Smitten

Rooted in neuroscience, this book offers practical guidance for those experiencing obsessive love and seeking a path to a healthy relationship.
The Empathy Deficit, Why We Understand Algorithms Better Than Each Other
TART OFF The Empathy Deficit: Why We Understand Algorithms Better Than Each Other is a provocative diagnosis of our modern age. Blending neuroscience, political polarization, technology ethics, and social theory, it argues that we have grown more fluent in decoding machine logic than in navigating human emotion. Algorithms soothe us with predictability, while empathy demands vulnerability, patience, and discomfort-qualities we increasingly avoid. From the collapse of dialogue to the commodification of compassion, this book exposes how convenience, tribalism, and digital isolation have hollowed out our capacity to connect. It is both a warning and a call to action: unless we reclaim empathy, we risk losing not only our humanity but the very foundations of democracy and community.

The Apology Budget, What Your Sorry Habit Is Costing You in Money, Power, and Respect
Every "sorry" you utter is more than a word-it's a withdrawal from your account of respect, confidence, and even financial opportunity. The Apology Budget exposes the hidden costs of over-apologizing, blending insights from social psychology, gender studies, communication, and personal finance. With razor-sharp analysis and relatable stories, this book reveals how habitual apologies drain your authority, shrink your earning potential, and reinforce power imbalances in workplaces and relationships. Instead of teaching you to be ruthless, it shows you how to be strategic: when to apologize with impact, when to replace "sorry" with gratitude or clarity, and how to reclaim the respect you've been spending recklessly. Whether you're negotiating a salary, sending an email, or navigating cultural expectations, this book arms you with practical tools to stop apologizing for existing and start communicating with confidence. The Apology Budget is not just a guide-it's a revolution. It challenges the cultural scripts that demand deference, especially from women and marginalized voices, and offers a blueprint for reclaiming money, power, and respect. If you've ever wondered why you feel drained after saying "sorry" too often, this book will show you the hidden ledger-and how to balance it in your favor.

The Identity Upgrade
You don't change by wishing-you change by proving. This book shows how to redesign self-concept using a simple loop: claim, commit, and accumulate persuasive evidence until belief follows behaviour. It replaces motivational fluff with a rigorous, testable method for identity change, grounded in psychology and practice. If you're serious about moving beyond hacks and streaks to earn a credible new self, this is your playbook. - Learn how self concept functions as a prediction model-and how to edit it without self-deception - Turn aspirations into stakes, proofs, and public artefacts that reprogram your self with clarity - Build identity based habits that are hard to fake, easy to repeat, and compounding in credibility - Use behavioural reinforcement without becoming reward-dependent, and make affirmations that work by tying them to evidence - Recraft your story through narrative identity techniques that align desire, action, and social mirrors - Install systems that build self discipline reliably, then scale them with a 30-day identity sprint For thoughtful readers who want precision over platitudes-founders, professionals, makers, and students who care about long arcs-this book offers a pragmatic answer to a perennial question: how do I become the kind of person who does the work? You'll leave with a working model and daily practices that quietly upgrade your identity, one proof at a time.
Attachment in Action
You don't need a new personality to have better relationships-you need a clearer map. This book shows how attachment styles quietly script your texts, meetings, and arguments, and how small, specific choices can shift the pattern. Whether you tend to anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, or disorganised attachment, you'll learn practical moves that create steadier bonds at home and at work. The goal is simple: less spiral, more choice. Why it matters When stress rises, we revert to reflex. That's when overexplaining, silence, or sharp exits take over. Here you'll find brief research snapshots and everyday scripts that translate relationship communication into decisions you can make in ninety seconds. By practising earned routines of repair, readers move gradually toward secure attachment-not as a label, but as a daily verb. Who it's for Partners who keep repeating the same fight.

