In this collection of interviews, Derrick Jensen discusses the destructive dominant culture with ten people who have devoted their lives to undermining it. Whether it is Carolyn Raffensperger and her radical approach to public health, or Thomas Berry on perceiving the sacred; be it Kathleen Dean Moore reminding us that our bodies are made of mountains, rivers, and sunlight; or Vine Deloria asserting that our dreams tell us more about the world than science ever can, the activists and philosophers interviewed in How Shall I Live My Life? each bravely present a few of the endless forms that resistance can and must take.

Part memoir, nutritional primer, and political manifesto, this controversial examination exposes the destructive history of agriculture—causing the devastation of prairies and forests, driving countless species extinct, altering the climate, and destroying the topsoil—and asserts that, in order to save the planet, food must come from within living communities. In order for this to happen, the argument champions eating locally and sustainably and encourages those with the resources to grow their own food. Further examining the question of what to eat from the perspective of both human and environmental health, the account goes beyond health choices and discusses potential moral issues from eating—or not eating—animals. Through the deeply personal narrative of someone who practiced veganism for 20 years, this unique exploration also discusses alternatives to industrial farming, reveals the risks of a vegan diet, and explains why animals belong on ecologically sound farms.

We’ve been taught by the diet industry that the key to weight-loss success is eating less and exercising more. Both research and experience have proven this theory wrong. Yet we continue to count calories, eliminate carbs, track macronutrients, and cut out entire food groups because the only thing scarier than failing at another diet is trusting ourselves enough not to be on one at all.\nIt’s time to ditch the diet and learn how our bodies actually work. In Metabolism Makeover, registered dietitian nutritionist Megan Hansen strips away the complexity and confusion surrounding dieting and replaces them with a simple framework that will give you the tools to: 
Learn the science behind the six key pillars of the Metabolic Ecosystem―blood sugar control, muscle, movement, stress management, good sleep, and a healthy gut―and how to adjust each pillar to fit your lifestyle. Master the art of long-term weight loss by understanding how to get your subconscious mind on board with change instead of relying on willpower to follow through. Use the informed intuitive-eating approach to predict a craving before it starts, manage it once it hits, or prevent it from ever happening in the first place Apply the Next Best Choice framework so you can handle anything that pops up, including the Diet Danger Zones (such as vacations and holidays), without going into “f*ck it” mode. Your body knows how to lose weight and keep it off―you just haven’t been given the owner’s manual yet. Metabolism Makeover empowers you to regain control of your appetite, mindset, and life.

The Sweeney meets Life on Mars in 1970s Belfast - but for real.There are no official military records available on the British Army's Military Reaction Force (MRF) and yet it played a dramatic par tin the evolution of the Irish Troubles in the 1970s.  SAS Warlord - Shoot to Kill, covers SAS soldier Jack Gillespie's time in Belfast with the MRF, which was tasked with seeking out and shooting IRA gunmen.  Gillespie, a unit commander, posed as a press photographer deep in "enemy territory".  Some days however the camera was left at home and the Thomson machine gun was brought instead.  Among Gillespie's targets in 1973 was Gerry Adams.SAS Warlord conveys the frantic tension in Belfast.  Readers will scarcely believe the account as it contradicts the propaganda they were fed about the British Army in Northern Ireland for a generation.  And for them to hear it from the inside makes it all the more remarkable.Jack Gillespie was the youngest ever recruit to the SAS and was associated with the Regiment for more than 30 years, serving all over the world, from the Jungles of Malaysia, to the deserts of Aden, to the mean streets of Belfast.  Due to his fearless reputation he became known as the "hardest man in the regiment".

Review\n“Karena’s revealing memoir demonstrates how one can truly create a new journey with a renewed sense of identity, hope, and optimism.” – DEEPAK CHOPRA\n“Karena’s new book is about transformation. As she struggles to cope with her mother’s mental illness, Karena learns it’s not about being perfect, but about striving each day to learn, accept, and forgive. It’s about using tools like physical movement and meditation that will improve the quality of your life. That is transformation.”—JILLIAN MICHAELS, #1 New York Times bestselling author\n“In honest and beautiful prose, Karena writes about confronting her struggles with bravery and courage, removing the stigma of mental illness and paving the way for others seeking empathy and acceptance.”—JEWEL, musician, songwriter, and New York Times bestselling author of Never Broken 
“Your book [will] reach the hearts and souls of everyone . . .[and] inspire.”—DARLENE CORDERO, director of talent outreach at Chopra Global\nQuiet your mind, and the silence will help you hear your inner voice—the one that says, “Stay strong enough to forgive, to heal, and to have hope.” 
In her stirring, vulnerable new memoir, Karena Dawn reveals what it was like to grow up with a mother suffering from severe mental health issues, and how, during her teenage years, she desperately tried to escape her own inner demons. Addicted to pain-numbing drugs and crippled by severe depression, Karena learned how to use grief as a teacher, releasing herself from guilt and shame and finding the inner strength to go from abandonment to forgiveness, from hopelessness to healing. 
Karena’s bold and brave memoir shows us how staying silent about mental illness only reinforces the stigma. At the heart of her story is the eternal struggle we all share—how to move past the pain and suffering of our personal battles to experience life’s joys. Through the healing power of nature, meditation, and fitness, Karena was able to forge a path to self-discovery and find peace. 
Ultimately, The Big Silence reveals how a journey of self-love can lead to a renewed sense of identity and a life filled with hope and optimism.
