Book Synopsis'A powerful, poignant tale of dieting and despair.' The Times'A moving, brutally honest memoir about what it feels like to be fat-shamed.' Mail on Sunday_______________At sixty-four, Jenni Murray's weight had become a disability. She avoided the scales, she wore a uniform of baggy black clothes, refused to make connections between her weight and health issues and told herself that she was fat and happy. She was certainly fat. But the happy part was an Oscar-worthy performance. In private she lived with a growing sense of fear and misery that her weight would probably kill her before she made it to seventy. Interwoven with the science, social history and psychology of weight management, Fat Cow, Fat Chance is a refreshingly honest account of what it's like to be fat when society dictates that skinny is the norm. It asks why we overeat and why, when the weight is finally lost through dieting, do we simply pile the pounds back on again? How do we help young people become comfortable with the way they look? What are the consequences of the obesity epidemic for an already overstretched NHS? And, whilst fat shaming is so often called out, why is it that shouting 'fat cow' at a woman in the street hasn't been included in the list of hate crimes?Fusing politics, science and personal pain, this is a powerful exploration of our battle with obesity._______________'Agony and confusion, humour and hope. A beautiful book.' Susie Orbach, author of Fat is a Feminist Issue'A perceptive look at health and happiness.' Sunday ExpressTrade ReviewA powerful, poignant tale of dieting and despair. * The Times *I'd put this book into every school as a warning to girls - and boys - not to waste their lives obsessing over food. * Mail on Sunday *A perceptive look at health and happiness. * Sunday Express *Jenni has a light touch when writing about hers and others struggles with eating and bodies. She does it too with the science, so that agony and confusion is mixed with humour and hope.

The beginning of the 20th century heralded a scientific revolution: what a few brilliant minds uncovered about our reality in the first twenty years has shaped the history of our species. And one of them in particular stands out: Einstein, with his celebrated E=mc2.In this remarkable and insightful book, Christophe Galfard describes how E=mc2 is a direct consequence of the Theory of Special Relativity, the theory of how objects move and behave, at speeds close to the speed of light. He considers Einstein's legacy in the light of the 21st century, with fresh hindsight, and considers its impact on our vision of reality. The reader will discover that far from being just a formula, it is a brand new understanding of the nature of space and time.Some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in the history of science have been made by geniuses who managed to merge and unite hitherto separated domains of knowledge. Galfard explores two unifications with Einstein's theories, and looks at the even bigger picture of how E=mc2 has changed our world, and what it entails for the future.Throughout, Galfard takes the reader on an extremely entertaining journey, using simple, jargon-free language to help the reader gain a deeper understanding of science. With humour and patience, he guides us through the world of particles, anti-matter and much more to bring us closer to an ultimate understanding of reality as we understand it today.Trade ReviewIn our relentless pursuit of a fulfilled life, we've become a knowledge-hungry nation.

Book SynopsisHuman beings everywhere, in every culture and on every continent in the world over, experience shame in exactly the same way: gaze aversion, brief mental confusion, and a longing to disappear, usually accompanied by blushing of the face, neck, or chest. What scientists understand and believe about shame differs broadly from the way a layperson conceives of it. Most people tend to view shame as something big and bad, a toxic emotion we hope never to feel. In contrast researchers who study the emotions, conceive of shame as more varied in nature and not always so imposing. This book will introduce you to the entire shame family of emotions (including embarrassment, guilt, and self-consciousness), which are unavoidable aspects of everyday life and not always toxic. Richly illustrated with clinical stories from Burgo's 35 years in private practice Shameis an intimate look at the full spectrum of shame-often masked by addiction, promiscuity, perfectionism, self-loathing, or narcissism-that offers a new, positive route forward. Burgo argues that listening and learning from our encouters with shame will go further than affirmations and positive self-talk in helping us to build authentic self-esteem. His is a deeply empowering message, and one that brings hope and results.

