Your Head is a Houseboat: A Chaotic Guide to Mental Clarity
‘The most important and accessible mental health book in a generation. Truly life-changing.’ – Osher Günsberg
Your Head is a Houseboat is a uniquely hilarious guide to what goes on in your brain, from illustration sensation Campbell Walker aka Struthless.
The only truth we really know is that we’re going to spend the rest of our lives in our own houseboat (our head) so it makes sense to make that houseboat as good as possible. The houseboat needs cleaning and maintenance, and it shouldn’t be weighed down by junk (our own thoughts and other people’s opinions). It has an unreliable and overworked Sea Captain, and a zoo of animalistic desires below the deck who are really steering. But it’s your houseboat, so it’s probably time for you to cast away and set sail (is that even how houseboats work?) on a journey to understanding it.
In Your Head is a Houseboat, Cam demystifies brain functions, mental health, emotions, mindfulness and psychology – but with less complex terminology and more bizarre metaphors. It’s a book filled with illustrations, journal exercises and words that will probably hit too close to home. At its core, this is a funny, accessible approach to understanding your head and making it a nicer place to live.

There is No Wall: Running won’t save you
There Is No Wall is ultrarunner Allie Bailey’s brutally honest and sometimes shocking account of alcoholism, depression and severe mental breakdowns which almost cost her her life.
Told with disarming vulnerability, heartbreaking depth of feeling and dark humour, this isn’t a story about how running saved her – she was already running and at the height of her struggles sometimes even winning 100-mile-plus races. But somewhere between the darkest excesses of the music industry and the simple beauty of the ultrarunning scene, Allie found space to listen, learn and put into practice techniques that would go on to save her life and change it for the better.
There Is No Wall is a story about how doing something you love can lead you to achieve things you never thought possible. Running won’t save you, but it might buy you the time to save yourself.

Written from your pet’s perspective, every page in this book is full of love and loyalty from beyond the grave. Let the voice of your best friend guide you to the other side of grief. You will never look at life or death the same way again!
Author Kate McGahan brings 35 years of clinical hospice and end-of-life care into this powerful and life-changing book. What will you do when I must leave? How do you prepare? Why do some of us suffer? What happens when we die? Why don’t some people understand? Based on the wisdom and teachings of our favorite four-legged grief counselor, Jack McAfghan, this book is designed to bring comfort and inspiration at your time of personal loss. As the appointed Rainbow Bridge representative, Jack will answer many questions you have asked and many questions you have not yet thought to ask.
Learn the secret language that will help you communicate with your pets no matter where they are. He walks you gently through the five stages of grief. He will prepare you for the inevitable, teach you to make peace with decisions you may ultimately have to make, and help you to understand that the end of this life is not the end of life at all. Learn to face transitions courageously, rid yourself of guilt and blame, find out how much you are deeply loved and strengthen your faith in the fact that life never ends and that love never dies.
When the time comes to grieve the loss of a pet, you are never prepared; it’s never long enough. This little book will help you know how to make the right decisions, how to stay strong in your time of loss, and how to move forward by using the power of your love instead of the limits of your mind.

Say goodbye to sleepless nights, stressed-out days, and the chaos overthinking has been causing in your life
Do you worry about every little thing people say or do around you?
What did they mean? Might you have made a mistake? Are they out to get you? Or have you maybe offended or upset them?
Do self-doubt and second-guessing sabotage you at every turn?
Do you agonize about the past and fret over the future, keeping you from making the most of the present?

Take the first step on the path to self-mastery and personal power, and grow in courage, confidence, and charisma. This practical and relatable guide will take you on a journey with mental freedom from overthinking as the shining prize.

