    Summary:
    A pioneering physician reveals how childhood stress can lead to lifelong health problems and shows us what we can do to break the cycle. Two-thirds of us have experienced at least one adverse childhood experience, or ACE, such as abuse, neglect, parental substance dependence, or mental illness. Even though these events may have occurred long ago, they have the power to haunt us long into adulthood, and now we have found that they may even contribute to lifelong illness. Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, the founder/CEO of the Center for Youth Wellness and recipient of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine Award, expands on similar topics as in her popular TED talk as she demystifies the connection between adversity and ill health. After surveying more than 17,000 adult patients, she found that the higher a person's ACE score, the worse their health. This led Burke Harris to an astonishing breakthrough - childhood stress changes our neural systems, and its impact lasts a lifetime. Through vivid storytelling that combines both scientific insight with deeply moving stories about her patients and their families, Burke Harris illuminates her journey of discovery from the academy to her own pediatric practice in San Francisco's poverty-ridden Bayview Hunters Point. She reroots the story of childhood trauma and its aftermath in science to help listeners see themselves and others more clearly. For anyone who has faced a difficult childhood or who cares about the millions of children who do, the innovative and acclaimed health interventions outlined in the The Deepest Well represents vitally important hope for change.

    Summary:
    From the New York Times best-selling author of Chasing the Scream, a radically new way of thinking about depression and anxiety. What really causes depression and anxiety - and how can we really solve them? Award-winning journalist Johann Hari suffered from depression since he was a child and started taking antidepressants when he was a teenager. He was told that his problems were caused by a chemical imbalance in his brain. As an adult, trained in the social sciences, he began to investigate whether this was true - and he learned that almost everything we have been told about depression and anxiety is wrong. Across the world, Hari found social scientists who were uncovering evidence that depression and anxiety are not caused by a chemical imbalance in our brains. In fact, they are largely caused by key problems with the way we live today. Hari's journey took him from a mind-blowing series of experiments in Baltimore, to an Amish community in Indiana, to an uprising in Berlin. Once he had uncovered nine real causes of depression and anxiety, they led him to scientists who are discovering seven very different solutions - ones that work. It is an epic journey that will change how we think about one of the biggest crises in our culture today.

    Summary:
    Are you happy? I mean do you feel really happy and fulfilled with all areas of your life? Are you waking up with a purpose, with a goal, and with tons of energy to start your day? Do you procrastinate? Do you get a feeling of not wanting to do something that you know is good for you? Do you sometimes feel like you are your own worst enemy? Do you feel lost and lack confidence in yourself? Do you ever feel like you just aren’t good enough? It's ok. You aren't alone, and it's not your fault. We are all pre-programmed to focus our attention on the negative. It’s true, and there is scientific proof that the brain has a pre-programmed negativity bias. It’s very good at learning from bad experiences, but very bad at learning from good experiences. An entire day of good experiences can be completely wiped away by one bad experience. Why do we process our thoughts like this? The reason for this is called cellular memory. Cellular memory (as the name implies) is basically the memory that resides inside the cells within the body. That’s right; every single one of the cells in your body actually has a memory of its own. Each of the cells within the body actually stores reserves of information related to past experiences (both positive and negative) within their memory. Once a cell stores a memory from a negative experience, it will relapse and recreate negative-related experiences. This is often the reason why someone who beats cancer will experience a relapse. The same is true of those who suffer from addiction or any other type of disease. Are you ready to do whatever it takes to reformat your cellular memory so you can achieve lasting happiness and success in every area of your life? If so, then you’ve come to the right place. In just one week you will be able to:

    Summary:
    Today's culture teaches us the importance of mental toughness, emotional resilience, and overall grit. The ability to persevere in the midst of challenging circumstances can mean the difference between a person being successful in life and living a life full of pain and struggle. Regardless of how talented, intelligent, socially well-adjusted and capable someone is, he or she is powerless without having honed the ability to endure hardship and adversity. No one knows more about how to achieve these strengths than the Stoics of Ancient Greece and Rome. In fact, cognitive behavioral therapy - thought to be the most effective way to treat emotional and mental disorders - is based on the beliefs of Stoicism. Psychotherapy is above all a philosophical pursuit rooted in traditions both ancient and modern. It uses rational thought exercises to overcome emotionally overwhelming situations. The same logical thought processes used in cognitive behavioral therapy to treat debilitating mental conditions can be used to fortify your emotions on a day-to-day basis. By learning the values of Stoicism and practicing them in your daily life, you can teach yourself to strengthen your emotional fortitude so that you can take on any challenge you may find yourself facing in life. Even great losses contain lessons within them. By practicing the virtues and coping methods of the Stoic philosophy, you will become skilled in seeing and benefiting from those lessons rather than allowing loss and adversity to consume you.
