Laughter is a physiological response that activates a plethora of beneficial reactions in the body. The elation you feel when you laugh and your body relaxes and releases endorphins is a great way of offsetting the physical effects of stress.The aim of the laughter healing techniques in this book is to help you to laugh more easily through a series of warm-up exercises that are then followed by a range of activities designed to get you giggling.Laughter does not come easily to everyone, but luckily the body cannot distinguish between real and &#8203;simulated laughter &ndash; pretend laughter has the same beneficial effect as real laughter. The practice of laughter is suitable for everyone, including elderly groups.There are many different types of laughs &ndash; light chuckles, hearty chortles, full-on belly laughs &ndash; and when starting with a fake laugh it often quickly becomes a genuine laugh. When we laugh, we are present in the moment. Paying attention to the here and now is much needed in today&#39;s frenetic society. It helps us to notice the small details as well as the bigger picture. By learning to pause in our daily swirl of activities and become fully present to whatever is happening at that moment, then we will be able to pause and laugh easily too. Laughter is mindfulness in motion.We all need to laugh more. This book shows you how.

Dale Pinnock

In this title, Dale clearly explains how you can alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and depression by changing the way you eat.He unpicks the physiology and anatomy of anxiety and depression to show how diet can beneficially affect the hormones that alter mood. And don&#39;t think, in order to improve how you feel from day to day that you will be eating salad and tofu for ever.On the contrary, if starting your day with a Toasted muffin with smoked salmon, spinach and hollandaise sounds good, then this is the diet for you. Or try a sinus- (and mind-) clearing Salmon, avocado and wasabi wrap for lunch.A fabulous Thai-style seafood noodle soup or fish pie will also help you maintain a healthy mindset, while Chocolate crunch pots will put a smile on your face as it also works to help relieve your symptoms.

Eat Your Way to Better Health

In this title, Dale investigates the explosion in diabetes and attempts to find out why and what you can do about it.The book is intended to help relieve both type- 1 and type-2 diabetes - using nutrition alongside conventional medicine &ndash; but, importantly, Dale believes diet alone can heal type-2 diabetes.In the first half of the book, Dale unpicks the physiology and anatomy of diabetes, showing how the modern diet causes insulin resistance and &ndash; ultimately &ndash; type-2 diabetes. But his mission is to correct that and, in the second half of the book, he provides the delicious tools to do so.A chart of low-GI foods will help you to get &#39;carb-smart&#39;. Start the day with an Avocado and cheddar omelette with spicy salsa, or enjoy a speedy Chicken and lentil curry. Serve friends Tilapia fillets with pea, mint and feta mash and tomato salad, or even try a low-GI Cheesecake for pudding.Learn Dale&#39;s secrets for yourself and successfully eat your way to avoiding &ndash; or relieving &ndash; diabetes.

Diabetes

In this title, Dale explains that heart disease is at epidemic proportions and rising, and attempts to find out why - and what we can do about it.His approach - using nutrition alongside conventional medicine - is to avoid the dietary baddies that may contribute to the problem. And he has some revolutionary ideas about what those might be. Dale shows how the heart works and gives you the tools you need to help yourself. His approachable, readable style reveals cardiovascular workings clearly. Dale peers inside the modern western kitchen store cupboard and shows what should be going into it with a comprehensive list of heart-healthy food.Vitally, he reveals what needs to be thrown out and never replaced - among them some startlingly common foods! Dale shows how easy it can be to incorporate powerful super-nutrients into your diet and what foods and supplements can provide them. Each recipe has a check-list showing the components it contains that are particularly heart-healthy.Start the day with a Salmon and asparagus frittata, dine sumptuously on Black olive and anchovy-stuffed chicken breast with sweet potato mash and finish it all off with Pears poached in spiced red wine. If these seem miles away from a conventional heart-healthy diet, that is because Dale believes much modern-day dietary advice is wrong. Learn his secrets for yourself and eat your way to better heart health.

There are few people who have not gone to a party, a business presentation, a meeting or social occasion feeling a lack of confidence or an increased amount of self-consciousness. Reading this book will help transform the former wallflower into a sunflower. The Little Book of Confidence shows us how to challenge our preconceived notions about confidence. Through tips, quotes and practical exercises we can learn how to restore or improve positive faith in ourselves through heightened levels of competence, compassion and self-awareness.But this is more than a book about selfconfidence. To be in someone&#39;s confidence is a complement of trust in a friendship or business relationship. To have confidence in a proposal, a plan or a person is a declaration of positivity. Confidence is also an expression of self-assurance that is transmitted through body language.Throughout this book, different aspects of confidence are clearly presented in bite-sized nuggets of information and inspiration showing the reader how to get the best out of this often-elusive quality.

The Little Book of Confidence

Cool Calm Collected

The Little Book of Quiet takes a broad look at the need for, and the benefits of, achieving more quiet in your life. It takes a look at different personality types - those who are inherently more disposed to an introverted nature (people who are more comfortable in the inner world of thought and feeling) and those of an extroverted nature (people of action and clamour). It looks at some of the people in history who are heard despite their quiet voices and personalities, for example: Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Bill Gates, J.K. Rowling. In so doing it will show introverts how to harness their many positive qualities, and show extroverts how to allow more quiet into their lives. Now that everyone is constantly connected digitally 24/7, more emphasis is being placed on achieving higher emotional intelligence (EQ) to empathize and negotiate with others in a global economy - in other words enhancing &#39;people skills&#39;. To be a good listener is considered a key people skill, and a basic requirement of being a good listener is to be quiet when the other person is talking. The book shows how an understanding of left-brain and right-brain thinking can help achieve a better balance between the two and how to recognise these same attributes in others. It explores ways of achieving more quiet in our lives and less troubled minds, through tips and exercises and through mindfulness and understanding.
