Beschreibung

Positive Thought Shifts bridges cognitive psychology and practical self-help, arguing that lasting happiness stems from retraining the brain’s thought patterns rather than chasing external fixes. Centered on cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, and behavioral reinforcement, the book reveals how neural plasticity allows anyone to reshape ingrained negativity. It challenges toxic positivity by advocating adaptive realism—acknowledging life’s challenges while consciously choosing constructive responses—and debunks quick-fix myths with research showing sustained change requires about 66 days of practice.

 
Merging scientific rigor with relatable anecdotes, the book progresses from explaining the brain’s negativity bias to offering CBT techniques and mindfulness exercises validated by fMRI studies. A unique 12-week action plan transforms theory into daily habits, using journaling and behavioral experiments. Unlike generic advice, it addresses real-world stressors like career pressure and relationship conflicts, while acknowledging strategies work best for situational anxiety.

 
By framing happiness as a skill requiring patience, Positive Thought Shifts stands out for balancing laboratory-tested methods with tangible steps. Its interdisciplinary approach—connecting cognitive biases to decision fatigue, or mirror neurons to self-talk—empowers readers to break self-limiting beliefs with agency, not false optimism.

Why So Many Young People Are...

John Harpoon

The mental health crisis among young people is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in the number of adolescents and young adults reporting symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. This alarming trend has caught the attention of researchers, educators, and parents alike, as they seek to understand the underlying causes and develop effective solutions. The shift from previous generations to the current one, in which mental health struggles are becoming more visible and prevalent, demands a closer examination of the factors that have contributed to this crisis.
Social media has played a significant role in shaping the mental health landscape for today’s youth. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat have become an integral part of daily life, but they also introduce new pressures. Young people are constantly exposed to curated images of success, beauty, and happiness, leading to comparisons that can foster feelings of inadequacy. Cyberbullying, online harassment, and the fear of being excluded from digital circles can all contribute to mental health struggles. The pressure to constantly perform for an online audience has placed an unprecedented emotional burden on young people, and their self-worth is often tied to the number of likes, comments, and followers they have.
Another major factor contributing to the rise in youth depression is the shifting dynamics within families and communities. The traditional family structure has evolved, with many young people experiencing broken homes, economic hardship, or the absence of supportive role models. These changes can lead to feelings of isolation, insecurity, and hopelessness.

Calling Detective Crockford

Ruth D'Alessandro

This nostalgic and absorbing memoir tells the story of a real-life female police detective in post-war Britain, as she navigates a man's world. 
 
It's 1956, and the Berkshire Constabulary has never had a woman detective before. That is, until bright and ambitious WPC Gwen Crockford passes out of Hendon Detective Training School with flying colours... 
 
After five years serving as one of Britain's first policewomen, Gwen Crockford becomes one of its first female detectives. Swapping crime prevention for detection, she must soon become comfortable with attending murder scenes and post-mortems, investigating sex crimes and going undercover. Her police work is diverse and challenging: dealing with Teddy boy violence, arson, a paedophile 'war hero', and solving an unexplained death are all part of her remit. 
 
Gwen is sharp and quick to learn, considered 'one of the boys' by her colleagues, DS Kinch and DS Le Mercier. Until, that is, the traumatizing death of a child, the arrival of a new sexist DS, and near-zero opportunity for promotion force Gwen to reevaluate her career. 
 
Written and researched by Gwen's daughter Ruth from family papers, remembered stories from her mother and contemporary newspapers, this is a fascinating insight into late-1950s society and the challenges faced by female police officers. 
 
This is the second book in the Crockford series, following Calling WPC Crockford – Gwen's time as a pioneering uniform policewoman in the early 1950s.
