- Scarcity brain : fix your craving mindset and rewire your habits to thrive with enough / by Easter, Michael(Health and fitness writer),author.;
Are we hardwired to crave more? From food and stuff to information and influence, why can't we ever get enough? The author of The Comfort Crisis shows us how to overcome our built-to-crave mindset and discover the tools to finally feel satisfied. Anything is fine in moderation. But why are we so bad at moderating? Michael Easter, one of the world's leading experts on behavior change, shows that the problem isn't you. The problem is your scarcity mindset, left over from our ancient ancestors. They had to constantly seek and consume to survive because vital survival tools like food, material goods, information, power, and more were scarce and hard to find. But with our modern ability to easily fulfill our ancient desire for more, our hardwired "scarcity brain" is now backfiring. And new technology and institutions -- from dating and entertainment apps to our food and economic systems -- are exploiting our scarcity brain. They're bombarding us with subversive "scarcity cues," subtle triggers that lead us into low-reward cravings that hurt us in the long run. Scarcity cues can be direct and all-encompassing, like a sagging economy. Or they can be subtle and slight, like our neighbor buying a shiny new car. Easter traveled the world to consult with remarkable innovators and leading scientists who are finding surprising solutions for our scarcity brain. He discovered simple tactics that can move us towards an abundance mindset, cement healthy habits, and allow us to live our lives to the fullest and appreciate what we have, including how to: Detect hidden scarcity cues to stop cravings before they start, from a brilliant slot machine designer in a Las Vegas casino laboratory ; Turn alone time into the ultimate happiness hack, from artisanal coffee-making Benedictine monks ; Reignite your exploration gene for a more exciting and fulfilling life, from an astronaut onboard the International Space Station ; Reframe how we think about and fix addiction and bad habits, from Iraq's chief psychiatrist ; Recognize when you have enough, from a woman who left a million-dollar career path to adventure the world. Our world is overloaded with everything we're built to crave. The fix for scarcity brain isn't to blindly aim for less. It's to understand why we crave more in the first place, shake our worst habits, and use what we already have better. Then we can experience life in a new way -- a more satisfying way.- Subjects: Self-help publications.; Desire.; Desire; Happiness; Quality of life.; Scarcity.; Scarcity; Self-actualization (Psychology);

- An Irish hostage / by Todd, Charles,author.;
"In the uneasy peace following World War I, nurse Bess Crawford runs into trouble and treachery in Ireland-in this twelfth book in the New York Times bestselling mystery series. The Great War is over-but in Ireland, in the wake of the bloody 1916 Easter Rising, anyone who served in France is now considered a traitor, including nurse Eileen Flynn and former soldier Michael Sullivan, who only want to be married in the small, isolated village where she grew up. Even her grandmother is against it, and Eileen's only protection is her cousin Terrence who was a hero of the Rising and is still being hunted by the British. Bess Crawford had promised to be there for the wedding. And in spite of the danger to her, she keeps that promise-only to be met with the shocking news that the groom has vanished. Eileen begs for her help, but how can Bess hope to find him when she doesn't know the country, the people, or where to put her trust? Time is running out, for Michael and for Bess herself, and soon her own life is on the line. With only an Irish outlaw and a prisoner about to be hanged for murder on her side, how can she possibly save herself, much less stop a killer?"--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Historical fiction.; Crawford, Bess (Fictitious character); Nurses; Missing persons;
