Victor Technology High Rise™ Acacia Wood Laptop Standing Desk with Two Worksurface Trays DC175A

Victortech.com

We got a chance to review the new High Rise Acacia Wood Laptop Standing Desk from Victor Technology. We’ve reviewed their products in the past and actually love the electronic standing desk that I use in my office over the last year. This desk is a bit of departure from your usual electronic standing desks but the application for it makes sense. Its a bit odd to put together but after done it makes sense and is very sturdy. According to their details it is mostly targeted to “college and high school students, employees working from home, or anyone with a small office setup.” For that application it does work well and its technically portable and fairly easy to move. Personally I’m not a fan of it and would much rather have a electronic desk but for price points and given the target market its a good value. One downside is you need to have plenty of space on a normal desk or other that you might stand this on as it does take up a lot of space. Definitely recommend if you are in its demographic target but I would encourage you to spend up and get one of Victors electric standing desks if you can afford it.

The DC175A is great for college and high school students, employees working from home, or anyone with a small office setup looking to integrate a standing desk solution into their environment. Each desk features unique distinctive grain styling. This 4-piece standing desk brings a simplistic and minimalist design, with a modern look into your home or office. Assembles and disassembles in less than 60 seconds. Does require use of screwdriver to attach tension strap for increased stability. The DC175A is easily transportable.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work by Robert H. Frank

Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work by Robert H. Frank

From New York Times bestselling author and economics columnist Robert Frank, bold new ideas for creating environments that promise a brighter future

Psychologists have long understood that social environments profoundly shape our behavior, sometimes for the better, often for the worse. But social influence is a two-way street―our environments are themselves products of our behavior. Under the Influence explains how to unlock the latent power of social context. It reveals how our environments encourage smoking, bullying, tax cheating, sexual predation, problem drinking, and wasteful energy use. We are building bigger houses, driving heavier cars, and engaging in a host of other activities that threaten the planet―mainly because that’s what friends and neighbors do.

In the wake of the hottest years on record, only robust measures to curb greenhouse gases promise relief from more frequent and intense storms, droughts, flooding, wildfires, and famines. Robert Frank describes how the strongest predictor of our willingness to support climate-friendly policies, install solar panels, or buy an electric car is the number of people we know who have already done so. In the face of stakes that could not be higher, the book explains how we could redirect trillions of dollars annually in support of carbon-free energy sources, all without requiring painful sacrifices from anyone.

Most of us would agree that we need to take responsibility for our own choices, but with more supportive social environments, each of us is more likely to make choices that benefit everyone. Under the Influence shows how.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Chronic: The Hidden Cause of the Autoimmune Epidemic and How to Get Healthy Again by Steven Phillips, Dana Parish

Chronic: The Hidden Cause of the Autoimmune Epidemic and How to Get Healthy Again by Steven Phillips, Dana Parish

“A powerfully informative guide for patient and practitioner from a misinformed past toward a future of recovery and health.”
—David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Grain Brain and Brain Wash

In this important and timely book, Steven Phillips, MD, and his former patient, Sony singer-songwriter Dana Parish, reveal striking evidence that a range of common infections, from COVID-19 to Lyme, cause a variety of autoimmune, psychiatric, and chronic conditions. Chronic explores the science behind what makes them difficult to diagnose and treat, debunks widely held beliefs, and provides solutions that empower sufferers to reclaim their lives.

After nearly dying from his own mystery illness, Dr. Phillips experienced firsthand the medical community’s ignorance about the pathogens that underlie a deep spectrum of serious conditions—from fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, to depression, anxiety, OCD and neurodegenerative disorders. Parish, too, watched her health spiral after twelve top doctors missed the underlying infections that caused heart failure and other sudden debilitating symptoms. Now, they’ve come together with a mission: to change the current model of simply treating symptoms and shift the focus to finding and curing root causes of chronic diseases that affect millions around the world.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense by Gad Saad

The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense by Gad Saad

“Read this book, strengthen your resolve, and help us all return to reason.” —JORDAN PETERSON

*USA TODAY NATIONAL BESTSELLER*

There’s a war against truth… and if we don’t win it, intellectual freedom will be a casualty.

The West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism has never been more seriously threatened than it is today by the stifling forces of political correctness.

Dr. Gad Saad, the host of the enormously popular YouTube show THE SAAD TRUTH, exposes the bad ideas—what he calls “idea pathogens”—that are killing common sense and rational debate. Incubated in our universities and spread through the tyranny of political correctness, these ideas are endangering our most basic freedoms—including freedom of thought and speech.

The danger is grave, but as Dr. Saad shows, politically correct dogma is riddled with logical fallacies. We have powerful
weapons to fight back with—if we have the courage to use them.

