The Pursuit of Endurance empowers readers to unlock phenomenal endurance and leverage newfound grit to achieve personal bests in everything from sports and family to the boardroom.
National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and Appalachian Trail record setter Jennifer Pharr Davis sets out on a new quest to find out what defines endurance, where it comes from, and how we can harness it to achieve our dreams.
On July 31, 2011, Jennifer Pharr Davis set the FKT (fastest known time) record on the Appalachian Trail, completing the trail in just 46 days, 11 hours and 20 minutes—a feat that takes most hikers six months. Hiking an average of 47 miles per day, Davis was the first woman to claim the overall title on the Appalachian Trail.
Since her thru-hike record, which she held for four years, Davis has set out on a new quest—the quest to find out what exactly defines endurance, where it comes from, if gender plays a role, and how we can we harness it to achieve our dreams. THE PURSUIT OF ENDURANCE: Harnessing the Record-Breaking Power of Strength and Resilience, aims to answer those questions, and more, through interviews with renowned endurance athletes, fellow record setters, an exercise physiology expert, and through her own accomplishments in the world of endurance hiking, backpacking, and trail running.

ABOUT PAMELA GIUSTO-SORRELLS
Pamela Giusto-Sorrells is passionate about food and passionate about people. So much so that in 1988, filled with compassion for eaters limited to tasteless food due to health considerations, she founded a company dedicated to baking gluten-free foods so delicious that no one would know the difference. To this day, she personally develops each of the products that bear her name, with new recipes continually under development, often based on customers’ inquires and needs.
Giusto-Sorrells is a third generation natural food industry pioneer who grew up in a family which included a natural food store proprietor and artisan bakers.
Established by Pamela’s grandparents in 1941, the Golden Crescent was one of the first health food stores in San Francisco. Years, later, her father grew the business into a wholesale bakery, where one of Pamela’s responsibilities was packaging a variety of cookies made with safflower oil (and no preservatives of course): sticky macaroons, molasses bars, and gluten-free confections made of rice and soy flour that her family had made since the 1940s. Pamela was seasoned in the values on which she would later build her own business: that ingredients must be wholesome, that customers must be able to know without a doubt that the product meets their dietary needs – however unique – and that recipes must be so delicious that everyone could enjoy them.
To the delight of customers seeking wheat-free cookies the whole family would crave, Pamela’s Products started by developing delicious tasting Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies and rich Peanut Butter Cookies. From the picturesque Ukiah Valley, Pamela’s Products now proudly offers an expansive line of baking mixes, cookies, fig bars, snack bars and her newest introduction, Graham-style crackers.
As the company heads into its twenty-seventh year, Giusto-Sorrells remains at the heart of a business that continues to lead the way in bringing home-baked, convenient indulgence through an ever-expanding array of delicious gluten-free choices for all to enjoy.

4/9 9:45am pst - Tara Cousineau, author of The Kindness Cure: How the Science of Compassion Can Heal Your Heart and Your World, joins Janeane on KUCI ...

It’s time for a kindness revolution. In The Kindness Cure, psychologist Tara Cousineau draws on cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to show how simple practices of kindness—for ourselves, for others, and for our world—can dissolve our feelings of fear and indifference, and open us up to a life of profound happiness.
Compassion for ourselves and others is our birthright as humans—hardwired into our DNA and essential to our happiness. But in our fast-paced, technical savvy and hyper competitive world, it may come as no surprise that rates of narcissism have risen, while empathy levels have declined. We now find ourselves in a “cool to be cruel” culture where it’s easy to feel disillusioned and dejected in our hearts, homes, and communities. So, how can we reverse this malady of meanness and make kindness and compassion an imperative?
The Kindness Cure draws on the latest social and scientific research to reveal how the seemingly “soft skills” of kindness, cooperation, and generosity are fundamental to our survival as a species. In fact, it’s our prosocial abilities that put us at the head of the line. Blended with moving case studies and clinical anecdotes, Cousineau offers practical ways to rekindle kindness from the inside out.

