Your OCD Will Hate This Book

A Proven System to Overcome Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Take Back Your Life

Ichiro Kishimi

FROM THE 10 MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED 
 
If I’m just plain and ordinary, is that something I can live with? 
 
At one time or another, everyone has hoped that they are different to everyone else – that they are somehow special. Beneath that desire lies a constant, anxious comparison with others, which often prevents happiness without us even realising. How, then, can we free ourselves from this cycle of restless competition and find peace with who we are? 
 
In this inspiring new book, Ichiro Kishimi explores a way of living that will free you from your unease, improve your confidence and help you live a happy life. Rather than striving to be ‘better’ than everyone else, Kishimi shows you how to focus solely on your own potential and accept who you are – without settling for a life of boredom. 
 
Reading this book will not restore your confidence that you are special, yet by the end, you will have learned the secret to living free from the burden of judgement – both your own, and the opinions of others. Full of warmth and wisdom, this book is for anyone who has ever asked themselves whether they are enough.

The Courage to be Ordinary

Paul Conti

In a world where it’s easy to feel like everything is going wrong, world-renowned psychiatrist Paul Conti asks – what’s going right? 
 
Despite the increasing availability of mental health resources and freedom of people talking about it, the data around mental health shows a steady decline in happiness. Why are all the metrics heading the wrong way? With his characteristic warmth, optimism and expertise however, Dr Paul Conti wants you to flip the narrative and ask yourself the empowering question: how can we go right? 
 
Based on his Generative Drive framework, and as seen on the wildly popular podcast series on Andrew Huberman’s Huberman Lab, What’s Going Right will guide readers to understanding and assessing their mental health. Also informed by Paul’s own journey and his decades of experience helping patients, this book will provide you with a simple, science-based framework for improving mental health, fortified with practical tools that you can tailor to yourself in the real world. 
 
With all Dr. Conti's straightforwardness and sincerity, What’s Going Right is an accessible and inspiring mental health protocol that will empower you to reach your fullest potential – starting with what’s going right.

Drawing on decades of work with families, this long-awaited book is essential reading for every parent – and your children will thank you for it!

How to Raise an Emotionally Mature Child

Your Blueprint to a Lifetime of Happiness and Success for Your Child

Aiko Bethea

A bold framework for successfully navigating complicated interactions at work, at home and in all of our relationships – by one of the first leadership coaches to infuse her work with an equity lens and create spaces for connection that require both accountability and generosity. 
 
 What if the very moments that feel like setbacks could become openings for transformation? 
 
 Aiko Bethea teaches that what holds us back is not the challenge itself, but how we meet it. The tension at work. The misunderstanding at home. The silence in the face of discomfort. She calls these experiences 'the bullsh*t' because they keep us out of alignment with who we aspire to be. 
 
 But the bullsh*t is not the end of the story. It is the beginning of choice. Each moment of misalignment can shrink us back into old habits, or it can call us forward into a different way of leading, loving and living. With a witty, engaging voice, Bethea invites us to choose connection over competition, empathy over pity and vulnerability over ego, guiding us toward evolving into the version of ourselves we most respect. As she reminds us, 'bullsh*t can’t be fought off, but it can be transcended.' 
 
 Through her Anchored, Aligned, Accountable framework, Bethea draws on real-life experiences from her work as a facilitator and leadership coach, offering journaling prompts and practical exercises to support readers' growth. In doing so, she shows us how to step into that transcendence. Grounded in truth. Connected to values. Committed to action that changes not just what we do but who we become.

Anchored, Aligned, Accountable

A Framework for Transcending Bullsh*t and Transforming Our Lives and Work

Marta Martínez Novoa

I’ve always been told that if I was good, I’d attract good things. So then, why am I unhappy? 
 
From a young age, women are taught to put the needs of others first. In Good Girl Syndrome, psychologist Marta Martínez Novoa reveals the damaging effects of 'good' behaviour, and shows you how to start prioritising yourself once and for all. 
 
In this empowering and practical book, Marta will show you that people pleasing is not a personality failing, it’s a common trauma response – an instinct to become more appealing to a perceived threat, and a way to feel safe. Taking you on a journey into your past, this book will help you understand why you feel the way you do in the present, and gives you practical tools to build a future where you feel bolder, safer and more confident in everything you do. If you're done being a people pleaser and ready to start living for you, this is your toolkit to wake up and finally take charge.

Good Girl Syndrome

Described by his creator as 'short, fat and primitive', Evert Bäckström is a rather unique homicide detective but he is undeniably the real deal with it comes to modern policing.
