Do you worry about what other people think of you? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? 
 
For too long, our value and self-worth has been tied to pleasing others. We've dimmed our true selves to fit in – no matter the cost. But there's always a cost. People-pleasing and staying likeable means suppressing our feelings, words, actions, and desires, and there's only so much we can conceal before it all unravels. 
 
Throughout my life, I've morphed into who others needed me to be, taken on too much responsibility for other people’s sh*t, put myself down, and stayed quiet – all in the hope of being liked. But no more. Now, I'm asking: What do I want? … And do I even like myself? 
 
This book holds a light up to all the times I wish I’d broken free of the worry cycle, said goodbye to the ‘good girl’ attitude, and put happiness first. I wrote it so you can do the same. You can't please everyone. So let's stop trying.

Forget the fads and transform your health with the unsung hero of the nutrition world – FIBRE. 
 
Fibre is known for its unsexy reputation of keeping people ‘regular’ – but the truth is, it benefits us in so many more ways. Fibre can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and colon cancer while also lowering inflammation, boosting the health of our gut microbiome and brain and making us less susceptible to depression. Yet here in the UK, we’re only eating 16g a day, when the science says we should be getting 30g. 
 
In The Fibre Effect, readers will not only discover how easy it is – once you know how – to hit that 30g a day, but that fibre is far from brown, boring bland bran we thought it was. It’s Maple Pecan Baked Pears, Crispy Garlic Beans and Coconut Lentils with Crispy Kale. 
 
Unlike restrictive diets or calorie counting, Emma Bardwell’s science-backed approach guides you effortlessly towards better digestion, immunity, hormone regulation, metabolic health, blood sugar balance and weight loss – all by helping you focus on what to add to your diet, not what to take away. 
 
Through practical, feel-good advice and over 60 delicious recipes to help you eat all the fibre your body deserves, The Fibre Effect will show you how to reap the benefits of this unsung hero, helping you feel your very best.

'If your ADHD brain has made you believe you’re the problem, let this be your reminder: you’re not. You just need the right support, the right language and a whole lot of self-compassion.' 
 
In this compassionate and empowering toolkit, Emma Llewellyn will guide you through rumination and spiralling thoughts, explaining why they happen and how you can learn to manage your mind every day. Instead of trying to 'fix' your neurodivergent brain or 'recover' from your diagnosis, Calm Your ADHD Brain will validate your experience and equip you with simple, practical tools to help your brain feel less overwhelmed. 
 
With easy-to-follow tips, bite-sized information and personal experiences of living with ADHD, this book will help you challenge your overthinking mind, transform your uncontrollable thoughts and turn frustration into self-compassion. Your brain is not broken. It doesn't need fixing. And you can work with it, not against it.

Your toolkit to manage spiralling thoughts

'For anyone who has wondered whether they'll ever be in charge of their emotions, this book has the answer: yes' - Angela Duckworth, author of Grit 
 
'This book does much more than make sense of emotions – it breaks new ground on how to manage them' - Adam Grant, author of Think Again 
 
Whether it’s anxiety about the dentist, boiling rage when we’re stuck in traffic or devastation after a painful break-up, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiralling. But as difficult as our emotions can be, they are also a superpower. When they’re activated in the right ways and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, telling us how to react to a situation and helping us make the right choices. 
 
But how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Acclaimed psychologist Dr Ethan Kross has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In Shift, he dispels common myths – for instance, that avoidance is toxic or that we should always strive to live in the moment – and provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don’t take over our lives. 
 
Shift weaves groundbreaking research with riveting stories of people struggling and succeeding to manage their emotions – from a mother whose fear prompted her to make a spur-of-the-moment decision that would save her daughter’s life mid-flight to a nuclear code-carrying Navy SEAL who learned how to embrace both joy and pain during a hellish training activity. Dr Kross shows us that we already have access to a wide array of tools and demonstrates how to harness them to be healthier and more successful. 
 
Filled with actionable advice, cutting-edge research and inspiring stories, Shift puts the power back into our hands, so we can control our emotions without them controlling us – and help others do the same. 
 
'Packed with gems of wisdom and endless actionable advice on emotional regulation, Shift is essential reading for everyone. I couldn’t put it down’ – Chris Evans

Grief doesn’t need to be ‘fixed’ – here’s the support you really need. 
 
When a painful loss or life-shattering event upends your world, the first thing to know is there is nothing wrong with grief. ‘Grief is simply love in its most wild and painful form,’ says Megan Devine, and ‘it is a natural and sane response to loss.’ So, why does our culture treat grief like a disease to be cured as quickly as possible? 
 
In It’s OK That You’re Not OK – a new classic that has already helped thousands of people – grief expert Megan Devine offers a profound new approach to both our own experience of grief and the way we support others.

