'A tour de force.' 
Venki Ramakrishnan, Nobel Laureate and author of Why We Die 
 
In this breakthrough moment in the history of human health care, Super Agers is an evidenced-based guide to the revolution transforming human longevity. From his unique position as a leader overseeing millions in research funding, Dr Topol explains how you can benefit from new the treatments becoming available at a faster rate than ever, and the fundamental reasons — from semaglutides to AI — that we can be confident these breakthroughs will continue. 
 
More than a quarter of the adult population lives with two or more chronic diseases, with that figure increasing to over half in individuals aged 65 and older. Dr Topol explains the power of the new approaches to the worst chronic killers — diabetes/obesity, heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration—and how treatments can begin long before middle age, and even long after. In thirty years, we will have five times as many people at least one hundred years old and they will be healthier than ever because of the breakthroughs Super Agers describes. 
 
These remarkable discoveries are deeply inspiring about our human potential. We can now realistically see how we can make considerable headway for preventing age-related diseases and may one day be able to slow the body-wide aging process itself. 
 
'Imagine a world where diseases once thought incurable are treated, where we are healthier for longer. This future is getting close thanks to a radical convergence of AI and bioscience. In this gripping, vitally important and meticulously researched account, Eric Topol reveals the extraordinary breakthroughs that are transforming medicine—and our lives.'

Time and time again, great thinkers like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have credited their success to mental models: simple representations of how the world works that can be applied in a wide array of contexts. Mastering a small number of these concepts enables you to rapidly grasp new information, identify patterns others don&rsquo;t, and better anticipate outcomes. 
 
The Great Mental Models introduces the most powerful models that anyone can use right away to improve decision making and productivity. In this volume, Shane Parrish introduces the universal concepts that underpin better thinking, including: 
<ul><li>Occam&rsquo;s Razor: When faced with competing hypotheses, the simplest explanation is often the best one.</li><li>Circle of competence: We operate optimally in the territory we know best and the quality of our thinking decreases as we venture too far outside our areas of expertise.</li><li>Inversion: To invert a problem is to think about it in reverse, and thereby work out what not to do in response.</li></ul> 
Building a latticework of mental models is one of the most powerful things you can do to become a better thinker, leader, or creator. The Great Mental Models is the accessible guide you need to unlock this ability.

Daniel Coyle

How do we set about finding greater fulfilment in our lives? How do we achieve a sense of well-being? How do we foster relationships that will add depth and meaning to our existence? How, in other words, do we go from living to flourishing? 
 
 
In his new book, bestselling author Daniel Coyle trains his expert eye on the people who have demonstrated exceptional powers of dynamism and connectivity, and teases out their secrets. The Chilean miners who withstood being trapped deep underground for 33 days by establishing rituals of belonging and purpose. The Dutch community that sparked urban renewal through a smart system of self-organisation. The delicatessen in Michigan that has grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise, not by writing business plans but by shaping attentional space – focussing on how people show up, listen and engage. From such remarkable stories of individual and group achievement, Coyle distils the core dynamics that make them possible – and, in the process, shows how small, deliberate shifts in how we think and interact can create extraordinary impact. 
 
Whether you are seeking a deeper sense of personal contentment or aspiring to transform a team or community, Flourish is the indispensable guide to shaping the future you want.

60 Highly Effective Actions to Help Your Group Succeed

Shefali Tsabary

A powerful wake-up call, a hands-on guide and a pathway forward to reclaim how daughters are seen, supported and raised in the 21st century, by clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr Shefali Tsabary. 
Something unprecedented is unfolding in the inner lives of our girls today. On the surface, they are excelling and achieving in ways that would seem unimaginable to previous generations. Yet beneath this success lies a far more urgent and unsettling truth: Girls are unravelling at alarming rates. Anxiety, perfectionism, and self-harm are surging, exposing a devastating paradox between the confident, high-achieving facade the world applauds and the fragile, unmoored self that struggles silently within. In a digital age that commodifies attention, comparison, and worth, this inner fracture is no longer slow or subtle. 
Into this urgent moment comes Raising Conscious Daughters, the groundbreaking new book from clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Shefali, founder of the revolutionary Conscious Parenting movement. Drawing on real-life clinical cases, interviews with children and parents, and deeply practical, prescriptive guidance, Dr. Shefali offers a radical reorientation of how we understand girls today. 
In this book she shows parents how to raise daughters who: 
<ul><li>Trust their inner voice</li><li>Set boundaries with confidence and clarity</li><li>Stay emotionally connected to their authentic self</li></ul> 
At a time when girls appear more capable than ever yet feel more fragile within, Raising Conscious Daughters stands as a one-of-a-kind guide for helping them grow into empowered, worthy and resilient beings.

