Includes Author Dedication; Introduction; Acknowledgments and Notes. "From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a probing look at the struggles of America's white working class through the author's own story of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town. Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of poor, white Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for over forty years, has been reported with growing frequencey and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. In Hillbilly Elegy, J.D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hanging around your neck. The Vance family story began with hope in postwar America. J.D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love" and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation of the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Growing older brings with it a quiet, often unspoken worry: the fear of losing the physical independence you've spent a lifetime taking for granted.A missed step on the stairs. A moment of unsteadiness getting out of the car. A friend's fall that ended in a hospital stay. These moments accumulate, and with them comes a creeping hesitancy that can shrink your world long before your body actually requires it to.Tai Chi for Seniors offers a different path forward - one built not on fear, but on steady, achievable practice. Tai chi is one of the safest, most accessible, and most thoroughly studied paths toward better balance, greater strength, eased joint discomfort, and a calmer mind, supported by decades of research across thousands of older adults.Inside, you'll discover: - What tai chi is, where it comes from, and why its slow, flowing movements place almost no compressive force on the knees or hips- Why tai chi suits an aging body specifically - retraining balance, rebuilding proprioception, and remaining forgiving of interruption in a way most exercise programs are not- The physical benefits explained clearly: practitioners reduce fall risk by close to 40 percent compared to non-practitioners of the same age- The mental and emotional benefits - reduced anxiety, improved mood, and a genuine cognitive boost from learning and recalling movement sequences- A complete safety framework: talking to your doctor first, assessing your current balance and mobility, and setting up a safe practice space- Foundational stance, diaphragmatic breathing, and posture work that every later form builds directly from- Full standing forms, seated chair-based alternatives for days when standing isn't comfortable, and dedicated balance and fall-prevention sequences- Gentle strength work and breathing-focused qigong exercises, plus guidance for adapting every form if you're managing arthritis, a balance disorder, joint replacement recovery, or a cardiovascular condition- How to structure a sustainable weekly routine, track meaningful progress, and stay motivated over months rather than weeksThis book is for you if: - You're picking this up after a fall that shook your confidence, or following a doctor's recommendation after a diagnosis- You want to move through the coming years with more strength and steadiness than the last few- You have no prior tai chi, exercise, or athletic experience and want a genuine beginner's starting point- You need both standing and seated options, since not every day allows for the same level of activity- You're ready for patient, consistent practice instead of another program that demands intensity you can't sustainThis book is educational and is not a substitute for medical care. Always consult your physician before beginning this or any new exercise program, especially if you have heart disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, joint problems, or a history of falls.Turn the page, find your footing, and begin.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - You don't need to move fast to get stronger.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Somewhere between the invention of the modern gym and the rise of the fitness industry, a strange idea took hold: that meaningful physical transformation requires machines, weight plates, and a monthly membership fee. It's profitable. It's also, for most people starting out, simply untrue.Long before barbells existed, humans built extraordinary strength and control using nothing but their own bodyweight and gravity. Gymnasts, martial artists, and soldiers across centuries developed some of the most impressive physical capabilities ever recorded without ever touching a dumbbell. Science of Calisthenics teaches exactly that tradition - not as a random list of exercises, but as a genuine understanding of why your body responds to training the way it does.Inside, you'll discover: A complete Five-Screen Self-Assessment to find your honest starting point across push, pull, squat, core, and mobility - no guessing, no ego, just real numbersThe actual biomechanics behind every movement: how leverage changes difficulty, how muscles adapt to bodyweight load, and why connective tissue adapts on a completely different timeline than muscleThe Five Variables of Progressive Overload - leverage, range of motion, repetitions, tempo, and stability demand - so you can keep progressing indefinitely without ever adding external weightStructured, step-by-step progressions for push strength, pull strength, lower-body power, and core stability, each starting from a genuinely beginner-friendly entry pointA full chapter dedicated to mobility and joint health, because a strong body that can't move through a full range of motion is a body waiting to get injuredHow to structure your weekly training so you're actually improving, not just accumulating fatigueNutrition, recovery, and sleep guidance built to support real physical adaptation, not another generic diet planHow to track meaningful progress and begin exploring advanced skills - handstands, levers, and beyond - once your foundation is genuinely solidThis book is for you if: You've tried fitness programs before and stopped - not from lack of discipline, but because the program itself never fit where your body actually wasYou want to understand the "why" behind your training, not just follow a list of exercisesYou don't have access to a gym, or simply prefer training with just a floor, a wall, and a doorframeYou're a true beginner who's never done a push-up, or someone returning to movement after years awayYou want a program built on real physiology - leverage, mechanical tension, connective tissue adaptation - not fitness-industry guessworkThis book is educational and is not a substitute for medical care.