Book SynopsisOffering a new take on the psychology of human sexuality, Sexpositive integrates modern day themes such as technology and the use of social media with self-help. This is the book that millennial's will turn to in order to rewrite the story of their love lives. THE DIGITAL AGE IS USHERING IN A SEX POSITIVE REVOLUTION Millennial disrupter Dr Kelly Neff believes radical change is underway in our love and sex lives. Fuelled by developing technology and shifting cultural beliefs, the Sex Positive movement is a social, political and philosophical wave that promotes and embraces sexuality and sexual expression, with an emphasis on safety and consent. In this ground-breaking study of modern sexuality, Dr Kelly Neff explores this new cultural movement and examines LGBTQI issues, #MeToo, female orgasm, the rise of non-monogamous relationships and robotic sex partners, among many other contentious topics emerging as part of the ongoing social and political shifts surrounding sex, love and identity. "Redefining sex and love as a constructive, harmonizing experience comprises a crucial part of how we move forward as a human collective... It's not a movement solely for women, but one that can apply to all genders and lifestyles. Being sex positive is inherently inclusive, and this is the tone that I take in this book."Trade Review"Sex Positive takes much of the guesswork and uncertainty out of understanding the new challenges of social and sexual relationships."- California Bookwatch"An exiting and insightful look into the landscape of modern sex and sexuality."- Grazia"Dr. Kelly Neff holds a daunting charge: to refute centuries of religious, political, social and cultural teachings...

Book SynopsisA darkly comic and moving reflection on what it means to be human in a world where nothing is certain, from the award-winning Oxford professor'The best book about multiple sclerosis'THE TIMES'An outstanding feat'SUNDAY TIMESWe all have trapdoors in our lives. Sometimes we jump off just in time ... But sometimes we are unlucky. My own trapdoor was hidden in the consulting room of an Oxford neurologist.When the trapdoor opened for Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, he plummeted into a world of MRI scans, a disobedient body and the crushing unpredictability of a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. But, like Alice tumbling into Wonderland, his fall did something else. It took him deep into his own mind: his hopes, his fears, his loves and losses, and the books that would sustain, inform and nourish him as his life began to transform in ways he could never have imagined.From Kafka to Barbellion, this is a literary map of the journey from the kingdom of the well to the land of the sick, and forwards into a hopeful future. It's an ode to great writing, to storytelling, to science and to the power of the imagination.Trade ReviewMetamorphosis is the best book I have read about multiple sclerosis, and that is because it is about so much more...

Book SynopsisThis deck of cards is a resource to help professionals, parents and anyone working with autistic young people to have discussions about an Autism diagnosis in a personalised, positive and meaningful way.The beautifully designed cards each show a strength - such as being inquisitive or honest - or a challenge - such as sensory difficulties or understanding emotions. The pack also includes reusable blank cards which can be personalised.The accompanying booklet provides approaches and strategies developed by Dr Dura-Vila in her clinical practice. She also shares her personal (and occasionally humorous) experiences, including tips for discussing an autism diagnosis. These accounts within inspire readers to give their best to any young person when sharing an autism diagnosis, and in the conversations that follow.Trade ReviewHow can something so simple be so brilliant? For years, one way to describe the diagnosis of autism was to liken it to a bagful of strengths and challenges. Each person reaches into the bag and grabs a handful that are unique to themselves. Gloria Dura Vila has created such a 'bag'. Her insightful cards, beautifully and sensitively illustrated by Rebecca Tatternorth make diagnosing and understanding the uniqueness of autism a pleasure. -- Kathy Hoopmann, author of All Cats are on the Autism SpectrumGloria has created a truly wonderful resource which will support so many practitioners and parents as they introduce autism to autistic young people and others. The strategies and approaches outlined in the accompanying booklet, presented with Gloria's humour and passion, ensure that young people are supported to understand and value themselves as an individual. I can't wait to use these cards with my students. -- Clare Truman, teacher and education consultant supporting autistic students, author of The Teacher's Introduction to Pathological Demand AvoidanceNo more nerves and clumsy conversations. The Amazing Autistic Brain Cards are a must-have resource for anyone involved in sharing and discussing an autism spectrum diagnosis with children and young people. Rather than giving a one-size-fits-all description of autism, I love that these beautifully simple cards can be used to tailor-make a portrait of autism that suits the child and celebrates their individuality. Dr Glòria Durà-Vilà leads the way by reflecting on her extensive experience as a clinician, offering insight and guidance that I am certain will empower and equip parents and practitioners alike with the confidence to have positive conversations with children about their autism. I especially like that the cards can be adapted and revisited over time to accompany a child's own developing sense of self. This is a wonderful resource that will ultimately be of huge benefit to children and young people as they learn about themselves and what it means to be autistic...and amazing. -- Elaine Brownless, specialist autism liaison teacher and author of The Autism DetectiveIn addition to being an invaluable tool for professionals, Gloria's wonderfully empowering cards are a fabulous hands-on way for young people to build self-awareness, facilitate discussion and enable self-advocacy, creating a balanced and unique 'this is me' profile for themselves and others. -- Reuben Hoole (13 year old autistic boy) and his mother, Vikki ThrelfallGloria has found a very practical and effective way to explain strengths and challenges to a population of young people when diagnosed with Autism. Using her humour and passion she touches all the key points so vital for young people and their parents, not only to understand, but also empower themselves in life choices. Brilliant! -- Dr S Marco Mura, NHS Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Surrey and Border NHS TrustThese cards have the potential to fundamentally change the experience of talking and learning about Autism and neurodiversity for the better. It is exciting to have such a simple and effective tool which could transform discussions at the critical point of diagnosis. They will be equally useful for any broader explorations in different settings and for lots of different purposes. Genius! -- Sally Russell OBE FRSA, Chair of the PDA Society

