Migraines, back pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue and a host of other chronic illnesses have crippled modern populations. For the past 20 years, Dr Howard Schubiner has been conducting clinical trials, writing more than 100 scientific papers and giving lectures to get to the root cause and find out how to reverse these insidious illnesses. ‘Unlearn Your Pain’ is the result of this work, revealing Dr Schubiner’s life-changing program to effectively treat chronic pain, anxiety and depression. Drawing on the latest neuroplasticity research and the science behind the mind-body connection, readers will be guided step-by-step towards a new understanding of how the mind affects our pain – both physical and emotional – and how we can take back control to live a pain-free life.

In a world that is becoming ever louder and more complicated, sometimes the answer is to look inward. For thousands of years, our bodily organs – from our muscles to our brain – have faced problems and found their own unique ways to overcome them. This book asks: what can we learn from these intricate systems? In this book, Giulia Enders guides us through our inner landscape, revealing how our body is our best teacher. What, for example, can the immune system teach us about our need to feel safe? How does the process of wound-healing mirror emotional recovery? Why do our brain’s reward pathways favour unpredictability? What do we truly need to thrive? Blending recent scientific discoveries with her gift for making complex ideas accessible, Giulia Enders inspires a deep appreciation for something that is both intimately familiar yet profoundly mysterious.

Between a quarter and a fifth of young people in the UK now suffer a mental disorder. One in four adults are prescribed psychiatric medication. These numbers represent a huge and recent expansion in mental health labelling, but reveal nothing of the experience of those seeking help. In ‘The Unfragile Mind’, Gavin draws on conversations with patients, colleagues, and his thirty years of practice to explore the chequered history of psychiatry, the nature of mental health and ill-health, and the problems – including mood disorders, trauma, anxiety and addiction – that he addresses daily. The mind, he argues, is dynamic and adaptive – better addressed not with rigid labels and protocols, but with curiosity, kindness, humility and hope.

In theory, we all know what works and doesn’t work for our bodies; we know that we should eat more vegetables, consume less refined sugar and saturated fat, avoid ultra-processed foods. We know that what we choose to eat has a direct consequence on our health and our happiness. But we have lost touch with our food; it’s produced far away from our day to day lives and often arrives prepared and pre-packed to our homes, our desks and our supermarkets. We have built a food environment that is based on food marketing and arbitrary targets, instead of responding to our biology and nourishing ourselves as individuals. Dr Amati explains how to make the most beneficial decisions for maintaining good health at every stage of life. This book combines nutrition, medical science and public health advice to create a simple guide to what we should all know about our food and how it affects us.

A wonderful work of nonfiction linking the true story of amazing people who worked tirelessly together to bring joy from tragedy – a nine year old boy’s heart transplant made possible.
___________________________________
The first of our organs to form, the last to die, the heart is both a simple pump and the symbol of all that makes us human: as long as it continues to beat, we hope. One summer day, nine-year-old Keira suffered catastrophic injuries in a car accident. Though her brain and the rest of her body began to shut down, her heart continued to beat. In an act of extraordinary generosity, Keira’s parents and siblings agreed that she would have wanted to be an organ donor. Meanwhile nine-year-old Max had been hospitalised for nearly a year with a virus that was causing his young heart to fail. When Max’s parents received the call they had been hoping for, they knew it came at a terrible cost to another family. This is the unforgettable story of how one family’s grief transformed into a lifesaving gift.
