Average Sucks: Why You Don't Get What You Want (and What to Do about It)

Average Sucks: Why You Don't Get What You Want (and What to Do about It)

Michael Bernoff

You've tried everything they told you to do. You pushed, you hustled. Nothing is really wrong, and yet, you're unsatisfied with where you are. You're painfully aware that there's another level you can reach, and think you know what you need to do to get there. The only problem is you're not doing it--at least not consistently. It's not your fault that you feel stuck. There's an invisible force holding you back, and in Average Sucks, Michael Bernoff shows you what it is and what you can do about it. Michael is not teaching business strategy, and this is not a book designed to bury you in busywork. It's an invitation to meet the real you. The one who lives life the way they want to live. Michael is going to show you how to easily change the way you think and how you do things, so you can enjoy more success and more fun while you're at it. You deserve better than average, you're capable of it, too--isn't it time to go get it?

Marc Bekoff, one of the world s leading animal experts and activists, here applies rewilding to human attitudes.

Primate People

Primate People

Marc Bekoff

University of Utah Press,U.S.
2012
nidottu
In the last 30 years the bushmeat trade has led to the slaughter of nearly 90 percent of West Africa’s bonobos, perhaps our closest relatives, and has recently driven Miss Waldron’s red colobus monkey to extinction. Earth was once rich with primates, but every species—except one—is now extinct or endangered because of one primate—Homo sapiens. How have our economic and cultural practices pushed our cousins toward destruction? Would we care more about their fate if we knew something of their individual lives and sufferings? Would we help them if we understood how our choices threaten their existence? This anthology helps to answer these questions.The first section of Primate People introduces forces that threaten nonhuman primates, such as the entertainment and “pet” industries, the bushmeat trade, habitat destruction, and logging. The second section exposes the exploitation of primates in research facilities, including the painful memories of an undercover agent, and suggests models of more enlightened scientific methods. The final section tells the stories of those who lobby for change, educate communities, and tenderly care for our displaced cousins in sanctuaries.Sometimes shocking and disturbing, sometimes poignant and encouraging, Primate People always draws the reader into the lives of nonhuman primates. Activists around the world reveal the antics and pleasures of monkeys, the tendencies and idiosyncrasies of chimpanzees, and the sufferings and fears of macaques. Charming, difficult, sensitive—these testimonies demonstrate that nonhuman primates and human beings are, indeed, closely related. Woven into the anthology’s lucid narratives are the stories of how we harm and create the conditions that endanger primates, and what we can and must do to prevent their ongoing suffering and fast-approaching extinction.

Unleashing Your Dog

Unleashing Your Dog

Marc Bekoff; Jessica Pierce

New World Library
2019
nidottu
The phrase "it's a dog's life" connotes happy-go-lucky days of pleasure and ease. But our canine companions are in many ways our captives. No matter how cushy their captivity, we decide what and when they eat; where they sleep, poop, and play; when they can walk and when they must sit or stay. As the demand for dog trainers and veterinary behaviorists attests, dogs are not naturally adapted to living with and among modern humans. They give up a lot of freedom and instinctual pleasure, as well as their innate strategies for coping with stress and anxiety, in exchange for the comfort and care they get from humans. Bekoff and Pierce show that it is possible to let dogs be dogs without wreaking havoc on our own lives. They begin by illuminating the true nature of dogs and helping us "walk in their paws." They reveal what smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing mean to dogs and then guide readers through everyday ways of enhancing a dog's freedom and minimizing deprivations in safe, mutually happy ways. The rewards, they show, are great -- for dog and human alike.

Dogs Demystified

Dogs Demystified

Marc Bekoff; Jane Goodall

NEW WORLD LIBRARY
2023
nidottu
An easy-to-read, all-encompassing, and fun reference on all things canine from an award-winning scientist who has studied and loved dogs (and their wild relatives) for more than five decades No one is better than Dr. Marc Bekoff at turning state-of-the-art animal science into practical, reader-friendly information. His subjects include dog care, dog cognition and emotions, and dog-human relationships, and though he has impressive scientific credentials and much technical expertise, this is the accessible book that every dog lover should have. In concise, readable A-through-Z entries, Bekoff covers it all, including: - Why your dog is doing this and not doing that- Whether dogs have "human" traits such as jealousy and obsessive-compulsive disorder- Why it is important to recognize the individuality of each dog, rather than assume that any or all dogs should act or respond in the same way- Exactly how to meet any dog eye-to-eye, nose-to-nose, and ear-to-ear to create enduring reciprocal bonds- How tuning in to a dog's unique personality busts one-size-fits-all theories and leads to happier dogs and happier human companions As the saying goes, dogs are many humans' best friends and beloved family members. If that's the case for you -- and whether you are a dog lover, vet, or trainer; whether you have just brought home a puppy or are nursing a senior dog -- Dogs Demystified will answer your questions, unlock mysteries, and foster harmony and happiness for all.

