INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In "one of the most important athlete memoirs of its generation" (Kate Fagan, #1 New…
York Times bestselling author), Olympian Kara Goucher reveals her experience of living through and speaking out about one of the biggest scandals in running. Kara Goucher grew up with Olympic dreams. She excelled at running from a young age and was offered a Nike sponsorship deal when she graduated from college. Then in 2004, she was invited to join a secretive, lavishly funded new team, dubbed the Nike Oregon Project. Coached by distance running legend Alberto Salazar, it seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime. Kara was soon winning a World Championship medal, going to the Olympics, and standing on the podium at the New York and Boston marathons, just like her coach had done. But behind the scenes, Salazar was hiding dark secrets. He pushed the limits of anti-doping rules and created what Kara experienced as a culture of abuse, the extent of which she reveals in her book for the first time. Meanwhile, Nike stood by Alberto for years and proved itself capable of shockingly misogynistic corporate practices. The Longest Race is an unforgettable story that is "as interesting as it is important" (Molly Huddle, two-time Olympian) and also a crucial call to action. Kara became a crusader for female athletes and a key witness helping to get Salazar banned from coaching at the Olympic level. The Longest Race will leave you "motivated, empowered, and ready to take on the world" (Allyson Felix, Olympic gold medalist) as it reveals how Kara broke through the fear of losing everything, bucked powerful forces to take control of her life and career, and reclaimed her love of runningStash: My life in hiding

"An emotionally absorbing and swiftly paced multisensory experience." — The New York Times Book Review Named a Best Memoir of…
2023 by Elle In the vein of Somebody's Daughter , this wild, vivid addiction memoir from the host of the podcast The Only One in the Room "will inspire, awe, entertain, educate, and help so many readers" (Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author) with a journey to sobriety and self-love amidst privilege and racism. After years of hiding her addiction from everyone—stockpiling pills in her Louboutins and elaborately scheduling her withdrawals between PTA meetings, baby showers, and tennis matches—Laura Cathcart Robbins is running out of places to hide. She has learned the hard way that even her high-profile marriage and Hollywood lifestyle can't protect her from the pain she's keeping bottled up inside. Facing divorce, the possibility of a grueling custody battle, and the insistent voice of internalized racism that nags at her as a Black woman in a startlingly white world, Laura wonders just how much more she can take. Now, with courageous and candid openness, she reveals how she started the long journey towards sobriety, unexpectedly found new love, and dismantled the wall she had built around herself, brick by brick. With its raw, finely crafted, and engaging prose, Stash is "emotionally riveting...usher[ing] in a new way for us to talk and read about the paradoxes of addiction, race, family, class, and gender."

"In his bestselling books, |The Plant Paradox| and |The Longevity Paradox|, Dr. Steven R. Gundry offered game-changing perspectives on our…
wellbeing. In |The Energy Paradox|, Dr. Gundry expands upon his previous discussions of gut, microbiome, and mitochondrial health, linking immune malfunction to the mental and physical symptoms of fatigue-including exhaustion, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and low metabolism. As Dr. Gundry explains, feeling tired, moody, and zapped of energy is not normal, no matter your workload or age. Fatigue is an SOS flare from the body, one that is intended to alert us that something is wrong. In his clinical work, Dr. Gundry has found that his patients who complain of feeling sick and tired all the time almost always have something in common: the inflammation markers of a leaky gut. In |The Energy Paradox|, Dr. Gundry will offer readers the information and tools necessary to quiet the autoimmune battle raging within-a battle that depletes precious energy reserves, leaving you drained and prone to mood disorders and weight gain. With new guidelines on how to increase mitochondrial energy production and nourish the microbiome; 30 new Plant Paradox-approved recipes; and lists of energy-boosting foods to consume and energy-depleting foods to avoid, |The Energy Paradox| will help readers take back their lives, giving them the energy they need to feel, look, and be their best." -- Provided by publisherCrochet cute critters: 26 easy amigurumi patterns

the same —featuring a conversation between the author and Lauren Von Der Pool, "...one of the people who has played an important part in my journey," and original music transitions created for the audiobook by Common (vocals), Burniss Earl Travis II (electric and upright bass), Marcus Strickland (sax), James Francies (Fender Rhodes, piano, synthesizers, vibraphone) and Marcus Gilmore (drums). Common has achieved success in many facets of his life and career, from music to acting to writing. But for a long time, he didn't feel that he had found fulfillment in his body and spirit. And Then We Rise is about Common's journey to wellness as a vital element of his success. A testimony to the benefits of self-care, this book is composed of four different sections, each with its own important lessons: "The Food" focuses on nutrition. "The Body" focuses on fitness. "The Mind" focuses on mental health. And "The Soul" focuses on perhaps the most profound thing of all—spiritual well-being. Common's personal stories act as the backbone of his book, but he also wants to give his readers the gift of professional expertise. Here, he acts as the liaison to his own nutritionist and chef, his own physical trainer, and his own therapist, as well as to those who act as his spiritual influences. Wise, accessible, and powerful, And Then We Rise offers a comprehensive, holistic approach to wellness that will allow readers to transform their thinking, their actions, and, ultimately, their lives.

