We all daydream. We've all experienced that moment when we suddenly realise that instead of paying attention in a meeting or reading a book, our mind has wandered. In that moment, our conscious mind has detached from the current task at hand and has drifted elsewhere. But what if we could harness that power to increase creativity and focus our thoughts?

Our attention is a powerful lens which allows us to pick out and filter relevant details from the vast amounts of information our brains receive - so how does our brain decide where to go when it wanders, and why does it focus on one thing over another? How important is daydreaming and why do we do it?

Traditionally daydreaming was considered to be a single state of mind. However, recent research has shown that not only are there different states of daydreaming, but these states are actually governed by different neurological pathways, meaning not all mind-wandering is the same!

Here, Arnaud Delorme PhD examines the science and theory behind why we daydream, examining its potential purpose. He shows you how to tame your 'monkey mind' and offers easy techniques that will enable you to develop the skill of mind wandering to improve your mood and foster greater creativity.

"Dr. Arnaud Delorme delves deep into the mysteries of daydreaming in his latest book. Unveiling the diverse neurological pathways of mind wandering, he offers a compelling exploration of how our thoughts are formed and how they shape our perception of the world, integrating scientific rigor with the wisdom of ancient meditation practices."
- Deepak Chopra, founder of the Chopra Foundation and Chopra Global, clinical professor at the University of California, Honorary Fellow in Medicine at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, and author of over 90 books, including numerous New York Times bestsellers.

"We all daydream. You are likely doing it right now as you read this endorsement, but Delorme is on a mission to show the world that far from being a waste of time, mind-wandering can become the very best use of your time. If you have ever been curious about how your mind works, and how to make your thoughts work for you rather than against you, this book is seminal - destined to become a science meets spirit classic read."
- Theresa Cheung, Sunday Times Top-10 bestselling dreams and spiritual author, host of White Shores podcast.

"Dr. Arnaud Delorme's book deconstructs the ubiquitous phenomenon of mind wandering and even explores the fundamental nature of thoughts themselves. It is essential to us all - for the management of everyday living and overall well-being. The book's synthesis of science and practical exercises is nothing short of profound."
­- Mark Gober, award-winning author of An End to Upside Down Thinking and board member at the Institute of Noetic Sciences

"Delorme skilfully merges what is known about mind-wandering from cognitive psychology and the neurosciences, but this book is not just a dry scientific treatise . . . Highly recommended for those seeking to tame, or at least to understand, the ever-wandering mind."
- Dean Radin PhD, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of Real Magic and other books

"Join Dr. Arnaud Delorme on a fascinating journey into the human mind. His book not only uncovers the complex science behind daydreaming but also harmonizes it with timeless meditation teachings. This rare blend provides profound insights into taming and harnessing our thoughts to reshape our reality."
- Thomas Brothy, Ph.D., president of California Institute for Human Science and author

"With the perspective and tools that this book provides, readers will be equipped to both effectively manage their mind wandering and to discover for themselves the potential unique ways in which they flow down the stream of consciousness."
- Jonathan Schooler, PhD, Distinguished Professor UC Santa Barbara

"A groundbreaking work! Dr. Delorme skilfully guides us through the labyrinth of our own minds. His practical techniques for harnessing your mind are invaluable for anyone looking to enhance focus, mood, and creativity. This book is a rare blend of scientific depth and accessible wisdom."
- Prof. Steven Laureys, neurologist, keynote speaker and author of The No-Nonsense Meditation Book

"In this engaging and highly accessible book, Delorme offers a refreshingly balanced approach to competing theories about why our minds wander, even when we try valiantly to focus our attention. While the book is a feast for our intellect, the dessert comes when Delorme offers simple practices to help us think clearly and effectively. At a time when we are living with weapons of mass distraction that can easily throw us off course, Delorme gives us effective tools to find clarity and focus."
- Marilyn Schlitz, Ph.D., author of Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation in Everyday Life

We've all had 'that' feeling: when our mood suddenly changes or we sense an 'atmosphere' on entering a room. There is a distinct quality that connects these experiences – it's a shift in how we sense a person or a place, often referred to as a 'vibe'. Vibes matter because they have the power to change the way we feel and behave.

Garret Yount PhD has been researching the science of 'energy vibes' for over 20 years. In Why Vibes Matter he explains what can lead us to experience a 'vibe' or a shift in energy and how to harness their power.

Looking at where vibes come from and how they affect us Garret reviews the research and explains the science behind our reactions. Practical tools and techniques will help you attune to your own vibes and learn how to influence them in the wisest possible way.

To follow your Tao is to live in accordance with your own meaning, values and energy: to discover your true self, nurture your growth and enjoy a harmonious and healthy life.

Drawing from the disciplines of Chinese Medicine, qigong, Five Element theory and Buddhism, Stephanie Nosco explains how your body's energy (or qi) can help you reconnect with your natural energetic flow.

Each chapter is devoted to one of the five major yin organs - the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys and lungs - showing you how to identify when they are out of balance and giving you ways to rebalance them. Along with the organ's associations and attributes, there are descriptions of their physical, emotional and spiritual properties and functions. Each chapter ends with 'soul work' exercises to help counteract anything that is holding you back, whether that is anxiety, anger, inconsistency, pain, fear or the inability to let go.

With these thoughtful practices, you will learn to trust your inner compass, have the motivation to realise your dreams, live with intention and courage and achieve deeper self-knowledge.

Revealing a world of secret messages contained within a single petal.

