JOJO MOYESThe essential manifesto for any woman staring the second half of their lives in the face and wondering, WTF is going on?* Invisible to society now you're past child-bearing age?* Tired of being disregarded, overlooked and underestimated?* Wondering what the hell is happening to your body, mind and internal thermostat?Women over forty are the most ignored demographic in society. And yet this is the time when you are likely to have the most freedom, power, confidence and self knowledge than ever before. Some serious life has been lived: there have been great loves, heartbreaks, births, marriages, careers, betrayals, bereavements and survival. So what now? What happens when the narrative given to you by society - husband, babies, house - runs out and you become storyless? Including chapters on menopause, sex, culture, work, rage and freedom, writer and journalist Sam Baker shares her experiences of life post 40 and shows how women to create their own story. This needn't herald the era of loose clothing and hair dye; or hot flashes and bad sleep (though there is that too). It's time women north of 40 took a leaf out of the millennial handbook and reinvented things our way. Sam hosts a podcast of the same name, now with over 50 thousand downloads.

[Hersey] is a revolution.' - Glennon Doyle, activist and bestselling author of Untamed, Love Warrior and Carry On, Warrior'Essential...Rest is a necessary step in reclaiming our power to resist systemic oppression.' - Ibram X. Kendi, activist, professor and bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist'This book will save lives and transform the world. - Emily Nagoski Ph.D., bestselling author of Come As You Are and Burnout'This book has honestly left me changed and rearranged.' - Afua Hirsch, bestselling author of Brit(ish)RECLAIM POWER, REST AND HEAL FROM GRIND CULTURE'May we have space to navigate our lives from a liberated rest state. May all of culture slow down. The time to rest is now.' - The Nap MinistryBy founder and creator of The Nap Ministry, Rest is Resistance is a call-to-action for anyone suffering from the toxic urgency of modern-day life. It centres around the systemic issues that cause us to overwork, and ultimately burn out, and offers us liberation through rest. In its simplest form, rest becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy. Slowing down moves us away from trying to operate at machine levels of productivity, to make us all more human.In this fierce and tender manifesto, Tricia Hersey elevates rest as a divine right, and paves the way towards a more well-rested life that empowers imagination, invention and healing. Divided into four sections, Rest is Resistance explains Tricia's philosophy and methods, and includes both storytelling and practical advice. It will offer you the guidance and context to craft a rest practice for long-term health, both within yourself and society as a whole.Rest is Resistance is not self-care: it is the urgent wake-up call you need to nap, rest and, most importantly, dream once more.Trade ReviewExtremely important and brilliant work... [Hersey] is a revolution. -- Glennon Doyle, activist and author of UNTAMED, LOVE WARRIOR and CARRY ON, WARRIORThis book will save lives and transform the world. Tricia Hersey speaks the truth about rest, a truth that begins our unraveling from the lies of white supremacy and capitalism. Gradually we refuse to live at a machine pace. We surrender to the beautiful experiment of being human. We return to our truest selves. This is a book to read again and again, slowly, savoring it sentence by sentence. I'll be giving copies to everyone I work with and everyone I love. -- Emily Nagoski Ph.D., bestselling author of COME AS YOU ARE and BURNOUTTricia Hersey whispers 'rest is a form of resistance' to me, to you, to those who think resistance is always movement. Her message is essential: Sit. Lay down. Slow down. Rest is a necessary step in reclaiming our power to resist systemic oppression. -- Ibram X. Kendi, activist, professor and author of HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST and STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING[Hersey] is an artist at heart...She approaches the notion of collective rest as a form of performance art, incorporating elements of Black liberation theology, Afrofuturism and poetry into her messaging. * The New York Times *In a culture that often seems obsessed with output, Hersey is more focused on the inner calm and self-knowledge that can come with proper rest...and on investigating who has traditionally been denied that rest and its myriad benefits. * Vogue *With Rest Is Resistance, Tricia Hersey helps us understand that rest is how we can sustain ourselves as we awaken to the truth of the toxic systems of our times. She is not ahead of or above us in this journey, but right here in the midst of social media addiction and overwork and systemic frustration, shouting that she can see an opening. She offers us rest not instead of the incredible work we are doing, but as a way to undergird all our efforts against capitalism and white supremacy. She shows us that our