OUR HOUSE reaches individuals, families, organizations, and communities in need when someone dies, guiding people through the delicate process of grief. Serving thousands of children, teens, and adults every year, OUR HOUSE relies on trained volunteers and expert guidance as one of the most unique support centers in the country, subject of an Emmy-winning film, and recipients of a 4-star rating with Charity Navigator.
A number of events are lined up for 2018 to mark OUR HOUSE’s auspicious milestone: the RUN FOR HOPE 5K walk/run will welcome hundreds of participants to walk in honor of remembering their loved ones, and is scheduled for April 29. Later in the fall, the annual House of Hope Gala (October 6) and Night for Hope will continue to foster awareness and community building.
But perhaps most notable is the program Camp Erin, run twice every summer, which gives grieving children ages 6-17 the opportunity to bond with others in a safe, playful setting. Camp Erin was the subject of “One Last Hug: Three Days at Grief Camp,” the HBO documentary that was awarded the Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Program in 2014.
In addition to Camp Erin and the annual events, OUR HOUSE offers three core programs year-round: grief support groups for adults, children, and teens, run by trained volunteers, are available at support centers across the southland; OUR HOUSE also offers educational seminars, intensives, and programs for medical and social work professionals; and on-site grief response brings OUR HOUSE’s experts to community locations where grief might extend to coworkers, neighbors, or others impacted by death.

Cancer Crossings
A Brother, His Doctors, and the Quest for a Cure to Childhood Leukemia
When Eric Wendel was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 1966, the survival rate was 10 percent. Today, it is 90 percent. Even as politicians call for a "Cancer Moonshot," this accomplishment remains a pinnacle in cancer research.
The author’s daughter, then a medical student at Georgetown Medical School, told her father about this amazing success story. Tim Wendel soon discovered that many of the doctors at the forefront of this effort cared for his brother at Roswell Park in Buffalo, New York. Wendel went in search of this extraordinary group, interviewing Lucius Sinks, James Holland, Donald Pinkel, and others in the field. If there were a Mount Rushmore for cancer research, they would be on it.
Despite being ostracized by their medical peers, these doctors developed modern-day chemotherapy practices and invented the blood centrifuge machine, helping thousands of children live longer lives. Part family memoir and part medical narrative, Cancer Crossings explores how the Wendel family found the courage to move ahead with their lives. They learned to sail on Lake Ontario, cruising across miles of open water together, even as the campaign against cancer changed their lives forever.

DR. DARIN INGELS
Author of
THE LYME SOLUTION:
A 5-Part Plan to Fight the Inflammatory
Auto-Immune Response and Beat Lyme DiseaseAccording to the CDC, over 300,000 cases of Lyme are reported every year in the United States, and it is one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the U.S. and Western Europe. Millions suffer from Lyme worldwide, and countless more have Lyme but don’t know it. THE LYME SOLUTION by Dr. Darin Ingels offers a thorough, holistic approach to treating this rampant disease. Unlike any other book on the market, Dr. Ingels not only focuses on the Lyme infection, he explores the chronic, inflammatory autoimmune response that Lyme triggers. As a result, the body is on high alert for too long. His plan bolsters patients’ faltering immune systems and assists them in recuperating from poor health.
THE LYME SOLUTION is a straightforward guide to how people with Lyme disease can advocate for their own health and use innovative treatments to maintain wellness. This book can help doctors and patients use the least invasive ways to facilitate treatment. By following his plan, patients can become even stronger than they were before the Lyme and better equipped to manage recurring symptoms.
In an interview, Dr. Ingels will discuss:
· Why Lyme is an autoimmune disease as much as an infection
· Why Lyme testing is so problematic
· Why long-term antibiotics often fail
· How Lyme mimics other illnesses and what to look out for
· The natural ways to treat Lyme
· The best diet for those suffering from Lyme
· The most effective exercise regime for those who have Lyme
· Kinds of herbs—not antibiotics—that help treat Lyme
· How to overcome chronic, debilitating symptoms of Lyme
· How to get better sleep when you have Lyme
· How parents can limit children’s risk of acquiring Lyme
· Ways parents can help children who have Lyme
Lyme Disease by the Numbers:
· 300,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease in the U.S. each year, but only 10% of those cases are reported to the CDC
· 3x increase in reported cases of Lyme disease since the 90s
· 823,000 Google searches per month for Lyme disease. Interest in the topic, particularly in the summer months, has steadily increased over time.
· 95% of reported cases of Lyme disease in 2015 came from the following states:
o Connecticut
o Delaware
o Maine
o Maryland
o Massachusetts
o Minnesota
o New Hampshire
o New Jersey
o New York
o Pennsylvania
o Rhode Island

