  • The Autistic Brain: understanding the autistic brain by one of the most accomplished and well-known adults with autism in the world

    08

    Want to read just one book about autism? Read this. Written by Temple Grandin, one of the world’s most accomplished and well-known adults with autism, this thought-provoking, insightful and inspirational book – with illustrative diagrams and key points pulled out for emphasis – will assist not only fellow autistics and families with affected members, but also researchers and physicians seeking to better understand the condition.

    ‘An extraordinary source of inspiration for autistic children, their parents – and all people’ — Time
    ‘The Autistic Brain can both enlighten readers with little exposure to autism and offer hope and compassion to those who live with the condition’ — Scientific American
    ‘Grandin has helped us understand autism not just as a phenomenon, but as a different but coherent mode of existence that otherwise confounds us…’ — New York Times
    ‘Enjoyable, insightful read’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘This book is a delight from start to finish’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘Superb, readable book’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘Great book. Very insightful and easy to follow’ — ***** Reader review

    ********************************************************************************************
    It’s estimated that one in almost a hundred people are diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum but there is far more hope for them today than ever before thanks to ground-breaking new research.

    In this fascinating and highly readable book, Temple Grandin offers her own experience as an autistic person alongside remarkable new discoveries about the autistic brain, as well as genetic research.
    She highlights long-ignored sensory problems as well as the need to treat autism symptom by symptom, rather than with an umbrella diagnosis. Most exciting of all, she argues that raising and educating children on the autistic spectrum needs to be less about focusing on their weaknesses, and more about fostering their unique contributions.

    Written in a clear, concise and accessible way, with illustrative diagrams and key points pulled out for emphasis, this is an all-encompassing guide that will change the perception of autism.

  • Rebound: Train Your Mind to Bounce Back Stronger from Sports Injuries

    02

    Written by a leading mental skills coach and contributing editor to Runner’s World (US), this is a practical guide to building the psychological resilience that athletes need to recover from injury and rebound stronger.

    Injuries affect every athlete, from the elite Olympian to the weekend racer. In the moment, a traumatic crash, a torn muscle, or a stress fracture can feel like the most devastating event possible. While some athletes are destroyed by the experience, others emerge from their recovery better, stronger, and more confident than ever.

    The key to a swifter, stronger comeback is the use of mental skills: psychological tools that enable an athlete to take control of their recovery and ultimately use the experience to their advantage. Injury and other setbacks are inevitable – but with training, overcoming them skillfully and confidently is possible.

    This book will provide a clear, compelling explanation of psychological recovery from injury and a practical guide to building mental resilience. Weaving together personal narratives from star athletes, scientific research, and the specialized clinical expertise of mental skills coach Carrie Jackson Cheadle, it will contain more than 45 Mental Skills and Drills that athletes can use at every phase of their recovery process. These same strategies can help athletes who aren’t currently injured reduce their vulnerability to injury, and enable any individual to reach new heights within their sport and beyond.

  • The MindBody Workbook: a thirty day program of insight and understanding for people with back pain and other disorders

    02
    This Workbook offers the reader a thirty-day structured journal to identify and express psychological issues that may be causing back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, tension headaches, TMJ, and other disorders. The author, Dr. David Schechter, a former student of Dr. John Sarno, has developed a Workbook that guides the reader through a process of insight and awareness to harness the mindbody connection.

    From the Author: I’ve been fascinated by the mindbody connection since before medical school. The seminal event of my medical education in this regard was my own cure from chronic, unexplained knee pain with the guidance of John Sarno, MD from NYU’s Rusk Institute. After this personal success, I performed a follow-up study of his patients, under his auspices and determined that this approach proved successful in a remarkably high 77% of chronic back sufferers.

