final instalment in the hugely beloved series After the tumult of
the last years, William Sieghart is back to prescribe the perfect
poem for a variety of life's ailments, offering hope and comfort to
readers in need. Here, he draws on the emails he received from the
public during multiple lockdowns, as well as tried-and-true
classics from his in-person pharmacies, to create an essential
anthology of poetry for our times. Through his expert curation and
insightful commentary, he reminds us of the power of words to help
us heal, to reconnect us with the world and to recover what has
been lost. From weathering sorrow and sudden loss, to dealing with
environmental despair and burnout, this new selection speaks
directly to a society in urgent need of comfort and compassion.
Whether you're searching for guidance, hope, or simply a moment of
beauty, The Poetry Pharmacy Forever is here to provide solace, joy
and inspiration, one verse at a time.

Have you ever been told you're too sensitive? Welcome to the club.
Nearly 1 in 3 people have the genes to be more sensitive than others.
But what if we said it doesn't have to be the insult it's always been
framed as?
Highly sensitive people:
· Have a heightened sense of empathy
· Tune into subtle details and make connections that others miss
· Are often wonderfully creative
Through fascinating research, expert storytelling and practical
insight, this book will teach you how to unlock the potential in this
undervalued strength and leverage it in your relationships, your work
and your life.
Shattering the myth that being sensitive is a weakness, Sensitive will
change - once and for all - how the world sees sensitive people, and
how they see themselves.
Busy business owner and coach, Jackie Jarvis, shares her personal
journey with honesty and humour. Reaching a point in her life when
she felt an urge to slow down and be truer to her heart's desire,
she found that the struggle with herself was the biggest challenge
of all. She writes about what many of us, living busy, fast paced
lives feel. She touches on what deep down we all have the greatest
longing for but at the same time are afraid to reach out for, and
afraid to give ourselves permission to have. If, like Jackie, you
listen to 'The Voice of Slow' and what it has to say to you, you
will become inspired to follow her path to slowing down, stressing
less and enjoying life more. Read slowly to appreciate the
important messages here for you. *This book is based on an earlier
version titled 'In Pursuit of Slow'.'In Pursuit of Slow' was an
Amazon Bestseller in the Top 50 Self Help category.

family and friends, your health, your favourite TV show or even the
weather. Once you get started, you'll be amazed by just how much
there is to appreciate.
Warning: this book contains strong language (which may be
unsuitable for children). There's enough solidly inspirational and
profoundly beautiful literature out there already for your reading
pleasure, I won't add to that. Instead I offer you this. I wrote
it. I felt compelled to do so because I have a suspicion that, like
me, we all worry about and over analyse the same things in life. We
are all just anxious meatbags, trying to get along. We all want
similar (ish) things. Happiness, family, love, safety, FAME and a
metabolism that helpfully speeds up annually on the event of our
passing birthdays. I found this quote a few years ago, it came up
as I was scrolling on the internet. It's so beautiful it actually
hurts. "You're a ghost driving a meat coated skeleton, made from
stardust. What do you have to be scared of?" It's deep isn't it?
It's basically the theme of this book. It's aim and my intention is
to alleviate worries and reassure the reader that we are all the
same inside. We ALL relate to the same s*** that keeps us awake at
night. I'll be honest... I swear like a trucker, but I sure can
write and I have good intentions. And, as the front cover states-
it's a guide to surviving the best bits of life and holding our
middle fingers up to the rest! - Bind
