![]() ![]() And who are those people with long earlobes creeping around? No one is sure whether the couple ran off on a lark or are the victims of something much worse. Grammie lives adjacent, and she is as worried about the missing couple as Max is. Max becomes, at 12, an independent young man. Immediately, the most important “lost things” he’s eager to find are his mother and father. Voigt, a Newbery medalist, tips expectations: Instead of a story of adventure in India, the tale has Max’s parents board a ship without him and seem to disappear. The drama only increases when the family gets an invitation to create a theater company for the maharajah of Kashmir. Max’s parents are actors, and their lives are unpredictable. Readers who wish their families were more interesting will be hooked, as I was, on Cynthia Voigt’s “Mister Max: The Book of Lost Things,” the first of a planned three-book series featuring an inventive and endearing boy named Max.

As a longtime gymgoer, I also found my exercise quota manageable. Since my experiment coincided with TIME’s return-to-office plans-mandating my presence in the office three days a week-I figured I’d get my workplace social-interaction fix whether I liked it or not. Despite how familiar they felt, I used them as the protocol for my highly unscientific burnout-busting experiment: I’d work out at least three times a week and do yoga at least once a week, meditate daily, and complete a daily creativity exercise. The first three are foundational aspects of good health, recommended by nearly every expert I’ve ever interviewed. So: socializing, exercise, meditation, and arts and crafts. Creativity practices may also chip away at burnout by reigniting passions and facilitating “flow,” or being engrossed in a task. Mindfulness practices such as meditation and yoga have been shown in some, but not all, studies to help, apparently by building resilience and improving emotional regulation. ![]() ![]() Studies suggest physical activity, a proven mood booster and stress reducer, can decrease burnout.

The Lake is a nuanced, delicate and captivating exploration of a fragile relationship between Chihiro and Nakajima. The Lake is her 13th novel, although many of her works are not yet translated into English. Opening sentence: The first time Nakajima stayed over, I dreamed of my dead mom.īanana is the pen name of Mahoko Yoshimoto she named herself after the banana flower (that looks a little like this) as she was drawn to the name’s androgynous quality and, she liked the flower. ![]() ![]() I sat down on a sunny afternoon and ended up reading it in one go testament to its addictive nature and the fact that it’s the sort of story that, personally, I benefit from really immersing myself in.

Being fooled like that normally isn’t a good thing – it tells you a lot about your brains and your eyes and so on, but for the most part we want to accurately understand what’s happening in the world, and that’s why psychology is so important. Anyone who’s seen optical illusions will realise we’re good at thinking the world is one way, but actually there is something else going on. I think it’s enormously important to be sceptical, particularly in psychology because we’re very good at leading ourselves astray. But in a sense it’s the scepticism that underlies all of my work that attracted me – whether it’s looking at people who claim to be very lucky, or at human behaviour which on the face of it looks one way, but if we use science and psychology then we find out what’s really going on. I’ve spent 20 years looking at ghosts and alleged psychics and so on. The paranormal is one of my research topics. How and why did you turn your scientific eye to the paranormal?

Brooding hero Jake Lovell, under whose magic hands even the most difficult horse or woman is charmed, is driven by his loathing of the dashing darling of the show ring, Rupert Campbell-Black. Riders, the first book in the Rutshire Chronicles series, was adapted into a film in 1993 starring Marcus Gilbert as Campbell-Black. Confessions of Custard: A Military Mule, Letters to Merrie and Bright, 1929-1932. Set against the glorious Cotswold countryside, Riders offers an intoxicating blend of swooning romance, adventure and hilarious high jinks. Treadwell-Collins said Cooper’s “iconic novels’ razor-sharp observations on class, sex, love and what it means to be British resonate even more today than when Jilly wrote them in the 1980s”. The author has previously revealed that Campbell-Black was a composite of the Duchess of Cornwall’s first husband Andrew Parker Bowles, fashion designer Rupert Lycett Green, and Michael Howard, the 21st Earl of Suffolk. She said she was “so, so excited” about the adaptation and could not wait to see who would step into the shoes of Campbell-Black. ![]() ![]() The series is being written by Dominic Treadwell-Collins, who was an executive producer on A Very English Scandal and EastEnders, and Olivier award winner Laura Wade, and who wrote the screenplay for the film The Riot Club.Ĭooper will also be an executive producer. ![]() |
