The Book
A revolutionary, integrative, drug-free approach to healing depression.
Brief Description
We are living in an age of depression. Changes in the way we live, work, eat, sleep and interact have made
us increasingly vulnerable to this mood disorder.
For 30 years, Dr Jeffrey Rossman has been treating depressed people, many of whom do not want to take
medication. Instead, they are looking for practical solutions that will help them get better naturally and
permanently.
In The Mind Body Mood Solution, Dr Rossman offers a comprehensive, drug-free depression treatment
programme that fully integrates psychological practices such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, breathing and
meditation. In doing so, readers learn to make healthy, sustainable changes that have been proven to
improve mood. In treating the mind and body, Dr Rossman advocates for a new view of depression as
not simply an illness but a call from within to awaken to the possibility of a vital, fulfilling life.

The Book
A pharmacist shares her advice for restoring valuable nutrients to the body – nutrients ‘stolen’ by
prescription drugs.
Brief Description
Prescription drugs help millions of people with diseases and chronic conditions but in the process these
medications can also deplete the body’s natural stores of vitamins, minerals and hormones and cause other
serious health issues. Pharmacist Suzy Cohen calls these medications ‘drug muggers’ and says it is essential
to replenish what a drug mugger steals from the body, to understand the side effects of prescription drugs
and to avoid possibly catastrophic health consequences.
In Drug Muggers, patients – and their physicians – will learn why the leading medications may cause
uncomfortable or seemingly unrelated side effects and how to reduce symptoms by installing a ‘nutrient
security system’ so they won’t be adversely affected by drug muggers.
Suzy Cohen discusses the most important nutrients a person needs and identifies which medications cause
deficiencies, then suggests how to counterbalance a drug’s ‘mugging’ effect. She makes recommendations
for brand-name supplements and gives easy-to-follow advice to restore balance and good health with
over-the-counter vitamins and minerals and food choices.

Suzy Cohen has been a licensed pharmacist for more than 20 years and writes the syndicated health

The Book
Paediatric naturopath Jared Skowron shows parents how to prevent and treat their children’s illnesses,
from common ailments such as upset stomach, headaches and minor infections to more serious problems
like food allergies, diabetes and asthma.
Brief Description
In our increasingly toxic world, parents are more anxious than ever to take control of their health and are
utilizing naturopathic alternatives for their children as well. The same moms who breastfeed, puree their
own baby food, use non-toxic cleaning products and buy organic snacks for their kids, also want to know
how they can treat their child’s cold, flu or asthma without relying on a heavy dose of medicine.
100 Natural Remedies for your Child will include:
• Foods that heal: Dietary change is the core lifestyle modification in naturopathic medical practice.
Jared M. Skowron will show parents the power of ‘real’ food and explain how dietary changes can
help treat and prevent disease.
• Toxic detox: From pesticides to plastic, from air to water pollution, the world seems an everdangerous place, especially for children. Natural medicine provides safe and proven methods for
removing the poisons that our children are exposed to every day.
• How to supplement: Just like adults can benefit from dietary supplementation, so can kids. But
when it comes to vitamins, minerals and other supplements, kids bodies and needs are very
different. Parents will learn what supplements can be helpful for alleviating symptoms or
preventing illness and what dosages are safe and effective.
The Author
Jared M. Skowron is a graduate of the National College of Naturopathic Medicine and a professor of
paediatrics at the University of Bridgeport, College of Naturopathic Medicine. He is the author of
Fundamentals of Naturopathic Paediatrics, the textbook used in every natural medical school in paediatrics

A 4-Step plan for digestive wellness.
Brief Description
For many centuries, early medicine, ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine have identified the gut as
the centre of health and wellness but it has been largely downplayed by modern Western medicine. In The
Inside Tract, Gerard Mullin, a leading internist, gastroenterologist and nutritionist shows that good digestive
health is vital to overall wellness.
Through case studies of his patients and personal observations, Dr Mullin presents his four-step plan to
help cure a variety of gut issues:
• Nutrition: using recipes, readers learn how food can be a cure, not a cause, of intestinal problems
• Supplements: these natural diet boosters can be more effective than expensive prescription drugs
• Detox: a complete step-by-step programme
• Lifestyle changes: exercise recommendations, stress management techniques and more
Using the questionnaire provided, readers will be able to determine their own unique Gastrointestinal
Point System (GPS) and design an individualized plan to get themselves on the right ‘tract’ to digestive
wellness.

