Roy Moxham

In June 1992, author Roy Moxham did a very strange thing: he wrote to a bandit in an Indian jail. Phoolan Devi was the controversial and charismatic 'Bandit Queen' hailed as a modern-day Robin Hood in the villages surrounding Delhi. In revenge for her own gang rape, her followers killed 20 high-caste Indians, which led to her surrender and imprisonment. 
 
Struck by her story and appalled by her plight, Roy Moxham helped Phoolan Devi obtain justice, offered her encouragement when she became an MP in India on her release, and travelled with her for several years before she was finally gunned down in 2001. Based on the diaries that documented their extraordinary friendship, Moxham offers a fascinating portrait of a remarkable woman and reveals the hidden face of India.

Drawing upon her considerable experience as a religious leader and social reformer, passionately concerned with the issues that affect society's wellbeing, she offers practical ways to give our own lives a renewed sense of significance and direction. 
 
From celebrating friends and family, to surviving hardship and loss, to assessing the relative value of possessions, and the benefits of being as tough as we are kind to ourselves, Julia Neuberger shows how to reconnect with the things in life that really matter to us. It is, she explains, possible to live a life with few regrets, in which we get our priorities right and create a legacy which will live on long after we are gone - yet which will make life all the more rewarding here and now.

Xu Hongci

‘One of the greatest escape stories I’ve ever read’ Mail on Sunday 
 
An ordinary man’s extraordinary escape from Mao’s brutal labour camps 
 
Xu Hongci was an ordinary medical student when he was incarcerated under Mao’s regime and forced to spend years of his youth in China’s most brutal labour camps. 
 
Three times he tried to escape. And three times he failed. But, determined, he eventually broke free, travelling the length of China, across the Gobi desert, and into Mongolia. It was one of the greatest prison breaks of all time, during one of the worst totalitarian tragedies of the 20th Century. 
 
This is the extraordinary memoir of his unrelenting struggle to retain dignity, integrity and freedom; but also the untold story of what life was like for ordinary people trapped in the chaos of the Cultural Revolution.

Rudolph E. Tanzi

Heal yourself from the inside out 
 
Our immune systems can no longer be taken for granted. Current trends in public healthcare are disturbing: our increased air travel allows newly mutated bacteria and viruses to spread across the globe, antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria outstrip the new drugs that are meant to fight them, deaths due to hospital-acquired infections are increasing, and the childhood vaccinations of our aging population are losing their effectiveness. Now more than ever, our well-being is at a dangerous crossroad. 
 
But there is hope, and the solution lies within ourselves. The Healing Self is the new breakthrough book in self-care by bestselling author and leader in integrative medicine Deepak Chopra and Harvard neuroscientist Rudolph E Tanzi. They argue that the brain possesses its own lymphatic system, meaning it is also tied into the body’s general immune system. 
 
Based on this brand new discovery, they offer new ways of increasing the body’s immune system by stimulating the brain and our genes, and through this they help us fight off illness and disease. Combined with new facts about the gut microbiome and lifestyle changes, diet and stress reduction, there is no doubt that this ground-breaking work will have an important effect on your immune system.

Byron Katie

‘Illuminating…on the cutting edge’ Jon Kabat-Zinn 
 
'Byron Katie has rocked my world and shaken loose my mind more thoroughly than any other spiritual teacher I've ever encountered' Elizabeth Gilbert 
 
How Asking Four Questions Can Free Your Mind, Open Your Heart and Turn Your World Around 
 
In A Mind At Home With Itself, bestselling author and founder of The Work, Byron Katie explains that emotions such as sadness, anger and resentment come from believing our negative thoughts. But when we learn to question those thoughts, they lose their power. And when this happens, our minds are free to turn towards others and ourselves with a spirit of generosity. 
 
Byron Katie gives hugely popular workshops every year all over the world, in places like churches, prisons, universities, schools and corporations. She speaks at organisations like Facebook and Stanford University and is also involved with a programme for cancer patients. Charismatic and compassionate, there’s good reason why The Times has called her events ‘riveting’, and Time magazine has named her ‘a spiritual innovator for the new millennium’.

Finding Freedom in a World of Suffering

Emily Esfahani Smith

'Life-transforming' Susan Cain, author of Quiet 
 
Searching for happiness is overrated, learn to find meaning instead 
 
There is a persistent myth in our culture that in order to lead a fulfilling life we must pursue happiness at all times. In her groundbreaking work, Emily Esfahani Smith explains that it is actually the search for meaning that will bring fulfilment. She argues that meaning is all around us in vast untapped resources, and that the key is finding it in the right here, right now. Her inspiring TED Talk on the same topic has been viewed over a million times. 
 
