Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

'A skilful, poetic and bleakly funny account of coping with a lifelong condition' THE GUARDIANAbsolutely extraordinary writing. JAMES O'BRIEN'So fantastic' CHRIS EVANS'Candid and compelling. A must-read.' BRYONY GORDON'Brilliantly readable.' PATRICK MCGRATH My mind is full of scorpions. A cerebral itch, impossible to scratch. I know these creatures well, but they know me better. They answer to another name, this nest of scorpions, the writhing black mass that lives inside my headFor as long as Tuppence Middleton can remember, she has struggled with obsessive thoughts and compulsions. She visualises her OCD as scorpions inhabiting her mind, something to be hidden that impacts her life daily:Have I killed my cat?When was the last time that person in front of me vomited?How many people have touched this door handle since it was cleaned?Should I tap the outside of the airplane to save my loved ones from harm?Often used as a shorthand for tidiness or as the punchline of a joke, OCD is one of societys most misunderstood disorders and its rarely spoken about with such honesty and openness.In this beautifully written, moving and often darkly funny memoir, Tuppence recounts what it feels like to share your mind with a nest of scorpions.'A fantastic memoir . . . Scorpions is intensely personal, yet somehow manages to be universal' JOHN ROBINS'There isnt a page that wont leave you with greater understanding and empathy' JANET ELLIS'Brilliantly immersive, funny, and brave' LISA OWENS. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Descrizione dello Store

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
