A step-by-step mindfulness coaching programme so you can make mindfulness part of your everyday routine and better manage stress, anxiety and insecurity. The Mindfulness Habit provides an 8-week, peer reviewed mindfulness course alternating with chapters that tackle practical workplace challenges in a relatable and compassionate way. Topics include working with uncertainty and insecurity; stress and burnout; anxiety; switching off from work, and how to deal with difficult communications. You will also discover how mindfulness can support diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. I canâ ™t â ˜doâ ™ mindfulness. My mind is too busy, I canâ ™t sit still, I just donâ ™t have the TIME! The reasons you think you canâ ™t, are the same reasons why you should give mindfulness a go. Lisa Wren specialises in teaching people who are seriously busy, overwhelmed, stressed out, or in full-on meltdown because life is rushing past at a ridiculous pace. People who like to learn and progress, who value career and life, but who canâ ™t seem to ever catch-up, or get on top of things....or who yearn for just 5 minutes of peace (is that too much to ask?!). Mindfulness can help because your mind is busy, because your body is agitated, and because you donâ ™t have time. In fact, you donâ ™t need to find much time at all â “ no longer than the time it has taken you to read this paragraph. The insights and information shared in The Mindfulness Habit can make a meaningful difference to how you feel. Lisa provides valuable knowledge, and ethically sound perspectives and practices that can help you to navigate the often-difficult relationship between mental health and the demands placed upon us at work and in life. So much of what is suffered is unspoken, and you might assume that feeling persistently stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted is just something you must put up with. This book shows how you can have a productive and successful working life whilst also feeling calmer, healthier, and more in control. The Mindfulness Habit blends established mindfulness curricula with other approaches in positive psychology and introduces â ˜active awarenessâ ™ â “ mindfulness without meditation which can bring mindfulness directly into your everyday life. This unique synthesised approach provides the option of different routes into mindfulness: there is a path to mindfulness waiting for you in this book.

Down in the Valley - Laurie Lee

A moving portrait of the landscape that shaped the life of Laurie Lee, the beloved author of Cider With Rosie Before I left the valley I thought everywhere was like this. Then I went away for 40 years and when I came back I realized that nowhere was like this.

In this portrait of his Cotswold home, Laurie Lee guides us through its landscapes, and shares memories of his village youth - from his favourite pub to winter skating on the pond, the church through the seasons, local legends, learning the violin and playing jazz records in the privy on a wind-up gramophone. Filled with wry humour and a love of place, Down in the Valley is a writer s tribute to the landscape that shaped him, and where he found peace.

In this follow-up to the acclaimed In the Company of Sherlock Holmes, expert Sherlockians Laurie King and Les Klinger put forth the question: What happens when great writers/creators who are not known as Sherlock Holmes devotees admit to being inspired by Conan Doyle stories? While some are highly-regarded mystery writers, others are best known for their work in the fields of fantasy or science fiction. All of these talented authors, however, share a great admiration for Arthur Conan Doyle and his greatest creations, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. To the editors? great delight, these stories go in many directions: Some tell of Holmes himself: in Victorian Baker Street or modern New York, in various guises or a different gender. Some writers choose to explore other Conan Doyle characters?one story is even narrated by a horse!?while another spins a tale of a character under the spell of the Great Detective, while another . . . the variations are endless! Although not a formal collection of new Sherlock Holmes stories?however some do fit that mold?instead these writers were asked to be inspired by the Conan Doyle canon. The results are breathtaking, for fans of Holmes and Watson as well as readers new to Doyle?s writing?indeed, for all readers who love exceptional storytelling.

The Wealth of Nations - Adam Smith

It is symbolic that Adam Smith s masterpiece of economic analysis, The Wealth of Nations, was first published in 1776, the same year as the Declaration of Independence. In his book, Smith fervently extolled the simple yet enlightened notion that individuals are fully capable of setting and regulating prices for their own goods and services. He argued passionately in favor of free trade, yet stood up for the little guy. The Wealth of Nations provided the first--and still the most eloquent--integrated description of the workings of a market economy. The result of Smith s efforts is a witty, highly readable work of genius filled with prescient theories that form the basis of a thriving capitalist system. This unabridged edition offers the modern reader a fresh look at a timeless and seminal work that revolutionized the way governments and individuals view the creation and dispersion of wealth--and that continues to influence our economy right up to the present day.

The Girl on the Bathroom Floor - Amber Emily Smith

The Girl on the Bathroom Floor is a raw and unflinching look at the moments most never share, the ones behind closed doors, on the bathroom floor, in your car, or hidden in the closet—where pain, fear, and grief seem to hit hardest.

The Real Special Relationship - Michael Smith

#39;Fascinating analysis #39; Nigel West; #39;Grippingly told, authoritative #39; Mail on Sunday; #39;Meticulously researched...a remarkably good read #39; John Brennan, former CIA Director; #39;Excellent...a detailed, highly professional account #39; Sir John Scarlett, former MI6 Chief ​The Special Relationship between America and Britain is feted by politicians on both sides of the Atlantic when it suits their purpose and just as frequently dismissed as a myth, not least by the media, which announces its supposed death on a regular basis. Yet the simple truth is that the two countries are bound together more closely than either is to any other ally. In The Real Special Relationship, Michael Smith reveals how it all began, when a top-secret visit by four American codebreakers to Bletchley Park in February 1941 - ten months before the US entered the Second World War - marked the start of a close collaboration between the two nations that endures to this day. Once the war was over, and the Cold War began, both sides recognised that the way they had worked together to decode German and Japanese ciphers could now be used to counter the Soviet threat. Despite occasional political conflict and public disputes between the two nations, such as during the Suez crisis, behind the scenes intelligence sharing continued uninterrupted, right up to the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine. Smith, the bestselling author of Station X and having himself served in British military intelligence, brings together a fascinating range of characters, from Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming to Kim Philby and Edward Snowden, who have helped shape the security of our two nations. Supported by in-depth interviews and an excellent range of personal contacts, he takes the reader into the mysterious workings of MI6, the CIA and all those who work to keep us safe.

The Ruin Dwellers - Jake P. Smith

Traces the shifting dynamics within leftist activism in 1970s and â ™80s Europe and its experiments in art, life, and politics. The Ruin Dwellers takes readers into the urban spaces of youth revolts during the 1970s and â ™80s in West Germany and elsewhere in western and central Europe. Whereas earlier generations of leftist activists were primarily oriented toward the utopian future, participants in the youth movements of the 1970s and â ™80s developed a more complex set of temporal practices that sought to scramble the borders between the past, present, and future. Â Examining a rich corpus of radical texts and practices, historian Jake P. Smith shows that squatters and their leftist allies in this period engaged in social, cultural, and aesthetic experiments with modes of autonomous living. Smith brings to life the real and imagined landscapes conjured in squatted houses and street protests; in art, dress, music, graffiti, and film; and in philosophical, poetic, and political texts. In so doing, he offers an eye-opening look at anarchic world-making practices that found new ways of imagining an emancipated future through inhabiting the fractured past.
