Are you struggling with attention problems, mood swings, food obsession, or depression? Whatever the issue, you have far more control over your thoughts, feelings, and behavior than you realize. Although medications may bring some relief, in Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, Dr. Georgia Ede reveals that the most powerful way to change brain chemistry is with food, because that’s where brain chemicals come from in the first place.

She starts out with a deep dive into how neurons and related systems function. If this is too detailed for you, I still recommend listening to as much as you can, just to establish her credibility. She really knows what she's talking about. After that, feel free to skip around and look for the relevant parts for you. I did not, as I found every last word highly relevant and useful. Thank you Dr. Ede!

Story
In the early 18th century, the Pirate Republic was home to some of the great pirate captains, including Blackbeard, "Black Sam" Bellamy, and Charles Vane. Along with their fellow pirates - former sailors, indentured servants, and runaway slaves - this "Flying Gang" established a crude but distinctive democracy in the Bahamas, carving out their own zone of freedom in which servants were free, Blacks could be equal citizens, and leaders were chosen or deposed by a vote.

Fascinating true stories
Reviewed: 08-21-24
I had no idea that so many details had been documented about the age of piracy in the Caribbean, an era that had always fascinated me. I know many of the names, but a lot of these episodes and the intricate details recorded by, and about, not just the big names but many minor players, were interesting and new to me.

A fascinating account of Cohen's experience with Trump.
Reviewed: 06-05-24
Honestly, my biggest complaint is that he didn't read it himself, because he's a great speaker. That said, he's also a great storyteller and the narrator they hired is fine too. I'm not a big fan of him as a person or of the things he did in the past, but he's playing a vital role now in putting this out. Obviously, given his credibility issues, I take everything he says with a grain of salt, but when he's tying together public events with simple explanations from behind the scenes, it seems pretty believable. I recommend this book to anybody looking for a better understanding of how things may have played out in Trump's campaign and presidency.

Thrilling historic fiction
Reviewed: 05-01-24
Dan Davis is a master of his chosen genre, and the only reason I haven't already read all of his books is that I need to take time to digest them in between. They are exciting, impactful, and well-crafted. This book continues the epic story of Sir Richard the immortal knight, and weaves through historic events in the Mongol empire, including the horrific sack of Baghdad in 1258. I look forward to the next one, and to all the other great books Mr. Davis will hopefully write in the future.

Story
Modern nationalism in northeastern Europe has often led to violence and then reconciliation between nations with bloody pasts. In this fascinating book, Timothy Snyder traces the emergence of Polish, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, and Belarusian nationhood over four centuries, discusses various atrocities (including the first account of the massive Ukrainian-Polish ethnic cleansings of the 1940s), and examines Poland's recent successful negotiations with its newly independent Eastern neighbors, as it has channeled national interest toward peace.

Great historical context for current events
Reviewed: 04-22-24
Timothy Snyder is a great historian and storyteller. I discovered him over the last couple of years due to his commentary on Ukraine. I prefer to hear him reading his own books, but this narrator is excellent as well, and takes nothing away from the material. I would love to hear an update on these areas from him since time has passed and the West is taking new interest as their national projects continue.

For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going.

I have now made it through his complete catalog. I don't agree with him on everything, and there are even a few issues where I think he's demonstrably spreading bad info, but he knows a little bit about everything and enough about it all to offer useful insights. Ignore this man at your peril!

Story
With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy was thought to be absolute. Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. But we now know this to be premature. Authoritarianism first returned in Russia, as Putin developed a political system dedicated solely to the consolidation and exercise of power. In the last six years, it has creeped from east to west as nationalism inflames Europe, abetted by Russian propaganda and cyberwarfare.

Story
An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.
