Coronavirus - News and...

David Rogue

Title 1 - With the world watching the news each day about the infamous COVID-19 Virus, a version of what is more broadly classified as a "Coronavirus," like SARS, it's hard to ignore the facts and the opinions as many economies are being put on hold, stocks are plummeting, businesses are applying for loans, and everyone is encouraged to stay at home. 
But what do we know or suspect so far about the beginnings and the nature of the virus? That's something we will inspect at this time. So go ahead and start reading everything I could find about it. I hope this will help you gain greater insights into what's happening. 
Title 2 - Being stuck at home can be annoying. I watched as my in-laws were eager to hug our children but didn't, just because they wanted to abide by the rules the president of the United States and many other international leaders have set. Some people say they lost their jobs. Others report being sick of one another, not of the virus. Fortunately, I live in a nice-enough home, but I can't imagine how hard it is for some people who live in a small apartment, like the ones I've seen in Tokyo. 
This book shows you some things you should or should not do during the time of being quarantined because of an epidemic or pandemic.

The Cult of Ignorance

Robin Jackson

In an era of unprecedented access to knowledge, why does ignorance thrive? Why do conspiracy theories, science denial, and anti-expert sentiment dominate public discourse? And how did we reach a point where misinformation spreads faster than facts, and critical thinking is treated as an elitist threat? 
From the war on expertise and the rise of conspiracy thinking to the manipulation of public opinion through propaganda and technology, this book reveals the deep-rooted causes of our current crisis. More importantly, it offers a roadmap to reclaim reason, evidence-based discourse, and the intellectual curiosity necessary for a thriving society. 
The Cult of Ignorance is a thought-provoking exploration of the forces fueling modern anti-intellectualism. Drawing from history, psychology, media analysis, and political strategy, this book unpacks how ignorance is not merely a lack of knowledge but a weaponized ideology—one that serves powerful interests, weakens democracy, and threatens societal progress.

The Science of Stress Relief -...

Heinrich Mühlbauer

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Stress is an inevitable part of the human experience, woven into the very fabric of our biological existence. From the moment we wake until we close our eyes at night, our bodies and minds navigate a complex landscape of pressures, demands, and challenges that trigger sophisticated physiological responses honed over millions of years of evolution. Understanding these responses is the first step toward mastering the art of stress management and reclaiming control over our mental and physical well-being.
The stress response begins in the brain, specifically in a small almond-shaped structure called the amygdala. This ancient part of our neural architecture serves as the body's alarm system, constantly scanning our environment for potential threats. When the amygdala perceives danger, whether real or imagined, it sends urgent signals to the hypothalamus, which acts as the command center for the body's stress response system. This communication happens in milliseconds, far faster than our conscious mind can process the situation.
The hypothalamus immediately activates two primary stress response pathways. The first is the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline from the adrenal glands. This creates the familiar "fight or flight" response that causes our heart rate to increase, our breathing to become shallow and rapid, our muscles to tense, and our senses to sharpen. Blood flow is redirected away from non-essential functions like digestion toward the muscles and brain, preparing us for immediate action.

Gut Renovation - Unlock the...

Dr. Roshini Raj

Combining the latest developments and research discoveries, board-certified gastroenterologist and medical host on CNN and Fox News, Dr. Roshini Raj shows the ways in which the microbiome impacts overall well-being, and helps readers reset their biological clocks by improving their gut health.

With one in four Americans suffering from digestive health issues every day, gut health has become an increasingly important part of wellness. With the human body, so many issues can be improved upon, or cured, by balancing the microbiome. But the microbiome—a community of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts that dwell in the body—has long been something that the average person can find baffling—and maybe a little bit gross.
By offering simple and straightforward answers to questions like what one should be eating, what probiotics are, which vitamins and medicines really work, Dr. Raj demystifies the gut. She uses the idea of a home renovation to show how different organs and parts of the body can be “renovated” in order to optimize the microbiome. After all, balancing one’s microbiome improves digestive health, brain function, emotional stability, the body’s response to inflammation, immunity, and lessens premature aging.
Melding the latest developments and discoveries in microbiome research, along with Dr. Raj’s practical tips developed from her years of clinical experience, Gut Renovation shows readers how to turn back the biological clock and revamp the way they live forever.
