We all know we should save for retirement, right? But we don't. We're just not sure where to start...or when. Experts use complicated terminology and conjure up magic numbers. Do we really need to set aside a million dollars? And if we don't have a snowball's chance in hell of saving that much, should we even bother to try? Gail's answers are no and yes - no, there is no magic number that fits everyone, and yes, you must bother! The hardest part of retirement planning is getting started, so Gail walks you through the steps to put momentum on your side.

When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You’ll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution. In 1980, shortly after founding of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated. In his magnum opus, Rodney incisively argues that grasping "the great divergence" between the West and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the repercussions of European colonialism in Africa remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.

A tender, powerful, and achievable path to the everyday resiliency we all need to navigate the uncertainty in our lives. An inspiring new voice in resiliency, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe believes that our modern conception of resiliency as “fighting” or being “tougher” is misguided. Learning happens when we are able to trust and feel safe; fear and shame are barriers, not facilitators, for authentic growth, acceptance, and change. Dr. Robyne maps out a kinder approach to taking on the challenges of life and developing authentic self-alignment and balance.

It's not you; it's your schedule. Does it sound like magic? It's not. We've all heard of circadian rhythms - those biological processes that give us jet lag and make us night owls or early birds. But few of us know just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect our overall health. Bad habits - like skipping meals, squeezing in workouts, working late into the night and then trying to catch up on sleep during the weekend - disrupt our natural cycles. A growing body of research on chronobiology reveals just how sensitive the human body is to these rhythms all the way down to the genetic level.

Light bulb moment that allowed me to start healing
- Écrit par Meredith Schuurman le 2019-01-16
Auteur(s): Jackson MacKenzie
Description
Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain, yet we know very little about how it works. Gut: The Inside Story is an entertaining, informative tour of the digestive system from the moment we raise a tasty morsel to our lips until the moment our body surrenders the remnants to the toilet bowl. No topic is too lowly for the author's wonder and admiration, from the careful choreography of breaking wind to the precise internal communication required for a cleansing vomit. Along the way, the author provides practical advice, such as the best ways to sit on the toilet to have a comfortable bowel movement, how clean your kitchen should be for optimum gut health, and how different laxatives work. She tells stories of gut bacteria that can lead to obesity, autoimmune diseases, or even suicide, and she discusses the benefits of dietary supplements, such as probiotics.
This book is a fascinating primer for anyone interested in how our ideas about the gut are changing in the light of cutting-edge scientific research. In the words of the author, "We live in an era in which we are just beginning to understand just how complex the connections are between us, our food, our pets, and the microscopic world in, on, and around us. We are gradually decoding processes that we used to believe were part of our inescapable destiny."

Have new respect for this organ
Beautiful and yet informatively written book. Giulia Enders explains very well how the digestive system works using enough medical terms and enough layman term explanation not to offend the somewhat educated and the not so educated in the field readers/listeners. Hope she writes a book for each organ of the body.

informative but dry, and poor audio
Very interesting content but not read in the most easy to follow way. I found myself zoning out a lot. Also the audio quality is not the best, sounds like the recording device picked up too much ambient noise, or maybe the mic was too close? I don't know but it is fuzzy and even with the volume cranked I couldn't always understand what she was saying unless sitting in a completely quiet room. That being said it wasn't very long so I stuck with it for the information!

Doctors opinion
I'm an anesthesiologist who is fresh enough out of medical school to remember all the GI lectures and I can say that this book CORRECTLY explains in a understandable way the current medical fields understanding of our gut. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their lives (through understanding of their own GI system) or is just curious about how it all works down there. Keep up the good work!

