Eat less, lose more: a mantra few of us would disagree with and one we’ve heard countless times in official health advice. And yet doctors treating diabetes and obesity are experiencing extraordinary results among patients by taking a different approach - not by counting calories, but by eating a low-carb, high-fat diet. Setting out the case for this ‘ketogenic’ approach to eating, Gary Taubes analyses the bad science behind the nutritional dogma that has brought us to a diabetes and obesity crisis. 

In 2007, comedian and broadcaster Dermot Whelan arrived into a comedy festival in an ambulance. It was a hell of an entrance. He’d had a panic attack in Mullinavat. It was not pleasant.

Now, after becoming one of the country’s leading corporate stress management experts, Dermot asks the question, 'What do we do when our minds are full?' This audiobook is his no nonsense, incense-free, hilarious guide to calming the f--k down. No ambulance required!

For over two decades, Dr Dilip Jeste has led the search for the biological and cognitive roots of wisdom. What's emerged from his work is that wisdom is a very real and deeply multilayered set of traits. Across many cultures and centuries, he's found that wise people are compassionate and empathetic, aware of their gifts and blind spots, open-minded, resolute and calm amid uncertainty, altruistic decision-makers who learn from their experiences, able to see from many perspectives and 'altitudes' and often blessed with a sense of adventure and humour.

Then there are the qualities cats possess that women long to emulate: fighting fiercely to protect themselves, never saying yes when they mean no, and being unafraid to claim the best seat in the house. Cats are loyal to those who love them but couldn’t give a toss about what others think. They don’t suffer self-esteem issues or worry if they’re overweight. And then there is their air of mystery, that slinky walk...oh to be a cat!  

The number one cause of insomnia lives in your subconscious mind. You toss and turn at night, trying to quiet your thoughts enough to fall asleep.

Until one day she changed the game. If she could manifest mishaps and disasters, why not the things she actually wanted?
