Everyday Resilience by Michelle Mitchell

$24.99 AUD

Category: Health

The way our children handle 'small knocks' is crucial, as it will be the foundation for much bigger things. Parents are wise to see each small knock as a teachable moment that has long-term significance. We can't dismiss or understate our child's daily experiences. Our children can 'have it all' and sti ll be ill-prepared to handle life's challenges. Despite the posters on our school's walls and the endless research on resilience, there has been a significant rise in mental illness over the past five years. For many of our young ones, resilience is much easier to talk about than put into practise. In this book Michelle shows every family how they can cultivate resilience in their children or adolescents by focussing on 7 key traits - courage, gratitude, empathy, self-awareness, responsibility, self-care and contribution. She answers questions like, How can I help my child be more confident? What do I say when my child is rejected by friends? How do I help a child who is struggling academically? What do I say when my child says, "I can't"? How do I help an anxious or shy child find their voice? What can I do to help them discover their potential? As a teacher, and founder of Youth Excel, Michelle has witnessed first-hand what works. Using every day scenarios and how-to actions, Michelle explains resilience in a way that will relate to every family. Her practical tone, humour and hands on experience provide every parent with tools to nurture strength in young lives. ...Show more

The 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet by Michael Mosley; Roy Taylor (Foreword by)

$29.99 AUD

Category: Health

From the author of the 1,000,000-copy bestselling Fast Diet ... Millions of us have dangerously high blood sugar - and we don't know it. There are no symptoms. We appear healthy. Yet raised blood sugar is storing up problems for the future. It furs up our arteries, piles hidden fat into our internal org ans and is a precursor not just to Type 2 diabetes but a range of diseases, including heart failure, dementia and cancer. Scientists in the UK have recently shown that rapid weight loss, when done properly, is an extremely effective way to kill dangerous fat, combat blood sugar problems, reverse Type 2 diabetes, perhaps even cure it. In this book, Dr Michael Mosley draws on the work of Professor Roy Taylor - one of the world's foremost diabetes experts - and his own experience as a one-time diabetic, to present a groundbreaking new approach to longterm health - a radical eight week diet for diabetics who want to reverse their condition and stay medication-free, as well as an easier, flexible regime for anyone just keen to keep their blood sugar levels in check. As Dr Mosley says, it is never too late to act... ...Show more

Remember by Lisa Genova

$32.99 AUD

Category: Health

A fascinating exploration of the intricacies of how we remember, why we forget, and what we can do to protect our memories, from the Harvard-trained neuroscientist and bestselling author of Still Alice. Have you ever felt a crushing wave of panic when you can't for the life of you remember the name of that actor in the movie you saw last week, or you walk into a room only to forget why you went there in the first place? If you're over forty, you're probably not laughing. You might even be worried that these lapses in memory could be an early sign of Alzheimers or dementia. In reality, for the vast majority of us, these examples of forgetting are completely normal. Why? Because while memory is amazing, it is far from perfect. Our brains aren't designed to remember every name we hear, plan we make, or day we experience. Just because your memory sometimes fails doesn't mean it's broken or succumbing to disease. Forgetting is actually part of being human. In Remember, neuroscientist and acclaimed novelist Lisa Genova delves into how memories are made and how we retrieve them. You'll learn whether forgotten memories are temporarily inaccessible or erased forever and why some memories are built to exist for only a few seconds (like a passcode) while others can last a lifetime (your wedding day). You'll come to appreciate the clear distinction between normal forgetting (where you parked your car) and forgetting due to Alzheimers (that you own a car). And you'll see how memory is profoundly impacted by meaning, emotion, sleep, stress, and context. Once you understand the language of memory and how it functions, its incredible strengths and maddening weaknesses, its natural vulnerabilities and potential superpowers, you can both vastly improve your ability to remember and feel less rattled when you inevitably forget. You can set educated expectations for your memory, and in doing so, create a better relationship with it. You don't have to fear it anymore. And that can be life-changing. Using her expertise as a neuroscientist and her gifts as a storyteller, Genova explains the nuances of human memory. As with her previous books, this is an engaging and edifying read.- Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, author of How the Mind Works. 'No one writes more brilliantly about the connections between the brain, the mind, and the heart. Remember is a beautiful, fascinating, and important book about the mysteries of human memory, what it is, how it works, and what happens when it is stolen from us. A scientific and literary treat that you will not soon forget.' - Daniel Gilbert, Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, New York Times bestselling author of Stumbling on Happiness 'In Remember, Lisa Genova provides easy-to-follow, no nonsense advice on how to maximize one of the greatest outputs of your brain, memory. But, more important, she also lets us know that while memory is a tremendous gift, the real you is much more than just what you can remember! -  Rudolph E. Tanzi, PhD, professor of neurology, Harvard Medical School, coauthor of The Healing Self ...Show more
