Did you know that 70% of people have experienced imposter syndrome at some point in their lives? Unfortunately, despite its prevalence, imposter syndrome is not well understood, and many people live their lives without realizing that they are victims of this all-too-common condition. In You Are Not an Imposter, Coline Monsarrat offers a powerful and personal exploration of this all-too-common condition. Through her raw and honest storytelling, Monsarrat shares her own journey of overcoming imposter syndrome, a condition that almost took her life in 2020. Part memoir and part guide, Monsarrat's book reveals how imposter syndrome can infiltrate all areas of our lives, from our careers to our health, without us even realizing it. She delves into the science behind the condition, discussing how it can bring self-doubt, perfectionism, low self-esteem and confidence, and people-pleasing, to name a few, and how it can ultimately hold us back from achieving our full potential. Using her own experience as a starting point, Monsarrat provides practical strategies for change, making this a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the impact of beliefs on behaviors and to reclaim control of their lives. You Are Not an Imposter is a transformative guide for anyone looking to unlock their full potential and live life on their own terms. From the author: "When I discovered my health condition had led me to develop imposter syndrome, it was a wake-up call. I realized I was doing myself a disservice by not acknowledging my own struggles and risking my life in the process. Feeling like a fraud in my own disease took a toll on my physical and mental health, but with newfound understanding, I turned my life around. I made it my mission to overcome imposter syndrome for myself and others facing similar challenges."Ver libro
A meticulous doctor's all-consuming search for the cure to her father's Alzheimer's leads to a discovery she did not expect. Dementia need not be a disaster or a dread; instead it can be a doorway to creating a smarter brain, stronger body and more fulfilling life. Moment by moment, our brain is changing in response to everything we do, think, feel and experience. This is known as neuroplasticity. We are not passive victims of our genes, our past or our environment. We play an active role in how our brain develops throughout our life, and it's never too late - or too early - to boost our brain, avert Alzheimer's and defy dementia. Dr Helena is one of the world's leading experts on improving brain function and she draws on three decades of personal and professional experience to offer a new paradigm for enhancing our brain to enrich our life at every age. Filled with groundbreaking scientific insights and laugh-out-loud stories of Dad and daughter's adventure with dementia, Dr Helena reveals that education is more powerful than medication and we can all grow bolder rather than older. This autobiographical page-turner reads like a neuro-thriller and shows how we can age better than we ever imagined. Ageing is inevitable. Mental decline is not. What readers will learn:Why brain health needs to be top of mind for everyoneHow we can change our own brainHow to improve memory, focus and creativityWhat is the best diet and exercise for our brain?What is dementia?

As long as you’re alive and breathing, you have a say in what direction your life will take. Just keep living. After seven years of marriage, multiple miscarriages, and three beautiful children, Loreal’s life changed in an instant when she found out that her husband, her first and only love, had a secret. At first, they embraced an untraditional solution, separating romantically but choosing to live in the same house to continue raising their children together. But ultimately, at thirty-two, Loreal would need to start over in life, find herself, and pave her own way forward. Loreal used to make decisions based on internal fear and arbitrary timelines—until life started making decisions for her. In her inspirational memoir, she decides to step up and start taking control of her own destiny. Choosing to look back and learn from her past, with new insight, Loreal draws from the wisdom of her grandmother and her own personal journey to embolden readers to take control of their futures and turn change into fuel for self-discovery. By remembering her grandmother’s phrase, “keep living,” she realizes that no matter what your past looks like, you are responsible for your own future.Ver libro
‘A persuasive manifesto for a better Britain.’ Observer Book of the Day Britain needs a fresh start. This timely book by one of the stars of the new government shows how to achieve it. In this brilliant and accessible intervention, Lisa Nandy reveals how Britain can leave behind the mess in which we find ourselves. All In charts a course towards a fairer, more equal, more prosperous country by drawing on the greatest asset we have – each other. Rapid global changes, political division and economic crisis have left Britain reeling. For decades, large swathes of the country have been shut out, condemned to low productivity, underinvestment and managed decline, and stripped of their voice. With most major cities now beset with high housing costs, air pollution and congestion, even the ‘winners’ are losing. All In shows how, by handing power and resources to people with a stake in the outcome, Britain can draw on the talent, assets and potential in every part of the country and start firing on all cylinders again. Finding strength rather than fear in our differences, it reimagines the relationship between people and government so that all of us can play our part in meeting the challenges of our age and rebuilding Britain the only way that works – together. Lucid, clear-eyed and hopeful, this book sets out how we restore values, energy and direction to our politics and offers a glimpse of the alternative future that remains within our grasp. Nandy's autobiography is a personal exploration of the process of political change, offering a best case scenario for a united, prosperous Britain. Drawing on history and economics, she presents a compelling vision for the 21st century. For fans of Wes Streeting (One Boy, Two Bills and a Fry Up), Gordon Brown (My Life, Our Times), Jess Phillips (Truth to Power), Chris Bryant (Code of Conduct), and Sebastian Payne (Broken Heartlands).

Fear Is Just a Word is a gripping true story of defiance, resilience, and the quiet power of a voice that refused to disappear. Set in the heart of El Salvador’s brutal gang wars, this audiobook follows Karla—a young woman whose mother was murdered in cold blood—as she transforms from grieving daughter to fearless activist. But this isn’t just a tale of crime and courage. It’s a profound exploration of how fear is used to control, and how it can be dismantled when faced with clarity, truth, and unrelenting persistence. Through vivid storytelling and sharp insight, the author reveals how personal trauma becomes collective resistance—and how ordinary people can challenge even the most entrenched systems of violence. If you’ve ever faced fear—in life, leadership, or your own internal battles—this audiobook will inspire you to name it, confront it, and move through it.Ver libro
