'Simply wonderful.' - BEN FOGLE 'Kate's book has the warmth and
calming effect of a log fire and a glass of wine. Unknit your brow
and let go. It's a treat.' - GARETH MALONE 'Kate Humble pours her
enviable knowledge into attainable goals. It's a winning
combination and the prize - a life in balance with nature - is
definitely worth claiming.' - LUCY SIEGLE 'As ever, where Kate
leads, I follow. She has made me reassess and reset.' - DAN SNOW
'Kate Humble's new book is a lesson in moving on from a tragedy and
finding our place in the world' - WOMAN & HOME 'A Year of
Living Simply is timely, given that the pandemic has forced most of
us, in some way to simplify our lives, whether we planned to or
not. Kate wrote it before any of us were aware of the upcoming
crisis, but it captures the current moment perfectly... It's not
necessarily a "how to" book, more of a "why not try?" approach.' -
FRANCESCA BABB, MAIL ON SUNDAY YOU 'What I particularly love is her
philosophy for happiness, which is the subject of her new book, A
Year of Living Simply. The clue is in the title. Remember the
basics. Instead of barging through the day on autopilot, really
stop to think about the tiniest little things that added a moment
of joy. No, of course stopping and smelling the flowers won't cure
all our ills and woes. But taking the time to savour the things
that bring pleasure, really being in that moment and appreciating
it, can remind you that most days have moments that buoy your
mood.' - JO ELVIN, MAIL ON SUNDAY YOU If there is one thing that
most of us aspire to, it is, simply, to be happy. And yet attaining
happiness has become, it appears, anything but simple. Having stuff
- The Latest, The Newest, The Best Yet - is all too often peddled
as the sure fire route to happiness. So why then, in our
consumer-driven society, is depression, stress and anxiety ever
more common, affecting every strata of society and every age, even,
worryingly, the very young? Why is it, when we have so much, that
many of us still feel we are missing something and the rush of
pleasure when we buy something new turns so quickly into a feeling
of emptiness, or purposelessness, or guilt? So what is the route to
real, deep, long lasting happiness? Could it be that our lives have
just become overly crowded, that we've lost sight of the things -
the simple things - that give a sense of achievement, a feeling of
joy or excitement? That make us happy. Do we need to take a step
back, reprioritise? Do we need to make our lives more simple? Kate
Humble's fresh and frank exploration of a stripped-back approach to
life is uplifting, engaging and inspiring - and will help us all
find balance and happiness every day.

'A phenomenal book full of wisdom, practical advice and humour to
change your life for the better' Fearne Cotton - Broadcaster,
bestselling author and mental health champion 'What a personal,
thorough and beautiful book from an energetic and insightful
writer. Very accessible and funny.' Russell Brand - Author,
broadcaster, actor, podcaster, columnist and mental health &
drug rehabilitation activist At 47, Amanda Byram is in the shape of
her life, both mentally and physically, but for over two decades
she was trapped in a cycle of yo-yo dieting and self-criticism,
convinced that unless she was 'perfect' she wouldn't be happy or
worthy. By the time she reached her 40th birthday, she was mentally
and physically exhausted ... something had to change. The Switch is
a distillation of all the simple and life-changing techniques, tips
and tricks she used to get herself off the 'perfection treadmill'
once and for all. She shares how to silence the critical internal
voices that hold us back, and how to ditch diets for good and eat
and exercise in a way that will give you power, not problems.
Switch to a balanced lifestyle where food, fitness, family, friends
and self-care are all in sync and discover the happiest and
healthiest version of yourself - a life-changing guide for a lean
and serene future! 'Amanda is a master of emotional reinvention.
Using her own experiences and Switch method she has helped, guided
and supported both those very close to her and those she has never
even met. Amanda has never been afraid to break down the stigmas of
mental health, using her generosity, honesty and wit.' Gok Wan -
Broadcaster and mental health ambassador 'The Switch is a powerful
reminder that being kind to yourself is the first step toward
improving your health, both mental and physical. Thorough,
thought-provoking, and immensely helpful for anyone who wants to
make a positive change in their life-not just their body. I loved
it!' Sarah Knight - Bestselling author of the No F*cks Given Guides
'For anyone serious about making the switch to a healthier mind and
body, this book is an absolute gem. It's packed full of wisdom,
insight and clinically evidenced guidance. Definitely a lifetime
companion.' Owen O'Kane - Bestselling self-help author and
psychotherapist 'It's really really lovely' Alison Curtis, Today FM
'I would highly recommend, it really is good' Colm Hayes, Breakfast
with Colm and Lucy, Radio Nova 'I am really impressed and I've
learned a lot from it' Lucy Kennedy interviewed in Woman's Way 'A
beautiful book. It was an eye-opener into all the ways I'm MANE to
myself and is full of inspiring tips on how to be kinder, written
in a funny, friendly way. Honestly! It's so uplifting.' Marian
Keyes 'It's a really really great book' Maura Derrane, The Today
Show 'Beautiful' Daithi O'Shea, The Today Show
Not every PhD becomes a professor. Some never want to, but others
discover-too late and ill-prepared to look elsewhere-that there's
precious little room in today's ivory tower, and what's there might
not be a good fit. For those leaving academia, or wanting out, or
finding themselves adrift, this book offers hope, advice, and a
bracing look at how others facing the same quandary have made
careers outside of the academy work. All of the authors in this
volume, as well as the editors, have built successful careers
beyond the groves of academia-as freelance editors and writers,
consultants and lecturers, librarians, realtors, and
entrepreneurs-and each has a compelling story to tell. Their
accounts afford readers a firsthand view of what it takes to
transition from professor to professional. They also give plenty of
practical advice, along with hard-won insights into what making a
move beyond the academy might entail-emotionally, intellectually,
and, not least, financially. Imparting what they wish they'd known
during their PhDs, these writers aim to spare those who follow in
their uncertain footsteps. Together their essays point the way out
of the "tenure track or bust" mindset and toward a world of
different but no less rewarding possibilities.
Looking for a cleaner home without the upkeep taking over your
whole life? Those of us living in the real world know that it can
be challenging to keep a clean and tidy home. Busy lifestyles,
shared housing, physical limitations or mental health issues can
all contribute to making a once calm environment feel daunting and
stressful. The Unf*ck Your Habitat system in Less Mess, Less Stress
works with you, not against you, and shows how just thirty minutes
(including a ten minute break!) can transform any space. With
low-effort, high-reward tricks, tips, lists and challenges, Rachel
Hoffman's reassuring guide is full of no-nonsense advice and
practical help on things you can do today for a less messy
tomorrow. While this book won't wash your dishes or fold your
laundry, it will give you all the tools you'll need to stay on top
because everyone deserves - and can have - a home with less mess
and less stress. Previously published as Unf*ck Your Habitat:
