As a leading neuroscientist and women's brain health specialist, Dr. Mosconi unravels these mysteries by revealing how menopause doesn't just impact the ovaries--it's a hormonal show in which the brain takes center stage. The decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood to memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these challenges successfully, Dr. Mosconi brings us the latest approaches--explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies like designer estrogens, hormonal contraception, and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise, self-care, and self-talk. Best of all, Dr. Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end, demonstrating that it's actually a transition. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge with a renewed, enhanced brain--ushering in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2652155</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2652155</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mosconi, Lisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2652155164</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>New Science Empowers Women to Navigate the Pivotal Transition With Knowledge and Confidence</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798891641242/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[On Grief & Grieving]]></title><description><![CDATA["Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s On Death and Dying changed the way we talk about the end of life.

But there is always something that sends us back into the anxious spiral we’ve been trying to climb out of.<br>In <i>Beyond Anxiety</i>, Dr. Martha Beck explains why anxiety is skyrocketing around you, and likely within you. She also tells you how to not only reduce your anxiety but use it to propel you into a life filled with peace, meaning, and joy.<br>Using a combination of the latest neuroscience as well as her background in sociology and coaching, Beck explains how our brains tend to get stuck in an “anxiety spiral,” a feedback system that can increase anxiety indefinitely. To climb out, we must engage different parts of our nervous system—the parts involved in creativity. Beck provides instructions for engaging the “creativity spiral,” in a process that not only shuts down anxiety but leads to innovative problem solving, a sense of meaning and purpose, and joyful, intimate connection with others—and with the world.<br>The opposite of anxiety, it turns out, is a wonderful new way of life—one that can calm and inspire us as individuals and help us become a source of healing for everything around us.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C10681997</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C10681997</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Beck, Martha]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/10681997980</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life&apos;s Purpose</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593944080/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Unexpected Journey]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b>INSTANT <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER<br>"A game changer for caregivers of loved ones with dementia.... This book will help millions of families, like hers, like yours, like mine, like everyone’s. It’s a book for our time.” —Maria Shriver<br> <br>From Emma Heming Willis, wife of Bruce Willis, a deeply personal and richly compassionate supportive guide that helps caregivers care for themselves while they navigate a loved one's dementia.<br> <br> AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER</b><br>The day Emma Heming Willis’ husband, Bruce Willis, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), all they were given was a pamphlet and told to check back in a few months. With no hope or direction, Emma walked out of that doctor’s appointment frozen with fear, confusion and a sense that her world had just fallen apart.<br>In fact, it had. Bruce and Emma had their story written, their future mapped out. Yet all those dreams crumbled with that diagnosis, and Emma felt alone and more isolated than ever. How would she care for her husband while parenting their young daughters?<br>At that devastating time, Emma just wanted someone who'd been through it to tell her, “This feels terrible right now. Your life is in shambles. But it’s going to be okay. Here are some things to think about and put in place so you cannot just survive but thrive.”<br>With <i>The Unexpected Journey</i>, Emma has written the book she wishes she’d been handed on the day of Bruce’s diagnosis: a supportive guide to navigating the complicated, heartbreaking, and transformative experience that is caregiving for your loved one. Weaving her personal journey as a care partner with the latest research and insights from the world’s top dementia, caregiving, and integrative experts she offers the guidance and wisdom caregivers everywhere so desperately need to hear, including:<br><li>A diagnosis isn’t just a label, it’s a starting point. It helps you better understand your person’s behavior and respond with more clarity and compassion.</li><li>Taking care of yourself is not optional; it's mandatory. It will make you a better care partner. It’s not selfish, it’s self-preserving.</li><li>You don’t have a choice about being on the dementia caregiving journey. But you do have a choice in terms of how you approach it and reframe it.</li><li>Caregivers are human so you aren’t always going to be patient and selfless. You have challenges and struggle with conflicting emotions and that’s okay. </li><br>Ultimately, <i>The Unexpected Journey </i>shows you how to care for yourself while doing one of the hardest, most heartbreaking jobs in the world. Because if you don’t take care of yourself, you are not going to be able to look after anyone else—especially your loved one with dementia.<br>For anyone caregiving for a loved one with any form of dementia, and even for those caregiving for other conditions, <i>The Unexpected Journey</i> shows that you are not alone. As Emma writes, “I know that no two caregiving journeys are the same, but we are connected by the same unchosen thread. It’s not an easy path for you, your loved one or your family. But I’m here to let you know that you are not alone, and, in time, you will find your footing, and a way forward."]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11530933</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11530933</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Emma Heming Willis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11530933980</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217165155/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's Not You]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b>INSTANT <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER<br>From clinical psychologist and expert in narcissistic relationships Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a guide to protecting and healing yourself from the daily harms of narcissism<br>AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER</b><br>It’s not always easy to tell when you’re dealing with a narcissistic person. One day they draw you in with their charm and charisma, the next they gaslight you, wreck your self-esteem, and leave you wondering, <i>What should I have done differently?</i> As Dr. Ramani explains in <i>It’s Not You</i>, the answer is: absolutely nothing.<br>Just as a tiger can’t change its stripes, a narcissist will not stop manipulating and invalidating you, no matter how much you try to appease them. The first step toward healing from their toxic influence—and to protect yourself from future harm—is to accept that you are not to blame for their behavior.<br>Drawing on more than two decades of studying the landscape of narcissism and working with survivors, Dr. Ramani explores how narcissists hijack our well-being and offers a healing path forward. Unpacking the oft-misunderstood personality, she reveals the telltale behavioral patterns that indicate you may be dealing with a narcissist. Along the way, you’ll learn how to become gaslight resistant, chip away at the trauma bonds that keep you stuck in the cycle, grieve the loss of these painful relationships, create and maintain realistic boundaries, discern unhelpful behaviors from narcissistic behaviors, and recover your sense of self after constant invalidation.<br>Thriving after, or even during, a narcissistic relationship can be challenging, but <i>It’s Not You</i> shows you it is possible. Dr. Ramani invites you to stop blaming yourself and trying to change the narcissistic person, and to start giving yourself permission to let go of their hold on you and finally embrace your true self.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9893124</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9893124</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Durvasula, Ramani]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9893124980</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Identifying and Healing from Narcissistic People</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593789605/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Menopause Brain]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b>The <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The XX Brain</i> shows women how to navigate menopause successfully and come out the other side with an even better brain.</b><br>Menopause and perimenopause are still a black box to most doctors, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia to brain fog.

