Ebury Publishing Fix Your Period: Six Weeks to Life-Long Hormone
Book SynopsisForget ‘women’s troubles’ and get your cycle working for you.For most women, one week (or more) out of every month is sacrificed to having a period or anticipating its arrival. And it is largely experienced as a colossal disruption – from being doubled over in pain and suffering from acne outbreaks to loss of sex drive, exhaustion, insomnia and major moodiness. Yet when women seek medical assistance, they are usually told to accept it or take birth control pills to ‘balance’ hormones. What's wrong with this picture? Everything! Period problems are not simply to be endured or covered up with pills – they are our body’s way of telling us that something is wrong. And ignoring these signs can lead to bigger health issues – including fertility problems – down the line. This is where Fix Your Period comes in. Based on decades of work with women, Nicole Jardim’s all-natural approach will help you to see the red flags (no pun intended) that your period (or lack thereof) can alert you to, how to troubleshoot these symptoms to get a better understanding of the problem and, most importantly, what to do about it. It is an empowering approach that will give you the essential tools to take control of your own healing.Whether you are suffering from PMS, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), irregular periods, painful periods, endometriosis, fibroids, Fix Your Period will enable you to regain normal, healthy periods and get your life back on track.

Book SynopsisThe human mind today is undergoing the most exciting and intensive probing in the history of mankind. In this unusual and provocative book, W. Clement Stone, a hard-headed businessman, and Norma Lee Browning, a top reporter, combine forces to explore The Other Side of the Mind - the fascinating, often controversial world of mind phenomena. "Enough is known today about the capabilities of the brain to provide science with its greatest challenge," writes Norma Lee Browning. "It is now evident that we are only scratching the surface of human potentialities. When the curtain of mystery is lifted from the last unexplored corner of the mind, there will be no limits to what the future may hold for shaping the destiny of mankind."Keep an open mind as you read about: The strange psychic life of the Australian Aborigines. The mystery of the fire-walkers of the Fiji Islands. The yogis of India, who may hold the key which scientists everywhere are looking for to unlock the hidden reservoirs of human efficiency and energy. The startling and significant research into mental telepathy that is being done by Soviet scientists of the highest caliber. Extra-sensory perception and what the future holds for para-psychology. The researches into hypnosis, cybernetics and ESB - electrical stimulation of the brain. Lourdes, for whose cures medical science has no explanation. The sensitives of mediums who claim to have special psychic powers and the honest appearing charlatans who prey upon the gullible. How you can relate the facts in this book to your own life to develop and maintain your physical, mental, and moral well-being.

John Murray Press Life and How to Live It
Book SynopsisWhat constitutes a good doctor? What makes someone healing? Research consistently shows that the personal attributes and style of the therapist are more important than the type of therapy they use to help people get better. Among the characteristics of these healers are empathy, genuineness, warmth and an ability to listen. But, there’s more. What do patients give their doctor? This book looks at the influence a lifetime of patients has had on retired consultant psychiatrist Dr Tim Cantopher. It explores the profound, often moving, inter-relation between `healer’ and `wounded’, and examines how the two may overlap sometimes more than might be expected. Topics include: how to really listen and stay with a person's distress the meaning of the word `patient?’ the need for resilience why honesty is a pre-requisite for recovery the doctor’s expectations, and why they should be challenged the healing value of warm, supportive communication how to respond in a way which shows that they have heard and understood the issue which has been shared last but not least, the need for humour! Dr Tim Cantopher says: `So many of us, not just professional therapists, want to fix things. We also want to fix people, so when distress is shared with us, we want to deliver advice which will make things better. In fact, what is often needed is not solutions, but a sharing of the feelings, someone being there and tolerating the sadness without swatting it away with trite advice. Warm, supportive communication heals people.’Trade ReviewThis book should be read by everybody... It offers invaluable insight into depression [on Depressive Illness: The Curse of the Strong] * Depression Alliance *

