Chasing Lost Times

Geoffrey Beattie is an extremely successful academic and celebrity psychologist. He was perhaps a less successful father. His obsession with his career and his driving passion for running when he was at home almost destroyed his relationship with his son, but, ironically, it is running that has brought them back together.

Chasing Lost Times is the emotional story of a father and son trying to repair a relationship through a shared activity that depends on sheer physical effort, the kind of physical effort that may once have been the source of commonality between father and son in all previous generations but which seems to be absent in the modern world.

Reviews

Visionary . . . beautifully written . . . a compelling read with a feel-good factor

—— Psychologist

Quantum Wellness is one of the most useful books you'll ever read ... It provides a step-by-step guide to bring you to a whole new level of all-round wellness - whether to achieve weight loss, heal from a disease, or if you just want to have more energy and feel better about life

—— Neal Barnard, President, Physicians Committe for Responsible Medicine

If you want to feel more energetic, be more creative, and connect more deeply with others, this book is for you ... smart, engaging, and filled with sound advice

—— Dean Ornish, Founder and President, Preventive Medicine Research Institute, and author , The Spectrum

Clare takes away the old wives' tales, the nonsense and guilt, and makes the whole process work as it is meant to

—— Emma Freud

It is, for me, professionally gratifying to have a book written by someone who brings such a balanced approach to both breast- and bottle-feeding. Too often mothers are given so much differing advice as to what they should, or should not do. This book will help a new mother make her own choice and give her expert advice, which will help her with the successful feeding of her baby

—— Betty Parsons MBE

This has to be one of THE best parenting books I have ever read. It covers toddlers to teenagers, light hearted but yet deadly serious and there really is something for every parent to relate to! It was so addictive and appropriate for me with three girls, that I had recommended it to more than 20 people when I was only a quarter of the way through it! All parents should read it.

—— MumKnowsBest.com

Simple, accessible tools which cover everything from getting your child to clean his teeth to picky eaters and bullying.

—— Mail on Sunday, YOU Magazine

Reading this book is like having a chat with your friends or with other mums at the crèche or the school gate.

—— Mothers and Babies

A no-nonsense guide to running a family – whatever your personality.

—— Easy Living

Heller's family memoir brims with warm reflections right from the opening chapters... An affectionate family scrapbook crafted with a bittersweet blend of humor and pathos

—— Kirkus Reviews

Erica Heller to me is like a Carrie Fisher on the East Coast. She is as authentic as they come

—— Richard Lewis, comedian, actor, author

Erica Heller has a story to tell and I for one am eager to see it in print. I think this is going to be one hell(er) of a memoir

—— Christopher Buckley, author of Losing Mum and Pup

The New York of the period leaps off the page

—— Emma Hagestadt , Independent

Heller's domestic side is evoked with painful detail by his daughter, Erica, in her well written, occasionally harrowing memoir, Yossarian Slept Here

—— Sunday Times

Likeable memoir...just as Daugherty is blind to the limitations of Heller's work so he appears resistant to personal criticism of Heller or rebuke. Just One Catch is no hagiography but, of these two biographical accounts on Yossarian Slept Here gives us the gruff, arrogant big shot; the smug cocky fellow who sometimes showed up to friend's cocktail parties for the sheer fun of insulting them

—— Leo Robson , Financial Times
