Author:Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer

Self-Esteem for Girls is an essential guide for helping parents and teachers support girls through the difficulties of growing up. Self-esteem is what every parent wishes their daughter to have. It is her passport to a happier, more fulfilled life. The quiet confidence that self-respect gives to girls ensures that they learn to learn, play, love and communicate better. This practical book explains when difficult stages are likely to occur in girls' lives, and suggests how parents and teachers can handle them in ways that will build confidence and promote self-esteem. Elizabeth Harley-Brewer shows how to:

- Understand the challenges and opportunities that girls face today

- Help girls develop the inner strength to cope with the demands of school, friends and society

- Manage girls' behaviour in a way that preserves and promotes their self-esteem

- Respond sensitively when girls suffer setbacks

Gabor Mate takes us on an epic journey of discovery about how our emotional well-being, and our social connectivity (in short: how we live), is intimately intertwined with health, disease and addictions ... This riveting and beautifully written tale has profound implications for all of our lives, including the practice of medicine and mental health

An astonishing achievement, epic in scope and yet profoundly down-to-earth and practical. I will read this book again and again

Brilliant, compelling and groundbreaking. Gabor Maté offers us a way to bring clear seeing and a greatness of heart to the crisis of our times

A book in which readers can seek refuge and solace during moments of profound personal and social crisis

Gabor Maté's connections - between the intensely personal and the global, the spiritual and the medical, the psychological and the political - are bold, wise and deeply moral. He is a healer to be cherished

A compelling book that will challenge your views and help lift the veil of illusion to what is truly happening in your mind and in your body

—— Rebecca Solnit, author of Men Explaining Everything To Me

Because marriage doesn't always bring out the best in us, it makes us wonder what the best in us might be. It is part of the extraordinary wit and wisdom of Baum's remarkable book to show us what kind of romance, and experiment in living, we have wanted marriage to be

—— Adam Phillips

Everything you thought you knew about conjugal beds, secrets, feuds, confessions, triangulations and solaces will be pleasurably complicated by Devorah Baum's wryly insightful tell - all regarding the infinite perversity of marriage - including her own, mine, and probably yours

—— Laura Kipnis

On Marriage is a hugely thought-provoking, witty, warm tour around every significant writer and thinker on love to have emerged since Adam and Eve. Baum is a charming guide to the wisdom of her inspiring judiciously curated cohort

—— Alain de Botton

Baum looks at marriage from multiple angles, legal and political, social and narrative, its interminability and its dailiness . . . it can be funny or tragic or both. Baum’s methodology is to look at what is missing – a philosophy of marriage, a clear idea of what this dominant structure is and how it influences lives. Lovely
