‘Hayden is a fine storyteller, recounting the touching bonds that form among children and between Hayden and her students’ Washington Post
Her parents say they can’t take her back, and her social workers struggle to deal with her destructive behaviour and wild mood swings. After her chaotic passage through numerous foster placements, Jessie has finally received a diagnosis: Reactive Attachment Disorder. RAD arises when children are deprived of the all-important close bonds with trustworthy adults that allow them to develop emotionally and thrive. Finally educational psychologist Torey Hayden is called in to help. Torey agrees to weekly meetings with Jessie to try and uncover why she is acting out. Torey’s gentle care and attention reveal shocking truths behind Jessie’s lies. Can Torey and the other social workers help to provide the consistent loving care that has so far been missing in Jessie’s life, or will she push them away too?
Torey Hayden is an educational psychologist and a special education teacher who, since 1979, has chronicled her struggles in the classroom in a succession of bestselling books. She currently lives and writes in North Wales.

Kaizen
Anto
The Japanese Method for Transforming Habits, One Small Step at a Time Sarah Harvey
Anto
A step-by-step programme for bringing Kaizen into your life and making positive changes for the better. Discover the Japanese philosophy that can help you make incremental changes to your everyday habits. Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy which literally translates as "change" (kai) "good" (zen). The focus is on having patience, shaping solutions for yourself rather than following others and not giving up when things aren’t working. This beautifully illustrated and photographed book offers a way to build good habits and remove bad ones, without being too hard on yourself along the way. Rather than being critical of your faults, the emphasis is on mindful, positive change. Well-known in the business and sports worlds as a method for mapping incremental goals, Kaizen is also a wonderful tool for slowly improving aspects of your life, without feeling daunted or overwhelmed by the challenge. In Kaizen, Sarah Harvey brings you a personalized and flexible approach to change that you can apply to any area of your life (whether it is health, relationships, money, career, habits, new hobbies or general wellbeing). You can adapt it to suit working style, preferences and personality. Every person’s experience of Kaizen will be different, which is what makes it such an effective tool for positive change.

More than fifty well-crafted cocktails and creative ideas from a spirited woman. Explore the exhilarating world of drinks from a fresh perspective. Signe Johansen, long-time whisky enthusiast, author and food writer, presents fifty well-crafted cocktail recipes, all fuelled by a cook’s palate and a love of creative ingredients. The recipes play with a wide range of flavours such as fresh, floral, herbal and spicy notes and encourage you to think like a cook not a bartender. With chapters on drambling (the joy of winter walks and whisky), creative and delicious drinks to serve at gatherings, warming nightcaps and non-alcoholic ‘soothies’ to calm an ailing spirit, there is a tipple here for every occasion. There is also collection of recipes called Cupboard Cocktails – made from staple ingredients you may already have in your kitchen – and more ambitious weekend projects for gifts or special occasions. Spirited is a refreshing departure from the earnest mixologist’s ‘art of the cocktail’. Instead, Signe celebrates the convivial and social experience of healthy hedonism and raising a glass together. This is a warm and inclusive companion to the subject, packed with trade secrets as well as stories and profiles of the most innovative figures working within the drinks industry today.

How Not To Diet
The
Disco Michael Greger, MD
Shah From the author of the major bestseller How Not to Die comes a new look at why diets fail us – and the groundbreaking scientific research behind how a plant-based diet can maximize our fat-burning systems. Every month seems to bring a trendy new diet or a new fad to try in order to lose weight – but these diets clearly aren’t making us any healthier. As obesity rates continue to rise, and with it a growing number of diseases and impairments, it’s time for a different approach.

Praise for How Not to Die: ‘Dr Michael Greger reveals the foods that will help you live longer’ Daily Mail ‘This book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can be prevented with proper nutrition’ His Holiness the Dalai Lama ‘This book brims with valuable insights . . . vegetarian or not, this book is a great way to improve your diet’ Financial Times
Michael Greger, MD, is a physician, bestselling author of How Not To Die, and The How Not To Die Cookbook. He runs the popular website NutritionFacts, a nonprofit, science-based public service providing the latest in nutrition research. Dr Greger also proudly serves as the Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at the Humane Society of the United States.
Enter Dr Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of nutritionfacts. org. Having explored the top fifteen causes of death in his bestselling How Not to Die, Dr Greger now turns his attention to the latest scientific research on the leading causes of obesity. He lays the groundwork by exploring the many causes of obesity – from our genes to the portions on our plate to other environmental factors – and the many consequences, from diabetes to cancer to mental health issues. From there, Dr Greger breaks down a variety of approaches to weight loss, honing in on the optimal criteria that enable success, including: a diet high in fibre and water, a diet low in fat, salt, and sugar, and diet full of anti-inflammatory foods. But How Not to Diet goes beyond food to explore the many other weight-loss accelerators available to us in our body’s systems, revealing how plant-based meals can be eaten at specific times to maximize our bodies’ natural fat-burning activities. It provides a clear plan not only for the ultimate weight loss diet, but also the approach we must take to that diet to unlock its greatest efficacy. Full of accessible, actionable advice and cutting-edge dietary research, How Not to Diet will put an end to dieting – and replace those constant weight-loss struggles with an easy approach to a healthy, plant-based lifestyle.

Behavioural Change Specialist and writer Shahroo Izadi presents the best approach to losing weight, without telling you what or how to eat. Shahroo goes deeper, using her professional experience working in addiction treatment and personal experience of struggling with her own weight and body image to help you find the best diet for your body and your life.
‘The moment I met her I immediately knew she was the real deal. She just gets it. She’s a sobering, safe and sassy presence in a world of extremes’ Bryony Gordon, #1 bestselling author of Mad Girl ‘Aside from my own experience of Shahroo’s superb work, the greatest testament is that our clients keep requesting more and more of her invaluable experience, insights and strategies to successfully manage their emotional wellbeing’ Dominic Ruffy, Amy Winehouse Foundation ‘That’s what Shahroo does. Gets me to ask fundamental questions with a kindness and compassion I normally reserve for others’ Marisa Bate, The Pool
Shahroo reframes her revolutionary Kindness Method and highlights how we perceive ourselves, showing how to embrace self-kindness, self-respect and positivity. Diets often offer quick short-term fixes and so-called miracle cures, but the real challenge is managing weight and changing habits over a sustained period of time. Everybody’s journeys and needs are different: it is all about changing the way we communicate with ourselves and our bodies every single day, in every aspect of our lives. The Kindness Diet helps you identify where your unhealthy habits come from, and how to accept them and change them, through self-tailored exercises to maintain your physical and mental wellbeing. Shahroo guides you through every step, helping you to draw out your own wisdom and find motivation for changing long-term habits.
Shahroo Izadi is a Behavioural Change Specialist and author of The Kindness Method, which has been translated into five languages and was a Shelf Help Club book of the month. She started her career in the NHS before setting up her private practice. Her therapeutic approach is influenced by her frontline addiction treatment work in clinical, community and prison settings. She shares how the same evidence-based tools she used effectively with her clients in active addiction helped her to lose eight stone in weight, increase her self-esteem and help her self-manage a range of unwanted habits around food and negative self-talk.
