Overcoming Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Concussion Symptoms: A self-help guide using evidence-based techniques (Overcoming Books)
HIGHLY COMMENDED for the British Medical Awards book prize for Popular Medicine
Up to 10% of people will suffer a mild head injury (or ‘mild traumatic brain injury’) in their lifetime and up to 50% of those people will also find they have lingering post-concussion symptoms in the months or years afterwards. These symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, sleep disturbance, reduced day-to-day memory, poor concentration, taking longer to think, ‘muzzy’ headedness, depression, anxiety, tinnitus, blurred or double vision, sensitivity to light or noise, frustration, nausea, restlessness and sensitivity to alcohol. In such circumstances the ‘mild’ head injury may feel anything but mild. This is particularly so if large areas of your day to day life are affected.
People in these circumstances can have their difficulties compounded by the very different explanations for their persisting difficulties. These usually involve receiving contradictory opinions about the extent to which ongoing symptoms are caused by neurological brain injury or other factors.
These complicating factors can make it very difficult to find the right kind of service or expertise after a TBI. Patients can easily feel like they are being ”pushed from pillar to post” when trying to find services that can help with their problems. On top of all of this, there is a distinct lack of good, science- based information for patients about the best ways to manage PCS. It is therefore very common for those who experience prolonged difficulties to find their situation extremely confusing, frustrating and stressful.
Dr Nigel King is an expert with much experience in this area, and has written a very valuable book weaving together the most useful knowledge in this area. It clarifies some of the complex issues for those who suffer with prolonged problems and provides practical, science-based self-help guidance for managing TBI difficulties. Using cognitive rehabilitation techniques and CBT approaches for the associated mental health complications of PCS, this much need book provides help, hope and understanding for what can be a highly disabling and misunderstood condition.

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?
It’s exhausting living with your mind racing around from one dreadful possibility to the next, even when you know logically that a lot of these thoughts are unrealistic or at least unlikely. Logic quite often has nothing to do with it.
It’s thinking that has got you into this mess, and more unhelpful thinking is simply not the answer.
Unfortunately, it can be hard to stop once you get yourself into the spiral of overthinking. Your thoughts can get ahead of you, racing around like runaway trains on the tracks in your head… blocking you from your own mind and distracting you from what really matters.
If you want to take your life back, start feeling better, and live more peacefully, you need to take control and put an end to your overthinking.
In this practical and easy-to-use book, you will discover:
- The best way to calm an overactive mind to keep it from overwhelming you
- How your thoughts create your feelings and decide your reality
- How to make decisions without getting bogged down by analysis paralysis and procrastination
- How to identify what triggers your overthinking so you can catch yourself before it takes over
- How you can stop your overthinking tendencies by replacing them with healthier habits
- Insightful reflection questions to help you understand yourself and what’s going on inside you
- Action steps, exercises, and simple techniques to reduce anxiety, work on your thoughts, and feel better quickly
And much more.
Overthinking can keep you stuck, frozen in place, unable to move forward, and living in an increasingly chaotic mess of fear, paranoia, and self-sabotage.
It can wreck relationships and careers, and create a fearful and limited lifestyle that will always keep you tied in knots… unless you decide to do something different today.
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.

Parkinson’s Disease: An In-depth Metabolic Guide
Over the last ten years there has been a quantum leap in our understanding of the mechanisms which drive Parkinson’s disease. Frustratingly, this new research has not yet managed to infiltrate mainstream medical and public perceptions of the illness, where Parkinson’s disease is still seen purely as a dopamine deficiency condition. It is hoped that this book will give the reader an accessible insight into these exciting new discoveries.
What is becoming clear is that Parkinson’s disease is a complex multi-factorial disease where many ill-functioning aspects of health intersect leading to a failure of dopamine producing neurons. To seek a single cause amongst such complexity is likely to be futile but, hopefully, the themes in this book may help the reader to see the emergent patterns associated with Parkinson’s disease.

Emotional intelligence is now embedded in our public discourse: an idea so pervasive and important in our work, culture, politics and society that leaders such as Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, and New York City mayor Eric Adams have placed it at the heart of what they do.
Daniel Goleman’s bestselling book Emotional Intelligence was the first to coin this idea and bring it to a mass audience. Now, more than a quarter of a century after it was first published, he and Rutgers professor of psychology Cary Cherniss take a fresh look at how emotional intelligence has evolved over the past few decades, reframing its importance in this definitive book.
Beginning with a dissection of what makes for individual success, Goleman and Cherniss then set out how high performance can be cultivated at every level, scaling up the concept to top team performance and outstanding organisations. Building on attributes such as self-awareness, a sense of meaning and emotional balance, high concentration and ‘flow’ states, they demonstrate that it is in our optimal moments that our mental clarity shines.
