From the host of award-winning podcast On the Edge with Andrew Gold comes The Psychology of Secrets, a bizarre, surprising and thrilling deep dive into the psychology of secrecy.
We all keep secrets. 97 per cent of us are hiding a secret right now, and on average we each hold thirteen at any one time. There’s a one-in-two chance that those secrets involve a breach of trust, a lie or a financial impropriety. They are the stuff of gossip, of novels and of classic dramas; secrets form a major part of our hidden inner lives.
Podcaster Andrew Gold knows this better than anyone. A public persona, he found himself the (unwitting) recipient of hundreds of strangers' most private revelations. This set him on a journey to understand this critical part of our societies and lives. Why do we keep secrets? Why are we fascinated by those of others? What happens to our mind when we confess?
Drawing from psychology, history, social science, philosophy and personal interviews, The Psychology of Secrets is a rollicking journey through the history of secrecy, bringing us in touch with cult leaders, murderers, psychopaths – and even you.

In a time when crossing guards are posted to prevent high schoolers
from jumping in front of trains and parents shelling out $100K for
packaged college applications, education has become a mad race to
grab the Ivy ring. Based on experience in admissions with the Ivy
League and other highly competitive universities, emerging
scientific evidence on the impact of emotional intelligence and
mindfulness, and discussions with admissions officers, students,
families, and high school counselors, this book is a guide on how
to go through the existing, however brutish, college applications
process with less stress and anxiety, and more joy and mindfulness.
Equipped with the powerful tools of emotional intelligence and
mindfulness, this work acknowledges the reality of what the process
is, and challenges young people to reach for a more meaningful
ideal for themselves. This book shares a look at the holistic
admissions process and offers an alternative one to the current
climate of untenable stress. This updated model aims to shift
mindsets from treating the admissions process as a ruthless
competition with one externally-prescribed definition of success,
to a step in a lifelong journey of curiosity and wonder. By
building self-awareness, compassion, resilience, it's possible to
navigate the process with greater authenticity, balance, and joy.
In this powerful new collection of wisdom and poetry, Donna Ashworth
helps us to find strength and courage on the days we feel lost, to pick
ourselves up when times are hard, to soothe fear and self-doubt when we
are in their grip, and to let in more life and love as we brave our
challenges.
Every day we are bombarded by thoughts, feelings and information that
make us feel anxious and afraid. We worry we don't measure up, we are
scared of failure and we find it hard to be ourselves. We also feel
powerless watching the world getting messier, angrier and more
unstable. Fear is a limiting factor for many of us and if we don't
challenge it we can find ourselves falling foul of it, and keeping out
more of the good stuff in life than the bad.
With poems such as 'One Day You'll See', 'Growing in Moonlight', 'The
Comparing' and 'Always There', bestselling author Donna Ashworth helps
us to see that no matter how small or afraid we feel, we make the
biggest difference in this world and to our own happiness when we are
brave enough to show up as ourselves.

Are you repeating old patterns in relationships?
Do you struggle to express your boundaries, standards and core values
with your partner?
Want to shift the narrative in your dating life and become the best
version of yourself?
Too often, conversations about toxic relationships have revolved around
them: their choices, their behaviour, their problem. Right?
Wrong.
Loving Me After We is here to set you you straight and help you on your
path to healing. In this warm, encouraging and honest guide,
psychotherapist Ginger Dean will show you:
- How your trauma responses can keep you trapped in the cycle of
toxicity
- Why you choose unavailable but familiar partners
- How you can break free from co-dependency
- What you need to do to move on from the past to create a future
where you can truly thrive
This is your essential handbook to breaking up with toxic relationships
for good, healing from past traumas and moving towards a more joyful
future.
You can’t move past the breakup. You feel stuck in cycles of rumination
and pain.
This helpful guide provides brand-new therapeutic tools to
revolutionise the way we overcome loss, and seek and welcome love,
within and outside of ourselves.
We know heartbreaks are inevitable. We also know that somehow it is
within our power to break free of the suffering and transform pain into
meaning. Yet, somewhere between the sad songs, the late-night
fixations, and the social media stalking, we get lost.
Alice Haddon, psychologist of over twenty-five years, and Ruth Field,
bestselling self-help author, show us how we can dissect heartbreaks,
mine them for strength and live our most empowered life. They also
examine how society sets up women to fall into love traps and engage
bad habits of self-sacrificing and enabling. With Alice and Ruth’s
help, those patterns end forever.
Bursting with compassion, humour and courage, this book will take you
into the actual exercises conducted at the retreat that they run. It
will teach you how to:
- face your deepest hurt without shame or
judgment
- ask for help and lean on the collective
- be kind and forgiving to yourself
- turn your heartbreak into love and pride
Providing you with a clear pathway to recovery,
Alice and Ruth draw on their wealth of professional and personal
experience to help you.
