THE INTROVERT'S GUIDE TO LEAVING THE HOUSE

Journalist and reformed sociophobe, Jenny Valentish, offers up a practical and relatable book for introverts, stand-offishs, sociophobes and awkwards. It is a book that is stuffed full of game plans for every excruciating social scenario.

Unstuck

'Being stuck' can look and feel different to different people – trapped, powerless, hopeless, frozen, frustrated, numb, disconnected, anxious, overwhelmed. Getting stuck is part of being human. But staying stuck for too long robs us of our vitality. It costs us healthy relationships, meaningful pursuits and, most importantly, the life we want to live.

Dr Emily Musgrove, resident psychologist on the popular podcast The Imperfects, shares the key psychological processes and practical skills we need to know for transformative and lasting change.

When Nothing Feels Real: A journey into the mystery illness of depersonalisation

Journalist Nathan Dunne was living the life of his dreams in London until, one evening, he jumped into a lake for a swim. When he emerged, his identity was simply gone. He felt completely lost and in acute, inexplicable pain. He knew who he was supposed to be but had no connection to the person named Nathan. His memories were distant and separate, not his. Everything was unfamiliar. All he felt was terror.

This was the beginning of his experience with depersonalisation, a little-understood and on-the-rise mystery mental illness that causes a person to dissociate from their body and thoughts

Human / Nature: On life in a wild world

Several years ago, Jane Rawson packed up her beloved inner-city home and moved to the bush. Scared about what climate change would do to the big city, and keen to meet more animals, she found a new home in a cottage in the Huon Valley. But in a place where nature never really leaves you alone, she had to confront her uncomfortable relationship with the outdoors.

Pain Free

Mark Stephens, often called the Hypnotic Healer, developed the techniques in this book over the past three decades while helping thousands of individuals suffering from pain.

Mark's easy-to-follow Four-Step Pain-Free Method can be practised by anyone. Within these pages, he offers a combination of breathing exercises, meditation techniques, self-hypnosis scripts and memorable mantras, making it possible to manage and reduce emotional, acute and chronic pain. And don't worry if you think you can't be hypnotised or can't meditate, Mark has that covered ...

HELP ME HELP MY TEEN

In what is her final book for parents, Maggie Dent points to an increasingly digital world filled with social media, gaming and harmful content, along with changing cultural norms, that has intensified the pressure on teenagers to excel and 'fit in' – leading to heightened levels of stress, anxiety and depression.

Despite this, Maggie believes that teens can handle these pressures with resilience and strength when they are supported by stable, loving connections with family, teachers and other caring adults.
