‘A reassuring manifesto on the role of women today’ - Dawn O’Porter‘This book − and Cat Sims generally − helps me to breathe a bit easier. My shoulders drop, my jaw relaxes, and I know everything is going to be OK.’ - Bryony GordonThe mental load isn’t just about doing all the stuff. The mental load is constantly thinking about having to do all the stuff, and then, when you forget to do some of the stuff, the mental load is also about beating yourself up about that, while still trying to keep in mind all the other stuff you’ve got to do.The mental load. Emotional labour. The invisible burden – whatever you call it, every woman is familiar with the neverending list of things to do that exists in their head. This noise that plays on a constant loop is impacting the mental health of women everywhere.Writer, content creator, podcaster, wife and mum Cat Sims describes the devastating impact the mental load had on her own happiness, mental health and marriage. After having children, the unequal division of responsibility in her household came into stark relief. Her desperate efforts to be the perfect wife and mother left her mentally, emotionally and physically defeated – ultimately driving her to addiction and a crisis point in her marriage.With eye-opening honesty and her trademark dry humour, Cat tells the story of her relationship with the mental load and, in turn, offers a blunt but ultimately hopeful appraisal of society and women’s experience of it. This necessary book will incite honest conversation, make you feel less alone and give you the confidence to invite your loved ones to share the mental load.

Jonathan Haidt is a modern-day prophet, disguised as a psychologist . . .He points the way forward to a brighter, stronger future for us all’ Susan Cain'Compelling, readable, remarkably persuasive' Telegraph'Urgent and essential . . .it ought to become a foundational text for the growing movement' GuardianAfter more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents in many countries around the world deteriorated suddenly in the early 2010s. Why have rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide risen so sharply, more than doubling in many cases?In this book, Social Psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone usage among adolescents are the twin sources of increased mental distress among teenagers. Haidt delves into the latest psychological and biological research to show how, between 2010 and 2015, childhood and adolescence got rewired.As teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, time online soared while time engaging face-to-face with friends and family plummeted, and so did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom, as parents over-supervised every aspect of their children’s lives offline, depriving them of the experiences they most need to become strong and self-governing adults. The Anxious Generation reveals the fundamental ways in which this shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development – from sleep deprivation to addiction – with separate in-depth analyses of the impact on girls and boys.Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of cutting-edge science, this eye-opening book is a life raft and a powerful call-to-arms, offering practical advice for parents, schools, governments, and teens themselves.

A riveting coming-of-age journey and a tantalising glimpse into a time when Africa was an oyster for the young, the brave and the free.It all began at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station, in 1961. Two young Princetonians have returned to New York from South America, where their dream of buying a coffee plantation in the Peruvian jungle evaporated. With the fire for adventure still burning in their veins, they are tempted by a mysterious letter from Kenya and plan a trip across Africa. They buy a white BMW motorcycle and paint the words ‘The White Nile’ on the tank, to honour the route they will follow.In limpid, elegant prose John Hopkins describes deadly salt flats where tourists vanish without a trace, mysterious Saharan oases and the funerals of young Tunisians killed by the French Foreign Legion. In Leptus Magna, he conjures visions of ancient Rome and visits Homer’s fabled island of the Lotus Eaters.The adventurers escape armed vigilantes in the Tunisian desert, and are chased by the border patrol across Libyan sands. They climb the Great Pyramid at Giza at dawn, endure ‘The Desert Express’ across the Nubian desert and travel by paddlewheel steamer through the Sudd, a swamp bigger than Britain. Their final adventure, at the idyllic Impala Farm at the foot of Mount Kenya, turns out to be a poisoned paradise.The places, the people, the writing, and the emotional reverberations of The White Nile Diaries hold the reader enthralled.

