Sustainably Delicious: Making the World a Better Place, One Recipe at a Time
by Mary Goodbody Michel NischanMore than any other chef at work today, Michel Nischan creates sophisticated, modern food by embracing the food tenets of the past: Use what's readily available, celebrate variety, respect the land, and eschew waste. Whether it's explaining the virtues of secondary meat cuts, which fish are in least danger of overfishing, or how heritage bean and grain varieties help to support biodiversity as well as healthy diets, Sustainably Delicious proves that the most satisfying food comes from a passionate respect for America's culinary and environmental legacy. Many of the recipes reflect Nischan's Midwestern roots and the innate frugality that dictated his family's meals be made with humble, seasonal ingredients. In Nischan's confident hands, simple foods such as barley, celery root, and eggs shine. With recipes such as Heirloom Beet Salad with Savory Marshmallows, Tomato Rice Soup with Braised Beef Shanks, and Leg of Pasture-Raised Lamb Stuffed with Chestnuts and Dried Cranberries, Nischan's approach to farm table cuisine is anything but precious.

Svegliati. Un viaggio alla scoperta dell'illuminazione spirituale.
by Helen Jane Rose Annarita TranficiEstratto della recensione di Nandita Keshavan (5 stelle) “Svegliati. Un viaggio alla scoperta dell'illuminazione spirituale” è un libro che contiene una serie di messaggi chiari e coerenti che vi aiuteranno ad aprirvi alla felicità interiore e alla spiritualità. I messaggi sono profondamente filosofici ed enfatizzano l’importanza del cambiamento, della continua evoluzione verso una maggiore consapevolezza di sé e della scoperta della pace e della forza interiore attraverso il distacco dalle illusioni e l’unione con il proprio spirito. È un messaggio forte, chiaro, che intende offrire conforto. L’autrice ha incluso molte citazioni e frasi di personaggi famosi che aggiungono valore ai temi centrali del libro, ovvero: come creare un futuro migliore per noi stessi e le nuove generazioni, come essere dei modelli migliori per i nostri bambini, come imparare a credere nel cambiamento e a sfuggire l’inganno di massa e il controllo che gli altri esercitano su di noi. Credo fermamente nella validità delle affermazioni qui presentate e anche nel valore del quadro generale qui descritto. È una lettura utile e che consiglierei non solo alle persone che approcciano per la prima volta il pensiero spirituale e sono interessate ad approfondirne i concetti essenziali, ma anche a coloro che hanno una certa familiarità con le nozioni più comuni. Lo stile della scrittura è intriso di fiducia, sincerità e realismo.

Sono presenti, infatti, moltissimi spunti di riflessione che aiutano a capire come ritrovare la serenità, su quali criteri definire il nostro successo, come rispettare gli altri e il pianeta in cui viviamo e come accelerare la nostra evoluzione interiore. *Il libro è pubblicato in formato e-book e cartaceo.

Sweat Equity: Inside the New Economy of Mind and Body
by Jason KellyGo inside the trend that spawned a multi-billion dollar industry for the top five percent Sweat Equity goes inside the multibillion dollar trend toward endurance sports and fitness to discover who's driving it, who's paying for it, and who's profiting. Bloomberg's Jason Kelly, author of The New Tycoons, profiles the participants, entrepreneurs, and investors at the center of this movement, exploring this phenomenon in which a surge of people--led by the most affluent--are becoming increasingly obsessed with looking and feeling better. Through in-depth looks inside companies and events from New York Road Runners to Tough Mudder and Ironman, Kelly profiles the companies and people aiming to meet the demands of these consumers, and the traits and strategies that made them so successful. In a modern world filled with anxiety, pressure, and competition, people are spending more time and money than ever before to soothe their minds and tone their bodies, sometimes pushing themselves to the most extreme limits. Even as obesity rates hit an all-time high, the most financially successful among us are collectively spending billions each year on apparel, gear, and entry fees. Sweat Equity charts the rise of the movement, through the eyes of competitors and the companies that serve them. Through conversations with businesspeople, many driven by their own fitness obsessions, and first-hand accounts of the sports themselves, Kelly delves into how the movement is taking shape. Understand the social science, physics, and economics of our desire to pursue activities like endurance sports and yoga Get to know the endurance business's target demographics Learn how distance running--once a fringe hobby--became a multibillion dollar enterprise fueled by private equity Understand how different generations pursue fitness and how fast-growing companies sell to them The opportunity to run, swim, and crawl in the mud is resonating with more and more of us, as sports once considered extreme become mainstream. As Baby Boomers seek to stay fit and Millennials search for meaning in a hyperconnected world, the demand for the race bib is outstripping supply, even as the cost to participate escalates. Sweat Equity, through the stories of men and women inside the most influential races and companies, goes to the heart of the movement where mind, body, and big money collide.

