 Women Don't Owe You Pretty will tell you to... love sex, hate sexism, protect your goddamn energy, life is short, dump them, and that you owe men nothing, least of all pretty.
 
Florence's debut book will explore all progressive corners of the feminist conversation; from insecurity projection and refusing to find comfort in other women's flaws, to deciding whether to date or dump them, all the way through to unpacking the male gaze and how it shapes our identity.
 
Women Don't Owe You Pretty is an accessible leap into feminism, for people at all stages of their journey who are seeking to reshape and transform the way they view themselves. In a world that tells women we're either not enough or too much, it's time we stop directing our anger and insecurities onto ourselves, and start fighting back to reshape the toxic structures of our patriarchal society.
 
Florence's book will help you to tackle and challenge the limiting narrative you have been bombarded with your whole life, and determine feminism on your own terms.
			
		 
	
	
	
		
			
				
			
	
 We've all had 'that' feeling: when our mood suddenly changes or we
sense an 'atmosphere' on entering a room. There is a distinct
quality that connects these experiences – it's a shift in how we
sense a person or a place, often referred to as a 'vibe'. Vibes
matter because they have the power to change the way we feel and
behave. Garret Yount PhD has been researching the science of
'energy vibes' for over 20 years. In Why Vibes Matter he explains
what can lead us to experience a 'vibe' or a shift in energy and
how to harness their power. Looking at where vibes come from and
how they affect us Garret reviews the research and explains the
science behind our reactions. Practical tools and techniques will
help you attune to your own vibes and learn how to influence them
in the wisest possible way.

 Ten protocols to counteract the “chronic ease” that creates our modern
epidemic of dis-ease, from a wellness industry leader who can prove
they work―because he’s tested them on himself.
 Jeff Krasno, the founder and CEO of the global wellness platform
Commune Media, thought he was pretty healthy. Though he suffered from
brain fog, chronic fatigue, and bouts of insomnia, those symptoms
seemed utterly normal in today’s society. When he learned he had
diabetes, his first thought was, How can that be? I run a wellness
company!
 
 His diagnosis propelled him to interview 300 doctors and engage in
endless “me-search” in order to turn his health around. On this
journey, he began to form a larger picture of what’s wrong with our
health in the modern world. In Good Stress, he shares what he’s learned
and outlines a practical program for readers to reset their own health.
 
 Jeff explains that the comforts and conveniences of modern life in the
developed world undermine our biology. Humans evolved with Paleolithic
stressors and scarcity, which conferred health and resilience.
 
 Modern life sets us up for diabetes, dementia, heart disease, cancer,
and more. Chronic disease is the result of chronic ease: an endless
abundance of calories, sedentary desk jobs, exposure to blue light, and
separation from nature. To come back into balance, we need to
thoughtfully subject our bodies and minds to the stressors we’re
naturally built for.
 
 This book distills the hundreds of conversations that Jeff has had with
acclaimed teachers and practitioners in mind-body wellness, including
Gabor Maté, Mark Hyman, Marianne Williamson, and Sharon Salzberg. In
Good Stress, Jeff gives readers uncommonly wise and relatable guidance
for 10 practices, including:
 
 · Time-restricted eating
 · Cold and heat exposure
 · Light therapy
 · Eating “stressed plants”
 · Building our “psychological immune system” and more
 
 For each practice, Jeff shares his own experience (there’s a great
story of how Wim Hof finally convinced him to get into an ice bath);
unpacks the science behind it, the place it has in our culture, and the
effects it has on body and mind; and explains how to undertake it
safely and mindfully.
 
 
	
	
	
		
			
				
			
	
 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.

 "Remarkable. This profound volume informs and inspires." —PW,
STARRED review From the Pulitzer Prize–winning New York
Times science reporter acclaimed for “bring[ing] scientific
concepts to life†(Bill Gates), a pathbreaking new investigation
into the mysteries of human creativity How does creativity work?
Where does inspiration come from? What are the secrets of our most
revered creators? How can we maximize our creative potential? THIS
IS THE STORY OF HOW WE CREATE. Creativity defines the human
experience. It sparks achievement and innovation in art, science,
technology, business, sports, and virtually every activity. It has
fueled human progress on a global level, but it equally is the
source of profound personal satisfaction for individual creators.
And yet the origins of creative inspiration and the methods by
which great creators tap into it have long been a source of
mystery, spoken of in esoteric terms, our rational understanding
shrouded in complex jargon. Until now. Inspired is a book about the
science of creativity, distilling an explosion of exciting new
research from across the world. Through narrative storytelling,
Richtel marries these findings with timeless insight from some of
the world’s great creators as he deconstructs the authentic
nature of creativity, its biological and evolutionary origins, its
deep connection to religion and spirituality, the way it bubbles in
each of us, urgent and essential, waiting to be tapped. Many of the
questions Richtel addresses are practical: What are the traits of
successful creators? Under which conditions does creativity
thrive? How can we move past creative blocks? The ultimate message
of Inspired is that creativity is more accessible than many might
imagine, as necessary, beautiful, and fulfilling as any essential
part of human nature.
