Top-notch⠙Good Housekeeping ⠓ BEST PARENTING BOOKS Helen has a way to take big ideas and convey them with warmth and wisdom Dr Rangan Chatterjee A well researched study injected with humour and humanity Mail on Sunday*Featured on The Happiness Lab with Dr Laurie Santos*What do Vikings know about raising children? Turns out, quite a lot⠦After a decade of living in Denmark and raising a family there, Helen Russell noticed that Nordic children are different. They eat differently. They learn differently. They run, jump and climb out in nature for hours a day, even though the weather is terrible and it s dark October to March. And then they grow up to be some of the happiest adults on the planet. Her question was: how?In How to Raise a Viking, Russell takes a deep dive into the parenting culture of Denmark and the other Nordic nations, from parental leave policies to school structure, screen time, and the surprising customs that lead to happy, well-adjusted humans. This fascinating peek behind the cultural curtain allows readers a glimpse of another world, where babies sleep outside in their prams up to -20°C and pre-schoolers wield axes.Refreshingly funny and unfailingly optimistic about the new generation of humans growing up in the world right now, this is a heart-warming love letter to Russell⠙s adopted homeland and proof that we could all do with a bit more Viking in our lives.

How to End a Story - Helen Garner

I revere Helen Garner s writing, and it s in her diaries that she s at her acute, rigorous, pitch-perfect best Nigella Lawson I come back again and again to Garner s diaries and always find something new to admire. Her wit and observations are brilliant and her thoughts on writing are a guide Daisy Johnson I love Helen Garner s diaries. I would read her grocery lists Fatima Bhutto The diaries are the apotheosis of Helen Garner s entire career, and the most exciting thing she has ever published . . . Beautiful, riveting, formally electrifying Lit HubLooking out the window at the two big gum trees, as it gets dark, I think: the only way I can go on keeping a diary - the bits about myself, anyway, i.e. most of it - is to conceive of it as a record of soul. Helen Garner has kept a diary for most of her adult life. Now she is widely recognised as one of the greatest writers of our age. But, of all her books, it is her diaries that she likes best.Collected for the first time into one volume, these inimitable diaries show Garner like never before: as a fledging author in bohemian Melbourne, publishing her lightning-rod debut novel while raising a young daughter in the 1970s; in the throes of an all-consuming love affair in the 1980s; and clinging to a disintegrating marriage in the 1990s.How to End a Story reveals the inner life of a woman in love, a mother, a friend and a formidable writer at work. Told with devastating honesty, steel-sharp wit and an ecstatic attention to the details of everyday life, it offers all the satisfactions of a novel alongside the enthralling intimacy of something written in private and just for pleasure.

How to Talk with Anyone about Anything - Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D., Harville Hendrix

Now available in trade paper!Relationships everywhere are in crisis due to our inability to talk about difference without polarizing. Since objection to difference is the core human problem, we need a skill that helps us connect beyond difference. That s just what New York Times bestselling authors Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt offer in their new book: How To Talk With Anyone About Anything. They call it the Safe Conversations Dialogue process, which everyone can learn and teach, that moves all relationships from danger to safety, making connecting possible.For centuries, most of us humans have talked to others in monologues, believing that the world is the way we see it, that what we say about it is the truth and we have assumed that everyone sees it our way. If they do not, we experience tension and conflict on many levels. On the other hand, few of us have ever listened to others while they are talking and tried to see the world from their point of view while retaining our own perspective. Instead of listening to understand and collaborate about our differences, we tend to replace their perspective with our own. This results in polarization, not only in our personal lives and work environments, but also in the political and religious arenas we inhabit. This has led to anxiety, frustration, anger, violence, and war. Clearly, the world needs a new way to talk that transcends difference and leads to collaboration, co-creation, and cooperation.Getting the Love You Want, teach that the practice of Safe Conversations Dialogue impacts the physics of the Space Between. Here is what they mean:All of us live in and are a part of an energy field in which everything everywhere is connecting with everything everywhere. This energy field occupies the Space-Between us.When there is safety in the energy field that occupies the Space-Between us, we can connect.When there is anxiety in the Space Between, we defend ourselves. We cannot connect but tend to polarize.Anyone, if they decide to, can restore safety in the Space Between by using a structure conversation skill called the Safe Conversations Dialogue. In How to Talk with Anyone about Anything, Harville and Helen share the wisdom of the Safe Conversations process and the four structured and teachable skills that create safety and connection:Dialogue: Dialogue is two or more people taking turns talking and listening. Monologue is one person talking and expecting everyone else to listen. When two or more people shift from Monologue to Dialogue, they can transform any relationship from conflict to safety, connection and collaboration.Zero Negativity: Negativity disrupts safety and is non-negotiable for safe and thriving relationships. When Dialogue is practiced with Zero Negativity, criticism about what one does not have is replaced with a positive request for what one wants. This transforms conflict into safety and connecting.Empathy: Empathy is the capacity to experience or imagine how another person has gone through life. When Dialogue is practiced with empathy, one can more easily accept the different perspective of another person and maintain one s own perspective without polarizing.Affirmation: Affirmation is valuing another person because they exist rather than for what they have done for you. When Dialogue includes affirmation, the other person experiences themselves as human rather than as an object that is valued because of what they do. How to Talk with Anyone about Anything offers the keys to unlocking your ability to connect with others in a new and profoundly different way. And, as more of us hone that ability, together, we can bring about a fundamental shift in society away from our current focus on the self and polarization about difference towards safety and true connection that includes total personal freedom, universal equality, radical inclusion, and celebration of diversity—a society in which we all collaborate with each other without surrendering our differences, co-create with each other about new solutions and cooperate with other to put them into practice. Then we will all live in the world of our dreams.

