The 7 Fears: We Must Conquer (Heroic +1 #1,505)

Darrin Donnelly combines narrative and actionable advice in a sports fable that centers on conquering fear to achieve victory in life and sport. The book identifies seven pervasive fears—including fear of others' opinions, change, wrong decisions, missing out, inadequacy, permanent failure, and impending setbacks—and explores how they manifest and derail performance. Each fear is treated in its own chapter, interwoven with scenes from a championship fight and concluded with affirmations and practical strategies to build courage and resilience. Donnelly's approach blends storytelling with mindset coaching, offering readers both motivation and concrete practices to move past fear and pursue their goals. The work aims to make psychological tools accessible through engaging narrative and repetitive affirmation to foster behavioral change.

Drawing on decades of research, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer outlines a revolutionary new understanding that unites existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework: Mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain. The book details the connections between mental illness and metabolic disorders, including diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and other conditions. It also sheds light on new treatment pathways that apply to various mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, alcoholism, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, autism, and schizophrenia. Palmer pairs cutting-edge science with practical advice and strategies to help people reclaim their mental health, emphasizing the role of metabolism in mental health and the potential of dietary and metabolic interventions for treatment.