The word-of-mouth phenomenon that transformed how we lead and live 
 
Most leaders don’t realise they’re operating on autopilot – reacting defensively, managing through fear, and fueling workplace drama. The Fifteen Commitments of Conscious Leadership offers a groundbreaking framework, adopted by top companies from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, for reshaping how people work together. It is radically simple: at any moment, we can choose to lead consciously – open, curious, and self-aware – or unconsciously – closed, fearful, and reactive. 
 
 
Originally self-published and shared among executives and coaches, The Fifteen Commitments of Conscious Leadership quickly became a favourite in boardrooms and beyond. Drawing upon decades of experience, the authors distil conscious leadership into fifteen actionable commitments – from taking radical responsibility to feeling all feelings – that replace command-and-control style management with curiosity, accountability, and connection. The result? Conscious leaders who unlock the full potential in every member of their team and free them from institutional politics so they can do the best work of their lives. 
 
 
Blending practical tools with real-world stories, this enduring classic is more than a guide for better management – it’s a roadmap to a more authentic, fulfilling life.

An Attachment-Informed Guide to Building More Secure Relationships

Jim Collins

THE QUESTION 
 
What to make of a life? 
 
It is a question we all wrestle with more than once. How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs, significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late? 
 
Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analysing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog. 
 
THE STUDY 
 
His exploration compares various lives side by side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken.<ul><li>Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success.</li><li>Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and then left with the puzzle of what to do next.</li><li>Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives.</li><li>Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end.</li></ul> 
What emerges from Collins’s extensive studies — of writers, actors, scientists, leaders, and many others — is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained, and constantly renewed. 
 
THE FINDINGS 
 
By examining the long arc of these remarkable lives, Collins tackles life’s questions. What does it take to:<ul><li>Discover a deeply fulfilling role in life — one that you are naturally 'encoded' for — and then find second one, if the first one ends?</li><li>Overcome a major cliff — a fracture point that forces choices about what’s next and calls for you to reenvision the years to come?</li><li>Make your personal economics work so that you can focus on One Big Thing that feeds your inner fire?</li><li>Navigate the fog when you feel uncertain or even outright lost, and build confidence step by step</li><li>Minimise the impact of bad luck and ensure the maximum return on good luck?</li><li>Build personal momentum decade upon decade, so that your most creative and energetic years are spread across an entire lifetime?</li><li>Achieve the imperative to 'Know Thyself' and apply self-knowledge to each phase of life?</li></ul>THE TRANSFORMATION 
 
For the first time, Collins movingly chronicles his own story to reveal how undertaking this project transformed him, changing his thinking and reshaping his emotions in fundamental ways. 'After this study,' writes Collins, 'I will never look at life the same ever again.' 
 
Surprising, story-driven, deeply researched, and uplifting, What to Make of a Life is a book like no other and convincingly shows how a richly fulfilled life is within reach for us all.

Florence Comite

Pioneering expert in longevity, Dr Florence Comite, provides a comprehensive plan for defy your genetic destiny and live healthier, longer. 
 
What determines how long, and how well, we live? Many of us assume we should look to our family history for clues – will we have a heart attack at fifty like Dad or develop Type 2 diabetes at seventy like Mum? It makes sense that we’d inherit the same path to ageing.

Her clinical research reveals that your genes do not have to be your destiny.

Erica Komisar

A framework for child-centred divorce from acclaimed psychoanalyst and award-winning author, Erica Komisar. 
 
A good divorce is better than a bad marriage, but for children that doesn’t make the split any easier. Legal decisions have emotional consequences. Well-meaning parents can become hostile, insecure, or jealous, and well-adjusted kids can grieve the loss of the family unit, rage at the pain that they feel, or prey on parental guilt. 
 
In The Child-Healthy Divorce, acclaimed psychoanalyst and award-winning author Erica Komisar marshals more than 30 years of clinical experience and extensive research to show readers how to make an effective plan that centres children’s needs, including how to talk about what’s happening, how to maintain normal routines, and what to know about kids of different ages. For example, interrupting a child’s attachment with the primary caregiver before age three can lead to behavioural problems later in life. Teens going to college also need a stable home as a foundation to establish their own independence. 
 
