This book is not just about what to eat and what not to eat. It’s about real mind shifts (pivots) to create new lasting results. We wanted to design a program that took the guesswork out, something you can do for the rest of your life with room to enjoy the things you love. After years of practice, we believe we’ve found an answer. A series of small changes in your lifestyle will build the foundation for the rest of your life and real success. Almost six years ago, we were two women in the same field, at the same pivot in the road, at the same stage of motherhood. Somehow we found each other. At the time we didn’t know our friendship would grow into more, but eventually it became a partnership. We had different personalities and different strengths, but we had the same driving desire to help people change their lives. That is what made us a perfect team and led us to create Clean Cut Fitness & Nutrition.Together we built our friendship through running programs and helping moms. We took our clients from some of their first 5K races all the way to half marathons.In fact, we continue to work so well together today due to the success we’ve had in guiding others to identify and reach their goals and in inspiring them to create new ones.When a group of our clients approached us and asked if we could hold a weight loss challenge, yup, another new path opened for us. Excited by this idea, we sat down and put our methods, past fitness experiences, new education, and life experiences together to design a simple but effective weight loss challenge. We decided six weeks was the ideal time to break apart some old habits and create new ones. We also knew six weeks wasn’t the final answer, and a lifetime of work was needed, but we knew it was a great foundation. Clean Cut was born. This simple, one-time challenge designed for this group, worked, and as you can imagine, people started asking, “What did you do? You look great!” Word got out, and interest grew, so we went with it and ran another challenge. We tweaked things along the way, building on our foundation. When things worked, we made them better. Things that had become roadblocks, we changed.We are always evolving and learning, which is the greatest part of Clean Cut. After our first small challenge gained momentum, we decided to create something for our clients and so many others. Over the years, Clean Cut has gone from a few challenges a year, to a national program that holds multiple core challenges along with holiday handhold programs, summer slam events and other pop-up programs that help people learn and succeed in the world of weight loss and management.

Ever since Adam Smith, the central teaching of economics has been that free markets provide us with material well-being, as if by an invisible hand. In Phishing for Phools, Nobel Prize-winning economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller deliver a fundamental challenge to this insight, arguing that markets harm as well as help us. As long as there is profit to be made, sellers will systematically exploit our psychological weaknesses and our ignorance through manipulation and deception. Rather than being essentially benign and always creating the greater good, markets are inherently filled with tricks and traps and will “”phish”” us as “”phools.

How can an evangelist convert a hardboiled sophisticate? Why does a POW sign a “confession” that he knows is false? How is a criminal pressured into admitting his guilt? Do the evangelist, the POW’s captor, and the policeman use similar methods to gain their ends? These and other compelling questions are discussed in this definitive work by William Sargant. Sargant explains and illustrates the basic techniques used by evangelists, psychiatrists, and brain-washers to dissolve existing, established patterns of belief, and then substitute new beliefs and behaviors.

For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life–until the unthinkable happens.

Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Karen Russell, Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.
