<p> In the decade since Ines de la Fressange wrote Parisian Chic, divulging style and shopping secrets for Francophiles and fashion lovers everywhere, readers continue to turn to her New York Times best seller - published in seventeen languages - for inspiration.

Her favorite beauty products have shifted from the cosmetics counter to the kitchen, where she provides recipes for hair and skin care that are 100% organic. She debunks the myth of the so-called French manicure, and instead offers five pointers for becoming chic right down to your fingertips. She even shares insight on the French diet, which does include pastries, but market fresh vegetables, too! And if you're looking for the perfect gift, use her guide that's filled with oh-là-là ideas.</p><p>A fresh take on this classic style, Parisian Chic Encore is essential reading for fashion lovers and Francophiles who want to get into step with the modern Parisienne. </p>

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>So what, exactly, IS your immune system? Second only to the human brain in its complexity, it is one of the oldest and most critical facets of life on Earth. Without it, you would die within days. In this book, Philipp Dettmer, the brains behind the most popular science channel on YouTube, takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its defences. </p><p>Each chapter delves deeply into an element of the immune system, including defences like antibodies and inflammation as well as threats like viruses, bacteria, allergies and cancer, as Dettmer reveals why boosting your immune system is actually nonsense, how parasites sneak their way past your body's defences, how viruses - including the coronavirus - work, and what goes on in your wounds when you cut yourself.</p>

Control your body. Control your mind. The revolutionary first book from the most influential science communicator of our time. When you control your body, you control your mind. From joy, to calm, to focus, we spend our lives trying to control our mental states. But we usually fail. The reason? We are focusing on our minds when we should be focusing on our bodies. Stanford neuroscience professor Andrew Huberman - creator of the phenomenal The Huberman Lab podcast - is the world's leading expert on the interaction of our nervous system and our mental state. His research has led him to a handful of simple tweaks to our bodies that transform how we think. He calls them the protocols. Here, Huberman uncovers how these protocols can unexpectedly revolutionise our mood, our focus and our health. His endlessly surprising insights include- - How learning to blink less can make you focus more - How seeing daylight immediately upon waking up can boost your energy levels - How 'Non-Sleep Deep Rest' can help sustain you for hours longer without sleep On every page, Protocols offers scientific advice unlike anything you have read before. By transforming what you do, it will transform how you think.

<p>Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day and then ages out. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable.<br/><br/>Over the years, as he has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn't, he has learned that being an artist isn't about your specific output; it's about your relationship to the world. Creativity has a place in everyone's life, and everyone can make that place larger. In fact, there are few more important responsibilities.<br/><br/><i>The Creative Act</i> is a beautiful and generous course of study that illuminates the path of the artist as a road we all can follow. It distils the wisdom gleaned from a lifetime's work into a luminous reading experience that puts the power to create moments - and lifetimes - of exhilaration and transcendence within closer reach for all of us.</p>