- Why well-meaning advice can make it harder for people in grief 
- Why doing away with stages, timetables and unrealistic ideals is key 
- How to manage stress and anxiety – and improve sleep – without ‘fixing’ pain 
 
Whether you are grieving yourself or supporting someone else, this much-loved book will give you the skills to face loss with strength and grace, and, most importantly, build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it.

A radical approach to collective healing, restoring wholeness and reclaiming your true self

Through practical exercises such as meditation and reflections, this book will help you release the beliefs and emotions that are burdening you.

IT'S TIME TO START LIVING LIKE YOU MATTER TOO

Drawing on somatic therapy, neuroscience and psychology, alongside highly effective coaching tools and techniques, Suzy presents seven steps to guide you towards reclaiming your peace and your power. We can only become calmer, stronger, well-rested people by prioritising ourselves and also allowing others to fill up our cup. It is time to receive!

This cutting-edge resource from Dr Heather Hirsch is your one-stop guide to surviving and thriving in perimenopause.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. 
 
The Perimenopause Survival Guide is the ultimate resource for understanding the hormonal shifts happening within your body, so you can make informed decisions about how best to address your symptoms. Written by Dr Heather Hirsch, a certified menopausal medicine doctor, this crucial guide demystifies your symptoms, outlines how to treat them, and explains why doing so is important to your health today and in the years to come. 
 
You’’ll also learn how to better advocate for yourself with your doctor so you can access the right pathway of care for you. The Perimenopause Survival Guide will set you up for an easier menopause journey, so you can take back your health and feel like yourself again.

Brené Brown

*NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* 
 
#1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown returns with an urgent call to reimagine the essentials of courageous leadership. In a time when uncertainty runs deep and bluster, hubris and even cruelty are increasingly framed as acceptable leadership, Brown delivers practical, actionable insights that illuminate the mindsets and skill sets essential to reclaiming focus and driving growth through connection, discipline and accountability. 
 
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.'

*SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* 
 
'This is the book every woman needs not just in menopause, but well before.' – Kate Rowe-Ham, Menopause Fitness Expert and Author of Owning Your Menopause 
 
STRONGER MUSCLES AND BONES, INCREASED MOBILITY, LIFELONG INDEPENDENCE AND A NEW MENTALITY FOR AGEING WITH POWER. 
 
This cutting-edge guide to nutrition, training and lifestyle will optimise a woman's body for longevity, through menopause and beyond. 
 
Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity – yet too often women neglect this important measure of fitness. Indeed, more than 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms like joint pain, muscle loss and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms – what Dr Vonda Wright refers to as the 'musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause' – can often set us up for osteoporosis, osteopenia, broken bones, increasingly limited mobility and reduced independence later in life. That trend stops now. Unbreakable outlines a new and direct path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. 
 
Drawing on her decades of experience as a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr Wright gives clear action steps to shield us from the timebombs of aging in four critical categories:<ul><li>Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function.</li><li>Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate your gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth.</li><li>Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down systemic inflammation in your daily life.</li><li>Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of 'zombie cells' and improve your cell function.</li></ul> 
Including a six-week, master exercise protocol to jumpstart skeletal and muscular strength, critical information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, and twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, Unbreakable is an invaluable guide to adding more vibrantly healthy life to your years.

A Woman's Guide to Ageing with Power

Marc Berman

The groundbreaking new book showing how nature enhances our powers of attention and shapes brain development, from the founder of the field of environmental neuroscience. 
 
'Nature’s power has everything to do with attention, the driving force behind our thoughts and behaviour… Dr Berman says that our lack of access to nature (or unwillingness to go out in it) has contributed to soaring rates of stress, chronic disease, loneliness and other mental health issues. Reconnecting to nature can be part of the antidote' – MEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINE 
 
What if we could harness the power of nature to become calmer, more focused and less distracted? 
 
With so many things vying for our attention in modern life, we’re suffering a global epidemic of distraction, leaving us feeling drained, depleted and isolated. Renowned professor of psychology Dr Marc Berman offers a groundbreaking solution through environmental neuroscience and the art of attention restoration. 
 
In Nature and the Mind, Dr Berman identifies the essential elements of a 'nature prescription' that can improve out cognitive performance and mental resilience, sharing life-altering findings such as: 
• Having just eleven more trees on your street is related to decreases in cardio-metabolic disorders like stroke, diabetes and heart disease. 
• Short walks in nature can improve attention by almost 20 percent and decrease depression symptoms. 
• More green space around schools and homes is related to better school performance, reduced crime and improved working memory. 
 
Featuring clear, practical solutions that you can apply to your daily life, no matter where you live, Nature and the Mind reveals how nature is the key to boosting your energy, restoring attention, changing your mood, and improving your mental and physical health.
