  PROSTrATE CANCER - The...

  Prostate cancer really is the little understood male killer. 
   
  1 in 8 UK males will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, more than 130 new cases are discovered each day and, on average, one man dies from the disease every 45 minutes. Despite these statistics, and the fact that there are getting on for half a million men living with, or in remission from, prostate cancer in the UK, the condition is rarely discussed publicly and most men ignore the warning signs. 
   
  Graham Sharpe wants to help change that. 
   
  Faced with a sudden and unexpected diagnosis, Graham managed - just - to overcome a desire to punch the medic charged with the task of telling him he had prostate cancer but who was keener to answer his mobile phone, and set about trying to catalogue what he went through en route to acquiring the condition and how he dealt with the grinding process of his treatment, despite having no idea of the ultimate outcome. 
   
  Along the way he met and befriended many others undergoing the physical and mental stresses of treatment, emotional turmoil comparable with watching their favourite football team lose every game they play. 
   
  In this intimate memoir charting his own personal experience of coming to terms with prostate cancer, Graham brings humour and a light touch to a serious subject. Combating the shortage of reading material written by anyone with direct personal experience of the disease, this book seeks to educate the ignorant, raise awareness of the risks and dispel myths - including the widely held belief that the name of the disease is in fact prostrate cancer. 
   
  Here's one man's personal truth about getting, having and possibly surviving prostate cancer... 
   
  “This disease can be deadly. Please encourage the men in your lives to be aware of their prostate, before it's too late...” LAUREN CLARK, wife of former England Cricket Captain Bob Willis who died of prostate cancer 
   
  “It's no secret, I'm no good with words but I do know about being diagnosed with cancer and my advice is read this book. Congrats Graham, informative, interesting and most importantly good advice - don't ignore the signs!” BOB CHAMPION CBE (Bob Champion Cancer Trust)

  The Game of Life and How to Play...

  "The Game of Life and How to Play It" by Florence Scovel Shinn is a self-help book written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the principles of spiritual law and positive thinking, suggesting that life is not a battle but a game that can be successfully navigated by understanding and applying these laws.  
  Shinn presents concepts such as the power of words, the importance of imagination, and the necessity of aligning one's thoughts and actions with a divine design for life. At the beginning of the text, she introduces the idea that life operates within a framework of giving and receiving, where one’s thoughts, words, and beliefs directly shape their experiences.  
  She explains various aspects of the mind, including the subconscious and superconscious, emphasizing that individuals can change their circumstances by altering their inner thoughts and beliefs. Through illustrative anecdotes, she demonstrates how fear, doubt, and negative thinking can manifest into real-life obstacles, while faith, love, and positive intent can lead to prosperity and success. This introductory portion sets the stage for deeper explorations of specific laws and affirmations that the author will discuss throughout the book.

  Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  This audiobook presents the complete, unabridged 1955 Second Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous—including the full basic text (pages 1–164) —line by line, alongside modern commentary designed to help any listener understand and apply the Twelve Steps. The original Big Book text is in the public domain, and this is a zero-profit project for the author. 
  The commentary never rewrites or modernises the Big Book. Instead, it follows each paragraph closely, offering clear, practical reflections that help listeners navigate the religious language, moral tone, and 1930s cultural framing without losing the depth of AA’s message. It speaks equally to believers, atheists, agnostics, and anyone who has struggled to interpret the Steps through the original wording. 
  Jude Barnes explores how the Big Book’s historical limitations—especially in the chapter We Agnostics—can create barriers for newcomers, and shows how the programme still works even where the argumentation falters. The aim is not to replace the Big Book but to open it up, offering a path into the Twelve Steps for those who have felt excluded, confused, or put off by the language. 
  This edition is for anyone who wants to take the Steps but isn’t sure what they truly mean; for those who sense power in the Big Book but can’t easily access it; for newcomers who want guidance; and for long-time members revisiting the text from a new angle. Nothing is summarised or altered—every line of the original is preserved, followed by commentary to help listeners understand the intention, meaning, and practical application. 
  Whether you’re approaching the Big Book for the first time or returning with new eyes, this audiobook offers a clear, inclusive route into the foundational text of recovery.

  From the conceptualizer of glimmers—prompts to help you savor the micromoments of joy and well-being in your day. 
   
   
   
  First coined in Deb Dana's book Polyvagal Theory in Therapy, "glimmers" are the micromoments in your day that spark a sense of joy. They can be anything from catching a view of the skyline to cuddling with your pet. Glimmers tell your nervous system that you are safe and okay in the world, thus shifting your system's response from defense to calm. When we notice and name glimmers, we train our nervous system to be open to more of these moments—expanding our overall sense of well-being. 
   
   
   
  This beautiful journal provides a framework for listeners to name and savor their glimmers. Expertly crafted prompts encourage listeners to notice various types of glimmers that they might otherwise be unaware of—such as glimmers in nature or in the arts, "every day" glimmers, social glimmers, and even the range of glimmer "flavors." Glimmers Journal is for anyone looking to build a foundation of wellness and regulation.

  I Know Why She Stayed

  "Sometimes it is easier to see the trauma in others than it is in our own lives. It is in reading that we find validation. And in I Know Why She Stayed I had that experience, over and over. I did not know the term "economic abuse" but I have suffered from it. It is that shared experience that gives us words and power, for if we can name it, we can mourn what we lost, allow ourselves to feel rage, and finally release our pain and say, 'never again.'" - Lara Lillibridge, author of The Truth About Unringing Phones: Essays on Yearning and Girlish: Growing Up in a Lesbian Home 
  From Itch Perfect to the bonds of friendship, two gameshow participants' lives intertwine when they discover a shared trauma that restricted and shaped their futures. One trapped in a financially abusive marriage, the other forced into debt as a child, they begin to unravel the disturbing events of a shared truth: I Know Why She Stayed.
