A diagnosis of bipolar disorder can be scary... but it also opens up an opportunity for growth and stability. Ready to find the answers? Around one in every 100 people is diagnosed with bipolar disorder at some point in their lives… but if you're one of them, it probably feels more isolating than that. Despite the rising awareness of mental health challenges, it's a condition still shrouded in misunderstanding, and while you're caught up in the extreme highs and lows it presents, it's difficult to understand it yourself, let alone help anyone else to understand it. A diagnosis can bring a sense of relief—an explanation to help you finally make sense of what's been happening with you… but it can also be scary. Mariah Carey, who's spoken outwardly about her experience with bipolar disorder, said that she "didn't want to believe" it when she was given her diagnosis… and perhaps that's a feeling you can relate to. It can make you feel terribly alone, especially when you don't understand all the nuances of bipolar disorder or how to manage it well… But this is where your diagnosis is a blessing. Now that you know you have it, you can dive beneath the hood and implement techniques that you didn't know to try before now. But when there's so much to know, where do you start? Right here. Written by an author whose diagnosis marked a positive turning point, this empathetic and holistic approach to understanding and managing bipolar disorder will show you exactly what you need to know. Whether you're living with the condition yourself or you're caring for someone who is, your journey toward understanding starts here. You might think a diagnosis is the end of your journey… It all makes sense now, after all. But this is just the start of your path—because with a deeper understanding and a wealth of strategies you can turn to at any time, you can completely transform your daily experience.

A stylish guide to art of 'house hushing' and how to dial down the visual 'noise' in your home through decluttering, curating your possessions, shopping more mindfully and decorating with calming colors. “‘ House hushing' is a new interiors trend that's making (the right kind of) noise in these troubling times." Guardian A beautiful, authoritative guide to the concept of house hushing, The Quiet Home incorporates design principles and strategies for dialing down the visual noise in your home, and creating serene interiors that promote calm and wellbeing. It takes a pared-down, thoughtful approach to home interiors and explains how to create spaces that whisper rather than shout. The Quiet Home takes as its starting point the idea that everything in an interior has a voice and creates noise. By reducing this visual noise through thoughtful design principles and strategies we can create a more serene living environment that in turn increases our wellbeing. A concept that delves deeper than aesthetic principles and how a home looks, quietening the spaces we live in can greatly affect how we feel. The book offers a guide to hushing our homes covering mindful minimalism, the art of editing, spatial design, and room-by-room strategies. It provides insights for both creating a quiet home and adopting a more considered way of life. It begins with five key principles that provide a framework for the concept - Soothing Color, Natural Elements, Tactility, Soft Shapes and Flexibility, then, chapter by chapter, presents detailed methods for cultivating quiet spaces. with chapters on Mindful Minimalism, The Art of the Edit, Room by Room and Quiet Perspectives. Analysis of the work of renowned designers and brands offers further insights, along with beautiful imagery that takes the reader on a global journey of inspiring homes and design. A comprehensive guide to read cover to cover, the book's chapters can also be read in any order, providing clear reference points for a range of home projects, large or small.

An illuminating look at the surprising upside of ambiguity-and how, properly harnessed, it can inspire learning, creativity, even empathy Life today feels more overwhelming and chaotic than ever. Whether it's a confounding work problem or a faltering relationship or an unclear medical diagnosis, we face constant uncertainty. And we're continually bombarded with information, much of it contradictory. Managing ambiguity-in our jobs, our relationships, and daily lives-is quickly becoming an essential skill. Yet most of us don't know where to begin. As Jamie Holmes shows in Nonsense, being confused is unpleasant, so we tend to shutter our minds as we grasp for meaning and stability, especially in stressful circumstances. We're hard-wired to resolve contradictions quickly and extinguish anomalies. This can be useful, of course. When a tiger is chasing you, you can't be indecisive. But as Nonsense reveals, our need for closure has its own dangers. It makes us stick to our first answer, which is not always the best, and it makes us search for meaning in the wrong places. When we latch onto fast and easy truths, we lose a vital opportunity to learn something new, solve a hard problem, or see the world from another perspective. In other words, confusion-that uncomfortable mental place-has a hidden upside. We just need to know how to use it. This lively and original book points the way. Over the last few years, new insights from social psychology and cognitive science have deepened our understanding of the role of ambiguity in our lives and Holmes brings this research together for the first time, showing how we can use uncertainty to our advantage. Filled with illuminating stories-from spy games and doomsday cults to Absolut Vodka's ad campaign and the creation of Mad Libs-Nonsense promises to transform the way we conduct business, educate our children, and make decisions. In an increasingly unpredictable, complex world, it turns out that what matters most isn't IQ, willpower, or confidence in what we know. It's how we deal with what we don't understand.

