  In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Peterson directs us to look beyond the companionship we enjoy with our domesticated animal friends, and invites us to explore how wild animals can become our guides and fellow travelers, helping us navigate the stresses of daily life on a rapidly changing planet. She shares the poignant story of an elderly woman who had Alzheimer’s and lost her memory of friends, family, and even her own name. But this doyenne knew the birds, and knew who she was as she came weekly to feed the gulls. She also shares the story of working with animal allies that empowered young teens in a classroom setting. She highights the need for playfulness that enhances our survival. Peterson delights us with her many adventures with dolphins, beluga whales, orcas, and wolves.

  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.

  The answers to life's biggest questions can be found by looking at the little things . . . 
   
   
   
  Though you may not be able to see them with the naked eye, parasites—miniscule life forms that live inside other organisms—inhabit our everyday lives. From headlice to bird droppings, litterboxes to unfiltered water, you have brushed up against the most common way of life on our planet. 
   
   
   
  In this unique book, John Janovy Jr., one of the world's preeminent experts on parasites, reveals what can humans learn from the most reviled yet misunderstood animals on Earth: lice, tapeworms, flukes, and maggots that can eat a lizard from the inside, and how these lessons help us negotiate our own complicated world. Whether we're learning to adapt to adverse conditions, accept our own limitations, or process new information in an ever-changing landscape—we can be sure a parasite did it first. 
   
    
   
  At once peculiar and profound, Life Lessons from a Parasite makes a case for using knowledge of the natural world, with all its wonderful mysteries and quirks, to tackle our worst problems.
