Seven Myths About Education

Daisy Christodoulou

In this controversial new book, Daisy Christodoulou offers a thought-provoking critique of educational orthodoxy. Drawing on her recent experience of teaching in challenging schools, she shows through a wide range of examples and case studies just how much classroom practice contradicts basic scientific principles. She examines seven widely-held beliefs which are holding back pupils and teachers:Facts prevent understandingTeacher-led instruction is passiveThe 21st century fundamentally changes everythingYou can always just look it upWe should teach transferable skillsProjects and activities are the best way to learnTeaching knowledge is indoctrinationIn each accessible and engaging chapter, Christodoulou sets out the theory of each myth, considers its practical implications and shows the worrying prevalence of such practice. Then, she explains exactly why it is a myth, with reference to the principles of modern cognitive science. She builds a powerful case explaining how governments and educational organisations around the world have let down teachers and pupils by promoting and even mandating evidence-less theory and bad practice.This blisteringly incisive and urgent text is essential reading for all teachers, teacher training students, policy makers, head teachers, researchers and academics around the world.

Sleep Story-Luminous Labyrinth

Scott Bay

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
Lea’s mind won’t power down. After midnight, her thoughts loop like unfinished code—until she enters the VR sanctuary she built to quiet the noise. Inside, light becomes a guide: glowing arches, slow rivers of data, and gentle harmonic patterns that soften breath and hush the nervous system. 
Luminous Labyrinth is meditative fiction designed for bedtime—part calm sci-fi, part guided unwinding. There are no cliffhangers here, only a tender descent: from shimmering thresholds to cocoon-like stillness, where logic dissolves and rest begins. 
Perfect for busy brains, coders, and overthinkers, this story trades adrenaline for ambiance—subtle soundscapes, weightless imagery, and a steady rhythm that invites sleep rather than alertness. Turn a page, dim the day, and let the labyrinth’s quiet architecture carry you toward deep, effortless rest.