What to expect as we age.
Brief Description
As children, our curiosity about what to expect as our bodies change is met with knowledge and patience.
But when we are 50 or 60, our bodies undergo other dramatic (and often just as startling) changes – yet
there’s no one to prepare us, educate us or provide guidance on what’s normal.
From superficial concerns to everyday aches and pains to more serious medical problems, Dr John Whyte,
Chief Medical Expert for the Discovery Channel, cuts through the confusion. In Is This Normal? he
answers a broad range of questions about the physical effects of aging, such as:
• How much weight gain is normal as we age – and why is it so hard to lose?
• Is it normal to sleep less at night and nap more during the day?
• What are the signs of Alzheimer versus normal memory loss?
• Are mild, infrequent chest pains a cause for concern?
With compassion, reassurance and friendly guidance, Dr Whyte provides cutting-edge advice for the
effects of ageing we face every day, from hormones and libido to cancer risk and cardiovascular health. Is
This Normal? arms readers with the essential knowledge and preventive strategies they need to stay healthy
and vital for decades to come.

The latest research shows that controlling calories is consistently the most successful weight loss method.

How what you eat can change your life and save the planet.
Brief Description
What can we do to allay global warming, contend with world hunger, avoid genetically modified foods, be
healthier and live longer? In The Compassionate Diet, Arran Stephens, who has been at the leading edge of
the organic food movement for decades and a vegetarian his entire adult life, answers these complex
questions in the simplest terms: Eat vegetarian.
When Arran stopped eating meat, fish, fowl and eggs at the age of 20, his primary motivation was
deepening love and respect for animals. This commitment had an invigorating ripple effect and he soon
felt a deeper capacity for compassion – for animals and human beings alike – as well as a great increase in
physical energy.
A balanced and natural vegetarian diet is neither a fad nor a passing trend. It has been part of many
cultures over untold millennia. The Compassionate Diet distils the history, the philosophy and the core
benefits of eschewing meat in a completely approachable and non-judgemental fashion. Replete with 50
elegant and beautiful 4-colour illustrations, the book will make a beautiful gift for foodies, vegetarians or
anyone who has flirted with the idea of switching to a plant-based diet.

A straightforward, lasting solution to weight loss without the fuss of meal plans and calorie counting.

The market is full of ‘diet’ books that promise to make you thin with the latest breakthrough plan but
none of them work in the long term. Lack of willpower, boredom and cravings can sabotage our ability to
stick to a diet plan, get thin and stay that way. Lose Weight with NLP focuses instead on changing your
relationship with food and giving you back control so you can lose weight and keep it off.
Lose Weight with NLP is not a diet plan, not an exercise plan, is simple to follow and achieves results.
Whether you are looking to drop a dress size or going for a more dramatic change, you can use the power
of NLP to shift that weight. Lindsey Agness helps you develop a healthy mindset, good eating habits and a
strong motivation for exercise – the result is a healthier body and sustained, lasting weight loss.

The Book
Our planet’s endangered oceans and what we can do to save them.
Brief Description
Most people know Ted Danson as the affable bartender Sam Malone in the long-running television series
Cheers. But fewer realize that over the course of the past two and a half decades, Danson has tirelessly
devoted himself to the cause of heading off a looming global catastrophe – the massive destruction of our
planet’s oceanic bio systems and the complete collapse of the world’s major commercial fisheries.
In Oceana, Danson details his journey from joining a modest local protest in the mid-1980s to oppose
offshore oil drilling near his Southern California neighbourhood to his current status as one of the world’s
most influential oceanic environmental activists, testifying before congressional committees in
Washington, D.C., addressing the World Trade Organization in Zurich and helping found Oceana, the
largest organization in the world focused solely on ocean conservation.
In his incisive, conservational voice, Danson describes what has happened to our oceans just the past halfcentury, ranging from ravages of over fishing and habitat destruction to the devastating effects of ocean
acidification and wasteful horrors of fish farms. Danson also shares the stage of Oceana with some of the
world’s most respected authorities in the fields of marine science, commercial fishing and environmental
law, as well as with other influential activists.
The Authors
Ted Danson has captivated audiences worldwide with his equally sensational dramatic and comedic
performances. In addition to winning two Emmys and three Golden Globe Awards throughout his career,
Danson has been nominated for twelve Emmys and eight Golden Globes.
Michael D’Orso’s work includes fifteen books; seven have been bestsellers and three have been
nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