Floriography – the language of flowers – is the ancient art of encoding hidden messages in the type, colour and arrangement of plants, allowing individuals to express emotions and sentiments that they may not be able to articulate through words.

Featuring 100 of the most popular and available blooms from around the world, this beautifully illustrated gift book gives the botanical name for each plant, a description of its significance and place in folklore, and the story behind its meaning. It also reveals how floral symbolism has been used over the centuries in literature and art, from Hamlet's Ophelia handing out rosemary 'for remembrance' and pansies 'for thoughts', to Oscar Wilde urging his friends to wear green carnations as a subtle code for homosexuality. The idea that flowers have secret meanings would have been well understood by contemporary audiences – and we are seeing a revival of the practice today.

From mimosa – which signifies chastity because its leaves close when touched – to the varied messages encoded within different colours of geraniums, Floriography offers a creative way to convey feelings and can add an extra layer of beauty and significance to a gift of flowers.

The flowers in Kate Middleton's wedding bouquet signified love, happiness, gallantry and fidelity.

If someone sends you a bouquet of hydrangea and lobelia, beware: they stand for heartlessness and malevolence.

A picture book edition of a much-loved classic, with illustrations by award-winning artist, Robert Ingpen.

When the Mole leaves his spring-cleaning and heads up into the open air, he embarks on a series of exhilarating adventures with his new friends: the laid-back Ratty, the gruff yet kindly Badger and the self-satisfied, irrepressible Mr. Toad. The impulsive Toad leads the friends from one escapade to the next - from upturned gypsy caravans to stolen motorcars, a daring prison escape and, finally, to a heroic confrontation with the sinister inhabitants of the Wild Wood.

The Crystal Magic Tarot deck and guidebook expands the use of tarot beyond self-awareness and future predictions into the world of manifesting and intention-setting.

This tarot 78-card tarot deck isn't created to help explain your fate but to control it. Explore, clarify and take hold of your destiny and manifest what you want to happen in your life. The combination of tarot (intentions and insights) and crystals (energy and power) is potent -- and hitherto relatively unexplored.

Each card is beautifully illustrated and will be linked to a crystal which either amplifies or protects you from its energy. The good news is that readers don't need to have 78 crystals, as all crystal energies are broadly colour-coded, so as long as they have roughly 12 differently coloured crystals, you can still play along! And if you don't, the pack will explain how you can pick up 'wild stones' in all different colours, and how you charge them up like crystals.

This dynamic, potent deck will empower you to navigate the universe, take charge of your life and manifest your ideal future. What are you waiting for?

'Haute couture is like an orchestra, whose conductor is Balenciaga. We other couturiers are the musicians and we follow the direction he gives' - Christian Dior

The godfather of conceptual design, a master of shape, a true fashion game changer – all are accolades bestowed upon one of the most interesting, venerated and iconic couturiers of the twentieth century: Cristóbal Balenciaga.

Through stunning images and captivating text, Little Book of Balenciaga depicts the work and life of Balenciaga the couturier.

The Color of Fashion delves into the significance of color in dress and explores how the symbolism has shifted over time. Think of how black transitioned from a color of mourning to the ultimate in elegance, how millennial pink has defined the Instagram generation, and beige, once a sophisticated favorite of Chanel, now reflects the normcore subculture.

The Holocaust explores the background to this most barbaric of crimes and contains several reproductions of moving and important documents, including a child's drawing from the Warsaw Ghetto, the plans of the Theresienstadt concentration camp, and the Wannsee Protocol, the blueprint for the Holocaust itself.

There are 15 documents reproduced on the page, including:
Letter describing Kristallnacht and a diary extract about life in the ghetto

For over five centuries, the Roman Empire ruled much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. It produced some of history's greatest orators and statesmen, as well as some of its most debauched and corrupt tyrants. Shaping world affairs, the Roman Empire advanced economics, trade, archaeology and culture, but did so through conquest, bloodshed and enslavement of its enemies. This was the Roman way: vae victis, or, 'woe to the conquered'.

In this thrilling new book, acclaimed historian Jacob F. Field tells the entire story of Imperial Rome, from its initial expansion across mainland Italy to its monumental collapse. Beginning with Julius Caesar first laying the foundations for the Empire right up to the collapse of Rome's power, follow the journey of the Empire's rise to unprecedented heights, and learn what caused it to eventually fall. This book tells the stories of the greatest triumphs and most catastrophic disasters, the battles that defined history, what it was like to live under the Romans. And it will explore the men who wielded ultimate power and who moulded Rome into one of the world's greatest powers: the infamous emperors.

I could've died a thousand times. People were out to get me, as they always are when you run the show.

It's kind of silly that it's cancer that's going to get me, but now I know the end's not going to come from a sudden bullet to the skull one night, at least I have enough time to tell my story.

It's a story that would have had me locked up long ago, if anyone knew I was at the top.

It all started innocently enough, with a few smash-and-grabs and some card games, but then moved into armed robbery and then eventually drugs. And that's when things changed. When the money came rolling in. When we would do anything to hold onto power.

This is my last confession. A way to atone for what I've done. Let it be a lesson to you.

"My Goodness, My Guinness."
Iconic advertising slogan, 1935

In the early 20th century, Guinness was marketed as a health tonic. Doctors recommended it to blood donors and even to pregnant women, thanks to its iron content.

While it's true that Guinness contains a small amount of iron (about 0.3 mg per pint), you'd need to drink dozens of pints a day to hit your recommended daily intake!
