Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products
‘A must-read for everyone who cares about driving customer engagement’ Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup
‘The most high bandwidth, high octane, and valuable presentation I have ever seen on this subject’ Rory Sutherland, vice chairman, Ogilvy & Mather
Nir Eyal reveals how successful companies create products people can’t put down – and how you can too
Why do some products capture our attention while others flop? What makes us engage with certain things out of sheer habit? Is there an underlying pattern to how technologies hook us?
Nir Eyal answers these questions (and many more) with the Hook Model – a four-step process that, when embedded into products, subtly encourages customer behaviour. Through consecutive “hook cycles,” these products bring people back again and again without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging.
Hooked is based on Eyal’s years of research, consulting, and practical experience. He wrote the book he wished had been available to him as a start-up founder – not abstract theory, but a how-to guide for building better products. Hooked is written for product managers, designers, marketers, start-up founders, and anyone who seeks to understand how products influence our behaviour.
Eyal provides readers with practical insights to create user habits that stick; actionable steps for building products people love; and riveting examples from the iPhone to Twitter, Pinterest and the Bible App.

How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body: 10th-Anniversary Edition
There is no longer any doubt that the way we think affects our bodies: countless scientific studies have shown this to be true. For former pharmaceutical scientist Dr David Hamilton, the testing of new drugs highlighted how profoundly the mind and body are connected. Time and time again, the control group of patients in drug trials improved at similar rates to those who actually received the medicines. Astounded, Dr Hamilton decided to change the direction of his work to explore the relationship between the mind and the body.
This bestselling acclaimed book was first published 10 years ago.

These include using imagery to stimulate the immune system – a method that can benefit cancer patients undergoing conventional treatment – effectively using the mind to speed up rehabilitation from stroke, and powerful visualization strategies to help facilitate recovery from injury and illness.

Say goodbye to sleepless nights, stressed-out days, and the chaos overthinking has been causing in your life
Do you worry about every little thing people say or do around you?
What did they mean? Might you have made a mistake? Are they out to get you? Or have you maybe offended or upset them?
Do self-doubt and second-guessing sabotage you at every turn?
Do you agonize about the past and fret over the future, keeping you from making the most of the present?
It’s exhausting living with your mind racing around from one dreadful possibility to the next, even when you know logically that a lot of these thoughts are unrealistic or at least unlikely. Logic quite often has nothing to do with it.
It’s thinking that has got you into this mess, and more unhelpful thinking is simply not the answer.

In this practical and easy-to-use book, you will discover:
- The best way to calm an overactive mind to keep it from overwhelming you

Overthinking can keep you stuck, frozen in place, unable to move forward, and living in an increasingly chaotic mess of fear, paranoia, and self-sabotage.
It can wreck relationships and careers, and create a fearful and limited lifestyle that will always keep you tied in knots… unless you decide to do something different today.
Take the first step on the path to self-mastery and personal power, and grow in courage, confidence, and charisma. This practical and relatable guide will take you on a journey with mental freedom from overthinking as the shining prize.

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion
‘A landmark contribution to humanity’s understanding of itself’ The New York Times
Why can it sometimes feel as though half the population is living in a different moral universe? Why do ideas such as ‘fairness’ and ‘freedom’ mean such different things to different people? Why is it so hard to see things from another viewpoint? Why do we come to blows over politics and religion?
Jonathan Haidt reveals that we often find it hard to get along because our minds are hardwired to be moralistic, judgemental and self-righteous. He explores how morality evolved to enable us to form communities, and how moral values are not just about justice and equality – for some people authority, sanctity or loyalty matter more. Morality binds and blinds, but, using his own research, Haidt proves it is possible to liberate ourselves from the disputes that divide good people.

The Adoption Constellation: New Ways of Thinking About and Practicing Adoption
Clinical psychologist, Michael Grand, brings a compassionate understanding to all members of the adoption constellation. Drawing upon a lifetime of personal experience, research and clinical practice, he challenges conventional ways of thinking about adoption. The limitations of attachment theory as an explanation of adoption outcome are presented. In its place, he suggests a narrative understanding of adoption. Core themes of identity, grief, mattering and trust, permeate these narratives and shape the experience of members of the constellation. As a passionate advocate for openness, Grand explores the psychological costs of denying identifying information to adopted individuals and their birth kin. Parallels are also drawn to an impending crisis as offspring of assisted reproduction seek answers to their identity questions. The book concludes with a consideration of alternative permanency arrangements and a primer for opening closed adoption records. This book will change how we approach adoption in all of its manifestations. Adoptees, birth and adoptive kin, social workers, clergy, teachers, therapists, and legislators alike will find meaning within these pages.Read more

