James Sills

Nothing beats singing with other people, whether at a stadium concert, a big sports event, or in a choir. It’s a powerful, uplifting and joyful expression of our humanity. But singing together is much more than that. 
 
James Sills is a vocal leader on a mission to get more people singing. It supports our mental, physical and emotional health; and when we sing with others, we form deep connections with ourselves, the people around us, and the present moment. 
 
Do Sing is a guide to help reawaken a love of singing. In this book, you will: 
 <ul><li>Learn simple exercises to improve breathing, posture and pitch</li><li>Understand what might be holding you back</li><li>Get started with a few familiar songs</li><li>Compile the soundtrack to your life so far</li></ul> 
Music is powerful and singing is cathartic. So, in the words of Bob Marley, let’s get together and feel alright.

Do Sing: Reclaim your voice. Find your singing tribe

Gail Muller

Gail Muller, a chronic pain sufferer, was told to ‘give up hope’ of a recovery and accept that she would be in a wheelchair by 40. She refused. She eventually found a cure and went on to walk the legendary Appalachian Trail. But what is hope? And why do we need it now more than ever? 
 
In this book, Gail shares her own story of survival and what she has learnt: that hope is not just a platitude, it’s a powerful and energising catalyst towards better days. A light in the dark. But sometimes hope can fade ­– and if that happens, how do we get it back? In Do Hope you will: 
<ul><li>Meet the Three Musketeers: resilience, perseverance and self-worth</li><li>Develop tools to feel reinvigorated and realigned</li><li>Discover what really makes you happy</li><li>Appreciate how helping others can lift you too</li></ul> 
For those times when we feel adrift, challenged or face adversity, Do Hope will help us keep the flame of hope alive. 
 
 
‘We are all capable of cultivating hope. This beautiful book serves as a reminder, and shows us how.’ – Kris Hallenga
