Clean is a comprehensive guide to detoxification and cleansing, written by Dr. Alejandro Junger.

Dr. Junger provides a practical program to eliminate these toxins, including dietary changes, self-preparation, conscious eating, and elements of Ayurveda. The program is designed to be easily incorporated into a busy lifestyle and includes recipes, audio, and video content to support the detoxification process. It emphasizes the importance of allowing the body's natural detoxification systems to function optimally and offers a solution to the increasing toxicity of modern life.
In 'Can't Hurt Me,' David Goggins shares his astonishing life story, from a childhood marred by poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse to becoming a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes.

He provides a wealth of practical strategies and principles for personal development, emphasizing self-discipline, accountability, and the necessity of embracing discomfort to unlock personal transformation. Goggins' story and advice serve as a blueprint for readers to push past their perceived limits, confront their fears, and unleash their full potential.
In 'Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It,' Kamal Ravikant shares his personal journey of overcoming intense pain, depression, and personal losses by adopting a simple yet powerful practice of self-love.

Ravikant emphasizes that loving oneself is a daily practice, similar to working out or meditating, and that it requires commitment and a vow to oneself. The book is a candid and persuasive guide to achieving personal transformation through self-love[2][4][5].
