'Essential reading for everyone' - Marian Keyes It's high time we
renovated and elevated this life change. Despite the centuries of
speculation and propaganda, we are not overheating or inherently
cold, we are not hysterics or boiling vats of toxic poisons, we are
not dried up or washed up, we are simply menopausal. It's time for
us to start talking about the menopause. Cracking the Menopause,
from straight-talking broadcaster Mariella Frostrup and health
journalist Alice Smellie, has all the information you need,
delivered with characteristic wry humour. Mariella shares her own
journey through the menopause, along with the latest science,
advice from leading experts and humorous illustrations - to provide
an informative source of wisdom and enlightenment. Featuring case
studies from women in every walk of life and all stages of their
menopause journey, Cracking the Menopause opens up the conversation
about an urgent topic that half the population will experience, but
barely anyone is talking about. Designed to equip you with the
knowledge to manage your symptoms from perimenopause onwards, this
essential book separates the myths from the reality and offers
expertise, hope and advice. 'I inhaled this book, it's fantastic.
Women of all ages need to read it.' - Claudia Winkleman 'Mariella
and Alice have just written one of the most important books of the
year, bravo.' - Gabby Logan
Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.
In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and a man who can make data sing, Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens, and reveals the ten instincts that distort our perspective. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.
Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world.
In this self-help guidebook, Martin Skeer, Ph.D., provides a unique
conceptual framework that enables others to increase awareness and
progress toward realizing personal aspirations, ultimately
enhancing the quality of their lives. Skeer presents principles and
a series of quantitative scales that allow measurement of one's
fulfillment and happiness, challenging others to view their lives
more realistically and gain a heightened awareness of the
importance of daily gratitude. While sharing ideas cultivated from
extensive discussions with Dr. Margie Skeer, an expert in social
sciences, Skeer also provides hypothetical examples, guiding you
through a journey of self-improvement. Learn how to: Understand
actual versus potential Construct a value system Enhance
relationships through interpersonal communication Recognize
successes, no matter how small Differentiate between negative
perceptions and constructive advice Take risks to improve potential
Ultimately, there is nothing that matters more than fulfillment and
happiness. Skeer's framework challenges you to consider the options
to achieving success and inner joy and find a new way to view the
world.

The Bright Side makes a vital and transformative new argument: that optimism is not only the natural state of humanity, but an essential one. Without optimism we would never have survived the unpredictable - and often hostile - world we evolved into. Yet optimism is not reserved for times of extremity. Its benefits manifest throughout our everyday lives: our relationships, careers, bodies and minds. And it will play a critical role in overcoming the challenges of the twenty-first century.
In this book, astrophysicist-turned-journalist Sumit-Paul Choudhury offers practical suggestions on what it really takes to be an optimist today and, in doing so, provides a powerful manifesto for hope and a much-needed new perspective on our prospects. He shows how, by embracing action, imagination and possibility, we can find a path to the bright side, even - perhaps especially - when the future seems dark.
Both realistic and revolutionary, The Bright Side is a guidebook for troubled times that will make you re-evaluate your habits and outlook.
For more than two decades, internationally renowned pioneer in
energy medicine Caroline Myss has been studying how people use
their personal power. Through her special brand of spiritual
insight and intuition, her popular workshops, and her bestselling
books, Myss has helped hundreds of thousands of people meet the
lifelong challenge of managing their spiritual energy and improving
their lives.
Now, in this inspiring new book, Myss expands her message about
power in an entirely new spiritual direction. With characteristic
originality, she explains how we become channels for divine grace
and a conduit for miracles through kind, compassionate, generous
actions, or, as she calls them, invisible acts of power. When we
act compassionately, without a private agenda or expectation of
credit or reward, God works invisibly, anonymously through us. And
as we move from visible acts, such as giving a friend a helping
hand, to invisible acts, such as prayer and healing, we undergo a
profound journey of personal empowerment.
The myriad simple but profound ways that people connect to create
small miracles, gain a greater sense of spirituality, and transform
their own -- and others' -- lives in an instant will inspire you to
your own invisible acts of power...and attract them to you.

"This leads to my definition of life. In many ways, it is quite
simple: It is using your talents to, in some small way, make a
difference in this world. Whether it's working with the
environment, or our educational system, or those with physical or
mental challenges, or those in the dawn or twilight of their lives,
meaning is achieved by working towards and leaving behind something
of value to the next generation. It matters little whether your
aspiration or dream was realized: we'll never have world peace, or
feed the hungry, or avoid catastrophic diseases or illnesses. What
matters is that you tried, that you worked to make the world a
better place. What matters is that, when you look back over your
life, you can say that you fought the good fight, that you did what
was right, and that you made a difference in this world. "
In "The Meaning of Life," author Dean Gualco tackles an
assortment of questions that many of us have asked at one point or
other: Why are we here? What is our purpose? How does one lead a
decent and honorable life? Divided into five sections, "The Meaning
of Life" seeks to provide the answers. With discussions that
include determining what you stand for, doing the best with what
you have, and living life with the knowledge that it goes by in a
blink, Gualco provides a thought-provoking study of an issue that
has perplexed man for centuries.
