"A warm, profound and cleareyed memoir. . . this wise and
sympathetic book's lingering effect is as a reminder that a deeper
and more companionable way of life lurks behind our self-serious
stories."-Oliver Burkeman, New York Times Book Review A remarkable
exploration of the therapeutic relationship, Dr. Mark Epstein
reflects on one year's worth of therapy sessions with his patients
to observe how his training in Western psychotherapy and his
equally long investigation into Buddhism, in tandem, led to greater
awareness-for his patients, and for himself For years, Dr. Mark
Epstein kept his beliefs as a Buddhist separate from his work as a
psychiatrist. Content to use his training in mindfulness as a
private resource, he trusted that the Buddhist influence could, and
should, remain invisible. But as he became more forthcoming with
his patients about his personal spiritual leanings, he was
surprised to learn how many were eager to learn more. The divisions
between the psychological, emotional, and the spiritual, he soon
realized, were not as distinct as one might think. In The Zen of
Therapy, Dr. Epstein reflects on a year's worth of selected
sessions with his patients and observes how, in the incidental
details of a given hour, his Buddhist background influences the way
he works. Meditation and psychotherapy each encourage a willingness
to face life's difficulties with courage that can be hard to
otherwise muster, and in this cross-section of life in his office,
he emphasizes how therapy, an element of Western medicine, can in
fact be considered a two-person meditation. Mindfulness, too, much
like a good therapist, can "hold" our awareness for us-and allow us
to come to our senses and find inner peace. Throughout this deeply
personal inquiry, one which weaves together the wisdom of two
worlds, Dr. Epstein illuminates the therapy relationship as
spiritual friendship, and reveals how a therapist can help patients
cultivate the sense that there is something magical, something
wonderful, and something to trust running through our lives, no
matter how fraught they have been or might become. For when we
realize how readily we have misinterpreted our selves, when we stop
clinging to our falsely conceived constructs, when we touch the
ground of being, we come home.

'Addictive and illuminating' Dr Saliha Mahmood Ahmed From a
world-leading microbiome scientist and surgeon with over two
decades of experience comes Dark Matter - the definitive book on
the science of the microbiome and how unlocking its potential can
protect our health, our immunity and our planet. Why are we living
longer, but not happier? The microbiome - our inner ecosystem of
viruses, bacteria and other microbes - is critically important to
our health and wellbeing. It is given to us by our mothers at
birth, adapts with us as we age, influences our moods, determines
how fast we run and even who we choose as a partner. Yet it is only
now, as we are beginning to discover the microbiome's enormous
potential, that we are realising it is in grave danger, being
irrevocably destroyed through the globalisation of our diets, the
war on bugs and the industrialised world. But we can look to
reverse this damage. Drawing on cutting-edge research and years of
clinical experience, Kinross shows how to unpack the microbiome's
secrets, explaining that if we work with, not against, our
microbes, we can live better, healthier lives.
Your brain is always listening and responding to these hidden
influences and unless you recognize and deal with them, they can steal
your happiness, spoil your relationships, and sabotage your health.

overweight, overwhelmed, and an underachiever;

wealth, and relationships;
- Scheming Dragons, advertisers and social media sites that
steal your attention.
In Your Brain Is Always Listening, Dr. Daniel Amen shows you how to
recognize harmful dragons and gives you the weapons to vanquish them.
With these practical tools, you can stop feeling sad, mad, nervous, or
out of control and start being happier, calmer, and more in control of
your own destiny.
'This book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can
be prevented with proper nutrition' - His Holiness the Dalai Lama
The international bestseller, Dr Michael Greger's How Not To Die
gives effective, scientifically-proven nutritional advice to
prevent our biggest killers - including heart disease, breast
cancer, prostate cancer, high blood pressure and diabetes - and
reveals the astounding health benefits that simple dietary choices
can provide. Why rely on drugs and surgery to cure you of
life-threatening disease when the right decisions can prevent you
from falling ill to begin with? Based on the latest scientific
research, How Not To Die examines each of the most common diseases
to reveal what, how and why different foods affect us, and how
increasing our consumption of certain foods and avoiding others can
dramatically reduce our risk of falling sick and even reverse the
effects of disease. It also shares Dr Greger's 'Daily Dozen' - the
twelve foods we should all eat every day to stay in the best of
health. With emphasis on individual family health history and
acknowledging that everyone needs something different, Dr Michael
Greger offers practical dietary advice to help you live longer,
healthier lives. 'Dr Michael Greger reveals the foods that will
help you live longer' - Daily Mail
