Sinopsis

'Silver Lining' explores the enduring influence of proverbs in modern communication, offering a fascinating examination of how these ancient wisdom nuggets continue to shape our decision-making and interpersonal interactions. The book uniquely bridges the gap between historical linguistics and practical application, demonstrating how proverbs serve as powerful cognitive shortcuts and cultural touchstones in contemporary society.

 
Through a well-structured approach spanning three main sections, the work first delves into the historical evolution of English proverbs from medieval times to present day. It then examines their psychological and social impact before providing actionable frameworks for incorporating proverbial wisdom into professional and personal communication. The inclusion of 500 frequently used proverbs, complete with historical context and regional variations, makes this resource particularly valuable for language educators and communication professionals.

 
What sets this book apart is its innovative organization of proverbs based on communication objectives rather than traditional alphabetical listing. Drawing from cognitive science, linguistics, and social psychology, it presents evidence-based insights while maintaining accessibility for general readers. The progression from theoretical understanding to practical application makes it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their communication skills, whether in business presentations, cross-cultural interactions, or educational settings.

    Olivia Chadwick—a young mother and self-critical personal trainer—first met insurance magnate Garnet Morris at 6 am on a winter morning in Saskatoon, Canada. Chadwick's task was to help prepare Morris for the grueling,100-mile Kananaskis relay, but she had reservations—about his coachability as well as her ability to reach him while juggling her own professional, familial and maternal struggles. 
    Through mutual hesitations, their seasons-long training schedule led to profound and unexpected conversations. As it turned out, the coach needed coaching on self-esteem and self-forgiveness—as well as someone to believe in her as she rebuilt her own strength. 
     In 17 Runs, co-authors Chadwick and Morris chart the course of their unique camaraderie around initial differences and toward mutual transformation. Through their challenging push-pull, they tell a story that’s a testament to the renewing power friendship can have on our lives, businesses and ability to love. 
    Full of entrepreneurial wisdom on overcoming limitations, 17 Runs is a self-development story like no other. By turns motivational, amusing and heart-breaking, it is a must-read for anyone who needs coaching on how to run toward a life they truly choose.

    **Narrated by the Author** 
    The first comprehensive user guide to GLP-1s (such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound) with an overview of how they work and possible side effects. Also including companion recipes, exercise guidance, and new habits to maintain lifelong health and keep weight off for good. 
    The newest class of weight loss drugs (GLP-1s) are complete game-changers in their potential to reverse obesity and its related diseases, with nearly 50% of Americans qualifying for the use of these drugs. Already 1 in 8 Americans say they’ve tried a GLP-1 medication—but with many acquiring their prescription from online pharmacies, med spas, and general practitioners, they face a huge gap between trying the drug and achieving their health goals with it long-term. 
    That’s where The Ozempic Revolution comes in. Alexandra Sowa, MD, a leading obesity medicine specialist, shares her expertise on this much-discussed but largely misunderstood class of medica­tions, including information like: 
    What the GLP-1 experience really feels likeHow to know if you’re a candidate for these medicationsHow to get a prescription and get it covered by insuranceHow to manage and reduce unwanted side effectsUnique food plans and strategies for managing the mental challenges of losing weightSimple, easy recipes for when you don’t feel like eating 
    Traditional and social media has been flooded with junk information and stigmatizing headlines about GLP-1s, and in this book, Dr. Sowa digs into all of it—the good, the bad, and the ugly—bringing the science to light. 
    If you’re curious about how GLP-1s might fit into your life, or want to optimize your experience while taking them, then Dr. Sowa’s clear-eyed, fully informed approach is a must-read. The Ozempic revolution changes everything: these drugs finally provide a viable, healthy, and sane way to lose weight, avoid disease, and maintain your health gains for life.

    Indoor Epidemic - 93% Inside...

    Winner, 2026 International Book Award in Health: Alternative Medicine. Featured on The Oprah Podcast, August 2026. 
    You do everything right. You are still exhausted. 
    You track your sleep. You try to eat well. You take vitamins. You follow protocols. You still wake tired, crash at 2 pm, lie awake wired at 3 am, and cannot focus. 
    The problem is not your willpower. It is where you spend your time. 
    We spend 93% of our lives indoors, under artificial light, staring at screens. Digital saturation turns your hours into what Dr. John La Puma calls ultraprocessed time: stripped of the natural signals that regulate sleep, hormones, attention, and metabolism. The result is inflammation, burnout, brain fog, impaired immunity, and metabolic dysfunction. You're at increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Burnout is not psychological or willpower. It is indoor confinement. 
    The prescription is simple. Intentional time outdoors at the right time of day acts like medicine. Repurpose just 17 minutes daily that you already spend outside as a minimum effective dose to move blood pressure, mood, memory. 
    You will sleep deeply using light and temperature instead of medication. Restore metabolic flexibility with daylight and meal timing. Clear brain fog by fixing its cause. Fill the 7% Outdoor Rx using dozens of micro-dose prescriptions that fit any schedule. 
    For parents and educators: since 2020 childhood depression has surged while outdoor time has fallen. Screens, and the bed rotting that follows them, are not a discipline problem. They are environmental. This is a medication-free way to restore focus, mood, and sleep for the whole family. 
    John La Puma, MD, is a board-certified internist and two-time NYTimes bestselling author. He reviewed 2200 peer-reviewed studies to find the right dose of nature for your condition. In 2025 he led the first skills-based Nature as Medicine CME course for physicians in the US, at UCLA.
