- Change your diet, change your mind : a powerful plan to improve mood, overcome anxiety, and protect memory for a lifetime of optimal mental health / by Ede, Georgia,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."We are in the midst of a global mental health crisis: -More than one in six American adults now take psychiatric medication. -The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is expected to triple by 2050. -Depression is now the number one cause of disability in the world. -The COVID-19 pandemic has quadrupled reports of anxiety and depression. Although medications may ease suffering for some, in Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, Dr. Georgia Ede argues that the most powerful way to change brain chemistry is with food, because what we eat is where our brain's chemicals come from. For years, we've been told the way to protect our brains is through superfoods and supplements-we top our oatmeal with blueberries, choose plant-based patties over hamburgers, and wash down handfuls of supplements with green smoothies. But the science says: not only do these strategies fail people, but they can also work against them. The truth about brain food is that meat is not dangerous, vegan diets are not healthier, and antioxidants will not help you. In this provocative, illuminating book, Dr. Ede explains why everything we think we know about eating for neurological psychological well-being is wrong. Most of what we accept as true is based on studies that take an "outside-in" approach, making associations between healthy people and what they eat. In her book, Dr. Ede takes an inside-out stance, drawing on a range of disciplines like biochemistry, neuroscience, and botany to explain why a ketogenic diet combined with "kinder, gentler plant foods" is the best way to nourish, protect, and energize the brain"--- Subjects: Recipes.; Mental health; Mood (Psychology); Nutrition;

- Reckless girls / by Hawkins, Rachel,1979-author.;
"From Rachel Hawkins, the New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Upstairs, comes Reckless Girls, a deliciously wicked gothic suspense, set on an isolated Pacific island with a dark history, for fans of Lucy Foley and Ruth Ware. When Lux McAllister and her boyfriend, Nico, are hired to sail two women to a remote island in the South Pacific, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. Stuck in a dead-end job in Hawaii, and longing to travel the world after a family tragedy, Lux is eager to climb on board The Susannah and set out on an adventure. She's also quick to bond with their passengers, college best friends Brittany and Amma. The two women say they want to travel off the beaten path. But like Lux, they may have other reasons to be seeking an escape. Shimmering on the horizon after days at sea, Meroe Island is every bit the paradise the foursome expects, despite a mysterious history of shipwrecks, cannibalism, and even rumors of murder. But what they don't expect is to discover another boat already anchored off Meroe's sandy beaches. The owners of the Azure Sky, Jake and Eliza, are a true golden couple: gorgeous, laidback, and if their sleek catamaran and well-stocked bar are any indication, rich. Now a party of six, the new friends settle in to experience life on an exotic island, and the serenity of being completely off the grid. Lux hasn't felt like she truly belonged anywhere in years, yet here on Meroe, with these fellow free spirits, she finally has a sense of peace. But with the arrival of a skeevy stranger sailing alone in pursuit of a darker kind of good time, the balance of the group is disrupted. Soon, cracks begin to emerge: it seems that Brittany and Amma haven't been completely honest with Lux about their pasts--and perhaps not even with each other. And though Jake and Eliza seem like the perfect pair, the rocky history of their relationship begins to resurface, and their reasons for sailing to Meroe might not be as innocent as they first appeared. When it becomes clear that the group is even more cut off from civilization than they initially thought, it starts to feel like the island itself is closing in on them. And when one person goes missing, and another turns up dead, Lux begins to wonder if any of them are going to make it off the island alive"--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Psychological fiction.; Islands; Missing persons; Murder; Secrecy; Survival;

- Rule your day : 6 keys to maximizing your success and accelerating your dreams / by Osteen, Joel,author.;
"Some people live in a constant state of worry, upset, and negativity because they let everything in. They listen to the news all day, go to lunch with judgmental people, or get cut off in traffic, leaving the rest of their day pretty sour. They're not ruling their day. No one can keep all bad things from happening, but you can stop them from getting down in your spirit. The less time you spend in bad situations or with small-minded people, the better off you're going to be. Don't sit inactive with people who don't believe in you, people who don't come into agreement with your dreams. You control what you allow into your day, your mind. God has given you the authority to rule over your attitude and your response. Let God control what you can't. If you'll do your part, then He will do His-making things happen that you couldn't even imagine. With Rule the Day, you'll be able to go out each day expecting the best, knowing everything may not be perfect. There may be delays, interruptions, difficult people, but you'll learn to not let these things ruin your day. Know that God is directing your steps and has given you the power to remain calm in times of adversity. Every day can be a good day, if you rule your atmosphere."--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Control (Psychology); Success;

- The light of Paris [sound recording] / by Brown, Eleanor,1973-author.; Campbell, Cassandra,narrator.; Penguin Audio (Firm),publisher.;
Read by Cassandra Campbell."Madeleine is trapped--by her family's expectations, by her controlling husband, and by her own fears--in an unhappy marriage and a life she never wanted. From the outside, it looks like she has everything, but on the inside, she fears she has nothing that matters. In Madeleine's memories, her grandmother Margie is the kind of woman she should have been--elegant, reserved, perfect. But when Madeleine finds a diary detailing Margie's bold, romantic trip to Jazz Age Paris, she meets the grandmother she never knew: a dreamer who defied her strict, staid family and spent an exhilarating summer writing in cafes, living on her own, and falling for a charismatic artist. Despite her unhappiness, when Madeleine's marriage is threatened, she panics, escaping to her hometown and staying with her critical, disapproving mother. In that unlikely place, shaken by the revelation of a long-hidden family secret and inspired by her grandmother's bravery, Madeleine creates her own Parisian summer--reconnecting to her love of painting, cultivating a vibrant circle of creative friends, and finding a kindred spirit in a down-to-earth chef who reminds her to feed both her body and her heart. Margie and Madeleine's stories intertwine to explore the joys and risks of living life on our own terms, of defying the rules that hold us back from our dreams, and of becoming the people we are meant to be"--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Audiobooks.; Domestic fiction.; Married women; Self-actualization (Psychology) in women; Self-realization in women;

- My face in the light / by Schabas, Martha,author.;
"Perfect for fans of Rachel Cusk and Jenny Offill--a piercing, poignant novel about a scarred actress at a breaking point. Justine feels uneasy in her marriage, her theatre career and her relationship with her estranged mother, a famous painter. An intuitive and uncanny mimic, distinguished by a pronounced scar across her forehead (the result of a childhood accident), Justine has made acting the centre of her life since she was a teenager, but lately her seemingly charmed off-stage life in Toronto has begun to ring false. After a disastrous audition in London, England, a chance encounter with a stranger leads to an unorthodox business proposition that would allow Justine to abandon Toronto indefinitely. She begins to toy with the idea of throwing away the life she is expected to want for the allure of something she can't quite grasp. As the contradictions and complications of leaving one's life behind swell to the point of crisis, Justine must confront the collateral damage of a traumatic past she has long repressed. In psychologically astute prose full of provocative insights and gem-like sentences, My Face in the Light is a moving exploration of truth in art and identity. It's the story of a young woman owning up to the lies she's fallen in love with, and figuring out if she can still recognize herself when she finally lets them go"--- Subjects: Domestic fiction.; Psychological fiction.; Novels.; Actresses; Canadians; Identity (Psychology); Life change events; Truthfulness and falsehood;
