Bonang Mohale is a highly respected South African businessman, who is known as much for his patriotism and his active role in seeking to advance his country’s interests as for the leading role he has played in companies like Otis Elevators, Shell South Africa and South African Airways, among others. Developed over 30 years of business experience, his insights have motivated change in organisations and individuals alike.

As CEO of Business Leadership South Africa, he frequently shares his insights through speeches and articles on the role of business in South Africa and the core tenets of leadership. Lift As You Rise is a compilation of some of his spoken and written words in which Mohale reveals the issues he is passionate about – among them transformation, people development, constructive collaboration and integrity – and how they came to define his career and his life. He looks into the ideas behind his words and offers fresh thoughts on the subjects they cover.

This well-balanced compilation is enhanced by contributions from others he has mentored or met on his journey which underscore who Mohale the man is – a fearless and energetic leader whose compassion, humanity and eternal optimism promote hope and encourage action.

There is value in this book for leaders in all walks of life, but it is Mohale’s hope that young people specifically, those rising through the ranks, will find his insights and experience inspiring – for they are the country’s future leaders.

PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?

ME: I don't know, I'm-what's the word-depressed? Do I have to go into detail?

Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her-what to call it?-depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgmental of others. She hides her feelings well at work, but the effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favorite street food: the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?

Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a twelve-week period, and expanding on each session with her own reflective micro-essays, Baek begins to disentangle the harmful behaviors that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.

Twenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with “curiosity and humor” in this New York Times bestseller that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a startling and revealing light (Shannon Carlin). ​

Why is Miami…Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns for the first time in twenty-five years to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena.
 
Through a series of riveting stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering. He takes us to the streets of Los Angeles to meet the world’s most successful bank robbers, rediscovers a forgotten television show from the 1970s that changed the world, visits the site of a historic experiment on a tiny cul-de-sac in northern California, and offers an alternate history of two of the biggest epidemics of our day: COVID and the opioid crisis. Revenge of the Tipping Point is Gladwell’s most personal book yet. With his characteristic mix of storytelling and social science, he offers a guide to making sense of the contagions of modern world. It’s time we took tipping points seriously.

When we learn from each other, that’s when we learn more about ourselves.

With a radio career spanning more than three decades, Thabo “T-Bose” Mokwele brings topics to the airwaves that challenge and invoke human introspection and dialogue with his audience. And through this he has learned a lot about life and its nuances. Pause is a collection of Thabo’s observations, reflections and learnings about what life is about. Simply put, this is the book he wishes he had read before starting his adult life journey.

Pause is a compilation of Thabo’s pearls of wisdom and lessons about life, God, money, relationships, parenting and, most importantly, self-mastery. His knowledge has been acquired by reading other philosophers’ views on life and love, from interviewing entrepreneurs and entertainers about self-sufficiency, and preachers and teachers about self-mastery. This, you may say, is his ‘bible’; to drive his life, and a lens through which he views his existence.

Thabo shares what he knows, what he practises and what still challenges him. It’s a book that everyone, from teens to adults, should read for a glimpse, and as a guide, to living a life that is meaningful.

We learn from our mistakes, but some mistakes are costly and should never be repeated. And if reading a short chapter on a particular topic can help mould a young person’s life, or assist an adult to self-correct, then Pause is a must-read.

"I’ve always been told that if I was good, I’d attract good things. So then, why am I unhappy?"

From a young age, women are taught to put everyone else first. The result? A society full of ‘Good Girls’, pushing themselves to meet expectations while ignoring their own needs. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

In this whip-smart and empowering book, psychotherapist Marta Martínez Novoa explains that people pleasing is not a personality failing, but a common response to trauma – an instinct to become more appealing to a threat, and a way to feel safe. Taking you on a journey into your past, this book will help you understand why you feel the way you do in the present, and gives you practical tools to build a future where you feel bolder, safer and more confident in everything you do.

If you’re done being a people pleaser and ready to start living for you, this is your toolkit to wake up and finally take charge.

Bestselling author, life coach and sociologist Martha Beck explains why 'integrity' - being in harmony with ourselves - is the key to a meaningful and joyful life

In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us-people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits-all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.

Inspired by The Divine Comedy, Beck uses Dante's classic hero's journey as a framework to break down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps. She shows how to read our internal signals that lead us towards our true path, and to recognize what we actually yearn for versus what our culture sells us.

With techniques tested on hundreds of her clients, Beck brings her expertise as a social scientist, life coach and human being to help readers to uncover what integrity looks like in their own lives. She takes us on a spiritual adventure that not only will change the direction of our lives, but bring us to a place of genuine happiness.

In Making Sense of Me, Victoria Hall shares the lessons she learnt from rebuilding herself after being overwhelmed by the challenges she faced in her life. She takes you on a journey of self-discovery, using her life experiences and neuroscientific insights into human behaviour to help you find yourself. You will learn that in order to even contemplate change, you need to accept where you are in life and who you are today. Asking for help, slowing down and understanding your emotions are critical in this process. Victoria teaches that you must align with your beliefs but keep in mind that as much as our beliefs anchor us, they sometimes limit us. It is critical to have the right people around you to provide support as you embark on this fascinating and life changing journey of self-discovery. If you struggle with your responses to life experiences, this is the book for you. The change begins with you.

A research-backed framework to help you accomplish your most ambitious goals by honing and harnessing your most powerful yet underutilised resource: intuition.

What sets the most successful people apart? While hard work is certainly a factor, Professor Laura Huang's extensive research – spanning entrepreneurs, investors, Olympic athletes and Pulitzer Prize winners – reveals that their greatest asset is something less tangible: intuition. That instinctive ‘gut feeling’ often determines who seizes opportunities and who misses them.

In You Already Know, Laura breaks down the science behind intuition, explaining how it is formed from external data, accumulated wisdom and the subconscious insights we don’t even realise we have. What follows is a gut feeling, which shifts our perspective and drives us to act.

Grounded in Huang’s pioneering research and enriched with insights from hundreds of illuminating interviews, this book offers a practical model for becoming better at recognising, understanding and enhancing your intuition to accomplish your most ambitious goals. What’s stopping you from unlocking your full potential? You already know.

The essential guide to mental health from the bestselling author of The School of Life.

A Therapeutic Journey follows the arc from mental crisis and collapse to convalescence and recovery. Written with kindness, knowledge and sympathy, it is both a practical guide and a source of consolation and companionship in what might be some of our loneliest, most anguished moments.

Alain de Botton explores how we can cope with a variety of forms of mental pain and illness, from the mild to the severe. It considers how and why we might become ill; how we can explain things to friends, family and colleagues; how we can find our ways towards recovery; and how we can build resilience, so as to live wisely alongside our difficulties.

At heart this is a book about redemption - about regaining the thread of our lives, rediscovering meaning, and finding our way back to connection, warmth and joy
