    Many people believe grieving is only something we do when somebody we care about dies. But there are many other reasons why we grieve. Smaller but similarly serious sorrows can include the loss of a job, a broken relationship, unmet expectations, frustration or disappointment because of failure, and so much more. 
      
    Two other subjects will also be discussed in this book. The first relates to handling PTSD in your marital relationship. If you are married to someone who has a traumatic disorder, there are many pieces of advice that can help you deal with that person and these side effects better. Another topic heavily emphasized in this book, is what’s called “survivor’s guilt.” It relates to people who have seen others die and wonder why they are still alive. Even though they might not be the cause of the other people’s deaths, they still have a feeling of guilt that tells them they got lucky and may feel they don’t deserve to be alive more than any other individual. This can be a real problem and can cause PTSD. 
      
    If any of these topics interest you, then I encourage you to start reading or listening to this book right now!

    About The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung 
    In his best-selling book, The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an original and well-supported theory of obesity that provides brand-new insights into proper nutrition and how weight loss is a function of hormones, not of exercise or calories in and out. Dr. Fung focuses primarily on insulin, a powerful hormone that regulates our metabolism. When insulin levels are high for too long, we develop "insulin resistance." This makes us fat. 
    Dr. Fung explores the latest scientific research into nutrition and obesity in a straightforward and accessible way and, more importantly, gives his readers step-by-step advice on how to lose weight and reboot their health. 
    Please note that this summary is NOT the original book and is meant to be read as a supplement to the original.

    The classic “compelling defense of free speech against its new enemies” now in an expanded edition with a foreword by George F. Will (Kirkus Reviews). 
     
    “A liberal society stands on the proposition that we should all take seriously the idea that we might be wrong. This means we must place no one, including ourselves, beyond the reach of criticism; it means that we must allow people to err, even where the error offends and upsets, as it often will.” So writes Jonathan Rauch in Kindly Inquisitors, which has challenged readers for decades with its provocative analysis of attempts to limit free speech. In it, Rauch makes a persuasive argument for the value of “liberal science” and the idea that conflicting views produce knowledge within society. 
     
    In this expanded edition of Kindly Inquisitors, a new foreword by George F. Will explores the book’s continued relevance, while a substantial new afterword by Rauch elaborates upon his original argument and brings it fully up to date. Two decades after the book’s initial publication, the regulation of hate speech has grown both domestically and internationally. But the answer to prejudice, Rauch argues, is pluralism—not purism.  
     
    Rather than attempting to legislate bias and prejudice out of existence, we must pit them against one another to foster a more vigorous and fruitful discussion. It is this process, Rauch argues, that will enable our society to replace hate with knowledge, both ethical and empirical.
