What if it were possible for you to make structural changes to your own brain so it’s healthier and less prone to depression, anxiety, grief, worry, and other issues that make you unhappy and keep you stuck?

In this neuroscience-based, faith-infused, and immensely practical guide, Dr. W. Lee Warren, a practicing neurosurgeon, trauma survivor, and award-winning writer, reveals how to take control of your own mental, emotional, and physical healing by reordering your mind to change your brain-resulting in a radically transformed life that is healthier, happier, and more hopeful.

Since the development of functional brain imaging in the early 2000’s, we now know that thoughts can direct structural changes in the brain as or more effectively than medicines or surgery and can do so more quickly. That means, whether we know it or not, we’re all brain surgeons.

The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery will help you:

• learn and master several types of “self-brain surgery” operations to move from floundering to flourishing
• heal from trauma, tragedy, and other types of hardship
• overcome anxiety, depression, loneliness and other emotional and mental health struggles
• conquer limiting or negative thinking
• break old habits and create new ones
• build resilience and wellbeing
• become an empowered, hopeful person no matter what you’re facing

With the skill of a surgeon, the wounds of a trauma-survivor, the lessons of a scientist, and a hard-won faith that we are wired for happiness here on earth and not just in the hereafter, Dr. Warren walks readers into nothing less than a new way of life.

Embrace off-grid green living and imagine a more sustainable future with the original guide to self-sufficiency.

For over 40 years, John Seymour has inspired thousands to make more eco-friendly choices with his advice on living sustainably. The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency offers step-by-step instructions on everything from chopping trees to harnessing solar power; from growing fruit and vegetables, and preserving and pickling your harvest, to baking bread, brewing beer, and making cheese. Seymour shows you how to live off the land, running your own smallholding or homestead, and raising (and butchering) livestock.

In a world of mass production, intensive farming, and food miles, Seymour's words offer an alternative: a celebration of investing time, labour, and love into the things we need. While we won't all be able to move to the countryside, we can appreciate the need to eat food that has been grown ethically or create things we can cherish, using skills that have been handed down through generations. This bestselling classic is a balm for anyone who has ever sought solace away from the madness of modern life.

Finding balance and regulating emotions sounds pretty straight-forward for most people. But Lou Grainger isn't most people... Monkey Tricks is a fictional story that follows main character Lou on her journey of life with anxiety. In this book I've included and visited a lot of relatable (and difficult) experiences with a good sense of humour. It all begins with a letter that she has written to her younger self, which she was recommended to do by her therapist. Although she was pretty reluctant, thinking the whole thing was silly and a waste of time, she was also desperate to get control of her mental health. However, when her therapist tells her the problem is that she has a monkey in her head, she wonders whether she's sitting on the right side of the clip-board. It sounds crazy, but it's actually true, metaphorically anyway. It controls her thoughts and emotions and generally just causes chaos to her life which she could do without. Learning to rein it in and get control of it instead so she can live her life more freely and with less worry is the goal. Monkey Tricks is a heart-warming story of self-discovery and overcoming life's struggles with the help of 'her people' and an awful lot of gin!