Social pedagogy, whose ancestral home is nineteenth century Germany, and which is widely practised in many parts of Continental Europe, has recently arrived in the English-speaking world. As practice, social pedagogy has been around for a long time, but as many roses by other names. These "roses" include: "care of the poor", "child welfare", and, more recently, "social work". But today, social pedagogy, has entered the English language, and is here to stay. It has not made inroads into the vernacular yet, but is commonly used in the social professions and also, increasingly,in academic and policy circles. Moreover, in the UK, for example, social pedagogy courses (bachelor and master) have appeared in several universities, including the University of Aberdeen and the University of London. Notwithstanding, from what can be seen, there is as yet no textbook of social pedagogy in English. SOCIAL PEDAGOGY: Heart and Head, seeks to fill that gap. As things are, students have to trawl a multitude of sources in order to find English texts on social pedagogy. Some of the sources are excellent; others dubious. The intention of a concise textbook is to present and explore the relationship between social pedagogic theory and practice in an introductory text, and to do so in easy-to-understand, but not trivialising, language. Given that social pedagogy is (or should be) based on compassionate values, the Heart, as a metaphor for human kindness, is a moral compass. It reminds the Head, which is the site of rational action, that best practice is not just about effectiveness but also concerns social justice. The emancipatory goal of social pedagogy is to enable, through educational means, perceived efficacy so that people can change their lives and society for the better. The author has italicised their lives in order to make an important point. Social pedagogic practice is not a doing to the other, but rather a doing for and doing with the other. For this reason, respectful dialogue must lie at the centre of social pedagogic relationships.

Bloomsbury presents The Last Titans: Churchill and de Gaulle by Richard Vinen, read by Charles Armstrong. 'Deeply researched yet highly readable, with fresh and often provocative insights' DAVID REYNOLDS 'A vivid and shrewd reckoning ... setting its assessment in the perspective of today's troubled world' PETER CLARKE A compelling dual biography of Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle that shines new light on two of the greatest figures of the twentieth century. Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle were thrown together by war. They incarnated the resistance of Britain and France to the existential threat from Nazi Germany, and their ultimate victory over Hitler has ensured their achievements will never be forgotten. But, as The Last Titans: Churchill and de Gaulle shows, that is only a part of a complex story. Both men influenced their countries, and the world around them, long after the war was won. There was a paradox in the parallel and intertwined lives of these extraordinary men. De Gaulle – tall, gauche and incorruptible – exhibited qualities often associated with the English. Churchill – short, charming, witty and a bon vivant – resembled the quintessential politician of the French Third Republic. Their working relationship was rarely smooth, but they appreciated each other's stature: de Gaulle said Churchill was 'the great artist of a great history', while Churchill recognised de Gaulle as 'l'homme du destin'. Wolfson Prize-winning historian Richard Vinen explores what made these men exceptional and how profoundly they were influenced by their national cultures. Beyond personal intrigue, the book makes a wider point that Britain and France are both haunted by perceptions of past greatness. Vinen retraces the paths of two leaders who once helmed superpowers but lived to see their nations weakened by two world wars and the loss of empires. Written with extraordinary narrative verve, The Last Titans: Churchill and de Gaulle offers a fresh exploration into the lives of de Gaulle and Churchill. By bringing their two stories into one, each man is seen afresh and we gain new insights into their achievements and their legacy today.

Artist, designer, and tastemaker Young’s first book celebrating his homes and showcasing his distinct design aesthetic, with its emphasis on serene and modern classicism. Young has built a strong following both for his fine art and his beautiful homes. In his first book, he invites readers into his world, answering their most-asked questions: “How do I create a uniquely beautiful home?” and “How can I be creative in the approach to my home’s look?” The book is arranged by the five guiding principles Young lives by: palette, texture, form, layers, and nostalgia. Whether creating a painting, designing a room, styling a vignette, or entertaining family and friends, these elements are essential to his work. The book shows readers how Young uses these concepts in his decorating, detailing his philosophy and overall creative approach as an artist and designer, and how they, too, can lean on them to curate beautiful environments. Rich with new, serenely stunning images of his townhouse in DC and his never-before-seen country house in Virginia, Sycamore House, the book also features beautiful images of Young’s portraiture, collages, and abstracts, as well as flower arrangements, textiles, and ceramics. Ultimately, this book will inspire readers to establish their own point of view and translate it across any creative project they pursue, to create a life that is artful, beautiful, and unique.