The Scarcity Trap
If fear of "not enough" keeps grabbing the steering wheel-of your calendar, your wallet, your relationships-this book shows why, and what to do next. Scarcity isn't only about money; it's a brain state that narrows attention, compresses time, and pushes you into short-term, high-cost choices. Blending research with field-tested tools, this guide explains how the scarcity mindset hijacks judgement and how a disciplined abundance mindset can be built without wishful thinking. You'll learn why decision fatigue rises on busy days, how loss aversion inflates small risks, and how cognitive load makes good plans invisible at the worst moments. Each chapter gives you a compact practice-scripts, checklists, and designs-that protect your bandwidth when pressure spikes. Left unchecked, scarcity breeds financial anxiety, relationship insecurity, and stalled careers. The cost is not only in dollars; it's in attention and trust. This book reframes "enough" as a craft: measurable floors and flexible ceilings, buffers that buy time, and rituals that make calm repeatable. For thoughtful readers who want clear language and practical moves-founders, freelancers, partners, and parents-anyone tired of advice that collapses under stress. What You'll Gain - A map to spot and interrupt decision fatigue in real time - A playbook for rewiring the brain toward sufficiency and option-creating choices - Tools to reduce cognitive load at work and at home - A humane method for a durable mindset shift-one that respects limits and expands possibilities Fewer panicked choices. More room to think. And a deliberate path from fear to clarity.
Mind Traps
This is a fast, practical manual for clear thinking when it matters most. Instead of theory-heavy lectures on the mind, it gives you a compact playbook for spotting and fixing cognitive distortions in real time-those quick, patterned thinking errors that feel like safety and end up costing you accuracy, influence, and peace. You'll learn to recognise the ten most expensive traps: all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, emotional reasoning, overgeneralization, mind reading error, the mental filter that deletes wins and magnifies flaws, rigid "shoulds," the control fallacy, global labeling, and premature fortune-telling. Each chapter follows the same, usable spine: the trap, the tell, and the tool. You'll get sentence stems, micro-checklists, and two-minute moves that reduce decision-making bias under pressure-at work, at home, and in the moments when anxiety tries to drive. Short case vignettes make the patterns obvious; evidence-backed exercises make the fixes stick. Whether you lead teams, negotiate, analyse, create, or simply want fewer unforced errors, this book helps you upgrade your default settings. Expect cleaner decisions, steadier relationships, and a calmer inner narrator-without detoxes, hacks, or grand declarations. If you've ever felt your mind sprint ahead of the facts, this is your pocket guide to slowing the jump, widening the lens, and choosing the next intelligent move.
Social Mirrors
You didn't invent your reflection-but you can stop living inside it. This book exposes the quiet machinery by which family, friends, bosses and platforms train you to become their prediction of you. It shows how the brain rehearses social approval until it hardens into identity-and how to break that loop without burning bridges. Drawing on social psychology and lived practice, you'll learn to map the mirrors around you, classify their influence, and decide when to absorb, negotiate or ignore what they show. If you've felt trapped by social identity book labels, stretched thin by people-pleasing and boundaries, or edited by the demands of social media identity, this is a field guide to taking your voice back. Through crisp research, vivid cases and precise exercises, you'll build a durable self-concept and society lens that turns feedback into fuel, not fate. - Spot the subtle pressures of family roles, peer norms and institutional metrics - Install humane boundaries that protect attention and craft - Replace audience capture with clear, values-aligned choices - Practise small, reversible identity experiments that compound into credibility Whether you're a manager navigating reputation risk, a creator resisting brand traps, or a thoughtful reader tired of borrowed faces, this book offers a pragmatic path from echo to voice. It is a sober antidote to noise-and a set of tools to reclaim your identity with calm authority, one deliberate move at a time.
Ancient Light
Awe is not a museum piece; it is a muscle. If modern life has weakened yours, this book rebuilds it with simple tools drawn from the world's oldest laboratories of meaning. Learn how ancient rituals used breath, sound, symbol, and place to steady attention, and how to adapt them at home without dogma or drama. You will explore egyptian spirituality through gentle breath patterns, vedic meditation with safe, non-sectarian sound, and twilight practices inspired by mayan astronomy. Trace patterns in sacred geometry, try hands-on routines from ancient healing arts, and approach rhythm and imagination with a cautious nod to shamanic healing. Each chapter translates insight into action: short scripts, room setups, and review prompts that help you notice what actually works. For readers seeking grounded wonder rather than grand claims, this is a clear path to spiritual humanism. You will design a modest personal praxis, respect sources, and measure change with humane metrics like sleep, patience, and presence. If you want less noise and more cosmic consciousness in ordinary days, start here: small, repeatable rites that rekindle attention and turn a corner of your home into a quiet revolution.
Deep Learning, Deeper Humanity
It begins with a simple yet unsettling question: are these so-called intelligent machines merely built in our own image? The first time you see an algorithm stumble in ways that resemble human error, it prompts a moment of recognition. This is where you realise our systems often reflect the intricacies of human cognition rather than surpass them. This book delves into the heart of emotional ai, showing how attempts to measure and replicate emotion open a deeper conversation about what we truly feel ourselves. By investigating machine creativity, it confronts both our fascination and our fear: if AI can paint or write, does it mean we are no longer unique? Equally pressing is the presence of bias in learning, reminding us that flawed data and assumptions can become amplified in these modern tools. Thankfully, there is also coevolution of humans and ai, suggesting we can shape it as it shapes us. Ideal for readers keen to bridge technology and introspection, this work reveals the philosophy of intelligence at the heart of today's cutting-edge research. It highlights the power of empathy reflection to mend the distance between code and connection. Whether you are intrigued by deep learning, curious about ai psychology, or looking to spark creative computation, you will find fresh perspectives to guide how you collaborate with intelligent systems.