The Book
A lively, passionate argument for the backyard vegetable garden, drawing on science, history and stories
from the author’s garden.
Brief Description
Our parents saw supermarkets and processed foods as the height of convenience. But nothing is more
convenient than grocery shopping in the backyard. A vegetable garden offers the best defence against
rising food prices, the most environmentally sound way to eat and better exercise than any gym. It will
turn anyone into a wonderful cook, since nothing tastes more vibrant than home-grown. And it can take
less time every week than a trip to the supermarket.
In Grow the Good Life, Michele Owens, an amateur gardener for almost two decades, makes an entertaining
and persuasive case for vegetable gardens. She starts with two simple but radical ideas: Growing food on a
small scale is easy and it is absurdly rewarding.
With her wry, funny and accessible approach, Michele Owens helps beginners overcome the obstacles that
keep them from planting a few seedlings every spring. She explains why dirt isn’t dirty, the health benefits
of growing one’s own food, and that vegetable gardens are not antithetical to the frantic pace of modern
life but easy and uncomplicated if intelligently managed.
Grow the Good Life is not simply a how-to. Instead, it gives readers something much more fundamental:
how to fit a garden into their lives and an understanding of why it’s worth the trouble.

A simple guide to making beer.
Brief Description
Homebrewing, like bread making and making pickles, is surging in popularity, especially among the young
foodie set. Beer Craft, a hip, graphic manual aimed at the rising tide of design-conscious homebrewers, is
the ultimate resource for anyone starting out, covering everything aspiring homebrewers need to know,
including:
• Anatomy of beer: water, hops, malted grain, yeast (the big four) – what they do and how to
choose the right kinds
• Equipment: what’s needed, what to buy (and where to buy it) and what can be made oneself,
from fermentation jugs to grain-steeping bags to bottle-cappers
• Basic steps: mashing the grains, boiling the wort, hopping, pitching the yeast, fermenting then
bottling (and drinking!)
• Secret tricks: how to avoid an hour spent hovering over a boiling kettle with a thermometer stuck
in one’s hand
• Advanced tips for the enthusiast: customizing labels, caps and six-pack carriers for one’s
homebrew
With suggestions for brewers on a budget (you don’t really need that wort-chiller) and a focus on small
batches that don’t require 20 pounds of grain, Beer Craft supplements more than a dozen basic recipes with
guidelines for inventing your own beers. Not just a recipe book or an instruction manual, it’s a toolkit to
empower newbies and veteran brewers alike.

The Book
A father, a son and the healing power of golf.
Brief Description
When Steve Friedman was a child growing up in the suburbs of St. Louis, the game of golf was to him,
mysterious and dark. His father’s passion for the game caused friction in his marriage and eluded the
interest of his youngest son, who was devoted instead to basketball – that being just one of the many ways
in which the two failed to bond, ultimately leading to an awkward and unhappy relationship.
But Steve Friedman never forgot the love his father had for golf and after many years, when he reached
his forties, he reached out and asked his dad to teach him the game. He thought that perhaps he could
learn something about his old man’s view of life and thereby find a way to communicate with him.
This small volume is the sweet but unsentimental story of that experience – the tale of two men using the
game of golf to find a way to reach each other across decades of disagreement and misunderstanding. For
anyone who is a golfer, or a father or a son (or knows someone who is), this book will be a treasure.
The Author
Steve Friedman is an award-winning journalist who has written about sports (and relationships) for GQ,

The Book
Essential reading for any woman who has ever wondered how she could forge a closer connection and
gain a deeper understanding of her father.
Brief Description
There’s no denying that a woman’s relationship with her father is one of the most important in her life.
And there’s also no getting around how the quality of that relationship – good, bad or otherwise –
profoundly affects daughters in a multiple of ways, from their professional ambitions to their romantic
relationships and parenting philosophy.
In Our Fathers, Ourselves, author and scholar Peggy Drexler examines the ways in which the father-daughter
bond impacts women and offers helpful advice for creating a better, stronger, more rewarding
relationship. Through her extensive research and intimate interviews with hundreds of women, Peggy
paints an intimate, timely portrait of the modern father-daughter relationship: from the career-driven
daughter who isn’t quite sure what to make of her father’s old-fashioned advice, to the first generation
daughter of immigrants who strives to establish her own identity and independence.
Modern daughters are increasingly looking to their dads for a less-than-traditional bond but one that still
stands the test of time and provides support, respect and guidance for the lives they live today.

