Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.
In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and a man who can make data sing, Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens, and reveals the ten instincts that distort our perspective. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.
Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world.
Combine the surprising truth about brain food with the cutting-edge science of brain metabolism to achieve extraordinary improvements to your emotional, cognitive, and physical health.
Are you struggling with attention problems, mood swings, food obsession, or depression? Whatever the issue, you have far more control over your thoughts, feelings, and behavior than you realize. Although medications may bring some relief, in Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, Dr. Georgia Ede reveals that the most powerful way to change brain chemistry is with food, because that’s where brain chemicals come from in the first place.
In this provocative, illuminating guide, Dr. Ede explains why nearly everything we think we know about brain-healthy diets is wrong. We've been told the way to protect our brains is with superfoods, supplements, and plant-based diets rich in whole grains and legumes, but the science tells a different story: not only do these strategies often fail, but some can even work against us. The truth about brain food is that meat is not dangerous, vegan diets are not healthier, and antioxidants are not the answer.
Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind will empower you to:
- understand how unscientific research methods drive fickle nutrition headlines and illogical dietary guidelines
- weigh the risks and benefits of your favorite foods so you can make your own informed choices about what to eat
- evaluate yourself for signs of insulin resistance—the silent metabolic disease that robs your brain of the energy it needs to thrive
- improve your mental health with a choice of moderate-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets that you can personalize to your food preferences and health goals
Drawing on a wide range of scientific disciplines including biochemistry, neuroscience, and botany, Dr. Ede will ignite your curiosity about the fascinating world of food and its role in nourishing, protecting, and energizing your brain.
There is one point that contemporary psychology and centuries old
Eastern Buddhist and Taoist teachings agree on: if you wish to
experience less suffering, you must change the way you see yourself.
But what if the change that is needed is to let go of our selves
entirely? What does this mean for those of us living in an increasingly
self-obsessed and individualistic society? Is our quest for identity
actually sabotaging our own wellbeing?
In this compassionate and galvanizing book, Dr Tom Davies gently
invites you to consider the basic elements that define who you are.
• In Part One, get to know your self. From the ground up, discover what
the self truly is, how it links to identity, and how self-obsession is
central to the human condition and the psychological pain that each of
us experience.
• In Part Two, overcome self-obsession. Free yourself from your
psychological prison, and learn how to live the peaceful and joyful
life that you deserve.
With a fresh and lucid style, Dr Tom Davies combines his knowledge of
the medical, psychological and the philosophical to bring you real
solutions to life’s most challenging problems. Whether you are
searching for meaning, or are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief or
depression, this perspective will provide you with an empowering new
insight that can help you transform your life.
