Joyspan: the art and science of thriving in life's second half / by Burnight, Kerry,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.From America's Gerontologist, a practical guide that offers a radical and optimistic approach to longevity. Dr. Kerry Burnight -- known to her many followers as "Dr. Kerry" -- is sparking a revolution to make older better. Fed up with the fear driven, anti-aging hysteria, hundreds of thousands of people turn to Dr. Kerry for her practical, effective and uplifting approach to navigating longevity -- our parents' and our own. In Joyspan, Dr. Kerry shares her popular philosophy and tools in a comprehensive resource that moves readers from fear to peaceful confidence. Dr. Kerry's insights, along with those of her inspiring 95 year-old mother Betty, are based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isn't the length of your life, it's the quality of your life. Books that advance lifespan and "healthspan" don't address the whole picture. Dr. Kerry introduces readers to the critical concept of "joyspan" based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, choice, and purpose. Part manifesto, part how-to guide, Joyspan proves that internal strength is as critical as external fitness. Filled with both perspective-shifting strategies and troubleshooting for the specific challenges of aging -- including caregiving, dementia, unexpected diagnoses, isolation, uncoupling via death or divorce, financial concerns, and more -- this book is an essential resource for a generation looking for a better way to grow older -- and to help our aging parents do the same.

Come together : the science (and art!) of creating lasting sexual connections / by Nagoski, Emily,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An illuminating exploration of how to maintain a happy sex life in a long-term relationship, from the New York Times bestselling author of Come as You Are and co-author of Burnout. In Come as You Are, Emily Nagoski, PhD, provided science-backed lessons that revolutionized the way we think about women's sexuality. Now, in Come Together, Nagoski takes on a fundamentally misunderstood subject: good sex. Nagoski breaks down the myths many of us have been taught about sex-for instance, the belief that sexual satisfaction and desire are highest at the beginning of a relationship and that they will inevitably decline the longer that relationship lasts. Nagoski assures us that's not true. So, what is true? Come Together isn't about how much we want sex, or how often we're having it; it's about whether we like the sex we're having. Nagoski breaks down the obstacles that impede us from enjoying sex-from stress and body image, to relationship difficulties and gendered beliefs about how sex "should" be-and presents the best ways to overcome them. You'll learn: That "spontaneous desire" is not the kind of desire to strive for if you want to have great sex for decades. Vocabulary for talking with partners about ways to get in "the mood" and how to not take it personally when "the mood" is nowhere to be found. How to understand your own and your partners' "emotional floorplan," so that you have a blueprint for how to get to a sexy state of mind. With her signature insight, humor, and empathy, Nagoski shows us what great sex can look like, how to create it in our own lives, and what to do when struggles arise"--

The brain at rest : how the art and science of doing nothing can improve your life / by Jebelli, Joseph,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A narrative exploration of the science of "doing nothing" and its astonishing benefits for the brain and body, from neuroscientist and author of How the Mind Changed Everything Dr. Joseph Jebelli. We are living in the age of burnout -- even in our quietest moments, we are busier than ever, overwhelmed, and unable to disconnect from work, relationships, and current events. We view productivity as good, and idleness as bad, yet the secret to enhancing intelligence, creativity, social empathy, and emotional processing lies in a single act -- doing nothing. In The Brain at Rest, Dr. Joseph Jebelli blends science, stories, and practical tips in a nuanced exploration of the "default network," a brain system that participates in daydreaming, reflective thinking, and visualizing the future. In doing so, he shows the benefits of harnessing this network, such as reducing chances of developing depression and dementia, and helps us put these findings into practice. Perfect for readers interested in science and creativity, or anyone feeling overwhelmed in their day-to-day life, The Brain at Rest is a deeply-researched and entertaining antidote to burnout that definitively proves how even 5 to 10 minutes of doing nothing can better our lives"--

The Brain at Rest How the Art and Science of Doing Nothing Can Improve Your Life [electronic resource] : by Jebelli, Joseph.aut; CloudLibrary;
From Joseph Jebelli, PhD, neuroscientist and author of In Pursuit of Memory, a narrative exploration of the science of doing nothing and its benefits for the brain and body. We are constantly told to make the most of our time. Work harder, with more focus. Stop procrastinating. Optimize. To be happy, creative, and successful requires discipline. The most important thing is to be efficient with every precious hour. But what if all that advice was wrong, and letting the brain rest, and the mind wander, could improve our lives? Dr. Joseph Jebelli proves this surprising and fascinating point in The Brain at Rest, blending science and personal stories with practical tips about using the brain’s “default network,” which turns itself on when we turn off the constant need to always do and achieve. By activating our default network through long walks, baths, and spending time in nature, we can all be more content, less stressed, and actually more productive. Perfect for anyone interested in science and creativity, or anyone feeling overwhelmed in their day-to-day lives, The Brain at Rest is a deeply researched and entertaining antidote to overwork and burnout, showing readers the way to happier, healthier, and more balanced lives.
