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.

and heritage recipes, or take the time to try new things.
A practical seven-step plan for protecting children from harmful diet culture, and helping parents make peace with their own body image. Too many of us have grown up feeling unhappy with our bodies, harmed by society’s rigid and often unrealistic ‘beauty’ standards. But increasingly, parents and carers don’t want their kids to feel the same pain they did. In Body Confident You, Body Confident Kid, psychologist Dr Charlotte Ord provides easy-to-follow, evidence-based guidance for helping your children develop positive body image, and for freeing yourself from deeply entrenched body-based anxieties. Her plan covers:
Featuring practical exercises, tips and clear takeaways, this ground-breaking, compassionate book is your chance to rewrite the script on body confidence – both for your kids, and for yourself.
Beliefism (noun): Discrimination against people who disagree with us. Do you avoid people who are strongly against immigration? Or strongly for trans rights? Against abortion? For drug legalisation? We might like to think that we're tolerant, but many of us struggle to engage with people whose opinions differ strongly from our own, even if they might have something useful to contribute to the debate. That means we're falling victim to what behavioural scientist Professor Paul Dolan defines as Beliefism: discrimination against those with different beliefs to us. Drawing on the evidence from across the social sciences, Dolan shows how easy it is for us to divide ourselves into opposing camps - and how harmful that can be. Using the central metaphor of the duck-rabbit illusion - where the same image can be viewed as one animal or the other - the book shows that looking at an issue from only one perspective can lead to bad decisions and unnecessary conflict. The world would be a better place if there was less beliefism and Dolan shows how more tolerance is only possible "by design". We need to embed less beliefism into our organisations and lives and he provides a checklist called EMBRACE to help us do that. Combining curiosity, irreverence and warmth, Beliefism is a definitive behavioural science take by a leader in his field. Whether it's among friends, at university or at work, being less beliefist will make you a better partner or parent, and a more effective buddy or boss.
Who am I really? What have I done? What is important and meaningful to
me? What difference does it make that I have lived? What does it mean
to be truly human, and where am I on that scale?

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.

Learn how to harness the awesome power of momentum! Despite overwhelming belief among leaders in sports, business, politics, and the military, that momentum is a real, non-random occurrence and that a decisive edge can be gained through it, there has been no comprehensive effort to elucidate the shared aspects of momentum, or to bring to light what can be done to manipulate its causes and effects. In other words: while most believe that momentum is real – nobody has articulated how teams can recognize the initial “spark” of momentum, nurture it, and ultimately shape its course. Now, in this groundbreaking new book, bestselling author Don Yaeger and leadership expert Bernie Banks reveal the forces behind turning a moment into momentum. After conducting over 100 hours of interview with top leaders it the areas of military, business, and sports, they have developed a novel model for how momentum originates and also how it is sustained.

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. |