    As my career has progressed, I’ve developed my own program of treatment that includes an office consultation and educational materials on this subject for my patients. This Workbook is a resource for people suffering from mindbody disorders that I may not personally be able to treat. With the help of a local physician to exclude more serious disease, they should be able to benefit greatly from the thirty-day structured journal approach, on their own, as my own patients do in my office. This Workbook has been used successfully by over 30,000 individuals as of 2022 and in published research studies. Author note:

    If you order the ebook, be prepared to answer the questions in a notebook, computer or tablet, or by voice recording. Research has shown the effectiveness of journaling is based upon your doing something with the answers (writing, recording), not just thinking about the answers.

    While the process of journaling can be challenging, the rewards are great and it is a still you can come back to, in the future, when needed to process other emotional challenges.

    You can utilize this Workbook before or after the newer MindBody Workbook Volume Two published in 2023.

  • How to Not Die Alone: The Surprising Science That Will Help You Find Love

    08

    ‘A definitive guide for a generation navigating the murky waters of modern love’ Esther Perel

    A funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

    Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives – they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including who to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

    Drawing from years of research, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how.

    This book focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and real-life stories. You’ll learn:

    – What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern)
    – What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t)
    – How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you)
    – How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love)
    – How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews)
    – Why “the spark” is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway)

    This data-driven, step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

  • The Conscious Mind In Search of a Fundamental Theory (Philosophy of Mind)

    03
    What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind and to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate, aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning?

    David J. Chalmers unveils a major new theory of consciousness, one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science, while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind and brain. Writing in a thought-provoking style, Chalmers proposes that conscious experience must be understood as an irreducible entity similar to such physical properties as time, mass, and space that exists at a fundamental level and cannot be understood as the sum of its parts. Engaging and penetrating, this book adds a fresh new perspective to the subject that is sure to spark debate about our understanding of the mind for years to come.

      About the Authors Leon Edward and Dr. Anum Khan

      For Leon Edward, the past 35 years since the tbi left one lingering desire: the need to give something back, a way to provide something meaningful for the families and loved ones of patients who will face the same painful disruption of their lives and the same long journey he had to undertake. “I want to be clear in the introduction that I am not a health professional as my co-author Dr. Khan, but rather an engineer that has had a tbi” – Leon Edward

      This book was written by one deeply caring brother for his brothers and sisters suffering the same or even a worse fate after surviving traumatic brain injuries – and with deep admiration and appreciation for their families and caretakers who will help to guide them.

      For Leon it has become an ingrained part of his existence to help others enjoy life after suffering serious injuries especially living alone after a TBI, even if it only means that he can help others who are disabled or living alone with words of hope, encouragement of inspiration.

      Dr. Anum Khan enjoys crafting health content that genuinely helps the readers in a practical and insightful way. She believes that a healthy life is everyone’s right, and it must be taught in an easy and effective manner using the most authentic information and relatable voice.

      This book comes with the same intent: To help sufferers, families, professionals learn more about TBI with a holistic approach, and to equip them with all the knowledge they will need on this journey.

  • Forever Strong: A new, science-based strategy for aging well

    08

    THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

    Learn how to reboot your metabolism, build strength, and extend your life with this accessible new book that demonstrates the importance of muscle for health and longevity from the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine®.

    After years of watching patients cycle through her practice, Dr Gabrielle Lyon noticed a pattern. While her patients struggled with a wide range of conditions, they all suffered from the same core problem: they had too little muscle rather than too much fat.

    When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. As the body’s largest endocrine organ, muscle actually determines everything about the trajectory of health and aging. Many of the conditions Dr Lyon’s patients were experiencing were actually symptoms of underdeveloped or unhealthy muscle.

    Now, Dr Lyon offers an easy-to-follow food, fitness, and self-care program anchored in evidence and pioneering research that teaches you how to optimize muscle-no matter your age or health background. Discover how to overcome everything from obesity to autoimmune disorders and avoid diseases like Alzheimer’s, hypertension, and diabetes by following Dr Lyon’s powerful new approach to becoming forever strong.

  • Doctor’s Kitchen 3-2-1: 3 fruit and veg, 2 servings, 1 pan

    07

    3-2-1 is a brand new way of cooking delicious food, that is completely life changing. Every recipe is formulated to contain 3 portions of fruit and vegetables per person, serving 2 people and all made in one pan. That’s it! Curries, Stews, Traybakes, Casseroles, Salads and more. Take the effort out of cooking and put health and enjoyment back in.

