Heal Your Trauma
‘A beautifully written and deeply compassionate guide for people healing from childhood trauma.' – Dr Susan Simpson, Clinical Psychologist & Founder of Schema Therapy Training Scotland. Heal Your Trauma is a compassionate and practical guide to recognising the lasting effects of trauma and learning how to heal and recover. Trauma leaves traces – in our minds, bodies and relationships – long after the original wounds occurred. Even experiences we thought we’d ‘moved on’ from can resurface years later as anxiety, depression, anger, substance abuse or low self-esteem. Drawing on powerful trauma-informed models – including Internal Family Systems, schema therapy and mindful self-compassion – therapist Dan Roberts shows how to calm your nervous system, reconnect with all parts of yourself and build lasting emotional resilience. Through clear explanations and guided exercises, Roberts helps readers come to terms with the past and move forward with strength and confidence. The healing process can feel challenging, but the rewards of living an authentic life are transformative. Your wounds do not have to define you – and it’s never too late to heal. For example, you’ll learn: How trauma affects the mind and body – even years after it occurred. Practical tools from leading therapy models to soothe and regulate your emotions. Techniques for working compassionately with your ‘inner parts’ to resolve old wounds. Ways to identify triggers and develop healthier emotional responses. Steps for building resilience, balance and genuine self-acceptance. Whether you’re beginning your healing journey or continuing work in therapy, this book provides an informed, reassuring companion for lasting change. Grounded in clinical insight and filled with accessible exercises, Heal Your Trauma offers a gentle roadmap to moving beyond survival mode and toward wholeness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------'An antidote to the sense of isolation and shame we can carry when painful experiences have wounded us.' – Sue Smith MBACP, Certified IFS Therapist & Lead Trainer for the IFS Institute.

The Hiroshima Men
'An extraordinary and utterly absorbing blend of the historical, the scientific and the human. MacGregor has made us see a terrible event with different eyes. A real achievement' Patrick BishopWe Have Ways Podcast 'Books of the Year' SelectionThe Critic Military Books of the YearAt 8:15 a.m. on August 6th, 1945, the Japanese port city of Hiroshima was struck by the world's first atomic bomb. Built in the US by the top-secret Manhattan Project and delivered by a B-29 Superfortress, a revolutionary long-range bomber, the weapon destroyed large swaths of the city, instantly killing tens of thousands. The world would never be the same again. The Hiroshima Men's unique narrative recounts the decade-long journey towards this first atomic attack. It charts the race for nuclear technology before, and during the Second World War, as the allies fought the axis powers in Europe, North Africa, China, and across the vastness of the Pacific, and is seen through the experiences of several key characters: General Leslie Groves, leader of the Manhattan Project alongside Robert Oppenheimer; pioneering Army Air Force bomber pilot Colonel Paul Tibbets II; the mayor of Hiroshima, Senkichi Awaya, who would die alongside over eighty-thousand of his fellow citizens; and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist John Hersey, who travelled to post-war Japan to expose the devastation the bomb had inflicted upon the city, and in a historic New Yorker article, described in unflinching detail the dangers posed by its deadly after-effect, radiation poisoning. This thrilling account takes the reader from the corridors of the White House to the laboratories and test sites of New Mexico; from the air war above Nazi Germany and the savage reconquest of the Pacific to the deadly firebombing air raids across the Japanese Home Islands. The Hiroshima Men also includes Japanese perspectives - a vital aspect often missing from Western narratives - to complete MacGregor's nuanced, deeply human account of the bombing's meaning and aftermath.
The Royal Insider
THE BRAND NEW REVELATORY ROYAL MEMOIR FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR PAUL BURRELL. 'A moving and at times jaw-dropping account - not just of his two decades when he had a ringside seat at the heart of the Royal Family, but also of the years since,' Richard Kay, DAILY MAIL'For twenty-one years I was in a privileged position and shared the lives of the Queen and Princess Diana. Now that neither of these two wonderful women are here, that duty continues for me in the need to protect their legacy.'For over two decades, Paul Burrell was a silent witness to the making of history - first as footman to Queen Elizabeth II, then as butler to King Charles III (then Prince of Wales), and, most famously, as a confidante of the late Princess Diana. Now, with a unique perspective shaped by time and change, he's ready to share his own story alongside theirs. His bestselling memoir, A Royal Duty, about his friendship with Diana, sent shockwaves around the world, selling over two million copies. But it is only, in the wake of the Queen's passing and the commencement of a new royal era, Burrell feels he can finally tell his story in full. In this deeply personal and intimate memoir, Burrell shares many untold stories of his life at home and abroad with the Royals. With warmth, candour, and rare insight, he recounts unexpected moments of intimacy with the Queen, who gently guided a fresh-faced, 18-year-old Burrell through palace life. He speaks candidly about the tensions that simmered during those years - including the breakdown of Charles and Diana's marriage and his own complex relationship with Princes William and Harry. He also reveals his heartache at parting with three of the most significant women in his life - the Queen, Diana and his wife Maria - all while navigating his own personal journey to happiness as well as a battle with prostate cancer. Heartfelt, sincere and rich in detail, this is the memoir of a man who has lived and learned in the most extraordinary of ways.
Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young
'A fascinating journey that illuminates, in often thought-provoking ways, the politics of violence in radical movements' Angela DavisThe son of the FBI's most wanted woman tells the electrifying story of a childhood on the run – and a half-century of revolutionary struggle in AmericaWe all grapple with a past that defines us: culture, religion, a family story. But what happens when you inherit a revolutio? ayd Ayers Dohrn was born underground. His parents were fugitives after a decade fighting the US government; his mother co-founded a leftist radical group called the Weathermen, and replaced Angela Davis on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List. All his life, Dohrn’s parents said his birth marked a clean break with violent revolutionary struggle but, in this explosive memoir, he discovers that story wasn’t entirely true. Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young offers a page-turning account of an infamous family and their life in hiding, as well as the political battles of the ‘60s and ‘70s. At its heart it asks big questions: how can a child survive when the place they feel safest – with their family – also puts them in danger? What does it mean to be a good revolutionary, and how should young people today try to change the world?

