  The Autopilot Loop - The...

  You set the alarm early, plan the salad, and promise yourself you'll put the phone down before midnight. By evening, nothing has gone according to plan. You weren't lazy. You weren't weak. You were, quite simply, on autopilot.
  In The Autopilot Loop, neuroscientist and clinical psychologist Gregory Bicaj draws on two decades of laboratory research and frontline clinical practice to explain the hidden architecture governing human behavior. The answer lies not in character or willpower, but in the brain's ancient habit machinery — a system built for efficiency, operating largely outside conscious awareness, and running roughly 40 percent of your daily life without you.
  Bicaj introduces readers to the neurological loop at the heart of all habitual behavior: the cue that triggers action, the craving that propels it, the routine that executes it, and the reward that locks it in. From Ann Graybiel's landmark maze experiments to Wolfram Schultz's dopamine research, from the Vietnam heroin studies to Michael Phelps's Olympic preparation, the science is clear — habits are not personality. They are compressed behavioral scripts encoded in the basal ganglia, running on contextual triggers, and stubbornly indifferent to your best intentions.
  But this book is not a counsel of helplessness. It is a practical manual for working with your brain rather than against it. Bicaj shows why suppression fails and substitution succeeds, why environmental design outperforms willpower, why crises and life transitions open rare windows of behavioral plasticity, and how a single keystone habit can cascade change across an entire life. He also examines how these mechanisms operate beyond individuals — in organizations, social movements, and the digital platforms specifically engineered to capture and hold your attention.
  Across seventeen chapters that move from cellular neuroscience to corporate boardrooms to the Montgomery bus boycott, The Autopilot Loop offers a unified account of why humans repeat what they repeat — and a research-grounded, clinically tested framework for choosing something different. The result is not a promise of instant reinvention, but something more honest and more durable: a way of gradually shifting the odds, one redesigned loop at a time.
  For readers of Jonathan Haidt and Gabor Maté, and for anyone who has ever wondered why knowing better so rarely means doing better.

  Fragmented - A Doctor's Quest to...

  MD Ilana Yurkiewicz

  There's an unspoken assumption when we go to see a doctor: the doctor knows our medical story and is making decisions based on that story. But reality often falls short. Medical records vanish when we switch doctors. Critical details of life-saving treatment plans get lost in muddled electronic charts. The doctors we see change according to specialty, hospital shifts, or an insurer's whims. 
   
    
   
  In this gripping narrative from medicine's front lines, Ilana Yurkiewicz reveals how a system that doesn't talk to itself puts insupportable burdens on physicians, patients, and caregivers. The stories she tells are at once harrowing and commonplace. A patient narrowly averts an unnecessary, invasive heart procedure by producing a worn rhythm strip he has carried in his pocket for a decade. A man diagnosed with leukemia while visiting from abroad has thirty-one physicians, but no one he can call "his" doctor, with tragic consequences. When Yurkiewicz's own father falls ill, a culture that incentivizes health care providers to react with quick fixes leads to weeks of additional suffering. 
   
   
   
  The system is hanging by a thread, and we need better solutions. Yurkiewicz issues a clear-eyed call for change, naming concrete reforms doctors and policymakers can make, and empowering patients and their loved ones to advocate for themselves in the meantime.

  Is it possible to be a Christian and a nurse at the same time? 
  When I first started out in my calling as a nurse, I thought the answer to that question was an easy "yes," but then as I walked the long halls of the hospital, I started to have questions:Is it ever okay to pray for a patient?Why do I feel so awkward asking for a chaplain?When death is real, does heaven have a place in the hospital? 
  I tried to find resources written by other Christian medical professionals to help me, but all I ever heard were statements on ethics and the legal repercussions of bringing "coercive" faith to the bedside. 
  Then I faced death myself in an ICU bed and learned that a lot of my fears were irrelevant in the Presence of the living God. And with that realization, I began to learn how God could make me a Christian and a nurse at the same time. 
  Facing death in an ICU bed is a high-risk education not everyone can afford, so I've collected the lessons learned during my journey in this book. These spiritual case studies can be used to help nurses bring their faith to work. 
  Discussion Questions included for small group study or personal growth.
