Alex Epstein, "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels"

ISBN: 1591847443 | 2014 | EPUB | 256 pages | 3 MB

Could everything we know about fossil fuels be wrong?

For decades, environmentalists have told us that using fossil fuels is a self-destructive addiction that will destroy our planet. Yet at the same time, by every measure of human well-being, from life expectancy to clean water to climate safety, life has been getting better and better.

How can this be?

The explanation, energy expert Alex Epstein argues in The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, is that we usually hear only one side of the story. We’re taught to think only of the negatives of fossil fuels, their risks and side effects, but not their positives—their unique ability to provide cheap, reliable energy for a world of seven billion people. And the moral significance of cheap, reliable energy, Epstein argues, is woefully underrated. Energy is our ability to improve every single aspect of life, whether economic or environmental.

If we look at the big picture of fossil fuels compared with the alternatives, the overall impact of using fossil fuels is to make the world a far better place. We are morally obligated to use more fossil fuels for the sake of our economy and our environment.

Drawing on original insights and cutting-edge research, Epstein argues that most of what we hear about fossil fuels is a myth. For instance . . .

Myth: Fossil fuels are dirty.

Truth: The environmental benefits of using fossil fuels far outweigh the risks. Fossil fuels don’t take a naturally clean environment and make it dirty; they take a naturally dirty environment and make it clean. They don’t take a naturally safe climate and make it dangerous; they take a naturally dangerous climate and make it ever safer.

Myth: Fossil fuels are unsustainable, so we should strive to use “renewable” solar and wind.

Truth: The sun and wind are intermittent, unreliable fuels that always need backup from a reliable source of energy—usually fossil fuels. There are huge amounts of fossil fuels left, and we have plenty of time to find something cheaper.

Myth: Fossil fuels are hurting the developing world.

Truth: Fossil fuels are the key to improving the quality of life for billions of people in the developing world. If we withhold them, access to clean water plummets, critical medical machines like incubators become impossible to operate, and life expectancy drops significantly. Calls to “get off fossil fuels” are calls to degrade the lives of innocent people who merely want the same opportunities we enjoy in the West.

Taking everything into account, including the facts about climate change, Epstein argues that “fossil fuels are easy to misunderstand and demonize, but they are absolutely good to use. And they absolutely need to be championed. . . . Mankind’s use of fossil fuels is supremely virtuous—because human life is the standard of value and because using fossil fuels transforms our environment to make it wonderful for human life.”

Mr. Kevin Bruce White, "School Yourself Into Shape: A Fascinating Guide into Quickly Improving Your Health, Physique and Way of Life" 

English | ISBN: 0692359605 | 2014 | EPUB, MOBI | 258 pages | 2 MB

School Yourself into Shape is a fascinating guide that will teach you how to quickly improve your health, physique, and way of life. In the title of the book, the word “S.C.H.O.O.L.” represents Structure, Consistency, Habits, Overcoming Obstacles, and Lifestyle. The author Kevin White created this acronym for readers to easily remember the key components needed to quickly get in shape, and preserving it. The book eliminates the over thinking involved in trying to get in shape, and replaces it with a simple formula for success. You will come to realize that there is a reason they’re called fad diets and workouts, and in most cases they produce temporary results, regardless of who has endorsed them. In addition, you’ll learn that it takes less than 2000 hours to get in shape and revitalize your spirit. That’s right 2000 hours! That equates to 83 days, or about twelve weeks to revive your body, mind, and way of life. Moreover, the book teaches you how easy it is to stay fit forever. So if you’re reading this, take a stroll over to the nearest mirror, look at yourself, and think of every possible reason why you want to improve your health, figure, and lifestyle. I don’t care if you think some of the reasons might be stupid, pointless, or even absurd, go write them down. If they came to mind while you were standing in front of that mirror, then to you, they must have some type of significance. Then write down all the things that you are accountable for in your life. Think hard, maybe it’s your spouse, children, job, or school. Once you’ve done that, find the consequences that you avoid by remaining accountable to these particulars. For example, not committing to your job could lead to unemployment, and not committing to your partner might lead to the single life. It’s these types of repercussions that raise awareness and accountability, and remind us that we might ultimately have to answer to our boss or partners. However, when it comes to being self-accountable for improving our fitness, so many of us fail because there is no one to answer to, except ourselves. Remember that you only have one body, and if you don’t take care of it, it will not take care of you. Also realize, if you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything. Make a pledge to yourself, make yourself accountable, buy and read every chapter of this book, and reap the benefits of a new you!