dream space is sacred, and rest is how we reclaim access to the wisdom there. Naps and all kinds of rest are portals through which we return to ourselves. Tricia, sounding like an ancestor who is DONE seeing us suffer, is inviting us to join her and step on through. -- adrienne maree brown, author of EMERGENT STRATEGY and PLEASURE ACTIVISMRest Is Resistance connects the dots between capitalism and white supremacy. Rest, Hersey posits, asserts humanity and pushes back against all-consuming grind culture. * Time *A plan of action to help people challenge the idea that our bodies are machines to be used for capitalism's profit as opposed to truly belonging to us. * Essence *Sometimes the window is open and a breeze comes through singing a sweet song: it is nap time. Grandmother sits on the front porch; grandpapa cuts the grass. It is a song. You nap. I nap. The angels hug us. A book settles beside us. Rest Is Resistance. It is a war we will win. -- Nikki Giovanni, PoetTricia Hersey's voice is vivid, well-researched and evocative. She writes intimately about the liberating power of rest and how we imagine a new world outside of capitalist systems. Hersey's manifesto towards radical restoration is lifegiving; I found myself deeply moved by her principles & authenticity. She has established herself as a preeminent voice in the world of Black liberation theology and beyond. -- Glory Edim, author of ON GIRLHOOD and WELL-READ BLACK GIRLLay your ass down and read this book right now! Rest Is Resistance is an inspiring, affirming and revolutionary balm. Tricia and the Nap Ministry's ethos have changed my life, and work, for the better and this manifesto is no different. With compassionate inquiry and actionable offerings, Tricia divinely guides us further into rest, ourselves, and our collective liberation. -- Rachel Ricketts, spiritual activist and author of DO BETTERTricia Hersey's Nap Ministry changed my life. Rest Is Resistance is more than a book - it is one of the most vital interventions of our time. -- Casey Gerald, author of THERE WILL BE NO MIRACLES HEREOver the span of several days, I read Rest Is Resistance as a meditative practice to alter my pace and ground my soul in this frenzied grind culture. Unlike other texts that list a litany of strategies to stave off exhaustion, Hersey presents a lullaby of liberation that frames rest as a portal for healing and imagination available to all. Once you open this book prepare to breathe more deeply and come to see the world more clearly. In the words of the Nap Bishop, 'The Doors of the Nap Temple are open. Won't you come?' -- Gregory C. Ellison II, Ph.D., Founder of Fearless Dialogues and Associate Professor at Emory University’s Candler School of TheologyDeep beneath the marked surfaces of unyielding productivity, shrouded by the thick plumes of the city, a movement is afoot. Or rather, a stillness. A break from the sensorial monocultures that incarcerate us. A refusal to give our bodies to the engines that world the world. A soft theology of the fugitive. An invitation to the postactivism of rest. If this rude stillness of rest is a sermon, Tricia Hersey is its underground prophet. Two hundred years ago, 75 enslaved Igbo people walked right back into Dunbar Creek, refusing to give their bodies to the cotton plantation. Some say they sprouted wings and flew all the way home to Africa. Tricia's fierce insistence that rest is resistance is more than a plea for us to take occasional vacations, and nothing less than a spell masterfully crafted to evacuate us from the settlement politics of capture. Read this book. Then sleep, irreverently, knowing you shake worlds as you do. -- Báyò Akómoláfé, Ph.D., author of THESE WILDS BEYOND OUR FENCESRest Is Resistance left me feeling elated. This book reminds us that we are in charge of our restoration. In these pages, Tricia has offered us an invitation to take our power back. -- Alexandra Elle, author of AFTER THE RAIN and HOW WE HEALRest Is Resistance is a clarion call for our generation. In this pioneering book, Tricia Hersey invites us all to opt out of "grind culture" and embrace our basic and sacred human right to self-care, relaxation, and rest. As Hersey makes clear, this revolutionary praxis is especially important for Black people who have historically and contemporarily been primarily valued for our labor. Ultimately, Hersey reminds us that leisure is not only a way to restore and rejuvenate, but it is also an act of resistance as we hurtle towards end-stage capitalism. -- Bryant Terry, James Beard and NAACP Image award-winning author of BLACK FOOD and Editor-in-Chief of 4 COLOR BOOKS[Rest Is Resistance] teaches readers that rest is an essential tool in reclaiming power and resisting systemic oppression. * Afro News *Hersey's ministry background shines through in her passionate and eloquent arguments that read like a clear-eyed sermon...the provocative message will appeal to those tired of grind culture. * Publishers Weekly *Exquisitely beautiful...a book to read and reread with a pen in hand and pad beside you; one that you will find yourself wanting to give to friends, coworkers, and