    Meet the Boxheads. They’re the family of the new millennium. The Boxheads have many funny situations as they explore their new surroundings and meet new friends at the local mall. Come along with them to learn about morals, good manners, and how to be a true friend through problem-solving. The Boxheads saga will continue with their unique methods of teaching children to love, respect, and have genuine feelings that are motivated by both heart and mind, always using the power of reasoning to weigh both sides, thus coming to the right and most thoughtful conclusions. By keeping the little conscious activated, it keeps an open mind to the good and not-so-good, in time developing character and good conduct. The Boxhead’s personalities reflect the basics of today’s children. Without any further ado, I would like to introduce the Boxheads!

    The Secret Language of Cravings...

    Do you understand what your food cravings are trying to tell you? 
    Are you dealing with an unwanted overeating or binge-eating habit? Have you tried to curb your cravings with diets and restrictive eating plans, only to fail again and again? 
    Consider this: the reason diets haven’t worked for you is that they’re trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.  
    What if your cravings are trying to communicate something important? And what if the way to resolve them is to listen what they have to say? 
    Contrary to what most modern self-help and dieting approaches say, cravings are not a broken part of you that needs to be fixed. The Secret Language of Cravings will help to teach you what those cravings are trying to tell you, and how they are attempting to alert you to your perfect human design. 
    For 30+ years, author Alexandra Amor searched for answers about why she had a persistent overeating habit. All the self-help books she read, all the classes she took, all the therapy she had and all the diets she tried didn’t even begin to solve the problem. In fact, despite all that work and effort, her cravings got worse. 
    Then in 2017, she stumbled across a little-known field of psychology that points us away from the pathologization of our human experience and instead looks toward our innate well-being and perfect human design. After decades of trying to suppress, manage, and dominate her food cravings, Amor instead began to listen to them, and to speak their language. With this, everything changed.  
    If you’d like to resolve your overeating or binge-eating habit once and for all, without willpower or white knuckles, this book will help you do that by teaching you to understand the secret language of cravings.

    Not to Scale - How the Small...

    From research to practical application, Not To Scale explores an influential theory in an accessible way.  
      The dictionary defines "scale" as a range of numbers, used as a system to measure or compare things. We use this concept in every aspect of our lives-it is essential to innovation, helps us weigh options, and shapes our understanding of the impact of our actions. 
      In Not to Scale, Jamer Hunt investigates the complications of scale in the digital age, highlighting an interesting paradox: We now have a world of information at our fingertips, yet ironically the more informed we have become, the more overwhelmed we feel. The global effects of our daily choices (Paper or plastic? Own or lease? Shop local or buy online?) remain difficult for us to comprehend, and solutions to large-scale national and international issues feel inconceivable.  
      Hunt explains how these challenges are intimately tied to a new logic of scale and provides readers with survival skills for the twenty-first century. By taking massive problems and shrinking them down to size, we can use scale to effect positive change and adapt to the modern era. Connecting our smallest decisions to the grand scheme of things, Not to Scale is a fascinating and empowering guide to comprehending and navigating the high stakes often obscured from our view.
