Peter Baker Bücher

Co-authored by the Chief White House correspondent at The New York Times and the Washington columnist at The New Yorker, this biography chronicles the life of James A. Baker III, a pivotal figure in American politics who shaped the landscape of Washington during the latter half of the twentieth century. No Republican presidential candidate succeeded without his influence, as he advised key figures like Gerald R. Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush, all of whom left a lasting mark on American life. Baker's career spanned various roles, including campaign manager, chief of staff, treasury secretary, and secretary of state, showcasing his unparalleled understanding of power dynamics both domestically and internationally. A Texas Democrat turned Republican, Baker transitioned from a successful Houston lawyer to a political powerhouse, securing Ford's nomination in 1976 and later managing Bush's campaign, which led to his appointment as White House chief of staff. His tenure was characterized by pragmatism and deal-making, resulting in significant achievements such as tax reform, the first Middle East peace negotiations, and navigating the dissolution of the Soviet Union. His final notable moment was during the Florida recount, which had lasting implications for the nation. In an era of political gridlock, this biography offers a compelling exploration of a master strategist.

Diets are failing on a massive scale. Many have tried popular options like Atkins, South Beach, and others, often losing weight temporarily but struggling to maintain that loss. In fact, while six out of seven overweight individuals manage to lose weight at some point, 85-95% will ultimately fail to keep it off long-term. Alarmingly, one-third to two-thirds of these individuals may regain even more weight than they initially lost. This cycle can lead to "yo-yo dieting," detrimental to both mental and physical health. While advice on losing weight and avoiding this cycle is abundant, practical guidance on achieving lasting results is often lacking. What sets this book apart is its exploration of why diets fail, addressing physiological, psychological, and sociological factors that contribute to these challenges. It also outlines essential behaviors, methods, and traits necessary for successful weight loss and maintenance. This book is designed for anyone eager to shed pounds and keep them off, particularly those frustrated by repeated failures with popular diets. There is still hope, and we invite you to explore these pages for guidance on your journey.
