  America has been through the biggest financial crisis since the great Depression, unemployment numbers are frightening, median wages have been flat since the 1970s, and it is common to expect that things will get worse before they get better. Certainly, the multidecade stagnation is not yet over. How will we get out of this mess? One political party tries to increase government spending even when we have no good plan for paying for ballooning programs like Medicare and Social Security. The other party seems to think tax cuts will raise revenue and has a record of creating bigger fiscal disasters than the first. Where does this madness come from?As Cowen argues, our economy has enjoyed low-hanging fruit since the seventeenth century: free land, immigrant labor, and powerful new technologies. But during the last forty years, the low-hanging fruit started disappearing, and we started pretending it was still there. We have failed to recognize that we are at a technological plateau. The fruit trees are barer than we want to believe. That's it. That is what has gone wrong and that is why our politics is crazy.Cowen reveals the underlying causes of our past prosperity and how we will generate it again. This is a passionate call for a new respect of scientific innovations that benefit not only the powerful elites, but humanity as a whole.

  In 1964, for the first time, a group of scientists in Israel managed to isolate and synthesize one of the most controversial molecules from the plant: THC. The characterization of this molecule with therapeutic properties and highly psychoactive effects marked a milestone in the history of the cannabis industry and inspired many to investigate further. 
  The research carried out to date has determined that this plant goes beyond what many might think. It is, indeed, a plant in which a large number of molecules have been identified as having therapeutic properties that can be used to improve the quality of life of many people who need it. Moreover, although the scientific niche in the world continues to research the benefits that cannabis can offer to humans, the advances offer a range of possibilities that cement the indisputable affirmation that this plant is beneficial. 
  In this audiobook, you will learn why these molecules of the cannabis plant are and can be effective. In addition, you will discover a system that exists in the human body and of which it is rare to hear of, even in the training of a student in a medical school. You will also learn what your body has in common with the cannabis plant and how the body processes these molecules when its derivatives enter the system. 
  Medical uses of Cannabis invites you to acquire knowledge about the medical and scientific advances that determine the proper use of cannabis to alleviate certain discomforts, symptoms of diseases, disorders, and pathologies. 
  We invite you to discover the evidence that breaks with the scheme and the stigma that has surrounded the plant, learn about the current information that has allowed the therapeutic use of cannabis thanks to education, advances in science, technology, and medicine.

  A pioneer in the field of behavioral science delivers a groundbreaking work that shows how finding your purpose in life leads to better health and overall happiness. 
  Your life is a boat. You need a rudder. But it doesn’t matter how much wind is in your sails if you’re not steering toward a harbor—an ultimate purpose in your life. 
  While the greatest philosophers have pondered purpose for centuries, today it has been shown to have a concrete impact on our health. Recent studies into Alzheimer’s, heart disease, stroke, depression, functional brain imaging, and measurement of DNA repair are shedding new light on how and why purpose benefits our lives. 
  Going beyond the fads, opinions, and false hopes of “expert” self-help books, The Science of Purpose explores the incredible connection between purposeful living and the latest scientific evidence on quality of life and longevity. Drawing on ancient and modern philosophy, literature, psychology, evolutionary biology, genetics, and neuroscience, as well as his experience in public health research, Dr. Vic Strecher reveals the elements necessary for a purposeful life and how to acquire them, and outlines an elegant strategy for improving energy, willpower, and long-term happiness, and well-being. He integrates these core themes into his own personal story—a tragedy that led him to reconsider his own life—and how a deeper understanding of purposeful living helped him not only survive, but thrive. 
  Illuminating, accessible, and authentically grounded in real people’s experiences, The Science of Purpose is essential reading for everyone seeking lasting improvement in their lives.
