 Crazy Wisdom Saves the World Again!: Handbook for a Spiritual Revolution by Wes Scoop Nisker
"[Wes "Scoop" Nisker] delivers zen zingers with Borscht Belt timing."-The New York Times
Coming at a desperate time for the planet, this new Cody's Book draws from religion, evolution, cosmology, and Buddhism, and calls for a new spirituality-one that fits our modern, scientific worldview. Wes "Scoop" Nisker shows why life is beautiful ("Be Here Wow!") and invites all sentient beings to celebrate. Here is a seriously funny manifesto for Nisker fans and anyone looking for crazy wisdom to help cope with today's world.
Journalist, author, and Buddhist meditation teacher, Wes "Scoop" Nisker has a number of earlier publications, including The Essential Crazy Wisdom (2001) and Big Bang, the Buddha, and the Baby Boom (2003). Nisker is well-known in California as an irreverent radio personality.

 Carved in Sand: When Attention Fails and Memory Fades in Midlife by Cathryn Jakobson Ramin
Acclaimed journalist Cathryn Jakobson Ramin takes readers on a lively journey to explain what happens to memory and attention in middle age.
Anyone older than forty knows that forgetfulness can be unnerving, frustrating, and sometimes terrifying. With compassion and humor, Jakobson Ramin sets out to discover what midlife forgetfulness is all about-from the perspectives of physiology, psychology, and sociology. Relentless in her search for answers to questions about her own unreliable memory, she explores the factors that determine how well-or poorly-one's brain will age. She consults experts in the fields of sleep, stress, traumatic brain injury, hormones, genetics, and dementia, as well as specialists in nutrition, cognitive psychology, and the burgeoning field of drug-based cognitive enhancement. The landscape of the midlife brain is not what you might think, and to understand its strengths and weaknesses turns out to be the best way to cope.
A groundbreaking work that represents the best of narrative nonfiction, this is a timely, highly readable, and much-needed book for anyone whose memory is not what it used to be.
