The Good Karma Diet: Eat Gently, Feel Amazing, Age in Slow MotionThe Good Karma Diet: Eat Gently, Feel Amazing, Age in Slow Motion
by Victoria Moran
Tarcher/Penguin

Victoria Moran realized that, in her 20 years of writing books, she had yet to address directly the most rewarding element of going vegan: by not eating animals or animal products, you are inherently treating other fellow living beings better. You are, through your diet, practicing good karma. In her new book The Good Karma Diet: Eat Gently, Feel Amazing, Age in Slow Motion, Victoria goes beyond restrictive diet plans and obsessive calorie counting. “You’ll be doing something revolutionary,” Victoria writes, “making food choices based on kindness and love instead of preferences formed in childhood. With warmth and humor, Moran encourages nonvegans, vegetarians, and everyone in-between to start basking in the health, joy, and personal gratification of a “karmically good diet.”

Moran explores: True “Good Karma Stories” from non-vegetarians about the upgrades they saw in their own lives after they began to eat kindly; the “dollars and sense” of a good karma diet; 30 delicious recipes; and the anti-aging, beauty, and weight loss results that begin almost immediately once you recognize the divinity in yourself and in other animals; and how to adhere to your good karma diet even when going vegan gets tough—and sustain your new enlightened outlook on yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. The Good Karma Diet reveals that the secret to treating ourselves well (and, in turn, dropping those persistent last ten pounds!) is actually quite simple: treat our planet and all its inhabitants with love and kindness.

 

The Art of Selling the Art of HealingThe Art of Selling the Art of Healing
by Alex Lubarsky

Two testimonials from holistic practitioners succinctly sum up Mr. Lubarsky’s new book: Alex Shvartsman, DDS characterizes it as “A first of its kind – a book written for the business of the emerging field of holistic, concierge and non-allopathic medicine, with an autobiographical undertone.”

Ozone Therapy expert, Dr. Howard Robbins, adds, “Alex Lubarsky has written a book that could be entitled How to Succeed in Establishing a Successful, Third-party Independent, Natural Medicine Practice. Many doctors are natural healers but never become successful, as they remain ‘hidden’ from the public. Successful marketing is not taught in medical school. Alex is an amazing medical marketing coach, as well as a cheerleader and guide in how to take action. I strongly recommend this book for all healers.” Creations Magazine has worked with Alex Lubarsky as a Media Partner for 10 years, and will continue to do so for as long as we’re welcome. Readers will greatly enjoy, and benefit from The Art of Selling the Art of Healing.

 

 

Z-SCORE: How a Statistic Used in Psychology Will Revolutionize Baseball

Z-SCORE: How a Statistic Used in Psychology Will Revolutionize Baseball

Whose single-season home run record total is really the greatest? a) Barry Bonds - 73 HR, 2001; b) Roger Maris – 61, 1961; c) Babe Ruth – 60 HR, 1927; d) none of the above. The answer may surprise you!

Have you ever wondered how the feats of today’s baseball stars – playing in an era of rampant steroid use, smaller ballparks and “juiced” baseballs – compare with those of the old-time greats? Z-score presents a game-changing approach for comparing the greatest achievements in baseball history using a statistic common to psychological testing: the z-score. The authors claim that the main benefit of using z-scores to analyze and evaluate performance, whether in baseball, academics or anything else, is that it enables you to compare things that are evaluated using different metrics or forms of assessment – meaning you can compare apples to oranges. In the context of baseball, this means we can compare pitching and hitting statistics.

Written by John Cottone, a clinical psychologist, and Jason Wirchin, a TV news producer and baseball enthusiast, Z-SCORE provides analyses and insight that will fascinate old school baseball fans and new wave sabermetricians alike. (BTW, the answer to the question above: d) none of the above. The z-score for the 29 homeruns Babe Ruth hit in 1919 tops them all!
