At Pamela’s down-to-earth fairy kingdom on Vancouver Island, you’ll join her on the dock for chicory dandelion coffee and whipped cranberry porridge, for picnics in the forest with a green goddess mason jar salad and tomato galette, and at the dinner table for her anti-inflammatory lentil soup, minty pea-potato pierogis, and more. She also shares her love affair with bread, from maple-glazed cinnamon rolls to rustic sourdough loaves and fougasse dipped in herby pistou, alongside insights into life, love, entertaining guests, and preserving nature’s bounty.

"So here I am, at a psychiatric hospital, looking for myself in a building I’ve never been in before. A few nights ago, I was ready to rid myself of myself. I still am, only, in a different way. This time, I want to do away with what I hope will soon be my former self. I don’t know what is wrong with me, I never have. All I know is that my head is clouded with loud voices screaming in different frequencies; none of them making sense. With only a stony face to hide it all behind, and a pained smile to offer my friends and colleagues." Patient 12A is Lesedi Molefi’s absorbing memoir, reflecting on his time spent in a psychiatric clinic in 2016. With vulnerability and candour, Lesedi reflects on the moments, large and small, that led him here. It is at once a personal history, an observation of how childhood experiences can have a profound effect on the adults we become, and a commentary on how mental illness remains a difficult conversation in black families. But more than anything, Patient 12A is Lesedi’s attempt to filter out the noise in his head to find the truth, however uncomfortable that may be.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of the international
phenomenon Surrounded by Idiots.
A finalist for the 2023 National Book Critics Circle Award. Winner of the Women's Prize for Nonfiction. What if you woke up one morning and found you’d acquired another self―a double who was almost you and yet not you at all? What if that double shared many of your preoccupations but, in a twisted, upside-down way, furthered the very causes you’d devoted your life to fighting against? Not long ago, the celebrated activist and public intellectual Naomi Klein had just such an experience―she was confronted with a doppelganger whose views she found abhorrent but whose name and public persona were sufficiently similar to her own that many people got confused about who was who. Destabilized, she lost her bearings, until she began to understand the experience as one manifestation of a strangeness many of us have come to know but struggle to define: AI-generated text is blurring the line between genuine and spurious communication; New Age wellness entrepreneurs turned anti-vaxxers are scrambling familiar political allegiances of left and right; and liberal democracies are teetering on the edge of absurdist authoritarianism, even as the oceans rise. Under such conditions, reality itself seems to have become unmoored. Is there a cure for our moment of collective vertigo? Naomi Klein is one of our most trenchant and influential social critics, an essential analyst of what branding, austerity, and climate profiteering have done to our societies and souls. Here she turns her gaze inward to our psychic landscapes, and outward to the possibilities for building hope amid intersecting economic, medical, and political crises. With the assistance of Sigmund Freud, Jordan Peele, Alfred Hitchcock, and bell hooks, among other accomplices, Klein uses wry humor and a keen sense of the ridiculous to face the strange doubles that haunt us―and that have come to feel as intimate and proximate as a warped reflection in the mirror. Combining comic memoir with chilling reportage and cobweb-clearing analysis, Klein seeks to smash that mirror and chart a path beyond despair. Doppelganger asks: What do we neglect as we polish and perfect our digital reflections? Is it possible to dispose of our doubles and overcome the pathologies of a culture of multiplication? Can we create a politics of collective care and undertake a true reckoning with historical crimes? The result is a revelatory treatment of the way many of us think and feel now―and an intellectual adventure story for our times.
Author Chantal Lascaris asks the question: who doesn’t love junk food?
Whether we are upfront about it or it’s an occasional guilty pleasure,
let’s be honest, we all do. Those cravings will hit us and there’s
nothing quite like the thrill and comfort of yielding to the
temptation. But what if we didn’t have to feel quite so guilty? |

We Who Wrestle With God

Jordan B. Peterson

|
Ships in 5 - 10 working days | |
The revolutionary new offering from Jordan B. Peterson, renowned
psychologist and author of the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life
In We Who Wrestle with God, Jordan Peterson guides us through the
ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, analyzing the
Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering and triumph that
stabilize, inspire and unite us, culturally and psychologically. Adam
and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately
murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah, the
spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible
adventure, and the epic of Moses and the Israelites: What could such
stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them, over the
long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together,
and point us in the same direction?
It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and
spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our
societies – to see ourselves and others as if for the first time.
Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own
conscience, and Jonah, confronting hell itself, in the belly of the
whale, because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in
intent, aim and purpose, as you begin to more deeply understand the
structure of your society and your soul. Journey with Jordan Peterson
through the greatest stories ever told.
Dare to wrestle with God.

Jordan Stephens

R406 Discovery Miles 4 060 | Ships in 12 - 17 working days | |
Someone once asked me how I'd want to be remembered. I said, 'As the
boy who grew.'
Love is a gift, isn't it? From our early childhood years to growing up
and pairing off, it's a feeling we chase knowing we're better off with
it. But what if love is claustrophobic and conflicting? And what if at
the same time we're chasing addictions to drugs, drink, sex and chaos?
Diagnosed twice with ADHD, Jordan Stephens found his teens and twenties
a whirl of career success and nurturing friendships but also a brutal
pattern of self-harm, hedonism, destructive coping mechanisms and
heartbreak. When he tried to live up to his own damaged expectations
and his world exploded, he stepped away from his previous existence
completely and allowed himself to explore the pain he'd repressed his
entire life.
Unsparingly digging into the fear, tenderness and trauma he carried in
his body and mind, and the confusing assumptions of what a young man
should be, Jordan Stephens discovers what it means to be a modern man,
why we should all open ourselves up to life, and how the price we pay
for love in all its forms is worth it.

Daniel Levitin

|
Ships in 5 - 10 working days | |
From the bestselling author of This Is Your Brain on Music and The Organized Mind, a surprising and inspiring exploration of the healing power of music.
We are only just beginning to appreciate the healing power of music. In recent years, a wave of scientific research has upended everything we once knew about its effects on our brains: not only in reducing stress, but also in enhancing cognitive function, slowing the spread of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, even strengthening our immune systems.
Here, a neuroscientist and celebrated musician introduces a bold new paradigm for medical treatment, rooted in the unexpected influence of music on our minds and bodies. From explaining how ‘rhythmic auditory stimulation’ can fight multiple sclerosis, to examining why Tracy Chapman’s songs might just help cure PTSD, Professor Daniel Levitin offers surprising insights into the new science of music as medicine.
Along the way, he explores how each of us can use music to calm our thoughts, repair our memories and heal our deepest psychological wounds. The result is both a surprising tour through the science of music, and a joyful celebration of humanity’s oldest obsession.
