Shamanism is one of the world's oldest religions and is the practice of communicating with the natural and spiritual worlds through shamans, or medicine men. It may appeal to spiritual seekers who are disillusioned with traditional religions or New Age gurus because it offers a unique perspective, one based on experience rather than dogma and a celebration of the natural world and our place in it.

Health Secrets of the Stone Age . . . tells us* Why nature designed women to lose fat more slowly than men do. (And learn how it affected the survival of the human race).* Why children are supposed to be picky eaters. Frustrated parents take note.* Why those children with lots of energy will grow up to have stronger bones -- and a lower risk of osteoporosis when they grow up.* Why the diabetic epidemic is becoming critical. And what you can do about it* Why "stealth exercise" can make you look and feel younger.As you scan the Table of Contents, you won't find a chapter on recipes. You don't need new menus, unfamiliar foods or exotic additions to gain or lose weight . . .For readers who worry that the Stone age theme of this book includes raw meat, no meat or all meat, be assured that it does not. There is no need for a rigid foodstyle. Dietary recommendations are not dull, difficult, demanding or discouraging.

In The Paleo Manifesto: Ancient Wisdom for Lifelong Health, John Durant argues for an evolutionary – and revolutionary – approach to health. All animals, human or otherwise, thrive when they mimic key elements of life in their natural habitat. From diet to movement to sleep, this evolutionary perspective sheds light on some of our most pressing health concerns. What is causing the rise of chronic conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and depression? Is eating red meat going to kill you? Is avoiding the sun actually the best way to avoid skin cancer? Durant takes readers on a thrilling ride to the Paleolithic and beyond, unlocking the health secrets of our ancient ancestors. What do obese gorillas teach us about weight loss? How can Paleolithic skulls contain beautiful sets of teeth? Why is the Bible so obsessed with hygiene? What do NASA astronauts teach us about getting a good night’s sleep? And how are Silicon Valley techies hacking the human body? Blending science and culture, anthropology and philosophy, John Durant distills the lessons from his adventures and shows how to apply them to day-to-day life, teaching people how to construct their own personal “habitat” that will enable them to thrive. The book doesn’t just address what we eat, but why we eat it; not just how to exercise, but the purpose of functional movement; not just being healthy, but leading a purposeful life. Combining the best of ancient wisdom with cutting edge science, Durant crafts a vision of health that is both fresh and futuristic.

Have you ever wandered why men don't ask for directions? Why we react with anger to infidelity? Why we love music and art? Why war and racism still thrive in our most sophisticated cultures? In this fascinating synthesis of the disciplines of anthropology, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and biology, William Allman shows us how our minds have evolved in response to challenges faced by our prehistoric ancestors, and reveals how our brains continue to harbor that legacy in the present day. Scientists speculate that many of the problems of modern life -- from obesity to war -- arise because our "Stone Age mind" hasn't caught up with our technologically sophisticated world. But Allman also reveals how morality, rather than being the result of arbitrary convention, is deeply rooted in our need to cooperate, which has been essential to the survival of our species through its evolution.
