Jennifer Ashton

ABC's chief medical correspondent helps you ring in the New Year right with a resolution that's actually doable: a year-long plan to improve your emotional and physical health--from giving up alcohol to doing a digital detox, but each for only one month. Dr. Jennifer Ashton is at the top of her field as an ob-gyn and news correspondent. But even at the top there's still room to improve, and with The Self-Care Solution, she upends her life one month at a time, using her own experiences to help you improve your health and enhance your life. Dr. Ashton becomes both researcher and subject as she focuses on twelve separate challenges. Beginning with a new area of focus each month, she guides you through the struggles she faces, the benefits she experiences, and the science behind why each month's challenge--giving up alcohol, doing more push-ups, adopting an earlier bedtime, limiting technology--can lead to better health. Month by month, Dr. Ashton tackles a different area of wellness with the hope that the lessons she learns and the improved health she experiences will motivate her (and you) to make each change permanent. Throughout, she offers easy-to-comprehend health information about the particular challenge to help you understand its benefits and to stick with it. Whether it's adding cardio or learning how to meditate, Dr. Ashton makes these daily lifestyle choices and changes feel possible--and shows how beneficial a mindful lifestyle can be. Inspiring, practical, and informative, illustrated with helpful photos and charts, The Self-Care Solution teaches you how to recalibrate your life to enjoy a better, healthier year, one month at a time. Featuring guidance from top experts, entertaining case studies, easy-to-follow advice and tips, and Dr. Ashton's observations and insights, this book can help you achieve a better life balance and a more active and healthy lifestyle.

A Year of Becoming Happier, Healthier, and Fitter--One Month at a Time

The Self-Care Solution

From the chief medical correspondent of ABC News, an eloquent, heartbreaking, yet hopeful memoir of surviving the suicide of a loved one, examining this dangerous epidemic and offering first-hand knowledge and advice to help family and friends find peace. Jennifer Ashton, M.D., has witnessed firsthand the impact of a loved one's suicide. When her ex-husband killed himself soon after their divorce, her world--and that of her children--was shattered. Though she held a very public position with one of the world's largest media companies, she was hesitant to speak about the personal trauma that she and her family experienced following his death. A woman who addresses the public regularly on intimate health topics, she was uncertain of revealing her devastating loss--the most painful thing she'd ever experienced. But with the high-profile suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, Dr. Ashton recognized the importance of talking about her experience and the power of giving voice to her grief. She shared her story with her Good Morning America family on air--an honest, heartbreaking revelation that provided comfort and solace to others, like her and her family, who have been left behind. In Life After Suicide, she opens up completely for the first time, hoping that her experience and words can inspire those faced with the unthinkable to persevere. Part memoir and part comforting guide that incorporates the latest insights from researchers and health professionals, Life After Suicide is both a call to arms against this dangerous, devastating epidemic, and an affecting story of personal grief and loss. In addition, Dr. Ashton includes stories from others who have survived the death of a loved one by their own hand, showing how they survived the unthinkable and demonstrating the vital roles that conversation and community play in recovering from the suicide of a loved one. The end result is a raw and revealing exploration of a subject that's been taboo for far too long, providing support, information, and comfort for those attempting to make sense of their loss and find a way to heal.

Finding Courage, Comfort & Community After Unthinkable Loss

Life After Suicide

Um suicídio ocorre a cada 40 segundos no mundo, e outras 20 tentativas ocorrem para cada caso, diz a Organização Mundial da Saúde. Dos números totais de mortos, 90% dos casos poderiam ter sido evitados. O suicídio é um fenômeno devastador que afeta milhões de pessoas. É relatado em todas as faixas etárias e representa hoje a segunda causa de mortes entre adolescentes e adultos jovens dos 15 aos 29 anos. É um mal silencioso e ao mesmo tempo um trauma pessoal de difícil abordagem, pois o tabu social, o preconceito e a falta de conhecimento sobre o suicídio, e também a depressão, ainda afastam o assunto de nossos pensamentos, conversas e debates em busca de medidas preventivas e educacionais. Jennifer Ashton, a autora, é médica, mãe e testemunha em primeira mão do impacto do suicídio de um ente querido. Quando seu ex-marido Rob, pai dos seus 2 filhos, se matou em fevereiro de 2017, logo após o divórcio, seu mundo e de toda sua família foram destruídos. Neste livro emocionante sobre a perda pessoal e as etapas da sua recuperação, a Dra. Ashton faz uso da coletividade e do diálogo para elucidar o processo do luto e encontrar a paz após o suicídio. A obra é tanto um livro de memórias quanto um guia prático para ajudar outras pessoas durante uma tragédia parecida. "VIDA APÓS SUICÍDIO" é um olhar honesto e perspicaz de como lidar com a perda de um ente querido e sobre como encontrar a coragem para seguir depois de uma perda inconcebível. O relato de Ashton é uma janela para um mundo o qual todos nós precisamos começar a conhecer, sem vergonha, estigma ou preconceito.

Encontrando coragem, conforto e acolhimento após a perda de uma pessoa querida

Vida Após Suicídio

The extent to which American poetry reinvented itself after World War II is a testament to the changing social, political and economic landscape of twentieth-century American life. Registering an important shift in the way scholars contextualize modern and contemporary American literature, this Companion explores how American poetry has documented and, at times, helped propel the literary and cultural revolutions of the past sixty-five years. This Companion sheds new light on the Beat, Black Arts and other movements while examining institutions that govern poetic practice in the United States today. The text also introduces seminal figures like Sylvia Plath, John Ashbery and Gwendolyn Brooks while situating them alongside phenomena such as the 'academic poet' and popular forms such as spoken word and rap, revealing the breadth of their shared history. Students, scholars and readers will find this Companion an indispensable guide to post-war and late twentieth-century American poetry.
