Extraordinary Food from an Ordinary Dude

# data[].attributes.description
Are you craving a way to eat killer food without killing yourself, animals, or the planet? Is your brain bloated from watching cooking shows that present recipes youre never, ever going to make? Have you been searching for a way to prove to your friends that vegan food can be just as delicious, hearty, and satisfying as the meaty meals theyre accustomed to? Then this is the book for you.

Of his journey from watching food porn on his parents couch to cooking in Hollywood kitchens to becoming vegan, author Brian Patton writes:

My roommate said he didnt know what made me a bigger loser: that I was painstakingly preserving episodes of 30 Minute Meals or that I was trying to conceal their existence by labeling them Star Trek....Once I discovered that I could not only survive but thrive without taking the life of another being, I was sold. I was a vegan. For good.

And thats how an ordinary dude became the Sexy Vegan and started creating extraordinary food with a decidedly real-meal appeal. On every page, Brian proves that seriously good food neednt be too serious.

The Real Meaning of Life wasnt written by an expert. It isnt the culmination of painstaking self-study or a sudden breakthrough. Instead, this fascinating book collects the insights of everyday people who responded to NYU freshman David Seamans simple query, What is the meaning of life?
To his surprise, he received a flood of responses. Some suggested things like bikinis and beer, but Seaman found that most were much more thoughtful  so much so that he created a website and now this book to collect the best of them. From thousands of respondents  including Buddhists, born-again Christians, atheists, waitresses, students, and recovering heart attack patients  come incredibly diverse nuggets of wisdom that can be aphoristic (Be grease, not glue), philosophical (There is no point to life, and that is exactly what makes it so special), or whimsical (Me, I'm going snowboarding).

Developing Focus and Discipline in Your Life  Master Any Skill or Challenge by Learning to Love the Process

# data[].attributes.description
In those times when we want to acquire a new skill or face a formidable challenge we hope to overcome, what we need most are patience, focus, and discipline, traits that seem elusive or difficult to maintain. In this enticing and practical book, Thomas Sterner demonstrates how to learn skills for any aspect of life, from golfing to business to parenting, by learning to love the process. 

Early life is all about trial-and-error practice. If we had given up in the face of failure, repetition, and difficulty, we would never have learned to walk or tie our shoes. So why, as adults, do we often give up on a goal when at first we dont succeed? Modern lifes technological speed, habitual multitasking, and promises of instant gratification dont help. But in his study of how we learn (prompted by his pursuit of disciplines such as music and golf), Sterner has found that we have also forgotten the principles of practice  the process of picking a goal and applying steady effort to reach it. The methods Sterner teaches show that practice done properly isnt drudgery on the way to mastery but a fulfilling process in and of itself, one that builds discipline and clarity.

By focusing on process, not product, youll learn to live in each moment, where youll find calmness and equanimity. This book will transform a sense of futility around learning something challenging into an attitude of pleasure and willingness.
