Book Description
'I don't think there's a police officer or emergency worker out there who's not going to get something from this book.'—Ron Iddles OAM In 2014 Tim Peck's career was at its peak – after reaching his goal of working in the Homicide Squad, he had enjoyed a period of rapid promotion through the ranks, working high-profile cases and managing complex operations, throwing everything into his career. But internally he was struggling – with depression, anxiety, PTSD and alcohol dependency. Then he reached a breaking point nobody had seen coming, running his car off the road and planning to end his life. In the aftermath of this crisis, Tim got sober, got serious about therapy and learnt a lot about a subject he had previously ignored: mental health and the impact of work involving traumatic events. He went on to study psychotherapy and take roles at Beyond Blue and Phoenix Australia, shaping mental health programs for emergency service workers across Australia. In The Invisible Obvious, Tim shares his story candidly, exploring how he didn't see the 'obvious' and what led to the escalation of his symptoms. He argues that everyone should take responsibility for their own mental health rather than blaming others or using unhealthy coping mechanisms, and he shares his 'everyday' model of mental health that anyone can use to manage high stress levels. The Invisible Obvious is a remarkable account of recovery and resilience and an invaluable resource for those dealing with or recovering from trauma, particularly in the workplace. With forewords by Georgie Harman, CEO, Beyond Blue and David Forbes, Director, Phoenix Australia-Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health, Department of Psychiatry, University of Melbourne. 'The Invisible Obvious is a must-read for anyone interested in mental health, mental illness, and the messiness of life. It is an uninhibited story of crisis and struggle, but also of hope, resilience and recovery – one that doesn't mince words, and that fearlessly peels back the scab on the stigma that feeds discrimination.' —Georgie Harmon, CEO, Beyond Blue 'Sometimes we read a memoir that opens our heart, challenges our mind and inspires us to make things better in this fraught, painful and complicated world we live in. The Invisible Obvious does all this and I am grateful for it having been written.' —David Forbes, Director of Phoenix Australia, Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health, University of Melbourne

Book Description
Reading this book will make you less sure of yourself—and that’s a good thing. In The Invisible Gorilla, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, creators of one of psychology’s most famous experiments, use remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate an important truth: Our minds don’t work the way we think they do. We think we see ourselves and the world as they really are, but we’re actually missing a whole lot. Chabris and Simons combine the work of other researchers with their own findings on attention, perception, memory, and reasoning to reveal how faulty intuitions often get us into trouble. In the process, they explain: • Why a company would spend billions to launch a product that its own analysts know will fail • How a police officer could run right past a brutal assault without seeing it • Why award-winning movies are full of editing mistakes • What criminals have in common with chess masters • Why measles and other childhood diseases are making a comeback • Why money managers could learn a lot from weather forecasters Again and again, we think we experience and understand the world as it is, but our thoughts are beset by everyday illusions. We write traffic laws and build criminal cases on the assumption that people will notice when something unusual happens right in front of them. We’re sure we know where we were on 9/11, falsely believing that vivid memories are seared into our minds with perfect fidelity. And as a society, we spend billions on devices to train our brains because we’re continually tempted by the lure of quick fixes and effortless self-improvement. The Invisible Gorilla reveals the myriad ways that our intuitions can deceive us, but it’s much more than a catalog of human failings. Chabris and Simons explain why we succumb to these everyday illusions and what we can do to inoculate ourselves against their effects. Ultimately, the book provides a kind of x-ray vision into our own minds, making it possible to pierce the veil of illusions that clouds our thoughts and to think clearly for perhaps the first time.

Book Description
Do you trust the voice in your head? Our brains are remarkable. They subconsciously translate the events around us into meaningful storylines that inform what we think and how we live. The problem is, the stories our minds feed us as facts aren't always true. Worse, these stories turn into false beliefs about others, the world, and ourselves that keep us from our true potential. These limiting beliefs confront us all. But what if you could harness your brain's operating system to tell a new story? Not just any story. A true story that empowers you to overcome limitations and surpass your goals. Drawing upon the latest insights in performance psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, as well as case studies from their own clients, New York Times bestselling author Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller outline a framework anyone can follow to test their own assumptions and start living better, truer stories that shape superior outcomes in business and life.

Book Description
Manuscript cultures have frequently forgotten, neglected, or even erased women's contributions from memory. Women's agency has also been a glaring blind spot in the scholarly pursuit of gender perspectives on the production of written artefacts. This volume addresses these lacunae by highlighting manuscripts and inscriptions by and for women, their active participation and enabling sponsorship, and their role in the circulation and dissemination of written artefacts. Seven papers present case studies from East Asian inscriptions to ancient cuneiform epigraphic, Egyptian graffiti from late antiquity to individual specimen and large-scale collections in medieval Europe, focusing on how women participated in and contributed to those. How did they assert their involvement, their claims and their aspirations? By what rationales and mechanisms were they excluded or their contribution marginalised? How did they react to structures that discriminated against them, eventually circumventing, subverting and transforming them? The present volume sheds light on new findings, gives unique insights and discusses methodological considerations in the budding field of women's manuscript studies.
