THE ROUGH PATCH: Marriage and the Art of Living Together by couples therapist and psychologist Daphne de Marneffe, Ph.D. The book explores why marriages today are harder than ever before, but how and why couples can and do prevail through the rough patches. Today couples are trying to make their marriages work better and longer than ever before--for many divorce is only a last resort. And yet, the stresses conspiring against today’s marriages can be overwhelming-- we are living longer, our parents are living longer, and the financial and work/life pressures that couples are trying to bear are more challenging than ever. With The Rough Patch leading clinical psychologist Daphne de Marneffe, PhD, can talk about the challenges confronting today’s couples, and with optimism - how they can and do persevere through them.

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.

4/3/18 - A comprehensive, natural approach to treating acute and chronic Lyme disease, from a leading naturopathic physician who has managed his sympt...

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
o Vermont
o Virginia
o Washington

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.

3/19/18 - 9:30am PST, author John Nuckel, joins Janeane to talk about his new book, Drive - a cross between a thriller, historical fiction, and white ...

John will talk about his days in Wall Street (he always says he heard enough stories there to fill dozens of books), or his experience working his way up from welfare, or the research he did for Drive (it was a lot!). Plus he used to host his own radio program, so he’s a natural on air.
In this crime thriller, history and current events unite through a New York secret society, established in the late 1800s by the country’s elite. The purpose of The Volunteers is to intercede when typical rules of justice cannot. NYPD officer Annie Falcone becomes the latest key component in the ongoing work of The Volunteers.
Et Omnia Recta—to make things right.
In the late 1800s, a secret society is formed by a captain from Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders with the support of the nation’s leading industrialists and bankers. Over a century later, the tradition continues, in the same saloons and boardrooms of New York City, where it all began.
In this crime thriller, where history and current events unite, Woodbury Kane, Jacob Riis, and Roosevelt himself fight the tyranny of Tammany Hall in the first mission of the Volunteers during the turn of the last century.
In today’s New York, the descendants of the Volunteers recruit Annie Falcone, a New York police officer, who takes the oath: Et Omnia Recta. She is to provide protection to one man, America’s top technological mind, from his longtime adversary, Sheng, China’s most brutal hacker.
Annie is unaware that she’s merely a decoy to draw Sheng out for the hit squad that was sent ahead of her. Her instincts alone will be the force behind the success or failure of the mission.
Like so many other Volunteers before her, Annie’s survival depends upon her courage, her skill, and her DRIVE.

3/19/18 @ 9:00am PST, Veera Hiranandani joins Janeane on KUCI 88.9fm to talk about her deeply personal and emotionally resonant new novel, THE NIGHT D...

Inspired by Hiranandani’s own father and his family’s journey, THE NIGHT DIARY tells the story of India’s partition, a division that spawned vicious xenophobia and caused the upheaval of more than 14 million lives overnight in what is known to be the single largest human migration in history.
THE NIGHT DIARY is told through letters written by 12-year-old Nisha, half-Muslim, half-Hindu. It's 1947, and India, newly independent of British rule, has been separated into two countries: Pakistan and India. The divide has created much tension between Hindus and Muslims, and hundreds of thousands are killed crossing borders. Nisha doesn't know where she belongs, or what her country is anymore. When Papa decides it's too dangerous to stay in what is now Pakistan, Nisha and her family become refugees and by train and by foot to reach their new home. The journey is long, difficult, and dangerous, and after losing her mother as a baby, Nisha can't imagine losing her homeland, too. But even if her country has been ripped apart, Nisha still believes in the possibility of putting herself back together.
This all-too-recent history is more important than ever as the daily news headlines are filled with heart-wrenching stories of the refugee crisis, devastating reports of acts of xenophobia, and a lack of empathy towards fellow humans. With THE NIGHT DIARY, Hiranandani has created a stunning new classic for middle grade readers and a reminder that hope will always lie in the struggle for unity, even in the darkest of hours.
Veera Hiranandani earned her MFA in creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College. She is the author of The Whole Story of Half a Girl, which was named a Sydney Taylor Notable Book and a South Asian Book Award Finalist. A former book editor, she now teaches creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College's Writing Institute and Writopia Lab.
