The Age of Scientific Wellness: Why the Future of Medicine Is Personalized, Predictive, Data-Rich, a

We are on the cusp of a major transformation in healthcare-yet few people know it. At top hospitals and a few innovative health-tech startups, scientists are working closely with patients to dramatically extend their 'healthspan'-the number of healthy years before disease sets in. In The Age of Scientific Wellness, two visionary leaders of this revolution in health take us on a thrilling journey to this new frontier of medicine. Today, most doctors wait for clinical symptoms to appear before they act, and the ten most commonly prescribed medications confer little or no benefit to most people taking them. Leroy Hood and Nathan Price argue that we must move beyond this reactive, hit-or-miss approach to usher in real precision health-a form of highly personalized care they call 'scientific wellness.' Using information gleaned from our blood and genes and tapping into the data revolution made possible by AI, doctors can catch the onset of disease years before symptoms arise. This is not a future fantasy: it is already happening, but only for a few patients and at high cost. It's time to make this gold standard of care more widely available. Inspiring in its possibilities, radical in its conclusions, The Age of Scientific Wellness shares actionable insights to help you chart a course to a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Prepared: A Manual for Surviving Worst-Case Scenarios

NATIONAL BESTSELLER A former Green Beret's indispensable course in preparedness, teaching the keys to building a resilient and fearless life Most people think that being prepared for catastrophe means stocking up on MREs and building a bunker in their backyard, but this approach leaves you vulnerable in the real world of car accidents, natural disasters, grid failures, and global pandemics. Prepared overturns today's paranoid survival wisdom and teaches the foundational skills of preparedness that will not only help you build situational awareness and achieve greater mobility but that will also help you build resilient mental habits. After 20 years in the US Army, Special Forces, and as a government contractor for the CIA, Mike Glover has trained thousands of men, women, and families in the art and science of survival. In this book, he shows you how to: • Harness your brain chemistry to eliminate the freeze response and increase your stress tolerance during a crisis • Fortify your home by learning how to use and store essential foods, water, supplies, first aid, and ammunition in your everyday life • Equip your vehicle with sufficient first aid, so you can respond to injuries even before an ambulance arrives-dramatically increasing your chance of survival in an accident Drawing on Glover's most dire experiences in combat and in the real world, this book shows you how almost no disaster is more powerful than someone who is truly prepared. For Glover, surviving catastrophe is not about fearing crisis, but creating more resilient habits so that you can be ready for whatever comes your way.

[Spanish] - Armas para la rabia: Por una literatura de combate

Imagino este ensayo como un combate. Quisiera escribir un ensayo-enojo, un ensayo-rabia. Que fuera recibido como una avalancha de golpes. Entre una frase y otra, habrá que visualizar energía desplegándose. Habrá que ver los músculos de mis muslos contrayéndose, mi centro de gravedad descendiendo y mis puños en posición de guardia. Habrá que entender por qué me esfuerzo por mantener mis hombros relajados y mis reflejos alertas, imaginar con precisión un codo que baja levemente, unas caderas que giran. Vean esa rotación, vean cómo esos huesos siguen el ímpetu del brazo y lo propulsan hacia su blanco. Entre cada palabra de cada una de las frases que componen este texto habrá que oír el ruido de un cuerpo pegándole a otro cuerpo. El martilleo de mi ira acaso no baste para que reviente la historia de mi familia. Entonces, será mejor guardar en la mente la imagen de unas vendas negras alrededor de mis articulaciones, que atenúan el filo, impiden que la piel se resquebraje, me protegen de una fractura en la muñeca. Que me permiten, sobre todo, embestir más fuerte.
