This is a joke book – a collection of real conversations I’ve had with my offspring, or that they’ve had with me, mostly against my will. I started keeping records for my own entertainment when they began to talk properly.

Two-year-old: What’s that?
Me: My nipple.
Two-year-old: Is it dead?

I regretted teaching them to speak once pre-adolescence and Covid lockdowns arrived – life phases with equivalent survival strategies and effects.

Nine-year-old: Good news! While you were in your meeting, I finished your puzzle!
Me: …
Nine-year-old: I could see it was too hard for you.

Thirteen-year-old: I don’t like boys.
Me: Okay.
Thirteen-year-old: I like cats.
Me: Okay!
Thirteen-year-old: So … not your daughter, then.

I hope it never ends. Life is a set-up, and parenting is the punchline. As my mother once said, ‘I hope one day you have children. And then we’ll see who’s laughing.’

Vir hom begin alles met ’n besluit: Om mense te nooi vir ete. En dan kom die groot beplanning: die datum, die gaste, die tema en dekor en laaste – maar seker die belangrikste – die spyskaart.

In Herman se tafel bied Herman Lensing tien unieke spyskaarte, elkeen geskoei op ’n tema waarby al die gange – voorgereg, hoofgereg, nagereg en meer – pas. Die keurige geregte in hierdie boek is saamgestel met kundigheid en styl, maar is deurgaans gebruikersvriendelik en aanloklik. Daar is ou Suid-Afrikaanse bekendes, maar ook Italiaanse pastas en ’n Franse nagereg of twee; disse waarin vars kruie die kollig steel, kuierkos vir lank eet, afshow-geregte om jou gaste te beïndruk en ja, selfs happies vir honde. En dan wys hy jou ook hoe om jou tafel te dek: óf met uitspattighede, óf met dit wat jy reeds in jou huis het. Vir Herman is die etenstafel die kern van die huis en van saamwees – van bande versterk en van vriendskappe smee – en ’n simbool van alles wat mooi en goed is. Met hierdie boek nooi Herman jou uit om fees te vier, om moeite te doen, om die lewe te vier en om groot – dog moeiteloos – te kook.

The Journey is a celebration of Naqiyah Mayat's efforts to preserve the art of Indian cooking while learning her own culinary style. It is indeed a journey of growth, from a personal as well as professional perspective. This collection of both simple and decadent Indian recipes is a mix of nostalgia with a modern twist, showing how the essence of Indian cooking can be transferred across generations (and cultures), with each adding a uniqueness of style, taste and presentation.

Food is so much more than just fuel. It’s pleasure. It’s comfort. It’s connection. It’s culture and tradition. It’s celebration. In the same way, Paradise is so much more than just a cookbook. It’s indulgent. It’s decadent. It’s vibrant. It’s unapologetically rich. It’s tropical. It’s African but also global. It’s all about good food – the kind that makes you forget everything else for a moment.
 
Much of today’s messaging around food instils us with feelings of guilt or shame simply for enjoying what we eat. With  Paradise,  Kenneth encourages us to let our hair down, to embrace moments of indulgence, to occasionally treat ourselves and our loved ones. Go ahead, eat that cake. Celebrate friendships with pizza and red wine. Say yes to extra cheese and that second helping.
 
The recipes in  Paradise  are as varied as they are easy and delicious. Experiencing and appreciating the flavours and traditions of a variety of cultures, both regionally and internationally, has given Kenneth a unique outlook on food, allowing him to fuse various culinary traditions to create something truly distinctive. From traditional southern African dishes such as seswaa, mokwetjepe, magwinya and Cape Malay curry to global favourites such as Jamaican oxtail, Korean fried chicken, Vietnamese pho and Mississippi mud pie, Paradise takes classics you know and love, and elevates them to their full potential – using quality ingredients, better techniques and a deep respect for flavour.
 
So be inspired. Be empowered. Explore the art of cooking and discover the pleasure it can bring to your life as you enter Paradise…

Every day we're bombarded with methods, mantras and life hacks that promise us wellness and prosperity - while time and talent remain some of our most squandered resources. The average full-time worker will spend 80,000 hours at their job: are you making the most of them? Do you truly believe in what you do, day in, day out?

What if you want to do something more with your limited time on the planet?

Internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman shows us that with moral ambition - the will to make the world a wildly better place - we can be both idealistic and successful, and change the world along the way. Uncovering the qualities that made the great change-makers of history so effective, he shows how we too can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to inequality to the next pandemic. With moral ambition, we can do more than be on the right side of history: we can make history itself.

This book won't make your life easier, but it should make it more meaningful. The question is: what will you do with it?

A book based on personal journeys during challenging times.

These experiences required me to make choices – some more complex than others. The most significant choice I made was to commit to the fact that the only way out of a challenge, is to get through the challenge. Shortcuts almost always resulted in additional challenges. On my journey I also realized that your capabilities need to be larger than the challenge you face.

I often made the mistake to think “I can do this by myself”. The African proverb “If you want to walk fast, walk alone! But if you want to walk far, walk together!” is true in choosing resilience. I also realized that every person can only be resilient within their own capabilities.

This book provides practical advice supported by research.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Age of Magical Overthinking and Wordslut analyzes the social science of cult influence: how “cultish” groups, from Jonestown and Scientologists to SoulCycle and social media gurus, use language as the ultimate form of power.

What makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join—and more importantly, stay in—extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has . . .

Our culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence, mostly having to do with vague talk of “brainwashing.” But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Kool-Aid. In Cultish, Montell argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology, community, and us/them attitudes all comes down to language. In both positive ways and shadowy ones, cultish language is something we hear—and are influenced by—every single day.

Through juicy storytelling and cutting original research, Montell exposes the verbal elements that make a wide spectrum of communities “cultish,” revealing how they affect followers of groups as notorious as Heaven’s Gate, but also how they pervade our modern start-ups, Peloton leaderboards, and Instagram feeds. Incisive and darkly funny, this enrapturing take on the curious social science of power and belief will make you hear the fanatical language of “cultish” everywhere.
