It's Not Just the Facts When it comes to climate change, this truly is a golden age-of fake news, post-truths, pluralistic ignorance, conspiracy theories, a willfully ignorant administration, and the Cranky Uncle. You know him. We all have one. That exasperating Thanksgiving blusterer digs in his heels even as the foundation of his denial thaws faster than the Arctic ice caps. Written and illustrated by Dr. John Cook, cognitive psychologist and founder of the award-winning website Skeptical Science, Cranky Uncle combines humor and science to make clear, calm, and winnable arguments in the public controversy of climate change. Can we change our Cranky Uncle's mind? Probably, regrettably, not. But Dr. Cook makes it easier for us to understand him. And armed with this knowledge, prevent climate misinformation from spreading further.

A verse by verse commentary on the book of Hebrews by John Cook.

'Cancer - A Strange Gift' was written as a result of my personal experience over 20 years ago. A 'blind faith' existed, and still does, in the infallible treatment of Western doctrines by doctors for their patients woes; I was dying because of this 'faith' and my ignorance of its fallibility! With a lifetime's experience spent battling various autocratic disciples of The Establishment and witnessing the extraordinary lengths they will go to, to protect their own esteem, I concluded that by writing my own story, I just might gain an entrée into the patient's world. My book establishes, via my direct contact through counselling of patients and by my being on the receiving end of the doctors' disciplines, the validity of my thinking. During my fight to prolong my life beyond the nine month oncological prediction given in September 1995, both my Eastern, and eventually, my Western doctors asked me for help in providing confidence to some of their patients. I soon discovered that I was indeed able to help, and that by reading the draft of my own encounter with doom, those with whom I came into contact gained the strength they needed to acquire positive thinking for themselves. The decision to write my story is due to my indignation of my own foolish ignorance of health at that time and the wish to help others as a result of my learning. There is the beginning of an awareness within the Bioscience world, of which I am part through my stemcell research company, that medicine as practiced now, needs to involve more patient participation with a greater case for prevention and an understanding of cause versus treatment of symptom. I believe that my encounter and story may have a part to play, to help people with both resolve and strength when facing adversity.

This book was written for people who enjoy thinking. Though vicarious, the stories become real once read, entering into the reader's memory as experience. A good story well-read thus becomes an actual experience. Personal enrichment thusly follows. Each story revolves around its central characters, complex people who are in deep conflict and are struggling, often heroically. The physical settings act as a frame for pertinent central points. By engaging with this material, the reader develops an increased inner strength. Elements of these stories include sexual dysfunction, alcoholism, prostitution, panic, dislocation, the Supernatural, angst, frustration, despair, the war in Vietnam, the life of a young man growing up in a tough Depression Era town in Washington State, the killing of a town bully and his subsequent resurrection, and the struggles of a former guerilla fighter/spook/killer's relationship with his homosexual son. These stories will broaden the intellect, increase the capacity for human emotion, and take the reader to places otherwise not encountered. The book has wings. Fly it and see where it takes you.

All of my friends have student loan debt. All of them. It's shocking and initially hopeless. Student loan debt has become the norm for many 20 to 40 somethings and the idea of living a life without the burden of Sallie Mae or the US Department of Education is laughable. Even talking about paying off student loan debt early triggers countless eyerolls and the all too common statements like "yeah but we live in _____ (insert any metro city here)" or "we don't make enough money" or "we're waiting for the government to forgive our debt". For a long time, John was part of this group: educated, motivated, dual-income households achieving economic success. Accomplished young professionals who drove nice (leased) cars, while living in major-city apartments or lofts where rent consumed 40% of one's post-tax income. Spending a lot but saving very little. John and his colleagues jokingly called this slice of society the educated but broke. It wasn't well into John's early 30s, after burning through over a million dollars of lost income while accumulating $170,000 dollars of student loan debt, did he realize that he was one of them. Seeking the wisdom of mentors who've created generational wealth, John took their advice and created a plan that enabled him to pay off over $170,000 of student loan debt in 24 months. More importantly, he realized that on the path to true wealth creation, there were 8 money lessons which need to be mastered. Educated but broke outlines both the path to student loan freedom and the 8 money lessons to true wealth creation, including: 1. Why your student loan interest is really keeping you broke2. The true cost of missed wealth creation opportunities while in debt3. The realization that FICO is the greatest scam in modern America4. Credit cards are the cigarettes of the financial services industry5. Debunking the "contribute to your retirement first" myth6. Refinancing your debt to minimize lost opportunity cost7. Accepting that the government will never forgive your debt, and what to do now8. How to turn your money into more money with a written budget
