Book excerpt: "In Sex, Drugs Chocolate, Paul Martin looks at changing attitudes to pleasure over the centuries, including religious and legal attempts to control it, together with the biological and psychological drivers behind our hedonistic impulses. He considers sensation-seekers from Nero to Elvis, pleasure's opposites boredom, unhappiness and pain - and chemical pleasures from caffeine and cannabis to alcohol and heroin. He writes about sex in all its many forms, both social and solitary; the mysteries of the orgasm; shopping, eating, gambling and other behavioural pleasures; addiction and the darker side of pleasure's many moons; and finally the modest and undervalued pleasures of everyday life, such as gardening, sleeping and, of course, chocolate."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He becomes funnier the more you read him.' Independent It has always been John Omally's secret ambition to become a rock star. In his youth he mastered air guitar and wardrobe-mirror posing, but he lacked that certain something. Talent. But at last an opportunity has arisen for John to get into 'The Industry'. A band called Gandhi's Hairdryer are looking for a manager, so all John has to do is persuade them that he is the new Brian Epstein. It should be a piece of cake. But - and there's always a but - there is something rather odd about this band. Something other-worldly. It might be the lead singer, whose voice has the power to heal. Might she be an angel, perhaps? Or could she be the Devil in disguise? Because, after all, the Devil does have all the best tunes. And this is Brentford. In this, his final offering of the twentieth century, Robert Rankin returns to the town of his birth, the friends of his youth and one of the loves of his life: Rock Music. 'Everybody should read at least one Robert Rankin in their life.' Daily Express

I have four days left to go. I could get up and walk out the door right now. No one would stop me. But then nothing would change. And everything has to change."Mary-Lou Stephens was lucky to make it into her forties. Therapy and AA helped her recover from her upbringing in an evangelical household; her habit of shoplifting through drama school; her addictions to food, drugs and alcohol; a string of failed love affairs and the break up of several bands. She has landed a dream job as a radio personality. Life is looking good.

For a woman who talks for a living, is rarely still and cooks for comfort, this was never going to be an easy task.Darkly funny and beautifully told, Sex, Drugs and Meditation is a tale for those of us who confuse being busy with being happy; the story of a woman who dared herself to stop talking and start living – and loving.

Download or read book Chocolate as Medicine written by Philip K Wilson and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mesoamerican population who lived near the indigenous cultivation sites of the "Chocolate Tree" (Theobromo cacao) had a multitude of documented applications of chocolate as medicine, ranging from alleviating fatigue to preventing heart ailments to treating snakebite. Until recently, these applications have received little sound scientific scrutiny. Rather, it has been the reputed health claims stemming from Europe and the United States which have attracted considerable biomedical attention. This book, for the first time, describes the centuries-long quest to uncover chocolate's potential health benefits. The authors explore variations in the types of evidence used to support chocolate's use as medicine as well as note the ongoing tension over categorizing chocolate as food or medicine, and more recently, as functional food or nutraceutical. The authors, Wilson an historian of science and medicine, and Hurst an analytical chemist in the chocolate industry, bring their collective insights to bear upon the development of ideas and practices surrounding the use of chocolate as medicine. Chocolate's use in this manner is explored first among the Mesoamerican peoples, then as it is transported to Europe, and back into Colonial North America. The authors then focus upon more recent bioscience experimental undertakings which have been aimed to ascertain both long-standing and novel suggestions as to chocolate's efficacy as a medicinal and a nutritional substance. Chocolate/s reputation as the most craved food boosts this book's appeal to food and biomedical scientists, cacao researchers, ethnobotanists, historians, folklorists, and healers of all types as well as to the general reading audience.

Book excerpt: “A lucid guide to energy psychology that demonstrates techniques and procedures that can bring about remarkably rapid changes in the way people feel and move through the world.” —Bessel van der Kolk, MD, #1 New York Times nonfiction bestselling author of The Body Keeps the Score What if the answer to what’s holding you back was at your very fingertips? That’s exactly the solution presented in Tapping. We all face a range of issues in common areas of life, from worry, depression, and trauma to self-defeating habits, addictions, and relationships. Thankfully, Tapping is an accessible and authoritative new work that offers a vibrant response to the psychological and spiritual trials presented by a world in unprecedented distress. Renowned clinical psychologist Dr. David Feinstein, along with the world’s most sought-after expert on energy medicine, Donna Eden, promise: “Whether the emotional issue at hand is caused by stress or anxiety, physical ailments, aging, the pressures of parenting, work, or staying centered and grounded in this world, we offer a framework and a set of tools to help you show up at your best.” Tapping energy points on the skin while bringing problems and goals to mind changes the brain in ways that help to overcome those challenges and support those aspirations. This stimulating practice places an astonishingly effective tool into your hands, quite literally. Emerging from time-honored healing traditions, the procedure signals your nervous system to reduce fear, anger, stress, and grief while activating brain regions involved with problem-solving and managing emotions—to help you find inner balance and take charge of the internal models that govern your life. As cultural historian Dr. Jean Houston declares in her foreword, this “is a stunning call to action at a time of desperate personal and collective need.” Created for everyday and professional readers alike, here is an unprecedented resource for self-care and personal growth. Through their extensive research and field-tested refinements on this method, Eden and Feinstein combine the scientifically validated effectiveness of tapping with the best practices of psychotherapy, helping you move forward to a healthier and happier life.
