Sora Vernikoff is a No Diet, Weight-Loss Coach at www.nodieting.net. Over 20 years ago, Sora healed herself of compulsive overeating by transferring her classroom “management” techniques to food “management” techniques thanks to her educational expertise teaching really challenged kids in East New York, Brooklyn. This led to the development of an easy to use no-diet, weight-loss system that she went on to teach to hundreds of unhappy dieters. Sora’s book "Eat What You Want! Stop When You Want! A No-Diet, Weight-Loss Program" became a #1 Amazon Best Seller when it was published; also her book became the 2018 Distinguished Favorite by The New York City Big Book Award Contest. As an educator, speaker and author, Sora teaches her no diet system both online and offline. She likes to say, “If you want to eat what you want, stop when you want and become forever thin and healthy, then visit nodieting.net and start making peace with food today.” Credit: Sora Vernikoff; NoDieting.net.

How Countries Go Broke By Ray Dalio

Credit: How Countries Go Broke


Overview

For decades, politicians, policymakers, and investors have debated these questions, but the answers have eluded them. In this groundbreaking book, Ray Dalio, one of the greatest investors of our time who anticipated the 2008 global financial crisis and the 2010–12 European debt crisis, shares for the first time his detailed explanation of what he calls the “Big Debt Cycle.” Understanding this cycle is critical for helping policymakers, investors, and the general public grasp where we are and where we are headed with the debt issue. Dalio’s model points toward surprisingly straightforward solutions for dealing with the debt problems that the US, Europe, Japan, and China face today. How Countries Go Broke also shows how these debt problems are related to the other forces—political within countries, geopolitical between countries, natural (droughts, floods, and pandemics), and technological (most importantly, AI)—that together are causing what Dalio calls the “Overall Big Cycle” changes in the world order. By reading this book, you will improve your understanding of what’s happening now and what to do about it. Credit: Barnes & Noble; Economic Principles.

When Breath Becomes Air By Paul Kalanithi

 

Credit: When Breath Becomes Air

Overview

At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a naïve medical student “possessed,” as he wrote, “by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir.

Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything,” he wrote. “Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ‘I can’t go on. I’ll go on.’” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both.
