Aion is one of the major works of C.G. Jung's later years. The title comes from the Greek word for aeon or age and refers to the age of Christianity, for, in Aion, Jung is concerned with the collective psychic development that the Christian era represents. How did it come about when it did? What psychic change did it represent? In exploring these questions, Jung (1875-1961) draws upon Christian symbolism and, in particular, the figure of Christ as a case study in the archetype of the Self. 

As a top-flight foreign correspondent, John Passmore was at the pinnacle of his career: the Chief Correspondent of the London Evening Standard. Then, at the age of 45, he announced that he was bored and resigned. It would not be until he was 68 that this made any sense. At a time when most people are taking stock of their lives, Passmore was told that he had ADHD. In fact, he was in the 1% of the most severe cases. Suddenly, everything made sense the chronic search for excitement, the chaotic relationships, the poor school reports, bad driving… It was a crushing emotional experience.

Tim Clare has suffered from extreme anxiety and panic attacks for a decade. This was something the couple just got used to and were able to manage, until they became parents. With the arrival of Tim's daughter came a new wave of extreme anxiety, triggered by the knowledge that his own mental ill-health could be negatively impacting his child. It was at this point that Tim made a promise to himself—that he would try everything he could to get better. In Coward, Tim explores all the possible treatments for anxiety, from SRIs to hypnosis, from running to extreme diets. 

You don’t stay in a toxic relationship with a narcissist because you’re weak. You stay because you’re confused. If you’re married to a narcissistic woman who drains your confidence, rewrites reality, punishes you emotionally, and still somehow makes you feel like the problem, this book was written for you. From the outside, your marriage may look normal. Even successful. Behind closed doors, you’re walking on eggshells, second-guessing yourself, and slowly losing who you are. And the most painful part? You can’t fully explain why.

In the very depths of the human soul there is a darkness. It is an entity which most of us may never get to know; for others, however, this darkness grows for years until it takes hold of them and permeates every inch of their body. This darkness is evil incarnate, and it is in the hearts and minds of some of the most dangerous and despicable human beings to have walked this same earth we live in today. In the following volumes, you shall discover the stories of six murderers so tainted by darkness that their horrific accounts still bring fear to men and women of our present day.

Mark’s story is one of recovery and sobriety. It brilliantly articulates the societal pressures that can leave people feeling isolated and lost, and offers a path to finding your own sense of ‘good enough’. Perhaps Mark’s story can be the spark that ignites that journey for you, or at the very least a guide on how not to mess up your life. Either way, it’s definitely not a self-help book.