strangers. * BookPage *A stunning call to a slower, richer life of faith. * Sojourners *Get the book and then read, nap, rest, relax and repeat. * Ms Magazine *This book has honestly left me changed and rearranged. As someone who prided myself on needing little sleep and being able to keep going at all costs, reading this was like an epiphany on the error of my ways. Hersey's thesis is that 'the grind' - the idea that it's admirable to keep plugging away at work that depletes us - is rooted in systems that see our bodies as expendable, rather than the divine beings we are. Coming from a woman with deep Christian faith, descended from those who were enslaved, it hits different. Hersey sees rest as a radical act of resistance against these exploitative forces, and now, I do too. -- Afua Hirsch * bestselling author of BRIT(ISH) *

Medication-free, available 24/7 and with no side-effects.This is a book that will make you think, feel, and expand with your mind.Dr Olessya BurgessThis is a thorough, creatively composed and eminently practical book. Created from a combination of years of dedicated training and personal experience in practice, this book demonstrates the author's excellent understanding of the uniqueness and complexity of each person and offers the reader a perfectly constructed springboard from which to execute their own individual therapeutic delivery.Terence is the acknowledged expert on the use of BWRT therapy and his many years of experience are shared and reflected in the information, protocols and beautifully crafted examples provided. This is a totally accessible book, written with an ongoing passion and sensitivity for the needs of the reader. It is written flexibly and avoids the unnecessary use of technical language wherever possible. Terence's enthusiastic, compassionate and affirming voice comes through in his writing. The framing of the text, the helpful strategies and the extracts of the salient points of each chapter provide a unique depth to the book, which makes it a valuable resource and a must-read.Dr Dirke A. de VilliersTerence Watts is a genius. If you have read any of his other self-help books, you probably already know this. Although he is not formally a psychologist, but a therapist, he has a more extended and deep knowledge of psychology than most qualified psychologists.His amazing invention, BWRT, has changed the world of therapy and is solidly based on science and evolutionary biology. It takes into consideration the converging of multiple psychological schools of thought and brilliantly integrates them with neuroscience, producing a completely new and unique process that ensures these stunning results. BWRT is uniquely adapted to the specific client and the specific way their brain and mind work - and this book does an excellent job at making it easily available for self-help. I have successfully used BWRT on myself on a number of occasions, so I can testify that it is possible and effective. The BWRT method explained in the book is extremely user-friendly and highly effective. I am greatly impressed with how much this book offers to readers. It is a worthy read for anyone, including BWRT professionals!Dr Elisa MeccoI could not wait to get my hands on Terence's latest offering, and BWRT: Reboot your Life with BrainWorking Recursive Therapy does not disappoint! Terence artfully and effectively bridges the chasm between science, biology and psychology. BWRT just makes sense: it is logical and rational, and it works! Since I first trained in it in 2017, it has changed the way I practice psychiatry - giving me faster, longer-lasting results. In sharing this BWRT lite version, Terence rides the wave of cutting-edge science application in a self-help format. With clear instructions and word-for-word scripts, he makes it possible for anyone to tackle their issues at root level. And best of all, it can (and should) be completely customised and personalised.Dr Feroza ArbeeI was lucky enough to be on the first training course for BWRT, in which Terence said it would be a useful tool to have in our therapist toolkits. It was clear after using it with clients that this was no ordinary tool; this was something really special. It was a therapists' gift, to know you had a therapy that would enable a client to start to feel better after just one session - and this also gave hope to the client that they could make the changes they were looking for to help them attain their goals. It has been a fascinating journey so far, knowing that BWRT can and will continue to go from strength to strength as more people discover just how much it can help them. The exercises in this book will show you just how powerful your mind is and just what you can achieve when you work in harmony with your mind and body. Enjoy discovering the different ways BWRT can work for you, along with the amazing changes you will make.Gillian SinclairTerence Watts' self-therapy book is not just a self-help tome; it is a mind-changing one. The book gives people an easy-to-access understanding of how they can boost their self-worth, banish phobias and anxieties, enhance performance - and it also