    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.

    The bestselling self-published phenomenon addressing our urgent need for self-love in the world today.

    Now expanded with new reader oriented lessons, and a powerful and transformative personal story of the practice in action.

    Kamal Ravikant knows misery well. In 2011, the company Kamal had spent the last ten years of his life nurturing and growing, suddenly and embarrassingly went under. He experienced a profound depression, the kind that made him physically ill and bedridden. The only source of light in this darkest moment was a meditation, a chant that came to him and provided the only source of comfort he could muster: I love myself.

    Kamal began his transformational journey by repeating this over and over to himself. I love myself. I love myself. I love myself. Even when he didn’t believe it (especially when he didn’t believe it). This meditation grew in the form of a system of tools for keeping him positive, balanced, and moving forward. Kamal’s spiritual healing changed his physical and emotional states, and his entire person shifted for the better.

    Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It is the powerful story of Kamal’s radical self-growth journey and his specific practice for readers. Dynamic, vulnerable, page-turning and ultimately lifechanging, these pages hold a universal appeal for anyone who has ever struggled to get out of bed in the morning or smile through profound sadness.

  • Moral Injury: A Handbook for Military Chaplains

    Moral Injury (MI) is a term used to describe a constellation of persistent symptoms that result from transgressing moral and ethical boundaries. This is a condition that often occurs in the setting of severe trauma, affecting the perpetrator, the observer, the victim, or all three. MI involves painful and often disabling emotions that are manifested by psychological, spiritual, and religious symptoms. There is some overlap in symptoms with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which MI often occurs alongside of — yet there is growing evidence that these two conditions are distinct, both of which need treatment. Failure to recognize this may result in protracted and unsuccessful treatments for PTSD.

    During combat operations Service Members may be involved in killing other human beings, committing violence to others (including de-humanizing or plundering the enemy), witnessing moral transgressions by others (especially by leaders), being placed in morally compromising positions, being the victim or perpetrator of rape or torture, or exposure to severe trauma of other types. These behaviors are often followed either immediately or sometime afterwards by distressing emotions such as guilt, shame, loss of meaning, difficulty trusting, spiritual struggles, and loss of religious faith, symptoms that may lead to or worsen other mental disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use disorders, and family/relationship problems. As a result, MI is recognized as one of the five stress outcomes noted in the Consensus Recommendation for Common Data Elements for Operational Stress Research and Surveillance report by the U.S. Armed Forces and Veterans Administration (VA) experts. “Case identification” of MI was one of seven core components of the mental health intervention spectrum noted in that report.

    We believe that military chaplains are those best suited to address MI among active-duty Service Members, in terms of prevention, identification, and treatment. In this book, we provide information for military chaplains about the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of MI that will be particularly helpful in preparing them for this critical responsibility. We believe that the readiness of our warriors for combat operations is dependent on the role that military chaplains play in this regard. MORAL INJURY: A HANDBOOK FOR MILITARY CHAPLAINS, extensively referenced and scientifically grounded on the latest research, is designed to equip chaplains with the knowledge and tools that they will need to accomplish this mission.

  • Mind The Gap: The truth about desire and how to futureproof your sex life

    06

    ‘This book taught me so much about female desire. A must read!’ Cherry Healey

    Did you know that there is an orgasm gap of around 30% between heterosexual couples when they have sex?

    In Mind The Gap, Dr Karen Gurney, a clinical psychologist and certified psychosexologist, explores not just this gap, but the gaps in our knowledge of so much of the most important new science around sex and desire.

    In this book, you will learn that nearly everything that you’ve been led to believe about female sexuality isn’t actually true. And that, despite what you might think, it is possible to simultaneously feel little to no spontaneous desire and have a happy and mutually satisfying sex life long term.

    Exploring the mismatch between ideas about sex in our society and what the science tells us, Mind The Gap also explains how this disconnect lies at the root of many of our sexual problems.

    Combining science with case studies, practical exercises and tips, this is a book for anyone who wants to better understand the mechanics of desire and futureproof their sex life, for life.

  • Grayson Perry: Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Girl

    04

    Every inch of Grayson’s childhood bedroom was covered with pictures of aeroplanes, and every surface with models. Fantasy took over his life, in a world of battles ruled by his teddy bear, Alan Measles. He grew up. And in 2003, an acclaimed ceramic artist, he accepted the Turner Prize as his alter-ego Clare, wearing his best dress, with a bow in his hair.

    Now he tells his own story, his voice beautifully caught by his friend, the writer Wendy Jones. Early childhood in Chelmsford, Essex is a rural Eden that ends abruptly with the arrival of his stepfather, leading to constant swerving between his parents’ houses, and between boys’ and women’s clothes. But as Grayson enters art college and discovers the world of London squats and New Romanticism, he starts to find himself. At last he steps out as a potter and transvestite.

  • The Invisible Orientation: An Introduction to Asexuality * Next Generation Indie Book Awards Winner in LGBT *

    Lambda Literary Award 2014 Finalist in LGBT Nonfiction

    Foreword Reviews’ INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award 2014 Finalist in Family & Relationships

    Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2015 Winner in LGBT

    What if you weren’t sexually attracted to anyone?

    A growing number of people are identifying as asexual. They aren’t sexually attracted to anyone, and they consider it a sexual orientation—like gay, straight, or bisexual.

