Control your body. Control your mind. The revolutionary first book from the most influential science communicator of our time. When you control your body, you control your mind. From joy, to calm, to focus, we spend our lives trying to control our mental states. But we usually fail. The reason? We are focusing on our minds when we should be focusing on our bodies. Stanford neuroscience professor Andrew Huberman - creator of the phenomenal The Huberman Lab podcast - is the world's leading expert on the interaction of our nervous system and our mental state. His research has led him to a handful of simple tweaks to our bodies that transform how we think. He calls them the protocols. Here, Huberman uncovers how these protocols can unexpectedly revolutionise our mood, our focus and our health. His endlessly surprising insights include- - How learning to blink less can make you focus more - How seeing daylight immediately upon waking up can boost your energy levels - How 'Non-Sleep Deep Rest' can help sustain you for hours longer without sleep On every page, Protocols offers scientific advice unlike anything you have read before. By transforming what you do, it will transform how you think.

<p><b>FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF <i>EVERYTHING FAT LOSS</i></b><br/><br/><b>Good habits are powerful. They bring about change one step at a time, until it becomes second nature.</b><br/><br/>But when it comes to fat loss, too often the focus is on <i>bad </i>habits. We're bombarded with articles and videos telling us why this food is bad, or this food is good, or this food is poison, and so forth. It makes the internet a hard place to navigate when looking for basic nutrition advice, and it's not surprising that so many of us feel confused about what to eat.<br/><br/>Ben Carpenter is a fitness coach, research nerd and trusted source of no bullshit fat loss information who has spent his entire adult life working in the fitness industry, researching the real science behind fat loss and answering questions with simple, unbiased answers.<br/><br/>Ben's point is this: <b>The best weight loss diet doesn't exist.</b><br/><br/>Despite peoples' attempts to persuade us, no weight loss diet is clearly superior. Not low carb, not keto, not low fat, not intermittent fasting. They all work for weight loss in the short term and tend to fizzle out in the long term. So, it's important to have other stronger, longer-lasting motivators that make us want to keep physically healthy. And the easiest way to do this is by introducing simple, effective habits.<br/><br/>If you want lasting success, you don't need yet another short-term crash diet. So, what do you need? You need healthy behaviours that you can actually sustain over a longer period of time.<br/><br/>So, let's shift the focus towards what really matters. This book is<i> Fat Loss Habits.</i></p>

<p>We live in an epidemic of anxiety. Most of us assume that the key to overcoming it is to think our way out. And for a while it works. But there is always something that sends us back into the anxious spiral we&rsquo;ve been trying to climb out of. In Beyond Anxiety, Dr. Martha Beck explains why anxiety is skyrocketing around you, and likely within you. She also tells you how to not only reduce your anxiety but use it to propel you into a life filled with peace, meaning, and joy. Using a combination of the latest neuroscience as well as her background in sociology and coaching, Beck explains how our brains tend to get stuck in an &ldquo;anxiety spiral,&rdquo; a feedback system that can increase anxiety indefinitely. To climb out, we must engage different parts of our nervous system&mdash;the parts involved in creativity. Beck provides instructions for engaging the &ldquo;creativity spiral,&rdquo; in a process that not only shuts down anxiety but leads to innovative problem solving, a sense of meaning and purpose, and joyful, intimate connection with others&mdash;and with the world. The opposite of anxiety, it turns out, is a wonderful new way of life&mdash;one that can calm and inspire us as individuals and help us become a source of healing for everything around us.</p>

<p><b>From generational icon Brooke Shields comes an intimate and empowering exploration of ageing that flips the script on the idea of what it means for a woman to grow older</b><br/><br/>Brooke Shields has spent a lifetime in the public eye. Growing up as a child actor and model, her every feature was scrutinised, her every decision judged. Today Brooke faces a different kind of scrutiny: that of being a 'woman of a certain age'.<br/><br/>And yet, for Brooke, the passage of time has brought freedom. At fifty-nine, she feels more comfortable in her skin, more empowered and confident than she did decades ago in those famous Calvin Kleins. Now, in <i>Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old</i>, she's changing the narrative about women and ageing.<br/><br/>This is an era, insists Brooke, when women are reclaiming agency and power, not receding into the shadows. These are the years when we get to decide how we want to live - when we get to write our own stories.<br/><br/>With remarkable candour, Brooke bares all, painting a vibrant and optimistic picture of being a woman in the prime of her life, while dismantling the myths that have, for too long, dimmed that perception. Sharing her own life experiences with humour and humility, and weaving together research and reporting, Brooke takes aim at the systemic factors that contribute to age-related bias.<br/><br/>By turns inspiring, moving, and galvanising, Brooke's honesty and vulnerability will resonate with women everywhere, and spark a new conversation about the power and promise of midlife.</p>

<p> <strong>Human olfaction - the sense of smell - enables us to appreciate food and drink, it warns us of dangers and it makes our environments more enjoyable. However, olfaction is one of our least explored sensory systems. Until now.</strong> </p> <p>Smells and scents are the colour that enrich our experience of life. Ask anyone to reflect on their sense of smell, and they immediately start talking. First there are discussions about food and wine, but pretty quickly they move on to personal topics: about the smells that evoke memories of childhood, dead relatives, pregnancy, love and sex. When people talk about their sense of smell, they also tell us something about themselves, their feelings, thoughts and relationships. Thus, the sense of smell not only reflects the chemical world outside us, but also bears witness to our inner world, our feelings and thoughts.</p> <p><em>The Forgotten Sense</em> explores the unknown mind and how it shapes people: Why can smells evoke such strong memories? How much can body odors control who you fall in love with? How sensitive is the human sense of smell? In many ways these questions are on the very forefront of our understanding, but Dr Jonas Olofsson has spent years studying the least understood of our senses. And he has discovered that it is actually possible to improve and refine one's sense of smell, to develop it into a more useful tool to bring a powerful immediacy to your life.</p>
