  • The Conscious Mind In Search of a Fundamental Theory (Philosophy of Mind)

    03
    What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind and to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate, aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning?

    David J. Chalmers unveils a major new theory of consciousness, one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science, while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind and brain. Writing in a thought-provoking style, Chalmers proposes that conscious experience must be understood as an irreducible entity similar to such physical properties as time, mass, and space that exists at a fundamental level and cannot be understood as the sum of its parts. Engaging and penetrating, this book adds a fresh new perspective to the subject that is sure to spark debate about our understanding of the mind for years to come.

  • Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

    08

    Heal painful joints, prevent injuries, and rebuild your body from the ground up.
    (If mainstream fitness advice has left you broken down and beat up, it’s time for a new strategy.)

    Most middle-aged fitness enthusiasts and athletes have been dragged down by joint pain, injuries, and other ailments commonly accepted as “part of getting older.”

    But it doesn’t have to be this way.

    In fact, anyone can conquer joint pain and rebuild their body.
    It simply requires understanding the hidden causes and a road map (this book) that leads to the solution.

    Built from Broken presents a paradigm shift in how to think about corrective exercise, sports nutrition, and joint health.
    Once you see how the system works, you’ll never look at exercise or joint health the same way again.

    Part 1 lays the foundation for understanding why your joints are breaking down.
    You’ll learn:

    • The 5 primary causes of joint pain.

    • How to prevent the “Big 3” injuries that trap you in the Pain/Injury Cycle.

    • Why conventional pain management merely masks symptoms (and 3 natural pain relief techniques that actually work).

    • How to identify and fix muscle imbalances that lead to tension, pain, and injuries.

    • Natural injury recovery strategies that improve healing time and tissue repair quality.

    Part 2 gives you a step-by-step corrective exercise guide and list of action steps to rebuild your body from the ground up.
    Including:

    • The ideal training schedule to maximize muscle recovery and connective tissue repair (in as little as 2 days per week, at any age).

    • Illustrated corrective exercise instructions (with several home workout options).

    • How to strengthen joints with cutting-edge connective tissue training techniques.

    • A step-by-step training program complete with workout routines.

    Whether you have been training for a few years, a few decades, or have never stepped foot in a weight room, it’s not too late to overhaul your body.

    If the conventional path of lifting and stretching has left you broken down, why not try a new strategy?

    This book is your way out of the pain/injury cycle.

    All you have to do is follow three simple steps.

    1. Read the book.

    2. Follow the action steps inside to resolve your pain.

    3. Implement the 4-week corrective training program outlined in the book.

    Just imagine, in 4-8 weeks from now, you could be in a pain-free, mobile, strong, and functional body.

    One that allows you to do the activities you love, push the limits of your capabilities, and achieve your true physical potential.

    This process can start for you right now.

  • How to Not Die Alone: The Surprising Science That Will Help You Find Love

    08

    ‘A definitive guide for a generation navigating the murky waters of modern love’ Esther Perel

    A funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

    Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives – they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including who to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

    Drawing from years of research, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how.

    This book focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and real-life stories. You’ll learn:

    – What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern)
    – What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t)
    – How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you)
    – How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love)
    – How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews)
    – Why “the spark” is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway)

    This data-driven, step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

The book is organized in a way that provides information for all patients with CKD in the first part of the book and has information in later chapters for patients whose CKD has progressed.

  • The MindBody Workbook: a thirty day program of insight and understanding for people with back pain and other disorders

    02
    This Workbook offers the reader a thirty-day structured journal to identify and express psychological issues that may be causing back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, tension headaches, TMJ, and other disorders. The author, Dr. David Schechter, a former student of Dr. John Sarno, has developed a Workbook that guides the reader through a process of insight and awareness to harness the mindbody connection.

    From the Author: I’ve been fascinated by the mindbody connection since before medical school. The seminal event of my medical education in this regard was my own cure from chronic, unexplained knee pain with the guidance of John Sarno, MD from NYU’s Rusk Institute. After this personal success, I performed a follow-up study of his patients, under his auspices and determined that this approach proved successful in a remarkably high 77% of chronic back sufferers.

    As my career has progressed, I’ve developed my own program of treatment that includes an office consultation and educational materials on this subject for my patients. This Workbook is a resource for people suffering from mindbody disorders that I may not personally be able to treat. With the help of a local physician to exclude more serious disease, they should be able to benefit greatly from the thirty-day structured journal approach, on their own, as my own patients do in my office. This Workbook has been used successfully by over 30,000 individuals as of 2022 and in published research studies. Author note:

    If you order the ebook, be prepared to answer the questions in a notebook, computer or tablet, or by voice recording. Research has shown the effectiveness of journaling is based upon your doing something with the answers (writing, recording), not just thinking about the answers.

