Culinary Psychology
Stelios Kiosses, Beth Frates, and Neil Rippington are pioneering world leaders in the relatively new and important field of culinary psychology. Here, they present their must-read textbook on the subject, further enriched with chapters from Professor Charles Spence, world expert in multisensory perception and experience design, and Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist, author, lecturer, and podcast host. Food is entwined in all of our lives. As a topic, it belongs simultaneously to many diverse fields, including economics, ecology, agriculture, and sociology. Culinary psychology incorporates many of these outlooks to understand and interpret the meaning of food and to investigate experiential as well as sensory perceptions. Healthy thinking and lifestyle patterns are an integral part of nutrition. Exercise, sleep, friendships, attitude, and alcohol all have a significant impact on the choice, the timing, and our enjoyment of the food we consume. What we eat impacts our mental health and even our libidos – with many comestibles feted for their aphrodisiac power. Added to all of this is the cultural and historical significance of food in our lives and the part it plays in celebrations and commemorations. Outside influences, such as societal expectations, market forces, and government legislation, also affect what and how we eat, as we can see from the rise of processed foods, snacking, and the use (or not) of cutlery and dining tables. This superb resource brings together accessible expertise from these wide-ranging perspectives to demonstrate the importance of culinary psychology in our lives. As our understanding of the impact of what and how we eat continues to grow, this book’s comprehensive overview of culinary psychology will prove invaluable to students, academics, and the general reader.
Unseen
The fascinating psychology of blindspots, their complex causes, and the alarming consequences of looking without seeing. Can we believe our eyes? Most of us are confident that we can, but we shouldn't be so sure. Every day, we fail to see things that are right in front of us, miss sudden or unexpected changes and fall for illusions without realising it. The culprit? Blind spots. These hidden gaps in our perception are responsible for errors in operating machinery, diagnosing medical conditions, giving evidence in court and even influence how we invest our money or shop. Unseen explores the hidden corners of the human mind where perception fails, from the everyday oversights to the deep-rooted cognitive biases that shape our worldview. Lifting the lid on how our minds shape what we see, neuropsychologist David Lewis and illusionist Keelan Leyser explore the different types of blind spots, why they occur, how they can be used to manipulate our thoughts and the practical steps we can take to avoid them.

Stoic Empathy
What if you could lead with strength and compassion? Negotiate effectively and ethically? Live from rigorous principles and deep connection? Find answers in this radical new paradigm of personal power. “A radical approach to influence rooted in ethical strength. . . . A profound blend of philosophy, personal story, and actionable insights that will inspire readers to lead with both heart and mind.” — Dr. Mike Dow, New York Times best-selling author of The Brain Fog Fix Stoicism combined with empathy may sound like an oxymoron. But when these seemingly opposing forces are harnessed together, they have the power to change your life. We think of empathy as an emotional stance: we feel what someone else is feeling. In this book, Shermin Kruse offers a radical alternative. She outlines a form of empathy that’s based in cognition instead—a way for us to understand what the other person is thinking and feeling while keeping a distance from their emotive state—and shows us how we can strategically maneuver our level of engagement from “emotional empathy” to “cognitive empathy” in all kinds of circumstances. Then she utilizes Stoic philosophy and modern science to explain the mechanics of emotional regulation and control. With this radical perspective shift, Kruse builds a bridge between the rigor of Stoic philosophy and the relational impact of empathy. She gives us the knowledge and discipline we need to:· Calmly assess the power dynamics of any situation· Understand and manage our own emotions as well as the emotions of others· Defuse danger and turn conflict into connection· Skillfully steer a challenging conversation toward the result we want Whether you're a leader striving to succeed in your role with integrity, an educator seeking to guide curious minds with compassion, a parent nurturing resilience in your children, or simply facing a personal or professional crossroads, Stoic Empathy is an essential toolkit for negotiating success in every area of your life.
Persevered
If you think you know what mental health during and after pregnancy looks like, Persevered: A Maternal Mental Health Memoir will make you reconsider. Dr. Kara Zivin offers a rare, unfiltered look at what happened when a respected mental health researcher faced her own grave battle with depression and anxiety during and after pregnancy. This book is a raw personal account of surviving the darkest moments of new motherhood while juggling high expectations at home and at work. Zivin takes the reader on an intimate and eye-opening journey that weaves together her perinatal medical records, journal entries, research, and imperfect memories. The story unfolds across hospital rooms, the author’s home, and the university where she works, highlighting the complexity of holding on to one’s identity when everything feels uncertain. Zivin writes with striking honesty about the confusion, guilt, and isolation that so many mothers experience alone but rarely admit to others. Her willingness to lay bare her struggles and her gradual journey toward hope and recovery makes every page feel authentic and deeply relatable. Persevered moves beyond one woman’s survival, breaking the silence that still surrounds maternal mental health. Zivin’s story reminds us that reaching out, sharing our experiences, and demanding better support can make a difference, not just for mothers but for families and communities. This memoir is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, anyone who has supported a loved one through challenging times, or anyone who believes that honest storytelling can spark real change.

Searching for Normal
A Sunday Times Book of the Year'A welcome antidote to the dangerous cult of overdiagnosis and the commodification of normal distress' PHILIPPA PERRYHow can we reconsider the way in which we think about, treat and care for those in distres? ore and more people are being diagnosed with ADHD and autism. More and more people are being diagnosed with mental disorders. Young people are being medicalised for behaviours that might be explained as entirely normal in other parts of the world. Distress has been commodified over many decades by pharmaceutical companies, the media and the psychiatric establishment. So how can we know when distress is normal and when it is something that needs to be treate? n Searching for Normal, Sami Timimi explores the political and cultural context of these phenomena and presents a deeply humane approach that looks at the person as a whole – their family context, their culture, their personal resilience – and advocates for a reframing of how we think about and treat distress.

Our Metaphorical Bodies
This book offers a fresh examination of the significance of metaphorical thinking in comprehending human bodies and actions. It delves into numerous examples illustrating metaphor's role in conceptualizing body parts, illnesses, and various mundane and artistic bodily performances, fostering a deeper appreciation for metaphor's impact on human life. One key objective is to challenge the implicit dualism prevalent in much metaphor research, where the body is often considered in nonmetaphorical terms, with metaphors arising solely from cross-domain mappings involving abstract concepts. The book exposes the flaws in this traditional perspective, emphasizing the intrinsic connection between metaphor and understanding our bodies. Recognizing this connection is essential for grasping the extensive influence of metaphor across all realms of human cognition and behavior. Additionally, this book underscores cultural variations in how we conceptualize our bodies through metaphorical frameworks, enriching our understanding of diverse perspectives on bodily experiences.

Through this, the text clarifies the meaning of the clinical construct of psychopathy and debunks myths and misconceptions popularised by the true crime genre. This allows readers to more reliably interpret the accuracy of popular culture descriptions of psychopathy. Synthesising over 100 years of research, this book defines psychopathy and contributes new knowledge to the field. It is ideal for students, scholars, and practitioners in psychology, criminology, social work, and law seeking further insight into this intriguing disorder.