With numerous case studies and practical strategies, the book shows parents how to create age-appropriate custody arrangements, reassure kids without invalidating their feelings, and build a positive support system. It also provides helpful guidance about new partners, blended families, and other special situations. Most importantly, it offers hope. 
 
No one with kids wants a divorce, but if that step becomes necessary, this book can help readers establish the emotional security that their children need for success in life.

Harry Reis

A globally renowned happiness scientist and a top relationship researcher draw on the science of happiness, love, and human connection to offer a powerful framework to help readers appreciate and nurture what makes them feel truly loved. 
 
‘There aren't two scientists in the world I trust more to deliver research-backed, actionable recommendations on how to improve your relationships.’ ANGELA DUCKWORTH, bestselling author of Grit 
 
'A deeply-researched and beautifully-written guide to finding what we all need for true happiness. This book might change your life. ' ARTHUR C. BROOKS, bestselling author of The Happiness Files 
 
----------- 
 
We can be loved — and still not feel loved. Many people believe that if they behave the right way, say the right things, or make themselves more lovable, they will feel more loved. But this kind of reflexive thinking is fundamentally misguided, causing a disconnect that can lead to loneliness, depression, and self-doubt. 
 
Sonja Lyubomirsky, the world’s preeminent expert on happiness, and Harry Reis, one of the world’s leading experts on relationships and connection, have studied the complexities of well-being and love in depth. Truly feeling loved, they’ve discovered, differs widely from the actions that we usually associate with loving, being loved, and falling in love.In this exceptional book, they present a radical, hopeful, and science-backed shift in how to think about love, revealing that feeling loved isn’t about making ourselves more appealing, available, and lovable — it’s about showing our full and vulnerable selves to others and encouraging our loved ones to reveal their full and vulnerable selves to us. This is true for romantic love but also for the love we feel in friendship, family, and beyond.In How to Feel Love, they introduce five powerful mindsets — tools to help us feel the love we crave with the people in our lives: 
A Sharing mindset — showing our vulnerabilities and inner world, not just the polished partsA Listening-to-Learn mindset — making space to truly tune in to another, not just to take turns speakingA Radical Curiosity mindset — being genuinely interested in another and asking better questionsAn Open-Heart mindset — being kind and affirming to another for who they truly areA Multiplicity mindset — embracing the messy complexity in all of us 
 
These mindset shifts give shape to a dynamic back-and-forth process the authors call the Relationship See-Saw, which will help readers remake their conversations in ways that enable them to deeply know those they love and become deeply known by them. 
 
It isn’t enough to be loved. To be truly fulfilled, we must feel loved. This book shows us how.

The Five Mindsets That Get You More of What Matters Most

Amir Levine

Years after revolutionising our understanding of attachment styles, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr Amir Levine returns with a brilliant, paradigm-shifting work on the science of secure human connection. As Dr Levine explains in Secure, people with a secure attachment style are the most comfortable not just in their relationships, but also in their own skins. And remarkably, the latest research shows that anyone, regardless of how insecure they may feel, can learn to create a secure life. 
 
The benefits of living in 'secure mode' are extraordinary: people tend to be healthier and have a better relationship with health care professionals. When they do have a difficult illness, they have fewer symptoms and handle it better emotionally. If they’re looking for a job, they’re more effective in their search and their self-esteem doesn’t suffer as much. They are less susceptible to consumerism. They even navigate social media better and experience fewer negative impacts. 
 
In Secure, Dr Levine presents his pioneering approach, Secure Therapy and Coaching, offering practical, neuroscience-backed tools to help readers cultivate security so that they can thrive. Secure is the definitive guide for anyone looking to improve their emotional health, deepen their connections, and build more fulfilling lives.

The Revolutionary Guide to Creating a Secure Life

Benjamin Todd

'This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I’ve seen.' Cal Newport, author of Deep Work 
 
A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in an age of AI. 
 
You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is the most important decision you’ll ever make. 
 
Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world’s most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades. 
 
So what should you do? Most advice is based on no research, instead offering (misleading) platitudes like ‘follow your passion’. It’s surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic: telling you to choose careers like nurse or doctor, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones. 
 
Benjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that’s spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career. Here he introduces a tried-and-tested toolkit framework that has already led thousands of people to change their path. It covers:<ul><li>What really makes for a dream job, and why finding it probably doesn’t involve ‘following your passion’.</li><li>How to identify which global problems are most pressing, and why they might involve AI as much as climate change.</li><li>Which roles are likely to be automated, and how to ensure yours isn’t among them.</li></ul>It’s also full of practical tips and tools. You’ll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that’s rewarding and fulfils your potential to make a difference.

