In the 2006 case of the
US Government vs Enron,
the presiding judge
instructed the jurors to
take account of the
concept of wilful
blindness as they reached
their verdict about
whether the chief
executives of the
disgraced energy
corporation were guilty.
It was not enough for the
defendants to say that
they did not know what
was going on; that they
had not seen anything. If
they failed to observe
the corruption which was
unfolding before their
very eyes, not knowing
was no defence. The
guilty verdict sent
shivers down the spine of
the corporate world. In
this book, distinguished
business woman and
writer, Margaret
Heffernan, examines the
phenomenon of wilful
blindness. Drawing on a
wide array of sources
from psychological
studies and social
statistics to interviews
with the relevant
protagonists she examines
what it is about human
nature which makes us so
prone to wilful
blindness. Taught from
infancy to obey
authority, and absorbing
the importance of
selective vision as a key
social skill, humans
exacerbate their tendency
to become
institutionalised by
joining organisations
which are run by
like-minded people. She
looks at how hard work
and the information
overload of the modern
workplace add to the
problem. And she examines
why whistleblowers and
Cassandras are so very
rare. Ranging freely
through history and from
business to science,
government to the family,
this engaging and
anecdotal book will
explain why wilful
blindness is so dangerous
in the globalised,
interconnected world in
which we live, before
suggesting ways in which
institutions and
individuals can start to
combat it. In the
tradition of Malcolm
Gladwell and Nassim
Nicholas Taleb, Margaret
Heffernan's thought
provoking book will force
open our eyes.

Every day we are issued
with new directives from
those who are trying to
run our lives and grim
news about the recession
is beamed at us
constantly. On top of
that, we work longer
hours, so we
increasingly enlist
helpers to manage the
home we hardly spend any
time in. We're also
snowed under by
conflicting advice for
the myriad of decisions
to be made - do we buy
vegetables that have been
flown half way round the
world, or let peasant
farmers go bust as we cut
down on our air miles?
The list seems endless,
and confusing. It's
enough to drive you round
the f***ing bend - but
there's no point in
letting it get to you.
This book is your guide
to keeping your spirits
up, cutting through the
crap and deciding what
rules you're going to
live your life by, on
your terms, and sod
everyone else. To achieve
your goal of smiling
through the credit
crisis, it's time to
learn some new rules. In
this new book from Janet
Street-Porter, her tips
and wisdom will help you
make changes and adapt to
the new regime of our
world today. Take a deep

won't bother doing any
more and substitute
activities that give you
pleasure and make your
limited resources go
further. The book's many
chapters help you

with the right attitude
in order to really be in
charge. Red Tape focuses

regulations from councils

Money tells you how to

you instead of the other
way around and gives
advice on how to budget

stifling the good stuff.
Forget the old way of
doing things: an A-Z of
the new social strategy

advises on everything
from giving presents to
dumping your partner. And

speak of politicians,
health officials, and
supermarket labelling
into plain English for
the rest of us. Life is a
journey and we're
experiencing a bumpy
patch - but if you think
creatively and stick to
your guns, there's no
reason why you shouldn't
emerge from it unscathed
and a great deal happier.

The final book from the
world's favourite medium,
who died in 2002,
contains 101 original
poems about life and
commentaries on each one.
Betty Shine died in March
2002 of heart failure, a
bitter irony for a woman
who spoke from the heart
and devoted much of her
life to healing others.
Having spent the last
decade of her life
committing her thoughts
and tales of her
incredible experiences to
paper in 11 popular and
often best-selling books,
Betty began
experimenting with a new
outlet for her unique
philosophy of life --
poetry. Though she had
written heartfelt poems
for many years, it was
only in her last year
that it was finally
recognized as being
really special, when she
began getting interest
from professional record
producers about setting
some to music and turning
a number of the verses
into lyrics. It seemed
that the musical
instincts Betty had honed
as a professional opera
singer were showing
themselves quite
unwittingly in the way
she wrote her poetry.
This final book from
Betty Shine collects
together 101 of her
poems, and is introduced
by her daughter, Janet,
who worked closely with
Betty and has inherited
many of her amazing
psychic gifts. Janet
provides a short
introduction to each
poem, allowing a unique
intimacy into the
background to each one.
The collection is at once
thought-provoking and
inspiring, presenting an
honest summary of so many
of the thoughts and
sentiments that made
Betty's books so popular
and stimulating. The
wisdom enshrined in these
pieces, will provide
support and solace to her
many devoted fans, as
well as being the perfect
introduction for those
who have yet to be
touched by the magic of
Betty Shine.