ABOUT ARNIE BENN
Although the specific details of my life may appear different from your own at the superficial level, beneath the surface I am just like you. I hope for meaning, health, and long life in safety and with enough resources for me and mine to endure in relative comfort.
I was raised in South Africa. Our family moved to the United States in 1990 to pursue the promise of America and the opportunity she embodies. I have degrees in chemistry and music, and a deep interest in and love for both the sciences and the arts. I believe no accurate understanding of the world can be attained without looking into many different areas of study, since the world contains them all, intermingled, interwoven, sometimes indistinguishable. I place my trust in logic and the scientific method because people, myself included, tend to stray from objectivity without too much provocation.
Politically, I aspire to be a passionate Centrist, though I sometimes fail — on some issues to the Left and on other issues to the Right. I have worked in the technology, internet, entertainment, and education sectors. My professional experience includes producing and directing film and television content, online branding and marketing, consulting for a 2008 U.S. Presidential campaign, and serial internet entrepreneurship. Nevertheless, I derive the greatest degree of satisfaction from my most organic callings — music, teaching (science) and writing.
While I may not claim expertise in any one area, I am just as astute a scholar of the human condition as anyone, since the only way we can know anyone else is by comparing what we see around us to how we know ourselves. And the one inescapable truth I see is that we humans are all the same... in the things that motivate our thoughts and actions, and in how they typically manifest in us and in our relationships.
EVOLUTIONOLOGY :
The Power Of Knowing How People Work
Your Life, Instinct & Emotional Intelligence (A Practical Guide)
ISBN-13: 978-1522815075
What is Evolutionology?
Evolutionology describes how our survival instinct actually works, how it makes us think and behave, and how to regain control.
The Problem:
We like to believe that we are already evolved. We think we are civilized creatures because we are intelligent, but we are clearly not living intelligently. Our lives and world are filled with stress, anxiety and dysfunction. The reason is quite simple... even though it seems to manifest in many complex ways. Our choices are not made by our intelligence, but rather by our survival instinct. Our fears and emotions are behind our decisions, and every action we take is designed to make us feel safer. We do what is comforting, not what is right or intelligent.
Seeing this is a necessary first step in order to increase our emotional intelligence and to evolve consciously. Until we do, our inner animal will continue holding the reins and controlling our thoughts and actions, and we will continue congratulating ourselves on our superiority and correctness, even as our lives and world simmer in quiet desperation around us. Our lives should be our own to live, but most of us are reacting, not choosing — thinking instinctively and declaring it smart.
On A Practical Level:
FEATURING the unique "Evolutionology Quiz"
This book will allow you to actually measure your degree of evolution by taking the multiple choice "Evolutionology Quiz." It will give you an indication of how civilized your choices are, and the results will also suggest in which directions you might focus your attention in order to evolve consciously, and therefore more quickly.
Our lives deserve to manifest what we choose — what we want — rather than the default, instinctive reactions that fill us with doubt and drain our energy and self-esteem. Evolutionology points the way.
