The User's Manual to Your Body by Andrew Renaut; John Aronis

$27.95 AUD

Category: General Health

Your body is the most sophisticated thing in the Universe, and you should view it as your most treasured possession. But you did not arrive in this world with a user's manual that tells you how your body works, particularly in relation to the food you put into it, and what goes wrong when you do things differently to how you have evolved.Two thirds of western society are either overweight or suffering from obesity. This is a potent source of unhappiness, extending in many to anxiety, stress and clinical depression. But there's also a significantly increased risk of serious diseases such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis and diabetes. If you contract any of these there's a very good chance you will die prematurely.Statistics show that what we are currently doing is clearly not working. And that's because people simply don't know or have been given the wrong information.The User's Manual For Your Body provides in simple terms everything you need to know. ...Show more

Great Sex Starts at 50 by Tracey Cox

$32.99 AUD

Category: Relationships

 "What a book. Slip between these covers. Satisfaction guaranteed." Kathy Lette, Get ready for the ride of your life Fifty-plus looks nothing like it used to. Fitter, healthier, many of us hit half a century with little sign of slowing down. And yet...there's no denying that something happens to us sexually at 50. The menopause brings with it a whole slew of challenges, from bottomed-out libidos to painful sex, weight gain and body image issues. Many men grapple with erectile dysfunction and the mixed blessing that is Viagra. Toss in dodgy knees, stiff backs and fatigue and sex can become a source of stress rather than pleasure. Other challenges go beyond the physical: how do you ignite desire after decades with the same person? And what if you (or your partner) simply no longer wants to have sex? Happily, information and enthusiasm are all it takes to reclaim a robust sex life, whatever your situation. Let international sex expert Tracey Cox navigate you through what's actually happening to your body and what you can do about it. She'll show you how to age-proof your libido and stop comparing the sex you had when you were young with the sex you have now; how to arouse yourself and your partner (hello, sex toys!), how to flirt (remember?), how to create the perfect conditions for sex, what to do when infidelity visits, how to navigate sex when you're fifty- (or sixty- or seventy-) something and single, and so much more. Using a blend of research, case histories and personal anecdotes, Great Sex Starts at 50 is real, reassuring, honest, funny and most of all empowering. This is not about trying to stay young, or turning back the clock-it's about being the best version of yourself so you can live the second half of your life as happily as the first. ...Show more

Beauty by Bri Lee

$19.99 AUD

Category: Self Help

A powerful meditation on beauty and body image from the author of Eggshell Skull.  You were either fit and trim or you weren't working hard enough. Your body was how you conveyed wealth and status to your peers, it was a personality trait, a symbol of goodness and values: an ethical ideal. In recen t decades women have made momentous progress fighting the patriarchy, yet they are held to ever-stricter, more punishing physical standards. Self-worth still plummets and eating disorders are more deadly for how easily they are dismissed. In Beauty Bri Lee explores our obsession with thinness and asks how an intrinsically unattainable standard of physical 'perfection' has become so crucial to so many. What happens if you try to reach that impossible goal? Bri did try, and Beauty is what she learned from that battle: a gripping and intelligent rejection of an ideal that diminishes us all. ...Show more
