As a culture, we are increasingly failing to respect young boyhood,
pathologising normal boy behaviour and foisting burdensome and
stigmatising diagnoses of ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, bipolar
disorder, and more on boys as young as three years old. The result,
as Dr. Anthony Rao passionately argues in "The Way of Boys", is
nothing less than a crisis in boyhood, with ever-increasing numbers
of boys being treated and medicated for problems they simply don't
have. In this practical and accessible guide to the distinct
challenges of raising young boys into good men, Dr. Rao urges
parents, educators, pediatricians, psychologists, and other
developmental experts to reevaluate and radically alter how we deal
with our youngest boys. He teaches parents how to rear their sons
with respect for their natural development right from the start,
which gives them the best shot at growing into confident and
healthy men ready to make their unique contributions to the world.

cancer. They relay important information about understanding
prognosis, and they translate what doctors mean when they describe
tests, treatments, and medical procedures. Finally, they discuss
hospice care and answer questions about continuing treatment and
managing the final phase of life. Based on new research and a
groundbreaking program in which patients are treated with
palliative care-along with the best cancer care-during the course
of their illness, this honest and caring book provides the right
advice to use at the right time throughout a journey with cancer.

An eye-opening handbook from a leading Ayurvedic physician that
blends cutting-edge science on "clock genes" with ancient eastern
wisdom to help us understand how to harness the power of
chronobiology to effortlessly lose weight, sleep better, exercise
stronger, reduce stress, and boost our wellbeing. "It's not you,
it's your schedule." Does it sound like magic? It's not. We've all
heard of circadian rhythms-those biological processes that give us
jet lag and make us night owls or early birds. But few of us know
just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect our overall
health. Bad habits like skipping meals, squeezing in workouts when
it's convenient, working late into the night to maximize
productivity and then trying to "catch up" on sleep during the
weekend disrupt our natural cycles. A growing body of research on
chronobiology reveals just how sensitive the human body is to these
rhythms all the way down to the genetic level. Our "clock genes"
control more than we realize, and small changes can make the
difference between battling our bodies, and effortlessly managing
weight, sleep, stress, inflammation, and more. Marrying ancient
Ayurvedic wisdom with the latest scientific research, Dr. Suhas
Kshirsagar's holistic step-by-step 30-day plan gives you the
tools-and the schedule-you need to transform your life. With
diagnostic quizzes to determine your specific mind-body type, you
will learn to adapt you schedule for effortless wellness for life.
