Is neuroscience now beginning to catch up, to deliver proof that the mystics, monks and medicine men were onto something? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTurning Down the Noise\u003c\/i\u003e explores, through Christine Jackman's own quest for a better way of being, what is happening to our brains, to our lives and our communities as our world becomes noisier than ever before. More importantly, it asks whether we can reverse the damage through simple daily acts designed to strip out the stimuli and reclaim the silence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Our children have a plethora of devices and technology available to them, but increasingly are distracted, irritable and struggling to learn. The modern search for a better sense of wellbeing has fuelled an industry worth billions of dollars but at the same time the use of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications continue to skyrocket. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is real-life working mum and respected journalist Christine Jackman's personal quest for a better way of being. Seeking ways to channel and capture the clarity and peace of mind so often lacking in our lives, she writes with a lightness of touch, sharing her own experiences and digging into her subject with the zeal of an investigative journalist with an enquiring mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Jackman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911632930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911632931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Murdoch Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/21\/2021 pg. 1","brand":"Christine Jackman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995313078527,"sku":"9781911632931","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_527152be-296e-43e2-8fc6-4a6d87de9751.jpg?v=1683335109","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/turning-down-the-noise-christine-jackman-9781911632931","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
