The sexiest book you'll read all year and the most heartening’ CAROLINE O'DONOGHUE ‘A very relatable take on love that will pull at your heartstrings’ RED Bette is in love, for the first time in her life, and everything is perfect.

All Bette needs to do is have lots of casual sex with lots of hot women and then she can return to Mei more ready to settle down. More experienced. What could go wrong?

Transform Your Relationships with Family, Friends and Foes‘An important, profound yet approachable book that could help make the world a far saner and more vibrant place’ OLIVER BURKEMAN, author of Four Thousand Weeks Why do so many conversations leave us feeling unheard and disconnected? Drawing on her celebrated experience as a former BBC journalist, accredited executive coach and mediator, in Deep Listening Emily Kasriel argues that it’s because we’ve forgotten how to truly listen. Distracted by our own agenda, we so often hear without understanding, impatiently waiting for our turn to speak. In this exploration of transfor­mational listening, Kasriel shows how shifting from surface­ level exchanges to deep listening can enrich our relationships as friends, parents and partners, enhance our effectiveness as leaders and strengthen the fabric of our communities.Grounded in scientific studies, new research and powerful stories from legendary listeners in politics, business and the arts, Kasriel unveils her simple yet transformative eight­-step approach. With Deep Listening as your guide, you’ll find inspiration and practical guidance on how we can better listen to each other, even when we fiercely disagree.At once a practical guide and a heartfelt manifesto, this groundbreaking book challenges us to rethink our approach to listening and, in doing so, transform our lives from the inside out. Whether readers seek to strengthen their empathy, boost their performance at work or foster genuine understanding across cultural, political and generational divides, Deep Listening provides the tools and inspiration to unlock the power of lasting, meaningful connections.

In this intimate and open account – nothing like any rock-and-roll memoir you’ve ever read – Alex Van Halen shares his personal story of family, friendship, music and brotherly love in a remarkable tribute to his beloved brother and band mate. ‘A remarkable memoir’ Classic Rock‘A highly emotional read’ GuardianIn his rough yet sweet voice, Alex recounts the brothers’ childhood, first in the Netherlands and then in working class Pasadena, California, with an itinerant musician father and a very proper Indonesian-born mother – the kind of mum who admonished her boys to “always wear a suit” no matter how famous they became – a woman who was both proud and practical, nonchalant about taking a doggie bag from a star-studded dinner. He also shares tales of musical politics, infighting, and plenty of bad-boy behaviour. But mostly his is a story of brotherhood, music, and enduring love."I was with him from day one,” Alex writes. “We shared the experience of coming to America and figuring out how to fit in. We shared a record player, an 800 square foot house, a mom and dad, and a work ethic. Later, we shared the back of a tour bus, alcoholism, the experience of becoming famous, of becoming fathers and uncles, and of spending more hours in the studio than I’ve spent doing anything else in this life. We shared a depth of understanding that most people can only hope to achieve in a lifetime."There has never been an accurate account of them or the band, and Alex wants to set the record straight on Edward’s life and death.
