The Language of Kindness: The No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling nursing memoir
Read Costa Award-winning author Christie Watson’s incredible No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling memoir of nursing today.
‘It made me cry. It made me think. It made me laugh’ Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt and Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas
Christie Watson was a nurse for twenty years. Taking us from birth to death and from A&E to the mortuary, The Language of Kindness is an astounding account of a profession defined by acts of care, compassion and kindness.
We watch Christie as she nurses a premature baby who has miraculously made it through the night, we stand by her side during her patient’s agonising heart-lung transplant, and we hold our breath as she washes the hair of a child fatally injured in a fire, attempting to remove the toxic smell of smoke before the grieving family arrive.
In our most extreme moments, when life is lived most intensely, Christie is with us. She is a guide, mentor and friend. And in these dark days of division and isolationism, she encourages us all to stretch out a hand.
‘A powerful insight into the life of nurses’ The Times, Books of the Year

Tuning Up: Improving performance and reducing stress in advertising and marketing
No musicians worth their salt would ever begin performing without first making sure they’re in tune. But in marketing and advertising we often jump into working relationships without Tuning Up.
In marketing and advertising, Tuning Up means harmonising responsibility and control. But being out of tune is much more painful than the cacophony of ill-prepared musicians. Responsibility without control can cause extreme stress; control without responsibility can create arrogant ogres or benevolent dictators.
But when we have responsibility and corresponding control we can achieve flow; operating to the peak of our capabilities and with greatest satisfaction.
In Tuning Up, we explore how responsibility and control relate to one another, to colleagues, clients and agencies. Using the Meikle Matrix business model, case studies and bizarre and amusing anecdotes, Tuning Up guides us to improving our performance and reducing our stress – leading us to happier and more fulfilling lives in two of the world’s more demanding industries.

High-Ticket For Affiliate Gyms: How To Make An Extra $100,000 This Year By Creating And Selling A Bolt-On Transformation Program
Do you want to make an additional $100,000 this year in your affiliate or box gym?Most gym owners haven’t done the math- selling group memberships at $150 – $250 per month, with a sprinkling of personal training or nutrition coaching, just doesn’t cut it.
When you account for membership churn (attrition), the low-priced volume model is not a mathematically winnable game for 99% of gym owners.
You’ll never have enough profit to adequately pay employees or other companies to do all the work for you- coaching, training, cleaning, marketing, paid ads, etc.
Eventually, you may not want to work in your gym 30-60 hours per week. You may decide that $50,000 – $80,000 profit isn’t enough for you to live the lifestyle you want, and you would rather make $200,000 for your optimal lifestyle.
Your current box gym model will not get you there. The numbers don’t add up.
But there is a way you can make that happen…
Most of your clients aren’t here to work out. Most of them are here because they are unhappy with themselves- and they want to make a change in their lives.
3 hours per week of workouts won’t change anyone’s life. The hardest part is the other 165 hours of the week that they aren’t in your gym. That’s where your client struggles, and that’s what your High-Ticket Transformation Program solves.
You can sell a 9-week High-Ticket Transformation Program, in your box gym, for $2,000 to $8,000. You may be thinking “people in my area can’t afford that”- but you’d be dead wrong.
This book shows you exactly how to do this in ANY market, from Gulfport, MS to Kansas City, MO to Ireland and Abu Dhabi.
Learn how to package, sell, and fulfill your clients’ unmet needs and skyrocket your revenue, profitability, and impact!

Home Workouts: Anyone | Anytime | Anywhere: Fun and Simple No-Equipment Home Workouts to Help Lose Weight, Build Muscle and Achieve Your Dream Body
How to tone and sculpt your body, even if you hate cardio or have never stepped inside a gym (and don’t plan on doing so!)
At one point or another we’ve all told ourselves, “I’m going to sign up for a gym membership, and really do it this time,” or, “I swear I’ll do my workout later on tonight.”
We all know the benefits of exercise: It improves our physical and mental health, gives us more energy, and boosts our self-image.
So why is it so hard to start an exercise regimen, and even harder to stick to it?
Despite our best intentions, life gets in the way and there always seems to be an obstacle stopping us from actively trying to live healthier.
Whatever the reason, continuing to live a sedentary lifestyle isn’t doing you any favors.
In fact, physical inactivity is the 4th leading risk factor for global mortality and is a strong predictor for weight gain, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions.
Does this mean that you have to make drastic lifestyle changes to start improving your health, mentally and physically? Or that you need to give up time doing what you love just so you can spend hours in the gym?
Not at all.
I’ll let you in on a secret that the fitness industry doesn’t want you to know.
You don’t need fancy equipment or expensive trainers to sculpt the body that, up until now, you’ve only imagined.
A.G. Scott knows firsthand the amazing results that can be achieved with home workouts, and so he has put together the only exercise guide you’ll ever need.
In Home Workouts: Anyone | Anytime | Anywhere, you will discover:
- The six key elements every workout must have in order to make the most of your time and effort, and how they will have you seeing results sooner than you would believe
- Exercises for every muscle group and fitness level with clear, comprehensive instructions, diagrams and variations so you’re working your target areas every time
- The #1 upper-body workout that will rapidly build your overall strength (hint: small adjustments make big changes)
- How this engaging training method can help you burn more calories than traditional cardio, and continue to burn calories even after your workout is finished
- The numerous benefits of dynamic stretching and how that one simple habit not only warms up your muscles, but also improves your balance and coordination over time
- Meal plans that can be adapted for any lifestyle, so you can create a plan that meets your personal needs and preferences
- The most common mistakes people make without realising, and how these can hold you back from achieving incredible results
And much more.
With the demands and responsibilities of everyday life, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice precious hours every week going to the gym to build the body you’ve always wanted.
The key to transforming your life is having a workout routine that works for you, not against you. This is a plan that will adjust to match your needs and experience, no matter where you are.
It’s time to leave the costly gym membership behind, save money, and allow yourself more time to enjoy life.
If you start today, think how much better you will look and feel in a month.