Charles F. Haanel created
his personal development
programme, known as the
Master Key System, in
1912. It has been hugely
influential, inspiring
Napoleon Hill's Think and
Grow Rich (1937), the
first self-help book,
and more recently (2006)
the international
bestseller The Secret.
Millions of people
worldwide now realise
that success in life
comes from more than just
chance, fate, good
connections, or even
hard work. Rumour has it
that while he was
attending Harvard, Bill
Gates discovered Charles
F. Haanel's book, which
prompted him to drop out
of university and pursue
his dream of 'a computer
on every desk and in
every home'. Thanks to
books like The Secret,
the 'law of attraction'
has become well known,
as a way to help us to
shed negative attitudes
and habits and fulfill
our potential. Now here
at last is the crucial
next step: a book that
places such ideas in the
context of a practical
daily process for
attaining your goals.
Haanel believed in
positive action and hard
work, but he also
believed in the ability
of every one of us to tap
into the divine source of
knowledge and wisdom that
permeates the universe.
Tapping the Source
combines the timeless
wisdom of Haanel with the
benefits of a century of
ground-breaking
developments in the use
of meditation,
psychology and focused
concentration to reach
alpha states for peak
performance. Tapping the
Source teaches methods
that enable you to
manifest your dreams,
becoming wholly connected
with others and finding
the means within yourself
to live your life to its
fullest. If life had an
instruction manual with
step-by-step instructions
on how to achieve success
and happiness, Tapping
the Source would be that
book.

Fascinating and
provocative, Ariely's
The Truth About
Dishonesty is an
insightful and
brilliantly researched
take on cheating,
deception and willpower.
Internationally
bestselling author Ariely
pulls no punches when it
comes to home truths.
Previous titles
PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL
and THE UPSIDE OF
IRRATIONALITY have
becomes classics in their
field, revealing
unexpected and
astonishing traits that
run through modern
humankind. Now acclaimed
behavioural economist Dan
Ariely delves deeper into
the dark and murky
recesses of contemporary
psychology, daring to
ask the big questions:
What makes us cheat? How
and why do we rationalise
deception of ourselves
and other people, and
make ourselves 'wishfully
blind' to the blindingly
obvious? What affects our
infuriatingly intangible
willpower and how can we
'catch' the cheating bug
from other bad apples? If
you've ever wondered how
a whole company can turn
a blind eye to evident
misdemeanours within
their ranks, whether
people are born dishonest
and whether you can
really be successful by
being totally, brutally
honest, then Dan has the
answers, and many more.

Six million people in the
UK, often unnoticed by
the rest of us, provide
unpaid care for disabled
or elderly relatives,
friends or neighbours.
Their job is long,
lonely and hard, yet
there is limited support
and no formal training.
As a result, carers
suffer frequent damage to
physical and mental
health. Oddly, though
carers by definition are
anything but selfish
pigs, they are liable to
feelings of guilt,
probably brought on by
fatigue and isolation. So
Hugh Marriott has written
this book for them - and
also for the rest of us
who don't know what being
a carer is all about. His
aim is bring into the
open everything he wishes
he'd been told when he
first became a carer. And
he does. The book airs
such topics as sex,
thoughts of murder, and
dealing with the
responses of friends and
officials who fail to
understand. This is a
must-read for anyone
involved with caring.

Many people's lives,
relationships, careers
and wellbeing are
blighted by the belief
that to be liked, loved
and accepted they have to
limit themselves to the
behaviours they believe
are approved of by
others. This might mean
some or all of the
following: always being
polite, nice, helpful,
charming, fun, making
people feel good about
themselves, not letting
people down, never
saying 'no', avoiding
conflict and putting
others' needs before
their own. In her 15
years of clinical
experience as a
psychologist Jacqui
Marson has coined the
phrase 'the curse of
lovely' to describe this
growing trend. Many
people would like to be
known as lovely, but for
a growing number of
people it can feel like a
curse. They feel unable
to put their own needs
before those of everyone
else, and feel that
changing this is not an
option. This highly
practical and
motivational book will
show readers how to break
curse of lovely to live a
more complete,
fulfilling life. Contents
include: when 'lovely'
turns into a curse; the
lovely child - how it all
begins; the different
shades of lovely - which
one are you?; from curse
to gift - how we can
still be lovable and get
our needs met; but what
do I want - how to tune
in to what your body is
telling you;
re-evaluating anger;
saying 'no' and
surviving; how to
instigate scary
conversations; and how to
replace the personal
rules that put you at the
bottom on the pile.

