The Covid-19 pandemic changed the way we think about work - we've had the great resignation, the quiet quitters and those determined to always work from home. But not everyone can afford to quit, what happens to those overwhelmed by a work environment that leaves them feeling defeated or maybe just resigned to putting up with it? Judy Klipin draws on years of coaching people through problems in their work environment to offer practical ways to make sure that your work works for you. - Is the physical work environment sapping your energy? - Are the toxic office politics driving you mad? - Is relentless stress pushing you to the point of burnout? - Or is it the work itself that leaves you cold? - Are your values reflected in the work you do? By looking at what is and isn't working for you at work, you can draw up a list of what needs to change. Using the Wheel of Work tool, Judy helps you identify the choices you have in how to respond to the situations you find yourself in at work. You might not be able to chooe IF you stay in a job but you can change HOW you are while you are at work.

Autoimmune conditions are on the rise, with more and more people, young and old, experiencing the frustrating and debilitating symptoms of conditions that seem to be difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat with conventional medicine alone. Trauma and prolonged stress in particular disrupt healthy body-functioning and can trigger or exacerbate autoimmune and other similar conditions. Those affected by chronic fatigue syndrome, Hashimoto's, lupus, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune conditions often feel helpless and disheartened by their fluctuating symptoms and the havoc they wreak on their lives, impacting their work and relationships. Malvina approaches autoimmunity and other trauma-driven conditions holistically to look for their roots in trauma and prolonged stress, and find ways to improve health and restore vitality. She draws on psychological, natural and ancient practices that have been shown to help those affected by autoimmune conditions to reduce their stress load, boost their body's defences and re-establish internal balance. Her book is packed with practical help and options to try, as well as a deep understanding of the frustations of those affected by autoimmune conditions.

For 250 years the author's family spread across the globe, helping to expand the British Empire and paint the map red. This is a personal reckoning with that dubious legacy, echoing down to the present in South Africa. It begins with the 'discovery' of Tahiti in 1767 by an ancestor, from whose log book Rostron reveals that his sailors were exchanging the ship's nails for sex with Tahitian maidens so that HMS Dolphin began, literally, to fall apart. After the Anglo-Boer war, having emigrated to South Africa, one grandfather became editor of the Sunday Times, voicing racist opinions, and later of the Rand Daily Mail, at that time a voice of the Randlords. Ironically, his other grandfather worked for the Communist Party and printed revolutionary pamphlets for the violent 1922 Rand Revolt. In a bizarre twist, Rostron's father managed the 1936 South African boxing team at the Berlin Olympics, where from under his nose their star boxer was recruited by the Nazis. Uncovering family secrets and mistaken myths, Rostron offers a unique insight into modern-day South Africa's colonial past.
