Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Road School is the story of their family's adventures around Europe and across China, and what they learned along the way. Part comedy travelogue, part parenting guide, part educational philosophy, Road School asks you to consider what 'an education' really means and offers tips for anyone planning their own learning adventure. As a parent in the UK, you must make sure that your child has a full time education, once they are of compulsory school age. However, this education does not have to take place in a school. A growing number of parents are finding that home educating, or 'unschooling', either permanently or on a short term basis, is a viable and attractive option. The national curriculum, benchmark tests and exams serve to reinforce the idea that there is a specific set of knowledge which equates to 'an education'. However, when you are home educating, it is entirely up to you what and how you wish to teach your children. Or, rather, what and how you wish your children to learn. You might choose to include part or everything that is in the national curriculum, or you might not. Sue's family found that one of the best things about Road School was the freedom to follow their interests. Sue offers plenty of advice based on the lessons her family learned on their Road School adventure, such as: Take into account how learning can happen simply by visiting a place and exploring it. Don't feel that you always have to formalise your visit by turning it into a 'lesson'. The experience of going somewhere can be memorable and educational in its own right. Much of what your children will learn on the road is social and emotional rather than intellectual. They learn how to cope, how to adapt, how to be resilient and how to be brave. The challenges and difficulties that you face on the road will teach them all these things without any direct 'teaching' needed at all. Involve your children in making decisions about the content of their curriculum, particularly when it comes to choosing topics or themes. What would they most like to study during your learning journey together? You can teach subjects such as English or history through cross-curricular 'themes' rather than as discrete lessons. Ask your children to decide which topics interest them the most and capitalise on those. One of the great things about educating your child yourself is that you get to learn alongside them. Not only do you provide a model of lifelong learning, but it's also very liberating to learn new things as an adult. Remember that teaching is not the same thing as learning. You don't have to teach your children directly for a set number of hours each day in order to educate them. Learning can take place all the time, and anywhere, rather than just during 'school' hours. It doesn't matter what time of the day or day of the week it is if there is learning happening, then your child is being educated. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Using the amazingly effective tools of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Mindworks shows you how to unlock the resources, abilities and creativity that you already have in order to accomplish whatever you want to do and take control of your life. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a group of psychological techniques developed in the early 1970s, has been a huge influence on today's motivational writers. As its name suggests, NLP is based on the idea that the human mind is a sort of computer; our verbal and body languages are the programming that allows us to change our thoughts and to influence other people. Anne Linden, The First Lady of NLP, was a witness and participant in the creation of NLP. She was a member of the very first certification training group, the founders of NLP John Grinder and Richard Bandler offered. Previously available in hardback (ISBN 0836221680), Mindworks shows you how to change your mind, reprogram your thoughts, gain control of your fears and fulfil your desires and potential and is still one of the best introductions to NLP available. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Significance Delusion explains why humans are so peculiarly vulnerable to mental disorders and social problems, and how understanding the backstory can help you learn the real value of life Today we have everything that previous generations could ever have dreamed of. So why is it that so many people continue to go through life unhappy and unfulfilled, with millions more young people now facing mental health issues? Does it have something to do with the way our brains have developed? Could it be that humans are just essentially delusional? Now a compelling and insightful new book, The Significance Delusion, draws upon scientific research, ideas, facts and real-life anecdotes to explore the human obsession with meaning. It takes readers on a journey through time, history and the mysterious labyrinth that is the brain, to explore what it really takes for us (and our children) to thrive and survive as individuals and as a society, and even learn the meaning of life. The author, Gillian Bridge, is a psycholinguistic consultant and expert in empowering people to get the most from their brain, whatever the challenge. The common link in her previous work as a teacher, a lecturer, an addiction therapist, an executive coach and a resilience consultant has been the way brain development and the use of language affect any individual's behaviour and communication. By understanding brain function and how it makes us behave the way we do, Gillian's work enables all people, whether they clearly need help or not, to gain better control of their lives. There are three interweaving strands throughout The Significance Delusion: brain matters, child-rearing matters and self-versus-community matters. By exploring these matters in a challenging, quirky and often humorous way, the book will not only help you answer some age-old questions about yourself (Who am I? What am I? How am I?), but also understand how to better promote the future mental and physical well-being of our children, for the benefit of them individually and society as a whole. The Significance Delusion provides practical behavioural strategies to improve quality of life, making it a fascinating and invaluable book for parents, teachers, people working in social care, policy makers and anybody else who simply wants to understand themselves, or their relationships better.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A comprehensive, straightforward and easy-to-read case study of past-life regression therapy, with full explanatory clinical notes.

