In a world overwhelmed by information, especially on social media, it can be challenging to discern what’s real and what’s not, particularly when it comes to financial advice. Home Truths About Money goes back to basics, stripping away the slick social media veneer to address the bare-bone facts about money – the home truths that we may not want to face.

The book covers essential issues such as:

• Money can make you happy
• Having lots of money doesn’t make you rich
• DIY investing isn’t easy
• Money can grow on trees if you plant the right seeds
• Your retirement plan will never be perfect
• You won’t get rich putting your money in a bank account
• Married people end up wealthier in the long run.

Walker emphasizes that having a healthy relationship with money is a crucial life skill. To achieve this, one must understand how money works and how it intertwines with our lives. Regardless of age, income, or social standing, investing time in understanding money is essential before investing it.

Why do some people create extraordinary impact while others with the same ability stall? This book lays out four fundamental principles grounded in science that have a multiplier effect on life and leadership and explain this paradox. It turns out it's not what talent you have – it's how you use it. The Four Principles are counterintuitive but are accessible and learnable, and their signifcant multiplier effect is explained and mathematically demonstrated.

Adrian Gore, founder and CEO of Discovery and Vitality, built a company from a single, bold idea into a global financial group serving over 50 million customers across 37 countries. He didn’t just scale a business; he created a whole new Shared-Value business model, a system so revolutionary it’s taught as a case study at Harvard Business School, and recognised by Fortune magazine as ‘changing the world’.

In The Four Principles, Gore reveals the framework and guiding principles that powered this trajectory:

• Disciplined Optimism: Why choosing optimism is the most rational path to seizing overlooked opportunities.
• Focused Urgency: Why your perceived time to make an impact is shorter than you think.
• Declared Goals: Setting bold goals triggers radical motivation and decisive action.
• The Pareto Tail: Target just a few high-power decisions to determine your life’s entire trajectory.

Most traders spend their lives searching for the perfect strategy. They believe the next indicator, the next system, the next prediction will finally unlock their success. They are wrong.

In Jack of All Trades – How to Become the Complete Trader, Dr Robert J van Eyden reveals the truth few are willing to confront: consistent profitability has nothing to do with finding the perfect trade. It has everything to do with becoming the right trader.

Drawing on decades of experience as a professional trader, CEO of trading platforms, mentor to hundreds of traders and respected thought leader in retail trading, Van Eyden takes you inside the real battle, the one that takes place not on the charts, but within yourself. You will discover:

• Why most traders fail even with good systems;
• How to build an edge grounded in probability, not hope;
• The psychological discipline that separates professionals from amateurs;
• How risk and position sizing quietly determine your destiny; and
• How mastering yourself unlocks consistency, confidence and freedom.

Guided by the hard-won wisdom of his mentor, Jack Shark, this book is not about trading more. It is about trading complete. Because the ultimate edge was never in the market. It was always in you.

A witty, essential guide to our new era of economic competition. From Soumaya Keynes, podcaster and columnist at the Financial Times and Chad Bown, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

We used to take trade for granted. Trillions of dollars of goods and services crossed borders each year, made possible by a global, rules-based system. Nobody paid too much attention to supply chains: they just worked.

Now, Trump’s latest tariff announcement can crash markets, ruin your pension, and sour decades-long alliances. Brexit can sever Britain from its closest trading partners. China’s export restrictions on rare earths could bring the West’s car production to a crashing halt. Curbs on trade in cutting-edge chips could determine who wins the AI race. The stakes couldn't be higher.

In this irreverent guide to our economic world, Keynes and Bown explore the history, players, and rules of trade, asking how we prepare for what the future might hold. Could trade wars lead to hot wars? What can the West learn from China?

Timely, funny and informative, How to Win a Trade War argues that the old system is dead. But what will emerge in its place? And ultimately, what is at stake for you, your country, and your company?

Most people spend their lives solving small problems―following rules they never question, chasing goals they didn’t choose, and accepting limits that don’t actually exist. If you’ve ever felt you were meant to play a bigger game, this book shows you how.

In Counterintuitive, Naveen Jain―serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and founder of multiple billion-dollar companies―reveals the way of thinking that allowed him to consistently do what others believed was impossible. Jain shares that his success did not come from being smarter, luckier, or more connected. Instead, it came from asking better questions and challenging the conventional.

