Despite the fact that use of antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs is skyrocketing, we are not seeing their golden promises being fulfilled. These "Band-Aid" prescriptions do not treat the root of the problem from which so many people suffer. Fortunately, our understanding of mental illness has exploded in the last decade. Due to our improved understanding of how the brain, body, and environment interact, we are finally identifying practices that effectively alleviate anxiety and depression. Based on this new research and success stories gathered from one bestselling author in collaboration with two committed practitioners, this book describes effective techniques to help you beat anxiety and depression and achieve a life you love living.

The car-only approach in transportation planning and engineering has led to the construction of roadways that have torn apart and devalued communities, especially Black and Brown communities. Forging a new path and working to repair this damage requires a community solutions-based approach to planning, designing, and building our roadways. In Roadways for People, Lynn Peterson draws from her personal experience and conversations with leaders in the field to showcase new possibilities within transportation engineering and planning. The community solutions-based approach moves away from the narrow standards of traditional transportation projects and focuses instead on a process that involves consistent feedback, learning loops, and meaningful and regular community engagement. Roadways for People is written to empower professionals and policymakers to create transportation solutions that serve people rather than cars.
