The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick. His many interests included the collection of musical boxes and rare books as well as the study and practice of forgery; they left him time to edit an anthology of Edwardian verse and compose studies of H.M. Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

Glennon Doyle

This stunning hardcover journal is a bold, interactive guide to discovering and creating the truest, most beautiful lives, families and world we can imagine, based on the #1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Untamed. 
 
"We must stop asking people for directions to places they've never been. Every life is an unprecedented experiment. We are all pioneers. I created Get Untamed: The Journal as an interactive experience in charting our own way - so we can let burn that which is not true and beautiful enough and get started building what is." - Glennon Doyle 
 
With Untamed, Glennon Doyle -writer, activist, and "patron saint of female empowerment" (People) - ignited a movement. Untamed has been described as "a wake-up call" (Tracee Ellis Ross), "an anthem for women today" (Kristen Bell), and a book that "will shake your brain and make your soul scream" (Adele). Glennon now offers a new way of journaling, one that reveals how we can stop striving to meet others' expectations-because when we finally learn that satisfying the world is impossible, we quit pleasing and start living. Whether or not you have read Untamed, this journal leads you to rediscover, and begin to trust, your own inner-voice. 
 
Full of thought-provoking exercises, beloved quotations from Untamed, compelling illustrations, playful and meditative coloring pages, and an original introduction, in Get Untamed: The Journal, Glennon guides us through the process of examining the aspects of our lives that can make us feel caged. This revolutionary method for uprooting culturally-constructed ideas shows us how to discover for ourselves what we want to keep and what we'll let burn so that we can build lives by design instead of default. 
 
A one-of-a-kind journal experience, Get Untamed proves Glennon's philosophy that "imagination is not where we go to escape reality, but where we go to remember it."

Eli Susman

Find calm, clarity and joy in seconds with micropractice – a revolutionary, science-backedmethod that can deliver powerful benefits anytime, anywhere. 
 
 How do we care for ourselves when life won’t slow down? This is the question that psychologist Eli Susman spent a decade pursuing the answer to at Harvard and Berkeley as he observed how too many of us think mindfulness, self-compassion and joy are only achieved through lengthy retreats, intensive meditation or hours on the yoga mat.Enter micropractice: a term Susman coined for the powerful, bite-size techniques that help us find calm and well-being – right in the middle of modern life’s many demands. In this beautifully illustrated, accessible and highly practical guide, Susman distils ancient wisdom and his own pioneering research into 14 practices anchored in 4 core elements: 
<ul><li>MOVE: Energise instantly with microyoga, a quick power pose or a spontaneous microdance – no mat, dancefloor or skills required.</li><li>TOUCH: Enhance self-compassion, calm anxiety and lower cortisol – through something as simple as petting a cat, resting your hands on your belly and chest or even sharing a fist bump with a friend or colleague.</li><li>BREATHE: Reset your nervous system and release endorphins with intentional breathing exercises, laughter yoga or by singing a few lines of your favourite song.</li><li>FLOW: Infuse ordinary moments with intention, from mindful eating to silently offering lovingkindness to the people you encounter throughout your day.</li></ul> 
Along the way, Susman reveals the science of habit formation so these micropractices don’t just inspire you once – they stick. No elaborate rituals, just research-grounded tools that slip naturally into your day to build emotional resilience, spark creativity, sharpen focus and make well-being a way of being.
