  Why this holiday season is a great time to rethink the traditional turkey feast 
   
   
   
  A turkey is the centerpiece of countless Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Yet most of us know almost nothing about today's specially bred, commercially produced birds. In this brief book, bestselling author Peter Singer tells their story—and, unfortunately, it's not a happy one. Along the way, he also offers a brief history of the turkey and its consumption, ridicules the annual US presidential "pardon" of a Thanksgiving turkey, and introduces us to "a tremendously handsome, outgoing, and intelligent turkey" named Cornelius. Above all, Singer explains how we can improve our holiday tables—for turkeys, people, and the planet—by liberating ourselves from the traditional turkey feast. In its place, he encourages us to consider trying a vegetarian alternative—or just serving the side dishes that many people already enjoy far more than turkey. Consider the Turkey will make you reconsider what you serve for your next holiday meal—or even tomorrow's dinner.

  Anger Management for Parents...

  What brought you to this recording was probably something specific. 
  A moment earlier today, or yesterday, or last week. A moment when you heard yourself yelling at your own child. When you used a tone you swore you would never use. When you saw a look on your child's face that you cannot stop replaying in your head. 
  And then the moment passed, and you were left standing there, looking at your child, and you knew. You had become the parent you swore you would never be. 
  Hear me clearly. 
  You are not a monster. You are not a bad parent. You are someone who loves their child desperately, and who keeps having moments when something inside takes over and behaves in ways that horrify you. 
  That gap between the parent you want to be and the parent you sometimes become is one of the most painful things a human being can carry. The shame of parental rage is unlike almost any other shame, because the witness to your worst moments is the person you love most in the world. 
  The reason willpower has failed you is not because you are weak. It is because parental rage almost never lives in the conscious mind. By the time you are yelling, your prefrontal cortex has gone offline. Your nervous system is operating on autopilot, running a pattern your body learned long before this moment, often before you were even old enough to remember. 
  You cannot use willpower in a state where the willpower part of your brain is offline. You can only change the body's pattern by reaching the layer where it lives. That is the subconscious. That is where this program goes. 
  For the next four hours you will not be lectured. You will not be shamed. You will be guided gently into the deeply relaxed state where your subconscious opens, and 200 carefully crafted affirmations will begin to retrain your nervous system at the level your reactivity actually fires.

  The Harm Reduction Gap - Helping...

  This book teaches how harm reduction can be a safety net for people with substance use disorders that our current addiction treatment rejects, abandons, and leaves behind. 
   
   
   
  Harm reduction is an approach to helping people who engage in high-risk activities to develop the skills and strategies to keep them and their communities safe. This can include the provision of sterile equipment, low-threshold and low-barrier care, and the acceptance of non-abstinence goals in treatment. In this novel guide, Dr. Vakharia discusses the shortcomings of the dominant "Just Say No" drug prevention messages and abstinence-only treatment approaches, introduces harm reduction strategies and technologies borne from people who use drugs themselves, and suggests various policy options available as alternatives to the current policies that criminalize drugs, drug-using equipment, and the settings in which people use drugs. The final chapter calls on the listener to destigmatize drug use and support efforts to reform our drug policies. 
   
   
   
  By highlighting the large gap in our current approach to substance use—the harm reduction gap—this book is the first step for those interested in learning more about the limitations of our current approach to drug use and how to support local efforts to ensure people who use drugs and their communities can stay safe.
