  “The Nickel Boys” by Colson Whitehead follows the lives of two Black boys, Elwood Curtis and Turner, who are sent to Nickel Academy, a reform school in the 1960s.

Turner, more pragmatic and cynical, focuses on survival. Together, they navigate a system of violence, corruption, and systemic racism. The novel explores themes of trauma, resilience, and the fight for justice within a deeply unjust society, offering a harrowing look at the impact of racial oppression.

  Food Addiction and Ulta-Processed Food Dependency are diseases typified by loss of control over the ability to stop eating certain foods. Scientifically, food addiction is a cluster of chemical dependencies on specific foods or food substances. After ingesting highly palatable foods, such as those containing significant amounts of sugar, flour, excess fat, and/or salt, some people’s brains crave these foods. In addition, the more processed a food or substance is, the greater its addictive potential. Over time, the progressive eating of these foods distorts a person’s thinking and leads to negative consequences they do not want but cannot stop. What follows is a description of these phenomena and how they are like and different from eating disorders. Further, the book explores the utilization of a substance abuse treatment model as it applies to recovering from these addictive and compulsive disorders.

  If you identify as a perfectionist, you may not see your perfectionism as a problem. But striving for unrealistic standards, basing your self-worth on meeting those standards, and engaging in persistent self-criticism will ultimately lead to anxiety, stress, worry, burnout, and unhappiness. So, how can you distinguish between "helpful" and "hurtful" perfectionism and stop holding yourself and others to unrealistically high standards? 
   
   
   
  Written by two clinical psychologists, The Anxious Perfectionist shines a much-needed light on the hidden costs of "being the best," and offers essential skills based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you cope with the anxiety that is driven by your perfectionism. You'll learn how your "need to be perfect" can actually hinder your productivity, and keep you from reaching your goals. You'll also learn skills to help you gain distance from negative self-talk and criticism, let go of unhelpful and self-limiting labels such as "success" or "failure," and give yourself and others permission to make mistakes while still honoring your high aspirations. 
   
   
   
  If you're struggling with feelings of anxiety and stress, and suspect your perfectionism may be to blame, this guide will show you how to stop getting in the way of your own success, and live a life guided by your deepest values.

  In Beyond the Tired: Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, readers will discover a compassionate, thorough exploration of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)—a condition that has left millions feeling exhausted, misunderstood, and often invisible. This comprehensive book delves into the unique challenges faced by those with CFS/ME, blending scientific insights with real-life stories to shed light on one of the most complex and underdiagnosed health conditions in the modern world. 
  Unlike ordinary fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome impacts nearly every aspect of life, causing overwhelming physical and mental exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest. This book explains how CFS manifests and why it's more than just feeling tired. It examines the primary symptoms, from post-exertional malaise to "brain fog," muscle and joint pain, and the severe impacts on the nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems. With sensitivity and clarity, Beyond the Tired gives readers an accessible yet detailed understanding of the symptoms, allowing loved ones and those unfamiliar with the illness to gain valuable insight into the day-to-day experience of CFS/ME sufferers. 
  Whether you're a patient, a loved one, or a healthcare professional, Beyond the Tired is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to better understand chronic fatigue syndrome. This book aims to demystify CFS, bridging the gap between medical science and the lived experience of patients. Through a balanced approach that combines science with empathy, Beyond the Tired ultimately seeks to bring awareness, validation, and hope to everyone touched by this often invisible illness.
