Big Little Hacks to Take You a Long Way at Work

Richard Schwartz

'Innovative and transformational' - Gabor Maté 
'Changed my life' - Rangan Chatterjee 
 
The empowering new way to discover your multifaceted mind. 
 
Do you long to break free from a stuck part of you - the inner critic, 'monkey mind', a bad habit or an addiction? What if there was a way to approach those aspects of you, to free you from the constant inner struggle and find true healing? 
 
In this groundbreaking international bestseller, Dr Richard Schwartz reveals that we are each born with an 'internal family' of distinct parts within us. Some of our parts can become trapped in destructive patterns, but learning to relate to each of them with curiosity, respect and empathy can vastly expand our capacity to heal. 
 
The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model will help you challenge the destructive behaviour of these parts, turn the ego, the inner critic and the saboteur into powerful allies, and allow you to return to a more whole and harmonious 'Self'.

Get what you want from even the most difficult characters 
 
All of us have to deal with difficult people. Whether we're asking our neighbour to move a fence or our boss for a pay rise, we can struggle to avoid arguments and get what we want. 
 
Laurence and Emily Alison are world leaders in forensic psychology, and they specialise in the most difficult interactions imaginable: criminal interrogations. They advise and train the police, security agencies, the FBI and the CIA on how to deal with extremely dangerous suspects when the stakes are high. 
 
After 30 years' work - and unprecedented access to 2,000 hours of terrorist interrogations - they have developed a ground-breaking model of interpersonal communication. This deceptively simple approach to handling any encounter works as well for teenagers as it does for terrorists. Now it's time to share it with the world. 
 
Rapport reveals that every interaction follows four styles: Control (the lion), Capitulate (the mouse), Confront (the Tyrannosaur) and Co-operate (the monkey). As soon as you understand these styles and your own goals you can shape any conversation at will. And you'll be closer to the real secret: how to create instant rapport.

The Four Ways to Read People

Brené Brown

The original must-read, bestselling guide to becoming the best leader you can be from the critically-acclaimed author of Atlas of the Heart, Braving the Wilderness and The Gifts of Imperfection. 
 
‘A practical and insightful guide to courageous leadership’ Sheryl Sandberg, former Facebook COO and bestselling author of Lean In 
 
‘The ultimate playbook for daring leadership’ Scott Harrison, founder and CEO of Charity: Water 
 
Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and look to develop that potential. 
 
Brené Brown spent the past two decades researching the emotions that give meaning to our lives. She has found that leaders in organisations ranging from small entrepreneurial start-ups and family-owned businesses to non-profits, civic organisations and Fortune 50 companies, are all asking the same questions: 
 
How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? And, how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? 
 
Dare to Lead answers these questions, giving us actionable strategies and real examples from her new research-based, courage-building programme. 
 
This inspiring book shows us that, when we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work. 
 
Written with Brown’s trademark mix of research, storytelling and honesty, Dare to Lead is a book for anyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead.

Timothy Ferriss

Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, shares the ultimate choose-your-own-adventure book—a compilation of tools, tactics, and habits from 130+ of the world's top performers. From iconic entrepreneurs to elite athletes, from artists to billionaire investors, their short profiles can help you answer life's most challenging questions, achieve extraordinary results, and transform your life. 
 
From the author: 
 
In 2017, several of my close friends died in rapid succession. It was a very hard year, as it was for many people. 
 
It was also a stark reminder that time is our scarcest, non-renewable resource. 
 
With a renewed sense of urgency, I began asking myself many questions: 
 
Were my goals my own, or simply what I thought I should want? 
How much of life had I missed from underplanning or overplanning? 
How could I be kinder to myself? 
How could I better say “no” to the trivial many to better say “yes” to the critical few? 
How could I best reassess my priorities and my purpose in this world? 
 
To find answers, I reached out to the most impressive world-class performers in the world, ranging from wunderkinds in their 20s to icons in their 70s and 80s. No stone was left unturned. 
 
