  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Acceptance Without Surrender reveals a powerful mindset shift inspired by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and values based living. Instead of fighting painful thoughts, difficult emotions, or circumstances you cannot control, you will learn how to accept reality while taking meaningful action toward the life you truly want. Research consistently identifies acceptance, mindfulness, psychological flexibility, anxiety, depression, and values based action as central topics within ACT, making them highly relevant search terms for readers looking for practical mental health and self improvement resources. 
   
  Inside this practical guide, you'll discover: 
   
  • Why resisting reality often creates more suffering than the original problem. 
  • How psychological flexibility helps you move forward with confidence. 
  • Simple mindfulness exercises to calm racing thoughts. 
  • Practical techniques for handling anxiety, stress, fear, grief, and uncertainty. 
  • The power of cognitive defusion to stop believing every thought your mind produces. 
  • How to identify your deepest values and make decisions that align with them. 
  • Small daily actions that create lasting personal transformation. 
   
  Whether you are struggling with anxiety, burnout, overthinking, self doubt, difficult relationships, or major life changes, this book offers practical tools that can be applied immediately. Drawing from proven ACT principles, it helps you develop resilience without toxic positivity, self compassion without excuses, and acceptance without surrender. 
   
  If you are looking for a practical Acceptance and Commitment Therapy book, a mindfulness and emotional resilience guide, a psychological flexibility workbook, or a self help book for anxiety and overthinking, this book provides an accessible roadmap for creating lasting change while staying true to your values.

  The heartwarming and hilarious part-memoir, part-guide from comedian and father-of-six Ashley Blaker, on parenting, adoption and raising children with special needs. 
  ‘A funny, irreverent and loving book’ Daily Express 
  ‘We had such a variety of experts visiting our home, we really needed a revolving door. All these professionals would watch our son playing while shaking their heads and making tutting sounds, like builders considering a bad job you wanted them to fix. “Tut tut tut. No speech, disordered social skills, sensory issues. This is going to cost you!!”’ 
  Ashley Blaker has six children, three of whom have an SEN diagnosis. Between endless meetings, countless therapists, public humiliations, failed playdates, surreal monologues and occasional violence, it’s certainly not what anyone would call a ‘normal’ household – but would he want it any other way? 
  Normal Schmormal is part-memoir, part how-to guide, highlighting the many challenges, as well as the hugely rewarding elements, of parenting children with additional needs. Written with humour, compassion and a lot of love, it’s a must-read for parents, carers and teachers of children with SEN, either looking for a bit of support or in need of a very big laugh. 
  In Normal Schmormal, Ashley Blaker, a father and comedian, takes us on a humorous and heartwarming journey through the challenges and rewards of raising children with special needs. This latest autobiography is a must-read for parents, carers, and teachers alike, offering a unique perspective on fatherhood, family, and fostering relationships with children with disabilities. 
  For fans of Eliza Fricker (Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person), Dr. Naomi Fisher (The Teenager's Guide to Burnout), Ellie Middleton (How to be You), Lisa C. Qualls (Faith, Hope, & Connection), and Catherine L. Abbott (Mindful Parenting for Autistic Children).

  • 0

  In underserved communities across the United States, violence, food insecurity, unstable housing, lead poisoning, and other factors such as racist redlining policies negatively impact young people's everyday experiences―and their futures. What opportunities are available to young Black people living in these neighborhoods? What are their survival expectations? Who can they look to for support? Lorece V. Edwards offers a thought-provoking and timely account of the day-to-day experience of living in America's neglected neighborhoods. 
   
  Edwards examines the reality of growing up Black in marginalized communities and provides a nuanced perspective of the daily lives of these youths. Many of the practices for which these young people are demonized are survival strategies. Structural violence plays a key role in their opportunities to be successful. Using Baltimore as a case study, Edwards examines the historical roots of how these neighborhoods developed. 
   
  The narrative is enriched through firsthand accounts of youth who live in these neighborhoods. Incorporating the results of longitudinal research projects focused on sexual health, substance use, communicable diseases, and decision-making among minority youth, Edwards provides recommendations for how to address systemic issues and change the trajectory of these children's futures.

  Andrey Kurkov's urgent, humane and unforgettable war diaries continue in a poignant, personal account of life under siege in Ukraine – rich with humanity, dark humour, and unforgettable glimpses of resilience amidst devastation.
  `A vivid, moving and sometimes funny account of the reality of life during Russia's invasion´ Marc Bennetts, The Times
  `Uplifting and utterly defiant´ Matt Nixson, Daily Express
  `No one with the slightest interest in this war, or the nation on which it is being waged, should fail to read Andrey Kurkov´ Dominic Lawson, Daily Mail
  ____
  Andrey Kurkov's war diaries continue: A profound and deeply personal chronicle of life under siege.
  In this second volume of his acclaimed war diaries, Ukraine's greatest living writer bears witness to a nation enduring the unendurable. From his home in Kyiv, Kurkov captures the surreal and the life-shattering: children learning algebra in metro stations turned bomb shelters, holidaymakers sunbathing on mined beaches, and farmers sowing fields shadowed by missile strikes.
  On its eastern borders, Ukrainian citizens are put into "filtration camps", en route to Russia … or to execution. To the north, Belarusian forces press refugees into service as mine detectors.
  This is a lived account – rich with startling vignettes, dark humour and devastating detail – of a country adapting, resisting, surviving. A child downloads movies to a smartphone to watch during nightly power cuts. An elderly Japanese man feeds the hungry in Kharkiv. A soldier carefully rehomes a swarm of bees. A winemaker uses scrap wooden shell crates to package gift sets. A Ukrainian gunner inscribes messages on shells and rockets aimed for Russia: "For Bakhmut", he writes. The family of a journalist killed in the Donbas sells their home to open a bookshop in his memory.
  Our Daily War is Kurkov at his most intimate and insightful: a record of resilience, heartbreak and fierce national pride. Urgent, humane, unforgettable, this is history as it happens, and as only Kurkov can write it.

  What do you do when you lose more than you can afford, when the stable bridge you’ve been crossing suddenly gives way and you find yourself plummeting into a chasm of fear and self-doubt? 
  After losing a dear friend and fellow firefighter to suicide, Steve is left shaken and leaves the fire service forever – or so he thinks. While trying to decide what his future holds, Steve takes us through his past. From Firefighter to Assistant Chief, a winning lottery ticket to a twist of fate, a series of strange health problems and devastating injury, Steve pulls us along the dizzying journey with him. And just when we think it can’t possibly get any worse for him, he leads us to the edge. And then the healing begins. 
  Although a sequel to his first book, The Unbroken, Extinguished is a story of its own, stranger than fiction, and another incredible example of Steve’s willingness to lay everything on the line to help anyone suffering from mental illness. At the same time, this isn’t a book just for them, or just for first responders. It is powerfully human and will resonate with everyone who reads it.
