We all know the feeling of digital exhaustion.

Digital Exhaustion shows us how we can reimagine our relationship with our digital tools.

Follow these eight rules to regain control of your life:<ul><li>Rule #1: Stop Using Half Your Tools.</li><li>Rule #2: Make a Match.</li><li>Rule #3: Batch and Stream.</li><li>Rule #4: Wait. One Hour.

Simple Rules for Reclaiming Your Life

Sinéad O’Sullivan

The inspiring new book exploring the 10 power moves that have built Taylor Swift’s superstardom and empire – and how you can implement them for success in business and in life - from a former Strategist at Harvard Business School’s Institute for Strategy. 
 
Taylor Swift’s genius is not limited to her singing and songcraft: as the founder of her own multi-billion dollar enterprise she has higher returns than 99.9% of hedge funds, and has built a stronger global corporation than nearly every other American conglomerate CEO. She is the only person that the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank track with precision. She has a larger impact on the world economy than most economists that have ever lived, and has done more for US antitrust law than any sitting member of Congress. There is a lot to learn from Taylor Swift. 
 
Global investment fund manager and former head of Strategy at HBS (and Swiftie!) Sinead O’Sullivan taps into the same genius that sells out stadiums and shuts down the internet to give Taylor—the CEO, the strategist—the respect she deserves. O’Sullivan sums up Swift’s business savvy into ten big, teachable lessons, including: 
<ul><li>Build a World (Not a Product): how to create value that is greater than the sum of its parts (or, how Taylor created the fan-centered Swiftverse that fosters community, belonging, and off-the-charts engagement)</li><li>Be Anti-Fragile: how to embrace volatility, build resilience, and thrive in uncertainty–when your competitors can’t (or, how Taylor gamed the chaos of Covid shutdown to own the airwaves)</li><li>Don’t Just Play the Game, Change It: how to rewrite the rules on your own terms when your chips are down (or, how Taylor almost lost control of her music catalogue to Private Equity—but re-recorded all her masters and took them back)</li></ul>Whether you're a dedicated Swiftie or simply looking for inspiration to help you thrive, Good Ideas and Power Moves shows you the ten simple lessons Taylor Swift used to unlock unstoppable success in business and life.

'Annoyingly funny, phenomenally helpful' - Chris Donnelly 
 
No one sets out to be a bad boss. But some bosses out there really do give it all they’ve got. One in four of us feel like we are currently working for our worst boss ever. That not only has a huge impact on our enjoyment of the job, but our productivity also plummets, which surely is no good for anyone! 
 
The problem is, when you are stuck with a job or boss you don’t like, you are given the same two pieces of advice; either suck it up or go off and find a new job, which costs you time and a whole lot of headspace, and costs businesses too! 
 
My Boss is a Moron is all about the third way. 
 
Serial entrepreneur and content creator Ben Askins shows you how to handle a terrible boss, make the best of a bad situation and still come out on top. 
 
Taking you through the entire lifecycle of work from job descriptions and interviews, to pay rises, promotions, annual leave and so much more, My Boss is a Moron pulls back the curtain on why companies and bosses make the choices they make, and what you can do to give yourself the best possible chance of success. 
 
With outrageous real boss stories and Askins’ beloved sarcasm and humour, My Boss is a Moron is as entertaining as it is helpful and is designed to help you sidestep silly company policies and terrible management to ensure that you thrive at work, no matter the circumstances.

He first first broke ground at a time when the practice was deemed taboo, and his revolutionary techniques later helped transform the All Blacks into an all-conquering force, while enhancing the fortunes of professional teams around the world in rugby, cricket, football, basketball, and netball. Gilbert’s work later contributed to the All Blacks becoming the greatest team of a generation, as they won two Rugby World Cups in 2011 and 2015, 21 consecutive Bledisloe Cups, seven Tri-Nations Series, and ten Rugby Championships.

For the very first time, Gilbert’s methods have been laid out in his debut book, Become Unstoppable – a collection of psychological leadership strategies, cultural upgrades and game-changing mental skills that can be transferred from the world of elite sport and into work, home and play. Gilbert’s skills have since been sought out by a raft of market-leading companies and institutions looking to outpace their competitors.

