The Youth Formula - Outsmart...

Naveen Jain

Take a deep breath and imagine living in a world where aging and illness are truly optional.
What if, aging was a matter of the choices we make every day and not a matter of bad luck? What if, with each passing year, your body remains in peak shape or, better yet, continues to improve? Picture this: you experience a thirty-year-old's vitality and intellectual sharpness into your nineties and beyond.
This is no longer simply a nice idea. It's fast becoming a reality thanks to the pioneering efforts of one entrepreneur known for tackling and achieving "moonshots," or seemingly impossible goals. In 2017, Naveen Jain set his sights on humanity's most daunting challenge yet: the epidemic of aging and disease.
According to the latest statistics on chronic disease, 74 percent of us will die earlier than we have to from an avoidable disease. Obesity rates have tripled globally, and people are getting sicker at younger ages. The great news is that we can reverse these trends thanks to technological breakthroughs and live into a bright new future.
Jain wondered why, in an era of abundance, where more people are pursuing longevity and optimal health, the majority are achieving the opposite. His team of top scientists are taking "aging and illness optional" from rally cry to reality.
In The Youth Formula, you'll discover:Why your DNA is not your destiny or a key predictor of longevityHow to tap into precision health tools to stay healthy longerHow to avoid disease, boost energy, and maintain lifelong wellness
This is a must-read for anyone aspiring to take control of their health in an era when misinformation amplifies confusion and makes well-being seem elusive.
Avoid aging and disease and live a longer, healthier life—starting today!

Straight Flush - The True Story...

Anonymous

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires and Bringing Down the House—the sources for the films The Social Network and 21— comes the larger-than-life true tale of a group of American college buddies who brilliantly built a billion-dollar online poker colossus based out of the hedonistic paradise of Costa Rica.
One problem: the U.S. Department of Justice was gunning for them. . . .
Based on extensive insider interviews and participation, acclaimed author Ben Mezrich's Straight Flush tells the captivating rags-to-riches tale of a group of University of Montana frat brothers who turned a weekly poker game in the basement of a local dive bar into AbsolutePoker.com, one of the largest online companies in the world, on par with some of the behemoths of the Internet. At its height, Absolute Poker was an online empire earning more than a million dollars a day, following savvy business strategy and even better luck. Its founders set up their operations in the exotic jungle paradise of Costa Rica, embracing an outrageous lifestyle of girls, parties, and money.
Meanwhile, the gray area of U.S. and international law in which the company operated was becoming a lot more risky, and soon the U.S. Department of Justice had placed a bull's-eye on Absolute Poker. Should they fold—or double down and ride their hot hand? Impossible to put down, Straight Flush is an exclusive, never-before-seen look behind the headlines of one of the wildest business stories of the past decade.
