Here’s one thing college doesn’t teach you: Adulting is hard. Studies show that millennials and Gen Z-ers are two of the most anxious generations in history—approximately 50 percent of adults ages eighteen to twenty-four suffer from anxiety. Mindfire takes readers along on the emotional journey that is growing up, and offers insight on the anxiety that comes with it.

What are the moments that make a life? In Francis Crick’s, the decisive moment came in 1951, when he first met James Watson. Their ensuing discovery of the structure of DNA made Crick world-famous. But neither that chance meeting nor that discovery made Crick who he was. As Matthew Cobb shows in Crick, it is another chance encounter, with a line from the writing of Beat poet Michael McClure, that reveals Crick’s character: “THIS IS THE POWERFUL KNOWLEDGE,” it shouted. Crick, having read it, would keep it with him for the rest of his life.

When she was a child, Atash Yaghmaian’s home life was unpredictable: a confusing mix of love and terror. Outside of her home, Iran was also on fire.

Inhabiting this world are 9 people, each different parts of Atash, who would be her salvation from the external horrors of her outer world.

The most important part of the body, especially as we age, is our brain. So why aren’t we taking our brain health as seriously as our heart and achy joints, particularly when people are struggling to focus every day, and dementia and Alzheimer’s cases continue to rise? In The Stimulated Mind, Dr. Tommy Wood, a sports performance coach and neuroscientist specializing in lifelong brain health, dispels the myth that the brain is doomed to decline with age.

Anthropomorphism is the human tendency to attribute human-like thoughts, feelings, and intentions to non-human things. It’s a cognitive bias baked into the human mind that distorts our view of the world. But it doesn’t just affect our understanding of animals. Anthropomorphism impacts our relationship to all living things, as well as inanimate objects (like AI), and natural phenomena (like hurricanes). It’s perhaps one of the most powerful cognitive biases influencing our thoughts, but it’s rarely talked about. It’s time to change that.

Children are eager learners. As anyone who has taken a car trip with a toddler will tell you, they have a seemingly endless urge to ask questions about whatever pops into their heads. And yet, many kids end up bored and alienated at school. What can parents do to sustain their natural curiosity? In The Learning Household, educators Ken Bain and Marsha Marshall Bain argue that parents can do a lot. Too often, however, parents emphasize grades instead of instilling the creativity, grit, and enthusiasm necessary to navigate a rapidly changing world.

Hatred is typically characterized as ugly, destructive and, above all, the political tool and dominant emotion of intransigent right-wingers. But is something important lost in this simplistic depiction? Don’t those engaged in anticolonial, feminist, or class struggles—the very people who, in mainstream narratives, are usually portrayed as victims and objects of hate—have just reasons for feeling hatred?

Sex in midlife can be a bumpy road, especially for women. Our bodies change with age, and those changes can lead to shame, confusion, embarrassment, loss of desire to be intimate, and even the destruction of a relationship. The Bedroom Gap is a roadmap for midlife women, for couples, for clinicians and for anyone who wants to understand the societal, historical, and physiological effects of how we age, sexually speaking.

Differences in libido is a common issue in romantic relationships, often leading to insecurity, conflict and communication breakdown. It can be difficult to find help, as most research on the topic adheres to a narrow, heteronormative model of sexual intimacy — a way of thinking that hinders our ability to enjoy sex to the full. Dr. Fogel Mersy and Dr. Vencill’s Desire rejects this model.

The psychiatric establishment and rehab industry in the Western world have branded addiction a brain disease. But in The Biology of Desire, cognitive neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes a convincing case that addiction is not a disease, and shows why the disease model has become an obstacle to healing. Lewis reveals addiction as an unintended consequence of the brain doing what it's supposed to do—seek pleasure and relief—in a world that's not cooperating.

In this brave, engrossing and vitally important new book, consultant neuropsychiatrist Dr Alastair Santhouse argues that the consequences of the new climate of diagnosis are immense. Drawing on his decades of clinical experience, Dr Santhouse explores our current malaise and proposes a solution—that we pull back from this diagnostic expansion, focus on the effective treatment of a core group of severe mental health problems, and de-medicalise a vast range of other normal human experiences.

Chris Kugler presents a thorough exploration of "personal eschatology," addressing the complex theological and biblical questions about the eternal fate of human beings. While Scripture suggests the possibility of eternal loss, Kugler argues that its most relevant texts are less definitive than commonly thought. Kugler contends that a nuanced picture is called for when one considers how theology uses the Bible to develop doctrine. He presents the problems, possibilities, and prospects of the three major views on personal eschatology: damnationism, annihilationism, and universalism.

“It is solved by walking,” goes the oft-quoted wisdom attributed to Saint Augustine. Lauren Kessler, an unflinching immersion journalist, is not a religious person. But after tragedy shattered the contours of her life, she needed to move—to do something, to be somewhere else. So she set out alone on the famed Camino de Santiago, walking across Spain to create space between the life she’d lived and the life she hadn’t chosen but now inhabited.

ADHD in women is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or entirely overlooked, leaving millions silently fighting an internal, invisible battle. Outwardly, they can be labeled flaky, intense, dramatic, or unreliable, while inwardly they’re juggling severe overwhelm, emotional chaos, chronic stress, catastrophic thinking, and the unshakable feeling of being misunderstood—by everyone. In Invisible ADHD, Shanna Pearson, founder and director of the world’s largest one-on-one ADHD-coaching company, shares what actually works for women in real life.

Rhetoric once sat at the centre of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, Jr. used it to build empires, write deathless literature and inspire democracies. Here, Heinrichs shows us how these persuasive tools, honed over more than three thousand years of use persuading others, can be turned on our most difficult audiences – ourselves. Using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by some of history’s most persuasive characters, we see how rhetoric can convert the gloomiest of situations into positive ones.
