The Rock : through the lens : his life, his movies, his world / by Garcia, Hiram,1976-author,photographer.;
"Dynamic, funny, and inspiring photos of global entertainment icon, entrepreneur, and trailblazer, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, featuring twenty years' worth of candids, family moments, and snapshots from film and television sets, many never-before-seen. Hiram Garcia has known his subject for decades-he's a college friend, former brother-in-law, and producing partner of Dwayne Johnson, known from his wrestling days on as "The Rock." Garcia is also a talented amateur photographer, who has taken scores of images on the sets of many of the Seven Bucks Productions' movies, including Jumanji 2, Jungle Cruise, and more. He knows Dwayne Johnson inside and out, and that intimacy brings his photography to life. Whether it's an action photo of DJ in character or a charming shot of Johnson with one of his daughters, Garcia focuses his lens on the qualities he admires in his friend: his extraordinary work ethic, his infectious smile, his sense of humor, and the joy and determination he brings to everything he does. With intimate photos from Johnson's life, work, and world--many of them never seen before--The Rock: Through the Lens is enhanced by rich captions telling stories only an insider could share"--

Includes bibliographical references and index.Heal your anxiety, burnout, feelings of overwhelm, and chronic physical symptoms by healing your dysregulated nervous system with this straightforward 5-stage roadmap. Drawing upon the latest scientific research in neurobiology, chronic stress, trauma, and sensitivity, Heal Your Nervous System will guide you to rebuilding a thriving nervous system. Dr. Linnea Passaler has helped thousands globally in her digital health program address a wide range of symptoms associated with nervous system dysregulation-from mental symptoms including anxiety, burnout, and brain fog, to physical symptoms, such as digestive issues, chronic inflammation, and fatigue. Now, Dr. Passaler presents her 5-stage plan developed over the last decade to equip readers with the knowledge to understand and regulate their unique nervous systems. Despite its advances, conventional medicine has often overlooked the importance of nervous system regulation in our health and quality of life. This is especially true for highly sensitive individuals, who may be more susceptible to a dysregulated nervous system. Instead of merely treating the symptoms, Dr. Passaler shows you how to make a profound shift from reactive treatment to proactive healing. Grounded in recent scientific advances, this is not a short-term or one-size-fits-all solution, but a comprehensive strategy to tackle the source of your symptoms, and restore your physical, cognitive, and emotional health.

How to be a boss b*tch : stop apologizing for who you are and get the life you want / by Quinn, Christine,author.; Holtzman, Rachel,author.;
"Part manifesto, part tell-all, Christine Quinn's How to Be a Boss Bitch brings readers all the details of her journey from high school dropout and Texas bartender to self-made millionaire, entrepreneur, and reality TV star. Quinn has been called everything from "the most-talked-about woman on TV" to "the villain 2020 needed." When competitive colleagues, ex-boyfriends, or cast mates call her a bitch, she says thank you. She doesn't apologize for any of the qualities that got her the success she has today: tenacity, outspoken confidence, and fearless authenticity, all while dressed in full glam and Balenciaga. When Christine talks about not apologizing she is not proposing that you treat others poorly or dismissively, but rather to stop wasting time feeling bad for youthful mistakes, for ambition, or for demanding that your partner steps up and does their fair share. It is this apologizing, she argues, that holds us back, and once we confront it and learn to acknowledge and then sidestep it, we can truly become the boss bitches that we are meant to be"--

Includes bibliographical references."Waking up with another hangover as the thirty-nine-year-old mother of a newborn, Suzanne Warye decided enough was enough. It was time to quit alcohol for good. In the years since, Suzanne has uncovered the myth of moderation and the limitations of the hitting rock bottom narrative. Today, she is a model for hundreds of thousands of people around the world who are embracing her brand of joyful sobriety. Too many of us are taught not to question or examine our relationship with drinking until we're addicted, or until we experience an intervention or another life-shattering consequence. We're encouraged to enjoy this highly addictive substance "responsibly." The Sober Shift is about finding true abundance-as a better partner and a more present parent, and as the architect of a life you love-without buying into the lies of "wine o'clock." Suzanne knows that many of us fear that, without the crutch of alcohol, we might not know how to relax, decompress, or spend quality time with our loved ones. She's been there. And she's here to tell you that a good life awaits when we walk away from the bottle. Written with her trademark flair and engaging sense of humor, blending memoir with takeaways and cultural insights, and featuring delicious mocktail recipes to celebrate the seasons-including Virgin Rosemary Moscow Mule, Sparkling Thyme Cider, Cranberry Orange Fizz, Tart Cherry Spritz, and The Soberita-this affirming guide will help you find freedom from alcohol.