Hodder & Stoughton The State Of Affairs
Book Synopsis***NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** Is there such a thing as an affair-proof marriage? Is it possible to love more than one person at once? Why do people cheat? Can an affair ever help a marriage?Infidelity is the ultimate betrayal. But does it have to be? Relationship therapist Esther Perel examines why people cheat, and unpacks why affairs are so traumatic; because they threaten our emotional security. In infidelity, she sees something unexpected - an expression of longing and loss. A must-read for anyone who has ever cheated or been cheated on, or who simply wants a new framework for understanding relationships.''Esther Perel does nothing short of strip us of our deepest biases, remind us of our purpose in connecting as lovers, and save relationships that might otherwise sink into the sea-all with even-handed wisdom, fresh morality, and wise prose. Thank heavens for this woman.'' - Lena Dunham''Beautiful. A brilliantly iTrade Review'Perel's beautiful new book asks us to pause and examine our prejudices and assumptions around affairs - and to hold off on our usual knee jerk attempts to approve or condemn. She wants, first and foremost, that we understand why infidelity happens and what really occurs when it does. Anyone who thinks they understand the topic already needs to read this book urgently. Perel's work amounts to a brilliantly intelligent plea for complexity, understanding and-always-kindness.' -- Alain de Botton

Octopus Publishing Group How to Age Joyfully: Eight Steps to a Happier,
Book SynopsisWe’re living longer – let’s live better! Getting older should be something to enjoy and celebrate. And it can be. Research shows that we can make a big difference to how well we age. From staying active to connecting with others, this uplifting book shares the secrets to ageing well in eight steps, to help keep you healthy and happy. Each step has easy-to-follow tips, alongside inspiring words both ancient and modern… and more! Whether you choose to follow some of the advice or all, this is the perfect guide for living a more fulfilled, healthy and joyful life.Trade ReviewI commend this book to everyone of all ages, and let us all age joyfully! * Dame Judi Dench *This is an outstanding book. It carries a clear message and expresses a clear philosophy, namely that we need to transform the way we think about living longer. Science has now made clear that even though there is a process called ageing, a normal biological process which does have some effects, these effects are relatively insignificant until the late nineties. Most of the problems people face are preventable and remediable, and the book not only explains this but gives advice, insight and encouragement. It speaks from the heart, from an author who has knowledge and experience. It is a manifesto for living better longer. * Sir Muir Gray, CBE, FRCPSGlas, FCLIP, Professor and Consultant in Public Health, Oxford University; author of Sod 70!; first Chief Knowledge Officer for the NHS and creator of NHS Choices *A fun and savvy guide to putting more life in your years. * Carl Honoré, writer and broadcaster; author of In Praise of Slow and Bolder: Making the Most of our Longer Lives *As a society, we should be celebrating the extraordinary gift of longer life that we have been given by the last century's advances in public health, nutrition and medicine. But instead, our ageing population is all too often presented as a problem rather than a gift, and ageist stereotypes and age discrimination are everywhere - in our media, our workplaces, our towns, and in our own worries and attitudes about growing old. How to Age Joyfully is a welcome antidote to this fearful, negative view of ageing, and a rich resource of ideas and evidence for how to enjoy your own later life. * Catherine Foot, Director of Evidence, Centre for Ageing Better *Full of wit, wisdom - and hope! * Gyles Brandreth, writer and broadcaster *Knowing how passionate Maggy is about having a positive approach to ageing, it is no surprise to me that her book is bursting full of inspiration and suggestions on how to do just that. Her tips align with Open Age's mission and actions for increasing the well-being and social connectedness of our members. It is evidence not only of her passion, but also her generosity, that Open Age will benefit from sales, allowing us to carry on helping many more people to age joyfully. Thank you, Maggy. * Iain Cassidy, CEO, Open Age *Maggy has written so passionately about her own experience of discovering the joys and benefits of dance that I feel she can't fail to convince others. She has brought so much energy and enthusiasm to our dance group and her book shows very clearly and forcefully that there is a whole new world out there awaiting the older dancer - and all of us. * Barbara Berkeley-Hill, Chair, Sage Dance Company *Old age is being redefined and this is an essential book for today's new world. It is full of positive actions to maximise enjoyment of our added years in this amazing period of life. * Joyce Williams MBE FCSP, aka blogger GrandmaWilliams.com *We all know that people today can expect to live healthily and productively for longer than ever before. This is fact. Irrefutable. But, what is less clear is what we are all to do with this extra time. As the concept of retirement is increasingly eroded, our society is in desperate need of new life models, new examples of what is possible. We need new champions to help shape a new world, where people can work, play, innovate, inspire, lead and create - throughout life, regardless of age. Maggy is such a champion. Read her book and see why. * Dr Jonathan Collie, co-founder of The Age of No Retirement *We are all ageing. This motivating and practical book is a valuable, easy-to-read guide on what we need to do to help us age well and make the most of our lives. As a patron of Open Age, I'm delighted that a share of Maggy's royalties will benefit this remarkable charity. * Baroness Sally Greengross, Chief Executive, International Longevity Centre UK; member of the House of Lords since 2000 and co-chair of several All-Party Parliamentary Groups on ageing; Director General of Age Concern England from 1987–2000 *We hear so much about the burdens of an ageing society that we seem to have talked ourselves into thinking of rising life expectancy as a bad thing. In this book, Maggy Pigott reminds us how lucky we are to live at such a time and how to add joy to all the other emotions as we navigate those later years. * Alan Johnson, former Labour politician and Cabinet Minister, including Secretary of State for Health (2007–2009); award-winning author; patron of Open Age *

