This is a simple, research-based guide to overcoming attention
problems through mindfulness and meditation. The heart of the book
is an 8-step programme that teaches simple yet powerful midfulness
practices, adapted for those struggling with ADHD.
Inspired by author Sarah Gray's ability to creatively harness her
experience of Motor Neurone Disease, Claret Press sponsored a short
story competition. It called for entries that dealt with mental or
physical disability in innovative ways. With Sarah, Katie Isbester
PhD (editor-in-chief of Claret Press), and Dr James Scott (an
orthopedic surgeon) as judges, the competition offered prizes of
250, 150 and 50. Over 70 stories flowed in. The quality was
exceptionally high, and the stories were, without exception,
moving. The best of a great selection have been collected here.
Some stories are hilarious, some heartbreaking. They include
sci-fi, romance, satire and memoir. All challenge us to see mental
and physical disability through a different lens - one infused with
humanity. This beautiful full-colour book includes fifteen original
photographs by internationally renowned artist, Tansy Spinks, whose
photography can been seen in the Museum of Fine Art in Houston, the
National Media Museum in Bradford, and now at the V&A. Net
proceeds from the sale of the book go to support the MNDA. We are
proud to announce that our fundraiser has raised almost 2000 and
counting. FInd Sarah's work here: Surface Tension, Half Life, and
Urban Creatures - coming soon.
