Let go of perfect and become a transformative, positive influence in a child’s life while creating your own definition of success with this “wisdom-packed guide” from developmental psychologist and podcaster Dr. Aliza Pressman. In the age of high-pressure parenting, when so many of us feel like we’ve got to get everything exactly right the first time, Dr. Aliza Pressman is the compassionate, reassuring expert we all need—and the one whose advice we can all use. Already beloved by listeners of the hit podcast, Raising Good Humans, Dr. Pressman distills it all with a handful of strategies every parent can use to get things right often enough: Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair. The 5 Principles of Parenting doesn’t presume to tell you how to parent with “my way is right” advice because the science is clear: There’s no one “right” way to raise good humans. No matter how you were raised, how your coparent behaves, or how your kids have been parented up until now, The 5 Principles of Parenting offers “accessible advice, reflective tools, and everyday parenting strategies” (Daniel Siegel, MD, New Your Times bestselling author) to chart a manageable course for raising good humans that’s aligned with your own values and with your own children’s unique temperaments. Whether you’re in the trenches with a toddler or a tween (because spoiler alert: the tantrums of childhood mirror the tantrums of adolescence), it’s never too late to learn to use these 5 principles to reparent yourself and help your kids build the resilience they need to thrive. Through practice and normalizing imperfection, along the way you’ll discover the person you’re ultimately raising is yourself. By becoming more intentional people, we become better parents. By becoming better parents, we become better people. Let’s get started.
Saffron: The Age-Old Panacea in a New Light is the first book to detail the functions and effect of saffron in medicinal situations. This book explores the medicinal aspects of saffron and the effect saffron imparts on various diseases of the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, locomotor system, urogenital system, eye, skin, and immune system, along with their mechanism of action. This perpetual bulb found mainly in Asia and Europe, Iran, India and Mediterranean countries has been shown to reduce seizures, delay convulsions, and as a neuroprotective agent against cerebral ischemia, brain damage, and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In addition, it also reduces depression, hypnosis and anxiety and enhances learning and memory skills.
In 2011 a property in the Midlands in South Africa that contained a rundown motel went on sale. Rumours were that it would become a truck stop and would start renting out rooms by the hour. That was until entrepreneur Iain Buchan, who owned the neighbouring farm, and his wife, Carol, stepped in. The Buchans created a wedding venue by building a small dam with a rustic chapel on its banks, but the couple yearned for more. They had been dazzled by the grand gardens they had seen on their travels and decided to transform the green grasslands into something spectacular. Landscaper Tim Steyn was asked to draw up plans and they were about to break ground when the pandemic broke out. A man of endless action, Iain pressed on and persuaded the staff of the wedding venue to help. Waiters began swinging picks, housekeepers dug beds and one chef became a master of irrigation. Four years on an audacious, magical garden has been rendered from the fertile Midlands soil. Iain Buchan thinks nothing of gouging grottoes and running brooks out of the hillside or moving trees around like a giant in a Grimm’s fairy tale. Today Brahman Hills boasts a moat, a grotto, a magnificent sculpture garden, water features, paths and 16 beehives that are works of art. The gardens at Brahman Hills are so spectacular they caught the attention of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in the United Kingdom, which selected it as a Partner Garden in 2023. It then went on to win the RHS Regional Winner award for that year.

A book that changes everything - from the legendary Dr Gabor Maté. Western countries invest billions in healthcare, yet mental illness and chronic diseases are on a seemingly unstoppable rise. Nearly 70% of Americans are now on prescription drugs. So what is 'normal' when it comes to health? Over four decades of clinical experience, renowned physician and addiction expert Dr Gabor Maté has seen how health systems neglect the role that trauma exerts on our bodies and our minds. Medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today's culture stresses our bodies, burdens our immune systems and undermines emotional balance. Now, in his most ambitious and urgent book yet, Dr Maté connects the dots between our personal suffering and the pressures of modern-day living - with disease as a natural reflection of a life spent growing further and further apart from our true selves. But, with deep compassion, he also shows us a pathway to health and healing. Filled with stories of people in the grip of illness or in the triumphant wake of recovery, this life-affirming book, co-written with his son Daniel, proves true health is possible - if we are willing to reconnect with each other and our authentic selves.