'No writer asks more interesting questions about food than Carolyn Steel because no one takes more seriously the profound role of food at the heart of human life...destined to become a modern classic' BEE WILSON We live in a world shaped by food, a Sitopia (sitos - food; topos - place). Food, and how we search for and consume it, has defined our human journey. From our foraging hunter-gatherer ancestors to the enormous appetites of modern cities, food has shaped our bodies and homes, our politics and trade, and our climate. Whether it's the daily decision of what to eat, or the monopoly of industrial food production, food touches every part of our world. But by forgetting its value, we have drifted into a way of life that threatens our planet and ourselves. Yet food remains central to addressing the predicaments and opportunities of our urban, digital age. Drawing on insights from philosophy, history, architecture, literature, politics and science, as well as stories of the farmers, designers and economists who are remaking our relationship with food, Sitopia is a provocative and exhilarating vision for change, and how to thrive on our crowded, overheating planet. In her inspiring and deeply thoughtful new book Carolyn Steel, points the way to a better future. *A DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020*

'Honest, insightful and vulnerable' Forbes 'Compellingly artful... a blockbuster memoir' The New Yorker 'The most insightful royal book in a generation' Financial Times 'A rattling page-turner... As a personal insight into one boy's life in an extraordinary spotlight, it may never be better' Sunday Times ________ Sunday Times Memoir of the Year 2023 It was one of the images of the twentieth century: two boys, walking behind the coffin of their mother, Princess Diana. Billions wondered what the princes must be feeling - and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last. Before then, Prince Harry was known as the happy-go-lucky Spare to the more serious Heir. But grief changed everything. At twenty-one, he joined the Army but was soon more lost than ever, suffering from post-traumatic stress and crippling panic attacks. Above all, he couldn't find true love. Then he met Meghan. The world was swept away by the couple's romance and wedding. But in the face of sustained press intrusion, Harry saw no other way to protect his wife and children than to flee his mother country. Over the centuries, leaving the Royal Family was an act few had dared. The last to try had been his mother. . . Written with raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is full of insight, revelation and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.

Roads to (Hi)Stories The work of the Romanian-German artist and filmmaker Aurelia Mihai (b. Bucharest, 1968; lives and works in Hamburg) brings clashing cultural, social, and political phenomena and events into focus. She uncovers cultural traditions and translates them into a contemporary register. In the works featured in this volume, Aurelia Mihai links aspects of documentation and research with fiction in a multifaceted way. Thus legends and historical incidents are frequently the occasion or the starting point for a sociocritical examination of the present. The various, in part contrasting perspectives and realities that result in the process are artfully woven together in Aurelia Mihai’s powerful visual language and merge to become evocative images. With slow camera shots she creates an inquiry into our individual concepts of reality. In doing so, she makes an important contribution to how we contemplate video art. At the same time, she reflects on the medium itself and reexamines it time and again as to how it can be made to express the artist’s vision of the past and the present. “LUPA” (2014–2016) is an investigative art project in which a work of ancient art (The Capitoline Wolf ) and the vicissitudes of its history exemplify the accretion of meanings that constitutes an object’s contemporary significance. The ensemble consists of an art video, a series of around thirty photographs in poster formats, and this book, which also documents additional projects.

Aufbrechen hegemonialer Wissensordnungen Mariechen Danz’ (geb. 1980 in Dublin, lebt in Berlin) Arbeit nimmt Kommunikation und Wissenstransfer als Ausgangspunkt und stellt dabei den Körper in das Zentrum ihrer prozessbasierten künstlerischen Praxis. Mit ihren Skulpturen, Zeichnungen, Kostümen und Installationen, die sie im Zuge von Performances aktiviert, untersucht sie die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Sprache, die Lesbarkeit von Zeichen und deren hierarchische Systeme. Immer wieder kreist Danz’ künstlerischer Diskurs um die Subjektivität allen menschlichen Verstehens. An die Stelle von eindimensionalen Erklärungsmodellen treten Empathie und Neugier. Mit dekolonialen Ansätzen rüttelt Danz an eurozentrischen Geschichtsbildern und hegemonialen Wertvorstellungen und offeriert eine neue Art alternativer Wissensvermittlung – und die Lust am Improvisieren. Der Katalog Clouded in Veins dokumentiert Danz’ raumgreifende Einzelausstellung im Rahmen der Ruhrfestspiele 2021 in der Kunsthalle Recklinghausen. Mit Texten von Malte Roloff, Angelika Stepken und Susanne Witzgall. Dismantling Hegemonic Orders of Knowledge Mariechen Danz’s (b. Dublin, 1980; lives in Berlin) work takes communication and the transfer of knowledge as its point of departure and places the human body at the center of her process-based artistic practice. In sculptures, drawings, costumes, and installations, which she activates in performances, she probes the potentials and limitations of language, the legibility of signifiers and their hierarchical systems. Danz’s artistic discourse insistently encircles the subjectivity of all human understanding, replacing one-dimensional explanatory models with empathy and curiosity. Decolonial approaches let Danz unsettle Eurocentric conceptions of history and hegemonic ideas of value and propose an alternative form of the dissemination of knowledge—and the pleasure of improvisation. The catalogue Clouded in Veins documents Danz’s sprawling solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Recklinghausen as part of the 2021 Ruhrfestspiele. With essays by Malte Roloff, Angelika Stepken and Susanne Witzgall.
