Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The heart-wrenching, uplifting tale about a woman named Cupcake “[Cupcake] Brown’s confessional . . . memoir is one you can’t easily put down. Her life is nothing short of a miracle.”—Chicago Sun-Times There are shelves of memoirs about overcoming the death of a parent, childhood abuse, rape, drug addiction, miscarriage, alcoholism, hustling, gangbanging, near-death injuries, drug dealing, prostitution, and homelessness. Cupcake Brown survived all these things before she’d even turned twenty. And that’s when things got interesting. . . Orphaned by the death of her mother and left in the hands of a sadistic foster parent, young Cupcake Brown learned to survive by turning tricks, downing hard liquor, and ingesting every drug she could find while hitchhiking up and down the California coast. She stumbled into gangbanging, drug dealing, hustling, prostitution, theft, and, eventually, the best scam of all: a series of 9-to-5 jobs. A Piece of Cake is unlike any memoir you’ll ever read. Moving in its frankness, this is the most satisfying, startlingly funny, and genuinely affecting tour through hell you’ll ever take. Praise for A Piece of Cake “[Brown] reflects now with insight and honesty on her experiences. . . . An engaging account . . . of a remarkable life filled with pain and wisdom, hope and redemption.”—San Fracisco Chronicle “Dazzles you with the amazing change that is possible in one lifetime.”—Washington Post

“Tips, tactics, and game-changing approaches to anti-inflammatory eating that won’t leave you feeling deprived” (Vani Hari, the “Food Babe” and New York Times bestselling author). The restrictions of an anti-inflammatory diet can make eating healthy feel like deprivation. Peace of Cake offers an easy, long-term solution that doesn’t ignore the taste buds.

On this plan, the remainder of the top inflammatory foods fall by the wayside, and a healthy lifestyle falls into place. Peace of Cake reveals how to reverse chronic health issues, including joint pain, loss of energy, poor sleep, inability to lose weight, digestive disorders, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, brain fog, allergies, skin conditions, and more. Jenny Carr offers support and tips for stopping cravings in their tracks and learning how to master over forty anti-inflammatory food swap recipes that are free of processed sugar, wheat, cow dairy products, inflammatory oils, alcohol, and GMOs. The result is health-based fat loss without the need for calorie counting. “Jenny Carr’ new masterpiece, Peace of Cake, is a FABULOUS resource that I will be sharing with all of my patients. How to swap out inflammatory ingredients that create disease with anti-inflammatory ingredients that create health and vibrancy?!

The Wheel of Ideals
Author: David Bishop

ISBN: 184728535X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
The Wheel of Ideals shows three families of ideals, the heroic, civic and altruistic, that sometimes work together and sometimes conflict. Every ideal has its true believers, and unbelievers: some people believe in it strongly, others less strongly, and others not at all--or so they claim. As ideals divide, people also divide. We can't all get along, perfectly, all the time, even with ourselves. Why not? Do we need conflict to make progress? Is perfect peace too peaceful? As ideals can be ignored or betrayed, they can also be carried too far, into decadence: dionysian overheating and the apollonian deep freeze. If you carried an ideal too far, how would you come to realize your mistake? How would you feel the gravity, the balancing pull, of the ideal calling you home? Without failure, without going too far, what is lost? What is the good of all these ideals, and these forms of decadence? The Wheel of Ideals suggests that we will go on asking these questions.
