Always hungry? : conquer cravings, retrain your fat cells, and lose weight permanently / by Ludwig, David,1957-;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Inspired by the New York Times op-ed "Always Hungry," Always hungry? will change everything readers ever thought about weight loss, diet, and health. Groundbreaking new research shows that calorie counting does not work for weight loss: one diet causes weight gain whereas another diet with the same calorie count doesn't. It's your fat cells that are to blame for causing excessive hunger and increased weight. By eating the wrong foods, our fat cells are triggered to take in too many calories for themselves, setting off a dangerous chain reaction of increased appetite and a slower metabolism. Now, Harvard Medical School's David Ludwig, MD, PhD, offers an impeccably researched diet that will turn dieting on its head, teaching readers to reprogram their fat cells, tame hunger, boost metabolism, and lose weight--for good"--Provided by publisher.

Emotional agility : get unstuck, embrace change, and thrive in work and life / by David, Susan A.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The counterintuitive approach to achieving your true potential, heralded by the Harvard Business Review as a groundbreaking idea of the year. The path to fulfillment, whether at work or at home, is almost never a straight line. Ask anyone who has achieved their biggest goals or who thrives in their relationships, and you'll hear stories of many unexpected detours along the way. What separates those who rise to these challenges and those who get derailed? The answer is agility--emotional agility. Emotional agility is a four-step approach that allows us to navigate life's twists and turns with self-acceptance, clear-sightedness, and an open mind. In her more than twenty years of research, Susan David has found that no matter how intelligent, resilient, or creative people are, when they ignore how situations or interactions make them feel, they miss opportunities to gain insight, getting hooked by thoughts, emotions, and habits that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Emotionally agile people experience the same stresses and setbacks as anyone else, but they know how to adapt, aligning their actions with their values and making small changes that lead to a life of growth. Drawing on her extensive professional research, her international consulting work, and her own experiences growing up in Apartheid-era South Africa and losing her father at a young age, David shows how anyone can become more emotionally agile and thrive in an uncertain world. Written with authority, wit, and empathy, Emotional Agility will help you live your most successful life, whoever you are and whatever you face"--Provided by publisher.LSC

Songs of love on a December night : a novel / by Richards, David Adams,author.;
"From one of Canada's most celebrated and controversial novelists comes a tale of dark aspirations, betrayal and murder. When Jamie Musselman's father is found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, it doesn't take long for rumours and suspicions about Jamie to swirl through Miramachi. Why was Jamie also shot that night? Why was money discovered under his pillow? Was it true, as some of the boys at his school claimed, that Jamie possessed a cruel nature and had even once been spotted killing robins? As the years bend on, Jamie continues to maintain his innocence, but few others, aside from his fiancée, Gertie, believe him. Including the police, who finally arrest him. Including the judge, who convicts Jamie of murder. But nothing is ever as it seems in Miramachi, a place where vanity, resentment and crimes of opportunity are forever brewing, and unlikely alliances are continually being formed. In the weeks before the murder, a self-proclaimed revolutionary had returned to Miramachi after being expelled from university; a career criminal falsely claiming Indigenous heritage had been released from jail; and a hapless bully of a father--Gertie's father--had discovered there was money in the Musselmans' home, kept in the very study where Jamie's father was found dead. Is there more to the story than the townsfolk believe? Richly conceived and fearless in its examination of morality and justice, prejudice and corruption, Songs of Love on a December Night is an epic exploration of the evil we are capable of and of the redemption we can aspire to."--

Songs of Love on a December Night [electronic resource] : by Richards, David Adams.aut; CloudLibrary;
From one of Canada's most celebrated and controversial novelists comes a tale of dark aspirations, betrayal and murder. When Colonel Musselman is found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, a rumour soon surfaces that he was murdered by his own teenage son, Jamie. As weeks, months and years pass, Jamie—shy and withdrawn but brilliant—continues to maintain his innocence. Yet few others, besides his fiancée, Gertie, believe him. Suspected, harassed and questioned, Jamie is finally tried and convicted of the crime. But nothing is as it seems. Before the murder, unlikely alliances between a self-styled revolutionary recently expelled from university, a young man claiming Indigenous heritage, and Gertie’s own hapless father had long ago set the stage for intrigue and bloodletting. As the aftermath of this crime threatens to destroy both the innocent and the guilty, it is left to a few citizens who have been dismissed and overlooked to solve what the others, blinded by their arrogance and personal vanity, refuse to admit. Richly conceived and utterly fearless in its examination of morality, justice, prejudice and corruption, Songs of Love on a December Night is an epic exploration of the self-betrayal that we are capable of, and of the redemption we so often aspire to.
