Olympic Laws: Culture, Values, Tensions is the first book to
analyse fully the Olympic legal framework and its application to
the IOC and the Olympic Games through a socio-legal lens. It opens
up a new window into understanding the Olympic Games, across recent
iterations of the Games and on to future Games. The book begins by
defining the parameters of the emergent legal sub-fields of Sports
Law, lex Olympica and Olympic Law, through the identification of
the sources of these Olympic Laws and their underpinning norms. It
then uses a series of case studies to demonstrate how lex Olympica
has evolved as a means of defending the Olympic Movement from
unwanted legal interventions, how Olympic Law has been created to
protect the commercial rights vested in the Games, and how the
legacies created by this unique category of law have a lasting
impact on host cities and beyond. It concludes with a call that the
IOC recalibrate its relationships with prospective hosts and the
participating athletes by requiring specific adherence to the
Fundamental Principles of Olympism. This is essential reading for
any student or researcher with an interest in Olympic studies,
sport law, or socio-legal studies, or any practising lawyer or
events professional looking to better understand the impact and
institutions of mega-events.

Doctors think they heal with drugs. But only living cells can heal.
When something is out of balance, your cells move to correct it
because bodies want to be well. HEAL YOURSELF! HOW TO HARNESS
PLACEBO POWER shows how to tap into this mysterious process to get
well and stay well by harnessing your body's natural healing
power--the power of placebo. These amazing effects are not just "in
the mind." They can be observed and measured in the body's
physiology. When patients believe in the treatment, ulcers heal,
warts disappear, cancer goes into remission, swelling
reduces--cells actually look different under the microscope. When
your doctor believes in the treatment, the impact is even more
powerful --not in every case, of course. But in enough that science
now accepts that something is going on! HEAL YOURSELF! explains how
researchers believe that the stress response creates an environment
that promotes physiological breakdown, while the relaxation
Response creates a healing environment. HEAL YOURSELF! offers
specific things you can do, and do today, to turn on your body's
innate healing mechanisms, including meditation, prayer, laughter,
listening to music and rocking, Qi Gong, gratitude and forgiveness,
and more.

We have freedom of speech but we're afraid to speak. Our lives have
become subjected to PC tyranny--a constant fear of "offending"
someone. We think that we are independent and that it is the other
guy who is influenced, brain washed, duped, persuaded. We feel like
we think for ourselves. How can we "feel" otherwise? There's no way
to know because countless influences and interactions have molded
us. We're members of various groups--circles of friends, family,
professional groups, hobby group, and workplace groups. Groups have
a way of developing a view that it imposes with a kind of
group-think. We want to belong, to be liked and included so go
along and get along. We don't make waves by questioning. If we have
a different view, we keep it to ourselves. Why rock the boat?
Thinking for yourself is not so easy. When encountering an argument
to a long held opinion or a wild idea, we use critical thinking to
evaluate it, as we were taught to do in school. The problem is that
critical thinking is critical. It focuses our thinking on the
negative--what doesn't work, what's wrong with the idea--and
encourages my-side thinking where we evaluate evidence in a way
that favors our beliefs and entraps us into closed-mindedness.
Thinking for yourself requires open-mindedness. Open-mindedness is
being receptive and, when the issue is important, calls for
actively searching for evidence against your beliefs. Thinking is
not driven by answers but by questions. Every intellectual field is
born out of a cluster of questions to which answers are needed. Had
no questions been asked by those who laid the foundation for a
field -- for example, Physics or Biology -- the field would never
have been developed. We define tasks, express problems and
delineate issues with questions. Answers signal an end point and
stop thought, except when an answer generates a further question.
Timothy Leary said, "to think for yourself you must question
authority". To think, you must question. To think through or
rethink anything, one must ask questions that stimulate thought.
The quality of your questions determines the quality of your
thinking. Thinking begins within some content when questions are
generated. No questions equals no understanding. To engage in
thinking through your content you must stimulate your thinking with
questions that lead to further questions. Our own opinions is one
authority we should frequently question. Times change. We change.
Perspectives and values change. Book explores how opinions and
values we held in the past need periodic evaluation and challenge.
Independent thinkers evolve and need to shed the shackles of old
views and opinions. Ridicule is the strongest weapon for pressing
us to conform. It is a kind of bait that if you go for it will
entrap you in an argument you can't win and leave you looking
ridiculous and deflated. Question Authority; Think for Yourself
offers techniques, with examples, of how to deflect attacks,
side-tracks, and put-downs. If you've bitten your tongue and later
wished you'd spoken up and not been cowed into silence by a mocking
co-worker when you revealed a "politically incorrect" viewpoint,
you'll find much of interest in Question Authority; Think for
Yourself .
Healing Hormones tackles a huge, attention-getting subject. TV and
radio shows, websites telling people to take it easy, slow down,
de-stress to feel better, live longer, be a better parent and more
loving mate. But how? The prescriptions are disappointing: Yoga?
Time-consuming and difficult for many. Prescription drugs? Costly,
subject to abuse and may not be helpful. Naturopathic remedies?
Unproven, untested and often ineffective. Healing Hormones has a
better answer: show readers how to harness their own bodies' heal
producing chemicals to improve their lives. Healing Hormones takes
the take-care-of-yourself trend a step beyond where it has been
before. Author Mark J. Estren, Ph.D., investigates five
body-produced hormones that counter the stress response to make
life better, calmer and more relaxed. The five healing hormones are
dopamine, nitric oxide, endorphins, oxytocin, and serotonin.
Healing Hormones will be readers' top choice to learn the pluses
and minuses of the remarkable hormones that drive their health and
happiness or undercut it. Estren--who has more than 20 years of
experience writing about medical issues and research for patients
and their families--explains how to harness the power of these
healing hormones in clear, easily understandable language.
