Miért más az otthoni, mint az irodai munkavégzés? Hogyan tanuljunk meg szüneteket tartani és szabadságra menni? Miként válhatunk hatékonyabbá a megfelelő napirend segítségével? Egyre többen dolgozunk otthonról – különösen a pandémia kezdete óta – munkavállalóként, szabadúszóként vagy kisvállalkozóként, ez a helyzet pedig sokunknak mindennapos kihívást jelent. Számtalan buktatóval kell megküzdenünk, mint az időbeosztás és a megfelelő munkakörnyezet kialakítása, az összpontosítás, a kapcsolattartás vagy önmagunk motiválásának nehézségei, valamint a magányosság, esetleg az állandó szorongás érzése. Rebecca Seal humoros és olvasmányos könyvében tudományos kutatások és rutinos egyedül dolgozók beszámolói alapján körbejárja, hogyan hat agyunkra, munkavégzésünkre és jóllétünkre, hogy nem irodai keretek között és nem mások társaságában dolgozunk. Praktikus tanácsai segítségével fejleszthetjük lelki rugalmasságunkat, hatékonyabbak lehetünk, és megtalálhatjuk a munka és magánélet egyensúlyát.

Jillian Turecki - ceniona trenerka relacji romantycznych i autorka jednego z najpopularniejszych amerykańskich podcastów o związkach – obala mity, które sabotują nasze życie uczuciowe. Opierając się na własnych bolesnych doświadczeniach oraz wieloletniej pracy z klientami, pokazuje, dlaczego nawet inteligentni, wrażliwi i „świadomi” ludzie wciąż wpadają w te same destrukcyjne schematy miłości. Autorka łączy strategie terapeutyczne, techniki pracy z ciałem, wiedzę o nawykach i regulacji emocji, pokazując, jak myśli i ciało wpływają na sposób, w jaki kochamy. Przedstawia dziewięć fundamentalnych, czasem trudnych do przyjęcia prawd, które musisz zrozumieć i zastosować w swoim życiu, jeśli chcesz je zmienić na lepsze.

TYLKO WYBIERAJĄC SIEBIE, DAJESZ SOBIE SZANSĘ NA WARTOŚCIOWY ZWIĄZEK. „Zaczyna się od ciebie” to książka, która bez złudzeń pokazuje, dlaczego nasze związki często bolą bardziej, niż powinny. Jillian Turecki, prezentując dziewięć trudnych prawd, odsłania mechanizmy lęku, niepewności i powtarzalnych schematów, które sabotują miłość.

The Autoimmune Fix

Health, Mind & Body

Do you have crud in the blood?Millions of people suffer from autoimmunity whether they know it or not. The root cause of most weight gain, brain and mood problems, and fatigue, autoimmunity can take years—or even decades—for symptoms and a clear diagnosis to arise. Through years of research, Dr. Tom O’Bryan has discovered that autoimmunity is actually a spectrum, and many people experiencing general malaise are already on it. And while autoimmune diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, and lupus, have become the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer, many people affected are left in the dark.The good news is that many autoimmune conditions can be reversed through a targeted protocol designed to heal the autoimmune system, 70 percent of which is located in the gut. The Autoimmune Fix includes two comprehensive 3-week plans: In the first 3 weeks, you’ll follow a Paleo-inspired diet during which you cut out gluten, sweets, and dairy—the three primary culprits behind autoimmunity. Once the dietary changes have been addressed, The Autoimmune Fix focuses on the other causes of autoimmunity such as genetics, other dietary issues, and microbiome. The Autoimmune Fix provides a practical and much-needed guide to navigating these increasingly common conditions to help you feel better and develop a plan that works for you.

Brain Defenders

Health, Mind & Body

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Perlmutter comes a groundbreaking guide to the brain’s immune cells—essential to preventing disease and sustaining peak cognitive function and mental healthWe’ve been fighting the wrong enemy. For decades, medicine has pointed its weapons at symptoms like memory loss, tremors, headaches, and lethargy, while ignoring the root causes of diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and major depression. In Brain Defenders, neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter flips the script, exposing the real culprits: malfunctioning microglia, tiny immune cells that, when metabolically hijacked, go rogue and attack the very neurons they’re meant to protect.With clarity and urgency, Dr. Perlmutter explains how a silent battle rages in the brain. Microglia can become either warriors of protection or agents of destruction—and the outcome depends largely on how we live. In Brain Defenders, you will:Learn the science of immunometabolism and the relationship between energy and your cellsUnderstand the overlooked role of inflammation in everything from dementia to long COVID—and why the immune system may be the brain’s greatest threat and hopeDiscover how your lifestyle affects the fate of your microglia and, in turn, your cognitive futureUncover the surprising link between metabolic health and brain resilience, and how tools like fasting, sleep, and even oxygen therapy can restore damaged neural networksExplore therapeutic interventions—from metformin to lion’s mane mushroom—that support healing and slow neural declineNeurodegeneration, cognitive impairment, and mood disorders are not inevitable, but often the result of chronic, controllable inflammation. Drawing on the latest peer-reviewed science and grounded in decades of neurological care, Dr. Perlmutter delivers a powerful message: the future of your brain health is in your hands.
