On her slow journey back to herself, it became clear to her that anxiety doesn’t discriminate, anyone can suffer from it regardless of external circumstances – but anyone can learn to cope with it too.On her personal journey to uncover the coping strategies that work, India tried every imaginable avenue: antidepressants, benzodiazepines, psychotherapy, group therapy, art therapy, drama therapy, CBT, aromatherapy, mindfulness, meditation, hypnosis, EFT, talking therapy, cranial electrotherapy stimulation, neurofeedback, photobiomodulation, supplements, changing her diet, yoga, cold water swimming and more. She combines this personal exploration with the latest medical and lifestyle thinking from world leading experts to produce a clear-sighted, comprehensive and – ultimately – human look at anxiety. This is what it’s like to be in the grip of chronic anxiety – and come out the other side.
One Leg on Earth
''An astonishing talent'' Lauren Groff, author of The Vaster Wilds''One of my favourite living writers'' Jeff VanderMeerTwenty-three-year-old Yosoye arrives in Lagos from her smaller home city of Ibadan, ready to begin her life. With a brand-new degree in communications, she is placed on an internship at a high-end architectural firm developing exclusive waterfront housing throughout the city. For introverted Yosoye, the glossy assignment is a chance to spread her wings, put her talents to use and envision a full and rewarding future. But Yosoye''s idyllic vision of her future in Lagos soon begins to seem naive. Something is not right about the waterfront building project the architectural firm are working on, but no-one will give her satisfactory answers. And then there is the bizarre epidemic sweeping through the city, of pregnant women drawn to water and jumping tragically to their deaths, in rivers, lakes and the sea. Which comes to seem even more chilling when Yosoye realises that after a chance encounter in her first weeks in Lagos, she is pregnant.A vibrant and atmospheric evocation of modern Lagos and the supernatural currents which swirl beneath it, One Leg on Earth is a story about the promises of capitalism and ambition, about individuality and community, and about motherhood and the mysterious lure of the abyss - from a powerful and lyrical new voice.

Shadow Seer Tarot
Work with the “darchetypes” of your shadow self through the tarot• Uses alchemical reconciliation through opposition to illuminate the shadows in our lives for a more complete sense of self• Explores the dark side of the Major and Minor Arcana where the Fool becomes Hubris, the Magician becomes the Manipulator, and the Empress becomes the Cannibal Mother• Offers techniques and card spreads to investigate the “darchetypes” that lurk in our personal and collective unconsciousAs a tool for shadow work and divination, the Shadow Seer Tarot deck and guidebook give methods to see through the blind spots of ordinary tarot readings into the heart of what is often hidden. Using Hermetic principles, Maja D’Aoust defines oppositional energies as they relate to the cards of the tarot. With the alchemical method of reconciliation through opposition, she looks deeper into the familiar meanings of the Major and Minor Arcana to give readers insight into the shadow energies at work in their lives to reveal a path toward wholeness. By inverting the archetypes and revealing their shadow side, or “darchetypes,” Maja opens portals of understanding to the bad behaviors that we often attempt to conceal, repress, or deny. For example, shadow forms are represented in the suit of Cups by cards such as the Toxic Family, the Glutton, Addiction, and Betrayal. In the suit of Wands, the dark side of our drives and passions are exposed in cards like Propaganda, Slander, the False Martyr, and the Avoidant. Working with our secret shadows, rooted to the underworld and our ancestors, reveals deeper truths and a more balanced perception of the world.

