Long before memory begins to fade or cognitive tests show decline, the brain issues a subtle, silent warning: the loss of smell. This seemingly harmless symptom is increasingly recognized as one of the most accurate early predictors of neurodegenerative diseases.The olfactory bulb is directly wired to the brains memory and emotion centers, serving as an exposed vanguard of our nervous system. When toxic proteins associated with Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease begin their invasion, this delicate sensory bridge is often the first casualty. Yet, modern medicine routinely dismisses a fading sense of smell as a mere nuisance of aging.Eleanor Miles unpacks the cutting-edge neurology behind olfactory decline. She explores the hidden mechanics of how our brain processes scent, why this specific sensory pathway is so vulnerable to early neurological damage, and what this means for the future of non-invasive diagnostics.Protecting your cognitive longevity starts with paying attention to the subtlest signals. Learn how to monitor your olfactory health and discover the proactive steps you can take to safeguard your mind.

For many men, the hardest part of going to the gym has nothing to do with the weights. Its the walk through the door. Its the feeling of not knowing what youre doing while everyone else seems to. Its the quiet shame of being a beginner in a space that often celebrates the already-arrived.This book explores what actually stops men from startingnot laziness or lack of motivation, but something more honest: the fear of being judged, the discomfort of vulnerability in a physical space, and the deeply human resistance that comes with doing something unfamiliar in public.Gym Confidence for Absolute Beginners examines the inner patterns behind that hesitation.

Theres a particular quality to the feeling that arrives in the final months of a year. Its not quite urgency and not quite griefbut something that lives between them. The quiet reckoning of time that passed faster than expected, intentions that never quite became actions, and the strange mixture of disappointment and stubborn hope that insists something can still shift before the calendar turns.This book explores the emotional landscape of the final quartera period many people experience as either a desperate scramble or a resigned surrender, when it could instead become something far more honest and meaningful.

Doomscrolling rarely feels like a choice. It feels like fallinga pull toward one more headline, one more update, one more confirmation that the world is exactly as unsettling as you suspected.

Many men who struggle to lead arent lacking confidence in the conventional sense.

Most people who want a fresh start dont just want to change one thing. They feel the pull toward something more completea quieter mind, a body they feel at home in, a wardrobe that actually reflects who they are rather than who they used to be or thought they should become.

It is an acknowledged fact that we perceive errors in the work of others more readily than in our own.Leonardo da VinciIn this Beginners Psychology I have tried to write, as nearly as might be, the kind of book that I should have found useful when I was beginning my own study of psychology. That was nearly thirty years ago; and I read Bain, and the Mills, and Spencer, and Rabier, and as much of Wundt as a struggling acquaintance with German would allow. Curiously enough, it was a paragraph in James Mill, most unpsychological of psychologists, that set me on the introspective track,though many years had to pass before I properly understood what had put him off it.A book like this would have saved me a great deal of labour and vexation of spirit. Nowadays, of course, there are many introductions to psychology, and the beginner has a whole library of text-books to choose from. Still, they are of varying merit; and, what is perhaps more important, their temperamental appeal is diverse.I do not find it easy to relate this new book to the older Primer,which will not be further revised. There is change all through; every paragraph has been rewritten.

Theres a strange paradox living inside the self-improvement era of social media. The more a person grows, the more theyre expected to document it.

It is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to grow for yourself in a world that rewards growing out loudfor anyone who has begun to wonder whether their progress belongs to them or to their feed.

We walk through the world entirely convinced that we can easily read the motives, flaws, and true characters of the people around us. Yet, when others judge us, we fiercely believe they only see a fraction of our profound complexity.This cognitive bias is the Illusion of Asymmetric Insight. It is the arrogant, subconscious belief that our social perception is sharper than everyone elses.

It is a thoughtful exploration of what it feels like to want your attention backfor anyone who has caught themselves scrolling through nothing, looking for something they cant quite name.

Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty.I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there is no resurrection.

A messy life rarely looks the way people imagine. Its not always visible chaosscattered rooms and missed deadlines. More often its an internal experience: the low hum of disorganization that makes each day feel slightly harder than it should, the guilt of knowing what would help but not quite doing it, and the exhausting gap between the life you intend to live and the one you actually wake up inside.This book explores the emotional patterns beneath everyday disorder. It examines why structure so often feels like something that works for other peoplethose who seem naturally disciplined, naturally consistent, naturally togetherand what actually gets in the way for everyone else.
