Shortlisted for the CMI's Management Book of the Year Award 2018 and the Business Book Awards 2018 Twenty-five years after the arrival of the Internet, we are drowning in data and deadlines. Humans and machines are in fully connected overdrive - and starting to become entwined as never before. Truly, it is an Age of Overload. We can never have imagined that absorbing so much information while trying to maintain a healthy balance in our personal and professional lives could feel so complex, dissatisfying and unproductive. Something is missing. That something, Julia Hobsbawm argues in this ground-breaking book, is Social Health, a new blueprint for modern connectedness. She begins with the premise that much of what we think about healthy ways to live have not been updated any more than have most post-war modern institutions, which are themselves also struggling in the twenty-first century. In 1946, the World Health Organization defined 'health' as 'a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.' What we understood by 'social' in the middle of the last century now desperately needs an update. In Fully Connected Julia Hobsbawm takes us on a journey – often a personal one, 'from Telex to Twitter' – to illustrate how the answer to the Age of Overload can come from devising management-based systems which are both highly practical and yet intuitive, and which draw inspiration from the huge advances the world has made in tackling other kinds of health, specifically nutrition, exercise, and mental well-being. Drawing on the latest thinking in health and behavioural economics, social psychology, neuroscience, management and social network analysis, this book provides a cornucopia of case studies and ideas, to educate and inspire a new generation of managers, policymakers and anyone wanting to navigate through the rough seas of overload.

How does one handle hardship? What does it look like to persevere through a painful trial, especially if that trial never leaves? And how can a man who is riddled with anxiety and depression endure the suffering of watching his young daughter battle a terminal childhood cancer and unable to do anything about it?This book tackles several issues including anxiety and depression, overcoming bitterness, learning how to persevere, and how to deal with fear, shame, and guilt. The story includes Kristina, the 8-year-old daughter of Chad and Melissa Barrett, who was diagnosed with Clear Cell Sarcoma and battled it for four years. But this book isn't really about Kristina.This story also includes Chad, who had struggled with anxiety and depression for several years when he and his wife, Melissa, got the dreadful phone call that their daughter has cancer. But this isn't really about Chad, either.This true story is about the God-man, Jesus, who showed up in the midst of this storm. Instead of delivering the main characters from their plight, Jesus did something counterintuitive to us, humans. He led them deeper into the storm and showed His power. Written mostly in story form, his book is proof that the grace of Jesus is sufficient even for a parent's worst nightmare. It's sufficient to take a human, with all his flaws of shame, fear, and guilt, riddled with anxiety and depression, and then the grief from the death of his child, and bring him past the point of surviving into the realm of thriving.Only God can do that. He can do that for you, too, and this book will show you how.

Internationally recognized psychic and star of A&E’s hit show Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal, Chip Coffey shares his personal story of discovering his gift at a young age and offers valuable advice for nurturing and embracing psychic ability. No one knows more about psychic kids than Chip Coffey, and no expert on psychic kids is better known throughout the world. These kids are widely misunderstood, misjudged, and misdiagnosed. In Growing Up Psychic, Chip Coffey offers indispensable information for anyone who interacts with these extraordinary youngsters—parents, educators, medical professionals, mental health clinicians, members of the clergy, paranormal investigators—and adults who faced the challenges of growing up psychic.