It is one of those rare books which successfully appeal on many levels, first as a textbook by a world-renowned authority, and second as an introduction for those wishing to know more about spiritualism, life after death, seances, mediums, clairvoyance, and other psychic phenomena. And last but not least as an enthralling story that deserves to be made into a film!" - Charles Barr PhD. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Fine. In The VESPA Mindset Workbook: 40 activities for FE students that transform commitment, motivation and productivity, Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin share a collection of practical activities designed to boost college students' positivity, resilience and organisation. Success at college is a result of character, not intelligence. Successful students approach their studies with the right behaviours, skills and attitudes: they understand how to learn and revise effectively, they're determined and organised, they give more discretionary effort and they get top results. The VESPA Mindset Workbook offers students a structured way to work through 40 activities designed to help them develop the five key traits and behaviours crucial to academic success: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude (VESPA). Each activity has been prepared with a student audience in mind, takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete, and allows space for students to record and reflect on their answers and to structure their thinking. Furthermore, the activities have been categorised thematically under the VESPA umbrella and offer supplementary advice for improvement and self-development based on the authors' experience of working with post-16 students. Rooted in theory and tried and tested in practice, this essential workbook will enable students to break through barriers, build resilience, better manage their workload and release their potential. Sold in packs of 25, the workbook sets are ideally suited for college tutors who want their students to benefit from the VESPA mindset.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this revised edition of Creative Intelligence and Self-Liberation: Korzybski, Non-Aristotelian Thinking and Enlightenment Ted Falconar has written a comprehensive new introduction and provided additional work on enlightenment and visualisation throughout the book. Albert Einstein thought in an entirely different way from ordinary people, and theorist Alfred Korzybski wanted to know why. Studying Einstein`s unique thought processes in his book Science and Sanity, he explained how genius works, and named this process Non-Aristotelian Thinking. Creative Intelligence extends Korzybski`s concept by weaving together the Eastern philosophies of Realization and Liberation. Falconar teaches us to 'unlearn' the rigid patterns of thought that we are indoctrinated with - and to escape the confines of memory, association and, most importantly, words. Children live in a colour and sense world until words replace their senses. Then joy ends and the colours fade into a black and white world of words. This book teaches how to regain our senses and return to that original world. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. How great would it be to learn from other people's mistakes rather than having to make our own? In WTF Just Happened? Martin Goodyer presents a hilarious compilation of catastrophes to help readers do just this. Drawing on his experience as a psychologist and taking the perspective of a behavioural change coach, Martin offers insights into people's often irrational behaviour and suggests ways to avoid such behaviour ourselves. Reading this book won't stop bad things from happening but it can prevent you from making it worse if they do. This is not a self-help book. The self-help bit is up to you. Here's why: self-help books are OK, but many are not great. They normally tell you to do this or that and then you'll be fine but real life isn't usually that simple and good advice is only useful if you can remember to use it. Stories, on the other hand, stick with you, and these cautionary tales could help you avoid your own WTF moments. Your empathy for these unfortunate characters might just help you to see things differently and respond in a more positive way the next time life throws something unexpected at you. We all have WTF moments but, unfortunately, few of us respond well. We say and do things that we regret, and in hindsight we know we could have reacted so much better. This collection of cringeworthy stories explains why this happens and offers practical advice to prevent it happening to you. Topics covered include: how to avoid missing the point; how to avoid being embarrassed by being overheard; how to avoid being 'good' but not great; how to avoid getting fired; how to avoid unpleasant romantic 'surprises'; how to avoid your darling children turning into teenage monsters; how to avoid letting yourself go; how to avoid tying the knot with the wrong person; how to avoid losing your way, and be successful despite the odds; how to avoid crushing debt; how to avoid losing your confidence and self-esteem; how to avoid letting life pass you by; how to avoid misinterpretations, mistakes and misunderstandings; how to avoid getting taken for a ride; how to avoid getting dumped all the time; how to avoid losing out at work; how to avoid getting fat; how to avoid losing when you should have won; how to avoid dealing with a bad situation badly; how to avoid getting scammed; how to avoid 'losing it' during a panic; how to avoid being too late; how to avoid losing your friends; how to avoid putting up with unhappiness; how to avoid saying 'what if' and 'if only'; how to avoid leaving your best behind; how to avoid buying into the wrong thing; how to avoid missing an open door; how to avoid being steamrollered by circumstance; how to avoid missing out; how to avoid wishing you hadn't given up; and finally how to avoid being a loser. An ideal book for anyone interested in human behaviour, personal development or avoiding mistakes by learning from others'. If you only buy one book to help you handle life's challenges, then make it this one. