The Way of Excellence
Are the conveniences and distractions of modern life undermining your personal growth and ability to realise your true potential?
Each of us has an innate drive for progress and growth. It's why we feel alive and fulfilled when we channel that drive into meaningful goals, be it starting a business, writing a book, learning an instrument, studying a craft or training for a marathon. Excellence is not a destination so much as an energising process of growth and becoming - one that yields our best performances and, every bit as important, our best selves. Except too often the hustle of our demanding, distracting and fad-driven lives works against us, leaving us frustrated, unfulfilled and unable to focus on what really matters.
Performance coach and international bestselling author Brad Stulberg offers a fascinating new theory of excellence and why our pursuit of it is integral to personal growth, satisfaction and lasting well-being. Stulberg will help you reclaim your excellence by teaching you how to define, live and work in alignment with your values, cultivate focus and concentration, prioritise consistency over intensity, build durable confidence, and develop the courage to care deeply.
Eye-opening, informative and empowering, The Way of Excellence will give you a new perspective on prioritising excellence and building a more fulfilling life around it.
Seven Deadly Sins
Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Pride. Envy. Lust. Anger.
These are the seven deadly sins, the vices of humankind that define immorality, the roots of all evil in the world. Or so some believe.
But do these sins really represent moral failings, or are they simply human functions that aid us? Are they just the result of how our bodies, psyches, and brains in particular, are wired?
This new book by Dr Guy Leschziner, a professor of neurology and sleep medicine, explores the underlying nature of the seven deadly sins, their neuroscientific and psychological basis, their origin in our genes and crucially how certain medical disorders give rise to them.
Drawing on his clinical practice, we meet individuals whose physical and psychological conditions have given rise to these sins, where brain injury or other experiences have sparked 'immoral' actions. He explores how illness can simply expose what lies within us and investigates how the origins of these traits lie in evolutionary imperatives to preserve the wellbeing of the tribe. Perhaps, he suggests, these character traits are less of a moral question and more biological, which raises fundamental issues of responsibility and blame in the face of 'sin'.
Combining cutting-edge science placed in the context of real-life experience with patients, the book reexamines where the boundaries between normal human nature, pathology and sin are drawn. And, most importantly, whether these hard-wired traits truly represent sin, or simply the intensity of our intrinsic desire to survive and thrive.
Why We Click
Why do you immediately click with some people while others inexplicably turn you off? Do people emit vibes good or bad? Is it possible to read a room? Are bad habits contagious?
The hidden science of why people click, and how this powerful phenomenon shapes our lives.
In Why We Click, bestselling author Kate Murphy explores the science behind the seemingly magical yet science-backed phenomenon that makes us fall into rhythm and find resonance with one another. Murphy reveals how and why we match one another's movements, posture and gestures, and sync up our heart rates, blood pressure, pupil dilation, brainwaves and hormonal activity. This powerful tool shows that emotions, moods and behaviours are all infectious and can profoundly impact our health and wellbeing for good or bad.
In this enthralling book, discover the superpower of "interpersonal synchrony" and its extraordinary benefits so you can learn how to detect and encourage this phenomenon when beneficial, and "desynchronise" from others when it is not.
Wise
We are living longer and our lifespan after the middle years continues to extend due to medical advances. But how do you age wisely? How do you remain psychologically healthy and fully engaged given the immense and daunting challenges of later life - accumulated regrets, loss, disappointments, physical deterioration, and mortality?
From ancient Greece to the 21st century, the greatest philosophers and psychologists have considered these questions, and remarkably, their opinions converge. There is a single essential task - integration - that once accomplished, equips us to cope with the many problems we are likely to encounter as we get older. What's more, their insights are supported by cutting-edge neuroscience. Exploring the common ground shared by the Stoics and the Existentialists, William James and CG Jung, Iain McGilchrist and Daniel Siegel, clinical psychologist Frank Tallis has written his own essential alternative to the standard self-help prescriptions.
Frank Tallis takes on such questions as how we can embrace and accept our mortality when our brains are hard-wired to resist it, how we can achieve meaning in our lives, and how we can understand the passage of time and make the most of it. It's immensely readable whilst also intelligent and thought-provoking.
Handbook for Hard Times
We all go through hard times. We can experience moments when life feels like an uphill struggle, leading to unhappiness and stress. Perhaps we are feeling sad, anxious, or are challenged to deal with something bigger, such as a bereavement, a loss, a painful ending or a broken heart. It is during these moments when life feels difficult that we could do with some help with our thoughts and feelings.
In HANDBOOK FOR HARD TIMES Sunday Times bestselling author of A Monk's Guide to Happiness Gelong Thubten teaches us to understand that happiness, kindness and resilience can be cultivated through reframing life's difficulties as opportunities for transformation. Meditation and mindfulness practices help us to access deep reserves of inner strength as we learn how to 'lean into' our suffering. Thubten suggests how we can find meaning in pain and discomfort, transforming deeply ingrained patterns of fear and resistance.
As we discover how hard times can enhance the development of mindfulness, compassion and forgiveness, we can develop a fearless outlook on life and lasting, unshakeable happiness.
