Think Before You Think -...

Adrian Owen

A pioneering researcher unveils the neuroscience of executive function: How it works and what we can (and can’t) do to improve it. 
 
From the muddle of brain fog that leaves you searching for keys already in your hand to the challenges posed by conditions like ADHD, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s, deficits in executive function are everywhere. Everyone agrees that executive function is essential for solving problems, planning for the future, and leading effective, meaningful lives―yet few can agree on what it actually is, or how to improve it. In Think Before You Think, internationally renowned neuroscientist Adrian Owen draws on cutting-edge research and a vast original dataset to finally demystify what executive function is, how it shapes our behavior, and what truly does―and doesn’t―help sharpen it. As practical as it is profound, Think Before You Think reveals our cognitive strengths, our limitations, and the extraordinary potential we all possess.

Silk and Clay - A Physician's...

Deepak Thekkoott

He was a cardiologist at the top of his game-until his own body turned on him. On an ordinary Monday, a sudden cramp in Dr. Deepak Thekkoott's leg sent him on a harrowing journey from healer to patient. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, he was thrown into the chaos of hospitals, chemo, and confronting death-all while trying to hold his family, his faith, and his sense of self together. Silk and Clay: A Physician's Journey of Cancer, Survival, and Restored Faith is a richly layered narrative that weaves together medicine, memory, and migration-told with unflinching honesty and spiritual depth. It is about what it means to heal when the cure might kill you, and to carry centuries of culture and love through each brutal day. With sharp detail, searing vulnerability, and flashes of dry wit, Dr. Deepak invites us into a body broken, a spirit searching, and a soul that refuses to be undone.
