Untangling Your Own Childhood
Our parents play a significant role in shaping who we are. Regardless of the nature of our relationship with them, our family of origin profoundly influences key aspects of our lives—our approach to love, our attitudes toward work, and even our sense of self-worth.
Following the bestseller How to Overcome Your Childhood, Getting Over Your Parents by The School of Life serves as a practical guide for navigating the complex legacy our parents leave behind.
By examining different types of parents—such as "The Preoccupied Parent," "The Overprotective Parent," and "The Controlling Parent"—the book provides a vocabulary to help us understand some of the strange and challenging ways parents can impact their children. It also offers advice on how to move past these inherited complexities. The focus is not on assigning blame but on fostering understanding.
This book presents constructive strategies for dealing with the lingering effects of a difficult childhood, encouraging us to reflect on the past so we can avoid repeating our parents' mistakes. Ultimately, it helps us pave the way for the creative, peaceful, and loving future we deserve.

Mind And Body Book
€22.00
A practical and playful guide to balancing and maintaining physical and mental harmony.
The modern world can present the body as a machine that just needs to be regularly exercised. However, it is a remarkably sensitive organ in which a lot of our pain and hope is stored and that we need to interpret and handle with subtlety. This impact of our body upon our mind is something that needs to be explored as it is easy to pay attention to one more than the other and to ignore the crucial balance between the two.
