  Living every day with zest hinges on following ten principles which apply equally to everyone. No matter how much money you have, your level of education, occupation, age, or where you live – the principles work if you stick with them. Their roots have been established over generations and stress-tested during times of war, prosperity, triumph, and adversity. Begin living more zestfully. It's never too late to start. 
    
  Author Kalman Magyar has a remarkably eccentric skill set and atypical background. He is an international business lawyer and professor with over two decades of wide-ranging experience in courtrooms, boardrooms and classrooms throughout the United States and Canada. He is also a renowned Hungarian folk musician who has appeared in the world's most prominent performing venues and obscurest ethnic community halls. 
    
  Kalman guides you through his unusual personal history while decoding his ten principles for a zestful life. The adventure begins with his family's ordeals in war-ravaged Hungary. It continues as a first-generation immigrant in New Jersey. Valuable lessons are drawn from Kalman's unconventional development in the legal and musical fields. The odyssey is far from smooth, with failures, challenges and missteps along the way. These experiences form the genesis of the principles that collectively provide a blueprint for living zestfully. All day, every day. 
    
  Married with three children, Kalman splits his time between Toronto, Ontario and Naples, Florida. Kalman also takes frequent trips to Budapest, Hungary, the land of his ancestors where his journey begins.

  My Oxford - A Memoir

  Catherine Haines

  Written for the sister of a man who died from anorexia, this is a young woman's experience of the disorder while studying at the University of Oxford. Catherine Haines' lively account of student life is enriched with literary, philosophical and existential questions. As the Cambridge Weight Plan spins out of control, a post-graduate's academic subject, 'the mind-body problem', goes through an existential phase to become 'extraordinary morality' rather than a mental health problem. The iron will with which Catherine imposes on herself ever more onerous conditions is awe-inspiring. The author is clearly fiercely intelligent, as we can see from the way she exposes the ugly truth behind historical depictions of women with eating disorders and indeed the way society frames abstinence from food as an ally of virtue. However, starving her body means that Catherine also begins to starve her brain. Incisive literary criticism of Hamlet descends into feverish noodlings about Einstein's theory of relativity. Her descriptions enfold the reader in the hideous illogic of the anorexic. This is a rigorous, philosophical case for regarding an eating disorder as pilgrimage. My Oxford is a personal exorcism, the kind which writers perform on paper while fighting with demons, fears, fate and death, an exorcism which, while painful, is also saving.

  An examination of the barriers facing Indigenous people within the healthcare system from the perspective of an empathetic settler physician 
  After leaving her medical practice in Pennsylvania in 2011, Jarol Boan returned to her childhood home in Saskatchewan, Canada to practice medicine. There she found a healthcare system struggling with preventable chronic diseases and institutional racism. Shocked by the high rate of preventable diseases in her patients, Boan realized that a paternalistic deficit model does not support Indigenous communities. Through working to provide medical services in Indigenous communities and learning firsthand from her Indigenous patients, Boan embarked on a road to enlightenment and reconciliation. 
  In The Medicine Chest, Boan exposes the healthcare disparities in a country that prides itself on an equitable healthcare system and examines the devastating effects of diabetes, the myth of “the drunken Indian,” the inner workings of hospitals, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, epidemics on reserves, and residential school trauma. Exploring the intersectionality of common diseases and social determinants of health gained from her experience of caring for Indigenous patients, Boan weaves historical data, comments on health policy, and jurisdictional gaps into the narrative while investigating how Canada’s healthcare system is failing those most in need.
