Discover the hidden world of those who live—and sometimes die—on the edge. Daredevils: Unmasking the Addicted Risk-Taker plunges into the heart of risk-taking addiction, revealing how an innocent thrill can spiral into a life-consuming compulsion.Ever wondered why some people scale skyscrapers without ropes, race motorcycles at breakneck speed, or chase hurricanes for a shot of adrenaline? In Daredevils, you’ll uncover:The Science of the RushHow brain chemistry transforms everyday moments into powerful highs—and why our own reward pathways can trap us in a cycle of craving, tolerance, and withdrawal.Case Studies & Real-World ExamplesAnonymized, first-hand accounts—from rooftop parkour to storm chasing—show how weekend diversions morph into full-blown addictions, complete with close calls and hard lessons.Warning Signs & Self-ChecksPractical tools like the Risk–Reward Scale, Urge–Outcome Diary, and Life-Balance Audit help you spot subtle red flags—obsession, escalation, withdrawal—and honestly measure your own relationship with danger.The Hidden CostsBeyond bruises and broken bones lie the emotional fallout, strained relationships, legal entanglements, and chronic anxiety that follow unmanaged risk.Why Some Are More VulnerableExplore how genetic predispositions, personality traits like sensation-seeking and impulsivity, and environmental triggers—especially in adolescence—fuel a dangerous appetite for extremes.Treatment & RehabilitationDive into evidence-based pathways: from cognitive-behavioral and dialectical therapies to immersive rehab programs that rebuild balance through controlled adventure, group support, and skill-building.Alternative Therapies & Personal Recovery StoriesBe inspired by creative outlets—art, music, nature immersion—and moving tales of triumph from those who’ve rewritten their futures, channeling their need for novelty into life-affirming pursuits.Prevention & Healthy AlternativesArm yourself with strategies to intercept early warning tremors and redirect urges into structured sports, high-intensity interval training, mindful practices, and community service—proving true exhilaration can exist without courting catastrophe.Filled with cutting-edge research, relatable insights, and a supportive first-person voice, Daredevils doesn’t just explain the biology and psychology of risk addiction—it empowers you to reclaim your freedom. You’ll gain the clarity to safeguard your well-being, the tools to help loved ones break free, and a new vision of adventure grounded in balance and purpose.Don’t let the next adrenaline craving control your life.

    A Nation Again is the chaotic tale of the Scotland men's team's return to a major tournament after more than 20 years in the wilderness. 
    Ten had come and gone for Scotland since they reached France '98, but the birth of UEFA's Nations League offered a new route to glory. In early 2018, after a long search for Gordon Strachan's replacement, Alex McLeish became manager for a second time. Despite successfully navigating the Nations League group stage, it wasn't plain sailing, and his tenure ended after a shocking defeat at the start of Euro 2020 qualifying. 
    With a play-off semi-final on the horizon, the Scottish FA turned to Steve Clarke, who took on the challenge of inspiring a team rooted in failure, creating a band-of-brothers mentality and figuring out how to organise this incredibly talented group of players. From a couple of the lowest lows, came the highest high. 
    With exclusive memories and audio from those who were part of the journey, such as John McGinn, Stephen O'Donnell, Lyndon Dykes, Ryan Christie and David Marshall, this is the story of how Scotland finally became a nation again.

    Twenty-three long years, 276 tortous months, 1,196 despairing weeks – it's a long time in the wilderness . . . 
    After a string of household names failed to deliver, the Tartan Army's foot soldiers finally found a leader who could turn their fortunes round. On his appointment in 2019, former Chelsea stalwart Steve Clarke faced an enormous challenge – but under him nothing feels beyond Scotland's grasp. With the experience of Euro 2020 under his belt and time spent moulding a team capable of going toe to toe with the world's finest, Euro 2024 represents another major milestone.
    This book looks behind the scenes of Scotland's remarkable rise and tells the story of the man who has led the revival and how he has transformed the squad. Former teammates and coaching colleagues lend their voices alongside an all-star cast of past and present Hampden favourites in a tale of triumph and hope.
