Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

'In a world dominated by distraction, this book is a timely reminder of the value of focused attention.' Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again 
 
Does your mind wander? 
Do you find it hard to concentrate? 
Do you jump from one task to another? 
Are you stressed? Anxious? Depressed? Fearful? 
The life you want is within reach by learning to focus. 
 
By mastering the skill of focus, we can become our best selves. Focus lies at the core of all human success, but never before have so many of us experienced the inability to concentrate. Distraction is a silent epidemic in our modern world. It is damaging relationships, our working lives and our happiness. We've become masters of distraction because that's what we practice all day, every day. As our fast-paced lives compete with a relentless bombardment of information, we switch focus from one thing to another all the time. 
 
The Power of Unwavering Focus is a practical, ten-step guide to understanding and harnessing the human mind. Whether you're seeking to improve yourself as a parent, a leader or an attentive listener, this book will help you learn how to focus and in doing so, dramatically improve your productivity, relationships, mental health, happiness and your ability to achieve your life goals. 
 
Drawing on ancient Hindu monastic tradition, Dandapani shows us that concentration is a skill that we can learn and improve through practice.

Now that Boris Johnson has left Downing Street to spend more time with his families, you can celebrate/lament his departure with this multiple-choice adventure where you take back control. Packed with 350 million* endings, this is the perfect stocking filler this Christmas. 
(* - this figure may be misleading). 
 
Yes, you are Boris Johnson, about to embark on a quest to fulfil your childhood ambition to be World King, a position so important that you will have to invent it first. 
 
It's not going to be easy. 
 
You will be entranced by a monster called Trump, bewitched by a sorceress called Carrie, captivated by your backbench Orcs - and royally shafted by a little hobgoblin called Michael Gove. 
 
Not everyone wants you to be World King. 
 
So watch out for those false turns which see you begging Prince Harry for a job, rotting in a Dubai jail, recruited by the KGB, wandering round Kabul trying to find 150 dogs to rescue, starting WWIII or mistaking wine, cheese, vomit and karaoke for a work event. 
 
And try instead to use your magical powers to become the Emperor of this land; the star of the hit musical "Boris on Broadway"; or even the PM who leads Britain back into the EU in 2024. 
 
Yes, you are The Neverending Tory. 
 
And this is your story. 
 
Kids of all ages love The Neverending Tory: 
 
"I read the endings where he doesn't become Prime Minister again and again" 
T. May, age 65, Maidenhead 
 
"I have never been Prime Minister, but this book gave me the chance to see what it might be like"

Ian Robertson

Imagine we could discover something that could make us richer,  healthier, longer-living, smarter, kinder, happier, more motivated and  more innovative. What is this elixir? Confidence. If you have it, it can  empower you to reach heights you never thought possible. But if you  don't, it can have a devastating effect on your future. Confidence lies  at the core of what makes things happen. Probing the science and  neuroscience behind confidence that has emerged over the last decade,  clinical psychologist and neuroscientist Professor Ian Robertson tells  us how confidence plays out in our minds, our brains and indeed our  bodies. He explains where it comes from and how it spreads - with  extraordinary economic and political consequences. And why it's not  necessarily something you are born with, but something that can be  learned.

The 3 Things That Will Change Your Destiny Today!

Tony Fadell

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER (MAY 2022). 
 
An unorthodox guide to making things worth making, from 'the father of the iPod and iPhone' and the creator of Nest. 
 
Everyone deserves a mentor. 
 
For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight: 
 
Here's how to think about choosing a job. 
Here's how to be a better manager. 
Here's how to approach design. 
Here's how to start a company. 
Here's how to run it. 
 
Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia. 
 
So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box. 
 
But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks. 
 
Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.

Mary Portas

Retail and brand expert Mary Portas argues that over the past thirty years the business of what we buy has been dominated by the biggest, fastest and cheapest. But those values no longer resonate. We've come to realize that more doesn't equal better. How we live, buy and sell is changing. We are all ready to put people and planet before profit. The post-pandemic era is all about care, respect and understanding the implications of what we're doing. This 'Kindness Economy' is a new value system where in order to thrive businesses must understand the fundamental role they play in the fabric of our lives. They need to add, not just grow, balancing commerce with social progress. Because we don't just want to buy from brands - we want to buy into them. Full of expert insight and invaluable advice, Rebuild is about resetting the dial. It gives businesspeople pause for thought about how to make money, as well as the practical tools to build back post-pandemic. And it speaks to anyone who votes with the pound in their pocket - all of us who, with social progress in mind, want to spend our money differently and better.

*updated with revised introduction and new chapter* 
 
'Digital transformation' and 'disruptive innovation' used to be empty buzzwords serving to justify pointless box-ticking and absurd corporate posturing. And then a global pandemic suddenly forced every kind of organization to embrace genuine, urgent innovation as a matter of survival. But how can we ensure that the non-bullshit version of innovation delivers economic recovery at this crucial moment? Are there strategies we can all adapt from the world's most creative leaders to innovate effectively in our own lives? 
 
David Rowan, founding editor-in-chief of WIRED UK, embarked on a twenty country quest to find out.

'Game changing. Juche is to shape the cultural zeitgeist just as The Little Book of Hygge did.' Fern Brady 
 
'A book to bring shame upon our depraved morals and our wilted-spinach governments.' Ivo Graham 
 
How did North Korea become the envy of the Western world? The answer lies in the wisdom of Juche. 
 
Conceived for the people, by the people, Juche is the guiding philosophy of North Korean culture. It is the bedrock on which the communist revolution has been built. Simply translated, Juche is the art of self-sufficiency; empowering the nation and its comrades to thrive off the resources within themselves. 
 
In this ground-breaking lifestyle guide, readers will be shown the pitfalls of western society and the wonders of Juche. These pages contain the secret to a healthier and happier society. Readers will be taught why sleeping under your desk yields a better work-life balance, why food rationing promotes a greater generosity of spirit, how sealed borders and no-fly-zones prevent the agony of long-distance relationships, and why pensions prevent people from living in the moment. 
 
Written by the Global Juche Ambassador (Comrade Hyun-Gi), Juche is a wakeup call to the western world, inviting us to change our way of living so we can march in happy unison with our socialist allies.