One of the great 20th century political diaries''A tremendous read'' SPECTATOR''One stops to marvel at the achievement. Honesty, decency, modesty, magnanimity, are stamped on every page, as evident as the wit'' EVENING STANDARDHarold Nicolson was one of the three great political diarists of the 20th century (along with Chips Channon and Alan Clark). Nicolson was an MP (Conservative, 1935-45, who also flirted with Labour after WWII). He had previously been in the Foreign Office and attended the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, and material from his period is included in this new edition for the first time. Nicolson never achieved high office, but rarely a day went by when he didn''t record what was going on at Westminster. He socialised widely, was married to the poet and author Vita Sackville-West, and together they created the famous garden at Sissinghurst. Both were bi-sexuals and had affairs outside their marriage. This new edition also draws on diary entries and letters previously considered too sensitive for inclusion. The diversity of Harold Nicolson''s interests and the irony in his writing make his diary a highly entertaining record of his life and times, as well as a document of great historical value.

Founded in London in 1963 by Mary Ann MacLean and Robert de Grimston, The Process Church of the Final Judgement emerged from a scientology-inspired psychotherapy group and quickly became a cultural phenomenon before its dramatic split in 1974. What did The Process truly believe? Their secretive nature kept many in the dark, but sociologist William Sims Bainbridge gained unprecedented access to this elusive group. As a young researcher in the late sixties, Bainbridge earned the trust of the Processians in Boston, becoming the only non-member to witness their rituals and practices firsthand. His rare and sought-after book, Satan''s Power: A Deviant Psychotherapy Cult (1978), first unveiled his groundbreaking findings. Now, fifty years after the cult''s decline, Bainbridge revisits and expands upon his seminal work in Lucifer''s Power. This updated edition uncovers the motivations of The Process''s members, reveals their intricate beliefs and rituals, and explores the cult''s enduring legacy and influence. Packed with new material and never-before-seen historical photographs taken by Bainbridge during the height of The Process''s popularity, this book provides a comprehensive and compelling look into the world of The Process Church of the Final Judgement.

Is depression simply the result of chemical imbalances, or Schizophrenia a wholly biological disorder? What role do the broader circumstances of an individual’s social, cultural and heuristic world play in the wider scheme of their psychological wellbeing? In this ground-breaking and highly innovative text, Cromby et al deliver an introduction to the the biopsychosocial paradigm for understanding and treating psychological distress, taking into consideration the wider contexts that engender the onset of mental illness and critiquing the limitations in the sole use of the biomedical model in psychological practice. Rather than biologically determined or clinically measurable, readers are encouraged to consider mental illness as a subjective experience that is expressed according to the individual experiences of the sufferer rather than the rigidity of diagnostic categories. Similarly, approaches to recovery expand beyond psychiatric medication to consider the fundamental function of methods such as psychotherapy, community psychology and service-user movements in the recovery process. Offering a holistic account of the experience of psychological distress, this text draws upon not only statistical evidence but places an integral emphasis on the service-user experience; anecdotal accounts of which feature throughout in order to provide readers with the perspective of the mental health sufferer.Taking an integrative approach to the psychology of mental health, the authors draw from a wealth of experience, examples and approaches to present this student-friendly and engaging text. This is core reading for anyone serious about understanding mental health issues and is suitable for undergraduate students taking introductory courses in psychology and abnormal psychology.

‘I’ll put you in my diary!’ comedian Kenneth Williams was known to threaten on occasion, although tantalisingly he kept the journal to himself during his lifetime. Here at last, in one spellbinding volume, are four million words of it.For more than forty years, from his sixteenth birthday until the eve of his unexpected death in 1988, the beloved actor and outrageous ‘Carry On’ star Kenneth Williams kept a candid diary. Devastatingly honest about himself, he is equally unsparing in his verdicts on his fellow man. In his descriptions of Tony Hancock, Maggie Smith, Joe Orton and countless others, his waspish sense of humour, love of anecdote and ear for dialogue are given full rein.Malicious, hilarious and harrowing, ‘The Kenneth Williams Diaries’ are a unique portrait of one of Britain’s most popular – and most misunderstood – performers.
