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

Gary Bloom

Elite athletes play out their lives in the most public of arenas. Everything they do is analysed in real time and then picked apart in the pub and in the press afterwards. 'Why did they miss that penalty?', 'What made them fall at the first jump?', 'That press conference was a bit weird.' We can all speculate, but what's really going on? 
 
 In Keeping Your Head in the Game we peer into this highly confidential world. We follow the journeys of ten athletes in their therapy sessions with sports psychotherapist Gary Bloom, from a rugby player arrested for a drunken brawl, through a homesick cricketer on tour, to a snooker player struggling with his feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. 
 
Structured around the emotions we all experience on a daily basis - shame, anger, fear, jealousy and envy, love -chapter by chapter, the inner traumas that have an impact on the performance of these sports personalities are revealed, explained and resolved. Seeing how they overcome their demons is a powerful way of tackling your own and, as Gary says, happier players play better - in sport and in life.

Many of us respond to the pressures of life by turning inwards and ignoring problems, sometimes resulting in anxiety or depression. Others react by working harder at work, at school or at home, hoping that this will make ourselves and the people we love happier.

Do you remember your first kiss? Or the best meal you ever tasted? Or the smell of freshly cut grass on a perfect summer's day? 
 
When our senses are stimulated, when we harness the power of first experiences, and when we are conscious of our feelings and emotions, we are more likely to hold on to our happy memories. 
 
Using research on happiness, Meik Wiking explores how we can learn to create happy memories and be better at holding on to them. Including data and diaries, interviews, global surveys and studies, and real-life behavioural science and happiness experiments, The Art of Making Memories will explore how we can create perfect moments. Moments you will remember for ever. Moments that will shape who we are.

What really makes a relationship work? How can we stay interested in our partner for ever? How can we be happier in our marriage? 
 
Doctors John and Julie Gottman have spent over three decades studying the habits of 3000 couples. Within 10 minutes of meeting a couple, they can predict who will stay happily together or who will split up, with 94% accuracy. Based on their findings, they have now created an easy series of eight dates - spanning commitment; trust; conflict; intimacy; sex; fun; work; money; and family values - that will lead to a happier, lasting love life. 
 
Eight Dates draws on rigorous scientific and psychological research about how we fall in love using case studies of real-life couples whose relationships have improved after committing time to each other and following the dates. Full of innovative exercises and conversation starters to explore ways to deepen each aspect of the relationship, Eight Dates is an essential resource that makes a relationship fulfilling.
