DISCONNECTED by Steve Taylor
Steve is a real friend of Cygnus and we try to feature all his books when they come out. It’s very rare to encounter an author who is firmly rooted in “the spiritual” but who can speak the language of science. The subtitle here gives us the key to the text: The Roots of Human Cruelty and How Connection Can Heal the World. Connection is the most essential human trait - it determines our behaviour and our level of well-being. Cruelty, on the other hand, is the result of a sense of disconnection. We can measure both social progress and personal development in terms of how far we move along a continuum of connection. Altruism and spirituality are experiences of our fundamental connection and regaining awareness of our connection is the only way by which we can live in harmony.

BEYOND THEOLOGY by Alan Watts
£14.43 £16.99
I love anything by Alan Watts. He is so witty and good with words, which means he can deploy his formidable intelligence to make deep religious and spiritual concepts comprehensible and even fun to learn about. Beyond Theology was first published in 1964 and it’s fascinating to read Watts – who used to be an Episcopal chaplain – analyse and critique Christianity, especially when he is more closely associated now with eastern belief systems like Zen and Taoism. Christianity is something that many of us now are turning away from but of course there is value there and maybe it takes a “philosophical jester” like Alan Watts to show us what we can learn from it. As ever, his intention is for us to see beyond the external trappings of the Christian church and find the beauty and sacredness on the other side.

WHAT I WISH PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT DEMENTIA by Wendy Mitchell
£8.87 £9.99
Wendy was just 58 when she was diagnosed with young-onset dementia, but she has dealt with it front-on and has lived a constructive and busy life since. Her first book was Somebody I Used to Know, which was more of an account of what happened to her, whereas this book – new in paperback – is a book of tips and guidance about what dementia actually feels like. Sadly it’s a book that many of us need as people live much longer lives. It’s a book that helps us understand what people with dementia are going through and how they experience things, which helps us to help them better. And, in describing the experience of dementia, it might also make us less afraid of it, as we are reassured that a vibrant and fulfilling life is still possible when you have it.