How to Find a Fulfilling Career That Does Good

A ground-breaking look at the science of love and connection – and an urgent corrective to some of our most fundamental assumptions about attraction. 
 
'In a world saturated with cynical advice about dating and gender, this book is a revelation . . . Bonded by Evolution is rigorous science written with warmth and moral clarity.' DANIEL H. PINK, author of Drive and The Power of Regret 
 
--------------------- 
 
We’re told that what men and women desire from relationship is different – he’s looking for novelty, she’s looking for commitment; he’s concerned with looks, she’s concerned with status. 
 
We’re told that we live in a hierarchy of romantic inequality – where some are 10s and others are 2s; where some people are marriage material and others are wired for promiscuity. 
 
But this narrative is unscientific. 
 
Such ideas have their roots in a branch of science called evolutionary psychology, and over the past few decades its ideas have permeated our culture and fuelled a narrative that inspires despair and anxiety – and, in its most extreme form, these ideas have been hijacked in the service of misogyny and violence. 
 
But the truth about human attraction – and the way evolution plays out in our romantic lives – is much more interesting and optimistic. 
 
Bonded by Evolution offers a radical new picture of the roots of enduring chemistry. Distilling evolutionary biology, anthropology and psychology and informed by his pathbreaking research and original experiments at the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory in California, psychology professor Paul Eastwick reveals how attraction is best depicted as a process of finding – and, often, creating – a compatible relationship. 
 
Once we understand how ancestral humans sought compatible partners in small networks, we can build a clearer – and brighter – picture of how attraction, sex and relationships really work.

'Profound and pragmatic, suggesting an entirely different approach to the study – and pursuit – of love.' ERIC KLINENBERG, co-author of Modern Romance 
 
'Rarely have scientific rigor and exuberant optimism been such congenial companions . . . Bonded by Evolution presents an optimistic new paradigm, one that provides clear guidance for romantic success.' ELI FINKEL, author of The All or Nothing Marriage

What We’ve Got Wrong About Love and Connection

Noemi Orvos-Toth

'Riveting . . . This enthralling book will make you think more deeply about your own relationships, and the things that have been left unsaid.' MAIL ON SUNDAY 
 
'Immediately appealing . . . a welcome deepening of how we understand the human predicament and a pertinent antidote to the sometimes aggressive individualism of our time.' THE IRISH TIMES 
 
------ 
 
The international bestseller. 
 
Our families shape who we are. From the circumstances of our conception and the family structure we are born into, to the expectations placed upon us and the love we receive, we are formed by our social and familial network. So if we want to truly know ourselves – to find out why we falter, to explain our anxieties, our repeated relationship patterns – we must look beyond our own lives and discover the secrets, unprocessed losses, and limiting beliefs of our parents, grandparents, and even to ancestors we have never met. 
 
In Inherited Fate, psychologist Noémi Orvos-Tóth invites the reader on a journey of self-awareness that spans generations. Illustrated with vivid stories and questions that invite the reader to engage personally, Inherited Fate is a fascinating framework for discovery of the self, the dismantling of inherited beliefs and the revelation of wisdom stored in the body. 
 
We cannot undo what has happened, but if we understand it, the past can help give a different shape to the present and to our future. 
 
 
Inherited Fate explores: 
<ul><li>the impact of the events surrounding conception and birth – such as the stress our mothers experienced during pregnancy, the expectations of our parents about our sex or our role in the family, or where we fall in the birth order;</li><li>the far-reaching spillover effects of repressing trauma – both individual and collective;</li><li>the deep marks left by the attachment pattern formed in childhood, and how it returns in the relationships of adulthood;</li><li>how family secrets divide us, distort reality and destroy trust, even when they remain buried.</li></ul>

‘Illuminating . . . A compassionate understanding of how we can recognise and reconcile the legacies we carry.’ Galit Atlas, psychoanalyst and author of Emotional Inheritance 
 
‘A deep and comprehensive look at the ways that those ordinary people we call “parents” unwittingly share their pain with their children; and how important it is for all of us “children” to be aware of such historical pain, and explore ways to transform it.’ Gwen Adshead, forensic psychiatrist and psychotherapist and author of The Devil You Know 
 
'A sage companion for anyone who has wanted, or needed, to confront the past and engage with the present. Inherited Fate is full of possibility and curiosity, and disrupts the avoidant gaze . . . Offers rigour to the ongoing conversation of embodied trauma.' Maxine Mei-Fung Chung, psychotherapist and author of What Women Want
