This Is Your Body on Trauma is the first book to teach readers how to use nutrition to heal underlying trauma that presents in physical symptoms. It features a unique do-it-yourself approach, allowing people to completely customize their care plan.Trauma is pervasive, and recovery usually involves extensive talk therapy. What is often overlooked is using nutrition as a way to restore a sense of safety and self-trust. Research shows between 75 and 90 percent of physician visits are due to the wear and tear on the body from stress hormones. The gut is often our first indicator that something is awry; it is the watchtower raising the alarm, and the existence of trauma can create a negative feedback loop with the brain that leads to several quite common gut-brain axis complaints, such as anxiety, depression, IBS, and pain. More than “just” a nutrition book, This Is Your Body on Trauma helps people make connections between what is going on in their mind and body with a unique 360-degree integrative approach to mental health. Using a unique, customizable approach, readers are given a series of experiments based on recommendations, formulating their needs and providing actionable solutions to lessen the perception of stress with nutrition. This book will help people who have experienced traumatic events as both a child and an adult, those who experience chronic stress, as well as people who have experienced food trauma heal and manage the physiological impacts of that trauma throughout their lives. The experiments provided in the book can be done in collaboration with a therapy or nutrition provider. This book is the only one that discusses not only nutrition for trauma (what to eat), but also applies it in a trauma-informed way (how to eat to avoid triggers).

From the author of The Changing Mind and The Organized Mind comes The New York Times bestseller which unravels the mystery of our perennial love affair with music***** What do the music of Bach, Depeche Mode and John Cage fundamentally have in common? Music is an obsession at the heart of human nature, even more fundamental to our species than language. From Mozart to the Beatles, neuroscientist, psychologist and internationally-bestselling author Daniel Levitin reveals the role of music in human evolution, shows how our musical preferences begin to form even before we are born and explains why music can offer such an emotional experience.In This Is Your Brain On Music Levitin offers nothing less than a new way to understand music, and what it can teach us about ourselves. ***** Music seems to have an almost wilful, evasive quality, defying simple explanation, so that the more we find out, the more there is to know . . . Daniel Levitin s book is an eloquent and poetic exploration of this paradox Sting You ll never hear music in the same way again Classic FM magazine Music, Levitin argues, is not a decadent modern diversion but something of fundamental importance to the history of human development Literary Review

Internationally renowned and bestselling author Donna Farhi moves yoga practice beyond the mat into our everyday lives, restoring the tradition s intended function as a complete, practical philosophy for daily living. Expanding upon the teachings of Patanjali s Yoga Sutras, the core text of the yoga tradition, Donna Farhi describes yoga s transforming power as a complete life practice, far beyond its common reduction to mere exercise routine or stress management.

Drawing upon her years of teaching with students, Farhi guides readers through all the pitfalls and promises of navigating a spiritual practice. Farhi s engaging and accessible style and broad experience offer important teachings for newcomers and seasoned practitioners of yoga alike.

His goal in publishing the book was to show readers the value of principle-based thinking so that they could develop their own principles, aligned with their own values, for getting whatever they wanted out of life.With this new journal, Dalio takes his goal one step further to help readers reflect on and record their own principles. He does that by providing a series of guided exercises and questions for reflecting on what you re like, what you value, and what principles will best help you achieve your goals. These exercises draw from key concepts in the original Principles book, including:1. How to identify your strengths, weaknesses, motivations and preferences2. How to use the five-step process to achieve your goals3. How to become both assertive and open-minded at the same time 4. How to maximise your learning from your mistakes (which are inevitable)All of these exercises can optionally be enhanced using the free Principles in Action iOS and Android app, which provides an even more interactive, multimedia experience, and they are followed by a number of blank journal pages containing thought-provoking and unconventional prompts from Principles aimed at helping you formulate your own principles. The experience concludes with a structured reflection on where you and your loved ones are along life s journey, leaving you with a highly personalised, practical playbook for achieving success in the years ahead.

Impassioned, witty and polemical, At Your Own Risk is Derek Jarman s defiant celebration of gay sexuality.In At Your Own Risk, Derek Jarman weaves poetry, prose, photographs and newspaper extracts into a rich tapestry of gay experience in the UK. The buttoned-up repression of the fifties and sixties makes way for liberation and free love in the seventies, only to be chased by the terror and pain of HIV/AIDS. This is Jarman at his passionate best, written when he was already ill with HIV and in the midst of the moral panic surrounding the AIDS crisis. Defiant and furious, he not only celebrates his own sexuality but skewers wider society for its brazen homophobia. Reissued here 25 years after Jarman s death, with an introduction by Straight Jacket author Matthew Todd, At Your Own Risk remains a singular work. It is a powerful reminder of how far we have come and how much further we have left to go. It blew my mind quite honestly ! , It s A Sin star Olly Alexander via Twitter

If it’s not working change it . . . one backyard at a time. Visionary placemaker Steve Nygren chronicles the rise of Serenbe, a pioneering model in biophilic living outside Atlanta, and charts a path for others wishing to challenge the status quo, embrace optimism, and reinvent their communities—and themselves.For many Americans, life is no longer working. We are increasingly sick, stressed, anxious, and unhappy. Many feel left behind by the economy, disillusioned by once-respected institutions, and helpless in the face of environmental decline. Steve Nygren argues that much of this can be traced to where—and how—we live. By rethinking and reinvesting in our own communities, we can rediscover the joy of connected, meaningful lives for ourselves and future generations. Start in Your Own Backyard provides a blueprint for developing sustainable communities where citizens of all generations can thrive, and awe is found in everyday moments, which requires understanding: The unintended consequences of sprawl, and why clustered development supports more green space, more housing, and lower costs Why being disconnected from nature and each other is at the root of many environmental, societal, and health-related woes Tactics to encourage a local food-based economy (and why that matters) How small yards, front porches, and blueberry bushes at crosswalks lead to strong, supportive neighborhoods The benefits of aging in place, and how to nurture connections between uncaged elders and free-range kids Whether you’re a placemaker, developer, civic leader, business owner, or parent or grandparent wishing to improve the things that complicate your life, this book is for you. It educates and inspires, demonstrates the impact of local action, and sparks hope that one person can change the world in amazing ways by starting in your own backyard.
