Brave New You: A Road Map to Believing that More Is Possible

“Brave New You is full of insight and practical tools to help anyone create the life they want.” — Dr. Nicole LePera, #1 New York Times best-selling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek

From a genre-defining podcaster and mindfulness expert, a bracingly fresh, intensively research-based tool kit for taking charge of your life.

Do you feel that you aren’t living up to your full potential—or, even worse, know that you aren’t? Do you sense you’re drifting—and still believe your life could be bigger and better? If the answer is yes, chances are you’ve already tried a lot of ways to create positive change in your life. And chances are you aren’t any closer to what you want.

This book will give you the lift you need to make that leap.

Your guide on the journey is Cory Allen, author, influencer, and legendary podcaster. To write Brave New You, Cory tapped into insight from his massive community to discover what people most desire to know, where they most want support, and the best way to give them what they need. He’s distilled what he’s learned into a radically fresh, yet profoundly intuitive roadmap for taking charge of your life. With Cory as your guide, you’ll follow a highly intentional, vividly engaging path of proven teachings to make your goals into reality. Your toolbox will include:

• The importance and power of mindset
• How to release habits of negative thinking
• Ways to look at your life with fresh eyes
• Smart strategies to infuse your life with meaning and purpose
• A simple yet radical mindset shift that will change your definition of what’s possible

Along the way, you’ll develop a deep trust in your own intuition, find unshakable confidence to face whatever comes your way, and discover how extraordinary your life—and you—can be.

From Shiva to Schrödinger: Unravelling Cosmic Secrets with Trika Shaivism and Quantum Insights

From Shiva to Schrödinger offers a revelatory journey into the teachings of Trika Shaivism and their remarkable alignment with the discoveries of modern quantum physics. This thought-provoking book demonstrates how the profound insights of this ancient spiritual tradition predate and parallel the concepts emerging from the cutting-edge world of quantum mechanics.

With clarity and depth, the author illustrates how the Trika Shaivism philosophy anticipated many of the important discoveries that modern physicists are just beginning to comprehend. He delves into the heart of both ancient spirituality and contemporary science to showcase how concepts like non-duality, the interconnectedness of all existence, and the illusion of separation resonate powerfully with the latest scientific theories of entanglement, quantum superposition, and the observer effect.

All in all, From Shiva to Schrödinger is not just a bridge between ancient wisdom and contemporary insights; it is a beacon illuminating the path to a deeper understanding of our universe and ourselves. So, whether you are drawn to spiritual inquiry or scientific discovery, this book offers a transformative perspective that will enrich your contemporary quest for knowledge.

A People’s Constitution: The Everyday Life of Law in the Indian Republic

It has long been contended that the Indian Constitution of 1950, a document in English created by elite consensus, has had little influence on India’s greater population. Drawing upon the previously unexplored records of the Supreme Court of India, A People’s Constitution upends this narrative and shows how the Constitution actually transformed the daily lives of citizens in profound and lasting ways. This remarkable legal process was led by individuals on the margins of society, and Rohit De looks at how drinkers, smugglers, petty vendors, butchers, and prostitutes—all despised minorities—shaped the constitutional culture.

The Constitution came alive in the popular imagination so much that ordinary people attributed meaning to its existence, took recourse to it, and argued with it. Focusing on the use of constitutional remedies by citizens against new state regulations seeking to reshape the society and economy, De illustrates how laws and policies were frequently undone or renegotiated from below using the state’s own procedures. De examines four important cases that set legal precedents: a Parsi journalist’s contestation of new alcohol prohibition laws, Marwari petty traders’ challenge to the system of commodity control, Muslim butchers’ petition against cow protection laws, and sex workers’ battle to protect their right to practice prostitution.

Exploring how the Indian Constitution of 1950 enfranchised the largest population in the world, A People’s Constitution considers the ways that ordinary citizens produced, through litigation, alternative ethical models of citizenship.

Listening When Parts Speak: A Practical Guide to Healing with Internal Family Systems Therapy and Ancestor Wisdom

An expert therapist and teacher leads you on a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing from collective and intergenerational trauma, based in the powerful practice of Internal Family Systems therapy.

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of psychotherapy is acclaimed for its power to help us recognize and integrate disparate parts of ourselves—a revolutionary course of treatment that can yield extraordinary results. But not all the work of IFS takes place in the confines of traditional therapy sessions. In this thoughtful and compassionate guide, Tamala Floyd, LCSW, gives readers the resources to expand their “parts work” beyond the therapist’s office and into daily life—where the real healing happens.

To write Listening When Parts Speak, Floyd draws on 20-plus years of experience as a psychotherapist, teacher, consultant, and coach specializing in healing trauma, and in particular, intergenerational trauma. Each chapter offers lucid explanations of key concepts, illustrative stories from patients (as well as Floyd’s own experience), and a guided meditation that can be used either in between therapy appointments to support and reinforce the work or as a way to begin an IFS therapy journey. In these pages, readers will:

• Explore the healing principles of IFS therapy
• Get to know their own parts—including wounded “exiles” and dedicated “protectors”
• Foster a trusting connection between the parts and the secure Self that connects them all
• Start to free themselves from beliefs that no longer serve them
• Connect with the wisdom and guidance of ancestors for deeper understanding and healing

Practitioners, too, will find Listening When Parts Speak an invaluable resource for supporting their patients and enhancing their own practice.

Timmy Failure’s Completely Calamitous 5 Books Boxset (Mistakes Were Made, Now Look What You’ve Done, We Meet Again, Sanitized for Your Protection and The Book You’re Not Supposed to Have)

“An endearingly pathetic antihero with delusions of greatness. . . . Seldom has failure been so likable — or so funny.”
— The Wall Street Journal

Timmy Failure is a brilliantly bad eleven-year-old detective and CEO of his own detective agency “Total Failure, Inc”. Assisted by his polar bear sidekick, Total, Timmy sets out to solve mysteries, fight evil, make money to pay his mum’s bills and most importantly defeat his arch-enemy Corrina Corrina (the-girl-who-shall-not-be-named) who has a rival agency and top marks at school to boot. Timmy and Total’s antics are unfailingly hilarious and their clueless yet strangely over-confident attempts to fight crime will have you crying with laughter.

Written and illustrated by comic genius Stephan Pastis, the cartoon illustrations bring the stories to life. Pastis turned his hand to children’s fiction with the first Timmy Failure book Mistakes Were Made in 2013. It was an instant bestseller in the US and is soon to be made into a Disney film.

There are now seven books in the series which is a must for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Barry Loser or Tom Gates, and all readers aged 8 and upwards who love silly stories. The comic adventures of Timmy and Total are riotous but also surprisingly poignant and may bring a tear to your eye.

Start with Book 1 to get Timmy’s back story and his “historical record of my life as a detective”, rigorously fact-checked by Timmy himself and prepare for a side-splitting adventure.

This Collection Includes:

1. Mistakes Were Made
2. Now Look What You’ve Done
3. We Meet Again
4. Sanitized For Your Protection
5. The Book You’re Not Supposed to Have
