Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think
Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think

Review:The book left me encouraged about the progress outside the western world. I did not do well on the quiz. yet, I have seen the homeless in San Diego. Detroit slums are horrible. The water in Flint is deadly. The crime rate in St. Louis and Chicago is scary. Many small cities in the rural south have more adults on welfare than have jobs. The US is more divided than ever, it seems. There is more to life than global public health. While this book touched on many improvements around the globe, ... Read more

The Science of Those Without Conscience - The Psychopath Whisperer

Review:Amazing book! A very informative, interesting, and entertaining (humorous, too) read. In addition to the well-written content, one of the things I loved most was how much the author's passion for the topic showed throughout the entire book. From a technology standpoint, the use of fMRI for forensic neuroscience research was fascinating. This is a great read for anyone interested in criminal psychology, neuroscience, and health technology. Read more

Review:Caitlin Moran, thank you for this book. It was so funny and a great reminder that the women's movement hasn't gone anywhere. I am so glad I didn't have to wait too long for Moranthology to follow. I have read both books several times in the past 30 days. I love them. Read more

Using the Power of Spirit to Create Health - and Happiness

* The Power of Thought
* Will is the Dynamo
* You Can Control Destiny
* Fear Exhausts Life Energy

Thoughts on Overtraining and Recovery in Strength Training
Thoughts on Overtraining and Recovery in Strength Training

Review:I recently finished this book by "skinny science geek", powerlifter/strongman, philospher, and author Matt Perryman. I will share my verdict at the end.

Every so often, an individual comes along to challenge a fundamental belief. This belief that Perryman's book discusses is the bedrock of the modern fitness industry: Work hard in the gym and go "recover" well, lest you spoil all your "gainz" and get injured.

Exercise is fantastic because it makes the body create it's very own "hea... Read more
