  The Apothecary's Wife - The...

  The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments—and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century. 
   
   
   
  Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today's global for-profit medication system. A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary's Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine's values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.

  Many never find happiness at work. Will you? 
  Why are so many people unhappy at work, if they choose the work they do? After teaching as a professor at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Ivey Business School in Canada, Bryan Hong shares his observations based on hundreds of conversations with his students before and after graduation. 
  Although many don't realize it, unhappiness at work is a consequence of the way we've designed our society, especially our education system. Rather than prepare us for genuine success and happiness in life, most of us are never told what we need to know to answer even our most basic life questions. In this book, Dr. Hong shares what everyone who wants to be happier at work-and in life-should know. The first step begins with the most important lesson so many of us never learn in school: We must evolve to our true purpose. 
  In this book, the author explores:How our society works to shape us in ways that will never lead to happiness at workWhat it truly means to have a strong sense of purpose at work, and why we all need it for a life beyond survival and pleasureHow we can evolve to purpose in a world where so many work without it 
  What if there was much more to your life than what you've been told?

  You love your children. 
  But sometimes you yell. 
  You do not plan to. You do not want to. And afterward, the guilt feels worse than the moment itself. 
  If you feel trapped in the yelling and guilt cycle, this audiobook will help you understand why it keeps happening and what actually changes it. 
  In The Peaceful Parenting Solution, licensed clinical social worker Devora Segall explains what is happening inside your nervous system when you overreact. Most parenting advice focuses on children’s behavior. This book addresses the missing piece: emotional regulation in the parent. 
  The problem is not your child. 
  And it is not your love. 
  It is dysregulation. 
  Drawing from decades of clinical experience and practical, evidence-based skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Devora teaches mothers how to regulate themselves in real time, even when their children are not calm. 
  Inside, you will learn how to:Recognize the early signs of overwhelmCatch yourself before escalationCalm your body in the middle of conflictSet clear limits without rupturing connectionBreak patterns you never wanted to pass down 
  This is not about becoming a perfect parent. It is about becoming a regulated one. 
  When parents regulate, homes change. 
  You are not a bad mother. You are an overwhelmed nervous system without the right training. 
  Regulation is a skill. And skills can be learned.
