While growing older is inevitable, many of the troubles we
associate with aging--including dementia, disability, and an
increased dependence on others--are not. The choices we make now
can help us to maintain our vitality, a sharp mind, and our
independence as we age. Filled with simple, everyday actions we can
take to avoid disease, promote vitality, and prevent dementia and
late onset Alzheimer's, The Aging Brain is an easy-to-use guide to
maintaining brain and body health throughout our lives. Based on
solid, up-to-date scientific research, the interventions explained
in this book not only prevent progression toward dementia even in
those who have already shown mild cognitive impairment, they also
reduce disability and depression and keep people living
independently longer than those who do not practice these methods.
For anyone hoping to slow the aging process, as well as anyone who
acts as a caregiver to someone at risk of or already beginning to
suffer from dementia and other age-related diseases, this book
offers a hopeful, healthy way forward.

THE classic work about making the complicated simple from the
world-renowned writer and philosopher Edward de Bono From confusing
manuals to uninterpretable jargon and bureaucratic red-tape, modern
life can be highly complicated and frustrating. For many of us it
is almost impossible to make sense of. In Simplicity,
lateral-thinking guru Edward de Bono shows us how to bring clarity
into our increasingly complicated lives. Through his ten rules of
simplicity, he encourages us to be creative and break down the
complex into manageable and recognisable parts. By making the
complicated simple, you will free up time, reduce stress and make
better decisions.
'GeniusX: Business Intelligence' presents established guidelines to
help you understand your inner self as well as those around you
across a variety of situations. Positive thinking, critical
decision-making, personnel selection, ways of life and customised
methods for business operations are presented via the concept of
people categorisations of which Cognitive Neuroscience lists six
types; Game Changes, Entrepreneurs, Networkers, Informationists,
Uniques and Sharers. We are able to learn about people if we can
unlock the diverse decision-making processes that take place in
their brains. Once we understand the inner workings, we can rectify
problems and deal with all types of people and situations. Knowing
the unique working styles of individuals allows you to build
success at work, and enjoyment in your personal life at your own
pace.
It is common knowledge that the way we think profoundly affects our
health and happiness. As Tibetan Bon culture has known for
centuries, true, original thought is one of the most powerful
energy resources that we each have, and tapping into it can bring
us great spiritual, emotional and financial success. But, as
Christopher Hansard - leading authority in Tibetan medicine -
explains, most of us don't know how to think effectively. What we
imagine to be thoughts are simply reactions to our environment and
to other people, and are far removed from 'original thought', which
has the power to transform lives. In this enlightening book,
Hansard shows us how to take control of our thinking. Using simple
meditations and exercises he shows how we can each harness the
power of positive thinking to block negativity, transform emotions,
and discover the deepest meaning of our lives, to make it the life
we truly want to live.

If reason is what makes us human, then why do we humans often
behave so irrationally? Taking us from desert ants to Aristotle,
cognitive psychologists Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber explore how
our 'flawed superpower' of reason works, how it doesn't, and how it
evolved to help us develop as social beings. 'Original and
provocative ... likely to have a big impact on our understanding of
ourselves' Steven Pinker 'Brilliant, elegant and compelling ...
turns reason's weaknesses into strengths, arguing that its supposed
flaws are actually design features that work remarkably well ... A
timely and necessary book' Julian Baggini, Financial Times 'Hugo
Mercier and Dan Sperber have solved one of the most important and
longstanding puzzles in psychology' Jonathan Haidt 'Reason is more
likely to confirm things that we want to be true, or which we
already believe. So why does it exist? This book provides the
answer' Alex Dean, Prospect
The visual journal is a simple hand-bound notebook in which to
create, using mixed media techniques, works that serve as an

freedom, and the sparking of passion. “Visual Journey

how to master the seven elements in your journal. There are many
fun exercises and a step-by-step tutorial of how to start a simple
journal. Next you will learn how to make a soul page in a
step-by-step process with the seven elements. You will explore a

your pages. You will learn to build your journal and how to bind it
into a finished book. Throughout the book and in the final section,
you'll see and find the meanings in Rakefet's stunning private art
journal pages and read her stories behind them.