Peggy Drexler is an Assistant Professor at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, United States

The Book
What do exceptionally gifted people do differently to their merely adequate counterparts? What helps high
achievers to soar, while so many other people stumble?
Brief Description
In this book, psychologist and coach Rob Yeung shares the lessons from his work with successful
entrepreneurs, business leaders, world-class sports people and celebrities. He understands what the top
few per cent of people do to help them to climb the career ladder and make so much more of themselves
– and shares the secrets here.
From his research, the author has identified eight distinct behaviours that distinguish high achievers; they
are: Awe, Cherishing, Authenticity, Centredness, Connecting, Daring, Citizenship and Visioning. Not all
high achievers have the same gifts – some may possess many of them, others just one or two but in very
high quantities – but with Rob’s help, the reader learns the essentials of success and how to adopt and use
these behaviours to get what they want in life.
Aimed at the widest possible market, Rob’s trademark accessible writing style and minimal use of jargon
make this book suitable for everyone. The exercises and questionnaires help the readers assess how he/
she stacks up on each behaviour and take steps to achieve their goal. Case studies of successful people
provide inspiration and motivation throughout.

Do you constantly check your email, mobile, BlackBerry? Do you feel unable to concentrate on the task at
hand, your head spinning with information overload? If so, you need this book.
Brief Description
We are all overrun with technological input in our daily lives – whether it is our mobile ringing, our
BlackBerry bleeping or our ‘new email’ message constantly flashing – we are becoming hyperstimulated,
stressed out and unable to switch on (concentrate) or switch off (relax) because we are all on permanent
standby. As a result, we have lost the art of concentrating properly on any one task at any given moment,
because our lives are so overwhelmed with information overload.
Luckily, this personal development book is here to help readers navigate their way through the deluge and
provides the tools we all need to learn how to concentrate and focus properly. The book is rooted in
scientific fact and research and includes a detailed look at how your brain works, what inhibits brain
function and concentration, and covers things such as lack of down-time, distraction, procrastination,
poor lifestyle habits and stress. It includes techniques and exercises to help improve concentration,
including visualization and memory-boosting exercises, and is guaranteed to help us all improve the way
we work and the way we live our lives.

The Book
For every woman who has ever longed for the kind of effortlessly willowy frame she sees staring out from
the pages of magazines, that body can now be hers in just five weeks.
Brief Description
The Yoga Body Diet does for Ayurveda what Skinny Bitch did for egoism: it makes a left-of-centre concept
accessible in a hip package. No yoga experience is necessary, and women don’t even have to be able to
touch their toes to follow the programme. With a simple self-test, the reader finds out if she is Pitta (fire:
tending toward irritability), Kapha (earth: tending toward sluggishness) or Vata (air: a bit on the flighty
side). Once she knows her type, the five-week plan provides eating guidelines, meal plans and seventy five
recipes (adaptable to each type) for food that tastes nothing like bland diet fare.
While most weight-loss programmes encourage speed and cardio, the exercise component of The Yoga
Body Diet slows the body’s systems, decreasing stress, blood pressure and cultivating balance in the body.
Instead of leaving the reader starving as endless hours on the treadmill will, this programme grips muscle
to bone for the long and lean frame she always wanted.

Organic Manifesto shows us how organic farming can help solve the climate crisis, heal our planet, feed the
world and keep us safe.
Brief Description
Rodale was founded on the belief that organic gardening is the key to better health both for us and for the
planet, and never has this message been more urgent. Now Maria Rodale sheds new light on the state of
21st century farming. She examines the unholy alliances that have formed between the chemical companies
that produce fertilizer and genetically altered seeds, the agricultural educational systems that is virtually
subsidized by those same companies, and the government agencies in thrall to powerful lobbyists, all of
which perpetuate dangerous farming practices and deliberate misconceptions about organic farming and
foods. Interviews with government officials, doctors, scientists and farmers bolster her position that
chemical-free farming may be the single most effective tool we have to protect our environment and, even
more important, our health.
Even the most sophisticated consumers today are confused over what ‘organic’ really means and how it
fits into their efforts to live ‘greener’ lives. Brief and to the point, Maria Rodale’s highly readable book
sweeps away the misconception about organics and shows that this critical issue reaches far beyond the
farmers’ market and far into our future.

Maria Rodale is the granddaughter of Rodale founder JI Rodale, and became CEO of the company in