This approachable and practical book, complete with meditations, is designed for modern times, and will be a valuable resource to anyone during times of struggle, but also during all times to encourage and build resilience and help us find inner contentment and peace.

Prečo si pamätáme
Pamäť je oveľa viac než len záznam minulosti. V tejto prelomovej knihe o mysli a mozgu jeden z popredných svetových výskumníkov pamäti odhaľuje silnú funkciu, ktorú má pamäť takmer v každom aspekte nášho života – od zapamätania si tvárí a mien cez učenie, rozhodovanie až po traumu a uzdravovanie.
Najnovší vedecký výskum prináša nový pohľad na našu pamäť. V knihe Prečo si pamätáme neurovedecký priekopník a psychológ Charan Ranganath radikálne prehodnocuje spôsob, akým vnímame každodenné spomínanie. V kombinácii zrozumiteľného jazyka a najmodernejšieho výskumu ukazuje prekvapivé spôsoby, akými náš mozog zaznamenáva minulosť a ako tieto informácie používame na pochopenie toho, kým sme v prítomnosti, a na predstavovanie si a plánovanie vlastnej budúcnosti.
Ako ukazuje Dr. Ranganath, pamäť je vysoko transformačná sila, ktorá ovplyvňuje, ako prežívame svet, často neviditeľným a niekedy aj deštruktívnym spôsobom. Poznanie týchto mechanizmov nám môže pomôcť pri každodenných úlohách, ako je hľadanie kľúčov, ale aj pri vyrovnávaní sa so stratou pamäti v staršom veku. Navyše, keď pracujeme v súlade so schopnosťou mozgu učiť sa a nanovo interpretovať minulé udalosti, môžeme liečiť traumu, zbavovať sa predsudkov, učiť sa rýchlejšie a rozvíjať si sebauvedomenie.
V knihe nájdete fascinujúce štúdie a príklady z popkultúry. Ranganath čerpá aj zo svojho života vedca, otca a dieťaťa prisťahovalcov. Prečo si pamätáme je strhujúce čítanie, ktoré odhaľuje skrytú úlohu pamäti naprieč naším životom. Keď porozumieme jej sile a zvláštnostiam, dokážeme sa prehrýzť balastom a pamätať si to, čo si pamätať chceme. Budeme schopní sa rozhodovať slobodnejšie a plánovať šťastnejšiu budúcnosť.
Menej častá cesta
Azda žiadna kniha v tejto generácii nemala na naše intelektuálne a duchovné životy väčší dopad ako Menej častá cesta. S vyše 7 miliónmi výtlačkov v Spojených štátoch a Kanade a preložená do viac než dvadsiatich troch jazykov tvorila vydavateľské dejiny, keď bola viac než desať rokov v rebríčku bestsellerov New York Times.
Napísaná hlasom, ktorý je vo svojom posolstve porozumenia nadčasový, nám Menej častá cesta ďalej pomáha skúmať povahu ľúbostných vzťahov a vedie nás k novej vyrovnanosti a plnosti života. Pomáha nám naučiť sa, ako odlíšiť závislosť od lásky, stať sa citlivejším rodičom a ako sa v konečnom dôsledku stať svojím vlastným pravým ja.
Ako napísal Dr. Peck v slávnej úvodnej vete svojej knihy Život je ťažký, uvedomoval si, že cesta k duchovnému rastu je dlhá. Svojich čitateľov nikdy nešikanuje, radšej ich nežne sprevádza náročným a často bolestivým procesom zmeny k vyššej úrovni sebapoznania.
M. SCOTT PECK, M.D. bol psychiater a autor bestsellerov. Študoval na Harvarde (B.A.) a Case Western Reserve (M.D.), počas svojej kariéry psychiatra slúžil na administratívnych postoch vo vláde a neskôr pôsobil v súkromnej praxi. Takmer dve desaťročia zasvätil väčšinu svojho času a finančných zdrojov práci Nadácie pre povzbudenie komunity, neziskovej organizácie, ktorú v roku 1984 pomáhal zakladať so svojou manželkou Lily. Zomrel v roku 2005 vo veku 69 rokov.
Happy Mind, Happy Life
Happiness is a practice, not a destination. We often treat happiness as something to pursue, a reward we'll reach once life is finally in order. But what if happiness is not an outcome, but a practice - the foundation that shapes how we meet each moment?
Drawing on over twenty years as a doctor, Dr Rangan Chatterjee has seen that motivation and willpower rarely sustain us for long. True wellbeing only becomes possible when we learn to nurture what he calls core happiness - a steadier, more resilient form of joy that doesn't depend on circumstances.
In Happy Mind, Happy Life, Dr Chatterjee blends science, case studies, and simple exercises to show how small, daily choices ripple into lasting change. Through ten simple but profound ways, you'll explore how to:
Treat yourself with compassion and respect
Redesign your relationship with technology
Respond to criticism without being derailed
This is not a manual for quick fixes, but an invitation to reimagine how you live - so that health, clarity, and contentment flow naturally into your days.

