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.

The extrovert of interior design and the definition of 'more is more', maximalism is an exuberant celebration of pattern, colour and texture that deliberately clash. Its roots lie in 1930s Hollywood Regency style, Rococo and Neoclassicism, as well as Greek, Egyptian and Asian styles.

With a historical overview of the decor, and illustrated with examples of notable interiors and key elements of lighting, furniture, colour palette, texture and textile, the book offers practical advice on how to recreate the look in your own home.
