Matthew Crawford

In this brilliant follow-up to The Case for Working with Your Hands, Matthew Crawford investigates the challenge of mastering one's own mind. With ever-increasing demands on our attention, and with capitalism increasingly invading every space, how do we focus on what's really important in our lives? 
 
Exploring the intense focus of ice-hockey players, the flow of a cook in their element, and the inherited craft of building pipe organs, Crawford argues that in order to flourish, we need to return to lives where we establish meaningful connections with objects and the people around us.

Russ Roberts

What does an economist who died in 1790 have to say about the moral life, the good life, the mystery of human interaction, and the place that ambition and fame play in our lives? Plenty. 
 
The Wealth of Nations remains a pillar in economic theory, but Adam Smith considered his other, lesser-known great work a superior book. Economics professor Russell Roberts always meant to read The Theory of Moral Sentiments, and when he finally did, it changed his life. Rather than read the dense tome, Roberts has devised an ingenious way to 'channel' Adam Smith by presenting his lessons in an accessible and fun way.

How We Are

Laura Vanderkam

Everyone has an opinion, anecdote, or horror story about powerful women in successful careers. But instead of relying on scattered stories, time management expert Laura Vanderkam decided to get some hard data. 
 
Looking at time-logs of 1,001 days in the lives of women who make at least $100,000 a year, Vanderkam found some surprising patterns: these women slept more than they thought, went to the gym, played with their children, and had lunches with friends. With examples from hundreds of women I Know How She Does It proves that you don't have to give up on the things you really want and offers specific strategies to help you build a life that works, one hour at a time.

Numbers don't lie - but they often mislead us.

Feedback is everywhere. Friends, family, colleagues, doctors, even strangers - they all assess, coach and criticize our performance, personalities and appearance. Yet although we know that feedback is essential for relationships and careers, we dread it and even dismiss it. That's because although we want to learn and grow, we also want to be accepted just as we are. 
 
Thanks for the Feedback is the first book to address this tension head on. In it, the world-renowned team behind the Harvard Negotiation Project offer a simple framework and powerful tools that show us how to take on life's blizzard of comments and advice with curiosity and grace.

Barbara Taylor

In July 1988, Barbara Taylor, then an acclaimed young historian, was admitted to what had once been England's largest psychiatric institution: Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, later known as Friern Hospital. 
 
This searingly honest, thought-provoking and beautifully written memoir is the story of the author's madness years, set inside the wider story of the death of the asylum system in the twentieth century. It is a meditation on her own experience of breakdown and healing, but also that of the millions of other people who have suffered, are suffering, will suffer mental illness.

A Memoir of Madness in our Times

Nicholas Epley

From leading psychologist Nicholas Epley, Mindwise reveals our real sixth sense - our ability to understand our own minds and the minds of others 
 
Arguably our brain's greatest sense is the ability to understand the minds of others - our sixth sense. In Mindwise, renowned psychologist Nicholas Epley shows that this incredible capacity for inferring what others are thinking and feeling is, however sophisticated, still prone to critical errors. We often misread social situations, misjudge others' characters, or guess the wrong motives for their actions. Drawing on the latest in psychological research, Epley suggests that only by learning more about our sixth sense will we have the humility to overcome these errors and understand others as they actually are instead of as we imagine them to be. 
 
'Lucid and magnetic ... a guide to understanding the minds of others' Independent 
 
'A comfortingly slim volume about the ability we all have to understand others ... how wonderful to have this insight into the extent of our ignorance' - Dominic Lawson, Sunday Times 
 
Nicholas Epley is the John T. Keller Professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He has written for The New York Times, and has published over 50 articles in two dozen journals in his field. He was named a "Professor to Watch" by the Financial Times, is the winner of the 2008 Theoretical Innovation Prize from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, and was awarded the 2011 Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology from the American Psychological Association.

Do What You're Meant to Do

Niall Harbison

Do you start every day with a 'to do' list? Every year with new resolutions? Do you fantasise about winning the lottery, travelling the world or retiring at forty? Many of us dream big but we never truly believe we can achieve our life's ambitions. 
 
But it doesn't have to be like this. It is possible to make dreams come true as Niall Harbison has found out - aged just 33, and within 1000 days of starting a business in his bedroom, he sold it for millions. Before that he had already lived a charmed life. As a private chef for billionaires (among other highlights, cooking for Bill Gate's fiftieth birthday) he travelled all over the world, getting paid to do so while enjoying a lifestyle normally reserved for the rich and famous. 
 
Now Niall Harbison shares his secrets in Get Sh*t Done! Get Sh!t Done! contains a unique set of principles and a new way of thinking. It includes 'life hacks' that will help you escape the nine-to-five and make the things you dream about actually happen - and quicker than you could ever imagine. 
 
Let Niall Harbison be your inspiration. Learn how he got paid to snowboard all day and to surf in Hawaii, still gets paid to go on holiday and has never worked a day in his life. Stop dreaming and instead start getting sh!t done!