Miriam
THE NO. 1 BESTSELLERShortlisted for Biography of the Year, Irish Book Awards 2025‘Hugely uplifting. My mood was completely altered in a really lovely way by it. She is remarkable – really relatable and really kind. I would recommend this very much’ Marian Keyes‘Beautiful … fascinating insights … authentic and open’ Her.ie‘This book is great’ Patrick Kielty, The Late Late Show‘Fast-paced and enjoyable’ Irish Times---The fascinating new memoir from one of Ireland's most celebrated and singular broadcastersI started writing this book as an exclusively work memoir but the work and the personal kept overlapping. I don’t know if that’s because I’m a woman or a mother or both, or none of those reasons. I just know that for my story to be authentic and truthful, I couldn’t simply focus on the work side of my life. Miriam O'Callaghan is one of Ireland's best-known broadcasters, covering every election, referendum, major controversy and important public event for TV, and hosting an award-winning radio show. Combining career success, high-octane glamour and being a mother-of-eight makes her a truly unique figure in Irish public life. In her absorbing memoir, Miriam shares touching stories from her personal life – from the life-changing impact of losing her beloved sister and father in a matter of months, and the end of her first marriage that same year, to the joys and challenges of bringing eight children into the world and juggling a frenetically busy life (‘give up on perfection’ is her wise advice!). Miriam includes fascinating insights into a career that has given her a ringside seat to a changing Ireland. Like attending Bobby Sands’ wake even before she was a journalist, and life coming full circle when she championed John Hume to be declared the greatest figure in Irish history. She describes extraordinary debates, important and heart-breaking conversations with people in the eye of a media storm, and how she goes after and prepares for the big interviews – as well as what happens when things go wrong. Miriam also addresses the recent RTÉ controversies that cast a shadow over its high-profile presenters, not least herself. Miriam is an exceptionally honest and personal memoir from one of Ireland’s most esteemed broadcasters‘Candid and intimate’ Irish Independent
Nature Needs You
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION 2025'Reading Hannah’s story, compellingly told, you will fall in love with these increasingly endangered birds, true masters of the sky.’ Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE ?The inspirational story of a bird lover who became a nature-warrior in a David v Goliath battle to save swifts from extinction. Nature Needs You tells the compelling story of how Hannah, without campaigning experience, funding or contacts, set out to save swifts from extinction in the UK. Her mission is to change the law and make ‘swift bricks’ mandatory so that the birds who nest in our walls will have a future in Britain. Nature Needs You delves into the highs and lows of trying to win hearts and minds, grab the news agenda with her naked Feather Speech, win Caroline Lucas and Lord Zac Goldsmith’s support, navigate meetings with Secretaries of State and debates in the Houses of Parliament, survive the trolling and midnight self-doubt and raise a petition with the requisite 100,000 signatures for a Parliamentary debate. At stake, with a decline in numbers of over 60% since 1995, are the birds who have become our symbol of summer, the swifts screaming in the skies above us. Steeped in love for the wild, by a talented writer, Nature Needs You is a clarion call to save the nature on our doorsteps and to prove that passion can be a superpower in bringing change to nature-depleted Britain. Raw, funny, self-deprecating and unstoppable in turn, this is nature writing with the pace of a thriller. Hannah is now knocking at the door of the new Labour Secretary of State for Housing, in the hope that, where Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove failed, Angela Rayner and Matthew Pennycook will save our swifts. ‘I applaud Hannah’s book; her inner steel and her sassy take on conservation are inspiring. I am so heartened that there are courage-driven young women holding nature in the light so that it WILL be seen by the powerful.’ Mary Colwell, author of Curlew Moon ‘This book might make you scream. It is the story of a fight that started with a promise to a small bird. It is about bird spirit and the spirit of a very singular human. Hannah Bourne-Taylor has a searing eye for both truth and charlatans.‘ Keggie Carew, author of Beastly ‘A wonderful book that will make you furious, hopeful and inspired by turns. Buy it, read it and then become an activist yourself.’ Roger Morgan-Grenville, author of Shearwaters
Decomposition Book
An emotional, electrifying, and darkly hilarious debut about a woman who finds a dead body and can't give up its ghost, for fans of Mona Awad, Yellowjackets, and weird girl fiction. Ava thought the great tragedy of her life would be getting stuck in a dead-end office job, but reality looks even grimmer when she goes on an ill-fated hike with two of her coworkers. Meanwhile, spiraling from a disastrous falling-out with her mercurial best friend, Savannah retreats to her parents' empty lake house in upstate New York. Her days blend together in a hazy swirl of clinically concerning overthinking and alcohol-until she chases her nightly bottle of wine with an Ambien and wakes up in the woods behind her house... next to a dead body. Unfortunately, Savannah is so down bad that this well-preserved corpse offers some compelling friend potential; after all, a dead person can't judge you, they're amazing listeners, and they're not going to leave. This particular dead person also comes with a handy journal detailing her last six months lost in the woods! Ava, as it turns out, is more than just a cold, lonely corpse. She was funny. She was smart. And Savannah has finally found someone she can talk to... As Savannah spends more time with both the Ava in front of her and the Ava of the journal, she begins to feel something for Ava she hasn't felt for anyone else-and there's a good chance letting go would haunt her for the rest of her life. Is Savannah finally losing her grip? Or has she found what she's needed all along?

Terrible Worlds: Destinations
The Future Is The Journey. The vastness of space, the endless ribbon of time, worlds beyond our own: humanity has always been driven to explore, to pass the horizon and enter the unknown. For too many, that drive is what ultimately destroys us. In three critically-acclaimed novellas, the "British master of science fiction" (Reactor) takes you into a mysterious artefact at the edge of the Solar system, to the very last day of time, into a world apparently born of children’s stories, with fearless – and sometimes hapless – explorers... and shows us why sometimes it’s best to stay at home. Collecting Tchaikovsky's critically acclaimed novellas Walking to Aldebaran (2019), One Day All This Will Be Yours (2021) and And Put Away Childish Things (2023) for the first time, Terrible Worlds: Destinations gives you three glimpses of the limits of reality.
