A small school of 400 souls in a British colony on the edge of a continent was, in the context of the world, an insignificant item. But in the minds of the young, and the aspirations of families, Bishops was a maker of destiny. _ Girls were selected early; from the age of ten or eleven, their future, or the esteem in which they held themselves, was set. Valued, sorted, and graded by whatever talent, intellect or grace, they were found to lack or possess, they left childhood behind them and woke to a new perspective of the world. _ Bishops', founded more than 150 years ago as a prestigious girls' school, has long been heralded as one of the foremost educational institutions in the Caribbean. Responsible for the evolution of women leaders, it went co-ed in the 1970's and still survives today, as Guyana advances in the modern world. _ A treasure trove of archival photos accompanies this memoir; former students recount their schooldays, pay tribute to teachers and friends, and delve deep into the events that shaped their lives.

An Economist Best Book of the YearEveryone accepts the importance of physical health; isn't it just as important to aim for the mental equivalent? Philippa Perry has come to the rescue with How to Stay Sane -- a maintenance manual for the mind.Years of working as a psychotherapist showed Philippa Perry what approaches produced positive change in her clients and how best to maintain good mental health. In How to Stay Sane, she has taken these principles and applied them to self-help. Using ideas from neuroscience and sound psychological theory, she shows us how to better understand ourselves. Her idea is that if we know how our minds form and develop, we are less at the mercy of unknown unconscious processes. In this way, we can learn to be the master of our feelings and not their slave. This is a smart, pithy, readable book that everyone with even a passing interest in their psychological health will find useful.

There is no simple set of instructions that can guarantee sanity, but if you want to overcome emotional difficulties and become happier, psychotherapist Philippa Perry, author of The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read, argues that there are four cornerstones to sanity you can influence to bring about change. By developing your self-observation skills, examining how you relate to others, breaking out of your comfort zone and exploring new ways of defining yourself, Philippa demonstrates that it is possible to become a little less tortured and a little more fulfilled. How to Stay Sane is at once a brilliant explanation of our minds and a profoundly useful guide to facing up to the many challenges life throws our way.Discover more inspirational guides from The School of Life series: How to Find Fulfilling Work by Roman Krznaric, How to Worry Less About Money by John Armstrong, How to Change the World by John-Paul Flintoff, How to Thrive in the Digital Age by Tom Chatfield and How to Think More About Sex by Alain de Botton.
