  We all want the power and motivation to create change in our lives. But how to get that in a stumbling dance of one step forward and two steps back? Negative emotions run rampant in many people’s lives today; a reality that feels like a shrink wrap of suffering. Popular fallback “solutions” of performance-based goals and tools focus on extrinsic rewards like fame, wealth, or winning. But overuse of those rewards doesn’t work for the long term and in fact weakens our confidence and motivation over time, leaving us vulnerable to failure and shame. 
  It doesn’t have to be that way. Through three decades of researching and tracking such universal struggles to change our behavior, Dr. Kyra Bobinet unveils the way out, using novel neuroscience research on a compelling new brain area, the habenula. In this book, she reveals the habenula’s powerful role in killing our motivation and causing anxiety and depression and offers a foolproof way to escape its clutches.

  The Jury - A Very Short...

  Almost every society has professional judges, but from ancient Athens to modern Asia, cultures have wanted ordinary people involved in legal decisions. The use of juries comes with challenges; societies must determine how to select jurors, what cases jurors should decide and by what rules, and how to inform jurors about the law and evidence. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction shows how and why societies around the world have used juries, charting the spread of the twelve-person jury from England to the British colonies in America, Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, and the Caribbean. In criminal cases, use of lay jurors has stretched to nations in Europe, Latin America, and Asia as they aspire to democracy, greater popular participation in government, and legitimacy of the justice system. But in English-speaking countries, jury trials are declining. Civil juries have been virtually abolished everywhere except the United States, and even there they are rare. In criminal cases, plea bargaining is now taking the place of jury trials. In this book, Renée Lettow Lerner describes the benefits and challenges of using juries, including jury nullification, and considers how innovations from non-English-speaking countries may be key to the survival of lay participation.

  How to Hack Your Vagus Nerve -...

  The vagus nerve is the most important nerve you probably didn’t know you had. 
  The vagus nerve is a long meandering bundle of motor and sensory fibers that links the brain stem to the heart, lungs, and gut. It also branches out to touch and interact with the liver, spleen, gallbladder, ureter, female fertility organs, neck, ears, tongue, and kidneys. 
  Dr Justin Hoffman, a Santa Rosa, California, licensed naturopathic medical physician, says: 
  “Without the vagus nerve, key functions that keep us alive would not be maintained.” 
  Nationally recognized sports nutritionist, strength, and conditioning coach Brandon Mentore elaborates: 
  “The vagus nerve is extremely critical to your overall health and is intimately tied in with multiple organs and systems of the body.” 
  Vagus nerve dysfunction can result in a whole host of problems including obesity, bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal diseases, fainting, mood disorders, B12 deficiency, chronic inflammation, impaired cough, and seizures. 
  Meanwhile, the vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve conditions such as: 
  - Anxiety disorder 
  - Heart disease 
  - Tinnitus 
  - Obesity 
  - Alcohol addiction 
  - Migraines 
  - Alzheimer’s 
  - Leaky gut 
  - Bad blood circulation 
  - Mood disorder 
  - CancerWhether you are feeling anxiety or depression, you can use tools to engage your social nervous system to re-establish higher order nervous system functions.

  Beyond the Hurt - Understanding...

  Dr Murli Krishna

  Why does pain continue long after an injury has healed? Why can scans look “normal” when the pain feels anything but? 
  In Beyond the Hurt, Consultant in Pain Medicine Dr Murli Krishna offers a clear, compassionate explanation of why pain can become chronic — and what that really means. 
  This audiobook explores how the nervous system processes pain, how it can become overprotective, and why persistent pain does not necessarily mean ongoing damage. Using accessible language and grounded neuroscience, Dr Krishna explains central sensitisation, the role of sleep and stress, why pain can spread or fluctuate, and why treatments sometimes help — and sometimes don’t. 
  Importantly, this is not a book about pushing through pain or thinking positively. It is about understanding how the body’s alarm system works — and how it can learn to feel safe again. 
  Listeners will gain: 
  • A clear explanation of chronic pain mechanisms 
  • Reassurance when scans and tests are normal 
  • Insight into flare-ups and setbacks 
  • Practical guidance on calming the pain system 
  • A realistic, hopeful framework for recovery 
  Written for people living with ongoing pain — as well as clinicians, therapists, and caregivers — this audiobook replaces fear with understanding and confusion with clarity. 
  Persistent pain is not imagined. It has reasons. 
  And when pain becomes less mysterious, it often becomes less frightening. 
  Beyond the Hurt offers direction, reassurance, and a science-based path toward living well beyond pain.
