Even Hollywood’s biggest stars face the same dilemma as other parents do: “How do I get my child to sleep?” As parents in the know are finding, whether they’re on the red carpet or the soccer field, the answer is the same: The Sleepeasy Solution.
Psychotherapists and sleep specialists Jennifer and Jill, the dynamic “girlfriends” all of Hollywood calls on to solve Junior’s sleep problems, have perfected their sleep technique that will get any child snoozing in no time—most often in fewer than three nights. The key to their method? It addresses the emotional needs of both the parent and child (yes, how to handle the crying!)—a critical component of why most other sleep methods fail.
In this much-needed, family-friendly guide, weary parents will learn to define their own individual sleep goals, those that work for their family’s schedule and style. They’ll create a customized “sleep planner” to ensure consistency with both parents as well as extended caregivers. (As an added bonus, they’ll even improve the readers’ relationships with their spouses with the “marriage-saver” section.) With comprehensive sections devoted to each stage of Baby’s and Toddler’s development, plus solutions to special circumstances like traveling, daylight saving’s time, moving to a “big kid bed”

The next time you get sick, consider this before picking up the aspirin: your body may be doing exactly what it’s supposed to. In this ground-breaking book, two pioneers of the science of Darwinian medicine argue that illness as well as the factors that predispose us toward it are subject to the same laws of natural selection that otherwise make our bodies such miracles of design. Among the concerns they raise:
When may a fever be beneficial?
Why do pregnant women get morning sickness?
How do certain viruses “manipulate” their hosts into infecting others?
What evolutionary factors may be responsible for depression and panic disorder?
Deftly summarizing research on disorders ranging from allergies to Alzheimer’s, and form cancer to Huntington’s chorea, Why We Get Sick, answers these questions and more. The result is a book that will revolutionize our attitudes toward illness and will intrigue and instruct lay person and medical practitioners alike.