Book Synopsis'TIMELY' David Mitchell 'MOVING ... REMARKABLE' SUNDAY TIMES 'ONE OF THOSE RARE BOOKS I HADN'T REASLISED I'D BEEN WAITING FOR UNTIL I READ IT.' Owen Sheers 'OPEN-MINDED, THOUGHTFUL AND WISE... A LIBERATING BOOK' Colm Toibin In an age of polished TED talks and overconfident political oratory, success seems to depend upon charismatic public speaking. But what if hyper-fluency is not only unachievable but undesirable? Jonty Claypole spent fifteen years of his life in and out of extreme speech therapy. From sessions with child psychologists to lengthy stuttering boot camps and exposure therapies, he tried everything until finally being told the words he'd always feared: 'We can't cure your stutter.' Those words started him on a journey towards not only making peace with his stammer but learning to use it to his advantage. Here, Jonty argues that our obsession with fluency could be hindering, rather than helping, our creativity, authenticity and persuasiveness. Exploring other speech conditions, such as aphasia and Tourette's, and telling the stories of the 'creatively disfluent' - from Lewis Carroll to Kendrick Lamar - Jonty explains why it's time for us to stop making sense, get tongue tied and embrace the life-changing power of inarticulacy.Trade ReviewA moving study of stuttering...remarkable -- Helen Davies * Sunday Times *Words Fail Us is a deep dive into disfluency, exploring its history, its science, its politics and its profile in a fluency-obsessed world. Jonty Claypole's book is timely, thoughtful, rich in fact and personal anecdote, and looks to a more enlightened, speech-diverse future. -- David MitchellComprehensive, open-minded, thoughtful and wise ... a liberating book. -- Colm ToibinWords Fail Us is one of those rare books - a piece of writing and thinking I hadn't realised I'd been waiting for until I read it. In this thoughtful and moving exploration of disfluency Jonty Claypole has written both a wonderfully engaging study on the history, causes and societal perceptions of speech disorders and an acutely argued call to arms, not just for the wider acceptance of communication diversity but also for an embracing of the creativity and originality of thought it can inspire. -- Owen SheersHumane, thought-provoking, and rich in experiential detail. * Guardian *I would recommend [Words Fail Us] to any fluent person trying to understand the tribulations of disfluency, and to any disfluent person who feels that he or she is enduring them alone ... Kendrick Lamar, Lewis Carroll, Somerset Maugham and Henry James are just a few of the writers whose stammers Claypole believes enriched their work. In Words Fail Us he has given us another instance of this fine tradition. * The Times *Claypole, who has a stutter, argues that pathological "disfluencies" should instead be understood and - the more radical claim - celebrated. Claypole thinks it is no coincidence that some of the greatest verbal artists - Henry James, Kendrick Lamar - have struggled with speech. The book doubles as a polemic against fluency: by unlearning our reflexive reverence for it, we can appreciate our disfluencies, and the "diversity and innovation they bring to human thought and language". * New Statesman *Incredibly valuable, and a noteworthy addition to the bookshelves of any speech-language pathologist, graduate student, researcher, or human being who would like to broaden their perspective of the power of the full spectrum of language. * Journal of Fluency Disorders *

