What does it really take to create lasting sexual connections in long-term relationships? 
 
Most couples struggle at some point to maintain their sexual connection. But a lot of the advice we are given on sex is either not very good or steeped in cultural assumptions and expectations that can end up hurting us. 
 
In Come Together, leading sexual wellness educator, Dr Emily Nagoski, takes on one of the most misunderstood subjects of all time - sex in long-term relationships - and shows us that most of what we've been taught about enjoying sex is wrong. 
 
Featuring inclusive stories and examples from a wide range of couples and individuals, you'll find out what great sex really looks like and the best way to overcome obstacles - including relationship conflicts, gendered beliefs about how sex 'should be' and body image worries. 
 
With insight, humour and empathy, Come Together will radically transform the way you approach sex and desire, and empower you to create long-term, fulfilling sexual connections.

Practical Exercises to Break the Cycle of Inherited Trauma

Megan Devine

Grief doesn’t need to be ‘fixed’ – here’s the support you really need. 
 
When a painful loss or life-shattering event upends your world, the first thing to know is there is nothing wrong with grief. ‘Grief is simply love in its most wild and painful form,’ says Megan Devine, and ‘it is a natural and sane response to loss.’ So, why does our culture treat grief like a disease to be cured as quickly as possible? 
 
In It’s OK That You’re Not OK – a new classic that has already helped thousands of people – grief expert Megan Devine offers a profound new approach to both our own experience of grief and the way we support others. 
 
Having experienced grief from both sides, as a therapist and as a witness to the accidental drowning of her beloved partner, Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love and healing. In this heartfelt book, you’ll learn: 
 
- Why well-meaning advice can make it harder for people in grief 
- Why doing away with stages, timetables and unrealistic ideals is key 
- How to manage stress and anxiety – and improve sleep – without ‘fixing’ pain 
 
Whether you are grieving yourself or supporting someone else, this much-loved book will give you the skills to face loss with strength and grace, and, most importantly, build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it.

‘Trauma can cause our parts to take on burdens. Yet, when we bring the spiritual values of curiosity, gratitude, and kindness to these burdened parts, we discover incredible opportunities for healing and awakening’ 
 
A radical approach to collective healing, restoring wholeness and reclaiming your true self 
 
When we focus only on our own trauma, we cannot see how other types of trauma – ancestral, cultural, social, and spiritual – contribute to our present pain and suffering. But when we step back to consider how different parts of our identities are connected, we have a much more complete and coherent picture of our pain. And with awareness comes healing. 
 
In this powerful collaboration, Richard Schwartz – creator of Internal Family Systems – and fellow trauma expert Thomas Hübl expand the map of healing. Through practical exercises such as meditation and reflections, this book will help you release the beliefs and emotions that are burdening you. Using an integrative approach, the authors will not only help you understand the roots of your trauma, but offer you the practical tools to end the cycle of harm for good.

'This is the book every woman needs not just in menopause, but well before.' – Kate Rowe-Ham, Menopause Fitness Expert and Author of Owning Your Menopause 
 
STRONGER MUSCLES AND BONES, INCREASED MOBILITY, LIFELONG INDEPENDENCE AND A NEW MENTALITY FOR AGEING WITH POWER. 
 
This cutting-edge guide to nutrition, training and lifestyle will optimise a woman's body for longevity, through menopause and beyond. 
 
Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity – yet too often women neglect this important measure of fitness. Indeed, more than 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms like joint pain, muscle loss and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms – what Dr Vonda Wright refers to as the 'musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause' – can often set us up for osteoporosis, osteopenia, broken bones, increasingly limited mobility and reduced independence later in life. That trend stops now. Unbreakable outlines a new and direct path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. 
 
Drawing on her decades of experience as a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr Wright gives clear action steps to shield us from the timebombs of aging in four critical categories:<ul><li>Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function.</li><li>Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate your gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth.</li><li>Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down systemic inflammation in your daily life.</li><li>Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of 'zombie cells' and improve your cell function.</li></ul> 
Including a six-week, master exercise protocol to jumpstart skeletal and muscular strength, critical information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, and twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, Unbreakable is an invaluable guide to adding more vibrantly healthy life to your years.

The groundbreaking new book showing how nature enhances our powers of attention and shapes brain development, from the founder of the field of environmental neuroscience. 
 
'Nature’s power has everything to do with attention, the driving force behind our thoughts and behaviour… Dr Berman says that our lack of access to nature (or unwillingness to go out in it) has contributed to soaring rates of stress, chronic disease, loneliness and other mental health issues. Reconnecting to nature can be part of the antidote' – MEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINE 
 
What if we could harness the power of nature to become calmer, more focused and less distracted? 
 
With so many things vying for our attention in modern life, we’re suffering a global epidemic of distraction, leaving us feeling drained, depleted and isolated. Renowned professor of psychology Dr Marc Berman offers a groundbreaking solution through environmental neuroscience and the art of attention restoration. 
 