This book contains their answers—practical and tactical advice from mentors who have found solutions. Whether you want to 10x your results, get unstuck, or reinvent yourself, someone else has traveled a similar path and taken notes. 
 
This book, Tribe of Mentors, includes many of the people I grew up viewing as idols or demi-gods. Less than 10% have been on my podcast (The Tim Ferriss Show, more than 200 million downloads), making this a brand-new playbook of playbooks. 
 
No matter your challenge or opportunity, something in these pages can help. 
 
Among other things, you will learn: 
 
More than 50 morning routines—both for the early riser and those who struggle to get out of bed. 
How TED curator Chris Anderson realized that the best way to get things done is to let go. 
The best purchases of $100 or less (you'll never have to think about the right gift again). 
How to overcome failure and bounce back towards success. 
Why Humans of New York creator Brandon Stanton believes that the best art will always be the riskiest. 
How to meditate and be more mindful (and not just for those that find it easy). 
Why tennis champion Maria Sharapova believe that “losing makes you think in ways victories can’t.” 
How to truly achieve work-life balance (and why most people tell you it isn’t realistic). 
How billionaire Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz transformed the way he engages with difficult situations to reduce suffering. 
Ways to thrive (and survive) the overwhelming amount of information you process every day. 
How to achieve clarity on your purpose and assess your priorities. 
And much more. 
 
This reference book, which I wrote for myself, has already changed my life. I certainly hope the same for you. 
 
I wish you luck as you forge your own path. 
 
All the best, 
 
Tim Ferriss

Short Life Advice from the Best in the World

Edward de Bono

Don’t chase the market leader, be the market leader. 
 
Edward de Bono, the bestselling author of Serious Creativity and inventor of lateral thinking teaches you how to move beyond the baseline of competition and find success with sur/petition. 
 
It's simple. If you want to survive in the global marketplace a competitive streak is essential. But what if you want to do more than just survive? In Sur/petition de Bono explains how choosing to run in your own race instead of alongside others will give you the edge over other businesses and creating value monopolies will allow your business to not only survive but become successful. 
 
Broken down into 3 sections Sur/petition will explain: 
 
1. Why most fundamental habits of management thinking maybe inadequate and even dangerous for your business 
2. The difference between traditional competition and sur/petition 
3. The meaning of ‘valufacture’ and how to create value for your business 
 
Drawing from his immense experience consulting the top corporations in the world, de Bono shows you how to go 'beyond competition' and create a new winning game.

'Deborah James captured the heart of the nation' - The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge @KensingtonRoyal 
 
'Brave, bright, beautiful' - Lorraine Kelly 
 
'Deborah's ability to find positivity in the darkest of places is an inspiration to us all' - Davina McCall 
 
'This book has shaken me awake. I gulped it down in one sitting, then sat and cried... [But] hope is a character on every single page' - Christie Watson 
 
------------------- 
 
I was alive when I should have been dead. In another movie, I missed the sliding door and departed this wondrous life long ago. Like so many others, I had to learn to live not knowing if I have a tomorrow, because, statistically, I didn't. At the age of 35, I was blindsided by incurable bowel cancer - I was given less than an 8 per cent chance of surviving five years. Five years later, my only option was to live in the now and to value one day at a time. 
 
-------------------- 
 
How do you turn your mind from a negative spiral into realistic and rebellious hope? How do you stop focusing on the why and realise that 'why not me' is just as valid a question? 
 
When Deborah James was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer at just 35, she learned a powerful lesson: the way we respond to any given situation empowers or destroys us. And with the right skills and approach, we can all face huge challenges and find strength and hope in the darkest of places. 
 
How to Live When You Could Be Dead will show you how. It will awaken you to question your life as if you didn't have a tomorrow and live it in the way you want to today. By harnessing the power of positivity and valuing each day as though it could be your last, you'll find out, as Deborah did, that it is possible to live with joy and purpose, no matter what.

