Redirect
A problem shared is a problem halved? Not necessarily... Talking about our problems isn't always a good idea. World-renowned psychologist Timothy Wilson reveals how this, and many other conventional therapies and interventions, can often do us more harm than good. Presenting the very latest research, Wilson argues that the key to transforming our lives lies simply in learning to redirect the stories we tell ourselves. His revolutionary approach reveals how reshaping our internal narratives can increase our personal well-being and transform our understanding of human behaviour - our narratives can change surprisingly quickly if tweaked in the right way. How can we best recover from trauma? Why might some sex education result in more teen pregnancies? Why will most self-help books leave you worse off? Redirect proposes a radical new view of the world. It also offers a range of practical advice - that has, crucially, been tested scientifically and found to have real results - that can show us the way to social progress.
The Caregiving Trap
"The Caregiving Trap" combines the authentic life and professional experience of Pamela D. Wilson, who provides recommendations for overwhelmed and frustrated caregivers who themselves may one day need care. "The Caregiving Trap" includes stories about Pamela's actual personal and professional experience along with end of chapter exercises to support caregivers. Common caregiving issues include: A sense of duty and obligation to provide care that damages family relationships Emotional and financial challenges resulting in denial of care needs Ignorance of predictive events that result in situations of crises or harm Delayed decision making and lack of planning resulting in limited choices Minimum standards of care supporting the need for advocacy
Strangers to Ourselves
"Know thyself," a precept as old as Socrates, is still good advice. But is introspection the best path to self-knowledge? Wilson makes the case for better ways of discovering our unconscious selves. If you want to know who you are or what you feel or what you're like, Wilson advises, pay attention to what you actually do and what other people think about you. Showing us an unconscious more powerful than Freud's, and even more pervasive in our daily life, Strangers to Ourselves marks a revolution in how we know ourselves.

The Choice To Overcome
A perfect storm – that is what the Fallen and their children called it, and what they have been patiently waiting and watching for where Alexandria Grace Marcus is concerned. Through all her trials and tribulations as she returned to the Lord’s Nephilim, the dark ones have anticipated such a period in Alex’s life. Banked on it, in fact. A time during which they might seize advantage and make it count in their favor – not the Lord’s. Even Alex’s dear friend Jackson Campbell sees the coming dark tide. And his observation, that the generals don’t march until the foot soldiers have already advanced across the field, resonates deeply with Alex and her brethren. For they feel the shi...
The Choice to Be Free
The last few years have brought so many changes and trials into Alexandria Marcus' life, yet so much joy and love as well. She's come to understand what it means to lead the Lord's Nephilim, and grown in many ways, becoming stronger, wiser and braver than ever before. And it is these qualities which Alex must now draw from as a new threat erupts and overshadows her temporary reprieve. Alex knows the fallen still hunt her and want her power. Yet never would she have imagined the lengths they would go to, or the new and despicable game they've instigated, in order to claim her. As Alex, Gaius, and their brethren face the new traps set to ensnare Alex and her newest friend, Than, Alex is startl...

Aftershocks
"It's unlikely that a more intelligent, amusing and yet disturbing novel will appear this autumn." Scotsman On The Island, just as on many other islands, marriages are unhappy, people fall in love and the seasons pass. The town of Aberdeen is no different, until the earthquakes. These seismic ripples tear down houses, forge bonds, and shake the foundations of humanity and religion. And in the midst of it all, Nellie and Ingrid fall in love. In Aftershocks A. N. Wilson offers a portrait of nature, death and morality. Moved by the real losses of the Christchurch earthquake, this is an extraordinary novel about a community profoundly linked to the land it lives on. "Witty, erudite and artful." Spectator Country & Townhouse's the best books for Christmas, 2018
Girl's Guide to Giving Head
A thoroughly modern collection of poems by Sheri-D Wilson, a dazzling spoken word performer, theMama of Dada.' 'Girl's Guide to Giving Head' collapses convention in its search for the feminine - a strong beautiful universe of dreams and mythology that takes nothing for granted. Combining humour with pathos, it is an instructional manual for life; giving 'head' is the giving of 'ideas' about sex and love and ways of living. 'This work understands the importance of giving honour to the anima, the feminine spirit, in fact the Goddess'MF'
