As politics slides toward impulsivity, and outrage bests rationality, how can philosophy help us critically engage with the world? How to Think Like A Philosopher is a revelatory exploration of the methods, tenets and attitudes of thought that guide philosophy, and how they can be applied to our own lives. Drawing on decades of enquiry and a huge range of interviews, Julian Baggini identifies twelve key principles that promote incisive thinking. Pay attention; question everything; seek clarity, not certainty: these are just a few of philosophy's guiding maxims which can be applied to everything from understanding the impact of climate change to correctly appraising our own temperaments. Both a fresh introduction to philosophy covering canonical and contemporary philosophers, and an essential, practical guide to good thinking, How to Think Like a Philosopher shows us the way to a more humane, balanced and rational approach to thinking, to politics, and to life.

<p><b>From the author of the number one global bestseller <i>How to Do the Work</i> comes this paradigm-shifting guide to healing your relationships, beginning with the one you have with yourself.</b><br/><br/>Relationships have always been essential to human survival. Our bodies and brains are programmed to seek out connection, whether familial, romantic, or platonic. And yet these vital bonds are often at the root of our deepest suffering. While our hearts are primed for compassionate connection, our nervous systems - which store all our past hurts and disappointments - are wired for threat and negativity.<br/><br/>For decades leading relationship advice has maintained that successful relationships require a specific compromise - that we must change our authentic expression to better meet the needs of others, and vice versa. It may sound reasonable in theory, but as Dr LePera explains, this approach is nothing less than a recipe for a lifetime of resentment.<br/><br/>In <i>How to Be the Love You Seek</i> Dr LePera, whose integrative, holistic approach to psychology has attracted an international audience of millions, offers a new path to healing our relationships. Harnessing the latest scientific research, she teaches us to recognise how unmet needs from our earliest relationships create our current, dysfunctional relationship patterns, and leave us in a state of constant internal threat, even with those closest to us.<br/><br/>Her new book illuminates the way out of trauma bonds and into relationships rooted in mutual respect and compassion. In it, you will learn how to create safety in your own body and mind; identify your unmet needs; develop emotional resilience; cultivate heart coherence to build deep emotional connections with others; and maintain healthy interdependence in our communities.<br/><br/>Whether you struggle to maintain the kinds of relationships you want, or are facing a specific challenge with a spouse, partner, parent, sibling, child, friend, or colleague - Dr LePera teaches us how to break painful cycles and reconnect with the wisdom, appreciation, and compassion that lives in each of our hearts. It is our heart's innate capacity to love that is the true source of all healing. When we tap into that power, we can become the love we seek.<br/><br/>Complete with stories, exercises, journal prompts, and other practical tools, <i>How to Be the Love You Seek</i> offers a healing roadmap for all generations of cycle-breakers.</p>

<p><b>FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF <i>EVERYTHING FAT LOSS</i></b><br/><br/><b>Good habits are powerful. They bring about change one step at a time, until it becomes second nature.</b><br/><br/>But when it comes to fat loss, too often the focus is on <i>bad </i>habits. We're bombarded with articles and videos telling us why this food is bad, or this food is good, or this food is poison, and so forth. It makes the internet a hard place to navigate when looking for basic nutrition advice, and it's not surprising that so many of us feel confused about what to eat.<br/><br/>Ben Carpenter is a fitness coach, research nerd and trusted source of no bullshit fat loss information who has spent his entire adult life working in the fitness industry, researching the real science behind fat loss and answering questions with simple, unbiased answers.<br/><br/>Ben's point is this: <b>The best weight loss diet doesn't exist.</b><br/><br/>Despite peoples' attempts to persuade us, no weight loss diet is clearly superior. Not low carb, not keto, not low fat, not intermittent fasting. They all work for weight loss in the short term and tend to fizzle out in the long term. So, it's important to have other stronger, longer-lasting motivators that make us want to keep physically healthy. And the easiest way to do this is by introducing simple, effective habits.<br/><br/>If you want lasting success, you don't need yet another short-term crash diet. So, what do you need? You need healthy behaviours that you can actually sustain over a longer period of time.<br/><br/>So, let's shift the focus towards what really matters. This book is<i> Fat Loss Habits.</i></p>