    Asexuality is the invisible orientation. Most people believe that “everyone” wants sex, that “everyone” understands what it means to be attracted to other people, and that “everyone” wants to date and mate. But that’s where asexual people are left out—they don’t find other people sexually attractive, and if and when they say so, they are very rarely treated as though that’s okay.

    When an asexual person comes out, alarming reactions regularly follow; loved ones fear that an asexual person is sick, or psychologically warped, or suffering from abuse. Critics confront asexual people with accusations of following a fad, hiding homosexuality, or making excuses for romantic failures. And all of this contributes to a discouraging master narrative: there is no such thing as “asexual.” Being an asexual person is a lie or an illness, and it needs to be fixed.

    In The Invisible Orientation, Julie Sondra Decker outlines what asexuality is, counters misconceptions, provides resources, and puts asexual people’s experiences in context as they move through a very sexualized world. It includes information for asexual people to help understand their orientation and what it means for their relationships, as well as tips and facts for those who want to understand their asexual friends and loved ones.

  • ¿Puedo hablar de mi salud mental! (Spanish Edition)

    Dos personas cucú te explican que ir al psicólogo no es ninguna locura.

    Desde su exitoso pódcast, ¿Puedo hablar!, Enrique Aparicio (Esnórquel) y Beatriz Cepeda (Perra de Satán) rompen tabúes y tratan con naturalidad cuestiones como la ansiedad, la depresión, los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria o la ideación suicida. El libro ¿Puedo hablar de mi salud mental! es el puente que quieren tender a todas las personas que intuyen que hay algo en su vida que falla, pero no se atreven a pedir ayuda. Su ejemplo, el de dos personas para las que la terapia ha sido fundamental, puede servir de impulso para quienes saben que deben arreglar algo en su cabeza, aunque no sepan bien lo que es.

    «Durante mucho tiempo creí que el sufrimiento era intrínseco a la vida, una consecuencia natural de hacerse mayor. En terapia empecé a deshacer el precario castillo de naipes sobre el que había construido mi visión del mundo: descubrí que ser gay y gordo no solo eran dos simpáticas circunstancias, sino partes de mi identidad que me habían expuesto a una serie de violencias que me condicionaban. La ayuda profesional me dado herramientas fundamentales. Por eso quiero que, si crees que la necesitas, acudas a ella cuanto antes».
    Enrique Aparicio, Esnórquel

    «Cuando empecé a engordar mi vida cambió por completo. Pasé de ser una niña sin problemas a una con un problema muy gordo. Nuestra sociedad hace creer a las niñas que engordar es algo muy grave contra lo que deben luchar. Cuando iba al médico y me quejaba de los nervios, ya que no sabía lo que era la ansiedad, le explicaba que sufría ataques, doloresde cabeza muy frecuentes y otros síntomas. La única respuesta que recibía era: Tienes que adelgazar, haz deporte y come menos. Acabé desarrollando un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria. Si he contado mi historia y he escrito este libro es para ponérselo más fácil a otras personas».

  • The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge

    04

    Rethink your view of the world with The Teachings of Don Juan, the first book in Carlos Castaneda’s spiritual journey into the world of sorcery…

    The Teachings of don Juan is the story of Carlos Castaneda’s extraordinary experiences.

    In 1960 Carlos Castaneda was a graduate student when he met Don Juan, a Yaqui Indian feared and shunned by the ordinary folk of the American Southwest because of his unnatural powers. During the next five years don Juan’s arcana knowledge led Castaneda into a world of beauty and terror, ruled by concepts far beyond those of Western civilisation.

    Using medicinal herbs Castaneda lived through encounters with disembodied spirits, shamans in the form of huge wolves, and death in the shape of silver crows. Finally, after a night of utter terror in which he knew that his life was threatened by forces which he still cannot fully explain, he gave up his struggle to become a ‘Man Of Knowledge’.

    ‘It gives a different view of the world and challenges the ideas and beliefs that we have be taught, whilst also providing simple methods to changing the way we interact with the world on a day to day basis.’ – 5* Reader Review

    08

    ‘I want to eat everything in this book every single day for the rest of my life’ – James Acaster

    ‘Sweet and funny and weird…as well as genuinely insightful about cooking’ – Hadley Freeman, The Sunday Times

    ‘As touching as it is delicious’ – The Evening Standard

    From Spaced and Hot Fuzz to Paul and Truth Seekers, Nick Frost has lit up our screens for decades with his perfectly observed, just-the-right-side-of-absurd sketches and films. He’s also a keen, self-taught cook: so keen, in fact, that in lockdown, he personally delivered pies to his Instagram followers.

    This book is his love letter to food, to kitchens and the people in them.

    Nick’s favourite thing to eat aged 10 was his mother’s stroganoff and as her alcoholism worsened, he began to learn to cook it himself, gradually taking over and using it as a magic trick to conjure up the very best bits of her – the stable, sober bits, which became harder to find as the years went on. This was the beginning of a lifelong love of process and technique, of escaping into a world of hisses, blips and thunks of a knife on a board.

    A Slice of Fried Gold is a delicious mixture of hearty recipes, stories and digressions from one of Britain’s most loved actors and writers.