It’s On Me: Embrace Hard Truths, Discover Your Self and Change Your Life
From the existential psychotherapist, USA Today columnist, and creator of the popular Instagram account @millennial.therapist comes a guide to identifying self-loss-one of our greatest unspoken human sufferings: that feeling of being estranged or disconnected from your true Self-so we can answer the most essential question: “Who am I?”
So many of us feel lonely, unfulfilled, or trapped-in our roles and relationships, in cycles of self-sabotage and wrong decisions, by our toxic patterns and misguided attempts to feel happy-or to feel something. Many of us struggle to like the person we see in the mirror. According to Sara Kuburic, it doesn’t have to be so difficult. Really.
Instead of pushing harder or running faster, the secret lies in taking full responsibility for the choices and actions that create our reality. It’s about slowing down, cutting through the clutter of demands and expectation, and finally taking ownership of this person we call our “Self.”
In It’s On Me, Kuburic unpacks “self-loss,” giving us new vocabulary to understand our unarticulated experience, and offers tools she’s used for years to help her clients recover. Self-loss becomes apparent when we feel the pain and emptiness from performing or observing life, rather than living it. Guiding us through the process of self-reflection, acceptance, and discovery, Kuburic proves that we can:
· experience but not feel overpowered by our emotions
· establish a healthy connection to our bodies
· set loving boundaries to define ourselves and heal our relationships
· declutter our physical and mental environments to create space for our true selves to thrive
· find meaning and purpose in a seemingly meaningless worldEye-opening and inspiring, It’s On Me shows how we can stop sleepwalking our way through the lives we don’t want and step into our most vibrant, authentic, and meaningful Self.

A journey through a psychotic breakdown
“A journey through a psychotic breakdown” shatters taboos about coping with mental illness
Written in first-person, ‘A journey through a psychotic breakdown’ by Douglas Gonçalves, tells the moving account of the executive when he faced a psychotic episode that made him a spectator of his own fate and changed his life forever.
São Paulo, December 2022 – In 2004, Douglas Gonçalves, a 34-year-old hotelier from São Paulo, embarked on a personal journey after having a psychotic episode. He now faces the transformations he experienced, shedding light on his memories, his past, his traumas, and untying the plots of destiny.
The book is a memoir about his experience of having a psychotic episode. It is divided into three parts: the first part describes the onset of his psychosis, the second part describes his time in a psychiatric hospital, and the third part describes his recovery, the narrative culminates in the treatments for the disease, through an engaging and dynamic reading free of prejudice.
Throughout the book, Gonçalves writes honestly and openly about his experiences. He does not shy away from describing the difficult and painful aspects of his psychosis, but he also writes about the hope and healing that he found through treatment. The author’s account provokes reflections on the current causes that trigger this disease and demystify the issue. According to medical statistics, one in four people will have mental health problems throughout their lives, which will greatly affect their personal, professional, and social existence.
Spirituality and Health
In the author’s opinion, the narrative aims at warning people who are prone to develop psychotic episodes, and helping families to quickly identify them. It also wishes to alert doctors to a more patient-centred treatment approach: an associative diffusion between spirituality and health, which refers to the relevance of spirituality in the treatment of mental illnesses.
Ancestry and affection
The narrative was written as a journal, in a simple and direct, sometimes humorous style. It highlights challenging moments, as the dramatic experience lived by the author in New York during the September 11 attacks; marriage concerns; familiar conflicts; and professional dilemmas, all leading to the breakdown. Gonçalves offers the reader a moving analysis, so much so in the post-pandemic world.
“When we face crucial situations and repeatedly disrespect the limits of our body, the brain finds ways to “turn us off” through the self-preservation instinct”, the author examines. And he adds: “The journey is individual but enriching. The search for understanding the deeper psychological causes, change in habits, spiritual re-education, acknowledging that nothing happens by chance: these were fundamental factors to reinstate the balance of the biological, psychological and energetic bodies”, he concludes.
“A Journey Through a Psychotic Breakdown”
Honest and raw: The author’s account of his psychotic breakdown is honest and raw, and it provides a unique and personal perspective on mental illness.
Empowering: The author’s journey to recovery is empowering, and it shows that it is possible to overcome mental illness and live a full and meaningful life.
Educating: The book is also educating, and it provides readers with a better understanding of what it is like to experience a psychotic breakdown.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Espaço SER, an ecumenical non-governmental organization, who assists people under emotional distress, personality disorders, depression, chronic anxiety, or other syndrome with self-destructive symptoms and suicidal ideation.

