ABOUT DITCH THE DIETS

Talking about nutrition is a lot like talking about religion or politics. Just ask the 45 million Americans who diet each year about their feelings surrounding food and diets! The abundance of gimmicks and quick-fix promises can confuse and frustrate anyone trying to lose weight and keep it off.

Kathryn Scoblick debunks dieting myths and says achieving weight loss and good health is Not All About the Food. From her book and workshop, Ditch the Diets you will learn:

• How beliefs and thoughts create your reality and keep you stuck or help you break established patterns
• How to frame your reality and create a clear vision and live the life you have imagined
• Strengthen life’s most important treasures such as your relationships and your authenticity
• How to implement proper nutrition, physical activity and plenty of rest
• To detect sound nutrition advice, and differentiate between clinical evidence and food industry miracle marketing

Drawing lessons from positive psychologists, clinical researchers, spiritual leaders and others, Kathryn provides step-by-step instructions for making changes today that lead to your healthier future. Ditch the Diets and find renewed vitality, peace and happiness in your personalized approach to a healthy weight and a fulfilling life.

ABOUT SUSTAINABLE SECURITY

As the world shifts away from the unquestioned American hegemony that followed in the wake of the Cold War, the United States is likely to face new kinds of threats and sharper resource constraints than it has in the past. However, the country’s alliances, military institutions, and national security strategy have changed little since the Cold War. American foreign and defense policies, therefore, should be assessed for their fitness for achieving sustainable national security amidst the dynamism of the international political economy, changing domestic politics, and even a changing climate.

This book brings together fifteen leading scholars from across political science, history, and political economy to highlight a range of American security considerations that deserve a larger role in both scholarship and strategic decision-making. In these chapters, scholars of political economy and the American defense budget examine the economic engine that underlies U.S. military might and the ways the country deploys these vast (but finite) resources. Historians illuminate how past great powers coped with changing international orders through strategic and institutional innovations. And regional experts assess America’s current long-term engagements, from NATO to the chaos of the Middle East to the web of alliances in Asia, deepening understandings that help guard against both costly commitments and short-sighted retrenchments.

This interdisciplinary volume sets an agenda for future scholarship that links politics, economics, and history in pursuit of sustainable security for the United States – and greater peace and stability for Americans and non-Americans alike.
