Goal Setting

The incredible history and promise of inter-species organ transplantation, from an award-winning transplant surgeon. With more than 100,000 patients in the United States waiting for life-saving organ transplants, the shortage of organs will never be solved if someone must die for someone else to be saved. And yet a solution is well within reach: xenotransplantation, or the transplanting of organs between different species—the once unimaginable scientific achievement that Joshua Mezrich explores in Every Living Creature. The story begins with efforts using chimpanzees and baboons from the 1960s through the 1990s, rife with ethical and practical complications and disappointments. The successful cloning of Dolly the sheep revived xeno-optimism, followed by the discovery of CRISPR-Cas9, which finally opened the door to xenotransplantation in humans, using genetically modified pigs as organ donors. The protagonists of this story are as incredible as the science it details: a transgender visionary, the highest-paid female CEO in the world, who simply wants her daughter to live; the surgeon saved by a high-risk heart transplant, who swears by the promise of pigs’ organs; the brilliant and brash surgeon-scientist-entrepreneur, who is risking everything to make xenotransplantation a reality. Each plays a part in what is, in the end, the story of a miracle—not the answer to a prayer, as Every Living Creature makes clear, but a miracle we can breed.

How Xenotransplantation Will Change Our Lives

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

It's Not Too Late

Did you know you can rewire your brain for health by making simple modifications to your lifestyle? This life-changing workbook guides you through every step to maximum well-being. We’re in the age of medical marvels, advances, and interventions that have enabled us to live longer and live better. Along with a greater life expectancy, however, we’re also seeing increases in certain degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia; cardiovascular diseases; diabetes; and certain types of cancer. Bio-hacking offers a way to reduce your risk for these diseases by changing the environment around you—and inside of you—so you have full control of your own biology. In&nbsp;The Longevity Blueprint, you’ll learn how to do just this, essentially hacking and rewiring your body’s operating system to improve your health and well-being. With the tips and advice inside this book, you’ll learn how to improve cognitive health, increase focus, improve physical wellness, and boost happiness. It’s about doing the things we already know keep us healthy: eat right, exercise (body and mind), reduce stress, get more rest. Though it’s&nbsp;how we go about these things that separates the hackers from those who give up after failing to see immediate results. With the book’s writing prompts and journaling pages, you will learn some practical steps you can take to bio-hack your own biology and benefit brain function: <ul><li>Nutrition: healthy diet, brain-boosting foods</li><li>Exercise: regular physical activity, mind-body exercises</li><li>Sleep: good sleep environment, good sleep routine&nbsp;</li><li>Mental stimulation: brain challenges and puzzles, journaling</li><li>Mindfulness and meditation: exercises and breathwork</li><li>Mind-body connection: stress management, social connections</li></ul> Once touted as a tool only for the wealthy, bio-hacking can equip anyone with an arsenal of tools and strategies to help you take charge of your health. A longer, healthier life is not just for the rich!

Finally, the science-backed guide to making the most of in-person work—whether it’s one day in the office or five For the first time in history, millions of workers can do their jobs from anywhere—and the result is the most contentious workplace debate in generations. Employees fight to protect their freedom. CEOs issue return-to-office mandates by gut instinct. Everyone argues, but no one has the data. Until now. Harvard-trained economists Natalia Emanuel and Emma Harrington are leading researchers on remote and in-person work. They've spent years tracking millions of work hours across industries, analyzing Fortune 500 companies, startups, tech companies, and call centers. Their findings? Remote work is good for crossing tasks off a to-do list, but it erodes the quality of our work, stifles creativity, and hurts mental health. When we're together, our brain-to-brain synchrony increases 10x, accelerating creativity, mentorship, and innovation. That’s why Pixar animators, Nobel Prize winners, and Silicon Valley founders have come up with their best ideas face-to-face with one another. Working side-by-side can be a powerful force to supercharge company performance. But many office policies miss this mark, focusing on butts in seats, instead of brains in sync. Emanuel and Harrington offer solutions on how to craft the right policy. Backed with the latest research on the science of work, In Person offers tactical steps to make the most of in-office time, covering: <ul><li>How to calculate the right number of on-site days for your specific organization</li><li>The playbook for preserving employee flexibility without losing the power of being together</li><li>Why some RTO mandates fail spectacularly–and how to succeed</li></ul> After years of confusion, animosity, and conflicting mandates, In Person finally delivers the answers in a clear, evidence-based roadmap for making smarter decisions with your most valuable resource: your people.

How Working Together Fuels Creativity, Productivity, and Growth

In Person

The new science of why we quit, whether we should, and how to make the right choices for our work and lives, by a leading organizational psychologist Most of us are just one event away from leaving our job. Conventional wisdom would have us believe that the decision to leave secure work is the result of an uneven trade-off between our paychecks and benefits, and the time and effort we put into our jobs. But in reality, quitting is most often triggered by a single event, inside or outside the workplace, that causes us to stop and reflect on our relationship with work. These events are what organizational psychologist Anthony Klotz calls “jolts,” and they are the most underacknowledged realities in our work lives. In Jolted, Klotz breaks down what makes a jolt, and helps us navigate these inevitable disruptions, keeping us from being thrown off track by quitting when we shouldn’t—or spurring us to make the career change that can improve our lives.