Sabina Nawaz

Winner of the gold medal in the 2025 Axiom Business Book Awards 
 
Former Microsoft Executive and Fortune 500 CEO coach, Sabina Nawaz, delivers a practical guide for managers, at a time when managing is harder than ever. 
 
This book explains why top performers inevitably turn into terrible managers when their behaviour, compounded by the power and pressure that come from climbing the corporate ladder, engenders toxic work cultures and saps everyone else's enthusiasm around them. The very traits that they believe have gotten them to top, may that be loose personal boundaries, perfectionism or a bullish communication style, when at the altitude of leadership, self-sabotage their efforts and that of their team. 
 
Top Executive coach and former adviser to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, Sabina Nawaz, does not advocate for a leadership personality transplant, or a lengthy journey in self-development. Instead, she introduces simple strategies that you can implement today that rail-guard against the common pitfalls of management. By managing pressure and collapsing distance, Sabina ensures top performers effectively manage others, navigate relationships and communicate effectively in every context.

Eduardo Briceno

We all know we should be learning and growing. But how do you make time while under pressure to perform? 
 
Too many of us suffer from 'chronic performance': we feel constant pressure to look like we know what we're doing, to always be on, to rack up success after success and have all the answers, all because we assume that greater effort leads to greater success.

Through his work with over a hundred companies, co-founder of Mindset Works Eduardo Briceño has solved this by coming up with a game-changing framework that breaks our habit of chronic performance. He's discovered that long-term success as an individual or business - personal, financial and, organisational - relies on integrating and being proficient at learning and performing. 
 
In The Performance Paradox, you will learn how to: 
 
- Unlock the power of mistakes 
- Integrate learning into daily habits 
- Move seamlessly between learning and performing 
- Solicit the most useful feedback 
- Lead teams that constantly improve and outperform their targets 
 
Ground-breaking and empowering, The Performance Paradox will break your chronic performance habit and revolutionise the way you approach growth mindset to get you on your way to thriving in both work and life.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

*Featuring new bonus material Arnold Schwarzenegger's 77 Lessons at 77* 
 
The seven rules to follow to realise your true purpose in life-distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone. 
 
The world's greatest bodybuilder. The world's highest paid movie star. The leader of the world's sixth largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke. But this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident. 
 
Arnold's stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold's father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father's adage close to his heart. 
 
Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, BE USEFUL takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold's toolkit for a meaningful life. Arnold shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike--some of them famous, some told here for the first time ever. 
 
Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there. Now he has shared that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you -- you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you need.

When we think about changing jobs, we turn to traditional career advice that focuses on skills, qualifications, and interviewing techniques. We tend to ask ourselves, &ldquo;Do I want to move from a full-time to a part-time job? Do I want to leave my company and start my own business?&rdquo; But this line of thinking doesn&rsquo;t get to the heart of the problem&mdash;why you&rsquo;ve been so unhappy at work in the first place. What if, instead, we asked ourselves a different question: &ldquo;What psychological needs aren&rsquo;t being met now that need to be met in my next job?&rdquo; 
 
In Job Therapy, Dr. Tessa West helps you turn inwards to identify the psychological reasons why you are unsatisfied, whether you&rsquo;re having an identity crisis at work, your job has changed so dramatically you don&rsquo;t recognise it anymore, or you aren&rsquo;t receiving recognition for your contribution. 
 
Whether you&rsquo;ve only just entered the workplace or considering your final move, Job Therapy will help you identify and land your best role yet, one that&rsquo;s deeply rooted in a clear sense of self.

"Few people can communicate how the economy actually works better than Kyla Scanlon." -Morgan Housel, author of The Psychology of Money 
 
The stuff you really need to know about how the economy works? It's pretty simple. Yes, even if you were bored to tears in economics class, or if you're cross-eyed from reading painfully convoluted-or straight-up misguided-financial commentary. In this particularly disorienting era, Kyla Scanlon is the Tim Harford of the disaffected and disillusioned Gen Z looking for answers. 
 
