Received wisdom is increasingly that we all have to eat less to save the planet, but received wisdom is wrong. A Diet of Austerity argues that, just as the poor are blamed for the economic crisis, Malthusian conceptions about food and ecology are being used to hold the working class responsible for climate change and global hunger. Challenging existing dogmas about overconsumption and personal responsibility, it shows that what we need to stop climate change is system change.

Xerxes, the Great King of Persia invades Greece in 480 B.C. at the head of a massive army. Three hundred Spartans and King Leonidas die heroically blocking the Persian advance at the pass of Thermopylae. The Persians are poised to conquer all of Greece. The only one standing in their way is a woman Gorgo, Queen of Sparta. Though history has relegated her role to that of a bystander, what if she played a central role in the Greek resistance to the Persian invasion. What if she kept her true role a secret in order to play it more effectively? What if she was hiding other secrets too dark secrets of murder and vengeance? What if the only person who truly appreciated her genius was an enemy prisoner whom she has vowed to kill? What if after their victory, the Greeks started to turn on each other? What if, eventually, Gorgo had to choose between the security of Sparta and safety of her son? And what if the only one who could find a way out is the same prisoner who had once fought against the Spartans?

This book can help the sufferer of mild to moderate depression overcome the biggest hurdles to emotional health - negative belief and poor self-worth. Between them, these two processes generate the debilitating idea that there is no hope for a brighter future or the sort of life that others might call ';normal'. And yet with the structured programme presented here, the reader can: discover and eliminate subtle subconscious processes that lock depression in place; find their true self that may have been ';locked away' for years; discover whether it's conscious change or subconscious acceptance that's needed; find out how being active instead of reactive is the way forward. The seven-step programme was created by the author over many years of working directly with sufferers, successfully helping them to find their way back to emotional health. It's not just a quick fix that soon fades away, but a permanent solution that will actually reshape your life and attitude to self. In short, it's the blueprint that will help you set yourself free!
