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.
Bowieland
BOWIE IS STILL OUT THERE...
Following open heart surgery, Peter Carpenter was given one instruction - walk if you want to stay alive. So, when his hero died in 2016, he knew what he had to do. The figure who was to so many a companion and guide had left no single focal point for homage. To reconnect with him, Carpenter would take a walk into the past, to the places where David Jones became something more: David Bowie.
Leaving behind well-known shrines to Bowie, he journeyed through South London edgelands to obscurer haunts. Carpenter's quest, a series of happy accidents and chance meetings, took him to Bickley as well as Berlin and Brixton, to Eel Pie Island as well as Heddon Street and Beckenham.
Carpenter's perambulations echo Bowie's own wandering creative spirit. They reveal multiple influences, both conscious and unconscious, in Bowie's creative development. Ultimately, Carpenter reaches a fresh understanding of where Bowie sits in the culture, not as an outlier, but as part of a tradition, informed by those artists, poets and musicians who passed on their wisdom to him. A celebration of the revelatory powers of walking, and by no means just for Bowie obsessives, BOWIELAND opens up our geography in ways rarely seen or so well understood.

Shine Your Eye
A prominent British-Nigerian writer’s odyssey through a West Africa now starkly different from that of his youth. West Africa is at a crossroads. Boasting tremendous natural wealth, its inhabitants are among the world’s poorest. Despite ostensible multi-party democracy, it has suffered coups, conflict and corruption since independence. Where can it go from here? Journeying along the coast and across the Sahel, from Ghana to Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone to Senegal, British-Nigerian writer Adéwálé Mája-Pearce uncovers a restless region on the verge of great change. Visiting fourteen countries—and seeking out the Nigerian diaspora communities in each—he reflects on the dramatic transformations that have shaken these societies since the late 1980s, when he first travelled their roads. From refusing IMF loans to rejecting Western-imposed currencies, West Africa’s diverse, expanding and overwhelmingly young population is conducting a quiet revolution, discarding its European-dominated past and seizing control of its own future. In Nigeria, anti–police brutality demonstrations have challenged an aging elite sustained by colonial enablers who never truly left. And in Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, popular resentment has forced the withdrawal of long-present French troops Speaking with local journalists and dissident academics, street hawkers and immigration officers, Mája-Pearce brings to life the compelling story of a region at breaking point—as told by West Africans themselves.

From selkies and fairies to witches, ghosts and even the Devil, these ancient Celtic myths are entwined with Scottish folk tales to bring to life experiences of doomed love, cursed love and love foretold by dreams.

The Snow Theater
From Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award winner Ryoji Arai comes a gorgeous picture book about a child learning to accept mistakes, while having a magical experience in the wild, beautiful snow.
After accidentally ripping the pages of his father's favorite book, a pensive, heavy-hearted boy leaves his cozy, warm house to ski through the snow. There, in the quiet and the cold, he stumbles upon a small stage that's all lit up-a tiny snow theater, with tiny snow people and tiny ballerinas-that soon transforms into a large snow theater, presided over by the majestic snow queen.
As the boy joins the chorus of snow children, the snow queen lifts up her arms and snow falls and falls and falls, until all the boy can see is white-a snowstorm! And it's at that precise moment that the boy's father, who let his son go off alone but never lost track of him, is there to take his hand as they return home together.
Originally published in Japan and written and illustrated by one of the country's most important picture book makers, The Snow Theater is a quietly enchanting tale about the wild beauty of nature, the powers of the imagination, and the unconditional love of a parent for their child.
How to Think Like Socrates
How can we apply the teachings of the greatest ancient philosopher to modern life?
Socrates is the most famous ancient philosopher and the source of the entire Western philosophical tradition. He spent his life teaching practical philosophy to ordinary people in the streets of Athens, yet few people today are familiar with the wisdom he has to offer us – until now.
In this groundbreaking book, Donald J. Robertson, a practising cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist, transports readers back to the streets of ancient Athens, expertly weaving together a page-turning account of the visionary man to show us how we can apply Socratic ideas to our daily lives. Through a vivid, semi-fictionalized narrative, readers have a ringside seat to witness Socrates's journey firsthand - from his military service and public trials to his ultimate execution.
This engaging guide introduces the core Socratic principles and reveals how his method of rigorous self-examination is more relevant than ever in a world filled with misinformation.