This book examines the contemporary one-size-fits-all model of treatment for sexual offenders and challenges the confrontational approach to working with…
this group. In recent years, the incidence of people (predominantly men) getting arrested for inappropriate online usage has increased exponentially. This book attempts to understand why this is the case and what can be done to help these individuals and, in turn, reduce the risk of them re-offending. A stand-alone follow-up text from Hudson-Allez’s popular Infant Losses, Adult Searches, this book carries forward the compelling case study of Gordon from the previous text. Throughout his journey from arrest to rehabilitation, the chapters provide insight into the relationship between internet offending and dysfunctional attachments and neurodiversity. Our current understandings of childhood trauma, transgenerational transmission, and diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder and ADHD are all investigated in relation to cases of online offenders and practical therapeutic models are presented. This book is relevant to psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors and therapists working with forensic clients, and probation officers, social workers and police officers working within child-protection agencies.Lo que tu corazón espera de ti: Descubre los 4 pilares para vivir en plena forma con una salud de hierro
Par Dr José Abellán. 2023
Un enfoque integrativo de la salud, con el corazón en el centro, para prevenir las enfermedades y mejorar nuestra calidad…
de vida. El principal motivo por el que enfermamos en la actualidad es que nuestro estilo de vida contradice lo que el cuerpo y el corazón esperan de nosotros: pasamos largas horas sentados, comemos alimentos procesados, sufrimos estrés, ansiedad, insomnio..., vivimos desconectados de nuestra naturaleza y de nuestro entorno. Esta es la raíz de muchas enfermedades, en especial las cardiovasculares, que, según la OMS, están detrás de una de cada tres muertes en el mundo y representan la mayor amenaza para nuestra salud. Y los números no paran de empeorar. En este libro, el cardiólogo José Abellán explica de manera clara y directa la importancia de cuidar la salud de nuestro corazón para evitar enfermedades y tener una vida sana, larga y activa. Con un enfoque centrado en la prevención y la incorporación de hábitos saludables, el autor profundiza en los cuatro pilares de la salud cardiovascular: * No comas, aliméntate* Muévete* Sincronízate con los ritmos del planeta y descansa* Conecta con los demás y con la naturaleza Con Lo que tu corazón espera de ti entenderás, por fin, qué necesita tu cuerpo para estar sano y aprenderás a adecuar tu estilo de vida para gozar de una salud óptima.Toma el control de la situación. Si aprendes a prevenir, no tendrán que curarte. Los expertos opinan:«José ha escrito un libro maravilloso. Lo que tu corazón espera de ti encierra mucho: por qué se produce la enfermedad y, a partir de ahí, cómo debemos alimentarnos, cómo debemos entrenar, cómo debemos sincronizarnos con el planeta y cómo debemos cuidarnos a nosotros y cuidar a los demás. Sácale jugo, aprende y disfrútalo». JORDI CRUZ, chef seis estrellas Michelin «El doctor Abellán defiende la alimentación y su poder antiinflamatorio como base para la prevención de enfermedades; en su libro desmiente de forma sencilla los principales mitos de la alimentación y su efecto en la salud cardiovascular».BLANCA GARCÍA-OREA, nutricionista, autora de Dime qué comes y te diré qué bacterias tienes «El doctor Abellán consigue transmitir los fundamentos que explican por qué el ejercicio físico y la alimentación son vitales para la salud de tu corazón. Además, explica otros factores relevantes en la salud cardiovascular, como, por ejemplo, la conexión social o el estrés. Un libro asequible y claro para mejorar tu salud plena».ISMAEL GALANCHO, nutricionista, autor de Quema tu dieta«En este libro, el doctor Abellán transmite, con un lenguaje muy sencillo y directo, lo importante que es para el corazón sincronizar tus relojes internos con los ciclos del planeta. Con su lectura aprenderás que la salud se trabaja y se gana día a día, y entenderás por qué descansar adecuadamente es uno de los pilares de una vida sana».JUAN ANTONIO MADRID, investigador experto en cronobiología, autor de Cronobiología. Una guía para descubrir tu reloj biológico «En esta época de confrontación, el doctor Abellán muestra de manera muy clara la importancia de cuidarnos, mimar nuestras relaciones con los demás y huir del estrés crónico para gozar de buena salud. Lo que tu corazón espera de ti es, en cierto modo, una delicada manera de tomar consciencia».Coronel PEDRO BAÑOS, especialista en geoestrategia y defensa, autor de Así se domina el mundoSkill in Work and Play (Routledge Revivals)

Par Fady Hannah-Shmouni. 2023
This book is composed of 13 informative chapters written by world-renowned healthcare providers and researchers in the fields of endocrinology,…
pharmacy, radiology, infertility, pediatrics, internal medicine, psychology and genetics. From topics covering psychosocial impacts to pharmacokinetic and homecare resources, the intent of this book is to provide guiding principles for a safe and informative transition of care for pediatric and adolescent patients with various familial endocrine cancer syndromes that are transitioning from pediatric to adult health care. It provides an in-depth exploration of the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, survivorship navigation intervention, patient, caregiver and primary care provider challenges, and multidisciplinary care plans for conditions such as MEN1, MEN2 and other familial and genetic endocrine neoplasias.Familial Endocrine Cancer Syndromes: Navigating the Transition of Care for Pediatric and Adolescent Patients is a much-needed resource, as the literature currently lacks a comprehensive publication to facilitate pediatric patients’ transition to adult clinics and resources following endocrine cancer diagnosis and treatment.
