We all can benefit from his work and his thoughtful authorship." — Tracy Anderson, fitness pioneer and Creator of the Tracy Anderson Method "Dr Drew Ramsey is one of the few brave voices in the medical community who is experienced, courageous and confident enough to talk openly about food and its significance on mental health.

I'm personally inspired by Drew's work and the immense effort he brings to all of his books and projects." — Dr Rupy Aujla, Founder and Author of The Doctor's Kitchen "As one of the few physician-farmers in the U.S., Drew has blended the science of evidence-based medicine with the top foods from careful farming and ranching to offer a dynamic, easy plan for optimal mental health you can live by, every day. It's the very best food, written from the heart, and created for your brain." — John La Puma, MD, New York Times Best-Selling Author, ChefMD's Big Book of Culinary Medicine; Founder, La Puma Farms “Dr. Ramsey has been leading the world of mental health to food and nutrition.

Dr. Ramsey’s book is a must-read and will shift your relationship with food to be more mindful with a perspective on culinary medicine." — Marjorie Morrison, LMFT, LPC, CEO and Co-founder, Psych Hub “In a world where depression and anxiety are increasingly common and painfully corrosive to our lives, Dr. Ramsey provides a beautiful and clear road map to help us move from lonely suffering to rich, meaningful living through simple dietary shifts.

Book SynopsisForeword by CiaraIn this breakthrough book, the author of Wall Street Journal bestseller It Takes What It Takes provides life-changing, step-by-step guidance on how to successfully navigate adversity and defeat negativity by downshifting to neutral thinking.Trade Review"Trevor has been incredibly valuable in helping me and so many players and teams understand the value of neutral thinking. To not dwell on what is behind you or what is out in front of you, but to focus on the present moment. To look at the moment and be neutral about the situation and focus on what you have to do and what you can control. You will find this book very impactful in helping you understand the right mental approach for any situation in your life." — Billy Donovan, head coach, Chicago Bulls, 2-time NCAA champion, University of Florida “Now more than ever, every competitive organization wants the ability to recover quickly from setbacks or adversity. In enterprise selling, the ability for individuals and leaders do so is core to their success. The principle of 'Neutral Thinking', not being defined by a single circumstance, event, or attaching our worth to a single outcome but living in the moment, is the foundation that allows us to recover fast. Our resilience as a sales organization has improved because of our work with Trevor because we now live in the truth; what has happened, what is happening, and what can I do now to change the outcome. We are better sellers for it, and our customers more grateful for it.” — John Dougan Senior Director, Global Sales, Delivery and Coaching, Workday "Every single day, professional and collegiate athletes are under tremendous pressure to perform at their best on a public stage . Trevor’s understanding and empathy for the visibility, scrutiny and accountability they face is unmatched. His strategies to help the world’s best get to a “neutral” mindset are applicable to athletes of any age. While wins, losses and statistical accomplishments are volatile, those who can stay neutral and in the present have the best opportunity to sustain success. For over 20 years, I’ve witnessed first-hand the impact Trevor’s work has had on individuals and organizations. This book will absolutely make a positive impact on every reader." — Brodie VanWagenenen, Former GM, NY Mets, Ceo, Roc Nation "Trevor has been a great asset to me and our program as we look to take the Maryland Football program to a consistent level of success each and every year. GET TO NEUTRAL provides important insights that can be applied both on and off the field." — Mike Locksley, Head Football Coach, The University of Maryland "Since meeting Trevor in 1999, his work with athletes, coaches, military, and the corporate world has centered on effective strategies to develop mental toughness. Educating others on the concept of NEUTRAL has been impactful to so many individuals and teams, but maybe none more important than himself after reading this book and knowing all he has endured!" — Chad Bohling, New York Yankees director of mental conditioning and consultant to the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Stars, and Wheels Up. "Trevor Moawad is a beast helping elite athletes, leaders and warriors optimize their performance. I hired Trevor 12 years ago to come to Coronado, CA and help the SEAL community take our game to the next level. The results were outstanding and his strategies and approaches helped many warriors perform more effectively on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. Whether you are a leader, an athlete or simply someone interested in becoming more effective when it matters most, Trevor Moawad’s neutral thinking strategies will be a game-changer for you." — Tom Chaby Captain (retired) USN Former Commanding Officer - SEAL "For the daily storms that knock us down and off course in life or business or sports, Trevor Moawad offers a powerful and practical path to bouncing back and achieving sustainable success. Forward and reverse are the two gears we may use most, but Moawad skillfully shows how a neutral mindset may be our best friend and most helpful ally in any crisis." — Ben Sherwood, former president of the Disney ABC Television Group and CEO of MOJO Sports. “Life is such a mental game, and every one of us could use Trevor’s coaching. Whether we are parenting, leading, or caregiving, understanding how to harness the power of our minds is such an asset. If you want to play the long game of life, Trev is your guy.” — Maria Shriver

