In "Hyde Park from Domesday-book to Date," John Ashton offers a meticulously researched chronicle tracing the rich history and evolution of one of London's most iconic green spaces.

The Gift of Anxiety - Harnessing...

Diante Fuchs

Your anxiety has an important message for you. Are you listening?

The mistake most people make with anxiety is trying everything in their power to get rid of it. They may try meditation and breathwork, medication or therapy. The aim is almost always the same: to get rid of anxiety because “anxiety is the problem.”

But anxiety is not the problem.

In fact, anxiety is a necessary and useful emotional response that has played a critical role in our survival for millions of years. Unfortunately, most of us have not been taught what to do with anxiety when it becomes loud and intrusive. So we become afraid of it and view anxiety as a problem we want to solve once and for all.

But getting rid of anxiety is impossible because it’s a natural emotional response. And trying to get rid of it only causes more anxiety because the more we fear anxiety, the more we feel it, until we become anxious about being anxious.

Anxiety comes to use when it has an important message. It is our internal alarm system for potential threats in life. It is designed to keep you safe and alert you to areas of your life that need attention. But when you treat anxiety like it is the problem without paying attention to its message for you, the deeper problems remain, and anxiety only gets louder.

In The Gift of Anxiety, clinical psychologist Diante Fuchs offers a new way to respond to anxiety. Sharing the unique EASE Method for working with anxiety, the book offers a powerful, calm approach that has helped hundreds of people transform their relationship with anxiety and with themselves. With this step-by-step guidance anyone can learn to how to stop fighting anxiety, listen to it, and use it as the gift it truly is.

This book is specifically designed to help those suffering from anxiety find peace one simple step at a time.

The Italian

Gary W. Hixon

Lewis Sinclaire’s earliest memory is that wherein his mother kisses him on the forehead and wishes him a happy birthday on the very day that she abandoned him. He never saw her again, but the memory is a happy one, nonetheless. But is a memory a true facsimile of what actually happened? During the lockdown of Spring 2020, Lewis, a restauranteur by trade, is forced to isolate with his dying father in the family home that he has despised all of his life. He is determined to use the time wisely, and over a game of chess and fuelled by a strong Irish Whiskey, he discovers that a memory is not the truth. He discovers precisely what went on between his mother and his father at the family villa in Le Marche, Italy, in nineteen-eighty-four, and why his mother had to abandon him.

But you don't look autistic at all

Bianca Toeps

Autism – that’s being able to count matches really fast and knowing that 7 August 1984 was a Tuesday, right? Well, no. In this book, Bianca Toeps explains in great detail what life is like when you’re autistic.She does this by looking at what science says about autism (and why some theories can go straight in the bin), but also by telling her own story and interviewing other autistics. Bianca talks in a refreshing and sometimes hilarious way about different situations autistic people encounter in daily life. She has some useful tips for non-autistic people too: what you should do if someone prefers not to look you in the eye, why it is sometimes better to communicate by email, and, most important of all, why it is not a compliment if you say: “But you don’t look autistic at all!”
