Book Description
BREAK YOUR ADDICTION TO SUGAR IN 2020 ___________ David Gillespie was 6 stone overweight, lethargic and desperate to lose weight fast, but he'd failed every diet out there. Until he cut out sugar. Then he immediately started to lose weight - and kept it off. Now slim and with new reserves of energy, David set out to investigate the connection between sugar, our soaring obesity rates and some of the more worrying diseases of the twenty-first century. He discovered that it's not our fault we're fat: - Sugar was once such a rare resource that we haven't developed an off-switch, and we can keep eating sugar without feeling full. - In the space of 150 years, we have gone from eating no added sugar to more than 2 pounds a week. - Eating that much sugar, you would need to run 4.5 miles every day of your life to not put on weight. - Food manufacturers exploit our sugar addiction by lacing it through 'non-sweet' products like bread, sauces and cereals. In Sweet Poison, David Gillespie exposes one of the great health menaces of our time and offers a wealth of practical information on how to quit sugar.

Pages : 225

Book Description
"I didn't know how to deal with the poisonous and toxic people in my life or why they behaved the way they did, so I went looking for an answer. This book is what I found." Bestselling author David Gillespie turns his attention to a phenomenon that damages businesses, seeds mental disease and discomfort and can bring civilisations to the brink of implosion - the psychopath. Psychopaths are often thought of as killers and criminals, but actually five to ten per cent of people are probably psychopathic without ever indulging in a single criminal act. These everyday psychopaths may be charming in the early stages of relationships or employment but, Gillespie argues, their presence in your life is at best disruptive, and at worst highly dangerous: they will leave you feeling cheated and humiliated, dominating and manipulating you to the point where you question your sanity. Worse, he cautions, at a societal level their tendency to gravitate towards positions of power can be disastrous. Taming Toxic People is a practical guide to restraining that difficult person in your life, be it your boss, your spouse or a parent. But it is also a serious and meticulously researched warning: if we value a free and well-functioning society, we need to rebuild the sense of community that has historically kept the everyday psychopath in check, and we must understand and act to manage the psychopathic behaviour in our midst.

Book Description
Love: A Sweet Poison is an anthology of nineteen short-stories based on the theme of love that becomes poison if reciprocated wrongly to appease the false ego leaving behind emptiness of dark silence and heaps of shattered dreams. Love is a divine neurological feeling and psychological necessity like thirst and hunger. It would be erroneous to elevate 'Love' to the level of 'God' but the fact-love permeates the whole universe-cannot be ignored. Love is a feeling less to be defined and more to be experienced; so love blindly and unconditionally to lump up your emotions more vehemently but only when time is ripe and circumstances favourable. Side-effects of passionate love, romance, betrayal, heart breaks and ditching of partners after sexual gratification etc. themes have been chosen exclusively as core issues in this anthology which will prove a torchbearer to the teens and youngsters. This anthology highlights the pernicious results of love as an obsession at an immature age and it will take you to a world of badly broken-hearts and never healing scarred souls.

Book Description
Quiet—that’s what the town of Spender’s Ferry is. The lake, the abandoned mill, the woods behind the house—everything is so rural and peaceful, not at all like the clamor and constant street noise of the Bronx. When Charlie and Constance are brought in to investigate a murder and the poisoning of a dog, they discover that the placid woods of Spender’s Ferry muffle a teeming jungle of secrets—secret vices, secret pasts, secret pasts, secret pleasures. And one man’s pleasure, as the saying goes, is another man’s sweet, sweet poison.
