Stop Doing That Sh*t
From the author of the New York Times and international bestseller Unfu*k Yourself Gary John Bishop presents a no-holds-barred guide to breaking through our cycles of self-sabotage to get what we want out of life.In Unfu*k Yourself, Gary John Bishop told us it was time to stop making excuses– to recognize and take responsibility for the negative self-talk holding us back.In Stop Doing That Sh*t, he builds on that message, teaching us how to stop self-sabotaging behavior. Bishop explains how our destructive cycles come down to the way that we’re wired. He then identifies different types of people and the ways we fu*k ourselves over: We can’t save money. We land in the same type of toxic relationship. We’re stuck in a rut at work. Analysing why we act the way we do, including what our common grenades are that blow up our lives, Bishop then shows how we can interrupt the cycle and stop self-sabotaging our lives.Written in the same in your face style as Unfu*k Yourself, Stop Doing that Sh*t will help us get in touch with our psychological machinery so we learn to interrupt negative thoughts and behaviour before they start, allowing us to give our attention to something else, and start to find success in the areas we thought we never could.We can take back our lives. We may have fu*ked up in the past, but Stop Doing That Sh*t will show us how to break the patterns in order to live the lives we yearn to have.
Endure
‘This book is AMAZING!’ – MALCOLM GLADWELL‘If you want to gain insight into the mind of great athletes, adventurers, and peak performers then prepare to be enthralled by Alex Hutchinson’s Endure.’ – BEAR GRYLLSHow high or far or fast can humans go? And what about individual potential: what defines a person’s limits? From running a two-hour marathon to summiting Mount Everest, we’re fascinated by the extremes of human endurance, constantly testing both our physical and psychological limits.In Endure Alex Hutchinson, Ph.D., reveals why our individual limits may be determined as much by our head and heart, as by our muscles. He presents an overview of science’s search for understanding human fatigue, from crude experiments with electricity and frogs’ legs to sophisticated brain imaging technology. Going beyond the traditional mechanical view of human limits, he instead argues that a key element in endurance is how the brain responds to distress signals—whether heat, or cold, or muscles screaming with lactic acid—and reveals that we can train to improve brain response.An elite distance runner himself, Hutchinson takes us to the forefront of the new sports psychology – brain electrode jolts, computer-based training, subliminal messaging – and presents startling new discoveries enhancing the performance of athletes today, showing us how anyone can utilize these tactics to bolster their own performance – and get the most out of their bodies.
Жирные
Это книга о том, почему тучное тело подвергается суровому осуждению и считается патологическим, почему оно является предметом столь интенсивного обсуждения, вращающегося вокруг того, как уменьшить такое тело в размерах до приемлемых, с точки зрения социума и медицины, пропорций. Она посвящена живому опыту тучной телесности: каково это – быть тучным в жирофобном обществе. В ней также освещается фэт-активизм, политика ожирения и связанные с ними споры и разногласия. Всемирно известный социолог Дебора Лаптон исследует жир как артефакт: как телесную субстанцию и телесную форму, которые осмысляются сквозь призму сложных и постоянно меняющихся систем идей, практик, эмоций, материальных объектов и межличностных отношений. Этот анализ выявляет более широкие контексты и течения, в рамках которых осуществляются практики, связанные с человеческим телом и Я. Книга, написанная живым, увлекательным языком, предназначена как для широкой аудитории, так и для студентов и исследователей, интересующихся вопросами политики телесности и здоровья.
