    2025 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS GOLD WINNER 
    “A Book of Balance should be read by every architect, engineer, manager, leader, and anyone with authority in the creation of our modern world... Everyone can benefit from this book and the ancient wisdom it offers."" — Garden Marcus, author of How to Grow 
    “A Book of Balance provides essential natural wisdom from the past to help us live more fully in the present so we can save our planet’s future. These indigenous teachings make for a powerful read.”— Patrick McDonnell, creator of Heart to Heart with the Dalai Lama 
    We all need answers for how to live our best lives. We want to settle our souls. 
    For centuries, the Kogi have lived in seclusion in Colombia’s remote Sierra Nevadas, known as “the heart of the world.” Now a few emissaries from the tribe have emerged to bring an urgent and loving message to the West—advice on how to live in harmony with the earth. 
    Lucas Buchholz was invited to their home to receive and transcribe this message and guidance. A Book of Balance takes us on a journey into a startlingly beautiful landscape and into a sacred fireside circle where members consider key questions, including:What Did You Plant? What Did You Harvest?How Will We Pass the Knowledge On to Our Children?What Does It Mean to the World That I Am Here? 
    In this slim volume of spiritual introspection, they ask us to share in their practice, posing nine questions that focus our minds and hearts on who we are, who we can become. 
    A beautiful book to own, to share with friends, and discuss in community. For readers of The Book of Hygge and Ikigai—books that bring the wisdom of other cultures to our own.

    Childhood Obesity - Causes...

    Childhood obesity is a growing public health problem involving excessive accumulation of body fat in children and adolescents. This condition is one of the most pressing concerns today, given its substantial impact on the health and well-being of younger generations. This chapter will discuss the definition and prevalence of childhood obesity, as well as highlight the importance of the topic in the context of public health.Definition and Prevalence of Childhood ObesityChildhood obesity is characterized by excess body weight that is associated with health risks. It is often assessed using the body mass index (BMI), which takes into account the relationship between weight and height. When the BMI of a child or adolescent is above the established limits for their age group, they are considered obese. However, it is worth mentioning that childhood obesity is not just an aesthetic problem, but a health issue that is closely linked to a number of medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders.The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased dramatically in recent decades. It has become a global phenomenon, affecting both developed and developing countries. The transition from less healthy eating patterns, combined with a sedentary lifestyle and constant exposure to ultra-processed foods , contributed to the spread of this problem. Childhood obesity rates vary by region and population, but in many places, the numbers are alarming and indicate a public health crisis.Importance of the Topic and Its Relevance to Public HealthChildhood obesity should not be underestimated as its implications go far beyond individual health concerns. It has a profound impact on communities, health systems and the broader economy. Obese children are at greater risk of becoming obese adults , increasing the chances of developing debilitating and costly chronic diseases. This puts a significant strain on healthcare systems, consuming valuable resources that could be allocated elsewhere.In addition, childhood obesity also influences social and emotional issues. Obese children often face discrimination, bullying and low self-esteem , which can hinder their psychosocial development. This can have lasting effects throughout life, affecting quality of life and productive participation in society.In light of these challenges, addressing childhood obesity has become a global priority. The need for effective preventive interventions, nutritional education programs, promotion of physical activity and changes in public policies is crucial to reverse this worrying trend. This book will explore these issues in detail, providing insights into the underlying causes, consequences , and multidisciplinary approaches that can be taken to tackle the childhood obesity epidemic comprehensively and effectively.
