The first sleep book by a leading scientific expert - Professor Matthew Walker, Director of UC Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab - reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to change our lives for the better. Walker explains how we can employ sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels; regulate hormones; prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes; slow the effects of aging; increase longevity; and enhance the education and lifespan of our children. INSIDE-OUT: THE PRACTICE OF RESILIENCE BY DR. SVEN HANSEN, 2015. Inside-Out was written to counter fear. By enquiring deeply into who you are and how you function, you can discover much better ways to live. This is the practice of resilience – learning to be calm, energized, engaged, focused and in flow. We can all learn to be more resilient. Each of the practices described in the book are soundly based on evidence and deliver results. Some steps such as sorting out sleep, nutrition and exercise are easier to understand and harder to perfect. Dr Sven Hansen is the founder of The Resilience Institute. He is a medical practitioner with a background in Special Forces and sports medicine. MINDSET: CHANGING THE WAY YOU THINK TO FULFIL YOUR POTENTIAL BY CAROL S. DWECK, 2017. In this book Carol Dweck explains why it’s not just our abilities and talent that bring us success - but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. With the right mindset, we can motivate our children and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals-personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area. THE STRENGTH SWITCH: HOW THE NEW SCIENCE OF STRENGTH-BASED PARENTING HELPS YOUR CHILD AND YOUR TEEN TO FLOURISH BY DR. LEA WATERS, 2017. By showing us how to throw the “strength switch,” Dr. Lea Waters demonstrates how we can not only help our children build resilience, optimism, and achievement but we can also help inoculate them against today’s pandemic of depression and anxiety. With many suggestions for specific ways to interact with children, Waters demonstrates how to discover the strengths and talents that they have, how to use positive emotions as a resource, how to build strong brains, and even how to deal with problem behaviours and talk about difficult situations and emotions. THE BAREFOOT INVESTOR: THE ONLY MONEY GUIDE YOU’LL EVER NEED BY SCOTT PAPE, 2017. Scott Pape will show you how to create an entire financial plan that is so simple you can sketch it on the back of a serviette … and you’ll be able to manage your money in 10 minutes a week. This book is full of stories from everyday Aussies — single people, young families, empty nesters, retirees — who have applied the simple steps in this book and achieved amazing, life-changing results. 16
