We think we know the answers to questions like these, confident that the common assumptions explain everything. Unfortunately we couldn't be more wrong, and economist Steven D. Levitt and writer Stephen J. Dubner are here to show you why.

    Utilizing and effectively employing the power of your mind and your brain are essential prerequisites for achieving anything great in life. However, when it comes to the development of their own mind power or brain power many people are clueless. They are not even aware that they possess the means of changing their brain’s circuitry through neuroplasticity based techniques. Neuroplasticity or brain plasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt as a result of experience. The brain actually has the ability to reorganize itself by creating new neural pathways. So how do you go about increasing your mind power as well as your brain power so that they are both operating at an optimal level? 
    In his book entitled Mind Power: The Never Revealed Secret Ways To Achieve Greatness Using Mind Mastery And Neuroplasticity author John Waters shows you exactly how. He gives you a thorough understanding of how your brain functions and provides you with the tricks you need to achieve your greatest self—whether that be your most creative, attractive, intelligent, intuitive, or athletic side.

    A Curious Curriculum - Teaching...

    Written by Claire Banks and Mick Waters, A Curious Curriculum: Teaching foundation subjects well details the insightful and transformational steps that a school can take towards designing and delivering a rich, rigorous and wide-ranging curriculum.
    Foreword by Mary Myatt.
    Rather than being a model curriculum that can be uprooted and planted in any school, the book is a model schools can use to design their own curriculum, one that not only encourages children to be active participants in their own learning, but also to see the benefits of being part of a bigger, wider family of learners.
    The authors concentrate on the foundation subjects, particularly history, geography and science but also design and technology (DT) and art and design areas that are often challenging for teachers in primary schools. Subjects are brought together and explored under "big ideas" and, crucially, the emphasis is on avoiding the superficial and trivial and rooting teaching in extending and challenging children.
    In A Curious Curriculum, Claire Banks and Mick Waters share the story of one multi-academy trust (MAT) which designed and delivered a shared educational vision, a rationale for excellence in the curriculum, and the resources and support given to help reduce teachers' workload.
    Claire and Mick present a clear model both for supporting a group of schools or leading one school, offering a fresh perspective on working on a MAT-wide curriculum, as well as providing a range of snapshot examples of the curriculum in action in the form of documents, plans, photos and the learners' own work. The book shares transferrable lessons from the trust's journey to success, setting out an educational philosophy that pairs pedagogy with a well-structured curriculum designed with learners' best interests at its heart.
    All children deserve an engaging, exciting curriculum designed to spark their curiosity, feed their imagination and develop their skills and knowledge. With clear timelines and an honest and transparent dialogue about the challenges and benefits of working together collaboratively and the importance of external expertise, A Curious Curriculum is an essential read for all school leaders.
    Suitable for executive leaders, head teachers, curriculum coordinators and subject leaders in primary school settings.

  • Schizophrenia - The Ultimate Guide to Understanding the Causes Symptoms and Treatment of Schizophrenics - cover

    Schizophrenia - The Ultimate...

    This is a 3-book bundle, which addresses various subtopics, including but not limited to these: 
      
      
    Book 1: Schizophrenia is more common than you think. And there are a lot of false myths about it. Some people it’s similar to multiple personality disorder, but this notion is far from the truth. Others say it’s only related to voices or addictions. But there is more to it than that. 
      
    In this guide, we will shed more light on this important matter. Schizophrenia should be understood, empathized with, and acknowledged. Those who have it, are people, like all of us, with a slight disorder in their brain that has some negative side effects (and even a few positive ones).  
      
      
    Book 2: In this guide, we’ll show you a brief history of schizophrenia. By understanding what has happened in the past, present analyses will become clearer. Also, the concept of synchronicity will become apparent, as well as the side effects of schizophrenia that relate to suicidal tendencies, depression, bipolarity, etc. 
      
      
    Book 3: Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that’s commonly inherited from the previous generation(s). But what makes this disorder so different from other ones? And more importantly, what can we do about it? 
      
    One of the things that many people overlook, is that those who have schizophrenia lack high doses of Vitamin D. Other side effects are that they are typically highly creative, that they suffer from psychosis during stressful times in their lives, and their social interactions with others can have various impacts. 
      
    Read about all these positive and negative consequences, so that you, too, can have a better grasp of the disorder and cope with it more effectively.
