Nothing But the Tooth

Provides practical information and advice on topics related to dental and overall health. Have you ever visited a new dentist and been told you need a "smile makeover," with the implication that if your teeth were whiter and straighter, you would be more successful and happier? Or maybe you've never had a cavity - and now, suddenly, you have a half dozen that require immediate attention. Perhaps you've been told you need a root canal or a crown or implant. What are all these things? Which procedure is best for your situation? Did you leave those offices thinking, "It's not really bothering me. Do I need to get all this work done?"Nothing But the Tooth is a ready guide to dental health that answers all your questions and the ones you didn't even know to ask.

Be Not Afraid of My Body
By Stewart, Darius
From an exhilarating new voice, a breathtaking memoir about gay desire, Blackness, and growing up.Darius Stewart spent his childhood in the Lonsdale projects of Knoxville, where he grew up navigating school, friendship, and his own family life in a context that often felt perilous. As we learn about his life in Tennessee - and eventually in Texas and Iowa, where he studies to become a poet - he details the obstacles to his most crucial desires: hiding his earliest attraction to boys in his neighborhood, predatory stalkers, doomed affairs, his struggles with alcohol addiction, and his eventual diagnosis with HIV. Through a mix of straightforward memoir, brilliantly surreal reveries, and moments of startling imagery and insight, Stewart's explorations of love, illness, chemical dependency, desire, family, joy, shame, loneliness, and beauty coalesce into a wrenching, musical whole.

Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind
By M.d., Dr. Georgia Ede
Combine the surprising truth about brain food with the cutting-edge science of brain metabolism to achieve extraordinary improvements to your emotional, cognitive, and physical health. Are you struggling with attention problems, mood swings, food obsession, or depression? Whatever the issue, you have far more control over your thoughts, feelings, and behavior than you realize. Although medications may bring some relief, in Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, Dr. Georgia Ede reveals that the most powerful way to change brain chemistry is with food, because that's where brain chemicals come from in the first place. In this provocative, illuminating guide, Dr. Ede explains why nearly everything we think we know about brain-healthy diets is wrong. We've been told the way to protect our brains is with superfoods, supplements, and plant-based diets rich in whole grains and legumes, but the science tells a different story: not only do these strategies often fail, but some can even work against us.

The Hunger Habit
By Brewer, Judson
A program proven to heal our relationship with food and our bodies from New York Times bestselling author of Unwinding Anxiety.Sometimes it feels as if there are as many ways to struggle with food as there are foods to eat. Craving, habit, emotions, boredom, stress, anxiety, or just the simple fact that a box of donuts seems to be omnipresent in the break room (free food!) can lead to feeling out of control around food. While anxiety feels like something that happens to us, the pull of food seems like something we should be able to handle. After all, we have to eat! But it's not that simple. The result of this constant struggle - and then giving in or giving up - is a toxic cocktail of shame and self-judgment that makes it feel like it is impossible to change our behavior.

Supercommunicators
By Duhigg, Charles
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit, an investigation of what makes conversations work, and how we can all learn to be supercommunicators at work and in our lives We all know people who seem capable of connecting with almost anyone. They are the ones we turn to for advice, the ones who ask deep questions but also seem to hear what we are trying to say. What do they know about conversation that makes them so special? And what can they tell us about how communication really works? Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg argues, understand - some by intuition, some by hard-won experience - that there is a science to how human beings connect through words. They understand that whenever we speak, we're actually participating in one of three distinct conversations: What is this really about? How do we feel? And who are we? They know the importance of recognizing--and then matching - each kind of conversation, and how to hear the complex emotions, subtle negotiations and hidden beliefs that color and inform everything we say.
