        Reading

        by Philip Davis, Fiona Magee

        Can reading literature really help our mental health? This book shows how and why - not by instruction or prescription but by emotion and exploration. Offering case histories of individual readers and reading groups based on the work of The Reader, a charity dedicated to bringing serious literature to neglected communities, the authors showcase how a whole new demographic might get into reading, and in doing so unlock the emotional intelligence and benefits to health and wellbeing which come from our access to written human stories and imagined situations.

        Film

        by Steven Schlozman

        Our world is inundated by film. Our best stories are told on movie screens, on televisions, on smartphones and laptops. Film argues that on-screen storytelling is the most ubiquitous format for art to intersect with health and well-being, offering a way for us to appreciate, understand and even celebrate the most nuanced and complex notions of what it means to be healthy through the stories that we watch unfolding. Clinicians use film to better understand their patients, and individuals use film to better understand themselves and each other.   Using case histories and based on academic research from a range of disciplines, this book explores how film can be used by clinicians and healthcare practitioners to better understand patients; by individuals to better understand themselves and others; and – perhaps most important of all – by societies as a tool in the fight against the stigma of illness. This book not only makes the case that film keeps us healthy, but also tells us how. After all, nothing quite moves us like the movies.   For more information about our Arts for Health series: https://books.emeraldinsight.com/page/series-detail/Arts-for-Health/

        SMILING DEPRESSION

        by Hung Pei-Yun

        When we think of depression we imagine someone crying in a corner, all tears and frowns. The reality is, the more positive a person’s presentation, the more likely they are to be suppressing their most intolerable feelings. In the case of smiling depression, the state of depression is successfully hidden away behind a mask of positivity. The sufferer appears content and successful, but feels intense self-loathing and hopelessness on the inside.   In the current era of social media, which rewards positive thinking and proactive lifestyles, people feel pressured to create a positive image online. This kind of culture makes it difficult to accept our imperfect selves, to the point where we fear the gaze of others. To deal with smiling depression, we have to learn to go easy on ourselves, and to honestly face the vulnerability and fear inside us, so we can slowly transform our inner state towards one of self-acceptance.   Smiling depression manifests at the societal level in the increasing number of celebrity suicides. Starting from these well known cases, Smiling Depression moves into the issues we face in the various roles we play in life, revealing the origins of depression, and how it can develop unnoticed. Practical tips for those suffering from smiling depression include: learning not to hide your sorrow, finding safe places to express yourself, and seeking help when needed.   Clinical psychologist Hung Pei-Yun explores the issue of smiling depression from the perspective of the social environment and the relationship between outside expectations and our inner psychological states. She pays special attention to the unique challenges faced by gifted children, managers and bosses, members of the LGBT community, men who have difficulty with emotional expression, and members of the “sandwich generation” who have to juggle the twin responsibilities of raising children and caring for elderly parents.

        75 Ways to Combat Stress

        Illustrated With One Liners On Each Page For A Quick Read

        by Aishwarya Kalyan

        V&S Publishers, with a view to help people in their need to save time and yet read to learn, has put forth, 75 popular quotes, anecdotes or sayings in this one of a kind unique book 75 Ways to Combat Stress, in which every Tip/Hack on each page is supported by a caricature type illustration. The concept behind making this out-of-the-box book is– “A picture is worth a thousand words”, which is a well-known adage meaning that a number of different ideas can be conveyed by a single image more effectively than a verbal description. People instead of reading a text, opt for videos or images on social media for learning and leisure reading. We, at V&S Publishers, have already embraced this philosophy in this book knowing well that static pictures leave a larger impact on readers than text. Instead of using old school definitions and textual descriptions, the book uses a one liner with an illustration on each page similar to posts or memes on social media to convey the idea. This book is a part of a series having 10 books with each dedicated to a different idea like happiness, riches, health etc. This book, in the shortest way possible, provides ‘75 Ways to Combat Stress’ for the common man. The book is suitable for all age groups and is a simple fun read.