It was a betrayal of our Constitution, and one of the darkest days in recent history. Yet to former congressman Adam Kinzinger it was also the culmination of a cultural and political rupture he’d long seen coming. Constructive criticism from within the Republican Party was no longer enough. It was time to stand up, even if it meant betraying his own party.<br> In <i>Renegade</i>, Kinzinger tells his story of faith, service, and political duty in a democracy under siege. From the small Illinois county board where he got his start, to his years in the Air Force flying tanker missions over Iraq, to his final tumultuous term in Congress as one of the few Republican members to vote to impeach Trump and join the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, Kinzinger takes readers inside the most critical moments and pivotal decisions of the last years. The result is both a searing examination of the rise of extremism and the GOP’s subsequent descent into a dysfunctional and destructive force, and a rousing call to return to unity.<br> Raw, provocative, and clear-eyed, <i>Renegade</i> captures one of the most transformative periods in recent American history.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9688898</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9688898</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kinzinger, Adam, D'Antonio, Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9688898980</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Defending Democracy and Liberty in Our Divided Country</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593795170/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life Worth Living]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b>INSTANT <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER<br>"<i>Life Worth Living </i>is transcendent.

Across the globe, people sought to connect, whether in person from a socially distant six feet or via a screen from 100,000 miles away.

So he asked spiritual and religious leaders, artists, entertainers and others, to share messages of inspiration, transformation, and hope. Featuring interviews and texts from Oprah, DeVon Franklin, Eckhart Tolle, Shaka Senghor, Marianne Williamson, Simon Sinek, and David Whyte, among many others, The Call to Unite will offer readers a tangible book of wisdom to turn to in times of darkness. Here, readers will find calls to action, prayers, poems, spiritual teachings, and lessons to live by that will withstand the test of time.
