Born a spastic quadriplegic, Rick Hoyt was written off by numerous doctors, but his parents, Dick and Judy Hoyt, were determined to give their son all the opportunities of a "normal" kid. In 1977, 15-year-old Rick asked his dad to enter a charity race. The twist? Rick wanted to run it too. Dick had never run a race before, and the thought of pushing his son’s wheelchair while running was daunting. But, once again, Dick and Rick were determined to overcome any obstacle. More than 1,000 races later, the devoted father son duo is affectionately known worldwide as Team Hoyt.

As a college freshman business major suffering from a variety of anxiety-related maladies, Brian Leaf stumbled into an elective: Yoga. It was 1989. All his classmates were female. And men did not yet generally “cry, hug, or do yoga”. But yoga soothed and calmed Leaf as nothing else had. As his hilarious and wise tale shows, Leaf embarked on a quest for health and happiness - visiting yoga studios around the country and consulting Ayurvedic physicians, swamis, and even (accidentally) a prostitute.

To runners around the world, Dr. George Sheehan, author of the landmark New York Times best seller Running and Being, was nothing short of a guru - the country’s “greatest philosopher of sport”. But to his son Andrew, who had spent his entire boyhood longing for the attention and approval of an emotionally distant father, he was an incomprehensible paradox: a lifelong loner, who was now sunning himself in the spotlight of the nation’s press; a hero to millions, who seemed to have no time for his own son.

No one says losing weight is easy, but Matt Hoover is here to tell you that if he can do it, you can, too.

A cosa pensi quando corri? Se d'impatto hai risposto "non lo so", ecco due notizie per te. La prima è che rientri nella maggioranza di persone che si allenano lasciando vagare la mente senza riposarla davvero. La seconda è che hai tra le mani l'audiolibro giusto.

Pur discendendo da una cultura lontana dalla nostra e da una disciplina molto antica, lo yoga è una pratica assai diffusa nel mondo occidentale contemporaneo, che si è dimostrata utile per il benessere fisico, psichico e per lo sviluppo della conoscenza di sé. La parola sanscrita "yoga" indica ogni metodo indiano di ascesi e di meditazione; così inteso, lo yoga ha avuto un ruolo cruciale in tutti i sentieri spirituali indiani che mirano a una trasformazione completa dell'essere umano.

Queremos todos viver com saúde. Mas será que nosso cotidiano é, de fato, saudável? Abusamos do álcool? Somos excessivamente estressados? Não dispensamos o cigarro?

O clínico geral Arnaldo Lichtenstein, do Hospital das Clínicas da USP, aborda todas essas questões com muita informação, bom senso e uma dose generosa de bom humor.

Se lasciati a loro stessi, i corpi si accartocciano, si deformano, si imbruttiscono, ma grazie al lavoro costante alla disciplina, ai sacrifici è possibile modificare il corso «naturale» degli eventi. Questa ricerca di una perfezione utopica e variamente declinata, esasperata per difetto e per eccesso, è alimentata da canoni estetici imposti dal contesto culturale e dalle specifiche discipline – il body building, la danza, la ginnastica – ma spesso si innesta su un disagio del quale anoressia e vigoressia sono sintomi opposti e complementari.

Spostarsi con le proprie gambe, senza consumare altro che la propria energia. Assaporare un passo più lento, accorgersi degli alberi, dei negozi, delle persone che incontriamo lungo il tragitto. Arrivare al lavoro svegli e pronti ad affrontare la giornata. Ma anche godersi il silenzio di un sentiero tra i campi, sfogare le emozioni spingendo sui pedali, o sapere che si potrà arrivare direttamente davanti al cinema senza preoccuparsi del parcheggio: sono tante le felicità possibili se si sceglie di vivere una vita a due ruote.