Burying the Typewriter
‘A modern classic’ – The Sunday Times‘This story starts roughly in the 1970s, a few years after I was born, about the time when I began to have memories and my father’s codename was already long established as “Andronic”, a name we learned about only last summer . . .’Burying the Typewriter is the haunting true story of life behind the Iron Curtain, and one teenage girl’s flight from the Romanian secret police and the Ceausescu regime. At 2 a.m. on 10 March 1983, Carmen Bugan’s father left the family home, alone. That afternoon, Carmen returned from school to find officers of the Securitate, the Romanian secret police, in her living room. Her father had been detained for his protests against the Communist regime in Romania, and the family home was now laced with surveillance devices. Overnight, Carmen’s life became a living hell of paranoia and small-scale resistance, her schoolteachers and the friends and neighbours all around her transformed into potential informants. Burying the Typewriter is the extraordinary story of Carmen’s coming of age in the twilight years of Ceausescu’s rule. Above all, it is a luminous, compassionate, and unflinchingly honest book about the price of courage, the pain of exile, and the power of memory. Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
Oblékám si svoje tělo jako pyžamo
Daleko od lidí je daleko od sebe. Jen s nimi jsme ve světě. Vše, co se stalo, a všechny, které jsme potkali, máme ve svém těle zapsané. Slovy, která jsou někdy až moc hluboko. Slovy, která na noc nejdou svléct. Proto když jsi ty tím, kdo je píše, přitlač. Vejdi do psaní celým tělem. Psaní je aktem odporu, ale taky péče, existence, kolektivního soužití. Piš. Tělo musí promluvit. Truchli, tanči, vzpomínej. Vracej se pohybem vpřed. Vypij soudek do dna, jinak se vypaří. Jako i my se nakonec vypaříme.
Between the Waves
Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-FictionA Book of the Year in The Times, TLS and Prospect The definitive history of Britain’s tumultuous relationship with Europe – as it’s never been told before. ‘Thought-provoking’ - The Sunday Times'Mesmerising' - LRB'A great big entertaining sweep of a book' - The Guardian'Excellent' - The Telegraph'Rich and incisive' - The Economist‘Powerful, precise, morally engaged’ - Rory Stewart‘The authoritative political history’ - David Kynaston'Sweeping and ambitious' - Helen LewisIn this lively history, acclaimed writer Tom McTague chronicles the battle of ideas, events and personalities that first took the country into the Common Market in 1973, only to take it out of the European Union in an explosive referendum a little over forty years later.