Kin : the future of family / by Johnson, Sophie Lucido,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Doesn't it seem like there simply isn't enough time to take care of ourselves, our families, and our to do lists? Even when we're partnered and surrounded by friends, we're often too afraid of burdening others to ask for help. So how do we survive today's age of overwork and stress, and who can we turn to for the support we need to stay afloat? Now, writer and cartoonist Sophie Lucido Johnson offers a radical answer to our age of overwhelm in Kin. With richly reported stories and insights from psychology and sociology, Lucido Johnson explores the importance of our closest relationships (beyond the nuclear family) and provides the tools to forge kinship: relationships built on emotional support, physical care, and shared resources. From asking for help on a grocery run, to choosing to have roommates later in life to combat loneliness, to living in modern day "mommunes" of single mothers sharing bills and responsibilities, Kin shows the vast range of kinship structures she and others are thriving in--and how to build your own community of support."--

The how not to diet cookbook : 100+ recipes for healthy, permanent weight loss / by Greger, Michael,author.; Robertson, Robin(Robin G.),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From Michael Greger, M.D., FACLM, the author of the New York Times bestseller How Not to Die, comes a four-color, fully illustrated cookbook that shares the science of long-term weight-loss success. Dr. Michael Greger founded the viral website Nutritionfacts.org with the aim to educate the public about what healthy eating looks like and connect them with a community through food-related podcasts, videos, and blogs. Since then, Nutritionfacts.org has grown and so has Dr. Greger's platform. How Not to Die and the How Not to Die Cookbook were instant hits, and now he's back with a new book about mindful dieting-how to eat well, lose, and keep unwanted weight off in a healthy, accessible way that's not so much a diet as it is a lifestyle. Greger offers readers delicious yet healthy options that allow them to ditch the idea of "dieting" altogether. As outlined in his book How Not to Diet, Greger believes that identifying the twenty-one weight-loss accelerators in our bodies and incorporating new, cutting-edge medical discoveries are integral in putting an end to the all-consuming activity of counting calories and getting involved in expensive juice cleanses and Weight Watchers schemes. How Not to Diet Cookbook is primed to be a revolutionary new addition to the cookbook industry: incredibly effective and designed for everyone looking to make changes to their dietary habits to improve their quality of life, weight loss notwithstanding"--

Beating endo : how to reclaim your life from endometriosis / by Orbuch, Iris Kerin,author.; Stein, Amy,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Approximately one out of every 10 women has endometriosis, an inflammatory disease that causes chronic pain, limits life's activities, and may lead to infertility. Despite the disease's prevalence, the average woman may suffer for a decade or more before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Once she does, she's often given little more than a prescription for pain killers and a referral for the wrong kind of surgery. Beating Endo arms women with what has long been missing -- even within the medical community -- namely, cutting-edge knowledge of how the disease works and what the endo sufferer can do to take charge of her fight against it. Leading gynecologist and endometriosis specialist Dr. Iris Kerin Orbuch and world-renowned pelvic pain specialist and physical therapist Dr. Amy Stein have long partnered with each other and with other healthcare practitioners to address the disease's host of co-existing conditions -- which can include pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, gastrointestinal ailments, painful bladder syndrome, central nervous system sensitization -- through a whole-mind/whole-body approach. Now, Beating Endo formalizes the multimodal program they developed, offering readers an anti-inflammatory lifestyle protocol that incorporates physical therapy, nutrition, mindfulness, and environment to systematically addresses each of the disease's co-conditions on an ongoing basis up to and following excision surgery. This is the program that has achieved successful outcomes for their patients; it is the program that works to restore health, vitality, and quality of life to women with endo. No more "misdiagnosis roulette" and no more limits on women's lives: Beating Endo puts the tools of renewed health in the hands of those whose health is at risk.

Work rules! : insights from inside Google that will transform how you live and lead / by Bock, Laszlo.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."We spend more time working than doing anything else in life. It's not right that the experience of work should be so demotivating and dehumanizing." So says Laszlo Bock, head of People Operations at the company that transformed how the world interacts with knowledge. This insight is the heart of WORK RULES!, a compelling and surprisingly playful manifesto with the potential to change how we work and live. Drawing on the latest research in behavioral economics and with a profound grasp of human psychology, Bock also provides teaching examples from a range of industries -- including companies that are household names but hideous places to work, and little-known companies that achieve spectacular results by valuing and listening to their employees. Bock takes us inside one of history's most explosively successful businesses to reveal why Google is consistently rated one of the best places to work in the world, distilling 15 years of intensive worker R&D into delightfully counterintuitive principles that are easy to put into action, whether you're a team of one or a team of thousands. Cleaving the knot of conventional management, some lessons from WORK RULES! include: Take away managers' power over employees, Learn from your best employees - and your worst, Only hire people who are smarter than you are, no matter how long it takes to find them, Pay unfairly (it's fairer!), Don't trust your gut: use data to predict and shape the future, Default to open: be transparent, and welcome feedback, If you're comfortable with the amount of freedom you've given your employees, you haven't gone far enough. WORK RULES! shows how to strike a balance between creativity and structure, leading to success you can measure in quality of life as well as market share. Read it to build a better company from within rather than from above; read it to reawaken your joy in what you do"--Provided by publisher.
