All The Tw*ts I Met Along The Way by Carolyn Hobdey (RRP £14.99)
All The Tw*ts I Met Along The Way tells Carolyn’s tales of crappy boyfriends, sickening sexual encounters, manipulative men, love triangles, unsupportive and unsupported medical diagnoses... and that’s just in the first few pages. From porn-addicted boyfriends who go from fitties to owners of ‘dad bods,’to car crashes and boob jobs. Marriage to a lover who became more like a brother (and who came out as gay after their 15 year relationship) and later a relationship with a man and his ‘ready-made family’ that exposes a damaging case of coercive control and narcissism. Carolyn’s story exposes the unrelenting pull of the child-parent relationship–even in adulthood–and all the messiness, self-esteem issues and confusion that can cause. As she writes, “I didn’t want to be the trouble-maker, the one to cause my parents concern, anymore.”
Enlighted As Hell and #AreYouHereYet? by Dr Tony Ortega (both RRP £11.99)
#AreYouHereYet follows the clinical psychologist’s signature raw, humorous, and compelling style as he continues to examine the perceived epidemic of being single in our universal quest for love. When a person is committed to doing all the work to improve themselves by being "The One" (and thereby improve their love life),what happens when nothing seems to happen afterwards? Through witty, thought-provoking writing, sassy #OMG Moments, case studies, and "Tea Time withTony" (end-of-chapter exercises for the reader),DrOrtega helps to explore the personal blocks and self-limiting beliefs that keep us stuck. It's a second chance at not only improving, but falling in love with, ourselves. It provides essential "what next?" support in a sea of self-help books focused on the start of the journey.
Enlightened As Hell is geared towards people who want to be enlightened (or simply live a better life) yet feel they can’t do so because of the past and/or current state of the spiritual world, Enlightened as Hell: How to Be Spiritual and Not Be a D**k is the third book by clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Ortega.Dr. Ortega brings three decades of experience as an actual mental health professional and consumer of an array of spiritual studies, as well as his sassy humour, to distil mental health and spiritual philosophies down to a street level. This is a book for millennials as much as it is for people 40+. Most likely to appeal more to women than men due to the nature of self-help readerships, Dr. Ortega is also a champion of LGBTQIA+ rights, so this is an inclusive, accessible book for anyone open to learning more about spirituality and potential answers to the question, “Is this it?”.
