Summary

"Intermittent Fasting" explores the fascinating world of timed eating patterns and their potential impact on health and longevity. This comprehensive guide challenges conventional wisdom about constant eating, proposing that strategic periods of fasting can trigger powerful cellular repair processes and metabolic shifts. The book delves into the biological mechanisms of fasting, various fasting protocols, and the wide-ranging health benefits associated with this practice.   
Readers will discover how intermittent fasting aligns with our evolutionary biology and circadian rhythms, potentially offering a more natural approach to eating. The book highlights intriguing concepts such as autophagy, a cellular cleaning process activated during fasting, and metabolic switching, where the body shifts from burning glucose to fat for energy. These processes are linked to improved metabolic health, weight management, and even cognitive function.   
Progressing from the basics to practical application, "Intermittent Fasting" provides a balanced view of this dietary approach. It combines scientific research, expert interviews, and case studies to offer readers a thorough understanding of fasting's potential benefits and risks. With its accessible language and practical guidelines, this book serves as an invaluable resource for anyone interested in optimizing their health through the power of when they eat.

    The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project). 
 
Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed. 
 
Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation. 
 
At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation. 
 
The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room! 
 
“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
