Summary

This book is a collection of essays by Arthur Schopenhauer, a German philosopher best known for his work 'The World as Will and Representation.' In this work, he characterizes the phenomenal world as the product of a blind noumenal will, building on the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant. Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that rejected the contemporaneous ideas of German idealism. Some of the titles include in this book are 'Care should be taken not to build the happiness of life' and 'Envy is natural to man; and still, it is at once a vice'.

    Dating expert Jazz Vazquez explains what women don’t know about men and startling male sexual dynamics. Jazz has the shocking and sometimes disturbing inside view of the rarely exposed male psyche. What does it really mean when a man tells you he finds you fascinating? Vazquez sifts through the garbage women read in chick magazines to tell you the truth. Learn about generational sex exchanges such as moms who pawn off their adult daughters to boyfriends as well as husbands who give their wives to their senior citizen fathers as “sex offerings.”It is not what you want to hear, but what you need to know if you are a woman who wants to get married or have a hot sex life. Men like women who are tight and young. While there is still a place for older women, it is not in the bedroom unless she is hanging mini blinds or cleaning. Women who spout about their list of “what they want in a man,” are clueless to the realities of life. Mainly, women get old fast – and their market value crashes like a retail stock after Amazon takes over the industry. Find out what makes your market value rise and what makes it crash hard.

    Combining the latest developments and research discoveries, board-certified gastroenterologist and medical host on CNN and Fox News, Dr. Roshini Raj shows the ways in which the microbiome impacts overall well-being, and helps readers reset their biological clocks by improving their gut health. 
     
    With one in four Americans suffering from digestive health issues every day, gut health has become an increasingly important part of wellness. With the human body, so many issues can be improved upon, or cured, by balancing the microbiome. But the microbiome—a community of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts that dwell in the body—has long been something that the average person can find baffling—and maybe a little bit gross. 
    By offering simple and straightforward answers to questions like what one should be eating, what probiotics are, which vitamins and medicines really work, Dr. Raj demystifies the gut. She uses the idea of a home renovation to show how different organs and parts of the body can be “renovated” in order to optimize the microbiome. After all, balancing one’s microbiome improves digestive health, brain function, emotional stability, the body’s response to inflammation, immunity, and lessens premature aging. 
    Melding the latest developments and discoveries in microbiome research, along with Dr. Raj’s practical tips developed from her years of clinical experience, Gut Renovation shows readers how to turn back the biological clock and revamp the way they live forever. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
