How medicine works and when it doesn't : learning who to trust to get and stay healthy / by Wilson, F. Perry,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."We live in an age of medical miracles. Never in the history of humankind has so much talent and energy been harnessed to cure disease. So why does it feel like it's getting harder to live our healthiest lives? Why does it seem like "experts" can't agree on anything, and why do our interactions with medical professionals feel less personal, less honest, and less impactful than ever? Through stories from his own practice and historical case studies, Dr. F. Perry Wilson, a physician and researcher from the Yale School of Medicine, explains how and why the doctor-patient relationship has eroded in recent years and illuminates how profit-driven companies-from big Pharma to healthcare corporations-have corrupted what should have been medicine's golden age. By clarifying the realities of the medical field today, Dr. Wilson gives readers the tools they need to make informed decisions, from evaluating the validity of medical information online to helping caregivers advocate for their loved ones, in the doctor's office and with the insurance company. Dr. Wilson wants readers to understand medicine and medical science the way he does: as an imperfect and often frustrating field, but still the best option for getting well. To rebuild trust between patients, doctors, medicine, and science, we need to be honest, we need to know how to spot misinformation, and we need to avoid letting skepticism ferment into cynicism. For it is only by redefining "good medicine"-science that is well-researched, rational, safe, effective, and delivered with compassion, empathy, and trust-that the doctor-patient relationship can be truly healed"--

Oonagh Duncan is cutting you off before you order yet another shot of weight loss hype. Not only is she going to put her arm around you and walk you home, she is going to give you a new plan that will leave you feeling optimistic and empowered. Forget the hangover you normally get when your weight loss venture inevitably fails. It's time to make a real change. In Healthy as F*ck, Duncan draws on her 17 years of training experience to drop some knowledge--along with a few f-bombs--and to cut through the confusion about how to get lean and healthy once and for all. She argues that there's only one major difference between those rare unicorns who have managed to lose weight and keep it off and the rest of us: their habits. Once you acknowledge that your pact to quit sugar is only in effect when it's convenient--every day, except for birthdays or when someone brings snacks to work or when ice cream is on sale--and make a few small changes your daily routine, you'll be one giant step closer to reaching your weight loss goals. Let Duncan teach you how to get out of your own way and set yourself up for success. Before you know it, you'll be healthy as f*ck and it will feel effortless."-- Provided by publisher.

A rough way to go / by Garonzik, Sam,author.;
"Peter Greene spends his days taking care of his toddler, Luke; staying on the right side of The Moms in his local beach town; and hanging out with his surf buddy, Frank. Isolated from his former life in finance, and frustrated by his current "out of work" existence, he worries that if he sits around the house for much longer, his workaholic wife might start to lose patience with him. He has few escapes aside from surfing and the love he has for his son. But when the body of wealthy Wall Street investor Robert Townsend washes up on shore one morning, nothing about the incident makes sense to Pete, and he's completely bewildered when the death is ruled an accidental drowning. But when he takes his concerns to the police, they ignore him-so he decides to investigate on his own. Sustained only by the unquestioning devotion of his three-year-old sidekick, Pete starts looking into Townsend's eccentric relatives and employer, the ruthless and secretive private equity firm GDR. But has Pete deluded himself with this misguided quest for redemption? Or has he uncovered something sinister enough to risk his life, and even his family? A Rough Way to Go is a raw, irreverent story that plumbs the depths of masculinity, unemployment, fatherhood, marriage, and modern capitalism-and the struggle to live a purpose driven life"--