52 Modern Manners for Today’s Teens
THE ONLY THING HARDER THAN PARENTING A TEEN IS BEING A TEEN
THIS 52 WEEK CALENDAR OF CREATIVE AND CRUCIAL TIPS FOR TEENS WILL HELP BOTH PARENTS AND TEENAGERS NAVIGATE OUR MODERN WORLD WITH CONFIDENCE.
A few useful tips you’ll find inside…NOTHING ONLINE IS PRIVATE
If you would not be ok with your parents, their parents, the entire school, or a future employer seeing or reading it, keep it to yourself. Nothing online ever really goes away, and in our digital world, nothing is private.KNOW YOURSELF
When someone asks what you like to do or what you are into, have an answer ready. There is no “right answer” to this question, but “I don’t know” or “nothing” is the wrong answer. You don’t have to be awesome at something to be interested in it. You don’t have to be on a team or in a club to have a hobby. What you love doesn’t have to be loved by everyone else. If you don’t know what to say, take some time to think about it. If no answer comes, try more things.DON’T LEAVE ONE PERSON OUT
Inviting all except one is cruel. Be someone who includes and makes room. If you have a problem with someone, talk to them; don’t just ghost them. Put yourself in that person’s shoes because chances are, you will be left out someday. Remember: there is always room for one more.RESPECT PEOPLE’S HOMES
Ask about their shoe policy. Never put your feet on furniture. Don’t lie on decorative pillows. Ask permission before eating. Keep your food and drinks in the kitchen. Stay in common areas and out of bedrooms. If you mess it up, clean it up. Keep your volume at an appropriate level. If you break something, take responsibility and replace it.Read more

101 Places to Have Sex Before You Die
You remember your first, you remember your worst, and you should definitely remember some special moments in between. But you should also have a few memories of places where you’ve enjoyed “sleeping” with your partner that doesn’t involve the same old place you wake up in every day. 101 PLACES TO HAVE SEX BEFORE YOU DIE provides readers with a list of real places where real people can have sex without too much difficulty (and it’ll always be worth the trouble). In some instances there will only be time to round one of the bases (think “Drive-thru”); other suggestions will allow you time to re-enact that entire beach scene from From Here to Eternity(perhaps on your neighbour’s kitchen floor).Each location in 101 PLACES TO HAVE SEX BEFORE YOU DIE will be accompanied by a box to check off once the reader has successfully completed the deed there, a place where they can mark whether or not they’d venture there again, and a “notes” section for commentary. In addition, helpful icons will indicate certain hazards or special considerations for each place (for instance, if there’s a chance you might get arrested, if there are time constraints, if there’s a risk of embarrassment, etc.).
Whether you’re feeling romantic, adventurous, sporty, lazy, or just plain naughty, this book is a must-have for anyone who enjoys a good romp in the hay (or in the reptile house at the zoo).

Looking after seven children, keeping house, looking amazing, being there for her World Heavyweight husband Tyson, and finding time for herself: this is just a shortlist of what Paris manages.
A lot can go wrong, and often does, but Paris takes it all in her stride.
She learned her great homemaking skills in her Gypsy childhood and here she shares all about daily life with the big Fury family and what works to keep life running – from shopping, mealtimes and big celebrations, to being ready for the unexpected, handling a crisis, and her tricks for keeping their home clean and uncluttered, as well as warm and welcoming.
Balancing day-to-day parenting with Tyson alongside his boxing career, she is open about the stresses that go along with all the travel, fun and excitement.
On top of all this, Paris manages to find time for herself, too – her incredible can-do, ready-for-anything attitude is a real inspiration to us all.

The Chronic Injury Survival Guide: The Effective Program to Fix Chronic Injuries!
Are you in pain? Icing/Stretching not working? Frustrated? I know that feeling all to well. After going to countless doctors for multiple chronic injuries, I took matters into my own hands. I have suffered with Plantar Fasciitis for 3 years, two torn shoulder labrums, a rare neurovascular disorder called “Erythromelalgia” and much more. No where I turned seemed to give me pain relief. Then I got tired of it. I started to read every single study about my injuries I could get my hands on. I found that “soft tissue mobilization therapies” gave the best results without drugs or surgery. I experimented on myself and my friends/family for years until I made my own sequential therapy. This therapy is called “MSTR Therapy”. It is a special way of using a combination of soft tissue mobilization therapies, in a specific order, to fix chronic injuries that do not want to heal. This therapy has fixed thousands of people already when applied to plantar fasciitis. Now you can use it for chronic injuries all over the body! Welcome to MSTR Therapy!! By using this book, and some simple tools that can be made or purchased online, you can fix your pain! This is without the awful side effects of drugs/surgery. This therapy makes sense. When you read how it works (from reading the first couple chapters), you will understand how/why chronic injuries can be fixed. Positive thinking and hope only get you so far, lets fix what’s causing the pain and move on!Read more

Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches (Updated and Expanded Edition)
The doctrine of adoption―God’s decision to adopt sinful men and women into his family―stands at the heart of Christianity. In light of this, Christians’ efforts to adopt beautifully illustrate the truth of the gospel. In this popular-level and practical manifesto, Russell Moore encourages Christians to adopt children and to help other Christian families to do the same. He shows that adoption is not just about couples who have struggled to have children. Rather, it’s about an entire culture within evangelicalism―a culture that sees adoption as part of the Great Commission mandate and as a sign of the gospel itself.

Emerald Guide to Creative Reading and Writing in Autism, An: First Edition
Creativity in autism extends to all areas of life – to the visual arts, to music, to dance – but our backgrounds in English and Applied Drama mean that it is a particular pleasure for us to explore autistic interaction with words. Stereotypes of autism suggest that autistic people are concrete thinkers, people who struggle to move beyond literal interpretations, and that language used by and understood by autistic people lacks flexibility and creativity. We challenge this perspective, instead suggesting that autism may bring new richness and originality to language that can provide creativity and insight. This book shares and discusses two recent projects using the written word to explore autism. The first used the shared reading of literature as a scaffold for discussion of autistic identity. The second involved creative writing by a group of autistic adults. All involved throughout were ‘insider’ members of the autism community, and both projects were completed collectively.Read more