In Nature and the Mind, Dr Berman identifies the essential elements of a 'nature prescription' that can improve out cognitive performance and mental resilience, sharing life-altering findings such as: 
• Having just eleven more trees on your street is related to decreases in cardio-metabolic disorders like stroke, diabetes and heart disease. 
• Short walks in nature can improve attention by almost 20 percent and decrease depression symptoms. 
• More green space around schools and homes is related to better school performance, reduced crime and improved working memory. 
 
Featuring clear, practical solutions that you can apply to your daily life, no matter where you live, Nature and the Mind reveals how nature is the key to boosting your energy, restoring attention, changing your mood, and improving your mental and physical health.

*THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* 
 
The #1 SUNDAY TIMES bestselling authors and award-winning podcasters Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle created We Can Do Hard Things the guidebook for being alive — to help fellow travelers find their way through life. 
 
When you travel through a new country, you need a guidebook. 
 
When you travel through love, heartbreak, joy, parenting, friendship, uncertainty, aging, grief, new beginnings – life – you need a guidebook, too. 
 
We Can Do Hard Things is the guidebook for being alive. 
 
Every day, Glennon Doyle spirals around the same questions: Why am I like this? How do I figure out what I want? How do I know what to do? Why can’t I be happy? Am I doing this right? 
 
The harder life gets, the less likely she is to remember the answers she’s spent her life learning. She wonders: I’m almost fifty years old. I’ve overcome a hell of a lot. Why do I wake up every day having forgotten everything I know? 
 
Glennon’s compasses are her sister, Amanda, and her wife, Abby. Recently, in the span of a single year, Glennon was diagnosed with anorexia, Amanda was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Abby’s beloved brother died. For the first time, they were all lost at the same time. So they turned toward the only thing that’s ever helped them find their way: deep, honest conversations with other brave, kind, wise people. 
 
They asked each other, their dearest friends, and 118 of the world’s most brilliant wayfinders: As you’ve traveled these roads —marriage, parenting, work, recovery, heartbreak, aging, new beginnings—have you collected any wisdom that might help us find our way? 
 
As Glennon, Abby, and Amanda wrote down every life-saving answer, they discovered two things:<ol><li>No matter what road we are walking down, someone else has traveled the same terrain.</li><li>The wisdom of our fellow travelers will light our way.</li></ol> 
They put all of that wisdom in one place: We Can Do Hard Things—a place to turn when you feel clueless and alone, when you need clarity in the chaos, or when you want wise company on the path of life. 
 
We are all life travelers. We don’t have to travel alone. We Can Do Hard Things is our guidebook. 
 
Featuring wisdom from: ALOK • Sara Bareilles • Dr. Yaba Blay • Kate Bowler • adrienne maree brown • Brandi Carlile • Brittney Cooper • Brittany Packnett Cunningham • Kaitlin Curtice • Megan Falley • Jane Fonda • Stephanie Foo • Ashley C.

Separating from our other parent can be one of life’s toughest challenges. When we separate with children, trying to navigate how to bring them up together becomes much harder. The separation process may become confrontational; and when children watch their parents fight, or become pawns in that fight, the safe parental bubble they have lived in up to that point bursts. 
 
The Co-Parenting Method, based on the award-winning coaching methodology of The Co-Parent Way™, guides co-parents through their separation in a way that allows them to keep their children safe, whole, and protected. It gives co-parents the skills and knowledge they need to keep a safe parental bubble intact for their children, whatever they may feel about each other. 
 
'Marcie is an excellent advocate for making co-parenting work – she brings the voice of the child, which can often be lost when parents are separating, to the forefront of the discussion.' – Barbara Reeves, Head of Family Law, Mishcon de Reya LLP

The Co-Parenting Method

Six steps to raise happy kids after separation and divorce

Brittany Piper

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, or the aftermath of trauma, this groundbreaking book will show you how to become your own best healer. 
 
Brittany spent most of her life sitting across from therapists recalling the painful stories of her trauma. But rehashing each event — being put into foster care as a baby, losing her brother in a car accident, enduring a brutal rape and a public trial, and more — made her even more stuck. At a crossroads, she took her recovery into her own hands. 
 
On this journey, Brittany discovered science that explains how and why trauma lives in our bodies, not in the story of what happened to us. Trauma overwhelms our nervous system, which operates through feelings, sensations, and emotions, not through words and thoughts. Now a Somatic practitioner herself, in Body-First Healing Brittany provides a roadmap to recovery, resilience, and nervous system regulation. With Brittany, you will learn how to: 
<ul><li>Name your core wounds, trauma responses, and stuck nervous system state</li><li>Create feelings of safety and regulation with anchoring resources like exploratory orienting, movement, self-contact, etc.</li><li>Fully experience an uncomfortable feeling with the Sensation, Image, Behaviour, Affect, Meaning framework</li><li>Engage somatic tools, like air screaming for anger or limb shaking for anxiety, that help express uncomfortable emotion</li></ul>