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Help! I'm Married Alive!" Julia Stephenson, struggling to cope with life as a Surrey housewife, grimly welded to her electric floor polisher and fed up with her golf-addicted, BMW-driving husband, bolts to the fleshpots of London. Here she forges a new life as a single girl about town in her Chelsea eyrie, a short walk from Peter Jones. Bemused to find herself an 'It-girl', life soon becomes a ritzy blur of parties, popping corks and flashbulbs, while handsome aristocratic boyfriends come and go. Realising she isn't cut out for this she reinvents herself as a femme serieuse, representing the Green Party at the general election and begins to convert her flat into the first carbon-neutral dwelling in Sloane Square. Giving up her usual dating fodder of Old Etonians and bankers she embarks on a tempestuous love affair with her builder. Who wants to be driven around in a Porsche when you can be ferried about in a spacious white van that runs on waste cooking oil? Life is so much better in every way when you let go of the glitz.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. If you feel a bit cross at the presumption of some oik daring to suggest everything you know about education might be wrong, please take it with a pinch of salt. What if everything you knew about education was wrong? is just a title. Of course, you probably think a great many things that aren't wrong. The aim of the book is to help you 'murder your darlings'. David Didau will question your most deeply held assumptions about teaching and learning, expose them to the fiery eye of reason and see if they can still walk in a straight line after the experience. It seems reasonable to suggest that only if a theory or approach can withstand the fiercest scrutiny should it be encouraged in classrooms. David makes no apologies for this; why wouldn't you be sceptical of what you're told and what you think you know? As educated professionals, we ought to strive to assemble a more accurate, informed or at least considered understanding of the world around us. Here, David shares with you some tools to help you question your assumptions and assist you in picking through what you believe.He will stew findings from the shiny white laboratories of cognitive psychology, stir in a generous dash of classroom research and serve up a side order of experience and observation. Whether you spit it out or lap it up matters not. If you come out the other end having vigorously and violently disagreed with him, you'll at least have had to think hard about what you believe. The book draws on research from the field of cognitive science to expertly analyse some of the unexamined meta-beliefs in education. In Part 1; 'Why we're wrong', David dismantles what we think we know; examining cognitive traps and biases, assumptions, gut feelings and the problem of evidence. Part 2 delves deeper - 'Through the threshold' - looking at progress, liminality and threshold concepts, the science of learning, and the difference between novices and experts. In Part 3, David asks us the question 'What could we do differently?' and offers some considered insights into spacing and interleaving, the testing effect, the generation effect, reducing feedback and why difficult is desirable. While Part 4 challenges us to consider 'What else might we be getting wrong?'; cogitating formative assessment, lesson observation, grit and growth, differentiation, praise, motivation and creativity.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. After the phenomenal success of the first edition which sold out within a year, this book has now been completely revised and expanded to reflect the latest advances made in this ground-breaking field. This second edition has nearly a third more content than the original work, and much of this, as with the original, is concerned with beliefs. Nearly all change work, be it in counselling, psychotherapy or change in a business setting, involves changing beliefs in some way or another. This book sets out to explain, in easily understandable terms, what beliefs are, how they are formulated in our mind, the impact they have on our identity, and, most important of all, how they can be changed successfully. The book also provides many worked examples to demonstrate the strategies involved as an aid to learning. Highly recommended. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This 2 CD set contains everything that patients need to accompany the surgery they are undertaking. Forty years of research has shown that patients who are psychologically prepared for surgery have improved outcomes. Hypnosis, when used in addition to anaesthesia, can decrease anxiety and pain and hasten healing. Hypnotically prepared patients have shorter hospital stays, have less post-operative pain and nausea, use fewer pain medications, suffer less anxiety and blood loss than patients who receive routine care.The techniques used combine imagination with building belief and expectation to create a safe, gentle and effective way to reduce stress and relieve pain. They allow the patient to tap into their own inner resources so that they are in the best frame of mind for surgery. This results in less pre-operative anxiety, less post-operative discomfort and faster healing. This set contains two CDs, one to play pre-surgery to reduce stress and anxiety and to sow the seeds of rapid recovery, and one to play post surgery to further promote healing and recovery. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this new volume, the author provides more depth and also elaborates on the concepts that comprise hypnotic language. The core idea presented is that a person's level of cognitive awareness significantly determines his functioning ability in life. In Hypnotic language, Burton shows therapists how to expand the client's cognitive awareness, specifically, the cognitive and perceptual processes involved in meaning making. In doing so, the therapist is more able to identify the specific awareness limitations of the client and identify the specific cognitive perceptual ingredients that make up the client's problem. Drawing on this insight, the hypnotherapist can then construct hypnotic language patterns that go right to the client's issues, invoking positive change. Numerous case examples are presented that include client assessments and dynamics, selecting and constructing hypnotic language patterns and applying the language patterns in therapy. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