Over the past quarter
century Irvin Yalom has
established himself as
the world's leading group
psychotherapist. In
STARING AT THE SUN, he
explores how the
knowledge of our own
mortality affects the
unconscious mind of every
human being. Tackling the
effect of mankind's fear
of death - both conscious
and unconscious - on life
and how we might live it,
Yalom explains how we
find ourselves in need of
the comfort of therapy.
At age 70 and facing his
own fear of death, which
he discusses in a special
afterword, Dr Yalom
tackles his toughest
subject yet and finds it
to be the root cause of
patients' fears,
stresses and depression.
If therapists are to
deliver 'the gift of
therapy', they must
confront the realities of
life for themselves and
their practice, as must
we all.

Thousands of women are
affected by depression
every year, suffering
individual episodes at
nearly twice the rate
that men do. The prime
years for depression are
also, not
coincidentally, the
primary childbearing
years: between 25 and 44.
In The Ghost in the
House, award-winning
reporter Tracy Thompson
explores the science and
psychology of maternal
depression, integrating
her own experiences as a
mother and depression
sufferer with survey
results from 400 mothers
who have been diagnosed
with major depression. It
is an illness at the
intersection of genetic
vulnerability and
environment - in this
case, the unprecedented
level of stress that
mothers live with today.
By its very nature, it
affects the lives of the
children who grow up in
its shadow - a fact long
known to scientists but
rarely discussed.
Thompson's top-notch
science writing builds on
the tradition of blending
memoir with journalism to
put a human face on a
common, and much
misunderstood
psychological state. A
book every woman and
mother must readm it is
groundbreaking in its
research, evocative,
hopeful, graceful and
tough.

We all face seemingly

anything from feeling
nervous when facing a
roomful of people we dont
know to not knowing how
to deliver bad news,
clear up a

apologize when we have

obstacles, walk around
what we cant walk through
and make real changes in
our lives. With chapters
including: If you dont
ask, you dont get, Fix
the physical, Getting

Confrontation is an

The Rough Guide to the
Brain answers all the
important questions: how
does the memory work? Are
we addicted to
television? What is
Alzheimer's Disease? Can
machines read our minds?
The human brain, with
all its inherent
complexity, has taken on
near mythical status. Its
100 billion nerve cells,
forged by nature and
refined over millions of
years, allow humans the
capacity to survive,
create culture, love.
Once an impenetrable grey
mass, modern science is
getting to grips with our
brains at an
unprecedented rate. We
are moving from a time of
anatomy, in which
science did well to
characterize the various
regions of the brain, to
a time in which we can
observe thought processes
in real time. We have
entered a neural
renaissance. The Rough
Guide to the Brain is for
anyone who's ever wanted
to know more about how
their brain and mind
works - and what goes
wrong when it doesn't.
From how we evolved such
an impressive organ to
how it achieves the feat
that is you. Including
numerous insights from
leaders in their fields,
with The Rough Guide to
the Brain, there's no
better way to stimulate
your grey matter.

Have you ever tried to
spend a day without
looking at a clock or
checking your watch? It's
almost impossible. Time
rules our lives, but how
much do we understand
about it? And is it
possible to retrain our
brains and improve our
relationship with it?
Drawing on the latest
research from the fields
of psychology,
neuroscience and biology,
and using original
research on the way
memory shapes our
understanding of time,
the acclaimed writer and
broadcaster Claudia
Hammond delves into the
mysteries of time
perception. Along the
way, Claudia introduces
us to an extraordinary
array of characters
willing to go to great
lengths in the interests
of research, such as the
French speleologist
Michel, who spends two
months in an ice cave in
complete darkness. We
meet one group of
volunteers who steer
themselves towards the
edge of a stairwell,
blindfolded, and another
who are strapped into a
harness and dropped off
the edge of tower block.
Time Warped shows us how
to manage our time more
efficiently, speed time
up and slow it down at
will, plan for the
future with more accuracy
and, ultimately, use
the warping of time to
our own advantage.

