Story
Leading health blogger Jimmy Moore and researcher and internist Dr. Eric C. Westman join forces again to explain the powerful therapeutic effects of a ketogenic diet—one that combines a customized carbohydrate restriction, moderation of protein intake, and real food-based fats—which is emerging in the scientific literature as a means for improving a wide range of diseases, from Type 2 diabetes to Alzheimer's and more. Simply eating a low-carb diet alone isn't enough, and Moore and Westman tell you why. Have you looked at a low-carb diet simply as a means to lose weight? What if you learned that combining a low-carb nutritional approach with a high fat intake produces a powerful therapeutic effect on a wide variety of health conditions that most people think requires medication to control? That’s what Keto Clarity is all about. Jimmy Moore, a leading low-carb diet blogger and podcaster, has reunited with his Cholesterol Clarity co-author Dr. Eric C. Westman, a practicing internist and low-carb diet researcher, to bring you the crystal-clear information you need to understand what a ketogenic diet is and why it may be the missing element in your pursuit of optimal health. This book includes exclusive interviews from twenty of the world's foremost authorities from various fields bringing their depth of expertise and experience using this nutritional approach. Moore and Westman explain why ketosis is normal and how this nutritional approach is being used therapeutically by many medical professionals. You will find a step-by-step guide to help you produce more ketones and track your progress, real life success stories, and more. The solid evidence for nutritional ketosis in dealing with many of the chronic health problems of our day is presented, including but not limited to: epilepsy, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome.

Reviewed: 06-18-18
In the current nutritional/diet/lifestyle environment, I decided to take a gander at this book. I know many people who have ventured into "KETO" for weight loss; but I am not looking for a diet. Weight loss would be a bonus - I am just interested in finding assistance with my personal health issues. The content is pretty solid - but when it comes to medical jargon, it can be overwhelming. Who do you trust anymore? My doctor's give conflicting recommendations - what's a person supposed to do with that? But, I did find this book to be well read, the author did a great job at reading the book - and he has a very tolerable tone. I also liked that there were PDF's to view for reference.

Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

Meh, no homerun here for me

This was a very lackluster book for me. I do not know why I keep wasting my money on this genre of books. I just can't seem to find one or two that actually relates to me and one that isn't obnoxious.

I enjoyed this book; but for the author to say she "invented/created" the '5 Second Rule' is a bit of a stretch...
Otherwise, content was interesting and the author's voice wasn't as intolerable as others. Didn't find any 'Eureka moments' in this one either - a lot of the hum-drum of all the other books in this category.

Story
Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf--ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f--king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

Loved the accent, but...
Reviewed: 06-18-18
This was not a gem for me. I really wanted to enjoy it - I wanted to find a 'Eureka' moment. The accent was amazing, but otherwise it was not a winner for me. I get that it's a tough job to write and express your thoughts and emotions (I'm struggling not to sound like a jerk, but...), but I just couldn't get into the groove or what the author was trying to convey.

Story
For fans of Tina Fey and David Sedaris - Internet star Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, makes her literary debut. Jenny Lawson realized that the most mortifying moments of our lives - the ones we'd like to pretend never happened - are in fact the ones that define us. In Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson takes readers on a hilarious journey recalling her bizarre upbringing in rural Texas, her devastatingly awkward high school years, and her relationship with her long-suffering husband, Victor.

Not what I expected
Reviewed: 06-18-18
Kudos to the author for telling or not telling her story. I found it very difficult to listen to the childish tone of the author's voice; the stories are cute - and some even relatable - but I couldn't even finish the book due to her voice. It's grating; like nails on a chalkboard. Sorry; wasn't for me. I really wanted to like this book - and maybe if I read it it would be different - highly unlikely now that I have her voice in my head.
