Sinopse

'Candy Candy' delves into the fascinating intersection of human biology, psychology, and our enduring attraction to sweet foods, offering a comprehensive exploration of why we struggle with sugar cravings in the modern world. The book masterfully weaves together evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology to explain how our ancient survival mechanisms continue to influence our relationship with sugary treats today.

 
Through three main sections, the book first examines our body's biochemical responses to sugar, including detailed insights into glucose metabolism and insulin dynamics. The narrative then progresses into the psychological realm, revealing how dopamine reward systems, originally designed to ensure survival, now operate in an environment of unprecedented sugar availability. Particularly intriguing is the book's examination of how our foraging ancestors' reliance on sweet tastes as indicators of safe, calorie-dense foods continues to influence our modern eating behaviors.

 
The final section offers practical strategies for managing sugar consumption while acknowledging our biological predispositions. What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, combining findings from endocrinology, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology with accessible explanations and relevant case studies. For readers interested in understanding their complex relationship with sweet foods, the book provides both scientific insight and practical applications, all while maintaining a balanced, evidence-based perspective that avoids sensationalism.

EATING DISORDERS FOOD ADDICTION...

Marty Lerner Ph.D

Food Addiction and Ulta-Processed Food Dependency are diseases typified by loss of control over the ability to stop eating certain foods. Scientifically, food addiction is a cluster of chemical dependencies on specific foods or food substances. After ingesting highly palatable foods, such as those containing significant amounts of sugar, flour, excess fat, and/or salt, some people’s brains crave these foods. In addition, the more processed a food or substance is, the greater its addictive potential. Over time, the progressive eating of these foods distorts a person’s thinking and leads to negative consequences they do not want but cannot stop. What follows is a description of these phenomena and how they are like and different from eating disorders. Further, the book explores the utilization of a substance abuse treatment model as it applies to recovering from these addictive and compulsive disorders.

Moving Target: The Art of Online...

Dean Mauro

You reuse passwords. You click links without thinking. You accepted a connection request last week from someone you don't quite remember meeting. You have done at least one of these things in the past thirty days, and so has almost every person you know.

This book is about what happens next.

Moving Target: The Art of Online Camouflage follows Stevie Parker, a composite character built from the real experiences of people whose lives collided with cybercrime. Across twelve chapters, Stevie makes the same small, ordinary mistakes most of us make every day while real crime stories play out alongside her, sourced from FBI briefings, ransomware negotiators, fraud victims, and the criminals themselves.

This is not an IT book. This is a crime book.

The criminals in these pages are not mysterious hackers in hoodies. They are organized crime syndicates running businesses with quotas, shift changes, HR departments, and performance reviews. They have studied you longer than you have studied them.

Dean Mauro, host of Cyber Crime Junkies on YouTube, FBI InfraGard member, and VP of Growth at NetGain Technologies, has spent years sitting across from people who just found out. This book is everything he wished someone had told them before that conversation happened.

You do not need to become a cybersecurity expert. You do not need to build Fort Knox. You just need to stop being the easiest target on the street. The basics work. Camouflage works. And by the end of this book, Stevie Parker is out of range.

Now it is your turn.

Book One of The Moving Target Trilogy. Narrated by the author.
