You become the best you can be by learning from others. That is how bowhunter and ultramarathoner Cameron Hanes approaches each day in his pursuit of greatness in this essential guide to finding success. “I like people who put themselves in a position to become undeniable at what they do. You might not like me, but you cannot deny the work I put in and the results to show for it. You can say whatever the f**k you want, but I want to be undeniable and how it makes you feel is no factor.” Endure, Cameron Hanes’ New York Times bestselling book, demonstrated how to push beyond your physical limits to improve yourself. In Undeniable, Hanes brings together outliers of today―men and women who are experts in their field―to share their unique and motivating perspectives on reaching the pinnacle of success and remaining there. From popular neuroscientist Andrew Huberman to ultramarathon runner Courtney Dauwalter, you will hear how undeniable individuals have obtained their winning mindset. Many books show how to pursue a dream and successfully make it happen, but few spotlight what to do when you’ve reached the pinnacle. After fighting so hard and reaching your goals, how do you stay on top? In his pursuit for greatness, Cam has trained with and interviewed track athletes, MMA fighters, NFL Super Bowl champions and experts in other disciplines. All of them legends who have earned their names. What makes them tick? How do they remain undeniable? In Undeniable, Cam reveals the lessons he has learned from truly exceptional people. By examining their unique traits and abilities, you will earn an edge from these greats and add tools on your own journey toward greatness.
Most of us approach ambition from a place of pain and proving ourselves, while trying to fit into outdated corporate structures that don't represent who we are, or who we want to be. In The Ambition Trap, Amina AlTai encourages you to move from an ambition driven by our core wounds, aka 'wounded striving' towards 'healthy ambition' which rewards a life of balance and integrity. Having worked for years as a coach with clients from business leaders to companies such as Google, Deloitte, Slack and Cartier, celebrities and sports people, let Amina show you how giving up the hustle is key to success, why 'girl bossing' doesn't work if you're headed for burnout, and what healthy ambition looks like in the modern world of quiet quitting.
IT'S NOT YOU. IT'S YOUR BIOLOGY. Modern society is plagued by health epidemics: obesity, record levels of loneliness, increasing mental health problems and various forms of addiction. From the outside, all these issues might seem unrelated. But a single phenomenon actually ties them all together: superstimuli. Superstimuli are exaggerated, unnatural versions of things we have evolved to want and need such as food, sex and social recognition. This hard wired evolutionary response is why we binge on fake ultra-processed food, lust after airbrushed people online, and struggle to stop scrolling on social media, even when it makes us feel bad. Our lack of control isn't because we are weak. It's because powerful companies spend billions creating superstimuli that manipulate our biology for profit, leaving us unhealthy and unhappy as a consequence. Super Stimulated shows how we can resist this hijacking of our natural instincts, recognise superstimulus traps, and take control of our bad habits to live longer, healthier lives.
The highs, the lows and the delightfully neurospicy – this book is for every parent raising the ‘in-between’ children in a neurotypical world. How many times have you heard ‘he doesn’t look autistic’ or ‘she seems fine to me’? Do you sometimes feel alone as a parent, like no one really gets it? And have you ever watched in horror as your child told a friend their house was ‘boring and smelly’?! If any of that sounds familiar, it’s time to throw out the perfect parenting guides and join Lisa Lloyd on this rollercoaster journey of raising neurodivergent children who don’t fit the mainstream but aren’t considered ‘severe’ either. Lisa has been there and is ready to tell all – from the confusion of the early years and discovering your child is neurodivergent, to navigating a school system that doesn’t seem to fit, and the daily frustrations of picking your battles (and losing most of them).

Or what your reaction would be if your seven-year-old grabbed a stranger’s backfat in the changing rooms? Wonder no more! Raising the SEN-Betweeners is a very honest guide for all those parents in similar shoes, navigating the challenges, joys and hilariously unpredictable moments every day. If that is you, this book will make one thing very clear: you are not alone.