This book shares Nancy's poignant personal journey with Bill as he begins to die, offering us the things he taught her about living in the days of his dying. It attests to the power of love in the face of deep difference.The book is also a gentle declaration that all humans can grow to understand each other. It is a call to us to walk with each other slowly, to listen generously, to be serenely and acutely 'with', so that 'other' bows to 'we'. But it is not a polemic. It is a tale of revelation and wonder, an embrace of things of the spirit and heart and mind, things that require consideration born of respect, and joy born of loss.

The Magical Diaries of Frances Mary Nottingham
These extracts from the diaries of Frances Mary Nottingham (Age 733/4) open a window onto four years of sustained magical work between 2006-2010. They offer a clear, unembellished account of day-to-day practice, written without expectation of publication by a female magician exploring tarot, geomancy, astrology, pathworking the Tree of Life, as well as the conjuration of Elemental, Planetary, Enochian, and Goetic spirits. They show the work as it was done - methodical, grounded, and rooted in the techniques used within many Western esoteric traditions today.Published after her death, the volume includes an introduction by her husband, Gary St Michael Nottingham, who outlines the context of their shared practice, alongside short reflections from those who knew and worked with her.For practitioners seeking real examples rather than theory, these extracts provide a practical window into how sustained magical work unfolds over time - the decisions made, the methods chosen, and the results observed. They stand as a valuable working document for anyone interested in the lived craft of ritual magic, especially those who value primary sources and the often under-represented voices of women in the occult.Frances Mary Nottingham was a British magical practitioner whose work drew on astrology, Kabbalah, and the ceremonial traditions of the Western Esoteric current. Trained in classical astrology and influenced by figures such as William Lilly, she combined meticulous study with regular practical work. She worked closely with her husband, Gary St Michael Nottingham, participating in ritual, pathworking, and spirit conjuration within their shared temple space. A skilled watercolourist as well as a committed student of the Arte, she continued her practice until the onset of the illness that led to her death in 2024. Her diaries stand as a clear record of her working methods and interests.
From Animal Souls to Human Spirits
Few books have described the precise moment when an animal soul transitions into a human spirit.This work, however, explores the occult details of that transformation - not only as it unfolds on Earth, both during physical life and in the afterlife, but also across other planets. The creation of an animal soul follows a defined path, and its transition between species obeys specific mechanisms - explored in detail within these pages.How can one recognise such a transition? What hinders their progress, and what hastens it?This book also explains the destiny of animals that do not evolve to become human, those that will never incarnate in the physical world, and the spiritual forms of life that exist in other regions of the universe.As it traces the spiritual timeline of various animal species, a dedicated chapter is devoted to the dinosaurs, explaining why they existed, the nature of their spiritual bodies, and where those souls reside today.

