Wouldn't you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual
for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver
innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing
exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental
health.
For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much
progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart
disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often,
it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at
the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we
must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive
strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than
waiting.
This is not "biohacking," it's science: a well-founded strategic and
tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our
physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia's aim is less to
tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about
long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an
individual. In Outlive, readers will discover:
* Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn't tell you
enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.
* That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet
underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic
diseases of aging.
* Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity "drug"—and how to begin
training for the "Centenarian Decathlon."
* Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional
biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating
pattern.
* Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring
emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.
Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is
not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path
for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade
better than the one before.
For many, anxiety is a powerful giant that would like you to believe that your life will never be normal again. A giant that traps you in darkness and defeat. But, you can live free from anxiety.
Knowing first-hand the reality of the battle of anxiety, pastor Louie Giglio shares both practical and spiritual ways to walk in freedom. With encouragement and hope he unfolds the truth in the paradox that anxiety is dead but still deadly—namely, that while the reality of anxiety might be intimidating, there is One whose power has already won the battle.
Putting an X Through Anxiety will show you how to put an "X" through your anxiety using the strongest of weapons: the cross of Jesus. Each day of the journey will help you put one foot forward in the battle, breaking through strongholds where Jesus has already fought for you and won.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup,
comes a captivating guide that explains how to thrive in today's
turbulent global economy. Burdened with massive debt, stagnant
wages and the ever-rising cost of living, a growing number of
millennials and gen-Z are abandoning the traditional nine-to-five
model of work, instead turning to the ecosystem of largely
unregulated, decentralized platforms to pursue a host of novel ways
to make money. In Gonzo Capitalism, New York Times bestselling
author and serial entrepreneur Chris Guillebeau explores this brave
new world – from the Texas software rep who earned $80,000
sending potatoes in the mail, to the British teenager who earned
nearly $500,000 naming other people’s babies, to the community of
online gamers getting ‘paid to play’. Along the way, he shows
you how our economy really works and reveals how you can capitalize
on the new tools and platforms at our disposal, and come up with
your own unconventional ways to turn your time and talents into
income.

National Coach of the Year Awards -- and many of the players he
coached in college have gone on to NBA stardom! Now Coach K offers
the insights he uses to coax peak performances from his team,
relying on lessons he learned as a captain in the U.S. Army,
sportsmanship, respect, and a genuine gift for leading with the
heart.

How do you live a full life? Perhaps the better question is, how do you
really live when life throws you sucker punches, when you face
obstacles that seem to snuff out your faith, when you lose something or
someone precious to you? In The Fight to Flourish, Jennie Lusko
encourages women to suit up and thrive, not just in the dailies of
monotony and routine but even in the most desolate of places. Using the
backdrop of her second-born daughter Lenya’s passing into heaven five
days before Christmas in 2012, Jennie invites readers to embrace
whatever destination they’ve landed. She teaches how, through the good
and the bad, they can learn to grow, be strong, draw near to God, and
be a blessing to others. It is in this sacred space of pain and promise
that women can begin to flourish.
It's time to embrace the slower pace! There's no denying it -
you're OLD, but that comes with a lot of perks. You can say the
most outrageous things and somehow get away with it. You can dress
however you damn well please. And after learning from so many
mistakes, you're now as wise as you are wizened. It's your time to
recline, and this hilarious book will show you how it's done.
