There are countless books about menopause on the market. We’ve all accepted that women change at midlife. However, there is another much ignored change that affects hundreds of millions of women across the globe: manopause—the changes that all men go through starting at about age 40. In this groundbreaking book, Lisa Friedman Bloch and Kathy Kirtland Silverman look at men’s changes from a new and uplifting perspective. Aimed at women, Manopause explores how biological and psychological factors collide with the societal pressures men face, and provides advice on how women can help themselves and their men move through and enjoy this sometimes challenging phase. Laying out the commonly accepted rules of what it means to “be a man”—rules like “Your worth is only as great as your power, money, and status,” “Push down your emotions,” and “Always be aggressive and strong”—the authors explore how men strive to live up to these expectations, and how shouldering this burden becomes harder at midlife. Both physical changes and emotional realizations play in to men’s fear that they are losing their grip. And yet, as the authors explain, it is these very changes that can open the door to a far richer and more fulfilling life. You can also visit the authors’ website at http://themanopauseman.com/

This morning I will have an interview with Peter Moore, the Editor of Men's Health magazine about an article featured in this months issue. The story begins on page 124 of the latest issue of MEN’S HEALTH, and it’s called: “THE DIRTY TRUTH ABOUT HOSPITALS” Hospitals? Dirty?? How BAD could it be??? Let’s start with this shocking statistic: Hospital-acquired infections are killing about 300 people a day in the U.S... ...and that's like crashing a passenger jet every single day. So what can you do about it? From this article in the latest of MEN’S HEALTH... ...here’s what my listenres need to know: DIRTY-HOSPITAL TIP #1: THE CLEANING CREW... ...HAS NEVER BEEN TRAINED TO CLEAN Medical devices are becoming smaller and more sophisticated, which is good because it: Speeds recovery times Lowers complications from surgery Allows doctors a view into the body's hidden cavities. In fact, without the revolution in arthroscopy... ...you wouldn't be heading home an hour or two after the surgeon patches up your damaged joint. But what about the guy who has the job... ...of cleaning all the bodily gunk out of the equipment, from the guy who got tested right before YOU? This cleaning job is called “REPROCESSING”... ...and most of the time, that job is handled by technicians who, depending on the hospital and state they work in may be: Underpaid Under trained Might not have formal certification for what they do. Might not even have a copy of the proper cleaning instructions Might be trying to make sense of dozens of sets of instructions, which can differ from manufacturer to manufacturer for the same kind of instrument.

Other books tell us how to live the good life—but you might have to win the lottery to do it. Making Home is about improving life with the real people around us and the resources we already have. While encouraging us to be more resilient in the face of hard times, author Sharon Astyk also points out the beauty, grace, and elegance that result, because getting the most out of everything we use is a way of transforming our lives into something much more fulfilling. Written from the perspective of a family who has already made this transition, Making Home shows readers how to turn the challenge of living with less into settling for more—more happiness, more security, and more peace of mind. Learn simple but effective strategies to: Save money on everything from heating and cooling to refrigeration, laundry, water, sanitation, cooking, and cleaning Create a stronger, more resilient family Preserve more for future generations We must make fundamental changes to our way of life in the face of ongoing economic crisis and energy depletion. Making Home takes the fear out of this prospect, and invites us to embrace a simpler, more abundant reality. Sharon Astyk is a writer, teacher, blogger, and farmer whose family uses eighty percent less energy and resources than the average American household. She is a member of the board of directors of ASPO-USA, founder of the Riot 4 Austerity, and the author of three previous books, including Depletion and Abundance and Independence Days.

"Eat Yourself Super. . .One Bite at a Time" seeks to educate readers about Superfoods: what they are, where to find them, how to prepare them, and how to eat them. Using “Dr. Todd’s Superfoods Pyramid” and “Secrets of Long Life” research as the basis for this discussion, this guidebook will show readers how current scientific and medical research echoes the Doc’s finding on longevity and vital living cross-culturally, through the Superfoods lifestyle. Each level of the pyramid has its own chapter in the book, where the function and benefits of the foods featured on that level are explained. In addition, you will learn about the need for sunshine, pure water, balance and reflection, and indulge in a large number of easy to prepare recipes accommodating to all ability levels. Dr. Todd’s family prepares foods from these recipes every day, and they feel good about inviting readers to join the Superfoods table.
