Teacher Autonomy: Where Has It Gone and Why We Need It Back
Teacher Autonomy is a compelling exploration of the erosion of teacher independence in an era dominated by high-stakes accountability, rigid educational frameworks and a growing distrust of educators. This thought-provoking book delves into the history of autonomy in primary education, examining how shifts in policy and systems have drained creativity, individuality and meaningful connection from classrooms, leaving educators and learners alike disengaged and unmotivated.
Through the voices of real educators, including teachers, teaching assistants, senior leaders and early years practitioners, this book paints a vivid picture of the challenges faced by those on the frontlines of education. It highlights the far-reaching consequences of reduced autonomy, from teacher attrition and low morale to school refusal, mental health struggles and pupil behaviour issues. In response to this, it offers a call to action and provides practical strategies, moments of reflection and actionable solutions to empower educators and leaders to reclaim their professional independence. Covering key topics such as Ofsted, observation and accountability, planning and assessment, teacher retention, teamwork, and mental health and wellbeing, each chapter ignites vital conversations about the future of education.
This book is a must-read for teachers, school leaders and policymakers at any stage of their career, offering valuable insights into how to rebuild trust, foster creativity and rekindle meaningful connections at the core of teaching, as well as navigate the change in the current educational landscape.

A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness (Audio Download): Michael Pollan, Michael Pollan, Penguin Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Books
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the best-selling author of How to Change Your Mind, a pioneering search for consciousness in the brain and beyond
A World Appears is the story of the quest to solve the greatest mystery in nature: consciousness. How does it feel to be you with your own personal feelings, thoughts and experiences? Every one of us is intimately familiar with consciousness, but no one knows how – or why – it came to be that three pounds of grey matter can generate a subjective point of view.
The early 1990s marked the birth of a new science of consciousness, based on the assumption that the phenomenon could be explained in terms of brain activity, but that effort is faltering, and wilder ideas, such as panpsychism, are now getting a hearing. Indeed, there is now reason to doubt that ‘objective science’ as we have known it since Galileo has the right tools to plumb first-person experience. A World Appears takes Michael Pollan from the laboratories where scientists are searching for the neural correlates of consciousness to encounters with philosophers and novelists and Buddhist monks, whom he finds have just as much to teach us about consciousness, if not more.
A story that begins in a brain lab in Seattle ends, of all places, in a cave in the mountains of New Mexico, where the author discovers that explaining consciousness may be less urgent than learning to practice it in our everyday lives.

The Hunger Code: Resetting Your Body’s Fat Thermostat in the Age of Ultra-Processed Food (Audio Download): Dr. Jason Fung, Brian Nishii, Audible Studios: Amazon.co.uk: Books
THE SEQUEL TO THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER THE OBESITY CODE
“Jason Fung nails it again in The Hunger Code. This book clearly and compellingly explains why most Americans are overweight and gives us a concise, evidence-based way to manage our weight with as little hunger as possible.”—Dan Buettner, New York Times bestselling author of The Blue Zones
The Obesity Code helped thousands of people lose weight naturally.
The Hunger Code will help thousands more lose weight—and keep it off—in an era of weight-loss drugs and ultra-processed foods…without counting calories.
For generations, we’ve accepted the story that weight loss can never last—that as soon as we go off the diet or stop taking the medication, we revert to our old habits, regain the weight, and the calorie-counting journey starts all over again. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptom of weight gain rather than addressing its root causes. Too often, healthcare systems intervene with quick fixes and short-term solutions, ignoring the factors that lead to sustainable weight loss that can last a lifetime.
What if the secret to long-term weight maintenance and better health isn’t just about what you eat—or even when you eat—but why you eat?
With the food industry’s reliance on ultra-processed foods and the popularity of Ozempic and Mounjaro, understanding the forces behind why we eat is more important than ever before.
In The Hunger Code, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung reveals the three powerful forces that drive us to eat:
– Physical Hunger
– Emotional Hunger
– Social Hunger
Dr. Fung also introduces the concept of the body’s “fat thermostat”—a biological “set point” that regulates how much fat your body tries to maintain. Guided by hormones and metabolism, this internal system drives hunger and energy use, explaining why lasting weight loss requires more than just willpower …
With three Golden Rules and 50 actionable tips, The Hunger Code empowers you to recognize and respond to hunger appropriately. Learn how to slow digestion, break emotional eating cycles, and overcome social pressures to eat constantly, so you can maintain a healthy weight—from scratch, after fasting, or after using weight-loss drugs.
