Your Brain's Silent Killers

David Perlmutter, Kristin Loberg

overview

In “Grain Brain”, renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, M.D., blows the lid off a finding that's been buried in medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. Even so-called healthy carbs like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, decreased libido, and much more. Groundbreaking and timely, Grain Brain shows that the fate of your brain is not in your genes, it's in the food you eat. Dr. Perlmutter explains what happens when your brain encounters common ingredients in fruit bowls and bread, how statins may be erasing your memory, why a diet high in "good fats" is ideal, and how to spur the growth of new brain cells at any age.

Grit

The Power of Passion and Perseverance

Angela Duckworth

15 min read

overview

Why do some people succeed and others fail? Why do naturally talented people frequently fail to reach their potential while other far less gifted individuals go on to achieve amazing things? How can you change your life through conscious endeavour? Angela Lee Duckworth is an American academic, psychologist and popular science author. Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success. Rather, other factors can be even more crucial such as identifying our passions and following through on our commitments. Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that, not talent or luck, makes all the difference.

The plague among ladies is the desire for those whom they love to love them in return and in the same proportion. Often, they are tempted to fake it even when it is so obvious that the man is not going to be who they have pictured in their minds for him to be. Greg Behrendt, a consultant for three years on HBO's Emmy-winning “Sex and the City,” and Liz Tuccillo, the executive story editor on the same project, both give the answer to the questions of doubt which any lady may face. If you have questions about whether a guy likes you or not, whether he's the kind of man for you, why he is not calling you, why he is not taking the next step in the relationship, why you feel the way you do after a breakup, why things are not going well in your dating life, this bite-sized book provides clear cut answers to such questions and lots of other useful pieces of advice for your dating life.
