  Stress is a problem for many people. This practical book was written by a GP who developed her approach for dealing with stress to help her patients and felt it could help a wider audience. It was first available in 2014 but the latest version was released in 2024. The book is designed to encourage you (the reader) to reflect on what is causing stress in your life, how this stress is affecting you and on what you can change in your situation, and in yourself, to help you make life feel less stressful. There is plenty of space for you to jot down your thoughts. 
  The introduction includes a definition of the word 'stress', and is followed by a description of the Acute Stress Reaction. You are then asked to consider whether there are aspects of your life that you can change and if so, to focus your energy on bringing about these changes. From then on, the book focuses on how stress can affect you: your mind, your body and your spirit. You may recognise some of the thoughts, physical symptoms and feelings described. There is also a section on unhealthy coping behaviours, prompting personal reflection. It goes on to give practical advice to help life become less stressful for you. This advice focuses on helping you to control your mind and any anxious thoughts, and also on ways to look after your body and to restore your spirit. 
  It is hoped that through the process of reading this book, and reflecting as you go, you will gain a greater understanding of yourself and the way you respond to stressful situations and events. The book provides a handy reference tool which you can personalise by annotation and also by highlighting areas which are particularly useful. Through this process you will become more empowered to make changes which will hopefully make your life more manageable and enjoyable.

  Spring Summer Asteroid Bird -...

  An introduction to Eastern storytelling that opens listeners' minds to radically different ways of telling a satisfying story. 
   
   
   
  Discussions in the West around diversity in the arts often focus on the identities of characters and creators. Speculative fiction author and writing instructor Henry Lien makes the pathbreaking argument that diversity is about more than just plopping different faces into stories that are 100 percent Western in spirit; it can—and should—encompass diverse structures, themes, and values. 
   
   
   
  Using examples ranging from Parasite to The Thousand and One Nights to the Mario video game franchise, Lien shows how storytelling staples in the West, such as the three-act structure and themes of empowerment and change, are far from universal. He introduces the East Asian four-act structure (kishotenketsu), as well as circular and nested structures, and explains how Eastern value systems such as collectivism can dictate form. Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird is essential for any writer or reader who wants to broaden their understanding of how to tell a satisfying story. 
   
   
   
  This audiobook includes an original song written and performed by the author.

  Ottoman Empire’s Most Important...

  In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the 4th century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire. Constantinople would continue to serve as the capital of the Byzantine Empire even after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed in the late 5th century. Naturally, the Ottoman Empire would also use Constantinople as the capital of its empire after their conquest effectively ended the Byzantine Empire, and thanks to its strategic location, it has been a trading center for years and remains one today under the Turkish name of Istanbul.  
  The end of the Byzantine Empire had a profound effect not only on the Middle East but Europe as well. Constantinople had played a crucial part in the Crusades, and the fall of the Byzantines meant that the Ottomans now shared a border with Europe. Indeed, the Ottomans would clash with Russians, Austrians, Venetians, Polish, and more before collapsing as a result of World War I, when they were part of the Central powers.  
  In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It was a rise that would not truly start to wane until the 19th century. Preserving its mixed heritage, coming from both its geographic position rising above the ashes of the Byzantine Empire and the tradition inherited from the Muslim Conquests, the Ottoman Empire lasted more than six centuries.