How Babies Sleep - Professor Helen L. Ball

The definitive new science and data-led guide on baby sleep for new parents from director of the University Durham Sleep Infancy Centre, Professor Helen L. Ball. â ˜As compassionate as it is clinically rigorous . . . a myth-busting, parent-respecting, evidence-soaked call to rethink everything we think we know about infant sleep.â ™Guddi Singh, British Medical Journalâ ˜Clearly written and engaging, with really useful suggestions that will help manage parentsâ ™ expectations and anxiety, How Babies Sleep is a must-read for anybody who wants to understand the first 365 days of a human life.â ™Russell Foster, neuroscientist and bestselling author of Life Time---How babies sleep is both exceedingly simple and excruciatingly complex. It is simple because it is based on a few straightforward biological principles that affect all babies the world over. It is complex because we have made it so. Over the past century and a half, we have tried to manipulate baby sleep to fit with the rapidly changing nature of adult lives. The mismatch we have created with our babiesâ ™ biology is framed as â ˜baby sleep problemsâ ™, and infants are often â ˜treatedâ ™ using behavioural and clinical interventions. But it is not baby sleep that needs fixing â “ only our understanding of it. In How Babies Sleep, pioneering and award-winning infant sleep researcher Professor Helen Ball brings together cutting-edge science, anthropological insight and practical advice to provide parents with everything they need to help them confidently â “ and sanely â “ navigate the first 365 night-times with a new baby. It will teach you how to harmonise your needs with those of your infant, and empower you to reject approaches that make you uncomfortable and experiment with strategies that work for you and your family. ----â ˜Finally â ” the baby sleep book all new parents actually need.â ™ Amanda Ruggeri, award-winning science and parenting journalistâ ˜An accessible, intelligent account of the issues around baby sleep.â ™ Sue Gerhardt, psychotherapist and bestselling author of Why Love Matters The most important voice we have to bring clarity.â ™ Greer Kirshenbaum, neuroscientist, doula and author of The Nurture Revolutionâ ˜A must-read . . .

Czerski brings the oceans alive with compelling stories that masterfully navigate this most complex system. Gaia Vince, science journalist, broadcaster and author of Nomad Century All of the Earth s ocean, from the equator to the poles, is a single engine powered by sunlight - a blue machine.Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told - that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history culture.In a book that will recalibrate our view of this defining feature of our planet, physicist Helen Czerski dives deep to illuminate the murky depths of the ocean engine, examining the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and survive because of it. From the ancient Polynesians who navigated the Pacific by reading the waves to permanent residents of the deep such as the Greenland shark that can live for hundreds of years, she explains the vast currents, invisible ocean walls and underwater waterfalls that all have their place in the ocean s complex, interlinked system.Timely, elegant and passionately argued, Blue Machine presents a fresh perspective on what it means to be a citizen of an ocean planet. The understanding it offers is crucial to our future. Drawing on years of experience at the forefront of marine science, Helen Czerski captures the magnitude and subtlety of Earth s defining feature, showing us the thrilling extent to which we are at the mercy of this great engine.

A Lion Called Christian - Anthony Bourke, John Rendall

In 2008, a YouTube clip became an internet phenomenon. It showed the emotional reunion of two young men and their pet lion, Christian, after they had left him in Africa to be introduced into his rightful home in the wild. Anthony Ace Bourke and John Rendall visited London from Australia in 1969 and bought a boisterous lion cub in Harrods. But Christian soon grew from cuddly cub to King of the Kings Road in London, and the only way to avoid him being incarcerated in a zoo was to place him under the expert care of George Adamson in Kenya. Ace and John did not return to see their lion for a year.A Lion Called Christian tells their touching story, accompanied by stunning photographs. It s a unique and extraordinary tale of its time that resonates again today with a worldwide audience, thanks to the internet age, and is destined to become one of the great classics of animal literature.
