A Companion for Life’s Twists & Turns

Carla Ciccone

For Carla Ciccone, the feeling of not quite knowing how to perform adult life was all too familiar. 
 
After a lifetime of muddling through shame and self-blame, Carla was finally diagnosed with ADHD at thirty-nine years old. With this late diagnosis came the realisation that her most troubling traits weren’t deep personality flaws, but symptoms. 
 
The knowledge that her ADHD had gone unnoticed all her life felt like a missing puzzle piece. It prompted Carla to explore the cohort of women and girls (the ‘nowhere girls’) that science had ignored. Through scientific research, interviews with experts, and the warmth and wit of her own lived experience, Carla explores how the gendered approach to ADHD left girls just like her to struggle in silence for years. 
 
A powerful and deeply personal account Nowhere Girl is a source of explanation and solace for women who are embarking on their own journey of discovery of life with ADHD.

The Power of Doing One Thing at a Time

Arie Kruglanski

How much do we rely upon certainty? And, how does the way we deal with uncertainty impact our future and our lives? 
 
Uncertainty is one of the defining issues of our time. Certainty has a habit of slipping away, further into our futures and we now have to deal with the uncertainties of our present, every day. The stability we once had is disappearing, and fast. Vast changes in society are shifting our realities: An earth-shaking global pandemic, changing attitudes and approaches to employment, with an increase in freelance and temporary work undermines people's ability to plan for the future. And, there is an ever decreasing sense of trust in what was once hallowed: the government, the media, education, religion, medicine. Instead, we use the internet which provides us with a wave of conflicting advice. 
 
When we can no longer make sense of the world together, insecurity takes over. We develop anxiety and confusion about our purpose, and in searching for certainty find it in autocratic leaders and populism. Democracy begins to fade as our uncertainty grows. 
 
If we are aware of our need for certainty, and understand why we behave instinctively in the way that we do, we can better understand how to deal with stress and pressure. We can start to make decisions that aren't informed by anxiety. We can shed light not only on historical trends but understand how we change those trends forever, for a better future.

Seven Steps to a Life You Love

Annabelle Williams

Nearly 70% of Britain's homeless are women. 
 
There are more men called Dave running the UK's top 100 companies than there are women altogether. 
 
Women outperform men educationally at every level from high school to PhD - but still get paid less. 
 
In this astonishing dissection of the gender wealth gap, financial journalist Annabelle Williams explains why so few women rank among the super-rich and why women are the majority of those in poverty. From the personal - feeling financially confident and liberated - to the political - demanding systemic support and representation - this ground-breaking exposé will empower your financial decisions and arm you with the knowledge needed to demand equality.

Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?

Fredrik Backman

'You can be whatever you want to be, but that's nowhere near as important as knowing that you can be exactly who you are' 
 
Things My Son Needs To Know About The World is a tender and funny series of letters from a new father to his son about one of life's most daunting experiences: parenthood. 
 
In between the sleep-obsessed lows and oxytocin-fuelled highs, Backman takes a step back to share his own experience of fatherhood and how he navigates such unchartered territory. 
 
Part memoir, part manual, part love letter to his son, this book relays the big and the small lessons in life. As he watches his son take his first steps into the world, he teaches him how to navigate both love and IKEA and tries to explain why, sometimes, his dad might hold his hand just a little bit too tightly. 
 
This is an irresistible and insightful collection from one of the world's most beautiful storytellers.

The Ladybird Book of the Mid-Life Crisis

Gary Kaplan

Donna Beech

A radical rethink of how we get sick, why we stay sick and how we can recover. 
 
Millions of us suffer from chronic pain. It can return at the slightest provocation and its cause is often a mystery to doctors. In Total Recovery, Dr Gary Kaplan argues that we've been thinking about disease all wrong. 
 
Through cutting-edge research and dramatic patient stories, the book reveals how chronic physical and emotional pain are linked. Dr Kaplan's groundbreaking discovery that disease is an accumulation of traumas over a lifetime - every injury, infection and emotional blow - suggests that current treatments for chronic pain and depression are ineffective. 
 
By focusing on long-term causes as well as symptoms, Dr Kaplan has found hope for those locked into a lifetime of pain and suffering. His unified theory has created a new pathway to total recovery.
