband’s mayoral race. No one knows that Annalise was once Deidre O’Reilly, a troubled young woman whose testimony put a dangerous criminal behind bars. Relocated through the Witness Security Program to the sleepy town of Deep Haven, Deidre got a new identity and a fresh start, which began when she fell in love with local real estate agent Nathan Decker. Twenty years later, Annalise couldn’t be more unprepared for her past to catch up with her. When Agent Frank Harrison arrives with news that the man she testified against is out on bail and out for revenge, Annalise is forced to face the consequences of her secrets. Will she run again, or will she finally find the grace to trust those she loves most with both her past and her future?

Download or read book I Will Not Go the F k to Sleep written by Richard Crasta and published by Invisible Man Press. This book was released on 2011-06-04 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if a child, asked to go the f**k to sleep by its father, could respond in adult language? What if 5000 Indian yogis simultaneously dropped hot coffee on their laps in 5000 McDonalds to balance India's budget? How about selling used nukes to help balance the budget deficit? By the father of 3 boys and one Inner Brat that refuses to go to sleep or to grow up, this broad anthology of humor is his bestselling e-book. "Pythonesque," silly, and sophisticated at the same time, according to reviewers. I WILL NOT GO THE F**K TO SLEEP is an anytime book for adults who refuse to grow up or to go to sleep in this unreal and wacky world of jet-setting yogis, retired nukes, and presidents named Bush. Profane, compassionate, wickedly funny at times, it captures a world and a humor that is fresh, subversive, and often thought-provoking. You probably should not read it to your children under 15; but don’t be surprised if they decide to read it to you. "Hysterical and informative. For the rebel in you. Great style and humor"--Linda J. Lundy, 5-star review This edition restores the ORIGINAL cover which was so popular with readers.

Download or read book J Dilla s Donuts written by Jordan Ferguson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Los Angeles hospital bed, equipped with little more than a laptop and a stack of records, James “J Dilla” Yancey crafted a set of tracks that would forever change the way beatmakers viewed their artform. The songs on Donuts are not hip hop music as “hip hop music” is typically defined; they careen and crash into each other, in one moment noisy and abrasive, gorgeous and heartbreaking the next. The samples and melodies tell the story of a man coming to terms with his declining health, a final love letter to the family and friends he was leaving behind. As a prolific producer with a voracious appetite for the history and mechanics of the music he loved, J Dilla knew the records that went into constructing Donuts inside and out. He could have taken them all and made a much different, more accessible album. If the widely accepted view is that his final work is a record about dying, the question becomes why did he make this record about dying? Drawing from philosophy, critical theory and musicology, as well as Dilla's own musical catalogue, Jordan Ferguson shows that the contradictory, irascible and confrontational music found on Donuts is as much a result of an artist's declining health as it is an example of what scholars call “late style,” placing the album in a musical tradition that stretches back centuries.

Download or read book Cold Flashes written by Michael Engelhard and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the old adage goes, "if you can't say it in a few pages, you won't in a hundred." The selections in Cold Flashes—very short prose and black-and-white photographs—embody perfectly this transparency, thrift, and restraint. Found here are highly polished micro-narratives, both fiction and nonfiction, and a series of eloquent and artistic halftones that capture their sizeable subjects in a nutshell. By minimizing the exposition, the selections stimulate the imagination to reflect on the rich diversity of people and places that make up Alaska. To be savored piecemeal at coffee shops, on the bus, or while waiting in line, the images and text in Cold Flashes will resonate with both the reader and each other, fusing into something profound yet elusive.