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. If you picked up this book, there's a good chance you already know what it feels like when your body decides, without asking you first, that you're in danger.Maybe it happens in a crowded grocery store. Maybe it's the moment you wake up, before your feet even touch the floor. Your heart slams against your ribs. Your throat tightens. And underneath the fear, a small, exhausted voice asks the same question it always asks: why does this keep happening, and why can't I just make it stop?This book will not tell you that panic is "all in your head" in the dismissive way that phrase gets used. Panic is a full-body event - your heart, your lungs, your gut, your muscles, and a nerve pathway most people have never heard of, running from the base of your skull down into your abdomen. That pathway is the vagus nerve, and understanding it may be one of the most useful things you ever do for your mental health.Inside, you'll discover: What panic actually is and how it differs from ordinary worry - explained in plain, non-clinical languageThe science behind your nervous system's two settings: the sympathetic "accelerator" and the parasympathetic "brake," and why that brake sometimes stops responding the way it shouldWhat vagal tone is, why it matters, and how it connects your brain, heart, and gutA full toolkit of physical techniques across breathing, cold exposure, vocal and auditory practices, gentle movement, and self-massage - each grounded in psychophysiology and polyvagal research, not guessworkSpecific, learnable tools including diaphragmatic breathing, box breathing for acute panic, cold water face immersion, humming and vocal techniques, and vagal point massageA structured Four-Week Practice Plan that builds your toolkit gradually, week by weekNutrition, sleep, and lifestyle guidance that supports nervous system regulation alongside the physical techniquesHonest guidance on tracking real progress, handling setbacks, and recognizing when additional professional support is the right next stepThis book is for you if: You've experienced panic attacks or persistent anxiety and want physical, learnable tools to work alongside anything else you're already doingYou've been told to simply "calm down" and found that advice as unhelpful as everyone with panic disorder eventually doesYou want to understand the real physiology behind panic, not just cope with it blindlyYou're looking for techniques you can use anywhere - including quietly, in public, without anyone noticingYou're ready for patient, consistent practice, understanding that vagal tone builds the same way physical strength does: gradually, through repetitionThis book is educational and is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The techniques described are not a cure for panic disorder or any other mental health condition, and individual results will vary. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before beginning any new self-regulation practice, particularly if you have a cardiac condition, seizure disorder, history of fainting, are pregnant, or are currently taking medication for anxiety or panic disorder. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency or thoughts of harming yourself, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis helpline immediately.You are not broken.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Movement is one of the first things we lose when illness, surgery, or age catches up with the body - and one of the hardest things to trust ourselves to reclaim.For decades, the standard advice for anyone with limited mobility was simply to rest and let strength return on its own. We now know that advice was not just unhelpful, but often actively harmful - muscle mass can decline by as much as one to five percent per day of complete bed rest, particularly in older adults. The encouraging truth is the opposite of "just wait" appropriate, gentle movement, even performed entirely lying down, meaningfully slows this decline, and in many cases actively reverses it.Bed Exercises for Seniors with Limited Mobility was built on exactly that shift in understanding. Every one of the seventy exercises inside can be performed without leaving the bed, without specialized equipment beyond a pillow or soft ball, and without the kind of exertion that would be unsafe for someone recovering from surgery, illness, or the accumulated effects of age.Inside, you'll discover: A simple Mobility Checklist to establish your honest starting point - no comparison to anyone else's timeline, just your own clear baselineRealistic expectations for recovery: what genuine progress actually looks like week by week, and why consistency matters more than intensity70 illustrated exercises organized across ten focused body regions - ankles and feet, knees and lower legs, hips, core, lower back, shoulders, arms, wrists and hands, neck, and seated transitionsThe exact format behind every exercise: purpose, starting position, numbered steps, a modification, and a clear callout for tips, cautions, or progress checksSpecific guidance for caregivers, family members, and home health aides - including how to assist safely and when supervision matters mostCirculation-focused movements that help reduce the risk of blood clots and skin breakdown during extended time in bedA clear, ongoing distinction between normal discomfort and warning signs that mean stop immediatelyWeekly training plans that rotate through the full exercise library, plus nutrition and recovery guidance to support the physical workThis book is for you if: Standing up has become difficult after a recent hospital stay, surgery, or period of illnessYou're caring for someone whose world has temporarily shrunk to the size of a bed, and you want a real, structured way to helpYou want a program that meets you exactly where you are, rather than assuming a body that can easily get up, kneel, or standYou're looking for a genuine complement to physical therapy, not a replacement for itYou understand that real recovery happens gradually, in small increments, and you're ready to start exactly where you areThis book is educational and is not a substitute for medical care or physical therapy.

This is the physical residue of experiences your body hasn't yet finished processing - and that residue can be worked with, gently and safely, using your own body as the primary tool.Trauma Release Exercises for Beginners brings the body fully into a conversation that too often focuses only on talking, thinking, and analyzing.
