by Prasenjeet Kumar Marcelle CastroSe você já se perguntou se é possível ser saudável sem fazer dietas, seguir modismos alimentares, ingerir alimentos exóticos, injetar hormônios ou tomar pílulas, poções ou suplementos, você chegou ao lugar certo. Na verdade, deixando de lado o risco de soar antiquado, o autor Prasenjeet Kumar (do celebrado website cookinginajiffy.com e autor da série "Como cozinhar qualquer coisa num instante" [no original, "How to Cook Everything in a Jiffy"] declara que ele não acredita que ninguém deva estar permanentemente de dieta para ser saudável. Neste livro, ele recomenda que o leitor não siga nenhuma das dietas um tanto peculiares como a de baixa ingestão de carboidratos e alta ingestão de proteínas, dietas de baixa caloria, dietas veganas (a menos que o leitor de fato acredite na filosofia vegana) ou qualquer tipo de dieta instantânea. Com base em sua própria experiência, ele afirma que tais dietas causam mais danos que benefícios. Em vez disso, o autor recomenda voltar ao básico, ou seja, ter uma dieta equilibrada. Tendo isso em mente, o livro apresenta uma verdadeira cornucópia de receitas fáceis, que o ajudarão a ter uma ideia do que preparar para alcançar a meta de ter uma dieta equilibrada no dia-a-dia. O leitor encontrará ideias de como preparar legumes e verduras de forma simples e gostosa, como preparar receitas com massas, frango, peixe, cordeiro, milk shakes (mesmo para quem não gosta de leite puro), receitas para o café da manhã, almoço e jantar e até alguns pratos asiáticos, para variar um pouco e experimentar algo diferente e empolgante. Talvez o leitor se surpreenda com receitas supostamente "não saudáveis" como, waffles, panquecas, rabanadas, lasanha e moussaka de cordeiro neste livro de receitas "saudáveis". A resposta do autor é curta e simples: o sabor maravilhoso desses pratos nos fazem felizes e ser feliz (cheios de serotonina) é mais do que metade do caminho para ser saudável. Além

The Crack in the Cosmic Egg: New Constructs of Mind and Reality
by Joseph Chilton Pearce Thom HartmannThe classic work that shaped the thought of a generation with its powerful insights into the true nature of mind and reality. • Defines culture as a "cosmic egg" structured by the mind's drive for logical ordering of its universe. • Provides techniques allowing individuals to break through the vicious circle of logic-based systems to attain expanded ways of creative living and learning. The sum total of our notions of what the world is--and what we perceive its full potential to be--form a shell of rational thought in which we reside. This logical universe creates a vicious circle of reasoning that robs our minds of power and prevents us from reaching our true potential. To step beyond that circle requires a centering and focus that today's society assaults on every level. Through the insights of Teilhard, Tillich, Jung, Jesus, Carlos Castaneda, and others, Joseph Chilton Pearce provides a mode of thinking through which imagination can escape the mundane shell of current construct reality and leap into a new phase of human evolution. This enormously popular New Age classic is finally available again to challenge the assumptions of a new generation of readers and help them develop their potential through new creative modes of thinking. With a masterful synthesis of recent discoveries in physics, biology, and psychology, Pearce reveals the extraordinary relationship of mind and reality and nature's blueprint for a self-transcending humanity.

Cracked, Not Broken: Surviving And Thriving After A Suicide Attempt
by Kevin Hines Daniel J. ReidenbergThe Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognizable structures to define a modern city. Yet, for author Kevin Hines the bridge is not merely a marker of a place or a time. Instead, the bridge marks the beginning of his remarkable story. At 19 years old, Kevin attempted to take his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge - a distance which took four seconds to fall. Recently diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, Kevin had begun to hear voices telling him he had to die, and days before his attempt, he began to believe them. The fall would break his body, but not his spirit. His story chronicles the extraordinary will of the author to live mentally well in the face of his mental illness: bipolar disorder with psychotic features. With each mental breakdown, however, the author's desire to live mentally well-- and to be a mental health advocate-- pulls him from the depths of his condition. Kevin's story is a remarkable testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder to us to love the life we have. His story also reminds us that living mentally well takes time, endurance, hard work, and support. With these disciplines in place, those living with even very difficult diagnoses can achieve better lives for themselves and those who help to support and care for them.

by Judy Norsigian Michele Goodwin Miriam ZollA WOMAN'S BATTLE WITH THE BILLION-DOLLAR BABY BUSINESSCracked Open is Miriam Zoll's eye-opening account of growing into womanhood with the simultaneous opportunities and freedoms afforded by the U.S. women's movement and new discoveries in reproductive technologies. Influenced by the pervasive media and cultural messages suggesting that science had eclipsed Mother Nature, Zoll--like millions of women around the world--postpones marriage and motherhood. She embarks on an exciting career, travels the globe, and eventually marries in her mid-30s. By 40, she has finally overcome her fears of being an unfit mother and is ready to embrace motherhood but nature does not cooperate.In accordance with the times, she and her husband sign up for fertility treatments but neither one is prepared for the science-fiction world they have entered; a world full of medical seduction, capitalist conception and bioethical quagmires. Desperate to conceive, they turn into fertility junkies drawn into the cold, sterile world of the laboratory, where they increasingly find themselves disconnected from nature, their values, and each other. Eventually, they realize that the unregulated multi-billion-dollar U.S. fertility industry has promised her and millions of other couples far more than it can deliver.

Cracking the Walnut: Understanding the Dialectics of Nagarjuna
by Thich Nhat HanhZen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's commentary on Nagarjuna's Treatise on the Middle Way, one of the most famous Buddhist texts in existenceNagarjuna is a giant in the Buddhist canon, thought to be the greatest Buddhist philosopher after the Buddha. He lived in southern India in the 2nd century CE.Cracking the Walnut contains the text of Nagarjuna&’s Treatise on the Middle Way (Mulamadhyamakakarika), defending the essential premise that all things have the nature of emptiness, they have no self-nature, but are in a constant process of change and interrelationship with one another.Weaving Nagarjuna&’s text with commentary by Thich Nhat Hanh, taken from talks given at two 3-month-long retreats, helps us bring these teachings into our daily life. They are strong teachings, designed to break through all metaphysical speculation. To a greater or lesser extent, we all have notions and ideas about life. Sometimes our ideas can contribute to the advancement of humanity, but the problem comes when we are caught in our ideas and believe them to be the absolute truth. When people believe that something is the absolute truth, they may be ready to fight, kill, or die for it. This brings about polarization, deep division, and suffering in ourselves, our society, community, and family. This is not the way ahead for humanity. This book helps us let go of our ideas and go in the direction of understanding and compassion.
The Cracking Tower: A Strategy for Transcending 2012
by Jim Dekorne"One needn't ingest psychedelics, be a shaman, or believe in prophecy to see that countless environmental and social imbalances are about to converge into an inevitable 'perfect storm' at some time in the very near future. 'Singularity' is a word that means 'exponential change,' and whether or not you accept the 2012 prophecy, it is certain that you are already reeling under the accelerating techno-socio-ecological transformations now altering our reality. This crisis is clearly in process, regardless of what date one picks for its culmination. To acknowledge this is not the same as believing that space aliens will whisk us home in a UFO-there are too many synchronicities here to ignore. Despite the abysmal track record of apocalypse prediction, this is one end-of-the-world 'prophecy' that is actually coming true: by any standard of measurement, our old familiar world is disappearing forever-it just has a bit further to go before trends already in process fulfill themselves.