This is the definitive, approachable guide to the key concepts and mechanics of economics and the most common myths and fallacies to steer clear of. Through Kyla's trademark blend of creative analogies, clever illustrations, refreshingly lucid language-and even quotes from poetry, literature, and philosophy-she answers questions such as: 
 
- Is our national debt really a threat? 
- What is a "mild" recession, exactly? 
- What's really happening in the employment market, and how do we improve it for workers? 
 
At a time when experts overcomplicate simple things loudly, choosing to generate smoke rather than clearing the air, In This Economy? shows that understanding the markets-and the systems they operate in-is easier than you think. 
 
Whether you're worried about your mortgage rate, job security, bank account balance, or the health of the broader economy, this concise and witty guide will give you the confidence to make smarter financial decisions-no matter what the headlines say.

In This Economy?

The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away

Simone Stolzoff

'Superb.' Oliver Burkeman 
 
'An incredibly propulsive read. It will absolutely challenge you, in the best way possible, to change the way you think about work.' Anne Helen Petersen 
 
'A sharp analysis of modern work culture.' Vauhini Vara 
 
 
The Good Enough Job reminds us that the biggest goal of all is to live a life we are happy with, and in which work is but one of the multitude of facets that make us who we are. An antidote to the toxic #hustle movement convincing us all we need to find fulfilment in the office, it denounces the dangers of burnout linked to those of us who cannot answer the question: beyond work, what's left? 
 
Conversations of burnout have bubbled to the top of the cultural zeitgeist as the line between work and not-work continues to blur. Burnout and workaholism are symptoms of a deeper root cause: a lack of separation between who we are and what we do. This book is not a credo against looking to work for fulfilment, nor is it in favour of treating work as a necessary evil. It is a guide to developing a healthier relationship to work through the stories of people who have successfully done so. These are stories that invite us to re-evaluate what makes us happy, and how we can work to live, rather than the other way round.

What They Don't Teach You About Money

Seven Habits to Unlock Financial Independence

Berthold Gunster

'Transformative... Flip Thinking beautifully illustrates how a person who can turn a negative into a positive can never be defeated' - Greg McKeown, podcaster and bestselling author of Essentialism and Effortless 
 
 
Imagine this: you've got a great idea, and all you hear are the yes-buts. "Yes, but that's been tried before, and it didn't work." "Yes, but shouldn't we just let it sit for a while?" "Yes, but what if it doesn't work..." 
 
Stop saying "yes, but..." to life, and to start saying "yes, and..." 
 
This international bestseller introduces the power of flip thinking to transform stuck-in-the-mud, pessimistic 'yes, but' thinking into an inventive, curious 'yes, and' mindset. 
 
Berthold Gunster presents his fifteen flip thinking strategies that will transform your thinking away from limitations and threats and towards possibilities and opportunities. From disrupting (turn all the rules upside down), to flaunting (play up what you want to hide), and importing (get the enemy on board) to amplifying (focus on what works, and do more of that) Gunster's strategies and stories will have you approaching even the most challenging problems, at work, home and at play, in a whole new way.

The Life-Changing Art of Turning Problems into Opportunities

Justin Talbot-Zorn

Leigh Marz

What if the most serious personal and global challenges won't be solved with more thinking or talking? 
 
The world is louder than ever. It's not just the noise in our ears, but also the noise on our screens and in our heads. 'Silence is golden,' the adage goes. But how do we find it in times like these? 
 
Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz take us on an unlikely journey exploring why silence is essential for physical health, mental clarity, professional fulfilment, nourishing relationships, ecological sustainability, and vibrant community. Drawing on lessons from neuroscience, philosophy, business, politics, activism, and the arts, Golden teaches us how to go beyond the ordinary rules and offers tools of mindfulness to help individuals, organisations and whole societies dial down the noise and reclaim pristine quiet. 
 
Quietly profound and constantly surprising, Golden is a field guide to finding silence.
