Описание: MAKE A VOW TO GOOD HEALTH How much time each year do you spend interacting with a doctor? A vast majority of people spend less than 1 percent of their time in clinical interactions. While clinical care is certainly vital, it affects only 30 percent of our overall health status. So, why not do better acknowledging the drivers of the other 70 percent of total health and well-being where we spend 99 percent of our time? We deserve a healthcare system that systematically supports our daily living needs to complement clinical care. Not Just in Sickness ... But Also in Health details how we can create the next generation of benefit plans, including an intelligent ecosystem of personalized resources, capable of supporting how each person can achieve and sustain their optimal health. Drawing on his decades of experience, Margolis explains how existing healthcare industry players, technology companies, and government can enact a systematic consumer-centric approach to move the United States and the world from a system of sickcare to one of health optimization for all.

Описание: A leading voice in public health policy and top environmental medicine scientist reveals the alarming truth about how hormone-disrupting chemicals are affecting our daily lives--and what we can do to protect ourselves and fight back. Lurking in our homes, hiding in our offices, and polluting the air we breathe is something sinister. Something we've turned a blind eye to for far too long. Dr. Leonardo Trasande, a pediatrician, professor, and world-renowned researcher, tells the story of how our everyday surroundings are making us sicker, fatter, and poorer. Dr. Trasande exposes the chemicals that disrupt our hormonal systems and damage our health in irreparable ways. He shows us where these chemicals hide--in our homes, our schools, at work, in our food, and countless other places we can't control--as well as the workings of policy that protects the continued use of these chemicals in our lives. Drawing on extensive research and expertise, he outlines dramatic studies and emerging evidence about the rapid increases in neurodevelopmental, metabolic, reproductive, and immunological diseases directly related to the hundreds of thousands of chemicals that we are exposed to every day. Unfortunately, nowhere is safe. But, thanks to Dr. Trasande's work on the topic, and his commitment to effecting change, this book can help. Through a blend of narrative, scientific detective work, and concrete information about the connections between chemicals and disease, he shows us what we can do to protect ourselves and our families in the short-term, and how we can help bring the change we deserve.

Описание: Teenage Nia should be living her life preparing for her future, dating, and getting into trouble. Instead of the normal teenage experience most girls glorify, Nia is robbed of that when her life is shaken up, twisted, and what most would see as ruined. Nia's father is in prison with his brother for a crime they committed together, leaving Nia to be raised by her mother Jasmine and stepfather, Roger. Initially, Nia believes her stepfather is loving, caring, and she instantly becomes a "daddy's girl" from the way he treats her.After an accident gone wrong and possibly the wrong prescription, the side effects of Roger's trauma are now forced onto Nia in more ways than one. With a monster now living in her home, she has no one to turn to. Her brother Alex will soon leave for college, and she'll be left alone with the shell that was once a loving man, now turned stranger. Nia's mother is none the wiser to the abuse and misfortune that has befallen her daughter, and she may never find out unless Nia is willing to take a stand and speak out.If Nia keeps quiet, she may have more to worry about than the average girl would, but if she voices her problems, she could lose everything and everyone around her. Nia's only hope, is her freedom of speech, but will she learn to use it before it's too late or will all be lost for smart and sweet Nia?

Описание: ADDICTION: CUNNING, BAFFLING, & POWERFUL In this gripping debut novel by Andrew Seaward, the lives of three addicts converge following an accidental and horrific death. Monty Miller, a self-destructive, codependent alcoholic, is wracked by an obsession to drink himself to death as punishment for a fatal car accident he didn't cause. Dave Bell, a former all-American track star turned washed-up high school volleyball coach, routinely chauffeurs his bus full of teens on a belly full of liquor and head full of crack. Angie Mallard, a recently divorced housewife with three estranged children, will go to any lengths to restore the family she lost to crystal meth. All three are court-mandated to a secluded drug rehab high in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. There, they learn the universal truth among alcoholics and addicts: Though they may all be sick...SOME ARE SICKER THAN OTHERS. Based on the author's own personal experience with substance abuse and twelve-step programs, Some Are Sicker Than Others, transcends the clich s of the typical recovery story by exploring the insidiousness of addiction and the harrowing effect it has on not just the afflicted, but everyone it touches. With the harsh realism of Brett Easton Ellis and the dark, confrontational humor of Chuck Palahniuk, Mr. Seaward takes the reader deep inside the psyche of the addict and portrays, in very explicit details, the psychological and physiological effects of withdrawal and the various stages of recovery.

Описание: An all-new collection of honest, hilarious, and enlightening conversations with some of the most exciting names in comedy--from New York Times bestselling author and lifelong comedy nerd Judd Apatow."When I need to read an interview with a comedian while in the bathroom, I always turn to Judd Apatow for deeply personal insights into the comedic mind. Place one on your toilet today."--Amy Schumer No one knows comedy like Judd Apatow. From interviewing the biggest comics of the day for his high school radio show to performing stand-up in L.A. dive bars with his roommate Adam Sandler, to writing and directing Knocked Up and producing Freaks and Geeks, Apatow has always lived, breathed, and dreamed comedy. In this all-new collection of interviews, the follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Sick in the Head, Apatow sits down with comedy legends such as David Letterman, Whoopi Goldberg, and Will Ferrell, as well as the writers and performers who are pushing comedy to the limits, and defining a new era of laughter: John Mulaney, Hannah Gadsby, Bowen Yang, Amber Ruffin, Pete Davidson, and others. In intimate and hilariously honest conversations, they discuss what got them into comedy, and what--despite personal and national traumas--keeps them going. Together, they talk about staying up too late to watch late-night comedy, what kind of nerds they were high school, and the right amount of delusional self-confidence one needs to "make it" in the industry. Like eavesdropping on lifelong friends, these pages expose the existential questions that plague even the funniest and most talented among us: Why make people laugh while the world is in crisis? What ugly, uncomfortable truths about our society--and ourselves--can comedy reveal? Along the way, these comics reminisce about those who helped them on their journey--from early success through failure and rejection, and back again--even as they look ahead to the future of comedy and Hollywood in a hyper-connected, overstimulated world. With his trademark insight, curiosity, and irrepressible sense of humor, Apatow explores the nature of creativity, professional ambition, and vulnerability in an ever-evolving cultural landscape, and how our favorite comics are able to keep us laughing along the way.
