Scribe’s January 2023 releases

This January, we have four insightful new books: an optimistic investigation into chronic pain, the follow-up to an acclaimed memoir, a practical guide to copywriting, and a new edition of a science-based introduction to meditation practice.

In Why Does It Still Hurt?, Paul Biegler, a science journalist and former doctor, investigates the true source of chronic pain — our brain’s so-called neuroplasticity — and emerging therapies that take advantage of that same neuroplasticity to rewire the brain and end the suffering. Ten years on from the release of her acclaimed memoir, High Sobriety, Jill Stark returns with Higher Sobriety to fill in the gaps on where life took her after she unwittingly became the poster girl for sobriety. Tait Ischia’s Copywrong to Copywriter is a concise guide to copywriting that will help you feel confident in what you say and how you say it when you put fingers to the keyboard, perfect for small business owners. Whether you have no experience with a reflective practice or are an experienced practitioner, Dr Daniel J. Siegler’s Aware is a practical, hands-on guide that will enable you to cultivate more focus, presence, and peace in your day-to-day life.

Why Does It Still Hurt?

Chronic pain is the single biggest cause of human suffering. Yet pain that persists for three months or more is often unrelated to any physical injury. So why does it still hurt?

Research over the last few decades shows that many of us — sufferers of chronic pain and health practitioners alike — are victims of a devilish trick of the nervous system. Where we believe that pain has its root in a damaged body, it is the brain that prolongs the hurting long after the body has healed. This leads to hundreds of billions of dollars being spent each year on treatments that sometimes do nothing and sometimes…

If you feel like you’ve got the wrong tone of voice, don’t understand the ins-and-outs of grammar, or just don’t feel confident writing about yourself without sounding like an idiot, read this book.

Copywriter Tait Ischia is brief and to the point in an interesting and engaging way. Which is exactly what you want the words on your website/marketing stuff/professional bio to be too, right? Feel confident in what you say and how you say it when you put fingers to the keyboard. Waffling on should really be reserved for weekend breakfast.

Higher Sobriety

What happened next? It’s the question Jill Stark has been asked most often since the publication of her acclaimed memoir, High Sobriety.

As one of the original pioneers in the ‘quit lit’ space, Jill started a national conversation about the role of alcohol in our lives, turning the lens on her own rocky relationship with booze and forensically dissecting the culture that gave rise to it.

Now, ten years after the book’s first release, she fills in the gaps on where life took her after she unwittingly became the poster girl for sobriety. In this updated edition, Jill charts her struggle to become a…