Why We Quit, When to Stay, and Why It Matters

<div>Leading pain expert Dr. Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of understanding—and treating—pain—it's The Body Keeps the Score for chronic pain. Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an aging&nbsp;body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was ... wrong? &nbsp; We’ve been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. The truth is that pain is constructed by the brain—influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations, and environment. This means you have infinitely more control over pain than you ever imagined: because if the brain&nbsp;can change, pain&nbsp;can change.&nbsp; &nbsp; Rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Dr. Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we’ve been sold—finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and providing a roadmap for healing. The fact is that chronic pain is treatable. But to do that, we must target the whole person—not just a body part. A groundbreaking, revolutionary book that finally offers access to the world’s most powerful painkiller: YOU. “This book is a must read for anyone struggling with chronic pain. Filled with moving stories and the latest science, Zoffness explains how pain works and why so many treatments fall short. Her message is ultimately a hopeful one: By changing our brains we can lessen our pain. I highly recommend." ―Anna Lembke, MD, Professor and Medical Director, Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic, Stanford University, New York Times bestselling author of Dopamine Nation "In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Zoffness dismantles outdated myths about pain and brilliantly reveals new ways to overcome it. Filled with the latest science, this is a must read for both doctors and patients, and frankly anyone grappling with chronic pain.” ―William W. Li, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Eat To Beat Disease, former faculty at Harvard Medical School</div>

In this pioneering work, a renowned happiness scientist and a top relationship researcher draw on the science of happiness, love, and human connection to offer a powerful framework to help readers appreciate and nurture what makes them feel truly loved.We can be loved—and still not feel loved. Many people believe that if they behave the right way, say the right things, or make themselves more lovable, they will feel more loved. But this kind of reflexive thinking is fundamentally misguided, causing a disconnect that can lead to loneliness, depression, and self-doubt. Sonja Lyubomirsky, the world’s preeminent expert on happiness, and Harry Reis, one of the world’s leading experts on relationships and connection, have studied the complexities of well-being and love in depth. Truly feeling loved, they’ve discovered, differs widely from the actions that we usually associate with loving, being loved, and falling in love.In this exceptional book, they present a radical, hopeful, and science-backed shift in how to think about love, revealing that feeling loved isn’t about making ourselves more appealing, available, and lovable—it’s about showing our full and vulnerable selves to others and encouraging our loved ones to reveal their full and vulnerable selves to us. This is true for romantic love but also for the love we feel in friendship, family, and beyond.In How to Feel Loved, they introduce five powerful mindsets—tools to help us feel the love we crave with the people in our lives.A Sharing mindset—showing our vulnerabilities and inner world, not just the polished partsA Listening-to-Learn mindset—making space to truly tune in to another, not just to take turns speakingA Radical Curiosity mindset—being genuinely interested in another and asking better questionsAn Open-Heart mindset—being kind and affirming to another for who they truly areA Multiplicity mindset—embracing the messy complexity in all of usThese mindset shifts give shape to a dynamic back-and-forth process the authors call the Relationship Sea-Saw, which will help readers remake their conversations in ways that enable them to deeply know those they love and become deeply known by them. It isn’t enough to be loved. To be truly fulfilled, we must feel loved. This book shows us how.

The Five Mindsets That Get You More of What Matters Most

How to Feel Loved

Con empatía, humor y estrategias prácticas, Sofía Macías te ayuda a construir estabilidad y resiliencia financiera para que, incluso cuando la vida te revuelca, mantengas el rumbo hacia el futuro que sueñas. Crecer no es la trampa. Crecer sin herramientas sí lo es. Aquí tienes las tuyas. Acéptalo: los días en los que la fiesta duraba todo el fin de semana y el lunes trabajabas fresco como lechuga quedaron atrás. Ahora la conversación gira en torno a hipotecas, seguros, colesterol y quién paga qué. Bienvenido a los “tas”. No crezcas, es una trampa… o al menos eso parece. Porque la vida adulta no viene con instructivo. Y cuando tus papás empiezan a envejecer o a enfermar —esos superhéroes a los que siempre acudías— y de pronto te toca decidir por ellos, hacer trámites, pagar tratamientos y ordenar cuentas, entiendes que el dinero ya no es solo para viajes o gustos: es una herramienta para cuidar y cuidarte. Esa experiencia marcó a Sofía Macías e inspiró esta guía de supervivencia financiera. En Finanzas para la vida adulta aprenderás a protegerte sin descarrilar tus finanzas, a cuidar tu salud mental, física y cerebral sin que te cueste un ojo de la cara, a quitarle lo imposible a la compra de casa, a invertir en bienes raíces con poco dinero y a hablar de dinero con tu pareja o familia sin dinamitar la relación. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION With empathy, humor, and practical strategies, Sofía Macías helps you build financial stability and resilience so that—even when life knocks you around—you can stay on track toward the future you dream of. Growing up isn’t the trap. Growing up without the right tools is. Here are yours. Let’s face it: the days when the party lasted all weekend and you showed up to work on Monday feeling fresh as a daisy are long gone. Now the conversation revolves around mortgages, insurance, cholesterol, and who’s paying for what. Welcome to the world of “adulting.” Don’t grow up—it’s a trap… or at least it feels that way. Because adulthood doesn’t come with an instruction manual. And when your parents start to age or fall ill—those superheroes you always relied on—and suddenly it’s up to you to make decisions for them, handle paperwork, pay for treatments, and get their finances in order, you realize that money isn’t just for travel or treats anymore: it’s a tool for caring for them and for yourself. That experience shaped Sofía Macías and inspired this financial survival guide. In Finances for Adult Life, you’ll learn how to protect yourself without derailing your finances; how to care for your mental, physical, and cognitive health without spending a fortune; how to make buying a home feel achievable; how to invest in real estate with limited funds; and how to talk about money with your partner or family without blowing up the relationship.