Mad World: The Politics of Mental Health (Outspoken by Pluto)
‘A radical antidote to the constraints of our current conceptualisation of mental health’ Dazed
‘Exposes the underlying truth that capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with our wellbeing, and teaches us how to transform the ways we understand madness, illness, and disability to build a better world’ Beatrice Adler-Bolton, co-author of Health Communism
Mental health is a political issue, but we often discuss it as a personal one. How is the current mental health crisis connected to capitalism, racism and other social issues? In a different world, how might we transform the ways that we think about mental health, diagnosis and treatment?
These are some of the big questions Micha Frazer-Carroll asks as she reveals mental health to be an urgent political concern that needs deeper understanding beyond today’s ‘awareness-raising’ campaigns.
Exploring the history of asylums and psychiatry; the relationship between disability justice, queer liberation and mental health; art and creativity; prisons and abolition; and alternative models of care; Mad World is a radical and hopeful antidote to pathologisation, gatekeeping and the policing of imagination.
Micha Frazer-Carroll is a columnist at the Independent. Micha has written for Vogue, HuffPost, Huck, gal-dem and Dazed. She was nominated for the Comment Awards’ Fresh New Voice of the Year Award, and the Observer/Anthony Burgess Award for Arts Criticism.

FANS OF INDIA KNIGHT’S EXPERT BEAUTY ADVICE WILL NOT STOP THANKING YOU FOR THIS GIFT!
‘India Knight is a LEGEND in the beauty industry. I am OBSESSED with her column because you can trust her to get it right every single time!’ Charlotte Tilbury
With beauty, as with so much else, knowledge is power.
Here’s all of mine.- Why has my favourite eyeliner stopped looking flattering?
- What can I do about the skin on my neck?
- Am I too old for contour? What is contour?
Every week, tens of thousands of women turn to India Knight’s beauty column in the Sunday Times Style Magazine, to be directed to beauty products that really work by someone they can trust – and who understands how much this stuff matters.
It matters because looking, and therefore feeling, like yourself at every stage of life is fundamental.
In this brilliant, essential, reassuring book, India has distilled her beauty wisdom into practical advice for every part of the face and beyond: from tips for thinning lips and thinning hair, to the best skincare for older faces, to the make-up products that really make a difference, to demystifying the scientific jargon beloved by the beauty industry.
If you would rather not use 35 products on your face every morning or watch how-to videos on TikTok, or if you have ever looked in the mirror and found yourself thinking ‘Who is that?’, then India Knight’s Beauty Edit is the book you’ve been waiting for.
It is a glorious and indispensable celebration of how to be old(er) with minimum fuss and a generous helping of grace, confidence and style.
‘Women shouldn’t aim to look younger, they should aim to look better, and India Knight totally gets that. Her beauty advice is solid gold’ Bobbi Brown

The Craving Mind: From Cigarettes to Smartphones to Love – Why We Get Hooked and How We Can Break Bad Habits
A leading neuroscientist and pioneer in the study of mindfulness explains why addictions are so tenacious and how we can learn to conquer them“I found [The Craving Mind] to be one of the best things I’ve read . . . on addiction.”―Ezra Klein, New York Times.
“Accessible and enjoyable. The Craving Mind brilliantly combines the latest science with universal real-life experiences―from falling in love to spending too much time with our phones.”―Arianna Huffington
We are all vulnerable to addiction. Whether it’s a compulsion to constantly check social media, binge eating, smoking, excessive drinking, or any other behaviors, we may find ourselves uncontrollably repeating. Why are bad habits so hard to overcome? Is there a key to conquering the cravings we know are unhealthy for us?
This book provides groundbreaking answers to the most important questions about addiction. Dr. Judson Brewer, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has studied the science of addictions for twenty years, reveals how we can tap into the very processes that encourage addictive behaviors in order to step out of them. He describes the mechanisms of habit and addiction formation, then explains how the practice of mindfulness can interrupt these habits. Weaving together patient stories, his own experience with mindfulness practice, and current scientific findings from his own lab and others, Dr. Brewer offers a path for moving beyond our cravings, reducing stress, and ultimately living a fuller life.Read more

With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall.