Breakthrough success doesn’t come from working harder within the system. It comes from stepping outside it entirely. It’s thinking so big that problems become simpler. It’s using imagination as a discipline, not a daydream. And it’s choosing bold optimism when the world insists on cautious realism. This is not a book of tactics. It’s a blueprint for a mindset shift.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why thinking bigger is often easier than thinking small―and why the world’s most complex problems are the most solvable
• How to unlearn the invisible rules that limit ambition, creativity, and impact
• How to train your imagination to see opportunities where others see constraints
• The counterintuitive principles Jain used to build billion-dollar companies, shape industries, and tackle global challenges

Blending personal stories, hard-won lessons, and unconventional insights, Counterintuitive challenges you to stop settling for what you’re told is realistic and start reaching for what’s truly possible.

This book tells the extraordinary true story of how two visionary South Africans transformed a dream born in the Cape Flats into a powerhouse listed on the JSE. This isn't just another business book -- it's a gripping testament to the power of determination, community, and economic transformation in post-apartheid South Africa.

Brimstone was founded in 1995 by an accountant, Mustaq Brey, and an insurance salesman, Fred Robertson, who did not want to leave their community behind. In that same year, they acquired a stake in Oceana, raising initial capital of R3m from community shareholders in the Cape Flats. Brimstone is the longest listed Black company on the JSE -- since 1998. In that time they have triumphed over financial crisis, resisted hostile takeovers, recovered from poor investments and continued to pull ahead.

This is an inspiring story of small beginnings, resilience and a social conscience in business.

Let's be honest - no one grows up saying, 'One day, I want to be undervalued, underpaid, and overused like a free trial that no one cancels.' In Corporate Rebel, Sadika Fakir delivers a fearless, funny, no-BS guide to surviving—and thriving—inside systems that profit from women's ambition while quietly diminishing it.

From unpaid gigs and free consulting to boardrooms, breakdowns, bad bosses, and even worse job offers—and finally rising to senior leadership—Sadika tells it like it actually is. She has lived the contradictions of corporate life and is done pretending that hard work alone is enough. No corporate jargon. No girl-boss clichés. Just hard-won lessons, sharp humour, and radical honesty about what it really takes to be a woman at work.

This isn't a glossy “lean in” manifesto or a confidence pep talk. It's real strategy: how power actually works, why ego derails careers, when working for free is a trap, and how to stop playing small without burning everything down. Because sometimes being a corporate rebel means knowing when to break the rules, when to rewrite them, and when to laugh at how ridiculous they were in the first place.

Funny, fierce, deeply human, and refreshingly unpolished, Corporate Rebel is for every woman who's ever felt invisible in the room—and decided she wasn't going to stay that way.

This is not a career manual. It's a rebellion.

How do we do more with less? From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Range, why limits are the key to stimulating creativity, innovation, collaboration, and personal contentment.

We live in a world that gives us seemingly infinite choices and prizes freedom above all else. We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to do, who to be, and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is also overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing, and unlimited resources don’t necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In fact, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from starting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction.

David Epstein argues that all of us—individuals, businesses, institutions, even societies—can benefit from narrowing our options. He dives into the science and practice of constraints, exploring exactly when and how guardrails can be beneficial, whether we’re working with limited resources or using self-imposed boundaries to tap unexpected wells of focus and innovation.

Original, galvanizing, and deeply researched, Inside the Box tells absorbing stories of people and organizations that embraced constraints to transform themselves, and the world—as well as a few that struggled from a lack of limits. Epstein reveals how boundaries create breakthroughs, and how setting the right constraints can help you become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself.

The personal development book for people who don’t have time for personal development.

Some people wake up at 4 a.m., run 15 miles barefoot and have an ice bath. This book is for the rest of us.

Let’s start with the good news: despite what your brain might tell you, you are not a failure. You are a human who has failed at something. Life is messy, unexpected and can surprise us at the worst possible time.

This book isn't for the superhuman few; it’s for anyone who has struggled with consistency and has felt like they’re never going to be able to change. The overworked parents, burned-out employees and frustrated people who can’t seem to make progress.

It’s time to stop feeling less than and start making changes that stick – without the guilt.
