All of us experience complicated thoughts & feelings as we negotiate the day & these feelings can be difficult to manage. Sometimes we are aware that the way we think contributes to our difficulties, but don't know what to do about it.

- something that is within everyone's grasp.

CBT can help you change your thinking & make a difference to your life

Born without social instincts many people take for granted, brought up in a troubled environment & possessed with an extraordinary musical talent, Mike Oldfield was thrust into the spotlight at the tender age of nineteen. His first album Tubular Bells went on to sell fifteen million copies worldwide & catapulted him into a stardom he was ill-equipped to cope with.

From growing up with an alcoholic mother, to his feelings of alienation & struggles with depression, this book takes Mike from his early years, through his staggering fame, his broken marriages, years as a recluse, his rebirth experience at a controversial Exegesis seminar & beyond. Mike Oldfield has been on a journey few of us could ever imagine, & offers a message of hope to anybody who feels they live on the edge of society.

In Powers That Be, Power Lines & Power Play bestselling authors Anne Mc Caffrey & Elizabeth Ann Scarborough told ...

Dennis Potter was born & brought up in the Forest of Dean- a 'strange & beautiful place', as he described it in the last interview before his death, 'rather ugly villages in beautiful landscape, a heart- shaped place between two rivers, somehow slightly cut off from the rest of Engl&... with a people as warm as anywhere else, but they seemed warmer to me.' It was a childhood which informed all his television work, from his first documentary to such classic dramas as The Singing Detective.

The Changing Forest, first published in 1962, is Potter's deeply personal study of that small area- its people, traditions, ceremonies & institutions- at a time of profound cultural & social change in the late 1950s & early '60s. With extraordinary precision & feeling he describes the fabric of a world whose old ways are yielding to the new: habits altering; expectations growing; work, leisure, language itself changing under the impact of the new television, of commercial jingles & the early Elvis. &, with powerful sympathy & wit, he asks whether the gains of modernity have, for the individuals & society he so marvellously evokes, been worth the loss.

Part autobiography of one of this century's greatest writers, part elegy for a vanishing way of life, part testament to the abiding humanity that underlies all Potter's work, this exquisite, passionate & brillinat book is a classic of its kind.
