You sit down to focus and your mind fractures. One thought becomes five. A decision becomes a debate. A simple task turns into a mental labyrinth. You replay conversations, anticipate outcomes, and rehearse failures that haven’t happened. You’re busy thinking yet nothing moves forward. The worst part? It feels productive. But it’s not. Overthinking isn’t insightful. It’s a neurological loop masquerading as problem-solving and it quietly drains your energy, confidence, and direction.

Are you a prisoner of your own mind, trapped in endless nights of tossing and turning? Is the fear of another sleepless night a constant, unwelcome companion? Imagine breaking free from the shackles of insomnia, waking up refreshed and rejuvenated each morning.

From Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) originator Francine Shapiro, this groundbreaking, evidence-based work has been translated into multiple languages. Originally developed for treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), EMDR therapy is now also used to treat adults and children with complex trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, addictive behavior problems, and other clinical problems. The third edition reviews the therapy's theoretical and empirical underpinnings, details the eight phases of treatment, and provides vignettes, training materials, and resources.

A powerful 3-in-1 guide that helps you understand people, expose manipulation, and rewire your mind for emotional strength. Learn how to read body language, recognize dark psychological tactics, and use CBT strategies to break negative patterns and build mental resilience.

The culmination of three decades of Allan Schore's groundbreaking work, this book details how the right brain―the psychobiological locus of Freud's unconscious mind―plays a fundamental role in the early origin of human nature (the general characteristics and feelings attributed to human beings). The early developing right brain not only grounds our bodily-based subjective experience of the world, but also allows us to make sense of it.

Living with AuDHD is like being a unicorn—misunderstood, contradictory, and often invisible to others. You shine with creativity and innovation, but struggle to fit in — always feeling 'too much'. Autism and ADHD pull you in opposite directions, creating a lifetime of contradictions no one else can see. AuDHD isn’t listed in diagnostic manuals because until 2013, you couldn’t be diagnosed with both conditions — despite a co-occurrence rate of approximately 50-70%. These two neurotypes often clash, like opposing magnets in the brain. ADHD craves novelty; autism resists change.

This 4-in-1 bundle is your complete companion for navigating adult ADHD with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Inside, you will discover how to understand your unique neurodivergent brain, strengthen your executive functioning skills, create peace and order in your home, thrive at work, and build healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

AI can write your emails, summarize your meetings, and generate your strategy decks. But it cannot tell you which decisions actually matter. Everyone is racing to master AI tools. Almost no one is developing the cognitive capabilities that AI makes more valuable, not less. That gap is about to separate those who lead and succeed from those who get left behind.

In this Audible Original, Ruby Wax hunts down her heroes - brain scientists - in the UK and across America, to learn more about what makes us tick: why we get stressed, how we feel pain, what makes us addicted - and has a lot of fun along the way. She faces death with Past Mortems author Carla Valentine, explores how video games affect our attention with gamification expert Gabe Zichermann, and discovers the benefits of vaginal smearing with Professor Tim Spector.

Are we really the masters of our own destiny? Neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow shows how far our future is already hardwired in our brains. Like Sapiens and Thinking Fast and Slow, The Science of Fate revolutionises the way we understand our species and ourselves. So many of us believe that we...

The act of reading is so easily taken for granted that we forget what an astounding feat it is. How can a few black marks on white paper evoke an entire universe of meanings? It's even more amazing when we consider that we read using a primate brain that evolved to serve an entirely different purpose. In this riveting investigation, Stanislas Dehaene, author of How We Learn, explores every aspect of this human invention, from its origins to its neural underpinnings.

It’s hard to have ADHD in a world not built for our brains. It can leave us feeling discouraged, like we’re always getting in our own way. Like we can never quite have the life we want. But the reality is that we can influence how our brains work, and we have unique strengths. We just need the right tools. In 30 Days to Thrive with ADHD, Dr. K brings us those tools. As a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who also spent time training to be a monk, he draws on both modern neuroscience and ancient wisdom to help you understand and harness your ADHD brain.

Have you ever been absolutely certain you “knew it all along”? Or found yourself buying something you didn’t really need just because it was on sale? Maybe you’ve noticed how quickly people rally around their group’s opinion, or how often first impressions stick no matter what happens later. These aren’t random quirks of personality—they’re examples of cognitive bias at work.

Most of us spend a significant part of the day in front of a screen. Our work and social lives play out through our computers, tablets and phones: on email, social media, video conference calls and gaming servers. But what is all this screen time doing to our health, our sleep, and our relationships? Professor Pete Etchells studies the way we use screens, and how they can affect us. In UNLOCKED, he delves into the real science behind the panic about our alleged device addiction and withering attention spans.

Do you occasionally have that strange feeling known as déjà vu? Do you sometimes feel that you know what is going to happen next? Do you ever have a strong feeling that actions you are about to take are the right (or wrong) thing to do? This audiobook proposes a simply amazing theory - a theory that states that personal death is a scientific impossibility. Using the latest findings of neurology, quantum physics, and consciousness studies, Anthony Peake suggests that we never die.
