"I've fallen in love with Jamie's words and how she so effortlessly
can make us feel united with them. She has a true gift of helping
us realize that all of our 'human' moments are what make us so
special. She is a real light in this world." -Lucy Hale,
Award-Winning Actress from Pretty Little Liars, The Hating Game,
and more Blending memoir, sharp social insights, and unique
practical tools, author Jamie Varon is your guide to radical
contentment-a satisfied life outside the bounds of societal
expectations. Too many of us are waiting for our lives to begin,
putting our happiness on layaway for some future version where it
all lines up, when we've accomplished it all, when we have the
perfect career, bodies, partners, and when our lives finally feel
"good enough." But what is good enough? Who gets to decide? And
when do we ever reach it? Jamie takes a sharp, incisive look at the
industries that are constantly telling us to do more, be more, and
keep striving, pushing, and hustling-and shows you how to radically
opt out of societal conditioning. We've learned to be terrified of
contentment, thinking it will lead us to complacency. Yet, being
content in a world that profits off our dissatisfaction is not
complacency. It's revolutionary. Radically Content makes the case
for a new framework of living. Exploring themes like guilt, I'll be
happy when..., anxiety, settling, control, healing, shame,
self-trust, and being our own worst enemies-not only will you
unlearn the dogma of that discontent, but learn practical tools to
create a more satisfied life for yourself, including: Cultivating
real self-trust Defining your own version of "success" Living with
intention Rewriting your personal narrative Creating consistent and
healing rituals Packed with revelatory insights, Radically Content
is an exhale. A respite from the chaos of our current world. A calm
place to land when you've had enough with trying to be enough.
If you want to make a difference, make a change or make your mark
on the world but just don't know how to start, here's the answer.

When I Loved Myself Enough is a beautiful collection of wisdom that is startling in its simplicity. By the end of the book the message becomes clear: loving yourself holds the key to loving others and having others love you. By sharing her insights, the author also shows us how to feel the same sense of peace and quiet joy that illuminated her life.
This book began as one woman's gift to the world, hand-made by Kim McMillen and handed out to friends. After Kim's death her daughter Alison continued making the books - and word of mouth turned this into an underground bestseller in America. Today, over two decades later, it brings comfort and inspiration to readers around the world.
Literacy. Numeracy. Oracy?
For generations our education system has been built on the twin pillars
of literacy and numeracy. But what if a third – and equally vital –
pillar has been ignored? Enter oracy: communicating effectively,
articulating ideas and engaging with others through spoken language.
In this persuasive and powerful manifesto, Neil Mercer calls for oracy,
as a subject and a set of skills, to have equal footing alongside
literacy and numeracy. Oracy can and must be taught, so that students
leave school not only as readers and writers, but as accomplished
speakers and listeners. Mercer incisively shows how oracy education has
nothing to do with speaking ‘proper’, or eliminating style, slang and
regional accents, but instead about empowering people to find and
express their own voice. In fact, oracy is a key driver of cognitive
development, academic attainment and social mobility – helping every
young person to achieve their potential and challenge the inequalities
of language and power.
Oracy: The Transformative Power of Finding Your Voice is the first book
to bring this important step change in educational and social thinking
to a wider audience. But it is also practical: a guide to how to use
talk to teach critical thinking and find creative solutions to life’s
burning issues. After all, the impact of oracy doesn’t stop at the
school gates: we all need oracy skills for our personal relationships,
professional networks and social lives.

The empowering, inspiring, patriarchy-smashing first book by the TikTok
and Spotify star Drew Afualo.
Drew Afualo is best known as the internet’s 'Crusader for Women' and is
at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars, with
more than nine million followers across her social platforms. She soon
realized that men on social media were creating sexist content aimed at
disparaging women, and also containing rampant fatphobia, racism, and
other forms of bigotry with very real-life consequences. It didn’t take
long for her to step into the role of unofficial watchdog for misogyny,
and her signature laugh is now recognized as a feminist call to arms.
Loud is part manual, part manifesto and part memoir. It is a summoning
cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of terrible
men and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals. Above all,
it makes it clear that behind Drew’s fearsome laugh is a mission and a
life philosophy, a strategy for self-confidence from the inside out,
and a pathway to once and for all remove men from the centre of how
women and fems think about themselves.
From big cities to farm communities, from office cubicles to
hospital wards, from Normandy Beach to Boston's Fenway Park, the
contributors to this remarkable volume -- selected from among
thousands in a nationwide search --- tell riveting stories about
the words that changed their lives forever.
This is a practical guide to manifesting aligned abundance from a place of regulation, embodiment and joy. A powerful manifesting book like no other, it will bring the reader into alignment with themselves and manifest their deepest desires with ease.
It cuts through the myths that over complicate the manifesting process and gets you manifesting from an aligned space of flow where you don’t chase your goals but instead attract aligned abundance with ease.
No hustling, goal chasing or complex practices.
Emma's tried-and-tested methods guide the reader on a journey to discovering alignment within themselves and with their desires, in order to unlock and magnetise abundance in all areas of their life.
The book is based on three easy-to-absorb teachings – Attract, Alignment and Abundance – and ties into the sell-out course Emma started offering to her followers in 2022.
Emma's fresh approach to the Law of Attraction and spirituality is relatable, simple, practical and no-nonsense. Her advice has been shown to work in her own life: she is living proof that with the Law of Attraction you really can live a life full of happiness, fulfilment and joy.
