  Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-style designer, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living.  
    
  Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong.  
    
  When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of ""me too"" as opposed to ""you should."" He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.

  You've heard the advice: If you want to live longer, eat healthy foods and exercise daily. But there's a third piece of the puzzle, and it can add ten to fifteen years to your life. 
   
   
   
  It's been right under your nose this whole time—literally. 
   
   
   
  Your mouth is the gateway to your body and is the most critical organ for improving your health, from childhood onward. Your mouth is a window into the health of your body as a whole; from its microbiome to its structure, it impacts your physical and mental wellness in countless ways. 
   
     
    
  Unfortunately, the mouth-body connection has been largely neglected by American medicine . . . until now. 
   
   
    
  In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Hoss connects the dots between oral health and whole-body health, offering a roadmap to a longer, more successful future for you and your family. 
   
    
    
  This isn't a book about brushing and flossing—or any of the advice you get from your dentist. Instead, you'll hear about how to protect your mouth's microbiome, the effect of diet, the relationship between oral structure and sleep problems, how to breathe better, and more. 
   
   
    
  If your mouth could talk, it would tell you about the condition of your entire life. Time to start listening.

  How You Say It - Why You Talk...

  From “one of the most brilliant young psychologists of her generation” (Paul Bloom), a groundbreaking examination of how speech causes some of our deepest social divides—and how it can help us overcome them.   We gravitate toward people like us; it’s human nature. Race, class, and gender shape our social identities, and thus who we perceive as “like us” or “not like us”. But one overlooked factor can be even more powerful: the way we speak. As the pioneering psychologist  Katherine Kinzler reveals in How You Say It, the way we talk is central to our social identity because our speech largely reflects the voices we heard as children. We can change how we speak to some extent, whether by “code-switching” between dialects or learning a new language; over time, your speech even changes to reflect your evolving social identity and aspirations. But for the most part, we are forever marked by our native tongue—and are hardwired to prejudge others by theirs, often with serious consequences. Your accent alone can determine the economic opportunity or discrimination you encounter in life, making speech one of the most urgent social-justice issues of our day. Our linguistic differences present challenges, Kinzler shows, but they also can be a force for good. Humans can benefit from being exposed to multiple languages —a paradox that should inspire us to master this ancient source of tribalism, and rethink the role that speech plays in our society.  Narrated by multiple Audie and Earphones Award winner Andi Arndt is the narrator of hundreds of audiobooks in fiction and non-fiction, and a member of the Audible Narrator Hall of Fame.

  In recent years, the popularity of natural remedies has surged, with more and more people turning to herbal supplements, essential oils, superfoods, and alternative therapies as an alternative to conventional medicine. In a world where many are seeking healthier, more holistic ways to care for their bodies, natural remedies often seem like the solution to various health issues. The promise of a natural, side-effect-free way to heal is undeniably appealing. But, as we dive into the world of natural healing, it’s essential to ask: How much of this is rooted in truth, and how much is driven by the allure of unproven claims? 
    
  The shift toward natural remedies isn’t just a modern trend. It’s a return to ancient practices that have been used for thousands of years, from herbal medicine in ancient civilizations to the teachings of indigenous cultures who relied on the earth’s offerings for healing. Yet, despite their long history, the benefits of many natural remedies are still being researched and debated by scientists and health professionals. While some have proven their worth through rigorous studies and centuries of use, others remain shrouded in mystery or are often based on myths that have persisted through time. 
    
  This book aims to peel back the layers of misinformation, misconceptions, and unsubstantiated claims surrounding natural remedies. We’ll explore the science behind these remedies, uncover the potential dangers, and provide insight into which natural treatments are actually backed by evidence. By examining both the pros and cons of using natural remedies, we aim to give you a balanced and honest perspective on their effectiveness and safety. It’s crucial to understand that while nature has much to offer, it’s not a magical cure-all, and in some cases, it can pose risks when misused.

  Freud - Inventor of the Modern Mind

  Sigmund Freud’s life bridged the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and his reputation and influence have endured, even intensified, in the twenty-first. Often referred to as “the father of psychoanalysis,” Freud did, in fact, conceive of many of its defining characteristics: he was the original advocate of the “talking cure,” and discovered--or, some argue, invented--the human unconscious.  
  Kramer’s take on Freud is at once critical and sympathetic: he recognizes what is archaic in Freud’s work and also what endures, interpreting him as not only a pioneer, but a writer whose work will survive among the classics of our literature.
