- How to navigate life : the new science of finding your way in school, career, and beyond / by Liang, Belle,author.; Klein, Timothy,author.;
- Includes bibliographical references and index."An essential guide to tackling what students, families, and educators can do now to cut through stress and performance pressure, and find a path to purpose. Today's college-bound kids are stressed, anxious, and navigating demands in their lives unimaginable to a previous generation. They're performance machines, hitting the benchmarks they're "supposed" to in order to reach the next tier of a relentless ladder. Then, their mental and physical exhaustion carries over right into first jobs. What have traditionally been considered the best years of life have become the beaten-down years of life. Belle Liang and Timothy Klein devote their careers both to counseling individual students and to cutting through the daily pressures to show a better way, a framework, and set of questions to find kids' "true north": what really turns them on in life, and how to harness the core qualities that reveal, allowing them to choose a course of study, a college, and a career. Even the gentlest parents and teachers tend to play into pervasive societal pressure for students to perform. And when we take the foot off the gas, we beg the kids to just figure out what their passion is. Neither is a recipe for mental or physical health, or, ironically, for performance or passion. How to Navigate Life shows that successful human beings instead tap into their purpose-the why behind the what and how. Best of all, purpose is a completely translatable quality to every aspect of life, from first jobs to last jobs and everything in between"--

- 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.

- Navigating life with Parkinson's disease / by Parashos, Sotirios A.,author.; Wichmann, Rose L.,author.; American Academy of Neurology.;
- Includes bibliographical references and index."It is hard to believe it has been only 7 years since the publication of our first edition. In this short time, so much has changed in what we know about Parkinson's disease and how to treat it. As I read through the first edition, I found much information was already out of date within 4 years from publication. New knowledge about the role of protein misfolding and how it leads to nerve cell damage in Parkinson's, about when and where the disease may be starting, about how it may progress and spread through the brain, about how it affects almost all aspects of body functions, about how all this new knowledge is shaping the quest for a cure, about how important exercise is, and about how the multidisciplinary approach to disease management changes the quality of life of people with Parkinson's has been accumulating at a dizzying pace. More than 200 years after the publication of Parkinson's An Essay on the Shaking Palsy and just over 50 years after the implementation of levodopa in Parkinson's treatment, it looks as though scientists are poised to make a breakthrough toward effective treatments of the disease itself, not just the symptoms, and paths that may eventually lead to a cure are now visible. Such progress would be impossible without the hard work of many researchers; the financial support of the corresponding government agencies; the advocacy of national and international Parkinson's organizations and the philanthropy of their donors; and the tireless efforts and open minds of the doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers caring for people with Parkinson's and their families. Above all, none of this progress would be possible without the active participation of people with Parkinson's and their families through advocacy, community engagement, and participation in clinical trials. To them we would like to extend a great "thank you"."--