    ‘Food and nutritional medicine play a crucial part in our general wellbeing – I’ve examined hundreds of academic studies that show which diets have the biggest health impact, which ingredients are best to include, as well as which cooking processes maintain nutritional quality.’

    Bestselling author and NHS medical doctor, Dr Rupy introduces his simple 3-2-1 formula, making it possible to easily cook healthy meals every single day. Following on from his two bestselling cookbooks, he builds on his message that the most important health intervention anyone can make is what you put on your plate.

    Containing over 100 recipes that taste spectacular, offering a streamlined cooking process, whilst ensuring health benefits to optimise wellbeing, 3-2-1 is an easy-to-follow health prescription. This daily ‘dose’ of fresh ingredients, quality fats, whole grains and plenty of fibre lowers the risk of disease.

    Guided by scientific evidence, Dr Rupy’s core principles of healthy eating remain the same – keep plant focused, eat lots of fibre, plenty of colourful vegetables and whole foods. Each incredible tasting dish promises 3 portions of fruit and vegetables per person, 2 servings per meal and uses only 1 pan. Need 4 portions for a family? Just double the ingredients!

    As a busy doctor, Dr Rupy knows that one of the main reasons people choose not to cook at home is lack of TIME as well as the EFFORT to cook it. Each recipe is cleverly formulated to require only one pan, minimising the cooking process (as well as the washing up), and using as little equipment as possible – the majority only require a knife, chopping board and a cooking dish.

    Dr Rupy’s practical and easy-to-use book promises gorgeous looking, flavourful dishes that consistently look after our bodies, helping to beat illness by optimising our food choices.

    This is a prescription to fill yourself, one delicious plate at a time. Share this formula for long lasting health and start cooking the 3-2-1 way!

  • The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain

    06

    A bold new book reveals how we can tap the intelligence that exists beyond our brains–in our bodies, our surroundings, and our relationships.

    Use your head.

    That’s what we tell ourselves when facing a tricky problem or a difficult project. But a growing body of research indicates that we’ve got it exactly backwards. What we need to do, says acclaimed science writer Annie Murphy Paul, is think outside the brain. A host of “extra-neural” resources–the feelings and movements of our bodies, the physical spaces in which we learn and work, and the minds of those around us–can help us focus more intently, comprehend more deeply, and create more imaginatively.

    The Extended Mind outlines the research behind this exciting new vision of human ability, exploring the findings of neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and psychologists, and examining the practices of educators, managers, and leaders who are already reaping the benefits of thinking outside the brain. She excavates the untold history of how artists, scientists, and authors–from Jackson Pollock to Jonas Salk to Robert Caro–have used mental extensions to solve problems, make discoveries, and create new works. In the tradition of Howard Gardner’s Frames of Mind or Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence, The Extended Mind offers a dramatic new view of how our minds work, with practical advice on how we can all think better.

They estimate that every year around 145,000 people in the UK are newly diagnosed with the condition ― that’s around 1 in 350 British adults. And Parkinson’s diagnoses are set to rise by nearly a fifth by 2025. The increase is due to a growing and ageing population. The Parkinson’s UK analysis suggests that 1 in every 37 people will be diagnosed with Parkinson’s in our lifetime. Internationally renowned as both a neurologist and a leading researcher, Dr. Okun has been referred to as “the voice” of these patients and a world authority on Parkinson’s disease. His positive and optimistic approach has helped countless people manage their symptoms and achieve happiness despite them. This approach, detailed in this new book, Living with Parkinson’s Disease, is a critical resource for Parkinson’s disease patients and their families. Presented in a friendly and easy-to-understand way, this book addresses PD related issues and symptoms along with emerging therapies. In each chapter, Dr. Okun offers patients the necessary tools to manage their disease and to ultimately find joy and fulfilment in their lives.
