Even though today's world is a nightmare for our mental health, does modern medicine have the answer? For many patients, the answer is, "no," but there may be another way. For two thousand years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been effectively treating anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other conditions using herbal medicine and other healing modalities. In her book, Chinese Medicine for the Mind: A Science-Backed Guide to Improving Mental Health with Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nina Cheng, founder of The Eastern Philosophy Chinese Medicine Company, accompanied by a team of renowned practitioners and scholars of Chinese medicine, share practical, accessible remedies and protocols you can use to improve your mental and emotional well-being. Supported by historical primary sources and modern clinical research, Nina's book offers and intro to TCM and its unique approach to mental health. Each chapter covers a common mental health condition–anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD, brain fog, and trauma–exploring how Chinese medicine has historically approached these conditions, describing common patterns associated with unique symptoms, and prescribing specific remedies you can access in your everyday life. For anyone who has struggled with their mental health or is looking to better understand TCM's approach to healing both the mind and body, this book offers natural, time-tested solutions.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
