'Buy this book' - Lemn Sissay, author of My Name is Why'A book of profound importance' - Lisa Damour, author of UntangledIn recent years the word 'trauma' has become ubiquitous. Yet it remains widely misunderstood. In Trauma Proof international expert Benjamin Perks redefines how we see childhood trauma, and outlines a new path towards healing and prevention. For 25 years, Perks has worked for the UN and UNICEF on eradicating global barriers to child wellbeing, including poverty, hunger, disease, the mobilisation of child soldiers and population displacement. But he has also been on a personal journey of healing from his own childhood, spent living in the UK's care system and on the streets. Today, new research is revealing little-known aspects of childhood trauma. It is no surprise that it drives addiction or poor mental health. But how does it explain a heightened risk for heart disease or diabetes? Why does it so comprehensively correlate with poor life outcomes? And how can we not only heal from, but prevent, the types of experiences that negatively impact on child development?In Trauma Proof, Perks explains the science behind these findings, and argues that making simple changes can break damaging inter-generational cycles. Ultimately, he shows how building secure attachments and improving the quality of your relationships can radically transform your life, at any age.

'Exceptionally interesting' - Alain de BottonWhy are some relationships unstable, while others last a lifetime? Why do the rich keep getting richer, and can it ever be any other way? And why do we all make seemingly irrational decisions? People are messy. Science is methodical. Could ideas from physics allow us to solve our most urgent problems? ?This book is about the hidden, surprising, and sometimes beautiful ways in which physics could help you make sense of a chaotic and unpredictable world. Drawing on cutting-edge research and eye-opening insights from quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chaos and complexity theory, materials science and more, The Art of Physics shows that science offers a rich vocabulary for tackling contradictions that seem to be the hallmarks of daily life.
