'A phenomenal book full of wisdom, practical advice and humour to
change your life for the better' Fearne Cotton - Broadcaster,
bestselling author and mental health champion 'What a personal,
thorough and beautiful book from an energetic and insightful
writer. Very accessible and funny.' Russell Brand - Author,
broadcaster, actor, podcaster, columnist and mental health &
drug rehabilitation activist At 47, Amanda Byram is in the shape of
her life, both mentally and physically, but for over two decades
she was trapped in a cycle of yo-yo dieting and self-criticism,
convinced that unless she was 'perfect' she wouldn't be happy or
worthy. By the time she reached her 40th birthday, she was mentally
and physically exhausted ... something had to change. The Switch is
a distillation of all the simple and life-changing techniques, tips
and tricks she used to get herself off the 'perfection treadmill'
once and for all. She shares how to silence the critical internal
voices that hold us back, and how to ditch diets for good and eat
and exercise in a way that will give you power, not problems.
Switch to a balanced lifestyle where food, fitness, family, friends
and self-care are all in sync and discover the happiest and
healthiest version of yourself - a life-changing guide for a lean
and serene future! 'Amanda is a master of emotional reinvention.
Using her own experiences and Switch method she has helped, guided
and supported both those very close to her and those she has never
even met. Amanda has never been afraid to break down the stigmas of
mental health, using her generosity, honesty and wit.' Gok Wan -
Broadcaster and mental health ambassador 'The Switch is a powerful
reminder that being kind to yourself is the first step toward
improving your health, both mental and physical. Thorough,
thought-provoking, and immensely helpful for anyone who wants to
make a positive change in their life-not just their body. I loved
it!' Sarah Knight - Bestselling author of the No F*cks Given Guides
'For anyone serious about making the switch to a healthier mind and
body, this book is an absolute gem. It's packed full of wisdom,
insight and clinically evidenced guidance. Definitely a lifetime
companion.' Owen O'Kane - Bestselling self-help author and
psychotherapist 'It's really really lovely' Alison Curtis, Today FM
'I would highly recommend, it really is good' Colm Hayes, Breakfast
with Colm and Lucy, Radio Nova 'I am really impressed and I've
learned a lot from it' Lucy Kennedy interviewed in Woman's Way 'A
beautiful book. It was an eye-opener into all the ways I'm MANE to
myself and is full of inspiring tips on how to be kinder, written
in a funny, friendly way. Honestly! It's so uplifting.' Marian
Keyes 'It's a really really great book' Maura Derrane, The Today
Show 'Beautiful' Daithi O'Shea, The Today Show
This book critically examines how countries across Europe have
dealt with the COVID crisis from a policing and security
perspective. Across the chapters, contributors from different
countries examine the data, press coverage, and provide
professional observations on how policing, law enforcement, police
powers and community relations were managed. They focus on how
security and governmental actors often failed to align with the
formal scripts that were specifically designed for
crisis-management, resulting in the wavering application of
professional discretion and coercive powers. Their different
approaches were evident: in some regions police were less
dominantly visible compared to other regions, where the police used
a top-down visible and repressive stance vis-a-vis public alignment
with COVID rules, including the imposition of lockdown and curfews.
Some contributors draw on data from the COROPOL (Corona Policing)
Monitor which collated data on crime, plural policing and public
order in Europe and around the world during the early phases of the
COVID crisis. Overall, this book seeks to provide comparative
critical insights and commentary as well as a practical and
operational understanding of security governance during the
COVID-19 crisis and the lessons learned to improve future
preparedness.