Best Gut Microbe Book Around
If you are looking for a book on gut microbes and want to avoid pseudoscience and delve into a book which contains solid science, this book is an excellent choice. Oddly, I find that ratings for pseudoscience books like Perlmutter's Grain Brain are often higher than they are for books written by responsible scientists who will not make claims or provide any suggestions that are not scientifically studied and replicated. My guess is that real science, which doesn't yet have all the answers about microbes, is far less sexy than pseudoscience books that can make any claim or suggestion they like, while playing fast and loose with the actual available evidence.
The Good Gut by the Sonnenberg's contained a hippie vibe as well as solid science. This book has less of a hippie vibe but is far more rigorous than even the Sonneberg's book. So even if you were hoping for more of a hippie vibe, I would actually recommend this book over The Good Gut, only because it's actual scientific content is better. Adding to that, Enders is a fantastic writer and her tour of the human digestive system was absolutely fantastic. I have not found such a wonderful description in any other book.

Brilliant
THIS is the one gut book you need! Funny, well informed, and dare I say, life changing? From the position you use to defecate, to your water intake, to your new best friend bacteria.
I know, there are a lot of books have been written about the microbiome, some with more woo than others, but this one outstrips them in clarity and and humor. Giulia Enders is funny, clever and level headed. It is easy as pie to follow her explanations of the world inside. I love a nonfiction writer who appreciates the power of an anecdotes and quips and Enders is brilliant with them.
Katy Sobey's soothing narration never flags and is clear as a bell. I now want her to explain all biological systems to me.

Better Than "Gulp"!
I like Mary Roach, a lot. But she has a deviously wicked way of wantonly wallowing in the perversely humorous. While I smile a lot with her books, my toes have a tendency of curling...
"Gut" was delightful without being, well, dare I say it? Gross. Even though topics are covered such as: Is it better to sit or squat whilst pooing (Squat! Squat!)
And I was reminded of the "Time with Timer" series that used to come on after school (yes, I'm that old), where a microscopic being would take kids on tours of the inner body. Okay, so now I'll really relish each bite of cake I ever eat again.
I found this book to be enlightening, entertaining, wonderfully narrated. And as somebody who has trouble with crazy diets, I do believe it'll be helpful as I treat to eat mindfully.
And bravo to people who volunteer for scientific studies! And kudos to the hamsters who are probably wondering, "You want to study THAT? From me?!?"
A wonderful, gigglesome 7+ hour journey into that final frontier: You

I'm not going to nitpick, this was very informative and entertaining. Anything I disagree with (I'm a nutrition scientist) was still cutting-edge and controversial when this came out. Very little to contend anyway.
Very good read!

Bright, funny, informative, well-read
As an American physician, I found that I had quite a bit to learn from my German counterpart more than 40 years my junior. For example, I, as well as none of my learned colleagues had ever heard of Roemheld Syndrome, though the more flexibly minded among us found the concept interesting and likely applicable. Enders makes sure we'll never look at our gastrointestinal tracts in quite the same way ever again. Lots of laughs along the way, and I found much of her millennial humor to be ageless. The Brit reading this excellent translation of Darm mit Charme did a brilliant job and she was delightful to listen to. Enders' sister's illustrations are both helpful and funny, down to the "end" page, making a companion Kindle purchase of the book worthwhile, aside from obvious reference value. Also, I tried some of her ideas regarding pre-biotics and probiotics, etc., and can already report that my microbiota as well as myself are feeling more energetic. I "read" at least 100 Audible titles a year, and this one rates in the top 10%.

Inside Scoop
Wonderful book. If you want to know what's going on on the inside then this is the book you need to read. It covers everything from how the macronutrients in our foods are processed by our bodies to how the microbiota in our gut pretty much regulates and controls our overall health.

Fascinating, but a little thin on research
While I found the overall book interesting, along with the subject, the author comes to a great many conclusions with statements like "initial research is encouraging" or "future research might reveal" which is not science. I think the author's enthusiasm to contribute to a new and growing pool get in the way of sound and defensible conclusions that adhere to scientific method. What you're getting is her "gut" feeling on things a lot of the time. There are interesting studies and the science of gut bacteria is growing, but few conclusions in this book are backed up by real, hard science.

Informative and engaging ... and well read.
Dr Enders has done a beautiful job of marrying science with wit. This life-changing book, which reveals the power of the microbiome, is as informative as it is engaging thanks to great narration and skillfully interspersed humour. A must read for all who plan on trusting their gut!
