Six Frames: For Thinking About Information
by Edward De BonoAttention is a key part of thinking clearly and productively, and yet we pay very little attention to attention itself. If you see someone lying injured in the middle of the road, for example, your attention would go to that person but, if a bright pink dog wandered past at the same time, your attention would automatically stray to the dog. That is precisely the weakness of attention - it is pulled to the unusual. How much attention do we pay to the usual?So, what can we do about it? Instead of waiting for attention to be pulled towards something unusual, we can set out frameworks for 'directing' our attention in a conscious manner. Just as we can decide to look north, west or even south-east, so we can set up a framework for directing our attention, and that's where Edward de Bono's 'six frames' come in. Each frame is a direction or method in/with which to look, based on a different shape - triangle, circle, heart, square, diamond, slab.Today we are literally surrounded by information and it has never been so easy to obtain. Yet, information itself is not enough; it's how we look at it that really counts. Using the 'six frames' technique is the key to extracting real value from the masses of facts and figures out there and, like all de Bono's techniques, it is simple, effective and will utterly change the way you interpret information.

Singing the Life: The story of a family living in the shadow of Cancer
by Elizabeth BryanAs a result of a genetically-transmitted gene, all three Bryan sisters, Felicity, Elizabeth and Bunny have had cancer. And, unusually, each of them suffered a different cancer; ovarian, breast and pancreatic. As the gene also has a dominant inheritance, half of their family members can be expected to carry it. Now, in a personal and deeply affecting memoir, Elizabeth writes of her family's extraordinary experience of this dreadful disease. Writing not only as a daughter, sister and aunt of those afflicted and bereaved by cancer, but as a sufferer herself, she will tell of the shocks, sadnesses, dilemmas and uncertainties that come with diagnosis and then treatment. Giving a personal view from both the perspective of a patient and that of a relative, as well as comparing the impacts of remission and terminal prognoses on herself and those around her, Singing the Life gives a uniquely wide-ranging account of dealing with life-threatening illness and the threat it still poses in her family. Eloquently setting Elizabeth's personal story against the universal fears, problems and worries that face those affected by cancer, this is an inspirational and encouraging read unlike any other on the subject.

How to Pull: A girl's must-have guide to meeting and dating men
by Tom KimbleMost single girls will tell you that meeting and dating men is a minefield. Yet so many relationship books tell girls the things they don't want to hear (why all men are scoundrels) as opposed to what they really want to know - how to navigate that minefield to meet, date and ultimately bag, the man of their dreams.How to Pull fills that gap in the relationship book market. It's packed with all the essentials from how to hook him with that first look, to dating scenarios, moving in for the kill, playing the texting or email game and what to wear on a first date. What's more, it's written by a man and by allowing girls to understand how an insider thinks, it answers all the questions they agonise over: how long should you wait to return his text, does it pay to seem busy or desired by other men and what does he want his friends to think when they meet you. How to Pull is a fun, indispensable guide to finding (and keeping) a man that all single girls will be desperate to get their hands on.
