In the annals of ancient teachings there were secrets ensuring robust health, emotional harmony, enduring vitality and a lifespan of 100 years and beyond. Yet, in our frenzied, polluted modern world, these aspirations seem impossible. But what if they weren't? In Radical Resilience, an anesthesiologist/pediatrician turned acupuncture practitioner and researcher explores these age-old promises.Drawing on recent discoveries in immunology, neuroscience, longevity research and complexity science, K. Sparrow, MD takes acupuncture and other practices from the realm of placebo to scientifically grounded, plausible and useful, with potentially profound implications for health and medicine.Radical Resilience includes insights from major researchers and prominent thought leaders from medical and non-medical worlds, intertwined with compelling stories of acupuncture patients and real-life examples from the headlines. With her many years of experience in major medical institutions, Dr. Sparrow offers readers an understanding of modern medicine's shortcomings, perverse incentives and biases which can lead to unfortunate outcomes. To learn how to avoid them, readers will explore concepts such as hormesis, vagal improvement and harm avoidance, which are vital to achieving resilience.Armed with new mental models, readers will understand the central roles of stress, autonomic balance and inflammation in countless conditions, from migraine and irritable bowel disease to cancer and Alzheimer's, reinforcing the ancient teaching that all systems are connected. By the end, they will see that even "well-being," a previously elusive state, is quantifiable-and that through the lens of modern science, the invisible has become visible.Consider this your handbook for vigorous health, improved mood and longer life, and prepare to expand your mental models and grasp the extraordinary possibility of "radical resilience."

In the face of growing concerns about climate change, aviation faces an existential crisis.The industry contributes three percent to global carbon emissions, and without significant changes, that figure could increase drastically as air traffic continues to grow. As world governments continue to roll out new environmental regulations, public opinion is up in the air about what role aviation should play in our society. To face these challenges, airlines are switching from fossil-fuel based kerosene to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in a push to lower emissions to net-zero, while electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft could make true zero aviation a reality in the coming decades. Even so, scaling these new technologies is extraordinarily complex, requiring major innovation in the air and on the ground. Fortunately, there are entrepreneurs, executives and investors facing these challenges head-on, charting a path for others to follow.Sustainability in the Air shares the journeys of these bold innovators to lay bare the innovations, insights and best practices of the next era of aviation. Complete with case studies and interviews with these changemakers, Sustainability in the Air teaches readers how:-Air Company made vodka from thin air to test technology for sustainable jet fuel-Archer Aviation plans to bring a futurist vision of urban air mobility to life with short-range electric aircraft (eVTOLs)-Heart Aerospace's innovative R&D helped them design a new electric aircraft from scratch on a budget-ZeroAvia plans to enable hydrogen-powered flight for a true-zero future of aviation -Embraer will make regional flights sustainable with a new family of aircraftPlus, lessons from airline leaders at KLM, Etihad Airways, JetBlue, SkyTeam and more.The stories in Sustainability in the Air make it clear: to become truly sustainable, aviation must address investment, R&D, logistics, regulation and culture problems-often all at once. While this transformation won't happen without a little turbulence, the industry has dozens of innovators who are working full throttle for a sustainable future.

Born into a turbulent and dysfunctional family-and surrounded by adults who were regularly using marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, heroin and crystal meth-Nick Terry TNT bounced around the Pacific Northwest throughout the 1980s, going to 13 different schools before being expelled in 10th grade. By his teens, Nick had entered a life of addiction and crime and was desperate to escape before ending up dead or in prison. To avoid pending legal charges, Nick fled to Hawaii where he became a father-but his unchecked drug use continued to eat away at his life and family. After multiple attempts at sobriety through traditional treatment and 12-Step recovery, Nick found success through full surrender and commitment to the process-but after four years of sobriety, he hit a wall. A breakthrough came when he discovered breathwork, which he came to believe is the missing piece of the recovery puzzle. In Breath of Life: Finding Long-Term Recovery with Breathwork and Stepwork, Nick shares how he transformed from wayward addict to breathwork and recovery life coach, and offers his holistic, much-needed perspective on how others can do the same. In homage to the Big Book of AA, Breath of Life is divided into sections explaining: ¿ Nick's harrowing, decades-long battle with addiction and what turned it around ¿ 8 spiritual principles of lasting recovery blending holistic teachings and traditional stepwork ¿ A beginner's approach to breathwork and morning routines (used by Nick himself) ¿ Firsthand stories from recovering addicts who have benefitted from Nick's approach ¿ A breathwork appendix with conscious breathing, cyclical sighing and Breath of Life exercises (and more) In the end, Breath of Life draws on 12-Step teachings, ancient spiritual wisdom, modern science and Nick's raw life experience to forge an effective and holistic new recovery path. The result is a genre-defying, holistic recovery handbook that synthesizes all existing paradigms, all while adding a much needed breath of fresh air.
