‘… a bracing guide to reclaiming your time by confronting the emotional habits that quietly give it away’ – Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of DRIVE and THE POWER OF REGRET Are you craving extra time in your day, as well as the wisdom and self-awareness to use it joyfully and effectively?  In The 25th Hour, executive coach Neal Schore reveals how our emotional reactions eat away at our time and our energy – and shows us how to manage these responses to free up at least an hour each day. We need to address unproductive worrying, fear-based decision making, obsession over other people’s actions and behaviours – and, more than anything else, we need to get out of our own way. This paradigm-shifting book offers a simple, practical approach to professional development, moving the focus beyond strategies for greater efficiency to what really costs us so much time and energy: our uncontrolled emotional responses.

‘The yearning was one for the record books’ SARRA MANNING ‘A world of small-town charm and irresistible romance’ LIZ TOMFORDE ‘The ideal balance of sweet and sexy’ MARIAN KEYES ‘As heartfelt as a Taylor Swift song and as cosy as a pumpkin spiced latte’ ZOË FOLBIGG From the author of Under Your Spell comes a funny, cosy small-town romance about an accidental Vegas marriage, two people forced to fake a relationship and a town determined to play matchmaker. Perfect for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Sarah Adams and Lynn Painter. What happens in Vegas, never stays in Vegas . . . Waking up in a Las Vegas hotel room with her brother’s best friend isn’t exactly rule-follower Ophelia ‘Lee’ Turner-Jones’ finest moment. She’s spent the past year trying to forget it ever happened, until a surprise email from a wedding chapel lands in her inbox. Now Lee has no choice but to track Nico down . . . and tell him they’re married. The last place she expects to find the man who has always lived on the wild side is a small Maine town full of lovable eccentrics. Breaking the news to him should be simple, but walking away proves impossible when she discovers that Nico needs a wife to save everything – and everyone – he holds dear. Agreeing to play the role of happily married couple is risky enough. Doing it with the man she’s secretly loved for years, while the whole town throws themselves into the charade, might just end in disaster. Still, Lee can't help but wonder if their fake relationship could finally be the start of something real.

'History at its most scintillating' Nicholas CraneRivers are the great natural arteries that run through our lives.We have navigated them, dammed them and worshipped at them. From the ancient ecosystems of Egypt to the sinking cities of Shanghai and London, what we do with our rivers tells us about who has power and what we value. Now, when a passion for wild swimming is flourishing but the Amazon is on fire and some of our major river systems are dying, it has never been clearer that rivers are intertwined with humanity at our best and our worst. Seven Rivers is story of the Nile, Danube, Niger, Mississippi, Ganges, Yangtze and the Thames. It is a story of imperial frontiers, alluvial gold, kidnappings, slavery, anticolonialism and creation myths. It is about those who've lived and died on these rivers and their endless capacity for invention: their lotus pools and hanging gardens, their gigantic canal systems and elaborate fishing rituals, their absolute powers and their sly rebellions. At its heart are the empire-builders of the Chinese dynasties, Romans and Hindus and their river gods, the Habsburgs and Ottomans, Mughal emperors, the people of the Niger from Mali's golden age to today, struggles of life and death on the Mississippi, and the dethroning of the British on the rivers of their unruly imperial subjects. This is the story of us, in seven rivers.
