Trauma and Recovery is the foundational text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a political frame, psychiatrist Judith L. Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. This edition includes a new epilogue by the author assessing what has-and hasn't-changed in understanding and treating trauma over the last three decades. Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how we heal.

"The average British family spends just 34 minutes a day together during the week" "4 out of 10 women (over 12 million) feel that they are about to burn out" "70 million days are lost from work each year due to mental ill health in the form of anxiety, depression and stress related conditions". These are just some of the facts that are glaring at us and for some form a part of our day-to-day living. Each one of us will at some point in our life ask ourselves the pertinent question "why am I here or why was I born?" My greatest belief is that whichever way we look at life we were all born for a purpose and our purpose is to fine out. Our quest to find out or live out this purpose is what leads us to the purposeful life, which creates a Purposeful You. Purposeful You is a now message about living a life of intention and proactively doing things that give us a purposeful life. In its simplest form it shows us that purpose + intention = desired outcome. An outcome we can altogether influence by: 1. Creating meaningful work 2. Creating meaningful love 3. Practicing self care 4. Being present

An instant "New York Times" bestseller, this powerful book from transformational expert Marci Shimoff, now in paperback, shows readers how to live happier and more open-hearted lives by experiencing more unconditional love.
In "Love for No Reason" Marci Shimoff guides readers towards a life filled with love--the kind of love that doesn't depend on another person, situation, or romantic partner.
"Love for No Reason" introduces a new way of thinking about love, defining it as an inner state of being that anyone can access at any time, and in any circumstance. To experience what Shimoff calls "Love for No Reason," one doesn't need to have the right partner, the perfect body, an ideal child, or a great job. As the book demonstrates through the examples of those who are living in this state of unconditional love, when you love for no reason you bring love to the world around you, rather than expect love from it. Supported by the latest scientific research on the biochemistry of love, Shimoff outlines a revolutionary program to develop and nurture more love from the inside out. She also offers practical tools and breakthrough methods that will empower readers to bring unconditional love to every aspect of their lives and introduces 150 Love Luminaries--world-renowned scientists, spiritual leaders, and psychologists, as well as people who are living in the state of Love for No Reason--many of whom share their moving personal stories.
Regardless of the challenges people may face--whether they are relationship, economic, or business pressures--this book will show readers how they can become an unshakeable source of love for themselves and everyone around them.

Here's what Liz Yelling (Double Olympian and Commonwealth Bronze Medalist) said about it: "If you are new to running this is a basic beginners guide to getting started. It will cover all your questions about where to start and how to start. The author Annie has written this from her heart, enlightening others from her own experiences as a beginner. Now a regular runner and coach she now hopes to help others embarking on their own running campaign." The author Annie Page is a qualified UK Athletics Running Coach, an NLP Trainer and Master Practitioner and a Coaching Master - who really enjoys running! She says "I had not run since leaving school, where I was probably one of the few who actually enjoyed cross country. I started running again in 2004, with a friend and we started off not being able to run for more than a couple of minutes and then needing to walk, which was great because the plan we were following told us to do just that (there is one at the end of the book). From there I fell back in love with running, with racing and getting out in the fresh air and enjoying the countryside. I joined my local club Ampthill and Flitwick Flyers and have enjoyed the camaraderie that goes with belonging to a fun, friendly, supportive and social club. I wanted to give something back to the club and so became a coach and have attended various UK Athletics run courses over the years to keep my knowledge up to date." Content includes... Why Run?