Why Brains Need Friends
From your morning coffee order, to weaving through passengers on the train, sitting through tense work meetings, riding in a packed elevator, attending a happy hour with colleagues, or relaxing on the couch with family, every day is filled with social interactions that nurture and support your brain's health. Whether mundane or extraordinary, they collectively make up the 'social diet' that you feed your brain, that influences your well-being, shapes your experience, and, done right, even lengthens your life.
In an age of isolation, WHY BRAINS NEED FRIENDS is a neuroscience-backed guide to social interactions, drawing insights from the world of science to help you understand the biology behind your relationships, reconsider the value of companionship, and build a healthier, happier, and more connected life. It's not just what you feed your brain that matters - it's who.
The Brain at Rest
We are constantly told to make the most of our time: to stop procrastinating, to 'optimise' and be efficient with every precious hour.
But when we let our brains rest, and our minds wander, something magical happens: the brain’s ‘default network’ switches on, and we are able to think in completely new ways.
Drawing on groundbreaking new research, neuroscientist Dr Joseph Jebelli reveals the simple and easy steps to change your life for the better, including how:
· Napping and gentle exercise can enhance brain size
· Spending time in nature can boost creativity and problem-solving skills
· Silence fosters the growth of new brain cells
Blending science and personal stories with practical tips, The Brain At Rest is the life-changing guide to living a happier, healthier – and ironically, more productive – life.
Addicted to Anxiety
Feeling anxious is part of being human; sometimes it can even be necessary or useful.
But what about when anxiety takes over? When you feel like it's too often dictating your life?
Have you ever considered that you might be addicted to anxiety?
In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author and psychotherapist Owen O'Kane explores how we all unwittingly build habits around our anxiety. This, he argues, is how we become addicted - the behaviours and thought patterns that help us feel safe in the short term ultimately perpetuate it.
Put simply, we get hooked.
The answer? Break the cycle.
How?
Recognize: You must understand your anxiety and identify your triggers before you can start to unpick it.
Tackle: Discover vital techniques for breaking the underlying habits and patterns.
Move forward: Learn strategies for navigating setbacks or relapses on the road ahead.
Addicted to Anxiety will help you understand your anxiety from the perspective of addiction, identifying your triggers and learning how to break your habits so you can actively replace them with new, more productive behaviours for a calmer, happier life.

The Heart Code offers an in-depth exploration into the mechanisms of Heart-Walls and practical guidance toward breaking down these barriers around our hearts. You will gain the tools necessary to identify and release emotional walls that prevent us from experiencing true fulfilment in every aspect of our lives: physical, emotional, spiritual, financial and romantic.

Undimmed
We hold the power - now - to live this one precious life undimmed.
The current thinking about any escapist behaviour is binary: either you have a 'problem' or you don't. But any 'dimmer' habit - whether it's alcohol, social media or any other behaviour or substance we use to self-soothe or avoid difficult emotions - exists on a spectrum.
In Undimmed, Cecily Mak presents a revolutionary approach to transforming our relationship with anything that dims our light. Rather than waiting until addiction appears, she offers a different approach that gives you the power, agency and choice to start making positive changes in your life. You'll learn how to address the root causes of escapist tendencies, cultivate self-trust and heal so you can eliminate the need to 'dim' at all.
Undimmed will forever alter how you perceive so-called addiction, and empower you to break free from unhealthy habits, so you can live a life filled with clarity, connection and well-being.
Awakening
Unlock the power of your consciousness and discover your limitless potential with New York Times bestselling author and master of modern meditation, Deepak Chopra
Are you sleepwalking through life, overwhelmed by an unending stream of desires, duties and demands?
In this groundbreaking guide, Deepak Chopra reveals how you can connect with your true self and break free from the limitations of the ego. Building on decades of spiritual teachings, Chopra takes you through 40 sutras - statements that capture the essence of a profound truth - and shows you how to move from a state of simply surviving to one where you can access deeper intuition and insights.
Featuring practical exercises, meditations and personal stories from Chopra's own spiritual journey, Awakening will shake you from the nightmare of a limited self and invite you to embrace a new way of being - one marked by inner peace, purpose and boundless possibility, where miracles become everyday occurrences.
Trauma Proof
In recent years the word 'trauma' has become ubiquitous. Yet it remains widely misunderstood. In Trauma Proof international expert Benjamin Perks redefines how we see childhood trauma, and outlines a new path towards healing and prevention.
For 25 years, Perks has worked for the UN and UNICEF on eradicating global barriers to child wellbeing, including poverty, hunger, disease, the mobilisation of child soldiers and population displacement. But he has also been on a personal journey of healing from his own childhood, spent living in the UK's care system and on the streets.
Today, new research is revealing little-known aspects of childhood trauma. It is no surprise that it drives addiction or poor mental health. But how does it explain a heightened risk for heart disease or diabetes? Why does it so comprehensively correlate with poor life outcomes? And how can we not only heal from, but prevent, the types of experiences that negatively impact on child development?
In Trauma Proof, Perks explains the science behind these findings, and argues that making simple changes can break damaging inter-generational cycles. Ultimately, he shows how building secure attachments and improving the quality of your relationships can radically transform your life, at any age.
