Energize! : go from dragging ass to kicking it in 30 days / by Breus, Michael,author.; Griffith, Stacey,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Fatigue and a lack of energy are among the top wellness issues facing Americans. There's no two ways about it: we're exhausted and depleted and desperate for practical, long lasting solutions. Most people don't realize that the main reason we're so exhausted is that we're living in a way that's counter to our biological rhythms-our chronobiology-and our innate physical needs. In Energize! renowned sleep doctor Michael Breus and founding instructor of SoulCycle Stacey Griffith team up to help readers get back on track. Using the core principles of chronobiology and fitness, they offer a simple, personalized program of small, daily movements, sleeping and eating on schedule, and mood hacks that will give readers incredible energy, promote happiness, and fight off fatigue for good. Their program boils down to living the way nature and your DNA programmed you to live. With fascinating science, quizzes so that readers can identify their chronotype (Lion, Wolf, Bear, or Dolphin) and their body type (ecto, endo, or mesomorphic), and easily implemented advice, Energize! will have you feeling happier and healthier in no time"--

Dear Fahrenheit 451 : love and heartbreak in the stacks : a librarian's love letters and breakup notes to the books in her life / by Spence, Annie,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.If you love to read, and presumably you do since you've picked up this book, you know that some books affect you so profoundly they forever change the way you think about the world. Some books, on the other hand, disappoint you so much you want to throw them against the wall. Either way, it's clear that a book can be your new soul mate or the bad relationship you need to end. In Dear Fahrenheit 451, librarian Annie Spence has crafted love letters and breakup notes to the iconic and eclectic books she has encountered over the years. From breaking up with The giving tree (a dysfunctional relationship book if ever there was one), to her love letter to The time traveler's wife (a novel less about time travel and more about the life of a marriage, with all of its ups and downs), Spence will make you think of old favorites in a new way. Filled with suggested reading lists, Spence's take on classic and contemporary books is very much like the best of literature sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes surprisingly poignant, and filled with universal truths. A celebration of reading, Dear Fahrenheit 451 is for anyone who loves nothing more than curling up with a good book ... and another, and another, and another.
