The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Proven Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind
In this pioneering, practical book for parents, neuroscientist Daniel J. Siegel and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson explain the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. Different parts of a child’s brain develop at different speeds and understanding these differences can help you turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child’s brain and raise calmer, happier children.
Featuring clear explanations, age-appropriate strategies and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child will help your children to lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives using twelve key strategies, including:
Name It to Tame It: Corral raging right-brain behavior through left-brain storytelling, appealing to the left brain’s affinity for words and reasoning to calm emotional storms and bodily tension.
Engage, Don’t Enrage: Keep your child thinking and listening, instead of purely reacting.
Move It or Lose It: Use physical activities to shift your child’s emotional state.
Let the Clouds of Emotion Roll By: Guide your children when they are stuck on a negative emotion, and help them understand that feelings come and go.
SIFT: Help children pay attention to the Sensations, Images, Feelings, and Thoughts within them so that they can make better decisions and be more flexible.
Connect Through Conflict: Use discord to encourage empathy and greater social success.Read more

The Wuhan Cover-Up: And the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race (Children’s Health Defense)
“RFK Jr. exposes the decades of lies.”–Luc Montagnier, Nobel laureateFrom the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of The Real Anthony Fauci comes an explosive exposé of the cover-up behind the true origins of COVID-19.
“Gain-of-function” experiments are often conducted to deliberately develop highly virulent, easily transmissible pathogens for the stated purpose of developing preemptive vaccines for animal viruses before they jump to humans. More insidious is the “dual use” nature of this research, specifically directed toward bioweapons development.
The Wuhan Cover-Up pulls back the curtain on how the US government’s increase in biosecurity spending after the 2001 terror attacks set in motion a plan to transform the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the direction of Dr. Anthony Fauci, into a de facto Defense Department agency.
While Dr. Fauci zealously funded and pursued gain-of-function research, concern grew among some scientists and government officials about the potential for accidental or deliberate release of weaponized viruses from labs that might trigger worldwide pandemics. A moratorium was placed on this research, but true to form, Dr. Fauci found ways to continue unperturbed–outsourcing some of the most controversial experiments offshore to China and providing federal funding to Wuhan Institute of Virology’s (WIV’s) leading researchers for gain-of-function studies in partnership with the Chinese military and the Chinese Communist Party.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s meticulously researched and rigorously sourced analysis leads readers on a staggering journey to learn about:
- the key enablers and henchmen pushing for gain-of-function research
- the economic motives behind gain-of-function research
- successfully engineered “chimeric viruses” that can infect and kill humans
- the coordinated effort to silence speculation of COVID-19’s laboratory genesis
- the complicity of scientific journals to hide the origins of COVID-19
- the role of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China’s biowarfare/biodefense program
- the relationships between US health, military, and intelligence bureaucracies and scientists and their Chinese counterparts
- the roles of Bill Gates and Sir Jeremy Farrar in orchestrating a global cover-up
The Wuhan Cover-Up unveils a global conspiracy of epic proportion and lethal consequence.

The Year I Met My Brain: A travel companion for adults who have just found out they have ADHD
Matilda Boseley’s adult ADHD diagnosis was a massive, earth-shattering event. She was given a prescription but had no idea what ADHD meant for her identity, her relationships or her future.

The Year I Met My Brain is the ultimate travel companion for navigating and enjoying life as an ADHD adult, covering: – what adult ADHD symptoms look like – why so many ADHDers (especially females) are missed as kids – how the disorder impacts our relationships, careers and self-esteem – why we unfairly treat ourselves like failures – and how to find self-forgiveness and healing – practical tips for social and organisational wins – and, most importantly, how to make our lives work to fit our brains rather than trying to force our brains to fit our lives. Uplifting, empowering, deeply researched and sparkling with a-ha moments, The Year I Met My Brain is an invaluable resource for ADHDers and those who love them.Read more

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.

Things that annoy me by Ruby Brady: Comic diary of a modern teenager dealing with her annoying parents (Ruby Brady Diaries)
** Suitable for Young Adults, Old Adults & Older Teens -NB: contains some swearing **
Ruby Brady is a typical modern teenager, surgically attached to her mobile phone, who is attempting to navigate her way through a social media-dominated world .. and she has plenty to be annoyed about. … She has a mother going through a spiritual awakening, endlessly searching for inner peace whilst counting down the hours to wine o’clock, and endlessly comparing her life to others on the internet. There is her hipster-hating stepdad, who constantly rants about millennials and vegans whilst harbouring delusions of rock stardom. Ruby’s journal follows her day-to-day life over 18 months starting in 2017, in a political landscape defined by Brexit and Trump. She faces the complexities of home life, friendships and school and attempts to understand her embarrassing parents and explain the modern world to her grandparents. A very lighthearted look at modern life in a time of Facebook, Instagram and Reality TV. It follows three generations of a family, as they all try to understand each other’s language use, interests and differences, all seen through the eyes of a teenage girl.Read more

This autistic girl went to Japan: And you won’t believe what happened next (Bianca Toeps’ books)
When Bianca Toeps first set foot in Japan in 2008, she just knew: “I’m going to live here someday.” Flash forward 15 years, and she’s finally traded her tiny apartment in the Netherlands for an even tinier one in Tokyo. But it wasn’t always easy. Between that first visit and now, Toeps was diagnosed with autism at age 26, suffered several burnouts, and switched careers a time or two (or three) before becoming a web developer and a best-selling author. And just when she was all set for the big move, the pandemic derailed everything.
Why Japan? What makes it so appealing to someone with autism? Hint: it’s not the anime. And isn’t Tokyo way too busy and chaotic for an autistic person? Nope. Has Toeps found her ikigai yet? “Ugh, that’s for old people!”
If you’re looking for profound life lessons based on a random Japanese word that westerners have imbued with more significance than most Japanese people do, you won’t find them in this book. No juicy descriptions of “strange” subcultures, either, because despite what you see on TV, most people in Japan are totally normal. So what is this book about? It’s the inspiring story of an autistic woman who learns to deal with her own challenges (well, most of them anyway). With warmth and humor, she describes what it’s like to move halfway around the world, to a place where certain things are actually a bit easier for autistic folks. Except for revenue stamps. And bank accounts. And faxes.