addresses a myriad of other mental health issues. He argues that BWRT, although a new therapy, has had outstanding results as it 'disables' the problem at its source, the brain. Focusing on understanding the process and how to accomplish results, the book relies on people's own inherent abilities to access their brain's innate ability to replace the problem with a new 'script': one that defuses subconscious stressors.He describes brain processes which show how our anxieties are triggered and suggests that people don't have a free will but do have a free won't. In other words, we can learn to be ourselves rather than stay stuck in the same negative patterns that keep us from becoming our best selves. Further, the way BWRT works is explained. It is the only therapy that breaches the gap between cognitions and the oldest part of the brain, and Watts describes how BWRT uses 'natural brainwork' to fix any problems. The exercises or protocols provided follow a logical procedure so that people can create a new version of themselves. As the book progresses, the reader becomes aware of how innovative and transformative the therapy is. For instance, it covers areas such as sex and sexuality in a true-life way that addresses particular needs. It helps people understand that the way they are is not necessarily the way they have to be, as their brains can accommodate major changes. Watts discusses life challenges that people have in an empathic and sensitive manner. He shows how people can change their own destiny through, among other things, boosting their own self-worth. It is a compelling read - and a must-read - for all of us after the deprivations and challenges we have endured during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some challenges may need professional help, which is covered at the end of the book; thus, no stone is left unturned. The book is a groundbreaking work from a true visionary. It is commendable that Watts has shared his pioneering work as there is no doubt that BWRT will have a far-reaching and indelible impact on mental health and well-being worldwide.Professor Kathryn Anne NelYou want to pattern your work after the elite, the people who observe behaviour and then find one of the few ways that truly work for people to get what they want and, more importantly, need in life. Terence Watts is one of those 1% in the field of personal change and human development. His new technology, which you can do immediately after reading this fabulous book and learning the methodology, allows you a huge advantage in life. You, those you love and those you help are about to take a quantum leap. BWRT is brilliant. All that awaits is your best life. You will be startled by the approach's simplicity and excited to share the results with everyone you know.Kevin HoganWith BWRT, Terence Watts has developed a method that can lead to significant brain change and well-being for people that suffer from anxiety, phobias, guilt, mild to moderate depression and other conditions that impact daily life functioning. This method has had a significant impact on numerous lives already and is conducted by therapists worldwide. This is the first self-help book utilising this method and you will be guided step by step by Terence towards dealing with your problems in a completely new, groundbreaking way.Asa HammarIn this book Terence Watts provides a brilliantly simple way to conceptualise the complex array of neural subsystems responsible for many of our problematic reactions, decisions and actions. Furthermore, he presents a clear summary of the specific steps needed to accomplish the essence of effective therapy - i.e. the development of a clear sense of how one's future will feel once those problematic reactions, decisions and actions have been replaced and the incorporation of that imagined future into the present.Ronald A. HavensTerence Watts is an outstanding hypnotherapy professional with a sterling past. Not only did he found one of the most credible hypnosis associations in the world, he is also a published author of other books that have helped the hypnotherapy profession. His latest book, on BWRT, is another valuable contribution to the evolving hypnotherapy profession. In my opinion, the writings of Terence Watts will be influencing hypnotherapy students and professionals alike for the next century and beyond. If you want new ideas, get this book!Roy HunterWritten with great clarity and intelligence, Terence Watts' book provides readers with an understanding of human nature that is both unique and thought-provoking, and an insight into the amazing therapy that is BWRT. BrainWorking Recursive Therapy logically makes sense from both an evolutionary and neuroscientific perspective, and the self-help tools in this book are easy to follow and really do make a difference!This book is a must-read for any individual experiencing difficulties in their lives and wanting to make changes, and for anyone interested in understanding the logical (biological) processes involved in mental health.Sue Learoyd-SmithImagine suddenly discovering that there's a user manual for your life - one that sets