An Unconventional Mind
The aim of this book is for it to carry the same comfort as the staple Shepherd’s pie your Grandma used to make with love, warmth, compassion and mince. Of course, if your Grandma’s attempts at cooking were nothing short of a death sentence or you happen to be a vegan, this analogy does not apply to you.At the core of this book is a hug when no willing hugger is around or a shoulder to cry on, when all shoulders are occupied. Pages of reassurance that say ‘yeah don’t worry, I’ve been there too’.
To some, just a retreat from all the uncertainty and turbulence that life holds…
uncertainty and turbulence that your mildly unconventional brain holds.Or just a provider of entertainment, unaccompanied by the commitment that a regular storybook or biography requires.
Not dissimilar to a beloved teddy missing an eye and the majority of its stuffing or an expensive but ugly looking heirloom of a necklace, this book can be passed down through generations. Complete with your own annotations, doodles, cuttings and stickings, coffee stains, wine stains, tear stains and a sliver of your soul.
An assembly of hopeful anecdotes, reflections on life, nonsensical utterances, short stories, uplifting reminders that feel so deeply personal yet universally touching.
Interspersed between the philosophical thinking and thought-provoking advice pages are pockets of humour, recipes, chinchilla care tips, word-searches……a melange of enjoyable, bite-sized literature.

The Inner Gym: A 30-Day Workout For Strengthening Happiness
One of the biggest myths in our society is that you can simply choose to be happy whenever you want, even in spite of challenging circumstances. Or, that happiness is a byproduct of making more money, falling in love, or being successful. But modern research says this is an illusion. Happiness is not sustained through achievements. Rather, it is the result of having strong “inner” muscles.The Inner Gym is to inner strength what the outer gym is to physical strength—it is a means for strengthening the inner muscles that are responsible for solidifying true happiness, from the inside out. With brawny inner muscles, you will be able to tap into your happiness, no matter the circumstances. With weak inner muscles, you can have it all and still be unhappy. The stability of your happiness depends on much you work out in The Inner Gym.

The No Self, No Problem Workbook: Exercises & Practices from Neuropsychology and Buddhism to Help You Lose Your Mind (The No Self Wisdom Series)
“Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 percent of everything you think, and of everything you do, is for yourself—and there isn’t one.” —Wei Wu Wei
In his bestselling book No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up to Buddhism, Professor Chris Niebauer explored the incredible link between Eastern philosophy and recent findings in neuropsychology, which is now confirming a fundamental tenet of Buddhism: anatta, or the doctrine of “no self.”We are just beginning to understand these parallels and what they mean for the human experience.
Now, Niebauer takes a deeper dive, offering exercises and practices you can do right now to experience the state of “no self” and its benefits. These include being more present, finding inner peace, and seeing the world through the eyes of what Niebauer calls “clear consciousness.” Read this book, do the practices, and begin to disidentify with the false sense of self that is the root cause of almost all the anxiety, depression, and fear we experience as human beings.
