As a passionate advocate for mental health, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau believes that in order to know and accept ourselves fully, we need to understand why we think and feel the way we do, and recognize the experiences, attitudes, and patterns that may be holding us back. And yet, all of us are capable of growth and positive change, if we''re willing to stay open and curious throughout our lives. In Closer Together, Sophie shares moments from her own journey: from her childhood, through her struggles with an eating disorder in her teens and early adulthood; from a career as a speaker and television host to de facto ''first lady'' and mother of three. Above all, Sophie is a warm and empathetic connector, and her book is enriched by exclusive interviews with experts such as Gabor Mate, Liz Plank, Terrence Real, Catherine Price, Harville Hendrix, and Helen LaKelly Hunt - to name just a few - as she delves into the science behind brain health and our unique emotional signatures.

One of our dead writers liked to say, ''Peru is a beggar sleeping on a bench made of gold.'' It''s a cute phrase, but it''s not really true. There''s hardly any gold left, and none of us get much sleep. Based on real events in 1970s-2000s Peru, This Country Is No Longer Yours tells the story of people living through the terrorist campaign of the Maoist Shining Path, while struggling to survive amid economic crisis and state collapse. A student of the revolution''s leader is dispatched to Cambodia to learn from the Khmer Rouge, sending him spiralling into a world of unfathomable political violence that both inspires him and will be his undoing. Then, as the terror spreads across Peru, a ruthless security agent of the newly-elected neoconservative government works to squash the growing insurgency now threatening the halls of power, while applying his surveillance training to romantic pursuits-with chilling results. When the war is over, a journalist committed to exposing a brewing nation