forth in clear, easy-to-grasp terms exactly how to go about clearing up the issues that plague you and enhancing your strengths. Well, this is it! Terence Watts has provided a do-it-yourself book with step-by-step instructions on applying BWRT principles. There's even a 'maintenance guide' in the form of a daily and weekly plan. Terence has the ability to explain technical information in a way that's concise, informal and gives you the occasional chuckle too! For anyone wanting to live their best life, this book is a must-have.Sumedha BhiseTerence Watts is a gifted innovator whose remarkable BWRT technique is transforming lives. With this book he makes this powerful approach available so that you can overcome your biggest challenges - from self-worth to fears, phobias, anxiety and more. The book truly contains the possibility to change your life in deep and profound ways with a simplicity and depth never before possible. Terence guides you confidently through the practical exercises with clarity using his many decades of experience as a therapist. His writing is clear and accessible and you can feel his warmth and knowledge shining through every page. Each chapter reveals gems that will help you understand what's been upsetting you for years and allow you to dissolve your issue smoothly and quickly in a way that just might surprise you.Dr Tony FitzgeraldHere is a book whose psychological foundation about dysfunctional behaviours is solid. The problem behaviours covered include guilt, anxiety, self-worth, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), phobias and depression, among others. Terence focuses on those problem behaviours common to humanity and makes the explanations of these dysfunctional behaviours understandable to the layperson. Indeed, much of the book's content is a readable behavioural description of those problem behaviours and they are worth far more than the cost of the book. What makes the key difference, however, are the several step-by-step patterns - the aim of which is to make dysfunctional behaviours functional. The first three chapters are foundational to the entire book. They are well written and in language familiar to most readers. You would be wise not to skip these chapters before jumping to a specific pattern of interest to you. The book contains a lot of psychology explaining the problem issues, what they accomplish and the physio-psychological concepts that underpin the patterns. The author has also wisely formatted the procedures so that you can record them for replay and processing. I highly recommend this book to both the individual as well as the counsellor and psychotherapist.Bobby G. BodenhamerTerence Watts created BWRT - one of the most powerful therapies, if not the most powerful therapy, for helping resolve emotional and psychological difficulties - and has now made it accessible to everyone in this incredibly comprehensive and detailed book. You will find an understanding of how problems can develop and how BWRT gets it sorted, which leads into the step-by-step process of dealing with a wide range of mental health issues, including self-worth, the different types of anxiety, depression, phobias, performance enhancement, boosting the immune system and more. Terence's easy style of writing makes it simple to understand the therapeutic process and to quickly start reaping the rewards of resolving uncomfortable and distressing problems.A thoroughly brilliant piece of work inspired by one of the greatest minds in the world today.Keith Tunstall

Watkins Media Limited Saltwater in the Blood: Surfing, Natural Cycles
Book SynopsisThis is an incredibly inspiring exploration of the sea's role in the wellness of people and the planet, beautifully written by Easkey Britton – surfer, scientist and social activist. She offers a powerful female perspective on the sea and surfing, explaining what it’s like to be a woman in a man's world and how she promoted the sport to women in Iran, surfing while wearing a hijab. She speaks of the undiscussed taboo around entering the water while menstruating – and of how she has come to celebrate her own bodily cycles. She has developed her own approach to surfing, which instead of seeking to dominate the waves, works in tune with the natural cycles of her body, the moon and the seasons. In a society that rewards busyness, she believes that understanding the influence of cycles becomes even more important – and we all have them, men and women. For Easkey, the sea is a source of mental and physical wellbeing. She explores the mental toughness needed in big-wave surfing, and presents surfing as an embodied mindfulness practice in which we can find flow and connect with the movement of the waves. She stresses the need to recognize the ocean as our most powerful ally when addressing our greatest global challenge: the climate crisis. Above all, Easkey’s relationship to the sea has taught her about the need to meet life and evolve with it, rather than seeking to control it. By such wisdom our planet might just survive and thrive.Trade Review"A fantastic read - beautifully written and brimming with wisdom, wildness