Joshua Patterson

When Josh set out to break the world record and run 76 marathons around the UK’s 76 cities in 76 days he knew it would be a test of determination and resilience, but he hadn't realised that his past struggles would provide the real strength he needed to cross the finish line. 
 
Having suffered with depression and come close to suicide in the past, Josh ran to raise money for the Samaritans and as he ran through the wind and rain, sometimes with crowds of supporters, sometimes alone, he often drew upon the memories of his darkest days to spur him on, knowing that there were happier times ahead. 
 
This is a collection of the 76 powerful lessons that fuelled Josh to reach the finish line – and will inspire you to reach yours, whatever that might look like – including: 
Memories are motivation 
There is no such thing as failure, only a lesson to be learned 
Don’t be too proud to ask for help 
Look at how far you’ve come 
Focus on progress over perfection 
Your thoughts don’t define you 
 
This isn't a book about running, it is about how to find light in the dark and rise from the ashes, and how to find the strength to achieve whatever you put your mind to.

And Now For The Good News...

The much-needed tonic for our frazzled world

Stefanie Stahl

The breakthrough million-copy international bestseller about how to find happiness by befriending your inner child 
 
Ideally, during childhood, we develop the self-confidence and sense of trust that will help us through life as adults. But as all childhoods are imperfect, we all carry shadows within us that shape our approach to life as adults, and can lead to problems with relationships, perfectionism, self-doubt and anxiety. 
 
In The Child In You, bestselling author and psychologist Stefanie Stahl shares her proven approach for solving this -- by befriending our inner child. Powerful, imaginative and practical -- with clever exercises, from "the three positions of perception" to over-writing old memories -- she shows how in today's anxious world we can renounce our 'shadow child', embrace our 'sun child', and find the answer to all the psychological problems that come from our upbringing.

The Child In You

The Breakthrough Method for Bringing Out Your Authentic Self

Kristin Neff

A follow up from the bestselling Self-Compassion, this book shows why it is more urgent than ever that women acknowledge their areas of suffering, celebrate their inner voice and challenge the male-orientated status quo. 
 
The book will draw on Kristin Neff's own life story as well as the stories of other women to show how readers can harness self-compassion and gain the strength, clarity and courage needed to be resilient and stand up for themselves in our male-dominated society. 
 
She'll explore core issues such as gender differences, why women aren't more compassionate to ourselves, and what women do for love. With expert research, concrete tools and easy-to-follow mindfulness practices, this book will empower women to let go of self-criticism, draw boundaries and become fierce.
