  A diagnosis of bipolar disorder can be scary... but it also opens up an opportunity for growth and stability. Ready to find the answers? Around one in every 100 people is diagnosed with bipolar disorder at some point in their lives… but if you're one of them, it probably feels more isolating than that. Despite the rising awareness of mental health challenges, it's a condition still shrouded in misunderstanding, and while you're caught up in the extreme highs and lows it presents, it's difficult to understand it yourself, let alone help anyone else to understand it. A diagnosis can bring a sense of relief—an explanation to help you finally make sense of what's been happening with you… but it can also be scary. Mariah Carey, who's spoken outwardly about her experience with bipolar disorder, said that she "didn't want to believe" it when she was given her diagnosis… and perhaps that's a feeling you can relate to. It can make you feel terribly alone, especially when you don't understand all the nuances of bipolar disorder or how to manage it well… But this is where your diagnosis is a blessing. Now that you know you have it, you can dive beneath the hood and implement techniques that you didn't know to try before now. But when there's so much to know, where do you start? Right here. Written by an author whose diagnosis marked a positive turning point, this empathetic and holistic approach to understanding and managing bipolar disorder will show you exactly what you need to know. Whether you're living with the condition yourself or you're caring for someone who is, your journey toward understanding starts here. You might think a diagnosis is the end of your journey… It all makes sense now, after all. But this is just the start of your path—because with a deeper understanding and a wealth of strategies you can turn to at any time, you can completely transform your daily experience.

  This is an education book that is like no other that has gone before. It won't tell you what to do minute by minute, lesson by lesson, day by day. It won't batter you with impenetrable research or tell you what you must think. You won't even find a scheme of work in it some planning ideas, for sure, even a template or two, but there's no spoon-feeding here. It's just a book that invites you to consider where you are in your own educational journey. It's a book to get youbothered.
  Botheredness is a word Hywel Roberts uses to sum up the kind of authentic care and adult positioning that is real and deliberate and gets children and young people on board with learning. It is the holy grail of teaching and something that will both significantly improve your enjoyment of teaching and benefit your classes enormously.
  This book is therefore an exploration of the road less travelled, backed up with Hywel's own experiences, reflections and research down the rabbit hole of contemporary education. It's about the reinstatement of professional integrity, the teacher as storyteller, and the need for our professional imaginations to be nurtured and curated. Hywel sets out to help teachers enhance their understanding of what it means to lead learning and thinking, to stand beside children as well as in front of them, whilst developing their knowledge acquisition with compassion, warmth and optimism.
  If you are looking for an education book that will inspire not dictate, that will entertain, challenge and fire up your imagination in equal measure,that allows you to think beyond a path laid out by scripted lessons, downloadable schemes and quick-fix fads, then this is the book for you.
  Providing clear strategies around imaginative and effective planning, supported by genuine examples of powerful classroom work from primary, special and secondary settings, this book is an essential guide to reclaiming your professional warmth, passion, and care - your botherednesss - in the classroom. Written by a travelling teacher and film buff who's on a mission to put botheredness into classrooms everywhere.

  Cosmic order - 7 June 1980  
  • Is there an order which is not man-made? 
  • Can the brain ever be free from the impositions, pressures, wounds, bruises, all 
  the trivialities of existence? 
  • Time is my whole existence. I take refuge in the past, which cannot be 
  changed. Why does the brain accept this way of living, and why doesn’t it break it down? 
  • As long as I have my roots in the past there cannot be order. 
  • If the universe is not of time, can the mind which has been entangled in time, 
  unravel itself and so be the universe?

  Synchronicity - An Acausal...

  This audiobook narrated by John Telfer introduces listeners to Jung's groundbreaking ideas about synchronicity
  
  C. G. Jung was intrigued from early in his career with coincidences, especially those surprising juxtapositions that scientific rationality could not adequately explain. He discussed these ideas with Albert Einstein before World War I but first used the term "synchronicity" in a 1930 lecture, in reference to the unusual psychological insights generated from consulting the I Ching. A long correspondence and friendship with the Nobel Prize–winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli stimulated a final, mature statement of Jung's thinking on synchronicity, originally published in 1952 and reproduced here. Together with a wealth of historical and contemporary material, this essay describes an astrological experiment Jung conducted to test his theory. Synchronicity reveals the full extent of Jung's research into a wide range of psychic phenomena.