The Emotional Lives of Animals Revised

The Emotional Lives of Animals Revised

Marc Bekoff

NEW WORLD LIBRARY
2024
nidottu
In this revised and expanded edition of a seminal and award-winning exploration of animal emotion, sentience, and cognition, a prominent animal researcher discusses and incorporates the surge of new science in a fascinating and vital field of study When award-winning scientist Marc Bekoff penned the first edition of The Emotional Lives of Animals in 2007, he predicted that in twenty years' time our understanding of animal cognition and emotion would be "richer, more accurate, and possibly different." This turned out to be an understatement. Not only has the field seen an explosion of new and startling research, but the popular appetite for this research has grown as well, spawning podcasts, countless articles, and bestselling books from Frans de Waal, Carl Safina, and Ed Yong, among others. Based on Bekoff's years of studying social communication in a wide range of species, this book was one of the first to establish the rich emotional lives of animals. Bekoff skillfully blends extraordinary stories of animal joy, empathy, grief, embarrassment, anger, and love with the latest scientific research confirming the existence of emotions that common sense and experience have long implied. Filled with light humor and touching stories, The Emotional Lives of Animals is a clarion call for reassessing both how we view and how we treat animals.

Pedaling Resistance

Pedaling Resistance

Marc Bekoff

University of Arkansas Press
2024
nidottu
Vegans and cyclists are often outsiders, negotiating food systems and built environments that tend to prioritize omnivores and motor vehicles by default. Pedaling Resistance: Sympathy, Subversion, and Vegan Cycling examines the relationship between veganism and cycling through the journeys, experiences, and reflections of a dozen vegan cyclists from the United States and beyond. The essays in this collection explore the unity between cycling for health, work, competition, transport, and joy, and the issues of animal suffering, environmentalism, and speciesism inherent in veganism—all through lenses of class, race, gender, and disability. Pedaling Resistance illuminates themes of everyday resistance and boundary crossing to uncover the greater social and political issues that underlie the decisions to give up animal products and choose cycling over driving.

It's about friendship and change-the good and the bad It made me feel so many things-excited, happy, sad, and everything all at once. It's really heartwarming, and shows that people can change even if at first it seems like they can't. It kept surprising me and every chapter was more exciting than the last and I just couldn't wait to see what was going to happen I think everyone should read this book-girls, boys, young people and grown ups too. I LOVED IT " -Everly Carganilla, actress in Yes Day and Spy Kids: Armageddon "I love Emmy so much. This is the perfect book for preteens or young teens going through those rough middle school years, dealing with periods, boys, friend drama, and family pressure. It's also perfect for those of us reminiscing on those hard times and looking back through a friendlier lense. Emmy grows so much in this book, coming in to her own in a fun and relatable way. Definitely recommend " - Haleigh Wenger, author of Managing the Matthews

Why Dogs Hump and Bees Get Depressed

Why Dogs Hump and Bees Get Depressed

Marc Bekoff

New World Library
2013
nidottu
In 2009, Marc Bekoff was asked to write on animal emotions for Psychology Today. Some 500 popular, jargon-free essays later, the field of anthrozoology -- the study of human-animal relationships -- has grown exponentially, as have scientific data showing how smart and emotional nonhuman animals are. Here Bekoff offers selected essays that showcase the fascinating cognitive abilities of other animals as well as their empathy, compassion, grief, humor, joy, and love. Humpback whales protect gray whales from orca attacks, combat dogs and other animals suffer from PTSD, and chickens, rats, and mice display empathy. This collection is both an updated sequel to Bekoff 's popular book The Emotional Lives of Animals and a call to begin the important work of "rewilding" ourselves and changing the way we treat other animals.
