Summary

In "The Fasting Cure," Upton Sinclair explores the multifaceted dimensions of fasting, interweaving personal anecdotes with scientific discourse to address the benefits of fasting as a holistic practice for health and rejuvenation. Sinclair employs a conversational yet persuasive literary style, aiming to provoke thought regarding dietary habits in the early 20th century—an era marked by industrialization and increasing consumerism. The book stands as both a guide and a critical commentary on contemporary medical practices, encouraging readers to reconsider their relationship with food and health while offering practical advice grounded in Sinclair's own experiences with fasting. Upton Sinclair, a prominent American novelist and reformer, is widely known for his investigative work and social critiques, most notably "The Jungle." His fascination with nutrition and health reform stemmed from his broader commitment to social justice, revealing the intersections between personal health, industrialized food systems, and consumer health ethics. Sinclair's encounters with chronic illness and his quest for remedies led him to discover the practices he describes in this work, making it a deeply personal exploration of his values and beliefs about well-being. "The Fasting Cure" is highly recommended for readers interested in the nexus of health, food, and social critique. Sinclair's insights not only challenge conventional dietary paradigms but also stimulate vital discussions about individual agency in health. Whether you are a health enthusiast or a casual reader, Sinclair's blend of narrative and advocacy makes this book a thought-provoking read that encourages deeper reflection on the food choices we make.

    This program is read by the author.Part memoir and part social critique, Drinking Games is about how one woman drank and lived— and how, for her, the last drink was just the beginning. On paper, Sarah Levy’s life was on track. She was 28, living in New York City, working a great job, and socializing every weekend. But Sarah had a secret: her relationship with alcohol was becoming toxic. And only she could save herself.Drinking Games explores the role alcohol has in our formative years, and what it means to opt out of a culture completely enmeshed in drinking. It’s an examination of what our short-term choices about alcohol do to our long-term selves and how they challenge our ability to be vulnerable enough to discover what we really want in life. Candid and dynamic, this book speaks to the all-consuming cycle of working hard, playing harder, and trying to look perfect while you’re at it. Sarah takes us by the hand through her personal journey with blackouts, dating, relationships, wellness culture, startups, social media, friendship, and self-discovery. In this intimate and darkly funny memoir, she stumbles through her twenties, explores the impact alcohol has on relationships and identity, and shows us how life’s messiest moments can end up being the most profound.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    HEALTH & HEALING 
DO NOT USE WHILE DRIVINGThe late Dick Sutphen, was a pioneer in the Hypnosis field. America’s foremost psychic researcher, he was also considered to be America’s leading past-life therapist.His subliminal recordings require that you read the information below in order to fully benefit from them and achieve optimal results.Example of Suggestions: Radiant good health is now your reality. Your ever-strengthening immune system keeps you healthy.  You now have the power and ability to accelerate your healing.  Your mind is all powerful and you use it to heal yourself.  You consciously and subconsciously choose perfect health.  You are healing, you are healed.  You now focus the unlimited power of your mind on healing your body. .What you hear is 60 minutes of relaxing, digitally mastered stereo music. Each title uses different music and different suggestions. Listen while you are driving, working, or doing other things. What you don’t hear are the suggestions, which are embedded into the music. Only your subconscious mind will hear the suggestions.What happens?  Because the suggestions are not challenged by your conscious mind, they tend to be accepted by your subconscious mind, although they can’t make you do something you don’t want to do. To be effective, you must be favorable disposed to the programming goal. With repeated listening, the suggestions become new beliefs. Your subconscious mind will then generate the circumstances necessary to match your day-to-day life to your new beliefs. To generate further mental acceptance, you may also use this programming as sleep programming. Simply listen as you fall asleep.Make certain you are fully alert and awake at the end of this session. 
As a specialist in brain/mind technology, Dick instructed medical professionals in how to use his life-changing techniques and was often a featured speaker and trainer at professional hypnosis conferences. Honored with many awards throughout his career, Sutphen was a life-time honor member of the International Hypnosis Federation. His final award was a Lifetime Achievement Humanitarian Award presented to him by the Hypnotherapy Academy in May, 2019.