To Root & To Rise: Accepting Brain Injury
An inspiring, interactive book and workbook to help brain injury survivors and caregivers navigate grief and loss, find their strengths and move forward with a changed life.
As a brain injury survivor herself, author Carole Starr knows the depth of grief and loss of self that accompany brain injury, the challenge of coping with symptoms that are misunderstood by many and the peace that can come from accepting a new life and a new self. Carole describes the journey in a way that survivors, caregivers and professionals can relate to and learn from.
Tips and strategies include:
- Recognizing what acceptance is/isn’t and why it’s important for brain injury survivors
- Getting through the challenging first year after brain injury
- Moving past denial
- Coping with the loss of one’s old life and sense of self
- Creating a new life as a brain injury survivor
- Documenting and celebrating progress
- Responding to insensitive comments by others
- Finding something positive in the negative that is brain injury
- Letting go of the past and moving forward
Knowing that many survivors struggle with reading and remembering what they read, Carole made the chapters in To Root & To Rise short. The font size in the print version is larger than average, to improve readability. There are also spaces between each paragraph, to reduce the overwhelmed feeling that can come from looking at too much text.
To Root & To Rise is also a workbook, with optional questions in each chapter that encourage readers to take Carole’s strategies and apply them to their own experience. These questions can be answered on one’s own, with family members, with rehabilitation professionals, or with a brain injury support group.
To Root & To Rise is a unique resource for anyone living with a traumatic brain injury, post-concussion syndrome, stroke, brain tumor or other brain trauma, for family caregivers and friends of brain injury survivors, for brain injury support groups and for medical and neuro-rehabilitation professionals.

Treating Ankle Sprains and Strains: Complete with Prevention and Rehabilitation Strategies: Volume 1 (The Physical Therapy Advisor’s Guide)
HAVE YOU EVER INJURED YOUR ANKLE AND ICED IT LIKE YOU’RE “SUPPOSED TO,” AND THEN LATER DOWN THE ROAD YOU RE-INJURE IT YET AGAIN?
Yes! Ankle sprains and strains are a common everyday occurrence and even the mildest of sprains can temporarily affect your training and mobility. A sprain/strain can lead to chronic issues and loss of performance later in life when not properly cared for and managed. Severe cases can lead to lengthy rehabilitation and even surgery.

In Treating Ankle Sprains and Strains, you will learn how to confidently self-treat in order to resume your training and normal activities without the risk of additional damage, injury or re-injury.

Turn Your Life Into Art: Lessons in Psychomagic from the San Francisco Underground
Over 30 years, San Francisco’s underground art scene developed techniques to create magical, impossible, life-changing experiences. Today big corporations are trying to figure out how to spend millions of dollars to do what these artists and anti-artists did using nothing but time, space, and imagination. It was “a movement without a manifesto,” with people discovering how it worked through trial and error. Very little was written down – until now. Caveat Magister, widely seen as one of the leading voices of Burning Man’s philosophy, has written this book to explain what these experiences were, why they worked, and how you can create your own.
You Will Learn:
- What “psychomagical” experiences are, and why they can have such a powerful transformative effect
- Why rag-tag groups of weirdo artists have been so good at peak experience design, and why wealthy corporations filled with equally talented people have done so poorly
- Where “magical art” connects with the work of Jung and the Humanistic psychologists to support personal development and mental health
- How to create experiences that go beyond design and seem impossible – until you experience them yourself

Unbreakable: Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2023
AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023
‘Reading this is like watching an O’Sullivan break: hypnotic, dazzling and impossible to tear yourself away from.’ – STEPHEN FRY
‘Besides quite a few laughs, many readers will find recognition, reassurance, remedy and revelation in O’Sullivan’s candid story. I highly recommend it.’ – THE TIMES
‘Ronnie is searingly honest, candidly funny, and thought provokingly brilliant in Unbreakable. I devoured it.’ – NIHAL ARTHANAYAKE
—
In a career spanning over three decades, Ronnie O’Sullivan’s journey to becoming the greatest snooker player of all time has been filled with extremes.
A teenage snooker prodigy, Ronnie turned professional with the highest of expectations. This pressure, together with a challenging personal life, catapulted Ronnie into a life of excess and addiction. He was winning titles – his first within a year of turning professional – but losing himself and his game as he tried to block out the mental pain and misery. Whilst Ronnie appeared at the height of the game to spectators, these were the moments when he felt at his lowest.
In the year 2000 Ronnie started rehab and began the journey to get his life back, addressing his demons and working on developing a stronger and more resilient mindset. More than twenty years on, Ronnie is still obsessed with delivering his peak performance and never happier than when in a snooker hall, but success has now taken on a new meaning for the record-equalling world champion.
Framed around the many lessons Ronnie has learned from his extraordinary career, Unbreakable takes us beyond the success and record-breaking achievements to share the reality – and brutality – of making it to the very top, whatever your field. Ronnie is the first to say he doesn’t have all the answers, but in sharing the experiences that have shaped him and mistakes that have made him, he hopes to help readers navigate their own personal challenges and obstacles, and in turn reach their maximum potential.
This is Ronnie O’Sullivan as you’ve never seen him before, the definitive and unflinching story of a true British icon and a fascinating insight into the mindset of the world’s greatest snooker player.