The Narrative Gym for Medicine: Introducing the ABT Framework for Medical Communication with Peers, Professionals, and the Public
Communication is central to medicine, yet the COVID-19 pandemic revealed major shortcomings in the communication skills of medical professionals. As the world continues to drown in excess amounts of information (communicated ever more rapidly by social media), the ability to maintain focus becomes increasingly difficult.Enter the ABT.
For more than a decade we have been developing the ABT Framework as both a model for narrative structure and a tool for strengthening what we have termed “narrative intuition.” In this, the 6th version of the Narrative Gym series (following the introductory version, then business, law, politics, and science) we offer up two things: 1) the model, 2) its applications.
Perhaps the most powerful part of the book is chapter 7 where ABT founder Randy Olson teams up with Navid Ghaffari, MD to explain specifically how to apply the ABT within the medical profession. The book is brief, to the point, and most importantly, practical.

A picture book designed to help children who are struggling to give up their dummies. Children love it because it’s a great story with fun illustrations, and parents love it because it enables children to kick their dummy habit once and for all.
This book ALSO tackles the days following the departure of the dummies, so parents don’t have to worry about a child missing their dummies once they’ve gone.
The book follows the story of a little girl called Bea, who refuses to give up her dummy. Then one night her mother persuades her to leave all her dummies outside her room for the ‘Dummy Fairy’ to take, (in exchange for a special gift). Bea gets to meet the fairy, who shows her that it IS possible to give up dummies without shedding a single tear.
After reading, children can follow the story at home by collecting up their dummies and leaving them outside their bedroom at night. Parents can then ensure that the ‘Dummy Fairy’ takes them off to Fairyland, leaving a special gift in their place!
The book also includes some fun ideas to help stop children missing the dummies, in the days after they’ve gone.
“I read this book to my dummy-loving son. Afterwards he couldn’t wait to leave his dummies outside his room for the Dummy Fairy to take. Amazingly he never asked for his dummy again.” Liz Coxeter

End of Mental Illness, The: How Neuroscience Is Transforming Psychiatry and Helping Prevent or Reverse Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Adhd, Addictions, Ptsd, Psychosis, Personality…
New hope for those suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, PTSD, ADHD and more.
Though incidence of these conditions is skyrocketing, for the past four decades standard treatment hasn’t much changed, and success rates in treating them have barely improved, either. Meanwhile, the stigma of the “mental illness” label–damaging and devastating on its own–can often prevent sufferers from getting the help they need.Brain specialist and bestselling author Dr. Daniel Amen is on the forefront of a new movement within medicine and related disciplines that aims to change all that. In The End of Mental Illness, Dr. Amen draws on the latest findings of neuroscience to challenge an outdated psychiatric paradigm and help readers take control and improve the health of their own brain, minimizing or reversing conditions that may be preventing them from living a full and emotionally healthy life.
The End of Mental Illness will help you discover:
- Why labeling someone as having a “mental illness” is not only inaccurate but harmful
- Why standard treatment may not have helped you or a loved one–and why diagnosing and treating you based on your symptoms alone so often misses the true cause of those symptoms and results in poor outcomes
- At least 100 simple things you can do yourself to heal your brain and prevent or reverse the problems that are making you feel sad, mad, or bad
- How to identify your “brain type” and what you can do to optimize your particular type
- Where to find the kind of health provider who understands and uses the new paradigm of brain health

The research within this area has evolved rapidly over the past 10 years and this text offers a comprehensive overview of the recent and most relevant advances.

It also discusses considerations in relation to acute and chronic injuries and hamstring injury prevention, including pre-season and in-season interventions, as well as management strategies and rehabilitation protocols.
