The happiness curve [audio-enabled device] why life gets better after 50 / by Rauch, Jonathan,1960-author.; Fass, Robert,narrator.; Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268; Macmillan Audio (Firm)(CARDINAL)344799; Playaway Digital Audio.;
Read by Robert Fass."Why does happiness get harder in your forties? Why do you feel in a slump when you're successful? Where does this malaise come from? And, most important, will it ever end? Drawing on cutting-edge research, journalist Jonathan Rauch answers all these questions. He shows that happiness follows a U-shaped trajectory, a "happiness curve," declining from the optimism of youth into what's often a long, low slump in middle age, before starting to rise again in our fifties. This isn't a midlife crisis, though. Rauch reveals that this slump is instead a natural stage of life -- and an essential one. By shifting priorities away from competition and toward compassion, it equips you with new tools for wisdom and gratitude to win the third period of life. And Rauch can testify to this personally because it was his own slump, despite acclaim as a journalist and commentator, that compelled him to investigate the happiness curve. His own story and the stories of many others from all walks of life -- from a steelworker and a limo driver to a telecom executive and a philanthropist -- show how the ordeal of midlife malaise reboots our values and even our brains for a rebirth of gratitude."--

After years of watching patients cycle through her practice, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon noticed a pattern. While her patients struggled with a wide range of conditions, they all suffered from the same core problem: they had too little muscle rather than too much fat. When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. As the body's largest endocrine organ, muscle actually determines everything about the trajectory of health and aging. Many of the conditions Dr. Lyon's patients were experiencing were actually symptoms of underdeveloped or unhealthy muscle. Now, Dr. Lyon offers an easy-to-follow food, fitness, and self-care program anchored in evidence and pioneering research that teaches you how to optimize muscle--no matter your age or health background. Discover how to overcome everything from obesity to autoimmune disorders and avoid diseases like Alzheimer's, hypertension, and diabetes by following Dr. Lyon's powerful new approach to becoming forever strong."--

Game of edges : the analytics revolution and the future of professional sports / by Schoenfeld, Bruce,author.(CARDINAL)366828;
"The story of how a new generation of tech-savvy franchise owners is reshaping every aspect of professional sports. In the last two decades, innovation, data analysis, and technology have driven a tectonic shift in the sports business. Game of Edges is the story of how sports franchises evolved, on and off the field, from raggedly run small businesses into some of the most systematically productive companies around. In today's game, everyone from the owners to the marketing staff are using information-data-to give their team an edge. For analysts, an edge is their currency. Figuring out that bunting hurts your offense? That's an edge. So is discovering metrics that can predict the career arc of your free agent shooting guard. Or combing through a decade of ticket-buying data to target persuadable fans. These small, incremental steps move a sports franchise from merely ordinary to the leading edge. Franchises today are more than just sports; they integrate a whole suite of other businesses-television and digital content, gambling and real estate, fashion and apparel, entertainment, catering and concessions, and much more. But an optimized franchise has no room for error. Teams must do what the numbers say, reducing the element of chance, limiting those random moments of athletic heroism that make sports thrilling to watch. Optimization also means the franchise's main goal isn't championships anymore; it's keeping you, the viewer, engaged with the product. Drawing on extensive interviews with franchise owners, general managers, executives, and players, Bruce Schoenfeld introduces dynamic leaders who are radically reimagining the operations of these decades-old teams-and producing mind-boggling valuations. He joins the architects of the Golden State Warriorsdynasty for an exclusive reception before tip-off. He stands among the faithful at Anfield, watching Liverpool's analytics guru size up a prized midfielder. And he watches the president of the Chicago Cubs break ground on a new DraftKings gambling parlorat Wrigley Field, not ten miles from the site of the original Black Sox betting scandal. Essential reading for anyone interested in sports, business, or technology, Game of Edges explores a world where winning the game is only the beginning"--

Both of us [large print] : my life with Farrah / by O'Neal, Ryan.(CARDINAL)434708; Blanco, Jodee,1964-(CARDINAL)706314; Carroll, Kent.(CARDINAL)399645;
Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett's story begins with the youthful optimism of new love between two charismatic and beautiful stars. Soon, though, reality intrudes: troubled children from previous marriages; Farrah's first husband, Lee Majors, reluctant to leave; mismatched career trajectories; the birth of their son; and drug abuse -- all leading to an inevitable break-up. After a relationship with a younger woman, midlife fears of growing older, and his own leukemia diagnosis, Ryan realized that he had cast aside his true soul mate, and he and Farrah started a new life together. When Farrah was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, Ryan stood by her side through grueling treatment, and ultimately faced the heartbreaking discovery that even his love couldn't save Farrah. No other couple has drawn the same unwavering fascination of fans and tabloid journalists alike for over three decades -- and no one can tell their behind-the-headlines story like Ryan O'Neal. Written with candor, emotional honesty, and above all, deep love for his adored Farrah, Both of Us is the heartbreaking story of a true Hollywood fairy tale, providing the adrenaline of a great romance novel -- and the heartache and inspiration of a true confession.
