Counterintuitive
Most people spend their lives solving small problems-following rules they never question, chasing goals they didn't choose, and accepting limits that don't actually exist.
If you've ever felt you were meant to play a bigger game, this book shows you how.
In Counterintuitive, Naveen Jain-serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and founder of multiple billion-dollar companies-reveals the way of thinking that allowed him to consistently do what others believed was impossible. Jain shares that his success did not come from being smarter, luckier, or more connected. Instead, it came from asking better questions and challenging the conventional.
Breakthrough success doesn't come from working harder within the system. It comes from stepping outside it entirely. It's thinking so big that problems become simpler. It's using imagination as a discipline, not a daydream. And it's choosing bold optimism when the world insists on cautious realism.
This is not a book of tactics. It's a blueprint for a mindset shift.
Inside, you'll discover:
Why thinking bigger is often easier than thinking small-and why the world's most complex problems are the most solvable
How to unlearn the invisible rules that limit ambition, creativity, and impact
How to train your imagination to see opportunities where others see constraints
The counterintuitive principles Jain used to build billion-dollar companies, shape industries, and tackle global challenges
Blending personal stories, hard-won lessons, and unconventional insights, Counterintuitive challenges you to stop settling for what you're told is realistic and start reaching for what's truly possible.

Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy
'As swoon-worthy and charming as it is funny and irreverent. Sign me up for everything Brigitte Knightley writes' Olivie Blake, bestselling author of The Atlas SixIn this swoony, witty and heart-stoppingly romantic sequel to instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy, the stakes are high, the love is forbidden and the slow burn turns steamy. Osric is a member of the Fyren Order, a guild of assassins who gleefully murder for money. Aurienne is a Haelan, a scholar-healer whose Order's motto is Harm to none. Clear-cut absolutes separate them: good and bad, right and wrong, light and dark - Until they don't. When Osric first bribed Aurienne to heal him, he never imagined those lines would begin to blur. But every healing session draws the two of them closer together. He finds himself developing unwanted feelings for Aurienne as her capable hands heal his body - and his heart. Aurienne's perfect life has been flung into chaos in the form of a devastatingly handsome assassin. She should be in her research lab, not illicitly healing a Fyren every full moon - nor wrestling an attraction to him that threatens to slip into something else. Things go superbly sideways when Osric and Aurienne discover more about the deadly Pox deliberately unleashed through the Tiendoms. The plague may be the work of another Order - an Order far nastier than either of them can handle. As the lines between Osric and Aurienne continue to blur, the balance between peace and war and love and hate trembles, shifts, and hinges on a heartbeat.

The Curious Mr Howard
John Howard (1726-1790) is best known as the namesake of the UK's oldest penal reform charity, the Howard League. In this extensively researched book, Tessa West reveals his legacy and complex character. Howard was history's first (self-appointed) prison inspector. Arriving at penal establishments unannounced, he recorded the realities behind closed doors, culminating in his iconic The State of the Prisons. A restless workaholic perfectionist, he travelled through the UK, Russia, Germany, and Holland pushing for systemic change. West captures a highly singular individual: benevolent, obsessive, focused and lacking social contacts. This book highlights why prisons demand constant scrutiny and shows what a truly great figure Howard was. 'A riveting account of the great penal reformer'- Guardian'Impeccably researched and fascinating'- The Howard Journal'No-one who reads this wonderful book could dispute that Howard ranks among the most interesting people of his age'- Times Literary Supplement