Every patient needs a copy of this gem.” –Katherine May, author of Wintering and EnchantmentA gentle, expert guide to the secrets of recovery, showing why we need it and how to do it betterFor many of us, time spent in recovery—from a broken leg, a virus, chronic illness, or the crisis of depression or anxiety—can feel like an unwelcome obstacle on the road to health. Modern medicine too often assumes that once doctors have prescribed a course of treatment, healing takes care of itself.

Book SynopsisApple's Best Books of August 2023 A memoir penned with one good finger, Ndopu writes about being profoundly disabled and profoundly successful.   Global humanitarian Eddie Ndopu was born with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare degenerative motor neuron disease affecting his mobility. He was told that he wouldn’t live beyond age five and yet, Ndopu thrived. He grew up loving pop music, lip syncing the latest hits, and watching The Bold and the Beautiful for the haute couture, and was the only wheelchair user at his school, where he flourished academically. By his late teens, he had become a sought after speaker, travelling the world to address audiences about disability justice.  Ndopu was ecstatic when he was later accepted on a full scholarship into one of the world's most prestigious schools, Oxford University. But he soon learns that it's not just the medical community he must thwart— it's the educational one too.  In Sipping Dom Pérignon Through a Straw, we follow Ndopu, sporting his oversized, bejewelled sunglasses, as he scales the mountain of success, only to find exclusion, discrimination, and neglect waiting for him on the other side. Like every other student, Ndopu tries to keep up appearances—dashing to and from his public policy lectures before meeting for cocktails with his squad, all while campaigning to become student body president. Privately, however, Ndopu faces obstacles that are all too familiar to people with disabilities, yet remain unnoticed by most people. With the revolving door of care aides, hefty bills, and a lack of support from the university, Ndopu feels alienated by his environment. As he soars professionally, sipping champagne with world leaders, he continues to feel the loneliness and pressure of being the only one in the room. Determined to carve out his place in the world, he must challenge bias at the highest echelons of power and prestige. But as the pressure mounts, Ndopu must find his stride or collapse under the crushing weight of ableism. Written with his one good finger, this evocative, searing, and vulnerable prose will leave you spellbound by Ndopu’s remarkable journey to reach beyond ableism, reminding us of our own capacity for resilience.

Book Synopsis An inspiring memoir of one man’s transformation from a delinquent, drug-dealing dropout to an award-winning Harvard educator through literature and debate—all by the age of twenty-seven.Brandon P. Fleming grew up in an abusive home and was shuffled through school, his passing grades a nod to his skill on the basketball court, not his presence in the classroom. He turned to the streets and drug deals by fourteen, saved only by the dream of basketball stardom. When he suffered a career-ending injury during his first semester at a Division I school, he dropped out of college, toiling on an assembly line, until depression drove him to the edge. Miraculously, his life was spared.Returning to college, Fleming was determined to reinvent himself as a scholar—to replace illiteracy with mastery over language, to go from being ignored and unseen to commanding attention. He immersed himself in the work of Black thinkers from the Harlem Renaissance to present day. Crucially, he found debate, which became the means by which he transformed his life and the tool he would use to transform the lives of others—teaching underserved kids to be intrusive in places that are not inclusive, eventually at Harvard University, where he would make champions and history.Through his personal narrative, readers witness Fleming’s transformation, self-education, and how he takes what he learns about words and power to help others like himself. Miseducated is an honest memoir about resilience, visibility, role models, and overcoming all expectations.