Book SynopsisAs heard on BBC Radio 4 and RTE Radio 1 A WATERSTONES BEST FOOD AND DRINK BOOK OF 2022 'An easy read mixture of wit and wisdom ... should be read by all who drink more than the limit' Prof David Nutt, author of Drink? The New Science of Alcohol and Your Health The popular broadcaster and columnist sets out to discover the unsung pleasures of drinking in moderation. The recommended alcohol limit is 14 units a week. Adrian Chiles used to put away almost 100. Ever since he was a teenager, drinking was his idea of a good time - and not just his, but seemingly the whole nation's. Still, it wasn't very good for him: the doctor made that clear. If you lined them up, Adrian must have knocked back three miles of drinks. How many of them had he genuinely wanted? A mile? There's an awful lot of advice out there on how to quit booze completely. If you just want to drink a bit less, the pickings are slim. Yet while the alcohol industry depends on a minority of problem drinkers, the majority really do enjoy in moderation. What's their secret? Join the inimitable Chiles as he sets out around Britain and plumbs his only slightly fuzzy memories of a lifetime in pubs in a quest to find the good drinker within.Trade ReviewLikeable and highly readable ... comic and insightful * Observer *Honest, funny and full of strategies on how to moderate your drinking, Chiles is genuinely passionate about his pints and the need to enjoy them without ever coming across as preachy - a fine line many have failed to tread ... sage ... funny and touching * Independent *A fascinating read * Irish Times *An easy read mixture of wit and wisdom ... should be read by all who drink more than the limit -- Prof David Nutt, author * Drink?

Sitting alongside his propensity to admit his ignorance is an attractive willingness to listen to anyone, of any age or social station, who might tell him something meaningful ... This is why Adrian Chiles is beautiful * Gawker *The UK's only good columnist * TRASHFUTURE *

Book SynopsisWINNER: Business Book Awards 2022 - Leadership Your biggest asset in leadership is you. How can you expect people to trust and believe in you, if you aren't truthful and don't embrace your whole self at work? There is a need for a new kind of leadership; one that bleeds personality and rings true to employees and customers alike who crave authenticity. You Lead argues that business leaders deliver superior results, communities of engagement both inside and outside of the company and true values-driven success when they are themselves and come across as genuine. Bestselling author, Minter Dial, shows readers how embracing your whole self at work encourages people to also be themselves, seek true fulfilment at work and merge the personal and professional to become true examples of what you stand for. You Lead is a call to arms to leaders to stop pretending to be who they are not, and play on their uniqueness and strengths, to allow people to do the same and develop a culture of authenticity and purpose. With practical advice, real-life stories and a simple framework, this book shows you how you can: - Be yourself, lead by example and merge the professional and personal - Stand for something and allow people to develop true purpose at work - Allow a community to flourish through the right kind of governance model - Radiate your purpose through employees and customers alike for long-term performanceTrade Review"In You Lead, Minter Dial has written a refreshingly original and necessary book on leadership. By helping leaders be themselves - and better versions of themselves, at that - this form of new leadership will help drive not just better engagement, performance and business results; it will also help toward improving another important issue which is mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. A must-read." * Suki Thompson, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Let’s Reset, Executive Director, Xeim and Chair, Oystercatchers *"You Lead is a STOP PRESS MUST-READ. As Minter Dial points out, the great leaders of tomorrow will be those who know how to be themselves consistently throughout the day, whether it's with the cashier at the local grocer, one's spouse, friend, client, distributor or colleague. You Lead draws out a practical way to be such a leader all the while keenly delivering on results. You Lead is a complete leadership guide." * Nicolas Bordas, Vice-President International, TBWA/Worldwide and Board Member, OMNICOM Europe *"A great read, a real guide for evolving your leadership skills and style using proven strategies while incorporating the new realities of today's rapidly changing business environment. Especially helpful in understanding the impact of the digital revolution and how to master those skills as part of the You Lead philosophy. I highly recommend this to leaders both seasoned and those developing leaders of tomorrow!" * Pat Parenty, Former President, L’Oréal Professional Products Division USA *"I met Minter Dial over a decade ago, during his time at L'Oréal. Over the years, I have met thousands of executives. I've only maintained a friendship with a small few. Minter is one of the few. This book explains why. He is a leader - through and through. Mostly, because he leads himself with excellence. He has humility, courage, a deep sense of empathy for himself, his team members and the customer. Most importantly, he is curious. These are just some of the ingredients that make him great. Those are just some of the ingredients in his excellent new book, You Lead, that will make you great. Times are crazy. They are going to get crazier. You lead!" * Mitch Joel, author of Six Pixels of Separation and CTRL ALT Delete *"Minter Dial brings his considerable professional experience and personal skills to delineate the core principles of management. Excellent counsel as to how to move from intention to execution. A worthy read." * Alan Trefler, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Pegasystems *"Shakespeare said: to be or not to be, that is the question. Gordon Summer (Sting) answered him a few centuries later: 'Be yourself, no matter what they say'. Minter Dial is an overarching combination between Shakespeare and Sting, a writer and a musician. And you should read that book for sure, AND listen to that book also, one of the most practical and musical I have had in my hands for a decade." * Laurent Choain, Chief of People Education and Culture, Mazars Group *"What am I doing that matters? The answer lies within according to Minter Dial in this inspirational book." * Mark Schaefer, author of Marketing Rebellion *"A thoughtful, honest and well-researched reminder of how important it is to be yourself in business. Both customers and employees gravitate towards those who feel genuine passion about their brand, because it really does show. As Minter Dial says; it is in every business leader's interests to focus on making the world around you a better place, rather than simply thinking about making yourself better off. I couldn't have put it better myself." * Anne Boden, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Starling Bank *"If Peter Thiel wrote Zero to One for entrepreneurs, Minter Dial has written the Zero to One for leaders. In You Lead, Minter makes a most compelling case for why we should bring our entire selves to work, lead from within and do things that matter." * Sophie Devonshire, author of Superfast and Chief Executive Officer, The Marketing Society *"When we radiate our passions to the world, the relationship we build with our customers becomes more important than the products and services we sell them. You will find these and other often surprising ideas in this little book of big ideas where Minter Dial shares the essence of how to lead both small and large organizations." * David Meerman Scott, WSJ bestselling author of Fanocracy *"Lead is a better verb than it is a noun. Minter Dial's book gives you an actionable blueprint for a new way of looking at leading, starting with yourself." * Ann Handley, WSJ bestselling author and Chief Content Officer, MarketingProfs *"In You Lead, Minter Dial adroitly pulls together how you can bring your full self to work and deliver on results." * Charlene Li, New York Times bestselling author of The Disruption Mindset and Senior Analyst, Altimeter *"The specific, intertwined skills, behaviours and talents to become a more successful leader are described as actionable insights in this idea-packed book to support us in our work. They include apt use of technology, messaging, speed learning, customer-centricity and considerably more. Clearly this author has first-hand knowledge of what he advocates, making it a credible, valuable read." * Kare Anderson, TED speaker and author *"It's about time this book was written. In You Lead, Minter Dial vividly captures a dynamic change in today's society - that our business, government, and educational leaders need to stand up for doing what is right before it becomes an issue. That to be a successful leader in today's world it requires courageously bringing our whole selves to the table: professionally and personally. The result is a passionate call to arms, urging all of us to get in touch with who we are so that we can lead in a way that is true to our life experiences, ethics and values. Dial's new book is undoubtedly one of the most important books written for our times.