How to Deal with Grief, Loss, and Death: A Survivor’s Guide to Coping with Pain and Trauma, and Learning to Live Again (Self Care Mastery Series)
How do you go on living when someone you love has died? How is life ever going to be the same again? How do you find the will to carry on? Is there such a thing as moving on?
Every year millions face the effects of dealing with loss and grief. This can be the result of death, divorce, moving, retirement, or other life events. Since society hasn’t provided effective ways of handling grief, many grievers feel lost and alone.
Grief is a reaction that happens when someone we love or care about dies or leaves. When this happens, a whole host of emotions might overwhelm you. Some of these emotions include feeling sad, angry, confused, or scared. What’s even more frightening is not knowing how to deal with this sudden wave of emotions that have hit you hard like a tsunami.
The pain of losing someone we love cannot be described in words. It feels like your whole world is falling apart. The crushing pain in your chest signals that your heart feels like it is breaking into a million pieces. It feels like the tears will never stop flowing. Your whole world has been turned upside down, and you might even feel like you will never smile again
There is no right or wrong way to deal with the loss of a loved one. The grieving process is challenging, and it’s different for everyone. It’s not just a matter of coping with a loss, but coping with change — and that takes time. Grief is not something that we want to avoid feeling either. Grief is part of our journey and human experience. To fight grief is to fight what’s natural. Instead, let grief guide you to be a more powerful being.
This is why I have written this survivor’s manual. How to Deal With Loss, Grief, and Death is your guide to coping with the loss of a loved one and how to find the will to live again.
This book is for:
- Anyone who has experienced the loss of a child, spouse, or loved one.
- Anyone experiencing grief and having a hard time coping
- Anyone that wants to honor the memory of their loved one
- Anyone who not only wants to better understand their loss but move away from the pain
- Anyone wanting to have despair turned into hope
- You feel stuck or in deep pain after a loss.
- You are wearing a mask pretending that you are fine but are secretly in pain.
- Anyone who wants a better understanding when helping friends or family deal with loss.
- Counselors and grief coaches who want another perspective to help their grieving clients.
In this book, you’ll learn:
- What is grief?
- How is grief expressed?
- How to identify where you are in the grieving process and how to move forward towards healing
- Practical exercises and coping techniques to assist with the grieving process
- Why Self-Care is an essential part of your recovery journey.
- The roadblocks to overcoming grief.
- The power of gratitude.
- How to comfort someone who is grieving
There is no simple way to get over your loss quickly, but with the techniques in this book, your journey towards acceptance and being your old self again is going to be that much easier.

