Summary

"Train Like A Fighter" explores the surprising intersection between the exaggerated training methods depicted in manga and the science-backed practices of real-world martial arts and athletics. It examines how iconic manga scenes and training montages, often featuring high-intensity interval training and bodyweight exercises, align with established sports science principles like progressive overload, offering a unique perspective for martial arts enthusiasts and fitness professionals alike.

 
The book uniquely blends entertainment and education, making complex concepts accessible by using manga as a gateway to understanding fitness. The book deconstructs manga training methods, comparing them to principles of strength and conditioning, biomechanics, and exercise physiology. It traces the evolution of physical conditioning from traditional to modern, evidence-based practices, revealing how core tenets of effective physical training resonate within fictional settings, albeit often amplified.

 
This exploration encourages a critical approach to both fictional narratives and real-world fitness pursuits, highlighting the importance of recovery and periodization. Structured in three parts, "Train Like A Fighter" first introduces fundamental sports science concepts. It then delves into specific manga-inspired training methodologies, analyzing their scientific validity. Finally, it consolidates this information by comparing manga-inspired training with real-world conditioning programs, offering practical recommendations for readers to incorporate into their own fitness journeys and athletic development.

    A groundbreaking redefinition of what it means to be healthy that introduces the need for social health—the part of wellbeing that comes from feeling connected—to truly flourish. 
    Exercise. Eat a balanced diet. Go to therapy. Most wellness advice is focused on achieving and maintaining good physical and mental health. But Harvard-trained social scientist and pioneering social health expert Kasley Killam reveals that this approach is missing a vital component: human connection. 
    Relationships not only make us happier, but also are critical to our overall health and longevity. Research shows that people with a strong sense of belonging are 2.6 times more likely to report good or excellent health. Perhaps even more astonishingly, people who lack social support are up to 53% more likely to die from any cause. Yet social health has been overlooked and underappreciated—until now. 
    Just as we exercise our physical muscles, we can strengthen our social muscles. Weaving together cutting-edge science, mindset shifts, and practical wisdom, Killam offers the first methodology for how to be socially healthy. An antidote to the loneliness epidemic and an inspiring manifesto for seeing wellbeing as not only physical and mental, but also social, The Art and Science of Connection is a handbook for thriving. 
    In this essential book, you will: 
    Learn a simple yet powerful framework to understand, evaluate, and bolster your social health.Discover the exact strategy or habit you need, as well as research-backed tips, to cultivate and sustain meaningful connection now and throughout your life.Glean actionable insights to develop a sense of community in your neighborhood, at work, and online from a spirited group of neighbors in Paris, the CEO of a major healthcare company, and an artificially intelligent chatbot.Get an insider look at the innovative ways that doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs, architects, government leaders, and everyday people are catalyzing a movement toward a more socially healthy society.The Art and Science of Connection will transform the way you think about each interaction with a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor, and give you the tools you need to live a more connected and healthy life—whether you are an introvert or extrovert, if you feel stretched thin, and no matter your age or background. Along the way, Killam will reveal how a university student, a newlywed, a working professional, and a retired widow overcame challenges to thrive through connection—and how you can, too.

    Sing Your Name Out Loud - 15...

    Jason Derulo

    In his page-turning and inspiring first book, legendary songwriter and recording artist Jason Derulo shares his 15 rules for finding success in any pursuit, and invites everyone—especially artists and creators—to start on their path to greatness. 
    In 2009, an 18-year-old son of Haitian immigrants burst onto Billboard music charts with the instant #1 song, “Whatcha Say,” which sampled a surprising hook and opened with what would prove to be one of the catchiest lines in pop music history – the artist’s own name, sung out loud. Defying every possible odd, Jason Derulo cemented himself again and again, hit after hit, as one of the hardest working singers, dancers, and performers in the world and a risk-taking force of nature. 
    This is the remarkable story of Derulo's come up, told through the valuable principles that guided and propelled him toward artistic excellence. Waking at 4am to catch buses across Miami so he could attend performing arts schools on scholarship, entering himself into local singing competitions at the mall on the weekends, and penning hundreds of songs before he ever saw the inside of a recording studio, Derulo’s commitment to his dream – and dedication to seeing it come true – is the stuff of legend. But it was during his reinvention in 2020, after becoming one of the most followed creators on TikTok, that he realized his personal rules for self-mastery and success are applicable anywhere, for anyone, under any circumstance. “Now,” he writes, “It’s your turn.” 
    Like Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights and Jay Shetty’s Think Like A Monk, Sing Your Name Out Loud: 15 Rules for Living Your Dream takes readers into the mind of one of the most consistent, dominating, and versatile artists alive. Derulo reflects, in his own words, on the defining moments of his career thus far, most notably the wins and losses that strengthened his signature style of creative pursuit and offers his fifteen rules for turning goals into reality – where numbers mean everything, obstacles are opportunities, closed doors are meant to be opened, failure is inevitable, and good lighting is non-negotiable. 
    Some of the rules that Derulo offers in this book: 
    TAKE RISKS. Failure Is Good.YOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR ROUTINE. Train Repetitively for Your Success.THOSE WHO CAN, DO. Those Who Can’t Become Critics.RESPECT THE HIVE. Your Copilots Are as Important as the Destination.
