Have you ever felt lonelier in a relationship than when you were on your own? Know that you are not alone.

Because I Love You is a book of stories — but not fiction. These are the real experiences of three women: Zara, Mira and Thuli. Their lives are distinct but they all experience emotional manipulation, psychological control, the slow erosion of self.

Each woman’s story unfolds in full – beginning, middle and not always a clean end – amid fragments of the author’s story, woven quietly through the seams of the book.

The carnivore diet has been touted as a revolutionary, radical new approach to health, healing and fat loss. In truth, it’s simply a powerful, stripped-down form of ketogenic eating: essentially zero-carb, nutrient-dense, free from junk and refreshingly simple.

Chances are you’ve already heard about it, seen a few videos, or even know someone who’s tried it. But what should be an easy and effective lifestyle has become clouded by extremes. The best approach depends on your own unique biology, lifestyle and goals. And Living the Ultimate Carnivore Lifestyle is here to help you figure out what that is.

It’s a practical, adaptable guide designed to give you the tools and confidence to take control. Whether you want to reduce inflammation, heal your relationship with food, improve mental clarity or lose fat, this book will help you build a lifestyle that works for you.

Part 1 elaborates on strict carnivore, relaxed carnivore and ketovore and how to find the right fit. It gives clear advice on creating a sustainable lifestyle with a complete four-phase implementation guide. It shows how to identify food triggers and answers questions on cholesterol, insulin, fibre and plant toxins, and teaches how to handle social pressure.

Part 2 has easy-to-follow meal plans and shopping lists, while Parts 3 and 4 provide over 80 recipes to take the guesswork out of your journey, and a bonus entertainer menu for social occasions.

The ultimate perimenopause bible, from pioneering women's health advocate and #1 New York Times bestselling author, Dr Mary Claire Haver.

I’m just not feeling like myself! This is the battle cry of the perimenopausal woman.

Though menstrual cycle changes and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies them are the hallmarks of the transition to menopause, many women with regular periods as young as 35 can also start to feel irregular, with symptoms that include anxiety, fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, sexual symptoms and volatile moods. This can be hugely disruptive – all the more so when a doctor dismisses a woman’s complaints as all in her head or prescribes unnecessary and potentially harmful treatment.

In The New Perimenopause, Dr Mary Claire Haver – the trailblazing voice behind the movement to revolutionise health care for women – sets things straight. She explains that the numerous and varied symptoms of perimenopause occur in direct response to normal endocrine changes; this is the hormonal 'zone of chaos.'

A comprehensive, authoritative book of science-backed information and lived experience, The New Perimenopause includes:

• Clear, science-backed explanations of what's going on in your body, from changes in your menstrual cycle to energy levels, mood, sleep and sexual issues.
• How and why dealing with these changes now is preventative medicine for your later years.
• Checklists, questions for your doctor and how to insist on good care.
• The very latest research on the benefits and side effects of progesterone therapy to help ease your hormonal transition.
• Whether you have symptoms or not, The New Perimenopause helps remove the mystery around this time of change, putting women in control of their health going forward.

The New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause explains everything a woman needs to know to thrive during the often-misdiagnosed and medically ignored perimenopausal years.

Jim Collins, international bestselling author of Good to Great, offers transformative lessons on constructing ― and reconstructing ― a life through the cliff moments and transitions we all will face repeatedly in our lives.

What to make of a life?

It is a question we all wrestle with more than once. How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs, significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late?

Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analysing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog.

His exploration compares various lives side by side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken.

• Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success.
• Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and then left with the puzzle of what to do next.
• Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives.
• Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end.

What emerges from Collins’s extensive studies ― of writers, actors, scientists, leaders, and many others ― is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained, and constantly renewed.

The greatest treasure in the spiritual life is not faith, but love.

Love is humankind’s supreme gift and the core of internationally beloved author, Paulo Coelho’s, message. In The Supreme Gift he adapts the classic wisdom of the 19th century biologist, Henry Drummond St Paul, offering a powerful message that will help us incorporate love into our daily lives to experience all its transformational power.

Henry Drummond defined love as the culmination of 9 elements: patience, kindness, generosity, humility, gentleness, dedication, tolerance, sincerity and innocence. Reflecting on this, Paulo Coelho brings us on his own journey of deepening his practice of love.

Departure(s) is the story of a man called Stephen and a woman called Jean, who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. It is the story of an elderly Jack Russell called Jimmy, enviably oblivious to his own mortality.

It is also the story of how the body fails us, whether through age, illness, accident or intent. And it is the story of how experiences fade into anecdotes, and then into memory. Does it matter if what we remember really happened? Or does it just matter that it mattered enough to be remembered?

It begins at the end of life – but it doesn’t end there. Ultimately, it’s about the only things that ever really mattered: how we find happiness in this life, and when it is time to say goodbye.

Tuesday 15 December 2020. Mum diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer.

SHOULD I GO BE WITH MUM?

From across the seas that divided us, over the next seven months, that question would twist inside me, helplessly, desperately. I had understood, but not in the truest way of knowing, that this, right here, was the beginning of sorrow. I began writing letters to my mother. I knew I was taking notes of the end.

Bring us Home from Sorrow is an intimate portrait of losing a mother and the ways we are kept apart from those we love by distance, disease and death.

It is also a celebration of the salvation of ocean swimming through bereavement and the slow return to a world forever changed by the loss.

A science-based, practical blueprint for cultivating a life – at work and at home – full of a sense of belonging, joy and vitality, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Culture Code

In his new book, bestselling author Daniel Coyle trains his expert eye on the people who have demonstrated exceptional powers of dynamism and connectivity, and teases out their secrets.

The Dutch community that sparked urban renewal through a smart system of self-organisation. The delicatessen in Michigan that has grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise, not by writing business plans but by shaping attentional space – focussing on how people show up, listen and engage. From such remarkable stories of individual and group achievement, Coyle distils the core dynamics that make them possible – and, in the process, shows how small, deliberate shifts in how we think and interact can create extraordinary impact.

Whether you are seeking a deeper sense of personal contentment or aspiring to transform a team or community, Flourish is the indispensable guide to shaping the future you want.

Find your way to happiness with this wise, inspiring journey into the spiritual heart of Japan.

In Eight Million Ways to Happiness, Hiroko Yoda invites readers on a transformative journey into the traditions that shape Japanese life. While millions have found inspiration in ideas like ikigai or The Courage to Be Disliked, Hiroko reveals the deeper traditions that quietly infuse Japan's culture, drawn from Shinto, Buddhism, and the mountain mysticism of Shugendo.

These aren't abstract philosophies. They are living practices that integrate so seamlessly with modern secular life, even natives can forget they are there. Reconnecting with them helped Hiroko find light after profound loss – and realise that they offer powerful tools for anyone seeking meaning, connection or peace in their own life.

Through vivid storytelling and immersive experiences – dancing at Shinto shrines, climbing sacred peaks, and meeting mystics – Hiroko shows how Japan's flexible approach to spirituality helps kindle gratitude, connection and kinship with nature. What emerges are practical insights and gentle guidance to spark joy, find balance, and discover what truly matters.

Whether you're grieving, searching, or simply curious, this book is a reminder: there are millions of ways to be happy. You just have to find yours.
