Sinossi

Unlocking lasting happiness through brain chemistry is the main focus of Happy Brain. It explores how understanding neuroscience, laughter, and the science of humor can significantly improve our overall well-being. The book reveals that happiness isn't a fixed trait but a skill that can be developed. Recent advancements in neuroscience allow us to map brain activity with unprecedented precision, offering insights into reward pathways and neurotransmitter functions, like dopamine and serotonin's roles in regulating mood.

The book progresses by first introducing neuroanatomy and key neurotransmitters. Then, it examines laughter's physiological effects and the science of humor, dissecting why certain jokes trigger positive emotions. It then transitions into cognitive biases and positive habit cultivation for sustained happiness. This approach empowers readers to take control of their emotional well-being by incorporating mindfulness, gratitude, and stress management techniques into daily life.

Happy Brain stands out by offering a nuanced, evidence-based approach to understanding happiness, different from simplistic self-help guides. It synthesizes findings related to positive psychology and affective neuroscience, providing actionable strategies for improving mood and mental health. By connecting neuroscience with psychology and sociology, the book presents a comprehensive understanding of how social interactions and mindset affect our positive emotions and mental well-being.

Ancient Wonderings: Journeys...

James Canton

‘Intensely alive to the landscape; its pasts, people and creatures’ Robert Macfarlane
Take a journey into our ancient past. Explore a long-lost landscape and gradually discover the minds, beliefs and cultural practices of those souls who lived on these lands thousands of years before you.
Travelling the length and breadth of Britain, James Canton pursues his obsession with the physical traces of the ancient world: stone circles, flint arrowheads, sacred stones, gold, and a lost Roman road. He ponders the features of the natural world that occupied ancient minds: the night sky, shooting stars, the rising and setting sun. Wandering to the furthest reaches of the islands, he finds an undeciphered standing stone north of Aberdeen and follows the first footsteps on the edge of a long-lost Ice Age land in the North Sea.
As Canton walks the modern terrain, slowly understanding the ancient signs that lie within and beneath it, he weaves a gentle tale of discovery, showing how, beyond the superficial differences of life-style and culture, the ancient inhabitants of the British Isles were much closer to the present-day one than we might imagine.
This historical masterpiece by James Canton takes us on a top-tier exploration of geography and history. It's a bestseller that delves deep into the roots of our ancient past, making it a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the world we live in today.
For fans of Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), Amy Jeffs (Storyland), Matthew Green (Shadowlands), Katherine May (Enchantment), and Roger Deakin (Waterlog).

The Prince

Niccolò Machiavelli

The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (Of Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings". Although it was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. Niccolò Machiavelli, belongs to such prominent Florentines as Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli

Writing Archetypal Character...

K.M. Weiland

The Six Transformational Character Arcs of the Human Life 
Ready to take your story’s character arcs and themes to the next level? This latest book from veteran writing teacher and story theorist K.M. Weiland ventures far beyond the popular and pervasive Hero’s Journey to explore six important archetypal character arcs, representing key moments of initiation in the human experience:The MaidenThe HeroThe QueenThe KingThe CroneThe Mage 
Found in every genre from fantasy to drama to romance to adventure, these transformational stories are the secret of powerhouse fiction—as shown through a wide variety of real-story examples throughout the book. 
Writing Archetypal Character Arcs will teach you:The archetypal beats for each of the six journeysWhich archetypes are right for your particular storyThe best way to use archetypes in a seriesHow to choose the right archetypes for supporting charactersHow to use archetypes to identify your story’s theme 
You will also learn how to deepen your stories by implementing shadow archetypes (the negative sides of each positive archetype), resting or “flat” archetypes (the fixed stage between each of the main arcs), and archetypal antagonists (the epic antagonistic forces that oppose each of the positive archetypes in their journeys). The Hero’s Journey is just the beginning. 
Learning about archetypal character arcs will change the way you view stories—and life—forever.