and stories that enlighten and inspire ... a book for these times from a soulful surfer, scholar, and artist who offers us a compelling and hopeful vision for how things can be." - Ruairí McKiernan, bestselling author of Hitching for Hope"Easkey Britton’s story is one of resilience, strength and the nourishing power of the sea ... a moving tale of one woman’s exploration of her own self and her beloved blue sea" - "Easkey Britton has transferred the courage and dedication of a life spent surfing the world's wildest waves onto the written page to tell a fascinating story that is both an intensely personal reflection and a celebration of the sea." - Keith Duggan, award-winning journalist and bestselling author of books including Cliffs of Insanity"Reading this truly marvellous book made me feel vulnerable, uplifted and ... will leave an indelible mark on the memory." - Sir Tim Smit, Co-Founder of the Eden Project"This beautiful book is much more than a celebration of place. It is a powerful story of an incredible woman at the frontline of surfing. ... Easkey’s blue heritage runs deep through her bloodline, and she will draw us all closer – both inside our bodies and the bigger body of the world – to water as we flow through these pages." - Sam Bleakley, surfer, filmmaker and author of Mindful Thoughts for Surfers: Turning in to the Tides"This book is a love story of the exhilarating relationship between a deeply sensitive, courageous woman and the ocean ... With such an intimate personal account it also illustrates how each person can have their own rich and fulfilling relationship with the natural world." - Michael Depledge CBE FRCP, Emeritus Professor of Environment and Human Health"Easkey Britton's story is uniquely, authentically, wholly, powerfully, and untouchably her own. She tells us how to bring water – in all its forms – into our own lives as mother, muse, coach, confidant, healer, lover, sparing-partner, and best friend. I hope everyone listens." - Dr Wallace J Nichols, author of Blue Mind"Saltwater in the Blood is a compelling and moving read about the thrill, wonder and danger of surfing, and how Easkey’s relationship to the sea and surf has awoken in her a responsibility to life itself." - Alexandra Pope. co-author of Wild Power: discover the magic of the menstrual cycle and awaken the feminine path to power"Her journey as a surfer and as woman are an urgent reminder of the spiritual power of our ocean as a source of inspiration, humility, and connection that we all need in this moment of human and planetary crisis." - Persis Karim, poet, editor and Professor at San Francisco State University"We learn of a woman’s deep sensations from Easkey’s book. She is not coy. She says it how she feels, in water and on paper and in this world." - Pauline Bewick, Irish artist and author"In Saltwater in the Blood, Easkey invites us into her intimate relationship with the sea, and shows us how hearing its calls has given her new eyes, profound connections, and a fierce courage to release the wild woman soul that yearns to come out of hiding." - Captain Liz Clark, author of Swell

Steve Thompson was in England's front row, at the heart of the match, and at the heart of the scrum - one of sport's most violent battlegrounds. But triumph came at a cost. Today, he remembers nothing about playing in that final. In his words, watching the tape back is like watching a ghost. The years of hurt, and the culture of sucking up punishment and coming back for more, have taken a terrible toll. Steve has been diagnosed with early onset dementia, and serious progressive brain damage. Steve and his wife Steph had a happy family life planned, with decades ahead of them. Now he needs to capture these elusive memories for the sake of his children, before they disappear forever. With stories contributed by his world-cup winning teammates and his former manager, Sir Clive Woodward, Unforgettable is raw, powerful storytelling.

Since its birth in 1948, the powers that be have chipped away at the NHS. Now, Britain's best-loved institution is under greater threat than ever, besieged by a deadly combination of underfunding, understaffing and the predatory private sector.

Verso Books The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise
Book SynopsisThe Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise—neurotic and pessimistic, yet endearing, comic, and never less than entertaining—is a penetrating vision of the world of office work. As translator David Bellos writes, it shows us what ‘computers, perhaps even those powered today by AI, simply cannot do: make us laugh and make us cry’.This playful novel originated with a 1968 invitation from IBM, then searching for a writer to explore the use of computers in literature. Georges Perec took up the invite and programmed an early computer to follow the steps an employee of a large corporation would take to submit a successful request for a raise. (Perec himself was such a lowly employee at the time, his prospects of getting a raise as dim as those of the narrator of this tale.) From that algorithmic experiment grew this pioneering and enduring fiction.