Souostroví Rusko ve válce proti Ukrajině
Válka, kterou ruská armáda, podporovaná částí společnosti, vede od roku 2014 proti Ukrajině, drasticky proměnila Ukrajinu, Evropu, svět, i Rusko samotné. A to nejen vojensky, politicky, ekonomicky, ale i v oblasti kulturní. Jak tamní umělkyně a umělci reagují na válku, jak ji jejich díla podrývají, dokumentují, oslavují – nebo ignorují? Jak válka intervenuje do vyjadřovacích prostředků umění, jak je proměňuje? Které jevy v kultuře, v kulturní politice a ve veřejném prostoru se v době války zdají být stěžejní, z čeho vycházejí, jak se projevují a kam směřují? Co vlastně znamená a co produkuje takzvaný ruský exil? Jaké strategie volí kulturní instituce a kremelský establishment? Na tyto a mnohé další otázky hledá odpovědi deset kapitol tohoto souboru faktů a úvah o válce a kultuře, psaných za války.

Az utolsó hívás - Dzsian telefonfülkéje
Mi lenne, ha egyetlen telefonhívás elegendő lenne ahhoz, hogy választ kapjunk a legfájóbb kérdéseinkre? Egy pszichológiai boncolásokat végző központban azok történetei találkoznak, akik egy szeretett személy öngyilkossága után maradtak magukra, és tele vannak bűntudattal, haraggal és megválaszolatlan kérdésekkel. A központ közelében álló, elhagyatott telefonfülke különös titkot rejt: aki belép oda, és leemeli a kagylót, meghallgathatja elhunyt rokona, szerelme utolsó gondolatait.
Kang Dzsian, a központ vezetője, saját vesztesége - édesapja halála - miatt nap mint nap felkeresi a fülkét, abban a reményben, hogy még egyszer hallhatja a hangját. Amikor felismeri, milyen mély hatással vannak ezek az utolsó gondolatok az itt maradókra, úgy dönt, beépíti a fülkét a pszichológiai boncolás, a traumafeldolgozás, a gyógyítás és gyógyulás folyamatába. A cél nem a múlt megváltoztatása, hanem a megértés: annak feltárása, mi vezetett a tragédiához, és hogyan lehet együtt élni a következményekkel és az elveszített szerettünk hiányával.
Csillagösvényen
BÁN MÓR ezúttal egy izgalmas koncepcióra épülő, dupla novelláskötettel jelentkezik. A Göröngyös úton című kötetben a Hunyadi-sorozat szerzője ezúttal is a magyarok múltjának izgalmas fejezeteit tárja elénk, a Csillagösvényen pedig legkiválóbb sci-fi- elbeszéléseinek gyűjteménye.
Az emberiség jövőjét kutató írások hol a következő évszázadok társadalmának égető gondjaira reflektálnak, hol pedig a technikai fejlődés vívmányainak következményeit próbálják feltérképezni. A távoli galaxisok felfedezői, a jövőben válni készülő házaspárok, akik mindent el akarnak felejteni előző életükből, klónozott személyiségek egymáshoz fűződő, nem könnyen kibogozható viszonya, a távoli évszázadok majdan megvívott ütközeteinek hősei, a közeli jövő háborús tudósításainak forgatókönyvírói - csupán néhány figura és téma a kötetben szereplő elbeszélésekből.
A novellák között akad sokkolóan szókimondó, fordulatos, akár egy kalandregény, vagy éppen mélyen elgondolkodtató. Vajon jó irányba tartunk a jövőbe vezető úton?
Idézzük fel együtt a hosszú utat - a földrögből a csillagokig!

A fiútól elszakadva Lily egyetemre megy, ahol egy idősebb professzor, az ornitológus Marshall nyeri el ismét a szívét. Csakhogy évekkel később a fiú, aki egykor a világmindenséget jelentette Lily számára, ismét felbukkan az életében.
Lilyt évtizedeken át nyomasztja a felelősség a történtekért, miközben igyekszik a második szerelem szilárd nyugalma és az első azóta sem szűnő lobogása között egyensúlyozni. Az egyre inkább lecsúszó Jane sorsa is az ő vállára nehezedik.

Most of the patients I treat learn to be in healthy, even thriving, relationships."💭 MYTH: "It's impossible to have a meaningful relationship with someone with a personality disorder." 🌞 Truth: "It's a matter of addressing unconscious fears around closeness and distancing.