In this groundbreaking book, renowned global economist David McWilliams unlocks the mysteries and the awesome power of money: what it is, how it works and why it matters. Money is an epic, breathlessly entertaining journey across the world through the present and the past, from the birthplace of money in ancient Babylon to the beginning of trade along the silk road to China, from Marrakech markets to Wall Street and the dawn of cryptocurrency. By tracking its history McWilliams uncovers our relationship with money, transforming our perspective on its impact on the world right now. The story of money is the story of our desires, our genius and our downfalls. Money has shaped the very essence of what it means to be human. We can’t hope to understand ourselves without it. And yet despite money’s primacy, most of us don’t truly understand it. Where does money come from? How much is out there? Who controls it? Nothing we’ve invented as a species has defined our own evolution so thoroughly and changed the direction of our planet’s history so dramatically. Money is power – and power beguiles. It unleashes our deepest cravings. The story of money is the story of earth’s most inventive, destructive and dangerous animal, Homo Sapiens. It is our story.
A guide to understanding our own trauma and finding ways to recover from it. All of us have – to a greater or lesser extent – suffered from traumas in our lives. The less we address these traumas, the more they have a habit of manifesting as difficulties in the form of broken relationships, anxieties, depression, or even physical symptoms like insomnia and digestive issues. 'From Trauma to Healing' is a practical guide to breaking free of these traumas and finding hope for the future. In four chapters, Causes of Trauma, Symptoms of Trauma, Relocating Trauma, and Processing Trauma, we learn what trauma is, how it can affect us for decades, and how we can liberate ourselves from it in a healthy way. Exercises and question prompts throughout the book, such as word association tests and 'interviewing' the body, demonstrate strategies to recognise trauma and work through them towards healing. Deeply practical and packed with ideas, this is a humane and wise guide to recovering from the past, and creating the happier future we deserve.
From highly influential experts in education and based on research with over 60,000 students, this book comes highly recommended from some the biggest thinkers in personal development today. A powerful new approach to help your teen move from disengagement to drive. Adolescents are hardwired to explore and grow, and learning is mainly how they do this. But a shocking majority of teens are disengaged from school, simultaneously bored and overwhelmed. As parents, we can feel powerless and don’t know how to help – until now. Based on five years of research into why children lose their love of learning, award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson and the Brookings Institution’s global education expert Rebecca Winthrop have created a transformative model that every parent, carer and educator needs to know about. Identifying four modes of learning that every student goes through – resister, passenger, achiever and explorer – you’ll find out why understanding what these are is crucial to your child’s development and how you can coach them to become a curious, resilient and motivated learner. With stories from children who have used the tools in this book to become life-long learners, and with clear strategies on how to become your child’s best cheerleader, this book is essential reading for everyone who wants to help young people thrive.

We think of time as scarce and finite. We say we 'don't have enough time', that 'time is against us', and that 'time waits for no one'. But what if we could make time feel more abundant? How can we make time work for rather than against us? In Time Hacks, Dr Ian Taylor - a world-leading expert in the science of the human mind - draws on the latest psychological research to reveal how we can develop a healthier relationship to time; one where we can break free of the cycle of boredom and mania, be more productive, and bring balance to all parts of our lives. In the process, he demonstrates why all difficult tasks should be done early in the morning, the detrimental effects of relying on willpower, how to use 'be' goals to sustain motivation, and why we should all build 'dead' time into our schedules. Fascinating and eye-opening, Time Hacks will show you how to use the power of psychology to feel less time pressured, boost your mental and physical health, and break free from the tyranny of your alarm clock.

“Parents are constantly concerned about the health and well-being of
their children – physical, emotional and developmental – and often turn
to various resources with conflicting advice.
If you are going to care for someone, you must first understand them.
If you're going to hire, marry, or befriend someone, you have to be
able to see them. If you are going to work closely with someone, you
have to be able to make them feel recognized and valued. As David
Brooks observes, "The older I get, the more I come to the certainty
that there is one skill at the center of any healthy family, company,
classroom, community or nation: the ability to see each other, to know
other people, to make them feel valued, heard and understood."

After artist Joanne Bloch experienced serious sight loss, she felt called to explore what it means to be visually impaired in our society. Unseen gives both her own reflections and those of 20 other South Africans, each told in the unique voice of its contributor. The conversations and stories in Unseen reveal many hidden complexities. They describe sensory and bodily adaptations, as well as the systemic barriers to basic rights that are built into our society. They show the constant need to counter ignorance and hostility and describe the social discomfort and isolation that often come with visual impairment. Yet these are not narratives of passive victims. Instead, they are idiosyncratic, compelling expressions of courage, humour, solidarity and resilience. Most of all, they reflect a determination to live a rich and fulfilling life despite every difficulty. Unseen is not just about loss and struggle; it’s a testament to resilience, adaptation, and the human spirit. Through intimate portraits and thoughtful analysis, Bloch invites readers to reconsider their understanding of sight, disability, and what it means to truly perceive one another in a world that often disregards the visually impaired. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the diverse experiences of disability and the power of human connection.
A guide to the art of journaling – and a meditation on the central questions of life – by the bestselling author of Between Two Kingdoms. For as long as she can remember, Suleika Jaouad has kept a journal. She has used it to mark life's biggest occasions and to ride its roughest waves. It has buoyed her through illness, through heartbreak, and the deepest oceans of uncertainty. And Suleika is not alone.

More than ever, we need a space for puzzling through. Designed to be a companion through challenging times, The Book of Alchemy will explore the art of journaling, offering encouragement, direction, and support to those looking for a way to navigate the in-between. It is designed to expand that space, giving readers tools to engage with discomfort, to ask questions, to peel back the layers, to uncover their truest self – and in doing so, to find clarity and calm, to hold the astonishingly beautiful and the often unbearable facts of life in the same palm.