Marshall Cavendish International (Asia) Pte Ltd The Way of the Leader: 25 Ideas for Leading
Book SynopsisIn the history of human progress, the most fruitful developments take place at the intersection of different lines of thoughts. The timeless topic of leadership has for centuries always been dominated by the ideas and philosophies of Western thinkers, business executives and academics. For far too long, the voice from the East has been deafeningly silent. As Asia rises in the global economy, a question that begs an answer is, "What is the leadership tradition of the East and how will it play out globally?" Leadership consultant BH Tan has written an outstanding exposition of the Asian perspective on leadership. He has drawn upon his deep appreciation of Daoist principles to propose a complementary approach to the Western-centric leadership mindset. A lifelong student of Eastern and Western thinking and leadership, he challenges some of our most cherished truths and perspectives. "Either-or" is out. The "both-and" philosophy will lead us to a better future in this complex, chaotic yet interconnected world. This is the essence of leadership paradoxes. When we integrate both streams of thinking, we transcend contradictions and tap into greater possibilities for progress and creativity. This can only help us lead more wisely and courageously. Each of the 25 chapters is fabulously written, easy to read, with plenty of real-life cases drawn from the author's many decades of experience working alongside leaders around the world. This is the author's third book on leadership.

Vertebrate Publishing Ltd Toes In The Water: Stories of lives changed by
Book SynopsisWhy do so many of us step into the water? Compiled and edited by Rachel Jones, Toes in the Water explores the life-affirming and healing power of wild swimming. With insights from a wide range of swimmers, the book explores the community around wild swimming, interwoven with the mental and physical health benefits which swimmers gain from it. The featured swimmers share the connection they feel with the natural world, and how this can lead to a positive impact on the environment around them. Packed full of inspiring stories, Toes in the Water is a book that could change your life. The featured swimmers include open-water coach and year-round outdoor swimmer Ella Foote, who describes how the swimming community has supported her and given her skills and confidence in the outdoors; meanwhile, Beth Pearson, co-director of the Outdoor Swimming Society, explains the motivation behind and evolution of creating a wild swimming community. Also, Yorkshire-based wild swimming guide Les Peebles reflects on how healing he finds being in the water and how much joy he finds in helping others to discover wild swimming; and Lindsey Cole, mermaid, adventurer and environmental campaigner, explains how she raises awareness of river pollution through storytelling and activism.Table of Contents Introduction COMMUNITY Anna Deacon: A sense of belonging Johnny Hartnell: Wheelie bins and swimventures Beth Pearson: The OSS community Ella Foote: Strength from strangers CP Robinson: The coast is queer Pauline Barker: The Polar Bear Challenge Wendy, Lisa and Julia: Hampshire Open Water Swimmers Colin Hill: The antisocial swimmer Louise Owen: Friends old and new Simon Harmer: The benefits of an outdoor swimming community Katie Richards: Cold-water connection Deb Phillips: Channel swimming Stefan Hargrave: See you next week Sara Barnes: The ghosts of Cow Pool ENVIRONMENT Alice Kloker: River bed Sarah Shreeve: Sewage in our seas Chris Thomas: 365 Sea Swim Challenge Lindsey Cole: The mermaid, the otter and the big poo Emma Harper aka Mischief the Mermaid: Aiming for an ideal – the ghost hunt Susanne Masters: Tastes of water MENTAL HEALTH Catherine White: Waves of freedom Beth French: The glacier Dr Heather Massey: My life through outdoor swimming Jo Clement: Rhythm of the ocean Les Peebles: Helping others discover wild swimming Kate Steels: The Ice Sevens Mikayla Guidera: Freezbrury Kathleen Wotton: The sea saved me Loretta Cox: Discovering open-water swimming Sarah Kennedy Norquoy: Swimming to reset Rachel Ashe: Trying to fit Contributors About the editor
