Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction finalist
Winner of the 2014 National Book Award in nonfictionAn Economist Best Book of 2014 Winner of the bronze medal for the Council on Foreign Relations' 2015 Arthur Ross Book Award A vibrant, colorful, and revelatory inner history of China during a moment of profound transformation From abroad, we often see China as a caricature: a nation of pragmatic plutocrats and ruthlessly dedicated students destined to rule the global economy-or an addled Goliath, riddled with corruption and on the edge of stagnation. What we don't see is how both powerful and ordinary people are remaking their lives as their country dramatically changes.
As the Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker, Evan Osnos was on the ground in China for years, witness to profound political, economic, and cultural upheaval. In Age of Ambition, he describes the greatest collision taking place in that country: the clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party's struggle to retain control. He asks probing questions: Why does a government with more success lifting people from poverty than any civilization in history choose to put strict restraints on freedom of expression? Why do millions of young Chinese professionals-fluent in English and devoted to Western pop culture-consider themselves angry youth, dedicated to resisting the West's influence? How are Chinese from all strata finding meaning after two decades of the relentless pursuit of wealth?
Writing with great narrative verve and a keen sense of irony, Osnos follows the moving stories of everyday people and reveals life in the new China to be a battleground between aspiration and authoritarianism, in which only one can prevail.

Instant Results
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been struggling with dry mouth for some time due to Sjorgens disease.
After trying various remedies with little success, I stumbled upon these Xylitol tabs, and I can’t believe how fast they worked.
From the first use, I noticed a significant difference. The tabs dissolve quickly and have a pleasant, refreshing flavor that instantly alleviates that uncomfortable dry feeling. Not only do they help stimulate saliva production, but they also keep my mouth feeling moist for a longer rime.
If you’re dealing with dry mouth, I highly recommend giving these Xylitol tabs a try. They're a game-changer!

Works well!
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
Nice flavor. They don’t melt real fast like the ACT I’ve been using. They are smaller than I thought and I didn’t think they would last as long as they do. Keeping my mouth/throat moist as they said. I like the way they stick to your mouth and you don’t have to worry about swolling accidentally!

Berry flavor Xylimelts are the best for dry mouth
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
Not as strong a flavor as mints. Berry flavor is the best. I take one per night. Does the job.

Terrible.
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
These do not work at all.. I used two at night and they just dissolve and my mouth is still super dry. I tried one during the day just to see and they do not help you salivate at all really. Definitely would recommend trying something else.

Xylimelts
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
"Xylimelts - I have dry mouth from what I thought was a new medication. I stopped the medication about two weeks ago and it has not improved. I am continuing to use these until I follow up with my doctor. At first I tried these using one disk and it did not seem to work. I tried them again using two and it works a lot better. So, I now use these two disks at a time. If I use them at night, they seem to last about 4 hours. If i use them during the day, they last about 30 minutes. The effects do not last all that long during the day but I do also use Act lemon lozenges. The package says that you can put them on the gums but I put them on the roof of my mouth. I have had no issues getting any of them to stick.
Flavors - At my local stores the only flavor is mint. It is way too strong. Using the mint ones would irritate my mouth after a while. Unfortunately, that seems to be the only flavor that most dry mouth products are.....mint. So my quest began to locate products that are not mint. I found these here on Amazon. They come in multiple flavors. Here is my breakdown of the flavors and my thoughts on each.
Mild mint (4*) - Better than the regular mint but still mint. It is as described and the mint is not as strong.
Slightly Sweet (5*) - Probably my favorite alternative to the mint. They are exactly as described. The have a slightly sweet flavor. It is not overwhelming.
Berry (5*) - This was a nice change. It again is a slight berry flavor. Not overpowering or overwhelming.
Cinnamon (1*) - This is probably my least favorite. The flavor was ok (it tastes like a very mild fireball) but it didn't seem to lubricate very much and after it was gone it felt like my mouth was drier than before.
Orange (4*) - It has a pleasant orange flavor.
Sensitive/unflavored - I have not tried this one yet. I probably will not. The reviews of the change in adhesive makes me leary to try it."