To explore how we can change our lives for the better, she draws on the latest research in psychology, sociology, philosophy and neuroscience, as well as insights from figures in literature and history such as George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle and the Buddha. She shows us how cultivating connections to others, identifying and working toward a purpose, telling stories about our place in the world, and seeking out mystery, can immeasurably deepen our lives. To do this she visits remarkable people and places, such as a tight-knit fishing village in the Chesapeake Bay, a dinner where young people gather to share their experiences of profound loss, and a drug kingpin who finds his purpose in helping people get fit. She explores how we might begin to build a culture that leaves space for introspection and awe, cultivates a sense of community, and imbues our lives with meaning.

Intuition is our wise, compassionate friend who helps us to clarify decisions, to avoid unpleasant situations and to access the deeper levels of awareness. But beyond this, the intuition awakens us to ourselves, leading us on a journey of enlightenment until we eventually merge with our essential being. 
 
The various stages of the pilgrimage are reflected in stories from the author's own life and encourage us to expand our consciousness from the state of "hoping", through the phase of "believing" until we experience the undeniable "knowing". 
 
Following many years of fulfillment in the caring professions, Dr Christine Page has become a highly respected international teacher bringing her inspirational talents to the psycho-spiritual field.

Bringing Intuition into our Awakening Consciousness

Keith Hagenbach

"The cure of a part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole. No attempt should be made to cure the body without the soul and if the head and the body are to be well, you must begin by curing the mind... this is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body that physicians separate soul and body". 
 
So said Plato in circa 400 BC. 
 
This Workbook was developed from Dr Page's internationally renowned and respected "Spirit in Practice" course for orthodox and complementary practitioners. The aims of this course are: 
 
* To enhance understanding of the Mind/Body relationship 
* To enable people to reduce stress levels 
* To raise awareness of subtle energies and their effects 
* To encourage people to awaken their Inner Healer 
 
Readers are offered a rich variety of exercises, meditations and guided visualisations, designed to raise their awareness of the connection between our thoughts, emotions and personality traits, and our health and well-being on all levels.

Britain is a nation of bird-lovers. However, few of us fully appreciate the sheer scale, variety and drama of our avian life. From city-centre hunters to vast flocks straight out of the Arctic wilderness, much-loved dawn songsters to the exotic invaders of supermarket car parks, a host of remarkable wildlife spectacles are waiting to be discovered right outside our front doors.

By turns lyrical, informative and entertaining, he shows how natural miracles can be found all around us, if only we know where to look for them.

Extraordinary angelic coincidences and delightful minor miracles have long been a subject of fascination, especially since Carl Jung explored their value and expression in today's world.In this fascinating book by the author of An Angel At My Shoulder, Glennyce Eckersley shows how very often coincidences of a spiritual nature occur in the lives of ordinary people, but often go untold or unremarked. In Angels and Miracles, she offers many such stories from around the globe, including those which arose directly from her previous books about angels, as well as amazing tales of inexplicable events: all highly meaningful to our lives today.

Is international terrorism really the single greatest threat to world security? 
 
Since the 9/11 attacks, many Western governments assume terrorism to be the greatest threat we face. In response, their dangerous policies attempt to maintain control and keep the status quo by using overwhelming military force. This important book shows why this approach has been such a failure, and how it distracts us from other, much greater, threats of climate change, competition over resources, marginalisation of the majority of the world and global militarisation. 
 
Unless urgent, coordinated action is taken in the next 5-10 years on all these issues it will be almost imossible to avoid the earth becoming a highly unstable place by the middle years of this century. Beyond Terror offers an alternative path for politicians, journalists and concerned citizens alike.

Massimo Pigliucci

A philosophy still relevant in the modern world, Pigliucci, one of the top philosophers on Twitter and a regular contributor to the New York Times, Newsweek, Washington and Huffington Posts, shows how you can apply stoicism to your everyday life and make it more meaningful. 
 
Who am I? 
 
What am I doing? 
 
How ought I to live my life? 
 
Stoicism teaches us to acknowledge our emotions, reflect on what causes them and redirect them for our own good. Whenever we worry about how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal seems more elusive. 
 
Massimo Pigliucci explores this remarkable philosophy and how its wisdom can be applied to our everyday lives in the quest for meaning. He shows how stoicism teaches us the importance of a person's character, integrity and compassion. 
 
Whoever we are, we can take something away from stoicism. 
 
With practical tips and exercises, meditations and mindfulness, this is perfect for fans of Jules Evans' Philosophy of Life - or anyone wanting to imbue their life with new meaning.