Details: This title
includes a year's worth
of money-saving,
life-improving tips! This
book is about how you can
live on less, spend
less, and yet be far
richer and happier for
it. That is not to say
that this is a book about
going without, living
the life of an ascetic
monk or never succumbing
to the desire to buy a
Paul Smith shirt or a
plasma TV. In fact, this
book is about how you can
actually have and enjoy
more in your life than
you have today while
dramatically reducing the
financial expenditure it
takes to achieve it. By
spending less you really
can have more. Right now
you may be feeling
weighed down by the
endless expenses and
financial worries that
can dominate our lives.
We enjoy a larger
abundance of material
goods and wealth than we
have ever had before. Yet
worrying about money is
still the single biggest
causes of stress - a
condition that affects
over a million people in
the UK and accounts for 1
in 4 visits to a doctor's
surgery. The good news,
however, is that you can
choose to resist the
imperative to grow richer
and richer, heavier and
heavier, yet
increasingly hassled and
dissatisfied. You do not
have to succumb to the
pressure to forever earn
more, spend more and pay
more for everything. You
can substitute the
clutter of excessive
possessions and expenses
with a new and elegant
simplicity that allows
you to appreciate the
power of less. By taking
on a new attitude to
money and possessions,
you can go from feeling
as if you are leaking
money every time you
leave the house to
feeling immensely
wealthy, from feeling
unsure about whether you
can make ends meet to
having the pleasure of
always having spare money
and savings in the bank.
In some ways this is
calling for only a small
shift in the way you
live, yet it is a small
shift that can have an
enormous impact on your
life. Most of the 365
tips in this book can
help save you the odd
GBP20, GBP50 or GBP200 a
year. Some could help
make you GBP50, 000
richer right away. Others
could serve as a complete
breakthrough in helping
you rethink, reorder or
re-prioritise your life.
Join the spend less
revolution! Ideal for:
People interested in
living a different
lifestyle, wanting to
look at spending habits
in a different way. The
book is in three stages,
the problem, the
solution and the tactics.

How to defeat stress,
worry, and anxiety to
achieve more in business
and life. From the
international bestselling
author of
Self?Confidence. Are You
A Worrier? Do you seem to
worry more than most? Do
you find that
insignificant things
stress you out? Do you
sweat the small stuff and
the big stuff too? Well,
nows the time to
stop worrying and start
living. Worry, stress,
anxiety ? whichever label
you prefer to use ? can
have consequences that
impact not only our
lives, but the lives of
others around us. When we
worry its like the
engine of our mind is
constantly being revved
up. It doesn?t allow us
time to switch off and
rest. It tires you out.
And when you're tired
you're less likely to
think straight. And when
you're not thinking
straight its easy
to make stupid mistakes
and confuse priorities...
But relax. There is a way
forward. In How Not to
Worry Paul McGee shows us
that there is a way to
tackle lifes
challenges in a calmer
and more considered way.
It is possible to use a
certain degree of worry
and anxiety to spur us on
towards positive,
constructive action, and
then leave the rest
behind. With down to
earth, real life advice,
How Not to Worry helps
us understand why
worrying is such a big
deal and the reasons for
it, exposing the
behavioural traps we fall
into when faced with
challenges. It then helps
us to move on with tools
and ideas to deal with
our worries in a more
constructive way.

the methods of cognitive
behavioral therapy. The

better. This positive,

Obliquity is based on a
simple concept: that an
oblique, or indirect,
approach to any problem
or challenge is often
more successful than the
obvious and direct one.
This explains why the
most profitable companies
are not the most
aggressive in chasing
profits, the wealthiest
men and women are not the
most materialistic, and
the happiest people do
not pursue happiness.
Pre-eminent economist and
columnist for the
"Financial Times", John
Kay applies his
provocative theory to
everything from business
to warfare and from
football to managing
forest fires. Very rarely
does a brilliant idea
emerge that is brand new,
immediately makes sense
and genuinely changes the
way we think. With
"Obliquity", John Kay
introduces one of those
rare ideas. "...you will
gain invaluable insights
into how successful

'I was living in a world
where a priest who spoke
the words of God used me
for sex, and there was
no-one to tell. The world
where this horror
happened didn't exist for
anyone else.' As a boy in
Ireland where everyone --
from among his own
neighbours to the powers
of church and state --
chose to deny that a
priest could sexually
assault a child, Colm
O'Gorman felt only shame,
guilt and fear at the
regular rape and abuse he
suffered. But Colm would
go on to make history,
successfully suing the
Roman Catholic Church,
asking questions of the
Pope himself and creating
a watershed in history as
hundreds more victims
found the courage to
report their abuse.
Beyond Belief is a
powerful story of a young
man's shame turning to
outrage, and
demonstrates that --
whatever our past hurts
-- there is hope for the
future if we are prepared
to stand for truth.

table. It's the book to
curl up with before

at the history, culture,
folklore, language and
science of sleep. Did you
know that the siesta was
once a British tradition?
Why do we say 'sleep like

sheep work? What are the
very best sleeps? Who
invented pyjamas? If dogs
sleep so much, why are
they always yawning? What
are the best films about
sleep? Do today's

sleep? Not only is sleep
a great natural pleasure,
it's also essential to
good health. The book
examines how a lack of
sleep is increasingly
seen as a health risk.
Sleep is also the place
of dreams and nightmares.
Why are so many dreams
the same and what are the
archetypal recurring
dreams? What is the
origin of the word
'nightmare'? And what do
Bugs Bunny, the
