  Think Less Sleep More - From...

  A smart and sometimes counterintuitive (who cares when you go to bed?) guide that will solve readers’ sleep anxiety once and for all!  If there’s anything worse that not getting sleep, it’s lying awake with a scare-face staring at the ceiling worrying about it. Here’s Romiszewski’s—a sleep physiologist and founder of the UK’s Sleepyhead Clinics  —  promise: “This book is your guide to liberating yourself from the endless cycle of sleep anxiety and obsession. By the end, you’ll have regained control – not through perfection, but by letting go of the need to constantly manage your sleep. Sleep will start working for you, not as something to fear or fix, but as your natural ally. And best of all, it will no longer dominate your thoughts.”THINK LESS, SLEEP MORE is a sensible take on sleep with some counterintuitive twists to current accepted dogma, such as that we all need more sleep and that segmented sleep  —  aka waking up in the middle of the night  —  is a killer. It’s a health and wellness sigh-of-relief book: there are some readjustments to make, both mental and physical, but a key takeaway is that whatever you’re doing now is probably better than you think.Among other counterintuitive insights, Romiszewski reveals:--The importance of a consistent wake-time rather than a rigid bedtime--How to trust your body’s natural sleep drive and rhythms--That ‘bad’ nights neither ruin the next day, nor, necessarily, your health, and that variability is normal--That sleep isn’t fragile—it’s adaptable, resilient, and smarter than any hack you could throw at it--The myth of 8 hours--The power of lightFor an audience who found Matthew Walker’s “Why We Sleep” a bit daunting, Romiszewski’s is the sensible, seasoned, calming voice you want to think of a 3AM.

  Why Matter Doesn't Matter:...

  Expand your mind and shift your vantage point on reality with Why Matter Doesn't Matter — a paradigm-shifting exploration of physics and consciousness.  
   
  Drawing on insights from modern physics like relativity and quantum mechanics, Samuel Avery builds a compelling case that consciousness itself is fundamental — and that space, time, and the familiar dimensions we experience are phenomena arising within consciousness rather than existing as an external physical reality. 
   
  Avery provides a new lens for understanding the greatest enigmas of physics, helping listeners transcend the limitation of seeing the universe as purely material and question the foundations upon which our current paradigms rest. 
  In the final chapter, Avery invites listeners to embark on an experiential journey — a practical approach to directly experiencing the dimensional nature of perception and reality as rooted in consciousness itself.  
   
  Whether you're a curious newcomer, a student of physics, or a spiritual seeker, Why Matter Doesn't Matter offers a paradigm-shifting exploration into the very fabric of existence, shedding new light on the mysteries of the universe and our role within it.

  Curiosity - Farmers Discovering...

  Farming and ranching success comes from the freedom to fail because there is no silver bullet. Curiosity – Farmers Discovering What Works tells journeys farmers make to find solutions that are kinder to the environment, easier on the pocket and bring purpose, pride and confidence to those in the most complex profession there is. Each story has nuggets of inspiration and insight to stimulate observation and logic in farming matters. 
  John's perspectives are associated with the practices and principles of Allan Savory's Holistic Management, which though habits and routines, changes how farmers observe, question and probe for solutions. John teaches this in New Zealand and assists with farmers around the globe as a tutor for Holistic Management International. John draws on similarly minded farmers and experts such as Joel Salatin, Gabe Brown, Allan Nation, Allen Williams, Fred Provenza, Christine Jones, Charles Massy and others offering commercial farmers new directions and insights. 
  Reviews include: 
  …his purposeful “short, sharp” essays are designed for busy people. “Hopefully it’s style will remind you of Allan Nation.” Yes, John King did indeed capture Allan’s wise pithiness. I found myself underlining or circling something in virtually every essay. It’s dense, packed with sensible advice gleaned from dozens of on-farm experiments over numerous decades. Joel Salatin, editor, Stockman Grass Farmer, Missouri, USA 
  This invaluable and important book should be compulsory reading for anyone daring to manage farming landscapes with an eye to contributing to healthier farmscapes and catchments, rural families and their animals, and to a sustainable future. How I wish I could have read and lived in such a book as this when I was a young farmer preparing to make all the mistakes. A farming, social, and environmental gem. Charles Massy, author, Call of the Reed Warbler
