K...I...S...S
A meditation on the art of well-being by “keeping it simple”
by Peter Stanley

Find the ultimate way to live your life - although don't follow this book exactly or you may end up in trouble.

Simply take from it what you need. Live your life as YOU want to, and in doing so, have loads of fun.

This memoir incorporates all the elements of well-being with adventure, humour and a desire to ensure the readers own well-being.

A deeply personal and inspiring account of the author’s life but ultimately, this is a powerful message about the importance of the need to mitigate suffering, whether on an individual or social level.

The author shares his own experiences of overcoming adversity, as well as thoughts on how we can all work together to create a more compassionate and equitable world.

A rip roaring read but with the accent on the relief of suffering and achieving the ultimate in well being - how? - with humour – and fill your soul with music and your heart with love!

Peter spends his life having fun, or at least trying to when not extricating himself from yet another situation caused by his incessant quest to remove suffering from people’s lives with his care for others.

Sometimes dubbed a rebel with a cause, he has worked as an accountant, salesman, serial entrepreneur and chaired a public company for a number of years.

Married to Mame, a lovely lady who died a short while ago, they have two children, two grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

This is his first book.

An Ordinary Baby
Tales of Childhood Resistance

All-powerful adults organise the lives of children but rarely take into account the fact that children have minds of their own, disabled children even less so. This account is a remembered story of one such child, born in 1950 with an impairment called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or ‘Brittle Bones’.

Micheline invites you to experience the world from her point of view and, in particular, how she developed and executed an escape plan from the segregated and shrunken world that most people expected her to inhabit for the rest of her life.

Her story highlights some horrific memories of children’s wards back then but also the good times: the fun and support given to her by her unusual working-class family.

Her own illustrations add images to the words, giving the reader a sense of how her identity as an artist/activist began to develop and eventually led her onto the world stage.

Micheline Mason is a life-long Artist/Activist and Writer. She was born in the 1950s to a working-class family, a fireman’s daughter.
At four days old she was diagnosed with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or Brittle Bones, seen then as a severe ‘handicap’ which would define her life.
Her struggle against any such false limitations led her to help disabled people to develop the concept of disability as a social oppression, kept in place by segregation and loss of human rights, which needs to be constantly challenged.
Since becoming a mother she campaigned for a fully inclusive education system to become a right for all children.
She is now 71, ‘retired’ and living in London, with more time than ever to stir things up.

Dr David Jolly MBChB, MRCGP, Bsc (Hons)
This is a really good, common-sense book, to help people gain a healthier lifestyle.

Binny
None of the old hash about dieting. This is easy to read, easy to understand and makes sense. It allows you to eat sensibly and healthily and keep you sane on the journey to healthier eating and a better lifestyle. Have read the whole book and been on the course. I keep the book by my side while watching tv so I can dip into it when I need to remind myself of what I am aiming for and why.

Front Room Beauty, Banstead
Amazing book, really makes you think. I love the worksheets in the back and would recommend to all, not just those looking to lose weight.

Stop Smoking with the Symonds Method
Dr Gabriel Symonds

This book sets out to reproduce in written form what takes place in Dr Symonds’s face-to-face quit-smoking sessions that have proved so successful with hundreds of smokers; it is the distillation of his twenty years of experience.

The Symonds Method is based on helping smokers to demonstrate to themselves why they really smoke and why quitting seems so hard. Once these are understood, smokers will find there should be no difficulty in refraining from something they don’t want to do anymore.

Unlike other quit-smoking books, the unique Symonds Method is simple and quick to learn. No nicotine products (including e-cigarettes), drugs, hypnosis, scare-tactics, or gimmicks are used.

Further —
* Do not choose a ‘quit date’ - this is setting yourself up for failure
* Do not worry about smoking ‘triggers’ - just carry on with your life (except for smoking)
* Forget ‘cravings’ - whatever these are
* For less than the cost of two weeks’ worth of nicotine patches, this e-book will show you how to get that Nicotine Monkey off your back for good.

A Reason to Love Them
Daniela Svampa Cowie

As a result of the incredible response and feedback to my autobiography, A Reason To Love Me, I felt A Reason To Love Them to be the most logical follow up. Although not a sequel per se, the two are very much linked. Whilst offering further insight into my life experiences, with this book I aim to challenge views and beliefs by suggesting alternative perspectives, perspectives which have helped me heal and take my life back.

Although it can be incredibly hard at times for us to love ourselves, it can feel almost impossible for us to love ’them’, those whom we view as the perpetrators. A lesson without which inner peace cannot be achieved.

A book that offers techniques, methods and alternative perspectives which deal with overcoming trauma and abuse. From mental health to physical abuse the author through her own life experience as a survivor, with courage, love and acceptance, proves that nothing is insurmountable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very beautiful and powerful book

This beautifully written book has the potential to be life changing for its reader.
Using her own experiences, Daniela takes you on a journey of deep self-reflection and offers you a different way of perceiving the world. She tackles the most difficult topics with such awareness and understanding, consistently promoting messages of love, compassion and kindness. Each chapter delves into a different topic, always finishing with a ‘reason to love them’. This is a powerful way of guiding you through a shift in perception, and the process of forgiveness.
Daniela has clearly experienced some very dark moments- as have many of us - but she has has found a way to shine light onto them and in doing so has become free from their chains. In reading this book, I guarantee you will be inspired to do the same. I thank her for sharing the story of her own healing to help others.