How to Live When You Could Be Dead

*NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* 
 
#1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown returns with an urgent call to reimagine the essentials of courageous leadership. In a time when uncertainty runs deep and bluster, hubris and even cruelty are increasingly framed as acceptable leadership, Brown delivers practical, actionable insights that illuminate the mindsets and skill sets essential to reclaiming focus and driving growth through connection, discipline and accountability. 
 
Over the past six years, Brené Brown, along with a global community of coaches and facilitators, has taken more than 150,000 leaders in 45 countries through her Dare to Lead courage-building work. In Strong Ground, Brown shares the lessons from these experiences along with wisdom from other thinkers. This is a vital playbook for everyone from senior leaders developing and executing complex strategies to Gen Z-ers entering and navigating turbulent work environments. It is also an unflinching assessment of what happens when we continue to perpetuate the falsehood that performance and wholeheartedness are mutually exclusive. 
 
With equal amounts of optimism and caution about AI, Brown writes, 'I hear a lot of experts trying to soothe people’s anxiety about the pace of technological change by offering platitudes like, What makes us human will ensure our relevance. This is dangerous simply because, right now, we’re not especially good at what makes us human. We’re not hardwired for this level of uncertainty, and many of us feel as if the constant need to self-protect is driving the humanity right out of us. This is why organisational transformation today must foster deep connection, deep thinking and deep collaboration. We need the courage to lead people in a way that honours and protects the wisdom of the human spirit.' 
 
Brown offers a broad assessment of the skill sets and mindsets we need moving forward, including the capacity for respectful and difficult conversations, increased productive urgency and smart prioritisation rather than reactivity, strategic risk-taking, paradoxical thinking and situational and anticipatory awareness skills. She identifies the toughest skill set as the discipline, humility and confidence to unlearn and relearn. 
 
Brown writes, 'Individuals and organisations are building new muscles. Finding our strong ground — that athletic stance — is the only thing that can provide both unwavering stability in a maelstrom of uncertainty and a platform for the fast, explosive change that the world is demanding.'

Katy Milkman

'Game-changing. Katy Milkman shows in this book that we can all be a super human' Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit 
 
How to Change is a powerful, groundbreaking blueprint to help you - and anyone you manage, teach or coach - to achieve personal and professional goals, from the master of human nature and behaviour change and Choiceology podcast host Professor Katy Milkman. 
 
Award-winning Wharton Professor Katy Milkman has devoted her career to the study of behaviour change. An engineer by training, she approaches all challenges as problems to be solved and, with this mind-set, has drilled into the roadblocks that prevent us from achieving our goals and breaking unwanted behaviours. The key to lasting change, she argues, is not to set ever more audacious goals or to foster good habits but to get your strategy right. 
 
In How to Change Milkman identifies seven human impulses, or 'problems', that commonly sabotage our attempts to make positive personal and professional change. Then, crucially, instead of getting you to do battle with these impulses she shows you how to harness them and use these as driving forces to help instil new, positive behaviours - better, faster and more efficiently than you could imagine. 
 
Drawing her own original research, countless engaging case studies and practical tools throughout to help you put her ideas into action, Milkman reveals a proven, inspiring path that can take you - once and for all - from where you are today to where you want to be.

While conventional medicine has disease as its focus, integrated medicine concentrates on the powers of the body that promote health. Central to Dr Ali's philosophy is this concept of self-help and the fact that 80 per cent of illness can be cured without drugs. He believes the majority of illnesses are caused by the emotional, psychological and physical strain we put ourselves under. The Integrated Health Bible shows you how to reverse this by helping the body heal itself and to restore vitality and well-being. This is done by following the Lifestyle Programme, which consists of a regimen of diet, exercise, yoga, relaxation and meditation. And for when things go wrong, there is a diagnosis and treatment programme for up to 40 common ailments - including asthma, back problems, infertility, migraine, sinusitis and stress - combining specific treatments (such as homeopathy, acupuncture, ayurveda), exercises and tips for each problem.