Where darkness once revealed illusion, Albedo refines perception itself, bringing the mind toward coherence, precision, and quiet illumination.This is not a book of beliefs, rituals, or spiritual performance. It is a disciplined exploration of how experience is constructed - and how suffering persists when those constructions are misunderstood. Drawing on Buddhist psychology, symbolic alchemy, and direct contemplative inquiry, Albedo examines the subtle mechanisms that govern consciousness, karma, and identity.Structured across four movements - Mythos, Dharma, Object, and Subject - the book guides the reader through increasingly refined layers of understanding. Mythos maps the symbolic architecture of mind and cosmos; Dharma clarifies the mechanics of conditioned reality; Object investigates the processes of liberation and realisation; Subject turns inward, examining the dismantling of the residual sense of self.Unlike spiritual literature that promises transcendence through attainment, Albedo insists on restraint. Insight arises not through accumulation, but through purification - the gentle removal of distortions that obscure what is already present. Ethical clarity, meditative precision, and disciplined seeing form the backbone of this work.Equal parts philosophical manual and lived inquiry, Albedo is written for readers who have already questioned the surface of reality and now seek to understand its deeper mechanics. It is a companion for those who have endured disillusionment and are ready for something quieter, more exacting, and more honest.This is the whitening of the stone - not an ending, but a preparation for deeper transformation still to come.
Cognitive Fitness
We live in the most cognitively assisted age in history. Answers arrive instantly. Decisions are automated. Effort is quietly removed from daily life.And yet many people feel more mentally fragile than ever.Cognitive Fitness challenges the comforting assumption that ease equals progress.Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and decades of leadership experience inside high-pressure global organisations, Dr Mark Powell introduces a powerful idea. The human mind, like the human body, is shaped by demand. When thinking is removed, mental capacity does not stay neutral. It adapts downward.This book is not anti-technology. It is about understanding what modern systems are training in us, often without our consent.Rather than offering motivation, hacks, or productivity tricks, Cognitive Fitness reframes how thinking actually works. Insight alone does not create strength. Awareness does not build endurance. Capacity is developed only when the mind is required to engage, decide, remember, and judge under real conditions.Inside the book, readers will explore: - Why memory feels weaker even in highly capable people- How convenience reshapes attention, judgement, and resilience- The difference between efficiency and capability, and why confusing the two creates fragility- Why willpower fails in environments designed to remove thinking- How to design conditions that rebuild mental strength without burnoutWritten in a calm, precise, and accessible style, Cognitive Fitness avoids alarmism and nostalgia. It does not argue for retreat from modern tools. Instead, it equips readers with the understanding needed to remain mentally capable within systems that increasingly think on their behalf.This is a book for leaders, professionals, students, and anyone who senses that something important is being lost quietly, not through collapse, but through comfort.Cognitive Fitness is not about becoming smarter.It is about remaining mentally strong in a world that no longer requires it by default.

All thanks to your cat sitting by your side, spreading the stardust.So if you're struggling to find your special partner (or at least a not-too-bad one) and feel rather lost in the muddle of modern dating, let your cat be your wingman, guiding you with subtle tips and tricks to secure a lovely outcome for you.

It's time to learn how to turn down the volume.
