  From Dr. Sasha Hamdani, board-certified psychiatrist and one of the most trusted voices in digital mental health, comes a groundbreaking exploration of an overlooked and frequently misunderstood phenomenon: emotional sensitivity.Too much. Too emotional. Too sensitive. These are the labels often applied to people whose reactions to everyday moments—a late reply, a last-minute meeting invite, a subtle shift in tone—feel immediate and overwhelming. What begins as a small uncertainty can spiral into shame, self-doubt, and withdrawal. The reaction may seem disproportionate from the outside, but the distress is deeply real.But what if this is not a personality flaw, but biology?For Dr. Hamdani, that question was both clinical and personal. Despite professional success and outward confidence, she struggled privately with intense emotional sensitivity. In her work, she repeatedly saw capable, accomplished individuals undone by powerful waves of perceived rejection and self-criticism. In Too Sensitive, she offers the framework she once needed herself. Emotional sensitivity is not weakness. It reflects a highly responsive nervous system shaped by identifiable neurobiological processes.Blending psychiatry, neuroscience, and lived experience, Dr. Hamdani delivers a rigorous yet accessible examination of rejection sensitive dysphoria and emotional reactivity. She introduces the first assessment tool designed specifically to identify patterns of rejection sensitivity, giving readers language and clarity for experiences that often go unnamed. She then explains how dopamine dysregulation, limbic overactivation, and stress-system sensitivity can intensify perceived rejection. Rather than pathologizing sensitivity, she reframes it as both a neurological vulnerability and a powerful form of emotional attunement.Most importantly, she provides practical, research-informed tools to help readers regulate emotional surges, interrupt spirals in real time, and build resilience in relationships, work, and identity. Insightful and validating, Too Sensitive challenges the narrative that equates sensitivity with fragility and instead positions emotional depth as a strength that can be understood, managed, and harnessed for growth.

  Bloody Brilliant Women

  ‘A litany of fresh heroes to make the embattled heart sing’ Caitlin Moran‘Newman is a brilliant writer’ Observer 
  A fresh, opinionated history of all the brilliant women you should have learned about in school but didn’t. 
  For hundreds of years we have heard about the great men of history, but what about herstory? 
  In this freewheeling history of modern Britain, Cathy Newman writes about the pioneering women who defied the odds to make careers for themselves and alter the course of modern history; women who achieved what they achieved while dismantling hostile, entrenched views about their place in society. Their role in transforming Britain is fundamental, far greater than has generally been acknowledged, and not just in the arts or education but in fields like medicine, politics, law, engineering and the military. 
  While a few of the women in this book are now household names, many have faded into oblivion, their personal and collective achievements mere footnotes in history. We know of Emmeline Pankhurst, Vera Brittain, Marie Stopes and Beatrice Webb. But who remembers engineer and motorbike racer Beatrice Shilling, whose ingenious device for the Spitfires’ Rolls-Royce Merlin fixed an often-fatal flaw, allowing the RAF’s planes to beat the German in the Battle of Britain? Or Dorothy Lawrence, the journalist who achieved her ambition to become a WW1 correspondent by pretending to be a man? And developmental biologist Anne McLaren, whose work in genetics paved the way for in vitro fertilisation? 
  Blending meticulous research with information gleaned from memoirs, diaries, letters, novels and other secondary sources, Bloody Brilliant Women uses the stories of some extraordinary lives to tell the tale of 20th and 21st century Britain. It is a history for women and men. A history for our times. 
  Newman's Bloody Brilliant Women is a bestseller that delves into the social and political fabric of Europe, highlighting the significant contributions of women in science and other fields. This biography is an autobiography of sorts, chronicling the lives of women who have been overlooked in studies of history. 
  For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), E. Foley (You Goddess!), Anna Russell (Great Women's Speeches), Deborah Coughlin (Outspoken), and Bill O'Neill (Behind the Curtain of Common Sayings).

  Socrates’ Children - An...

  Peter Kreeft

  Peter Kreeft, esteemed philosophy professor and author of over eighty books, has taught college philosophy for sixty years. Throughout those decades, he yearned for a beginner's philosophy text that was clear, accessible, enjoyable, and exciting (perhaps even funny). Finding none that met those criteria, he eventually decided to write it himself.  In this four-volume series, Kreeft delivers, with his characteristic wit and clarity, an introduction to philosophy via the hundred greatest philosophers of all time. Socrates’ Children examines the big ideas of four major eras―ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary―and immerses the reader in the “great conversation,” the ongoing dialogue among the great thinkers of history, including the most influential philosopher of all: Socrates, the father of Western philosophy.  Volume IV: Contemporary Philosophers surveys the great philosophers of the last two hundred years and observes the splintering of philosophy into a wide array of philosophical enterprises. Some, unhinged from the past, rebel against the very endeavor of philosophy, but others, seeking to revitalize ancient conversations, return to and renew the deepest questions of meaning, happiness, and the human person.

  Communication is not always through sound or language. Much can be said with gestures and movement of eyes. In fact, more often than not, it is the body language that 'says' more than words. Now discover all the finer points and the nuances of body language in this masterly work. How does a thumb gesture display dominance, superiority and aggression? How does dilation of eyes send a romantic signal? What does a sideways glance indicate? Given these incredible insights, the book can prove to be of immense use for professionals like advocates, doctors, policemen, judges, salesmen, politicians, judges, executives, bureaucrats and customers etc - in short, people who are essentially in public dealing. But then, it is for all, a true guide for analysing behaviour and attitudes. #v&spublishers
