Uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Often it’s not the situation itself that destabilises us, but the What Ifs. Our minds can get stuck wrestling with scenarios that may or could have happened. In Mindful Soldier, former soldier Ash Alexander-Cooper OBE and Dr Jessica K. (Jess) M. explore the unsettling sense of not knowing what lies ahead. Their advice is simple: 👉 Accept that you cannot know everything 👉 Let go of the battle with hypotheticals This way you can feel a real sense of calm and solutions are much more likely to come to you. Mindful Soldier is released this week and is available to order now. LINK: https://lnkd.in/eEhfy2bU #Uncertainty #Mindset #Resilience #Adaptability #MindfulSoldier #LeadershipDevelopment
About us
Quercus is a young, vibrant, internationally successful and award-winning publisher of fiction, non-fiction and children’s books. Quercus was established by Mark Smith and Wayne Davies in May 2004. The Directors had previously worked together at the Orion Publishing Group. Starting out in a small office in Dorset Street, London, the company quickly expanded, producing best sellers with each of its first two titles, Universe and Speeches that Changed the World. These titles have now generated sales of approximately 250,000 and 800,000 copies respectively, and both continue to sell strongly around the world. In July 2006 Quercus made its debut appearance on the UK bestseller lists with Peter Temple’s The Broken Shore, and by October the company had been listed on Plus Markets, attracting new levels of investment and ensuring a strong financial platform for future development. 2007 began with our first major literary prize, for Stef Penney’s The Tenderness of Wolves. It not only won the Costa Best First Novel Award, but was ultimately named as victor in the overall Book of the Year category. We were also pleased to be unveiled as one of three finalists at the Fast Growth Business Awards 2007, in the ‘PLUS New Company of the Year’ category. In 2008, under our MacLehose Press imprint, we published Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which won a Galaxy British Book Award. In 2009 the book’s sequel, The Girl Who Played with Fire, became the company’s first number one bestseller. It was the first translated title to top the UK hardback fiction chart – a landmark in British publishing history.

Resilience doesn’t just come from getting through difficult moments, it also comes from how we remember them. In Mindful Soldier, former soldier Ash Alexander-Cooper OBE and Dr Jessica K. (Jess) M. highlight the power of banking our past successes, consciously recognising moments when we came through something challenging. By recalling times when things went well, we strengthen our belief that we can do it again. These positive stored memories become practical tools we can draw on whenever pressure returns. Mindful Soldier is released on 22 January and is available to pre-order now. LINK: https://lnkd.in/eEhfy2bU #Resilience #Mindset #Growth #MentalFitness #MindfulSoldier #LeadershipDevelopment

When life destabilises us, especially when we are young, we often learn to rely on ourselves before we’re ready. One of the most powerful first steps is also the simplest. Find your feet. In Mindful Soldier, former soldier Ash Alexander-Cooper OBE and Dr Jessica K. (Jess) M. describe how grounding the body creates an immediate shift to help us feel rooted, anchored and strong. Just a few moments of visualisation can create this change without altering anything in the external world. Mindful Soldier is released in January and is available to pre-order now at the link below: https://lnkd.in/eEhfy2bU #Resilience #Grounding #Mindfulness #MentalStrength #MindfulSoldier #LeadershipDevelopment
