Ken Rideout

‘A lesson in staying alive… Ken Rideout’s life story is extraordinary not just for what he’s achieved, but for how deeply it reflects the struggles we all face.’ Andrew Huberman 
 ‘Unputdownable…one of the most compelling, improbable, and motivating tales of metamorphosis I’ve ever read.’ Rich Roll, host of the Rich Roll podcast and author of Finding Ultra 
 ‘Raw, riveting, and deeply human…will leave you inspired to face and outlast your life battles.’ Sahil Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of The 5 Types of Wealth_________________________________________________ 
Born into a broken family just outside of Boston, Ken Rideout grew up in a household persistently scarred by drugs and crime. At just eighteen, he found himself working as a guard in a prison where his stepfather had been incarcerated, and his brother would later serve time. Despite the bleak expectations set by his family, Ken harboured dreams far beyond the confines of his upbringing. 
Ken eventually broke free from the gritty streets of his youth to the high-stakes world of Wall Street, where he carved out a successful career. Yet, beneath the veneer of success, he battled a decade-long addiction to opioids, spending his hard-earned wealth on pills. The turning point came with the adoption of a daughter from overseas—a wake-up call to become the father and man he always dreamed of being. 
Running became Ken’s salvation. With unwavering determination, he willed himself to run vast distances. In three years, Ken transformed from a ‘running nobody’ to the world’s fastest marathoner over fifty. His mantra: Win—or die trying. In the book, Ken shares his awe-inspiring achievements, including, at age fifty-two, winning the Masters (50+) Marathon World Championships in Chicago and conquering the Gobi March ultra-marathon, one of the world’s toughest races. Through sheer resilience and grit, Ken rewrote his story. By publishing this book, he will now help readers to re-write their story too.

Ashley James

Bossy. Frigid. Spinster. Sl*t. Mumsy. Milf. Bimbo. The English language has a seemingly infinite number of judgemental and hypocritical words to describe women and their life choices. We can't win, no matter what we do. Whether it’s on the sofa of ITV’s This Morning or online, Ashley James is a fierce advocate for women. In Bimbo, she unpacks the labels that box women in, and the systems that keep them there. From 'bossy' little girls, 'tarty' teens, to mothers who 'let themselves go', and 'left-on-the-shelf' single women, Ashley dissects the systems that try to confine us and asks: what if we broke free? Told through raw personal stories, humour and with a fierce feminist lens, this is a battle cry for every woman who’s ever felt too much — or not enough. This is a call to women stop shrinking, stop competing, and start rising — together. This is a book to be shared, discussed, and cherished, and a beacon of hope for a better future.

Dr Karan Rajan

The new book from Dr Karan Rajan, the internet’s favourite general surgeon and bestselling author. 
 
Whether it’s your mental health, an unfortunate rash, or a weird mole where the sun doesn’t shine, there are certain subjects that are simply off-limits in polite company. 
 
The fact is though, everyone has weird thoughts from time to time, a rash is often just a rash, and a mole is normally nothing to worry about. But occasionally these bodily malfunctions can indicate something more alarming, so we shouldn’t delay talking about them with a medical professional just so we don’t have to have an awkward conversation. 
 
In This is Vital Information, Dr Karan dives into the weird and wonderful world of medical taboos and empowers readers with the information they need to live longer and happier lives. Along the way, he explains why we all need to start talking openly with our friends, family and – most importantly – our doctors.

Have you ever thought about what it takes to become a bestselling writer? 
 
If so, The Truth About Lisa Jewell is the book for you. It is the story of how a novel is written, from before the start to after the finish; it's an in-depth analysis of how that novel fits into a bestselling author like Lisa Jewell's career and her previous work, and what her style shares with authors from James Joyce to Martin Amis. 
 
But this is more than just a study of an author at the top of her game. Like Lisa Jewell's much-loved novels, it's also the story of a relationship - between the bestselling author and the professor of cultural studies who has made her his muse - evolving slowly as the world comes gradually out of Covid. It's the story of two very different writers getting to know each other gradually through words; two complete strangers becoming something more like friends. 
 
A must-have for fans of Lisa Jewell, for aspiring authors who are interested in the path to success - and a testament to the way books can bring us together.

What began as small weight loss chain run by an expert nutritionist, has now become the fastest growing franchise - ever, easily out-performing Weight Watchers, with 250 new diet centres opening each month. And now, for the first time, the Curves plan is being brought to the general public so that everyone can benefit from this easy to follow and fast-working programme. The Curves diet works by re-balancing the body's metabolism, enabling fast weight loss that stays off - even when eating normally. The questionnaires included allow you to ascertain which of the two diet plans you should follow for the most effective results. 
 
Discover whether you need to follow the calorie-sensitive plan or the carbohydrate-sensitive plan - and for just 2 weeks. After this time, in Phase II, you gradually increase your calorie intake and then in the final Phase III you return to completely normal eating - you need only watch what you eat for 2 days in every month and all the while the weight stays off. In addition to the week by week eating plans - for both types, Curves includes an exercise programme that requires no more than thirty minutes three times a week and promises dramatic and lasting effects.

Barrie Savory

More than 60% of the UK's population report regular back pain with the amount of working time lost, in the region of 119 million days a year. Not everyone has the time - or money - to visit chiropractors or osteopaths. Barrie Savory is one of Britain's leading osteopaths and draws on his many years of research, teaching and practise to provide an easy to follow guide to how we can all protect our backs and, if the damage has already been done, treat injuries and prevent further strain. 
 
Savory looks at the way in which we, as human beings, put our bodies through a series of potentially harmful positions as we go about our daily lives - from the way we get out of bed in the mornings, travel to work, sit at our desks, carry our shopping, watch TV - not to mention injuries through sex. 
 
Full of advice on diet, exercise, posture and relaxation, this guide is also packed with exercises that can be performed safely and easily at home to treat strains and injuries.

The Good Back Guide

Whether you are a vegetarian or a meat-eater, want to cook a snack or prepare a dinner party, Eat Yourself Slim includes a wide variety of recipes and meal suggestions to choose from. 
 
The book shows you how you can calculate your personal basal metabolic rate - ie how many calories your body needs to function properly - which helps you work out the level of eating that will optimise your weight loss, while not leaving you hungry.

Will Darbyshire

Have you ever wanted to write something to a partner or ex? What is the best and worst message you’ve received on a dating app? What would you say to your last hook up? 
 
Following ten years after the publication of This Modern Love, Will Darbyshire - now in his thirties - looks at how modern love has changed with This Modern Love Now. 
 
Receiving thousands of submissions from men and women around the world, from hopeless romantics to OnlyFans stars, Will delves into the enduring themes that continue to shape modern dating. These include the evolving political landscape regarding cisgendered men and women, the rise of dating apps and the prevalence of ‘situationships’, and the ever-changing dynamics of queer romances. 
 
Amidst the unprecedented connectivity we enjoy in the digital age, paradoxically, we also experience a profound sense of loneliness. Equally, messages left on read and the dreaded 'ghosting' being pitfalls of the modern dating age, the making of this book has invited the public to share those letters and messages left unsent. 
 
This Modern Love Now is a time capsule of the present. Of how our expectations and reality diverge when it comes to matters of the heart…and the occasional one-night stand.
