  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  In "Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst," Robert M. Sapolsky explores the complex factors that drive human behavior. The book delves into the neurobiological, hormonal, and environmental influences that shape actions, ranging from acts of violence to compassion. Sapolsky emphasizes the importance of understanding the context and meaning of behaviors rather than just their mechanics. He examines how events from a second to millennia before can affect the brain and produce behavior. The text moves through various topics, including the influence of genes, childhood experiences, and culture on our actions. The central idea of the text is that all behavior is a product of biology, and there is no separation between biology and free will. The text also explores the problematic nature of categories, particularly as they apply to "Us vs. Them" dynamics, and calls for the abolition of the current criminal justice system based on these biological understandings.

  When strange voices fill the air, what do you do? RUN? 
  Moving into our new home with my beautiful wife Cindy and daughter Naomi, we never expected our lives to change. 
  I started noticing weird things, but I didn't tell my wife. Was I going crazy? Why were things with my family not good? Why weren't my prayers answered? I prayed to God for help. 
  One day, while I was checking downstairs, my wife heard a voice in our room say, 'Hey, buddy.' It wasn't in her head; she heard it out loud. 
  What would YOU do in my place? 
  This book isn't just about horror. It's a mix of drama, my connection with God, family, mystery, and excitement. It's like a peek into my life with all these different things happening. 
  Here's what people said about my book: 
  'Eric's book kept me hooked!' - James Oliver, 32 
  'I finished Eric's book in three days! Can't wait for Netflix!' - Sarah Williams, 37, single mom 
  'Eric's story gave me goosebumps. It's different and sure to be a hit.' - Billy Richardson, 43, Businessman 
  Whenever you feel scared or need answers, you turn to God because you believe He's there to help and guide you. Like you, I love antiques and wanted to fill my house with them. I didn't care where they came from. But every passion has its downside, and I think I've fallen into it. 
  What's your story? What do you think about spirituality and the energy around it? I'd love it if you left a review below so I can improve my writing.

  In a pedestrian crosswalk on a quiet tree-lined street, Naseem is hit and then run over three times. Onlookers yell for the driver to stop as she hears her fate in her husband’s screams. Is he is watching the mother of his children die?   Miraculously, she survives, yet she is no longer the person she worked so hard to be. Her “cracks”—the changes to her body and mind—initially feel impossible to accept. In learning to embrace this new, unrecognizable self, Naseem decides to celebrate the day she almost lost her life as the day she discovered her true strength—her Unbreakable Day.   In this unique memoir, equal parts heart wrenching and inspiring, Naseem lays bare the reality of personal trauma—and how we each have the power to reimagine our lives and find beauty in being both broken and unbreakable.

  Flourish - A Practical and...

  The only book addressing the stark psychological impact of midwifery work while giving midwives the tools to choose a brighter future. Flourish aims to support you as a midwife to do two things: to name what’s going on around you and within you, then to find and claim your distinctive place in the midwifery world. You might be a newly qualified or early career midwife facing the challenges of finding your voice as well as your feet. Maybe you’re an established midwife but feel as though you have lost your way – and with it the energy to reshape either yourself or the environment you work in. Perhaps you're a team leader seeking to find the vocabulary to connect with your team, acknowledge what they might be feeling and reach out for resources and tools to support them to thrive, reflect and grow. 
  As a guidebook, Flourish is a tour of discovery that reveals how ‘standard’ maternity environments and practices might be impacting you personally, and then invites you to reconnect with the core of your personality and purpose. You'll recognise more clearly the realities of trauma exposure, burnout, compassion fatigue and moral injury, and explore what's really needed for psychological safety. You'll choose from an array of exercises to practice living well in the day to day, and you'll find a way back 'home', to a place where your sense of motivation for being a midwife is rekindled – a place where you can reconnect to your values, strengths and your unique voice. Once there, you will be able to make real, rich choices about your life and your career. Kate Greenstock is a distinctive combination of practising midwife and coach, bringing the flavours of both: reality and possibility; rawness and hope.
