Anxiety
Learn some Simple Techniques to get Rid of Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Feel Free Now
Are you constantly worrying about tomorrow? Are you looking to eliminate anxiety once and for all? Within this book's pages, you'll find the answers to how to overcome anxiety, panic attacks and finally feel free.
Anxiety and panic attacks are an unpleasant and often debilitating occurrence in the lives of many people around the globe. Often caused by stress and initiated by a variety of perceived and real negative experiences, this condition can make one's life unbearable on many levels. From the unpleasant physical to the emotional and mental repercussions, anxiety is a condition that requires attention before it develops into an even more serious condition.
Help is available to those who suffer from anxiety and this comes in the form of natural, practical initiatives that can be implemented without necessarily resorting to prescription drugs. The following chapters provide some useful information on how to manage anxiety. The ideal is obviously to eliminate this upsetting condition altogether and the conscientious use of the techniques discussed make this a distinct possibility.
Chapter one is focused on the practice of realistic thinking and how changing one's perspectives can assist in reducing anxiety. This approach can be successfully practiced to control the mental factors that contribute to anxiety. Chapter two addresses dietary suggestions that are helpful in reducing anxiety at a physical level. The approach to managing or eliminating anxiety should be comprehensive especially when the cause is not clear. Finding the best approach then becomes a matter of trial and error but an effort that must be made.
In chapter three we address relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises. This is again a physical approach at first glance, but as important and necessary as changes in one's diet. As peculiar as it may sound, one's breathing habits play a big role in managing stress levels and the resultant anxiety it causes. Most people take their breathing for granted and are unaware as to whether their breathing is shallow or not.
Chapter four continues with meditation and mindfulness methods. These techniques combine both the physical, mental and emotional aspects of healing and are important additions in your arsenal for treating anxiety. Meditation was for a long time considered to be curiosity in the Western world. Science has however since proven that it has a direct and beneficial effect in reducing stress.
Natural remedies form the focus of the last chapter as these are non-toxic remedies that are also helpful in your pursuit of health. This chapter touches on herbal, homeopathic and Bach flower essences, the latter being particularly effective in treating fear. Ayurvedic treatment is touched on briefly. Being a very comprehensive natural therapy it is preferable to consult an expert when exploring alternative natural remedies.
In this book, you'll learn..
- To Change How You Think

Homicide House
It’s been twelve years since we’ve heard of Mr. Evan Pinkerton, the little, timid man who seems to attract trouble, and continually harasses Inspector Bull of Scotland Yard. They’re back now in Homicide House. The story is laid in postwar London, and Mr. Pinkerton is living at No. 4 Godolphin Square. Despite the fact that he owns the apartment house, he shares meagre quarters on the top floor with the chef. Years of living with the penny-pinching Mrs. Pinkerton (now fortunately deceased) have accustomed him to discomfort, and Mr. Pinkerton is quite happy living where he is.
One day a young American comes swinging along the Square. He attracts Mr. Pinkerton’s attention when he stops in front of No. 22, directly across from No. 4, and now a shell of a house with only a stairway leading nowhere. The American is so obviously distressed at the sight of the bombed-out house, that Mr. Pinkerton breaks a habit of longstanding and speaks to him. When the stranger tells him he is looking for a girl whom he met six years before in an air-raid shelter, and that he knows only that she lived at No. 22 Godolphin Square, Mr. Pinkerton comforts him by revealing that she is living quite safely at the very house in which he himself has rooms.
It takes only one more innocent question to start in motion a train of singularly unpleasant events, and the stranger and Mr. Pinkerton find themselves in the midst of violence and murder.

The Book of Form and Emptiness
One year after the death of his beloved musician father, thirteen-year-old Benny Oh begins to hear voices. The voices belong to the things in his house - a sneaker, a broken Christmas ornament, a piece of wilted lettuce. Although Benny doesn't understand what these things are saying, he can sense their emotional tone; some are pleasant, a gentle hum or coo, but others are snide, angry and full of pain. When his mother develops a hoarding problem, the voices grow more clamorous.
At first Benny tries to ignore them, but soon the voices follow him outside the house, onto the street and at school, driving him at last to seek refuge in the silence of a large public library, where objects are well-behaved and know to speak in whispers. There, he falls in love with a mesmerising street artist with a smug pet ferret, who uses the library as her performance space. He meets a homeless philosopher-poet, who encourages him to ask important questions and find his own voice amongst the many.
And he meets his very own Book - a talking thing - who narrates Benny's life and teaches him to listen to the things that truly matter.
The Book of Form and Emptiness blends unforgettable characters, riveting plot and vibrant engagement with everything from jazz to climate change to our attachment to material possessions. This is classic Ruth Ozeki - bold, humane and heartbreaking.

Autumn
A breathtakingly inventive new novel from the Man Booker-shortlisted and Baileys Prize-winning author of How to be both
Fusing Keatsian mists and mellow fruitfulness with the vitality, the immediacy and the colour-hit of Pop Art - via a bit of very contemporary skulduggery and skull-diggery - Autumn is a witty excavation of the present by the past. The novel is a stripped-branches take on popular culture, and a meditation, in a world growing ever more bordered and exclusive, on what richness and worth are, what harvest means.
Autumn is the first installment in Ali Smith's novel quartet Seasonal: four standalone books, separate yet interconnected and cyclical (as the seasons are), exploring what time is, how we experience it, and the recurring markers in the shapes our lives take and in our ways with narrative.
From the imagination of the peerless Ali Smith comes a shape-shifting series, wide-ranging in timescale and light-footed through histories, and a story about ageing and time and love and stories themselves.

Michael Dobbs' entertaining tale of skulduggery and intrigue within the Palace of Westminster has been a huge hit with the public. Its scheming hero, Chief Whip Francis Urquhart, who uses fair means and foul to become Prime Minister, is one of the best-known characters of the last decade - the politician we all love to hate. Acclaimed for its authenticity and insights into a secret world - the result of many years working behind the scenes for the Conservative Party - it became a highly popular, award-winning BBC TV series, with Francis Urquhart memorably portrayed by Ian Richardson, and was followed by two further sequels, 'To Play the King' and 'The Final Cut', which also became top-rating TV series.