We assume that smarter people are less prone to error. But education and expertise can sometimes make our mistakes worse and our blind spots bigger. Why did genius Steve Jobs make errors of judgement? Why do doctors misdiagnose 10-15% of their patients? Why do Nobel Prize winners spread fake news? This is the intelligence trap.Drawing on the latest behavioural science and great brains from Socrates to Benjamin Franklin, David Robson demonstrates how to apply our intelligence more wisely. He shows us how we can identify bias, read and regulate our emotions, fine-tune our intuition, navigate ambiguity and Trade ReviewDeftly digs into why smart people can do so many dumb things and leads us deep into the world of our own mental booby trap. -- Tim HarfordWe need to find new and better ways to teach critical thinking and measure good judgement. Reading David Robson's book would be a good place to start. * Wall Street Journal *An elegant survey of current thinking about thinking, and how best to do it without pride, prejudice, or arrogance. * Mail on Sunday *A startling, provocative and potently useful book. * Sunday Times *Brilliant. The Intelligence Trap combines mesmerising storytelling with groundbreaking new research about why having a high IQ can backfire. Essential reading for anyone who wants to think more clearly. * Rolf Dobelli, author of the million-copy-selling Art of Thinking Clearly *A fascinating and enjoyable investigation of what intelligence is and isn't, by one of the most exciting new voices in science writing. This thought-provoking and brilliantly researched guide to achieving true wisdom shows us how to be smarter - and how to protect ourselves from the cleverest fools. * Gaia Vince, prize-winning author of Adventures in the Anthropocene *I loved The Intelligence Trap. As fun to read as it is fascinating, it celebrates the power of humility and curiosity. Everyone, especially intelligent people, should read this brilliant and important book. * Anna Rosling-Ronnlund *The Intelligence Trap is ceaselessly fascinating and brilliantly written by one of our most consistently superb science writers. Its counter-intuitive argument, that intelligence is no inoculation against wrongness, explains so much about the fractious and baffling times in which we live. * Will Storr, author of SELFIE *

Hodder & Stoughton Walk With Your Wolf
Book Synopsis''Drawing on perceptive insight and profound wisdom, Jonathan Hoban reveals how the simple act of walking can displace our minds from a place of chaos to tranquil calm, and makes a beautiful and inspiring case for walking with your wolf.'' - Dr Mithu Storoni, author of Stress-ProofNature is our greatest healer.It''s time to start walking and reclaim the wildness in all of us.When did you last take a walk? Not a stroll to the shops, or to the pub, but a walk that got you energised, stimulated your senses, allowing you to de-stress? If the answer is that you''d love to walk, but don''t have the time, there really are more reasons to get outside than you might think.When we walk we find the space to process our feelings and we begin to have the courage to be vulnerable and honest with ourselves. Walking awakens the intuition that helps us face up to our difficulties and walk alongside them, enabling us to find positive solutions to ouTrade ReviewJonathan Hoban challenges us to use nature as a setting for reconsidering our lives and our stresses. He asks us to 'walk alongside our difficulties' giving ourselves the physical and mental space to look at ourselves anew and to decide what we really need. For that commute to work, or indeed for that break on the park bench, I commend his book.Combining therapy with nature and activity isn't new. In the late 1900s, Sigmund Freud walked with certain of his patients around the Ringstrasse, Vienna's grand, tree-lined boulevard. But what if you have no therapist or kindred spirit to accompany you? Jonathan Hoban's original, inspiring and powerful book fills the gap. Deftly blending science, his own narrative and his experience as a therapist, he is at our side as we find a way of engaging with and being healed by nature. Like the wolf in the book's title, we can reconnect with our own elemental lupine instincts which are so often repressed in our stressful and artificial world - both a wolf's wildness as well as its sociability and need to be part of a pack. Follow in Hoban's easy to apply footsteps and you will never walk alone again.
