Maybe you've tried a number of fad diets, with any number of methods—many of which lay the blame on eating too much food that's high in fat and sugar. But here's the truth: No single factor causes obesity. Being overweight involves genetics, physiology, and behavior—and the one thing that's missing from most diet plans is a clear plan for addressing psychological factors to change the way we think about food. In The Thinsulin® Program, psychiatrist Charles T. Nguyen and bariatric internist Tu Song-Anh Nguyen identify the real culprits behind obesity—and share their proven, science-based, two-stage plan for weight loss. First, the Active Phase shows you how to gain control of and lower your insulin levels through food choices, enabling dramatic weight loss. Next, the Passive Phase helps you to adopt a new way of thinking about food, focusing on insulin rather than calories, to develop the skills to keep excess weight off for good. The Thinsulin® Program offers a medical breakthrough by uniquely harnessing the synergy between the working of your body and the power of your mind to manage your weight. The program gives you the skills to change your thinking permanently so that you find longstanding success on your weight- loss journey.

Cassie is in love ... with God. And love can make you do the craziest of things ... things you wouldn't normally dream of doing if you were thinking clearly ... if you were thinking logically. But, through the years in her relationship with God, Cassie has learned one very valuable lesson: Everything doesn't have to make sense - it doesn't all have to be logical. If love is blind, then Cassie is blindly following the One who created her - the One who knows her best - and who knows what's best for her. As Cassie contemplates her life, and which direction she should take next, she will discover - in a greater way than ever before - how surrendering all to God results in living a life rich with purpose, meaning, fulfillment, peace, and hope - hope that will one day result in hearing the words she longs to hear, "Well done, my daughter."

"Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life." --Hermann Hesse Tilly's Tree begins with the birth of a baby girl. To honor her life and teach her to connect with all living things, Grandpa planted a tree. --Excerpt from Tilly's Tree Tilly and her tree grow through life together as Grandpa teaches Tilly to have compassion for all living things. One day, Tilly arrives home to find her Mom waiting to share the sad news that Grandpa passed on. Together, they find comfort under Tilly's tree. After a reflective summer under her tree, Tilly is awakened to the connections between all living things and to her own greater purpose, just as Grandpa had intended. Tilly grows up to become an arborist in a forest where she cares for many trees. She meets a special person in the forest that shares her connection to all living things. They marry under Tilly's tree. Moments before her ceremony: She closed her eyes and saw herself as a child there. She heard Grandpa's voice in the rustling leaves and felt his gentle kiss through the breeze on her cheek. Tilly heard her own laughter swirling through the branches above. She remembered the hours of quiet and stillness and those miraculous moments when she was awakened with an understanding that she was a part of everything that existed in the world. Tilly's heart opened wide from all the love and sacred gifts that had been shared under her special tree. --Excerpt from Tilly's Tree Sometime later, Tilly gives birth to a baby girl, and the story comes full circle to repeat this family's tradition of honoring the birth of a child.
