The Whole-Brain Child
Daniel J. Siegal
PB AUD24.95
|
|
The Whole-Brain Child
has 12 revolutionary strategies to nurture your
child's developing mind, survive everyday parenting
struggles, and help your family thrive. Your toddler
throws a tantrum in the middle of a store. Your
preschooler refuses to get dressed. Your 11-year-old
sulks on the bench instead of playing on the field.
Do children conspire
to make their parents' lives endlessly challenging?
No - it's just their developing brain calling
the shots! In this pioneering, practical book,
Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author
of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert
Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and
aggravation, explaining the new science of how
a child's brain is wired and how it matures.
The 'upstairs brain',
which makes decisions and balances emotions, is
under construction until the mid-20s. And especially
in young children, the right brain and its emotions
tend to rule over the logic of the left brain.
By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting,
you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into
a chance to integrate your child's brain and foster
vital growth.
With clear explanations,
age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day
struggles, and illustrations that will help you
explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain
Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional
and intellectual development so that your children
can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.

Imagine
Jonah Lehrer
PB AUD32.95
|
|
Creativity: It's singing the song
that has never been sung and solving the problem
that seems impossible. It's the free verse poem
and the mathematical equation, the abstract painter
and the patient inventor. It's the ability to
see the world as it is, and then to imagine how
it might be.
Jonah Lehrer is on a mission to
unlock the mysteries of creativity and invention,
starting at the source: inside our head. Discover
why humans are the creative species, where original
ideas come from and how we can learn to generate
more of them.
Leaping agilely from anecdotes to
scientific theories, from Bob Dylan to modernist
furniture design and from the benefits of office
ping-pong tables to how magicians come up with
new tricks, Imagine brings clarity and insight
to the most mysterious function of our brain-creativity.

The Quest for Meaning
Tariq Ramadan
PB AUD22.95
|
|
This book is a journey, and an initiation.
In a world so full of different beliefs and viewpoints,
how can we find peace in our shared humanity?
The Quest for Meaning will take you on a journey
to discover the profound truths that bind us all
together.
Acclaimed thinker and philosopher
Tariq Ramadan explores universal ideas such as
love, respect, truth and tolerance, and examines
questions such as how can men and women relate
to each other? What is the true nature of equality?
What does 'civilization' really mean?
In doing so, he opens our minds
to a new view of humanity. Whether we are Christian
or Buddhist, Jewish or Muslim, secularist or believer,
he reveals that all traditions of thought spring
from the same place, and guides us to see past
what divides us and discover the beauty of what
we have in common.
This book has resonance for all
of us, showing why, eventually, all different
spiritual paths lead to the human heart.

Getting Past Your Past
Francine Shapiro
HC AUD34.95
|
|
Whether we've experienced small
setbacks or major traumas, we are all influenced
by memories and experiences we may not remember
or don't fully understand. Getting Past Your Past
offers practical procedures that demystify the
human condition and empower readers looking to
achieve real change.
Shapiro, the creator of EMDR (Eye
Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), explains
how our personalities develop and why we become
trapped into feeling, believing and acting in
ways that don't serve us.
Through detailed examples and exercises
you will learn to understand yourself, and why
the people in your life act the way they do. Most
importantly, you will also learn techniques to
improve your relationships, break through emotional
barriers, overcome limitations and excel in ways
taught to Olympic athletes, successful executives
and performers.
An easy conversational style, humor
and fascinating real life stories make it simple
to understand the brain science, why we get stuck
in various ways and what to do about it. Don't
let yourself be run by unconscious and automatic
reactions.

A Year With Hafiz
Daniel Ladinsky
PB AUD19.95
|
|
Though Hafiz lived in the fourteenth
century, his poems are still immensely popular.
His wisdom, his expressive language and his deep
reverence for beauty have made him a favourite
poet of lovers, and especially of lovers of God.
In this book, Daniel Ladinsky explores
with learned insight and a delicate hand Hafiz's
exquisite verses. He presents 365 poignant poems-including
a section based on the translations of Hafiz by
Ralph Waldo Emerson, that capture a spirit of
infinite tenderness and compassion, of great exuberance,
joy and laughter, of ecstatic love and fervent
longing, and of wonder and delight at the divine
splendour of the universe.
As Ladinsky says of his renderings,
'The wings of some of these poems just could not
resist unfurling, breaking out of conventional
space and cultural-bound time, hoping to lift
many in the wake of their freedom'.

The Soulmate Secret, Arielle Ford reveals
how to make love last forever once you've
found something worth hanging onto.
Love. It's right up there
with air, food, and water as the most necessary

perfectly imperfect together.

applies the wisdom of Wabi Sabi, the ancient
Japanese idea of illuminating the beauty
in imperfection, to love relationships.
Wabi Sabi Love is the practice of exploring,
embracing, and cherishing the quirks, irritations,
and limitations that make you and your partner
unique and that form your shared history
as a couple.
Wabi Sabi Love provides the tools to see
yourself, your partner, and your partnership
in an entirely new light, develop a deep
and profound appreciation for each other,
and experience more balance, harmony, and
joy in your relationship than ever before.

Finding Your Way
in a Wild New World
Martha Beck
HC AUD32.95
|
|
Finding Your Way in a Wild
New World is a remarkable path to the most
important discovery you can make: the knowledge
of what you should be doing with your one
wild and precious life.
Life coach and bestselling
author of Finding Your Own North Star Martha
Beck guides you to find out how you got
to where you are now and what you should
do next with clear, concrete instructions
on tapping into the deep, wordless knowledge
you carry in your body and soul. With her
ability to translate inner life into accessible,
witty, sparkling prose, Beck draws from
ancient wisdom and modern science to help
you consciously embrace your skills and
create the life you really want.
What she's found is that people
with great passion, empathy, and creative
potential often sense a higher calling,
in a society where that calling isn't even
recognized as real. They often have within
them a quiet power that could change the
world; they lack only the tools.
Beck offers real, actionable
methods to tap into that power. She shows
how to find your inner identity and your
external "tribe" of like-minded
people. She demonstrates the four simple
tools for transformation: Wordlessness,
Oneness, Imagination, and Creation.
With clear step-by-step instructions
and guided reflections, Beck shows how to
drop into the wordless state of communion
with nature and self, how to experience
for yourself the oneness between yourself
and the universe, how to be empowered by
the spark of inspiration, and, finally,
how to take action and realize creative
potential to make a lasting impact on the
world.

A Plate of Eggs
Stephen Denham
PB AUD39.95
|
|
The egg is an ancient symbol
of new life, rebirth, resurrection. It has
also represented throughout the ages - mystery,
magic, fertility.
The egg might also symbolise
the quest for truth, our search for meaning,
and the heartfelt questions that are its
compass.
A plate of eggs is thus an
offering of ideas able to transform our
consciousness, reminding us of our uniquely
human potential to become creators in our
own right.