He writes in a way that is thought-provoking and challenging. Be warned - when you read You Lead you are going to feel uncomfortable about changes you should have made already. But you'll also be inspired to rethink and adjust your approach. It's one of the few leadership books I've read that refers to the customer as much as the team and the leader themselves." * Diane Young, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, The Drum *"When someone asks you to read another leadership book mine tends to be an allergic reaction expecting another lecture on who you should be and little recognition of who you are. So when I saw the fly sheet of You Lead and read "How being yourself makes you a better leader" I was not just pleasantly surprised but intrigued. You Lead is a compelling read for those like me who believe leadership is personal and authenticity is the gateway to discovering the leader in each of us. Read it and you might just learn about yourself on your journey to leadership." * Ronan Dunne, Chief Executive Officer, Verizon Consumer Group *"You Lead by Minter Dial delivers actionable concepts and useful examples of the leadership skills you need to advance in the coming years. Study this valuable book and apply these formulas to supercharge your own leadership practice. Well worth your time!" * Chris Brogan, New York Times and WSJ bestselling author and Founder, StoryLeader™ *Table of Contents Section - PART ONE: Setting the stage: The wake-up call for a new form of leadership; Chapter - 01: It’s a rocky world; Chapter - 02: Got the right governance, Guv’nor?; Chapter - 03: Life is work, too; Section - PART TWO: Merging the personal with the professional; Chapter - 04: CHECK: Your model of leadership; Chapter - 05: Employee-first customer-centricity; Chapter - 06: Making customer-centricity come alive; Section - PART THREE: The challenges and realities of implementation: The personal journey; Chapter - 07: The art of being a leader; Chapter - 08: Leadership in practice; Chapter - 09: Connecting the dots;
