Over the past six years, Brené Brown, along with a global community of
coaches and facilitators, has taken more than 150,000 leaders in 45
countries through her Dare to Lead courage-building work. In Strong
Ground, Brown shares the lessons from these experiences along with
wisdom from other thinkers. This is a vital playbook for everyone from
senior leaders developing and executing complex strategies to Gen Z-ers
entering and navigating turbulent work environments. It is also an
unflinching assessment of what happens when we continue to perpetuate
the falsehood that performance and wholeheartedness are mutually
exclusive.
With equal amounts of optimism and caution about AI, Brown writes, 'I
hear a lot of experts trying to soothe people’s anxiety about the pace
of technological change by offering platitudes like, What makes us
human will ensure our relevance. This is dangerous simply because,
right now, we’re not especially good at what makes us human. We’re not
hardwired for this level of uncertainty, and many of us feel as if the
constant need to self-protect is driving the humanity right out of us.
This is why organisational transformation today must foster deep
connection, deep thinking and deep collaboration. We need the courage
to lead people in a way that honours and protects the wisdom of the
human spirit.'
Brown offers a broad assessment of the skill sets and mindsets we need
moving forward, including the capacity for respectful and difficult
conversations, increased productive urgency and smart prioritisation
rather than reactivity, strategic risk-taking, paradoxical thinking and
situational and anticipatory awareness skills. She identifies the
toughest skill set as the discipline, humility and confidence to
unlearn and relearn.
Brown writes, 'Individuals and organisations are building new muscles.
Finding our strong ground ― that athletic stance ― is the only thing
that can provide both unwavering stability in a maelstrom of
uncertainty and a platform for the fast, explosive change that the
world is demanding.'
In Upwards, Karen Dudley invites us on a culinary journey that
transcends the ordinary, encouraging us to look up to what is true and
essential – living simply and well.
In this follow-up to Onwards, Karen, with her signature warmth and
insight, shares how the act of cooking can – and should be – a letting
go of life’s daily preoccupations, a way to connect with ourselves and
others, by paying attention to the pleasure and enjoyment of cooking
something beautiful, delicious and even surprising.
Sharing recipes from a vibrant palette of flavours, Upwards lifts
Karen’s loyal community towards the next level – to learn new skills,
to look up to quality over quantity and to pay attention to the
splendour that can come from the meditative act of cooking. Upwards is
thus a call to be inspired, to create and to connect, all the time
looking up, up, up, as we invite into our kitchens new dishes, new
flavours and new possibilities.
In Timeless South African, renowned cook and food writer Ilse van der
Merwe has compiled a list of the top 101 iconic South African dishes –

different backgrounds, this book celebrates the country’s diverse
cultures and culinary traditions, highlighting the history of each

and Durban naan? The more we share our food and our stories, the more
we’ll be able to celebrate what unites us: being South African.

Stress, burnout and self-doubt aren’t signs of failure. They’re signals
– your mind and body telling you it’s time for a new strategy. Richard
Sutton knows this because he’s lived through it. Growing up in chaos.
Written off by teachers. Knocked down by stress, fear and
failure. But he found a way to reset, rebuild and rise through
implementing a handful of small, science-backed shifts.
In Shift Happens, Richard shares 12 proven tools that helped him – and
thousands of others – to reclaim control, clarity and confidence. These
are the same tools he’s used with Olympic athletes, business leaders,
artists, performers and everyday people facing
extraordinary pressures. You’ll learn how to:
• Use three minutes of cold to release emotional trauma;
• Turn six minutes of movement into a creative breakthrough;
• Rewire your nervous system with breathwork, botanicals and a new
mediation technique; and
• Harness stress to become up to 30% more focused, resilient and
effective.
This isn’t about hacks or hustle. It’s about learning how to respond
differently– so that even when everything around you feels out of
control, you don’t have to be. Are you ready?

Force for Good is a bold and refreshingly balanced exploration of
positive masculinity, written to inspire men to become powerful forces
for good in a world that desperately needs them to step into this role.
The book challenges the extremes that often define the discourse around
masculinity – aggressive dominance on one side and passive
disengagement on the other. It offers a vision of true and healthy
masculinity that is both strong and gentle, fierce and safe, confident
and humble.
At its core is the conviction that men are made to be powerful forces,
but only in service of what is good. Power, often misunderstood or
negatively viewed, is essential. Without it, a man cannot fulfil his
potential or meet the needs of those who depend on him. Power itself is
neutral; how it is used determines whether it becomes a force for good
or harm.
The book is divided into three parts – Being Man, Becoming a Force, and
Doing Good – and builds a compelling case for the value of healthy
masculinity. It explores the internal and external battles men face,
the journey from boyhood to manhood, and the sacred responsibility to
grow in strength and purpose. Force for Good calls men to action, not
against others but for the good of others. It is a timely, courageous
invitation to be all that a man was made to be, because such a man will
be a Force for Good.

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…
