With two out of every three Americans overweight or obese, scientists are studying how excess fat changes physical and mental health, demographers are calculating how it's shortening life spans, and economists are debating the impact it has on America's productivity and global competitiveness. But how weight affects intimacy and sexuality is barely discussed. Yet, it's a question of high importance for the tens of millions of Americans who are overweight or obese and having difficulty sexually and romantically.

A team of firefighters fought to save Heidi’s life after a horrific accident that killed her best friend, burned over 53 percent of Heidi’s body, and claimed both her legs. The following year followed countless surgeries, surviving, pain management, fighting, and loss. Until she finally faces the driver who changed her life, Heidi realizes she has one last hurdle: forgiveness.

Farrah Foley runs the way she runs her love life - too cautiously. She slows down just when it's time to fly. Getting dumped with no explanation by the love of her life, she's determined never to find herself in that position again. When Jude Farnesworth comes along, Farrah is intrigued but fears she can't compete with the kind of high-society women he meets in his town of Greenwich, Connecticut. Raised in Queens, she lives in the Bronx, where she runs with the Van Cortlandt Track Club.

More than 78 million American adults are nearing the age when unexpected aches and pains, weight gains, sudden illnesses, and confusing mental changes begin to occur. As children, our questions about how our bodies will change are met with knowledge and patience - anything to make the transition as seamless as possible. But at 50 or 60, there’s no one to help us figure out whether the changes we’re experiencing are a cause for concern or just a normal part of aging. Is This Normal? is a guidebook that focuses on putting this generation at ease by answering their most common questions.

As a college freshman business major suffering from a variety of anxiety-related maladies, Brian Leaf stumbled into an elective: Yoga. It was 1989. All his classmates were female. And men did not yet generally “cry, hug, or do yoga”. But yoga soothed and calmed Leaf as nothing else had. As his hilarious and wise tale shows, Leaf embarked on a quest for health and happiness - visiting yoga studios around the country and consulting Ayurvedic physicians, swamis, and even (accidentally) a prostitute.

To runners around the world, Dr. George Sheehan, author of the landmark New York Times best seller Running and Being, was nothing short of a guru - the country’s “greatest philosopher of sport”. But to his son Andrew, who had spent his entire boyhood longing for the attention and approval of an emotionally distant father, he was an incomprehensible paradox: a lifelong loner, who was now sunning himself in the spotlight of the nation’s press; a hero to millions, who seemed to have no time for his own son.

No one says losing weight is easy, but Matt Hoover is here to tell you that if he can do it, you can, too. Matt began gaining weight in college, depressed after failing to achieve the high standards he had set for his wrestling career. By the time he reached 340 pounds he had given up on college, wrestling, and his first marriage. When he was cast on NBC's The Biggest Loser, he had no idea how much his life (or his waist size) was about to change.

50 runners, from the world's elite to passionate amateurs, share the races they'll never forget. Every runner that enters a race has a unique reason for competing: racing for the challenge, for the achievement, for the health benefits, or for more personal reasons. But whether they are twenty-mile-a-day elite marathoners or twenty-mile-a-week recreational runners, each of them can invariably point to a singular performance as "the best race I ever ran."

A cosa pensi quando corri? Se d'impatto hai risposto "non lo so", ecco due notizie per te. La prima è che rientri nella maggioranza di persone che si allenano lasciando vagare la mente senza riposarla davvero. La seconda è che hai tra le mani l'audiolibro giusto. Correre imparando a concentrare l'attenzione su aspetti specifici, anziché rimbalzare da un pensiero all'altro, è un esercizio in grado di trasformare l'abitudine della corsa in un'esperienza molto più appagante, con effetti positivi enormi, non solo sui risultati sportivi.

Pur discendendo da una cultura lontana dalla nostra e da una disciplina molto antica, lo yoga è una pratica assai diffusa nel mondo occidentale contemporaneo, che si è dimostrata utile per il benessere fisico, psichico e per lo sviluppo della conoscenza di sé. La parola sanscrita "yoga" indica ogni metodo indiano di ascesi e di meditazione; così inteso, lo yoga ha avuto un ruolo cruciale in tutti i sentieri spirituali indiani che mirano a una trasformazione completa dell'essere umano.

Partiendo de esa premisa, esta obra muestra la práctica deportiva como un camino de extraordinaria utilidad para activar la inteligencia espiritual, trascendente o existencial, latente en todo ser humano.

El filòsof Francesc Torralba fa més de vint-i-cinc anys que surt a córrer cada dia. Ha participat en curses de fons, maratons i curses populars, i aquí comparteix amb el lector les seves vivències i sensacions més personals: com córrer li proporciona moments per estar sol i meditar, el connecta amb el seu propi cos, li carrega les piles, el vincula amb la natura i l'entorn.
