Lose Weight, Have More Energy and Be Happier in 10 Days
by Peter Glickman M.D. Carlos M. GarciaLose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days doesn't sound possible, but most people who have completed the Master Cleanse swear by it.If you are like most people, you want answers to your increasing health problems, but have less money to spend on gyms, expensive weight loss programs and pills. You want a simple and inexpensive way to regain your energy and vitality and you want to avoid becoming the next American death statistic due to obesity, heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure.Our health care system has not been able to reduce obesity, cancer and heart disease even with all the money that has been spent. Perhaps that's because it takes the approach that your doctor or hospital is responsible for your health, not you; prevention is confusing or impossible; and the best cure is the latest pill, shot or surgery. If you want to take charge of your health and are sick and tired of being tired, this book is for you.While no one can guarantee that the Master Cleanse will cure your ills, fasting (and the Master cleanse is a juice fast) has been used to restore and rejuvenate the body and mind for thousands of years across all continents. There are even some scientific studies that show that severely restricted calorie diets produce anti-aging results!The author is uniquely qualified to write this book (the first new book on the Master Cleanse in nearly 30 years). He put up the first Master Cleanse forum on the Internet in 2003, which has grown to more than 33,000 members; has personally done the Master Cleanse more than 18 times from 10 to 28 days; has coached thousands of people on the Master Cleanse; and has been interviewed for NBC's Today Show, CBS National Sunday News, The New York Times, The London Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe and Us Magazine. This book has been translated into Spanish, Russian, Hungarian, Czech, Turkish, Korean and Croatian!Inside this easy-to-read book, you will learn how to get great results and have an easier time on the Master cleanse, such as:What can you do to practice Anti-Aging at home?What can you expect on the Master cleanse?Which days are the roughest?Is the salt water flush essential?What does the cayenne pepper do?What to do when it seems nothing is happening?How does the Master Cleanse affect women?What is the best indication that the cleanse is complete?What are the five detox symptoms and why are they important?What tends to cause headaches on the cleanse?What quantities of the ingredients do you need to buy?Why should the maple syrup be organic?Can you exercise while on the cleanse?What about quitting smoking?The 12 most common pitfalls preventing people from succeedingAnd much moreAlso included is a daily journal, an extensive index and answers to the 112 most frequently asked questions.

Losing Clive to Younger Onset Dementia: One Family's Story
by Helen BeaumontClive Beaumont was diagnosed with Younger Onset Dementia at age 45, when his children were aged just 3 and 4. He had become less and less able to do his job properly and had been made redundant from the Army the year before. Clive's wife, Helen, tells of how she and the rest of the family made it through the next six years until Clive died: the challenge of continually adapting to his progressive deterioration; having to address the legal implications of the illness; applying for benefit payments; finding nursing homes; and juggling her responsibilities as a wife, a mother and an employee. She also describes the successful founding and development of The Clive Project, a registered charity set up by Helen and others in a bid to establish support services for people with Younger Onset Dementia. Younger Onset Dementia is comparatively rare, but not that rare. This story is for the family and friends of people with the condition, for the people themselves, and for the professionals working with them.
Losing Music: A Memoir
by John Cotter“In his moving memoir, John Cotter anticipates a world without sound . . . a compelling portrait of how deafness isolates people.” —The Washington PostJohn Cotter was thirty years old when he first began to notice a ringing in his ears. Soon the ringing became a roar inside his head. Next came partial deafness, then dizziness and vertigo that rendered him unable to walk, work, sleep, or even communicate. At a stage of life when he expected to be emerging fully into adulthood, teaching and writing books, he found himself “crippled and dependent,” and in search of care.When he is first told that his debilitating condition is likely Ménière’s Disease, but that there is “no reliable test, no reliable treatment, and no consensus on its cause,” Cotter quits teaching, stops writing, and commences upon a series of visits to doctors and treatment centers. What begins as an expedition across the country navigating and battling the limits of the American healthcare system, quickly becomes something else entirely: a journey through hopelessness and adaptation to disability. Along the way, hearing aids become inseparable from his sense of self, as does a growing understanding that the possibilities in his life are narrowing rather than expanding. And with this understanding of his own travails comes reflection on age-old questions around fate, coincidence, and making meaning of inexplicable misfortune.A devastating memoir that sheds urgent, bracingly honest light on both the taboos surrounding disability and the limits of medical science, Losing Music is refreshingly vulnerable and singularly illuminating—a story that will make readers see their own lives anew.

Losing Ourselves: Learning to Live without a Self
by Jay L. GarfieldWhy you don’t have a self—and why that’s a good thingIn Losing Ourselves, Jay Garfield, a leading expert on Buddhist philosophy, offers a brief and radically clear account of an idea that at first might seem frightening but that promises to liberate us and improve our lives, our relationships, and the world. Drawing on Indian and East Asian Buddhism, Daoism, Western philosophy, and cognitive neuroscience, Garfield shows why it is perfectly natural to think you have a self—and why it actually makes no sense at all and is even dangerous. Most importantly, he explains why shedding the illusion that you have a self can make you a better person.Examining a wide range of arguments for and against the existence of the self, Losing Ourselves makes the case that there are not only good philosophical and scientific reasons to deny the reality of the self, but that we can lead healthier social and moral lives if we understand that we are selfless persons. The book describes why the Buddhist idea of no-self is so powerful and why it has immense practical benefits, helping us to abandon egoism, act more morally and ethically, be more spontaneous, perform more expertly, and navigate ordinary life more skillfully. Getting over the self-illusion also means escaping the isolation of self-identity and becoming a person who participates with others in the shared enterprise of life.The result is a transformative book about why we have nothing to lose—and everything to gain—by losing our selves.
