					<description><![CDATA[<b>In <i>Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal</i>, Robin Ince, author and former co-host of Radio 4's <i>Infinite Monkey Cage</i>, uses his own late-stage diagnosis of ADHD to explore neurodivergence and anxiety.</b>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>&#8216;Authentic, heartbreakingly wonderful and refreshingly grounded &#8211; this book captures the internal neurodivergent experience with rare grace and warmth&#8217; &#8211; Camilla Pang, award-winning author of <i>Explaining Humans</i></p>
<p>&#8216;Tingles with the joy of being different. This book made me so happy&#8217; &#8211; Chris Packham, naturalist and award-winning author of <i>Fingers in the Sparkle Jar</i></p>
<p>A powerful, personal exploration of anxiety, ADHD and neurodiversity, <i>Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal </i>reminds us all &#8211; no matter how weird we feel &#8211; that it&#8217;s okay to be a little different. We all are. </b></p>
<p>What if being a bit weird is actually entirely normal? What if sharing our internal struggles wasn&#8217;t a sign of weakness, but of strength?</p>
<p>For over thirty years, award-winning broadcaster and comedian Robin Ince has entertained thousands in person and on air. But underneath the surface, a whirlwind was at play &#8211; a struggle with sadness, concentration, self-doubt and near-constant anxiety. But then he discovered he had all the hallmarks of ADHD, and his stumbling blocks became stepping stones.</p>
<p>In <i>Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal</i>, Robin uses his own life to explore the neurodivergent experience and to ask what the point of &#8216;being normal&#8217; really is. Packed with personal insights, intimate anecdotes and interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists and many neurodivergent people he has met along the way, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of human behaviour.</p>
<p><b>&#8216;This is a comforting hug of a book. Insightful, warm, funny and compassionate, it will make readers, whether neurotypical or neurodivergent, feel less alone&#8217; &#8211; Laura Bates, bestselling author of <i>Everyday Sexism</i></p>
<p>&#8216;Weirdness is inescapable, and no one does it better than Robin Ince. A superb book, celebrating the needed weirdness in us all&#8217; &#8211; Chris Hadfield, astronaut and five-time bestselling author</b></p>

					<description><![CDATA[A groundbreaking investigation into the new science of stress hormones and their impact on our bodies - covering obesity, mental health, early years attachment, Type 2 diabetes, fertility and more - from one of the UK&#39;s leading hormone scientists and a <i>Guardian</i> journalist.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>&#39;Read this and add at least a fortnight to your life.&#39; &#8211; Jeremy Vine</p>
<p>&#39;Real, down-to-earth and urgently needed.&#39; &#8211; Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of <i>Four Thousand Weeks</i></p>
<p>Why do we feel stress? And how can we change things?</b></p>
<p><i>How Stress Works </i>is a pioneering collaboration between leading researcher Richard Mackenzie and journalist Peter Walker. Investigating the science of stress hormones, real-life case studies, the history of stress, societal factors and how they interact with stress, Mackenzie and Walker explain exactly how stress works, and what we can do to mitigate its long-term health impact. This is <i>the </i>book exploring the nuances of stress and how it affects you.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll learn how stress impacts and interacts with:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your hormones</li>
<li>Weight</li>
<li>Type 2 diabetes</li>
<li>Your work and socio-economic status</li>
<li>Fertility and pregnancy</li>
<li>Early childhood and upbringing</li>
<li>Plus practical and adaptable strategies for coping with stress at home and at work</li>
</ul>
<p>Packed with conversation-starting science and stories, <i>How Stress Works</i> answers the important questions and busts common myths. Did you know that low-carb diets can increase cortisol levels, as can HIIT exercise, causing insulin and glucose surges? Or that stress hormones can affect fertility for all genders? Mackenzie and Walker dive into society and stress, considering if the higher rate of type two diabetes in disadvantaged communities is entirely due to lack of healthy food and exercise &#8211; or is the stress of poverty itself a major factor?</p>
<p>One thing is clear: stress is complex and personal, with many contributing factors. In <i>How Stress Works</i>, the authors present the view that much (if not most) stress is caused by factors outside of your control. It&#8217;s not your fault if you&#8217;re stressed. But having the knowledge and understanding of what is happening in your body when stress occurs is a powerful step towards minimizing it.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>An immersive journey into healing through wild plants, as Brigit Anna McNeill blends folklore, ecology and her own recovery. Exploring the wildlife and medicine of common flowers and trees, she shows how nature's cycles can guide us through trauma and reconnection. <em data-start="387" data-end="404">The Wild Within</em> reveals a botanical path back to self-care.</p>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>An immersive, enriching and sensory journey of healing, one wild plant at a time.</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8216;The wild is never finished. It insists on returning, on reweaving, on remaking what has been broken. And it was the wild that first taught me I could do the same.</em> <em>I didn&#8217;t come to plants as a scholar or a healer. I came as someone who had forgotten how to belong to herself. I came raw, fractured, emptied out by years of surviving. I came because I needed to find away back into my own body.&#8217;</em></p>
<p>In a series of viscerally alive chapters, exploring the wildlife, folklore and medicinal properties of common wild flowers and trees, Brigit Anna McNeill tells her own story of recovery and rewilding.</p>
<p>Herbalist, trained therapist, and popular Instagram and Substack writer McNeill explains how the natural cycle of dispersal, growth and bloom can inspire our recovery from trauma, stress and illness. By weaving together both the beauty and psychology of reciprocity and non-human connection, she deepens our interaction with the wildness to be found both in the city and the woodlands beyond.</p>
<p><strong><em>The Wild Within</em> illuminates a botanical path of self-care.</strong></p>
