The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller
This is the age of addiction, a condition so epidemic, so all encompassing and ubiquitous that unless you are fortunate enough to be an extreme case, you probably don't know that you have it.
What unhealthy habits and attachments are holding your life together? Are you unconsciously dependent on food? Bad relationships? A job that doesn't fulfill you? Numb, constant perusal of your phone, looking for what?
My qualification for writing this book is not that I am better than you, it's that I am worse. I am an addict, addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, money, love and fame.
The program in Recovery has given Russell Brand freedom from all addictions and it will do the same for you.
This system offers nothing less than liberation from self-centredness, a new perspective, freedom from the illusion of suffering for anyone who is willing to take the necessary steps.
From a leading crisis management expert, a breakthrough book about
performance under pressure that will change the way you think about
stress Upshift 1. a movement of a variable to a higher level e.g.
of performance, growth, frequency. When we experience too much
stress, we often feel like shutting down and escaping the source.
Neurologists call this 'downshifting', where your thinking shifts
from the cognitive and creative areas in the brain to the domains
associated with survival. But with too little stress, we become
disengaged and apathetic. So what happens in the middle zone - when
we experience what psychologists call positive stress - and how can
we best make use of it? In Upshift, international thought leader
Ben Ramalingam takes readers on an epic journey from early humans'
survival of the ice age to present times in our inescapable,
pernicious and ever-shifting digital landscape. You will hear
remarkable stories from a vast range of backgrounds, including
scientists, gamers, performers and artists, athletes and health
professionals and everyday people, all of whom carved new routes
around perceived barriers using their powers to upshift. Whether
discussing how city commuters navigate train cancellations to how
astronauts deal with life-threatening incidents, Ramalingam
presents a fascinating argument that we all have the power to
innovate, whether or not we identify ourselves as creative or
extraordinary. In a runaway world that is an engine for perpetual
crisis, Upshift is not only an essential toolkit for survival, it
is a roadmap for positive, and potentially life-changing
transformation and influence. You don't have to shut down - you can
upshift.
A personal code for living a better, happier, more successful kind
of life.

Game might be his best yet' James Marriott, Books of the Year, The
Times What drives our political and moral beliefs? What shapes our
bitterest conflicts and wildest dreams? What makes you, you? Across
the world, from Papua New Guinea to Tokyo and Manhattan, humans
compete for status. Through games of dominance, virtue and success,
it's an obsession that has driven the best and worst of us: the
Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution as well as spree killers
and tyrants at the gates of Europe. But what makes status an
all-consuming prize? And how can we wield our desire for it to
improve our relationships, win social media battles and be the best
in the workplace? A breathtaking rethink of human psychology, The
Status Game will change how you see others - and how you see
yourself.
