- 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.

Amy Huberman, Chris O'Dowd, David Rawle, Deirdre O'Kane, Johnny Vegas, Peter McDonald, Simon DayOriginally produced by BBC Studios in 2014.The hilarious award-winning comedy series returns with further adventures of Martin, the youngest member of the large, loud and chaotic Moone family living in rural Ireland. The semi-autobiographical series is co-written by and stars Chris O’Dowd as Martin’s imaginary friend Sean Murphy. Martin’s unique view on life, combined with Sean’s not always helpful advice, draws him into a whole new series of ridiculous schemes – although his parents and sisters are far too distracted by their own lives to notice what Martin's up to. It's now 1990 and things are changing in the Moone household. There’s the prospect of a new arrival in the family, Ireland's World Cup campaign threatens to throw a spanner in the works for their annual holiday, and Martin's move to a new school sees him standing out for all the wrong reasons when he tries to impress his beautiful but quirky art teacher. Dad Liam faces a dilemma when a group of Travellers move into the field next door, but for Martin, first love blossoms when he meets the lovely Majella.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Disc 1. Pilot -- Vagina panic -- All adventurous women do -- Hannah's diary -- Hard being easy.Disc 2. The return -- Welcome to Bushwick a.k.a. The crackcident -- Weirdos need girlfriends too -- Leave me alone -- She did.Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Adam Driver, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet.Two years out of liberal arts school, Hannah (Dunham) believes she has the talent to be a successful writer, and though she has yet to complete her memoir (she has to live it first), her parents cut her off financially without warning. Further complicating things for Hannah is her unrequited passion for eccentric actor Adam, with whom she occasionally has sex (when he can be bothered to respond to her text messages). As the harsh reality of rent and bills looms, Hannah leans on her very-put-together best friend and roommate Marnie, who has a real job at an art gallery and an even realer boyfriend (neither of which she can admit she might not love). Meanwhile, their gorgeous British friend Jessa, who has travelled to as many different countries as she's had boyfriends, appears in the city and moves in with Shoshanna, her naive younger cousin with Sex and the City lifestyle aspirations. Over the course of Season 1's ten episodes, the four girls try to figure out what they want - from life, from boys, from themselves and each other. The answers aren't always clear or easy, but the search is profoundly relatable and infinitely amusing.Canadian Home Video Rating: 18A.DVD; widescreen presentation ; Dolby digital.