How to Get to the Top

Business lessons learned at the dinner table

Jamil Qureshi

Although in this world everyone is different, we all share the common goal of wanting to succeed; be it in sport, business or relationships. The truth is, however, that few people - if any - ever achieve their true potential. What stops us, bizarrely, is ourselves. We are all inherently self-limiting and are unwittingly sabotaged by hidden fears and insecurities created by past experiences. 
 
Using a revolutionary blend of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, hypnosis and psychology, Jamil Qureshi - the Mind Coach - teaches us that the real secret to success lies in our ability to trust in our subconscious skills and shows us how to work with what we have, rather than what we think we lack. 
 
The Mind Coach is unique, innovative and spectacularly successful - not just for CEOs and professional sportspeople, but for every one of us who wants to make the most of our lives. It's brilliant, it's simple... and it must be tried.

How to lose 10 lb in 14 days

Dr Russell Kennedy

'A must-read for anyone who suffers with chronic worry.' &ndash; Dr Nicole LePera 
 
'Dr Kennedy's message has the potential to transform the way we think about mental health and the role of the body in calming the mind.' &ndash; Dr Rangan Chatterjee 
 
After years of trying different therapies for his crippling anxiety without success, Dr Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain. 
 
Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Dr Kennedy realised that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two. He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem &ndash; at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they&rsquo;d never truly heal anxiety. 
 
Now fully revised and updated, with new material including the Anxiety Toolkit, The Anxiety Prescription blends Dr Kennedy's personal story with medical science, neuroscience and developmental psychology. When you learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts &ndash; you can begin to heal old trauma and gain back a sense of control. 
 
The Anxiety Prescription offers a toolkit of techniques for our thinking minds, and our feeling bodies &ndash; changing not just our mindset, but our 'body-set'. Unravelling the intricate relationship between anxiety, the body and the mind, this powerful book offers a profound path toward healing and growth.

The revolutionary mind-body solution to healing your chronic anxiety

THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
 
From the bestselling author of The Gifts of Imperfection and Braving the Wilderness, an inspiring book examining the emotions and experiences that define us, helping us to become more emotionally fluent and connected. 
 
‘Thanks to Brené Brown I learned how to be vulnerable … a life changer’ Miranda Hart, actor, comedian, and bestselling author of I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You 
 
'If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection.' 
 
Over the past two decades, Brown's extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. 
 
Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice. 
 
Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection. 
 
Written with Brown’s trademark mix of research, storytelling and honesty, Atlas of the Heart is the revolutionary and inspiring guide that offers to help us all become more emotionally fluent and connected.

Atlas of the Heart

Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

Leslie Kenton

Leslie Kenton was the only child of Violet, a stunning Hitchcock blonde, and Stanley - the legendary jazz giant Stan Kenton. Their story takes place on the road in 1950s America and in the mania of Hollywood - a world of jazz clubs, dance halls and one-nighters, where lives were lived on a razor's edge. 
 
Love Affair takes us beyond the bright lights and glamour into an intense, claustrophobic world of a father and his child. Too closely matched, their shared DNA traps them in a double helix - one strand forged in terror, the other luminous with a shared passion for music, joy and laughter. As the strands become entwined, blood on white tiles obliterates innocence and a forbidden honeymoon brings a terrifying, unbounded freedom. Gradually, as Stanley grapples with alcohol and his personal demons, his actions threaten to destroy the only real, untainted thing in his life: Leslie. 
 
A true story of obsession, tragedy and grace, Love Affair is Leslie Kenton's powerful memoir. At its heart is the complex relationship with her father - a union so powerful it defines all that comes after. As their lives become increasingly entangled, so do the forces of darkness and light that exist within us all, leading to destruction for him and heartbreaking redemption for her.
