We assume that the highest-performing people are wired differently; that their success is down to nothing more than raw talent. 
 
But in the course of 400 conversations with the world's most remarkable individuals, Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes have found the opposite: real success comes from small, often imperceptible changes in behaviour. They call them micro-habits. 
 
Drawing on exclusive interviews with leading high performers – from Olympic-medallists to billionaire entrepreneurs – Micro-Habits introduces the forty-eight simple tools that anyone can use to achieve excellence. 
 
The best thing? They work right away.

365 Ways to Become Your Best

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.

Flourish

The Art of Building Meaning, Joy and Fulfilment

Benjamin Todd

You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. If you want a rewarding and interesting life that changes the world, your choice of career is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. 
 
 However, there’s surprisingly little good advice out there. Most career advice focuses on CVs and offers misleading platitudes like ‘follow your passion’. And it insists that if you want to do good you should become a teacher, doctor or a charity worker - even though the evidence suggests that the highest-impact people did nothing of the sort. 
 
 A self-published word-of-mouth bestseller, this new edition of 80,000 Hours draws on a decade of research conducted at the University of Oxford to offer you the tools you need to find a career you enjoy, you’re good at, and that tackles the world’s most pressing problems.

How to Have Fulfilling Career That Does Good

Unconscious leaders crash and burn. Conscious leaders achieve and thrive. 
 
Most leaders are unconscious leaders. They are driven by fear to make choices that are at odds with healthy professional relationships and business vitality and balance. 
 
But it can be different. You can be a conscious leader, motivated by a desire to learn, to adapt, to listen. 
 
In The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, three leading experts set out the principles for great leadership and how to implement them. They take the reader, step by step, through a series of goals that are both inspirational and achievable, offering a road map that will guide you from fear-based to trust-based leadership. 
 
Once you and your team start to practice these commitments - from Taking Radical Responsibility, through to Speaking Candidly and Excelling in Your Zone of Genius - you’ll find that not only do you become more collaborative, creative and engaged but that you will achieve more, create healthier relationships with those around you, and simultaneously become less stressed and more fulfilled. 
 
Any one of these 15 commitments will change your life. All of them together are revolutionary.

'The definitive account of how the world’s richest man, in a fit of unbridled vanity and arrogance, took over and destroyed our digital town square' John Carreyrou, bestselling author of Bad Blood 
 
‘Astonishing. Kate Conger and Ryan Mac’s meticulous, comprehensive reporting turns an opaque mess brutally transparent’ Jia Tolentino, bestselling author of Trick Mirror 
 
‘Gripping… Through fly-on-the-wall reporting, Character Limit takes readers inside Elon Musk's tumultuous Twitter takeover and the disruption of a company, an industry, and the online public square. What a wild ride' Bradley Hope, bestselling author of Billion Dollar Whale 
 
In a world of viral ideas and emotion, who gets to control the narrative, who gets to be heard, and what does power really cost? 
 
This is the story of the showdown between Elon Musk and Twitter and how the richest man on earth suddenly came to control one of the most powerful media platforms in the world. In Character Limit, award-winning reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac draw on exclusive interviews, unreported documents and internal Twitter recordings to provide a revelatory, three-dimensional, and definitive account of what really happened when Musk showed up to takeover Twitter, spoiling for a brawl and intent on revolution, with his merciless, sycophantic cadre of lawyers, investors, and bankers. 
 
In part, this is the story of Twitter's founder, Jack Dorsey, who idealistically dreamed of building a 'digital town square' but detested Wall Street and never built a profitable business, and Musk, one of the site's most influential users with over 70 million followers. To Musk, Twitter—once known for its almost absolute commitment to free speech—had utterly lost its way. Blaming it for the proliferation of what he called the “woke mind virus”, he claimed that the survival of humanity itself depended on the future of the site. 
 
In January 2022, Musk began secretly accumulating Twitter stock. By April, he was its largest shareholder, and, soon after, he made an unsolicited offer to purchase the company for the unimaginable sum of $44 billion. Backed into a corner, Twitter’s board accepted his offer—only for Musk to change his mind, forcing Twitter to sue him. 
 
Drawing on unparalleled sources, this is the defining story of our time told in vivid, cinematic detail.

How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter

Jim Collins

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. 
 
His exploration follows various lives side-by-side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken. Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success. Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives. Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and so left with the puzzle of what to do next. Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end. 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. 
 
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 to find a 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 re-envision 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>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> 
And 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. Surprising, story-driven, deeply researched, and uplifting, What to Make of a Life is a book like no other, convincingly showing how a richly fulfilled life is within reach of us all.

'An extraordinary tour de force . . . a game-changing book of the utmost importance, with a message that urgently needs shouting from the rooftops' DR. GRAHAM MUSIC, Consultant Psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic and author of Nurturing Natures 
 
--- 
 
We think of babyhood and old age as polar opposites on the spectrum of life. Yet they are profoundly linked. Our early experiences set us up for a lifetime of good mental and physical health, or for future health challenges. 
 
1,001 Days will explore the vital and often overlooked factors that determine our lifelong health. Delving into the latest research in the fields of medicine, neuroscience and psychobiology, acclaimed psychotherapist and author Sue Gerhardt explains how many of the most common illnesses affecting our society today – from type 2 diabetes to cardiovascular disease, depression and dementia – have their roots in pre- and post-natal childhood development. 
 
She challenges the political and cultural assumptions that hinder us from acting on what science is telling us – for example, that ill health is often seen as a result of wrong ‘lifestyle’ choices. The evidence she brings to light could change the way we approach illness, prevention, screening and cure within our healthcare and wider social systems. 
 
There is no simple cause and effect that explains an individual’s health outcomes. But in learning about the ways your childhood continues to shape your health today, you can feel empowered to seek the help you need.

How Our First Years Shape Our Lifelong Health

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.

Most people don't realise they're negotiating until it's too late - until they've already lost ground, damaged relationships, or walked away empty-handed. But what if you could transform every interaction into an opportunity to get what you want while making others feel valued? 
 
Fight Less, Win More offers an armoury of negotiation techniques and approaches that are both superbly practical and brilliantly effective. All have been exhaustively tried and tested in situations that range from high-stakes hostage crises to everyday business conversations. All are underpinned by the groundbreaking notion of Tactical Empathy: a means of understanding the motivations and preoccupations of others so that you can engage with them more effectively. Whether you’re negotiating a deal, seeking to defuse tension at work, or even trying to persuade a recalcitrant teenager, Fight Less, Win More will help you resolve conflicts faster, build stronger relationships – and achieve outcomes you never thought possible.

Xand van Tulleken

There has never been a more confusing time to try to be healthy. In the past decade, the healthcare sector has witnessed a remarkable surge in innovation: drug design, genomics and diagnostic technology have all changed almost beyond recognition. 
 
Simultaneously, there has been a significant expansion in consumer health services, including the supplement industry, blood testing, consumer genomics and wearable technology, which claim to improve “wellness” (emphasising physical and mental performance and longevity) rather than curing or preventing specific disease states. 
 
For a typical consumer this is both confusing, as the health and wellness industries are almost indistinguishable, and expensive, as consumer health emphasises personalised products, often sold on a subscription basis. 
 
In Make Me Well, Xand van Tulleken investigates the new Wild West of the wellness industry, demystifying a landscape dominated by three products: supplements, blood testing, and wearable technology. In doing so, he shines a light on how people can take care of themselves better in this new and overwhelming world of wellness.
