Supersized Lies by Robert Davis Pdf

The world would have you believe that losing weight is easy, but the truth is, in many cases, you're being fed a generous helping of falsehoods and misguided dieting advice. The media, celebrities, weight-loss gurus, and the Internet bombard society with recommendations about how to shed unwanted pounds: Count calories, cut carbs, exercise more, skip meals, drink more water, pop a pill. Yet as more people try diligently to follow this advice, waistlines continue to expand. In Supersized Lies, Robert J. Davis, PhD, aka The Healthy Skeptic, shows you why this inability to lose weight isn't your fault as he reveals how hype, half-truths, and unproven solutions have steered you into fruitless quests that inflict emotional and physical harm. In this health and wellness book, the award-winning health journalist, whose work has appeared on CNN, WebMD, and in The Wall Street Journal, reveals: Which weight-loss measures are most - and least - likely to be effective. How conventional wisdom about weight loss is often wrong. How to spot misleading weight-loss advice, and avoid being duped into wasting time, money, and effort. How, contrary to what we often hear, effective weight control doesn't require following complicated, restrictive rules. The interesting history behind flawed weight-loss advice, and the forces that currently perpetuate and benefit from it. In addition to uncovering how and why we're being led astray, Supersized Lies lays out weight-control strategies that research shows actually work, and it tells the inspiring stories of people who, after falling victim to the falsehoods of conventional guidance, have achieved success by forging their own paths. Written in a lively, easy-to-understand style, this myth-shattering book sheds surprising new light on old assumptions and offers an inspiring way forward to those caught in the cacophony of weight-loss advice.

We Are in This Together! by Dr. Donald Salem Pdf

We Are in This Together! By: Dr. Donald Salem No one was supposed to know why or how. The scheme was elaborate. It turned out to be a long history of connected mysteries. It took decades of research for Dr. Donald Salem to gain clarity. Being a Viet Nam Vet and having lectured and written on terrorism, anti-Semitism, and Middle East conflicts for almost forty years has given him a rare perspective. To share his discoveries, he bound thousands of facts by using a parable about a wild environmental terror in the USA. Five of the survivors, like most Americans, were furious that the government did not protect them. They launched their quest to discover why. In this first book of a trilogy, Salem takes us on a rollercoaster ride of verifiable facts. Who is this mastermind, TerVol? When the high-speed rollercoaster turns upside down, will our exceptionalism hold us in? He examines why our society is so exceptional. Can we hold on to our exceptional freedoms and prosperity or will we face a decline in which our children will suffer most? How do we identify our real allies? We can identify them by their exceptionalism, quality of life for all citizens and how well they honor human rights. This first book brilliantly highlights why clarity must rule over ambiguity. Salem shares facts to help us make our own decisions. He makes it clear that we cannot hold on to our freedoms and prosperity without taking responsibility and caring for each other. He promises that by the last book we should have the clarity and plenty of reasons to act on the 10 steps to “S.O.S.” – Save Our Society.

The Truth about Lying by Stephen Costello Pdf

In this forthright and fascinating study, Dr Stephen J. Costello, philosopher and logotherapist, takes us on a profound journey into the intricate and intriguing nature of the dynami of lying. Drawing on philosophy, logical puzzles and Lacanian psychoanalysis, Costello investigates the types of lies we tell, the lies that include a good deal of truth, how and why children lie, the lies lovers tell, self-deception and much more. In the final section of the book Costello focuses in particular on how men and women lie in different ways. Men, he argues, lie in the guise of truth while women tell the truth in the guise of a lie. Men tend to be more direct while women are more deceptive. Men lie to create a better image of themselves, women lie to make others feel more comfortable. Provocative, while also frequently amusing, The Truth about Lying is a pithy primer on the act and art of lying. “This is an absolutely fascinating book . . . a quite extraordinary range of information . . . I can only encourage everyone to read it and thoroughly enjoy it as I did.” - Ivor Browne, from the Foreword

The Philosophy and Practice of Medicine and Bioethics by Barbara Maier,Warren A. Shibles Pdf

This book challenges the unchallenged methods in medicine, such as "evidence-based medicine," which claim to be, but often are not, scientific. It completes medical care by adding the comprehensive humanistic perspectives and philosophy of medicine. No specific or absolute recommendations are given regarding medical treatment, moral approaches, or legal advice. Given rather is discussion about each issue involved and the strongest arguments indicated. Each argument is subject to further critical analysis. This is the same position as with any philosophical, medical or scientific view. The argument that decision-making in medicine is inadequate unless grounded on a philosophy of medicine is not meant to include all of philosophy and every philosopher. On the contrary, it includes only sound, practical and humanistic philosophy and philosophers who are creative and critical thinkers and who have concerned themselves with the topics relevant to medicine. These would be those philosophers who engage in practical philosophy, such as the pragmatists, humanists, naturalists, and ordinary-language philosophers. A new definition of our own philosophy of life emerges and it is necessary to have one. Good lifestyle no longer means just abstaining from cigarettes, alcohol and getting exercise. It also means living a holistic life, which includes all of one's thinking, personality and actions. This book also includes new ways of thinking. In this regard the "Metaphorical Method" is explained, used, and exemplified in depth, for example in the chapters on care, egoism and altruism, letting die, etc.

Raising Your Game by Ethan J. Skolnick and Dr. Andrea Corn Pdf

America's children are joining and quitting youth sports in record numbers. If kids can't find the fun in an activity, they may try to find the way out. If an adult can't find the right tools, they may not know the right words to say or the right actions to take. In Raising Your Game, authors Ethan J. Skolnick and Dr. Andrea Corn present a guide adults can use to ensure the most enjoyable and enriching youth sports experience for a child. Through a combination of advice from more than 100 elite athletes and time-tested sports psychology concepts, Raising Your Game prompts parents to consider what really matters when it comes to their kids and sports. From LeBron James to Shannon Miller, Brandi Chastain to Jason Taylor, John Smoltz to Mary Joe Fernandez, Sanya Richards-Ross to Torii Hunter, athletes from across the sports spectrum discuss their setbacks and successes what worked for them and what didn't. Raising Your Game discusses the types of guidance that can ignite inspiration and foster participation, practice, and progress, and which methods can create frustration and dejection. It shows the difference a supportive parent can make by showing up, showing interest and, at times, showing restraint.