The Miraculous Cure For and Prevention of All Diseases What Doctors Never Learned
If you liked the first best-selling book about Vitamin D3 by this author (300,000+ copies sold-translated into 10 languages), You are going to LOVE this one! If the first book got us to the 50-yard line- this book is a slam-dunk touchdown! The author describes the miraculous new things he has discovered about Vitamin D3 and its vital 5 cofactors from an additional 8 years of research added to the extensive research he did for his first groundbreaking book. This book has at least twice the life-saving information contained in his first book and describes in detail how all autoimmune diseases can now be easily cured without doctors or drugs. How you can virtually bullet proof your health by correcting the 5 deadly deficiencies of the modern age. And the shocking part about this is that doctors in general have no clue as to what is really making us all sick! This information in this book could literally wipe out 90% of the medical industry if everyone adopts its advice. Bold claims to be sure! Unbelievable? -Yes! But overwhelming proof is provided for all the claims! Once you read this book, the blindfold will be lifted and you might laugh and say….”So Simple! Why didn’t I think of that!?”. In this book, cures for every autoimmune disease known to man are described in detail, including a chapter that relates a number of case studies of people who have cured their Multiple Sclerosis with this protocol. And further describes how 100,000+ people all around the world have cured their MS using this simple information. But it doesn’t stop there, cures for many more diseases are described and examples are provided for asthma, psoriasis, COPD, lupus, myasthenia gravis, eczema, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic hives, depression, etc. etc. and even cancer! The bottom line premise is simple; virtually all diseases not caused by old age or genetic mutations are caused by an unfocused immune system. Lazy when it comes to bad actors such as viruses, infectious bacteria, fungi, and newly emergent cancer cells while being hyperactive when confronted with good tissues that should normally not be attacked. The solution? Simply fine tune your immune system to operate correctly, and all these diseases will be a thing of the past. And it is so easy to do. Why don’t doctors know about this? Could it be that it is bad for business or were they just taught incorrectly in med school? Hard to tell. Most diseases are caused by incorrect advice from doctors concerning a hormone that we all make that the author calls the ultimate biologic. This hormone fine tunes 2,700+ genes that control your immune and tissue-remodeling systems. Incorrect advice from many doctors keeps us all from producing enough of this hormone to remain healthy. Another large segment of diseases is caused by modern farming practices that deplete soils of essential cofactors to this hormone that leave approximately 80%+ of us deficient. And doctors basically never test for these deficiencies and know very little about them! Simple neglect and ignorance on the part of health professionals? Impossible you say? Well you will just have to read the book and find out how possible it is!Read more

Who Am I?
‘Powerful and thoughtful’ Don McRae, Guardian
‘A fascinating and incredibly honest insight into the pressurised life of an elite athlete, on and off the pitch’ Piers Morgan
RAW. REVEALING. REFLECTIVE. The candid autobiography.
Danny Cipriani has always been searching for something. On the pitch, it was a line-break or space. A chink of light to dart through. An angle that no one else could see. Off the pitch, it was seeking a path through the pressure, fame and chaos that came with being anointed the ‘Saviour of English Rugby’.
Who Am I? is the raw and powerful memoir of a man of mercurial talent who, with the world at his feet, made his England rugby debut aged 20. A man who, just a year later, contemplated suicide. A man whose safe space was on the field, away from the drink, the women and the drugs he turned to in an attempt to escape his thoughts.
Now, for the first time, one of the most compelling personalities in the sport reflects on who he was, where he’s come from and the man he’s become. Alongside his astute insight into playing under Martin Johnson, Stuart Lancaster and Eddie Jones, Danny also talks about chasing his dreams, his desire and passion to represent England, and his drive to become the best player he could be.
This is the story of a once complicated man. A man searching for answers. A man trying to understand who he is.

Losing My Best Friend: Thoughtful support for those affected by dog bereavement or pet loss
“Remember me with tears and laughter. Remember me though it hurts to do so, because the pain you have is equal to the love we shared. There is no goodbye if you carry me in your heart. Remember all the joy we shared, because there was so much of it for both of us.” Herbie Longfellow Alderdice
Are you a dog owner who is in the process of losing your best friend to illness? Or have you lost your beloved pet and you’re struggling to get over them?
Pet bereavement is tough. Not everyone can, or will, sympathise with you.
After losing her beloved boy Herbie, Jeannie Wycherley found herself lost in grief, struggling to find her way through it.
Too many friends and acquaintances told her she’d ‘get over it’ because he was ‘just a dog’ however, to Jeannie, Herbie was so much more than that. A loving companion. A soulmate. A true character. Her best friend.
She found that the more she articulated her feelings around other pet owners, the more she came to understand just how many of those people had been similarly locked deep in secret mourning for a furry friend. Feelings of guilt, overwhelm, exhaustion—even shame—were common.
And so, she wrote about her experiences. The result, Losing my Best Friend: Thoughtful Support for those Affected by Dog Bereavement or Pet Loss offers practical advice about what to do when your pet passes away, including tips on helping your children or other pets cope with the loss, designing your own ceremony to celebrate your dog’s life, and creating memorials.
In these pages Jeannie Wycherley has created a loving tribute to Herbie and delivers support with a light and loving touch that aims to validate the feelings you’re experiencing.