David Shields, Caleb Powell, "I Think You're Totally Wrong: A Quarrel" 

English | ISBN: 0385351941 | 2015 | EPUB | 272 pages | 2 MB

An impassioned, funny, probing, fiercely inconclusive, nearly-to-the-death debate about life and art—beers included.

Caleb Powell always wanted to become an artist, but he overcommitted to life (he’s a stay-at-home dad to three young girls), whereas his former professor David Shields always wanted to become a human being, but he overcommitted to art (he has five books coming out in the next year and a half). Shields and Powell spend four days together at a cabin in the Cascade Mountains, playing chess, shooting hoops, hiking to lakes and an abandoned mine; they rewatch My Dinner with André and The Trip, relax in a hot tub, and talk about everything they can think of in the name of exploring and debating their central question (life and/or art?): marriage, family, sports, sex, happiness, drugs, death, betrayal—and, of course, writers and writing.

The relationship—the balance of power—between Shields and Powell is in constant flux, as two egos try to undermine each other, two personalities overlap and collapse. This book seeks to deconstruct the Q&A format, which has roots as deep as Plato and Socrates and as wide as Laurel and Hardy, Beckett’s Didi and Gogo, and Car Talk’s Magliozzi brothers. I Think You’re Totally Wrong also seeks to confound, as much as possible, the divisions between “reality” and “fiction,” between “life” and “art.” There are no teachers or students here, no interviewers or interviewees, no masters in the universe—only a chasm of uncertainty, in a dialogue that remains dazzlingly provocative and entertaining from start to finish.

Things aren’t looking so good for Bernadette Murphy.

With the breakup of her marriage, the sudden death of her father, and the announcement of her best friend’s pregnancy, Bernadette finds herself careening toward rock bottom. So why stop short? She quits her job, gets herself banned—for life—from the mall, and goes on a late-night-infomercial spending spree. To top it all off, her dog gets kicked out of obedience school—again.

Just when she thinks there’s nothing left for the universe to throw at her, she discovers the one thing she needs the most: a reminder of her father’s love. In the book of cryptograms he left behind, Bernie’s father helps guide her through the pain that’s consuming her. With each solved puzzle, her father’s encoded lessons give Bernie the courage to face life head-on. And as her father always said, “In life, you either choose to sing a rainbow, or you don’t.”

Apply practical strategies from the latest expert research to change the way you think and react to feelings of anger.

Do you (or does someone you know) have a problem with anger? Perhaps you've been told you do, but you're skeptical. Anger can be a healthy emotion, but when we direct it outwards towards others, or fail to use it constructively, we cause lasting damage to ourselves and loved ones.

John David Mann, George J. Pratt, Peter T. Lambrou, "Code to Joy: The Four-Step Solution to Unlocking Your Natural State of Happiness"

ISBN: 0062063154, 0062059416 | 2012 | EPUB | 218 pages | 488 KB

We are meant to be happy. Instinctively, we all know this, somewhere deep inside. We all know what it's like to feel a burst of delight. Every one of us has at some point in our lives experienced a sense of ecstatic joy, of euphoria at the sheer sensation of being alive.

Have you ever wondered why that experience has to be so rare and fleeting?

The answer is, It doesn't.

--from Code to Joy

All the positive thinking, affirmations, talk therapy, and pharmaceuticals in the world will never be enough to make us as happy as we were designed to be, according to acclaimed clinical psychologists George Pratt, Ph.D., and Peter Lambrou, Ph.D. That's because those approaches fail to address a third aspect of the human organism, one that bridges the gap between mind and body: the biofield.

Combining six decades of clinical experience with cutting-edge research, Drs. Pratt and Lambrou have developed a revolutionary program for rediscovering (and then never again letting go of) your innate happiness in four simple, proven steps.

Pratt and Lambrou's program has already transformed the lives of more than 45,000 clients, including professional athletes, top executives, and celebrities. Code to Joy can transform yours, too, with all the science-based tools and guidance you need to complete the process of becoming a more focused, more powerful, and more deeply joyful you.
