Personality isn't permanent : break free from self-limiting beliefs and rewrite your story
by Benjamin Hardy
Dr. Hardy draws on psychological research to demolish the popular misconception that personality-a person's consistent attitudes and behaviors-is innate and unchanging. He offers practical, motivational advice to help you cultivate the traits and achieve the goals you always dreamed of. In Personality Isn't Permanent, you'll learn: why you should never be the "former anything". Defining yourself by your past successes can be just as damaging to your potential to grow as being haunted by past failures, how to flip the script on negative memories and view them as something that happened for you, not to you, how to design a desired vision of your "future self," and make decisions based on what "they" would want, how to tap into what psychologists' call "pull motivation" by narrowing your focus on a single, definable, and compelling outcome, why you should consistently put yourself in new situations that can initially be emotionally uncomfortable, and why you should measure your progress by how much you've grown, rather than what you lack. Along the way, you'll hear fascinating true stories of radical self-transformation, and scientific strategies for reframing your past and designing your future, Personality Isn't Permanent is your practical guide to transcending your limitations and becoming the person you always wanted to be"

Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us
by Michael Moss
Acclaimed investigative journalist Michael Moss reveals how corporate food engineers manipulate our seemingly insatiable addictions to salt, sugar, and fat -- feeding America's current health crises, from obesity to diabetes. Moss breaks down the chemistry of junk foods' appeal, as well as the social trends and advertising strategies that lure us to buy despite the known risks. In particular, he targets the marketing of "healthier options": foods touted as low in one of the unholy trinity (for example, sodium) but dangerously high in the other two (sugar, fat). Salt Sugar Fat offers a sobering view of "the food we hate to love" (Publishers Weekly).
