The Wellness Paradox #author Amy Green

The Wellness Paradox Why the more we succeed, the further we drift from real wellbeing Grounded in real stories, research, and reflection, discover how to rethink what living and working well actually means and how to create a life that feels good, not just looks good. A new way of living and working for a generation raised to do more. The wellness movement encourages us to work smarter, rest more, find balance. But, we are so busy doing these things that many of us are feeling more exhausted and disconnected than ever. The Wellness Paradox exposes the uncomfortable truth about modern life that the very systems meant to support us are the ones wearing us down. It’s not a lack of resilience, time, or self-care that are the problem. It’s the culture we’ve built around doing, achieving, and appearing “well.” This book is for leaders, educators, any young professional navigating modern work. It’s for anyone who’s followed all the rules worked hard, tried to find balance, ticked every box — and still feels like something’s missing. Author Amy Green is a leading voice in leadership and the future of work. She is a speaker, author and consultant who helps people and workplaces rethink the way they live and work, and unplug from the systems, expectations and ways of working that are no longer serving them.

Neighbourhood Watch #author Lauren Williams

The annual Curlew Street scarecrow competition is back, and the residents of Melbourne’s inner north have never seen an entry like it. Shirt bloody, head and arms slumped over a scarecrow crucifix: Victoria’s most conservative Supreme Court Judge, Harry ‘The Pope’ Somerton, is dead. Priyanka Pal, a former psychologist turned homicide detective, is disturbed when her investigation uncovers corruption close to home. Forced to confront the abuses of powerful men – the very reason she left psychology – Priyanka’s faith in the justice system falters.  Emma Bloom is sophisticated, intelligent, and seems to have it all together. But her prickly, estranged sister, Margot, knows the truth. Their attempts at reconciliation spiral into crisis with the death of Emma’s abusive husband, The Pope. As secrets unravel and Priyanka’s investigation cuts close to home, the sisters risk losing what fragile family ties they have left, and Priyanka’s career is on the edge. None of them will ever feel the same way about themselves (or their neighbours) again.  Before turning to fiction writing, author Lauren Williams worked as a lawyer, diplomat, actor, arts journalist and museum communications manager (not all at once).  This is her first novel.