    While the process of journaling can be challenging, the rewards are great and it is a still you can come back to, in the future, when needed to process other emotional challenges.

    You can utilize this Workbook before or after the newer MindBody Workbook Volume Two published in 2023.

  • Rebound: Train Your Mind to Bounce Back Stronger from Sports Injuries

    02

    Written by a leading mental skills coach and contributing editor to Runner’s World (US), this is a practical guide to building the psychological resilience that athletes need to recover from injury and rebound stronger.

    Injuries affect every athlete, from the elite Olympian to the weekend racer. In the moment, a traumatic crash, a torn muscle, or a stress fracture can feel like the most devastating event possible. While some athletes are destroyed by the experience, others emerge from their recovery better, stronger, and more confident than ever.

    The key to a swifter, stronger comeback is the use of mental skills: psychological tools that enable an athlete to take control of their recovery and ultimately use the experience to their advantage. Injury and other setbacks are inevitable – but with training, overcoming them skillfully and confidently is possible.

    This book will provide a clear, compelling explanation of psychological recovery from injury and a practical guide to building mental resilience. Weaving together personal narratives from star athletes, scientific research, and the specialized clinical expertise of mental skills coach Carrie Jackson Cheadle, it will contain more than 45 Mental Skills and Drills that athletes can use at every phase of their recovery process. These same strategies can help athletes who aren’t currently injured reduce their vulnerability to injury, and enable any individual to reach new heights within their sport and beyond.

  • The Autistic Brain: understanding the autistic brain by one of the most accomplished and well-known adults with autism in the world

    08

    Want to read just one book about autism? Read this. Written by Temple Grandin, one of the world’s most accomplished and well-known adults with autism, this thought-provoking, insightful and inspirational book – with illustrative diagrams and key points pulled out for emphasis – will assist not only fellow autistics and families with affected members, but also researchers and physicians seeking to better understand the condition.

    ‘An extraordinary source of inspiration for autistic children, their parents – and all people’ — Time
    ‘The Autistic Brain can both enlighten readers with little exposure to autism and offer hope and compassion to those who live with the condition’ — Scientific American
    ‘Grandin has helped us understand autism not just as a phenomenon, but as a different but coherent mode of existence that otherwise confounds us…’ — New York Times
    ‘Enjoyable, insightful read’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘This book is a delight from start to finish’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘Superb, readable book’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘Great book. Very insightful and easy to follow’ — ***** Reader review

    ********************************************************************************************
    It’s estimated that one in almost a hundred people are diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum but there is far more hope for them today than ever before thanks to ground-breaking new research.

    In this fascinating and highly readable book, Temple Grandin offers her own experience as an autistic person alongside remarkable new discoveries about the autistic brain, as well as genetic research.
    She highlights long-ignored sensory problems as well as the need to treat autism symptom by symptom, rather than with an umbrella diagnosis. Most exciting of all, she argues that raising and educating children on the autistic spectrum needs to be less about focusing on their weaknesses, and more about fostering their unique contributions.

    Written in a clear, concise and accessible way, with illustrative diagrams and key points pulled out for emphasis, this is an all-encompassing guide that will change the perception of autism.

  • ABG Interpretation for Nurses: Everything You Need To Know To Interpret Arterial Blood Gases (Resources for RNs & RRTs)

    02

    Great Resource for Nurses, MDs, and RRTs:

    Arterial blood gases (or ABGs) are some of the more difficult lab tests to understand in all of medicine. Sure, there are normal results given along with the test values, but it doesn’t end there. What does a certain pH in the blood mean? Where does the bicarbonate level come from? These components, along with other values, need to be understood so you can interpret them.

    Basically, the ABGs are a test of the arterial blood that check the oxygen levels, the carbon dioxide levels, the acidity (or pH) of the blood, the oxyhemoglobin saturation, and the bicarbonate. If you have a fancy blood gas analyzer, you can get a methemoglobin level, a carboxyhemoglobin level, and sometimes just a hemoglobin level. Each of these lab tests reveal crucial values that are important in caring for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and other hospital settings. If you do not know what oxyhemoglobin saturation means (or any of these values), never fear! By the time you finish this guide, you will be an old pro!

    In this book, you will learn:

    • The Science of Arterial Blood Gases
    • pH, Buffers, and the Kidneys
    • Normal ABG Values
    • Simple Acid-Base Disorders
    • Deep dive into understanding ABGs in the Clinical Sense
    • ABG Collection and Sources of Error
