Summary

"Walk & Brain Power" explores the connection between short walks and enhanced cognitive abilities, demonstrating how a simple activity can significantly boost brain function. The book delves into the neuroscience behind this phenomenon, explaining how walking stimulates the release of neurotrophic factors, like BDNF, which act as "Miracle-Gro" for the brain, and improve synaptic plasticity. It emphasizes that walking is not just a feel-good activity but a scientifically backed method for optimizing brain health. 

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the basics of cognition and creativity before exploring the physiological mechanisms by which walking affects brain function. It highlights specific cognitive improvements linked to walking, such as enhanced memory and focus, and examines walking's role in fostering creative thought. 

 
Ultimately, the book provides practical strategies for incorporating walking into daily life to maximize cognitive and creative benefits, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their mental well-being.

    Transforming Race Conversations...

    A guide to supporting our emergence from the tight grip of race discomfort. 
     
     
     
    If we are to address the injustice of racism, we need to have the "race conversation." All too often, however, attempts at this conversation are met with silence, denial, anger, or hate. This is largely because the construct of race resides not only in our minds, but principally in the body. In order to have productive conversations about race and racism, a paradigm shift is needed—one which will empower us to remain present and embodied, rather than constricted with fear, regardless of our racial identities. 
     
     
     
    Here, psychotherapist Eugene Ellis explores what is needed for this bodily shift to occur as he unpacks the visceral experience of the race conversation. He offers a trauma-informed, neurophysiological approach that emphasizes resourcing, body awareness, mindfulness, and healing. Transforming Race Conversations is essential for therapy practitioners as well as anyone looking to engage more effectively in the ongoing dialogue around race.

    The Social Contract

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau

    The Social Contract outlines Rousseau's views on political justice, explaining how a just and legitimate state is to be founded, organized and administered. Rousseau sets forth, in his characteristically brazen and iconoclastic manner, the case for direct democracy, while simultaneously casting every other form of government as illegitimate and tantamount to slavery. Often hailed as a revolutionary document which sparked the French Revolution, The Social Contract serves both to inculcate dissatisfaction with actually-existing governments and to allow its readers to envision and desire a radically different form of political and social organization. (Summary by Eric Jonas)
