Welcome to Litsy!

A niche recommendation, to be sure, but this is a great read if you have kids (or others in your life…including yourself!) that have issues with behavior, social interactions, anxiety, etc. Lots of good research and tips within, and most valuable is the encouragement to reframe misbehavior as stress behavior and to shift the focus from self-“control” to self-regulation.

My boss is retiring in a couple months and was starting to clean out his office today. I took advantage of the fact that he was getting rid of some books. #bookhaul 📚

The anger, the swearing at the book, the emotions the book brought out in me. It did make me angry and frustrated that things are going this way, and there doesn‘t seem to be a way to stop it… unless the government gets some teeth and stops bowing to the corporate lobbyists for the good of the regular people, the good of the farmers.

If there's a harmful chemical in a product, the EU bans it. Period. In the United States, no such thing is done unless there is extensive, years long study with one-hundred percent certainty that someone's sickness was caused by that product (spoiler alert: that means never). Why is the U.S. a dumping ground for these harmful chemicals? Lobbyists. While I disagree with Schapiro's views on GMOs, this book is far too important to not recommend.

It's this time of year ... 🕐🕑

This book was so good! I had no idea. My grandparents and in-laws all had chickens so I thought I knew stuff...I was so wrong. From the backyard to big commercial operations, everything chicken is covered. Fascinating, informative, and engaging read. Chickens. Who knew?
