The Emotional Overdraft
Is it possible to run a successful business without sacrificing your mental and physical health? Most business owners and leaders have a habit of overcoming their company's challenges at the expense of their own wellbeing. They work long hours, try to do too many things, and struggle to reconcile the excitement of the early days with the stress and exhaustion they feel now. Their businesses may be profitable, but those profits have come at a high personal cost. In other words, they've run up an emotional overdraft. If this is you, you can be sure that not only is this damaging for your health, it's also masking some of the issues that need to be resolved in your business. Because reducing your emotional overdraft is as much of a lifesaver for your company as it is for you. While it's common to feel this way, it's not inevitable. This book explains why you've run up an emotional overdraft and how you can reduce it, so that you can create a healthier relationship with your business, your loved ones, and yourself. In the process, you'll be helping your company to thrive in ways you could never imagine -- and without having to try so hard. Andy Brown is an award-winning adviser and coach for people-based businesses, helping them to grow sustainably and increase their value.

Grace Notes is endlessly inventive, clever and heartfelt and so friendly and inviting you hardly notice it playing your heartstrings or lighting up your brain like a mixing desk, and before you know it you're part of its score.

Blood Rush
As a young man, Jan Verplaetse saw a hare suspended from a meat hook, skinned and gutted. What struck him so forcefully at the time was not the animal itself, but the blood gently dripping from its mouth. His reaction prompted the start of a quest he undertakes in this book: to investigate our fascination with blood, the most vital of fluids. Blood Rush shows how, throughout history, blood has had the capacity to intoxicate us, to the point that we lose ourselves, whether in violence, through hunting, fighting, or killing, or in the vicarious thrill of watching sporting events, horror films, or video games. Are these feelings physical, or in our imagination? Where does the magic of blood come from? In his deeply researched and provocative narrative, Verplaetse moves from antiquity to the present, from magic to experimental psychology, from philosophy to religion and scientific discoveries, to demonstrate why blood at once attracts and repels us.

Casket
The Franks Casket (or Auzon Casket) is an 8th century Anglo-Saxon treasure chest, donated to the British Museum by a private owner from Auzon, France. Made from whalebone, the front, back, sides and lid of this small chest are decorated with runic inscriptions, some Latin text and images from various religious and mythical traditions.Each rune has an equivalent letter in the Latin alphabet, allowing for Anglo-Saxon and modern English translations. Each rune also has a pictorial value: for example, in the runic ¿¿¿¿(‘fisc’), f signifies ‘wealth’, i ‘ice’, s ‘sun’ and c ‘torch’, yielding a sequence of four images. To write the poems in this collection, I determined the sequence of images yielded by each runic word and then used these images, or variants of them, to write the poems.Using this multilevel technique of ‘translation’, the following poems are an attempt to capture something of the layered histories, from ancient times to present, of the place where I now live: the River Teign and its surrounding area.—Andy Brown
