In a world dominated by likes and viral content, we can often feel we’ve lost control of our relationship with the digital world. We doom-scroll, hate-follow, and over-share without a moment’s thought of whether technology is serving our interests – or if it’s the other way around. But in a time where our data is being stolen and our sense of self warped, we consistently underestimate our power to shape the relationship we have with technology, and to intentionally adopt behaviours that will help us create better online – and offline – lives.

In Reboot: Reclaiming Your Life in a Tech-Obsessed World, leading psychotherapist and cyber-psychologist Elaine Kasket offers a novel approach to understanding technology’s influence throughout your life, with poignant insights on the challenges it poses to our identity, development, relationships, and privacy from the cradle to the grave.

Written through the unique lens of the author’s experience visiting her husband and playing piano for residents, this heart-warming book provides an honest account of living – and losing – someone with dementia and brings to life the human stories of everyday happenings within a professional care setting.

From the couple who revisited their dancing hay-days with foot-tapping renditions of swing classics, to the care home manager always on hand to offer a calming word and cup of tea, Tapping Feet explores dementia from the unique point of view of the family members involved, while touching on the lighter side of this life-changing condition.

The author’s husband Norman, an acclaimed sportswriter who achieved the rare feat of playing rugby and cricket for Scotland, had dementia during his last eight years. His journey, told through the pages of Tapping Feet, provides a reassuring look at life in a care home and encourages readers to discuss dementia openly, instead of locking it inside the walls of our homes and care facilities.

Super-helpers are better at helping others than they are at looking after themselves. Maybe you’re one of them. Maybe you know someone who is. They are the backbone of the caring professions, giving strength to our schools, clinics, care homes and hospitals. You will also find them in offices, gyms, community groups and charities – everywhere you look — and there’s usually one in every family. 

But in their efforts to help wherever they can, Super-helpers typically overstretch themselves. Some face traumatic and distressing situations. In long-term caring relationships they have no time to care for themselves. In professional care roles, they work prolonged hours with inadequate resources. 

Deep down, beneath all their care for others, there is something that causes helpers to suffer. It lurks unnoticed. It dwells in the psychology of the helper and compels them to help others to the extent that they don’t look after their own needs. This is super-helper syndrome. Until recently this phenomenon has gone unnoticed and unnamed, but now it has been highlighted by two chartered psychologists, Jess Baker and Rod Vincent. 

The Super-Helper Syndrome offers a new perspective on the psychology of helping. It sets out how helping works and why it sometimes goes wrong. It brings to life psychological and neuroscientific research to explain the roots of compassion and empathy. It goes deep into the belief system of helpers and reveals what really motivates them. It illustrates all this with excerpts from a broad spectrum of interviews with paid and unpaid helpers, from ICU nurses to lawyers, volunteers to live-in carers. The book provides activities for the reader to profile and analyse their own helping relationships. It offers support for people who want to adopt a Healthy Helper Mindset, including meeting their own needs, building assertiveness and setting helping boundaries. It guides the reader towards countering the inner critic with mindful self-compassion. It’s only by doing these things that compassionate people can be most effective at helping others.

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the most common types of birth defect, affecting almost 1 in 100 babies born in the UK. With great advances in surgery and medicine, around eight out of ten people with CHD survive to adulthood. Welcome news, but as with any chronic condition, survival does not mean the issue is cured.

Authors of Healing Hearts and Minds, Liza Morton and Tracy Livecchi, are mental health professionals who have developed a specialty in working with clients who have chronic medical conditions, and they are both themselves living with CHD.

Liza and Tracy wrote Healing Hearts and Minds to give others access to the resources and support they have been looking for their entire adult lives. While their powerful personal stories are woven into the narrative, the book is focused on providing evidence-based coping and self-care skills for adults living with CHD.

How to Grieve Like a Champ is written by grief expert Lianna Champ to be comforting and practical.

• Helping children grieve
• Having ‘The Talk’ about death
• Finding out someone you love is dying
• Navigating funeral rituals
• Coping with the death of a child, partner, sibling, colleague or pet

In her new book, When Love Bites, psychotherapist Cathy Press shows young people they are not responsible for the way a partner treats them or for how they feel about themselves as a result of their behaviour. She says without intervening with this message early in life, it is likely that those same people will experience future abusive relationships, all of which will affect their wellbeing – physically, socially and sexually, and potentially impact their emotional and mental health.
