‘The voice of reason for a generation of… mums and dads’ –
The Guardian Wildly popular parenting expert Dr Becky Kennedy
shares her groundbreaking approach to raising kids in a way that
feels good. Over the past several years, Dr Becky Kennedy—known
to her followers as ‘Dr Becky’—has been sparking a parenting
revolution. Millions of parents, tired of following advice that
either doesn’t work or simply doesn’t feel good, have embraced
Dr Becky’s empowering and effective approach, a model that
prioritises connecting with our kids over correcting them. From
reward charts to time-outs, many popular parenting approaches are
based on shaping behaviour, not raising humans. These techniques
don’t build the skills kids need for life or account for their
complex emotional needs. Add to that parents’ complicated
relationships with their own upbringings and it’s easy to see why
so many of them feel lost, burned out, and worried they’re
failing their kids. In Good Inside, Dr Becky shares her parenting
philosophy, complete with actionable strategies, that will help
parents move from uncertainty and self-blame to confidence and
sturdy leadership. Offering perspective-shifting parenting
principles and troubleshooting for specific scenarios—including
sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, tantrums, and more—Good
Inside is a comprehensive resource for a generation of parents
looking for a new way to raise their kids while still setting them
up for a lifetime of self-regulation, confidence, and resilience.
The secret to productivity isn’t discipline. It’s joy.
We think that productivity is all about hard work. That the road to success is lined with endless frustration and toil. But what if there’s another way?
Dr Ali Abdaal – the world's most-followed productivity expert – has uncovered an easier and happier path to success. Drawing on decades of psychological research, he has found that the secret to productivity and success isn't grind – it's feeling good. If you can make your work feel good, then productivity takes care of itself.
In this revolutionary book, Ali reveals how the science of feel-good productivity can transform your life. He introduces the three hidden 'energisers' that underpin enjoyable productivity, the three 'blockers' we must overcome to beat procrastination, and the three 'sustainers' that prevent burnout and help us achieve lasting fulfillment. He recounts the inspiring stories of founders, Olympians, and Nobel-winning scientists who embody the principles of Feel-Good Productivity. And he introduces the simple, actionable changes that you can use to achieve more and live better, starting today.
Armed with Ali’s insights, you won’t just accomplish more. You’ll feel happier and more fulfilled along the way.

CHESTER - A visit to the rapid where she lost a cherished friend
unexpectedly reignites Amy-Jane Beer’s love of rivers setting her
on a journey of natural, cultural and emotional discovery. On New
Year’s Day 2012, Amy-Jane Beer’s beloved friend Kate set out
with a group of others to kayak the River Rawthey in Cumbria. Kate
never came home, and her death left her devoted family and friends
bereft and unmoored. Returning to visit the Rawthey years later,
Amy realises how much she misses the connection to the natural
world she always felt when on or close to rivers, and so begins a
new phase of exploration. The Flow is a book about water, and, like
water, it meanders, cascades and percolates through many lives,
landscapes and stories. From West Country torrents to Levels and
Fens, rocky Welsh canyons, the salmon highways of Scotland and the
chalk rivers of the Yorkshire Wolds, Amy-Jane follows springs,
streams and rivers to explore tributary themes of wildness and
wonder, loss and healing, mythology and history, cyclicity and
transformation. Threading together places and voices from across
Britain, The Flow is a profound, immersive exploration of our
personal and ecological place in nature.
