Summary

In the past century, the leading causes of death around the world have shifted from infectious diseases to long-term chronic illnesses. What’s killing us today isn’t so much flu or tuberculosis, but heart disease and cancer. Paradoxically, these chronic diseases are a consequence of living longer than ever. But even if we’re living longer, are we living better? The overwhelming number of people now living under the burden of chronic illness indicates otherwise.  Live Younger Longer outlines six steps to preserving health while also extending life. The secret lies not just in the steps themselves but in how you accomplish them. To live younger longer, we need to change our habits. But it’s not necessary to make big life changes or summon depths of will power; in fact, evidence shows that these tactics don’t really work. What you need instead is an open mind, some creativity and a commitment to living your life at its fullest.   In this book, Stephen Kopecky, M.D., offers his insights on:   The best foods to eat and whyGetting the most fitness in the least amount of timeWhy your sleep habits matterThe dangers of stress and what to do about themHow to make changes that will last a lifetime   Dr. Kopecky speaks from experience. As a young man just starting his family and his career, he survived cancer not once but twice. Since then, Dr. Kopecky has dedicated himself to discovering what it is that will keep him alive and healthy for as long as possible. In this book, he shares what he’s learned — through research, care for his patients and his own experiences.

    Friends are there for us. They join our life's adventures and play with us. They bring us comfort, sometimes the only small pleasure we have, in troubled times. They bring us the gift--and the pleasure--of understanding. Susannah Seton sent out a call for stories about friendship and these are the themes that emerged. They form the backbone of this newest addition to her Simple Pleasures series.Dipping into this book is like dunking cookies in milk with your best friend. You'll share stories from childhood. Take a walk together and then enjoy a peppermint footbath--recipe herein! From shopping trips to poker parties--these stories will inspire you. And make you laugh and make you cry and make you want to call an old friend just because. Or make a play date for an at-home movie night--complete with Parmesan popcorn, recipe within.Dubbed the "antidote to Martha Stewart" by Booklist, Seton delights with her uniquely heartwarming approach to simplifying and slowing down to enjoy each day. Here, she has lovingly organized a guidebook to the joys of "friending" with stories, heirloom recipes, gift ideas, and inspirational quotes. Be inspired to give a friend a handmade cookbook, with room for a growing collection of recipes shared together. Or start an Eyelash Club of your own. Create handmade gifts. Cry--and then laugh--over missing wedding dresses and a St. Joseph statue buried upside down to sell a house. Share spa recipes for scrubs, soaps, and salts.Uncomplicated and eloquent, Susannah Seton has written a touching reminder that friendships are one of the prime ingredients in a life well lived.

    Are we moving toward a more ethical future? Here Matousek discusses universal human ethics He points out that ethics may be a minefield of opposing ideologies, special interest and temperamental proclivities. The good news is that humans are hardwired to care for one another, have a sense of justice and fairness, and share a sense of group loyalty as well a programmed for sacredness and purity.

    Logic is synonymous with reason, judgment, sense, wisdom, and sanity. Being logical is the ability to create concise and reasoned arguments — arguments that build from given premises, using evidence, to a genuine conclusion. But mastering logical thinking also requires studying and understanding illogical thinking, both to sharpen one's own skills and to protect against incoherent or deliberately misleading reasoning.Elegant, pithy, and precise, Being Logical breaks logic down to its essentials through clear analysis, accessible examples, and focused insights. D. Q. McInerny covers the sources of illogical thinking, from naïve optimism to narrow-mindedness, before dissecting the various tactics — red herrings, diversions, and simplistic reasoning — the illogical use in place of effective reasoning.An indispensable guide to using logic to advantage in everyday life, this is a concise, accessible audiobook. Created explicitly for the layperson, McInerny's Being Logical promises to take its place beside Strunk and White's The Elements of Style as a classic of lucid, invaluable advice.

    The award-winning interior designer teaches you how to make your home truly your own—from function and flow to color and mood—in this unique guide. 
 
Our homes are so much more than just walls, windows, and floors. They exemplify who we are. We wear our homes like we wear haute couture—and put them on display for all to see. In Do I Look Skinny in This House?, celebrity interior designer Kelli Ellis shows you how to use the principles of design psychology to turn your home into your ideal haven—an extension of yourself.  
 
To design your home in a meaningful way, you need to start with the “why” rather than the “how.” Knowing why you adore certain colors, styles, and decor is so much more important than knowing where to place furniture in a room. Understanding the principles that create ambiance, feeling, and mood in your home are key to creating your ideal haven. 
 
With the inspiration and framework Kelli provides, you’ll be able to reimagine your home with all the joy, fulfillment, and contentment you seek.

    Despite appearances, most of us are not truly in control of our own minds. We think we are because we basically have the ability to decide what we want to think about and how we want to act, but this only happens when we consciously make the decision to do that. It only happens when we’re mindful of our thoughts and of our emotions. 
The rest of the time however, we are simply free-wheeling and reacting. We don’t give much thought to how we’re thinking or what we’re focussed on and as such, our minds have a way of running away with us. For instance, you might be walking through a beautiful, scenic location with friends and really you should be in a very happy mood and enjoying yourself. 
But instead, you’re actually just stressed and angry because you can’t stop thinking about work. As a result, you don’t enjoy your experience and actually it’s pretty bad for your health. But you don’t think about the role your own mind has in this – instead you blame your job. You act like a passive victim with no ability to decide what you will focus on. 
Likewise, we will sometimes come home and feel tired and completely devoid of motivation when really we should be focussed and engaged – so we can work out, work on side projects, tidy our homes or do any of the other things that we’re constantly telling ourselves (and other people!) that we’re going to do. 
Sometimes we will have difficulty getting to sleep because we can’t stop thinking about the tasks that lie ahead. 
So the question in all these scenarios becomes: how do you go about getting back in charge of your thoughts? How can you decide to stop letting emotions run away with you? 
This course will teach you the Power of Controlling Your Thoughts and Emotions so that you can live a more meaningful and empowered life.