A provocative guide to defending reason and intellectual freedom and a battle cry for the preservation of our fundamental rights, The Parasitic Mind will be the most controversial and talked-about book of the year.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Shakey’s Madness: Does a Mental Disorder Reveal the “Real” William Shakespeare? by Robert P Boog

Shakey’s Madness: Does a Mental Disorder Reveal the “Real” William Shakespeare? by Robert P Boog

Have you always been fascinated by history – even just a little bit? If you have, odds are you’ll be delighted by this gem of a book. You won’t be getting the popular story of how William Shakespeare’s name is on the plays, poems, and sonnets, so why doubt him? Instead, using a unique, and original approach, author Robert Boog points out the glaring errors. For example, if the man from Stratford-upon-Avon was the “real” author, when why the fainting, insomnia, despair, depression, and suicidal thoughts found in the Shakespeare canon?

Boog points out that these things are symptoms of Bipolar II Affective Disorder (pronounced “Bipolar Two Affective Disorder) and Shakey’s Madness explains how these symptoms can only be found in 2.6% of today’s population, so this percentage may have been even smaller during the Elizabethan era. Bipolar symptoms fit only one person living during the time of Queen Elizabeth. Who? Read Shakey’s Madness to discover: does a mental disorder reveal the “real” William Shakespeare?

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging, and Increase Energy with the Master Antioxidant by Nayan Patel PharmD

The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging, and Increase Energy with the Master Antioxidant by Nayan Patel PharmD

Ward off life-threatening disease and symptoms of aging with this guide to boosting your levels of glutathione (GSH), the “master antioxidant.”

The body has a remarkable ability to ward off disease and heal itself–and it does it with the help of the most important antioxidant you’ve never heard of: glutathione (GSH), the “master antioxidant.” This indispensable molecule–which we make ourselves–holds the key to immunity, vitality, and lifelong health, helping to flush out toxins, fight DNA-damaging free radicals, and rebuild other essential antioxidants like Vitamins C and E. It’s been linked to longevity in centenarians, and it protects against diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. It plays a role in lesser ailments too: low glutathione levels could be the culprit behind your fatigue, aches, and pains.

At the forefront of the latest GSH research, Dr. Nayan Patel shares all the information you need to boost your glutathione levels, revitalize your body, and transform your life with this naturally-occurring super antioxidant. In The Glutathione Revolution, he addresses the most important questions about GSH: What exactly is glutathione? What happens when your GSH levels are low? What diseases does GSH ward off? How can you naturally increase the amount of GSH your cells produce? What foods should you eat–and not eat? What are the safest and most effective GSH supplements?

With a wealth of practical information and three easy, accessible action plans that you can tailor to your own life and health concerns, you too can harness the power of glutathione.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – The Future You: How Artificial Intelligence Can Help You Get Healthier, Stress Less, and Live Longer by Harry Glorikian

The Future You: How Artificial Intelligence Can Help You Get Healthier, Stress Less, and Live Longer by Harry Glorikian

“AI is all around us. Self-driving cars. Smart personal assistants-think Siri, Cortana, or Google Now-or Alexa, Amazon’s cloud-based voice service that is available on literally hundreds of millions of devices. Voice-to-text. Manufacturing robots. Facial recognition software. Security surveillance. Automated financial investing and social media monitoring. Smart homes that control themselves when their owners are out of town. The list is endless.

“All of the above make life easier for us. But in this new book by Moneyball Medicine author/podcaster Harry Glorikian, the spotlight is on how AI can (and will, and in many cases already does) make us healthier.”

-from the Foreword to The Future You by Dr. Bob Arnot

Do you have a smartphone and a wearable device, such as an Apple Watch or a Fitbit? Most likely yes, right? Well, then, as Glorikian tells us, there are already numerous apps available for download that ” … can also continuously monitor temperature, calorie intake, blood glucose, menstruation cycle, respiration rate, stress levels, brain waves, or just about any other aspect of physical and mental health you want.” They identify areas where improvement is needed, and tell us how to improve our health in those areas.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Supercharge Your Brain: How to Maintain a Healthy Brain Throughout Your Life by James Goodwin

Supercharge Your Brain: How to Maintain a Healthy Brain Throughout Your Life by James Goodwin

‘A remarkable book, which turns cutting-edge science into simple strategies for a healthier life that all of us should use.’ – Phillip Polakoff

———————————————–

The definitive guide to keeping your brain healthy for a long and lucid life, by one of the world’s leading scientists in the field of brain health and ageing.

The brain is our most vital and complex organ. It controls and coordinates our actions, thoughts and interactions with the world around us. It is the source of personality, of our sense of self, and it shapes every aspect of our human experience.

Yet most of us know precious little about how our brains actually work, or what we can do to optimise their performance. Whilst cognitive decline is the biggest long-term health worry for many of us, practical knowledge of how to look after our brain is thin on the ground.

In this ground-breaking new book, leading expert Professor James Goodwin explains how simple strategies concerning exercise, diet, social life and sleep can transform your brain health paradigm, and shows how you can keep your brain youthful and stay sharp across your life. Combining the latest scientific research with insightful storytelling and practical advice, Supercharge Your Brain reveals everything you need to know about how your brain functions, and what you can do to keep it in peak condition.