Sweet Nothing: How A Pointless Life Can Set You Free
by Wendy SyfretRealizing your life is pointless is not the motivational advice you might expect—but it could be the advice that sets you free. Sweet Nothing offers an unorthodox and radically liberating approach to creating real peace in your life. A few years ago, Wendy Syfret had a “cool” job, a nice partner and a stylish apartment—all trappings of a “meaningful” life that signalled she was “doing it right” (while also inducing a little Instagram envy). But she was living in a constant state of anxiety, waking nightly at 3 a.m. to answer emails for what was in reality an entry-level media job. One day she nearly collapsed under a wave of panic about the inescapable pressure cooker that was her never-ending pursuit of achievement. Then she had an epiphany: none of it mattered and one day she’d be dead. Suddenly she could breathe again, for what felt like the first time in ages. She had discovered what she’s come to think of as sunny nihilism.Sweet Nothing explores how accepting that your life has no meaning in the grand scheme of the universe is actually incredibly freeing. In fact, it is already a prevalent belief in our culture, particularly among millennials and Gen Zs. Readers will gain an accessible entry into sunny nihilism and an understanding of nihilism’s history and pitfalls. And they will learn to focus on the freedom to celebrate the immediate, appreciate the beautiful chaos of life, and invest energy into things that will make the world a better place—because literally nothing else matters. In an era defined by collective burnout, economic downturns, performative excellence, housing crises, plans waylaid by pandemics, and maintaining a perfect Instagram aesthetic, a little nothingness really is sweet.Published outside Canada as The Sunny Nihilist

Swiss Chalet Book: An Elegant Guide to Architecture and Design
by William S DanaHere William S. B. Dana, B.S., presents an in-depth and precise depiction of the breathtaking architectural masterpieces known as the Swiss Chalets. The culmination of elaborate conversations with the designers, the builders, and the experts on these spectacular buildings, here is a piece of design history that is not to be missed.A style of German origin, Swiss Chalets were best known for their large windows, ornate carvings, and balconies. Often they were brightly painted, and had gabled roofs with great overhanging eaves. These stunning aristocratic homes decorated the Swiss countryside in the nineteenth century, and later could be seen throughout the rest of the world. New Chalets, as they were called, rose up in Norway and Sweden, and finally even crossed the Atlantic, appearing in places as unexpected as Ohio and New Jersey.Through delicate language and lines, Dana expresses both the science and the art behind the simple structural elements and the most complex details of the chalets. This book, a 1913 original, displays diagrams, architectural plans, and photographs to best convey the different fundamentals and models of Swiss Chalets. The author’s research of this beautiful art form cultivates knowledge and appreciation of this great architectural style.

Drawing on personal experience and years of applying her research in coaching elite performance, she shows how adopting a few key skills can transform your life in profound ways. A book full of important insights.”—Mark Williams, Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychology University and coauthor of the international bestseller Mindfulness: An Eight Week-Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World“Switch Craft is a fascinating book, packed full of practical advice on how to help you survive and thrive in an uncertain world. Written by a leading academic, it offers real insights in how to cope with the stresses and strains of a post-covid world.”—Michael Mosley, New York Times bestselling author and science journalistDiscover how expanding and improving your mental agility—your ability to flex your thoughts, feelings, and actions—can transform your life, bolster your resilience, and foster your zest for living.Endless self-help approaches claim to have the answer. It's important to be mindful, we are told, and to stay in the moment. Sometimes, we are advised to keep going no matter what, to be 'gritty'. Others tell us that adopting a 'growth mindset' is key.However, the truth is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to dealing with life. Elaine Fox, one of the world's leading psychologists and performance coaches, has witnessed this time and again. In her work coaching top athletes, military leaders and business professionals, she has seen that it's the people who know how and when to switch between different approaches - people who have an agile mind - who achieve the best performance.Drawing on 25 years of scientific research, Fox shares with us her step-by-step guide to what she calls 'switchcraft': the set of skills we need to navigate a complex and uncertain world. Whether it's coping with a difficult boss, overcoming a fear, dealing with hyperactive children, resolving a dispute with a friend or making a difficult choice about where to live or what to do, switchcraft helps us thrive in any situation.Like your own personal life coach, Switch Craft shows you how to break out of a rigid mindset to restore your fulfilment, curiosity and zest for life.
