Jeff Bercovici

Sports are about challenging our physical limits. But the greatest limit of all remains undefeated: age. We're taught to believe that ageing thwarts effort and grace, talent and grit, outstanding teamwork and individual brilliance. 
 
 But a new breed of top professionals - the likes of Roger Federer, Jo Pavey and Tom Brady - are overturning long-held assumptions about the duration of primetime in a sporting career. It's not that aging causes a decline in fitness; rather, a decline in fitness causes aging. 
 
 Jeff Bercovici steps inside the lives of such ageless athletes, following them as they train, compete, and recover, to dispel conventional wisdom about longevity. Full of cutting-edge science, technology and practical tips, Play On empowers you to reverse the ageing process, and extend your peak years.

How to Get Better With Age

Robert Twigger

We read that we must be passionate about only one thing, that 10,000 hours of hard practice is needed to achieve mastery. But in fact most successful people, including Nobel prize winners, nurture multiple areas of knowledge and activity that feed their central subject. 
 
Whether it's making a perfect soufflé, dancing a tango or lighting a fire, when we take the time to cultivate small and quantifiable areas of expertise, we change everything. We become faster and more fearless learners, spot more creative opportunities, improve our brain health and boost our happiness. We see knowledge itself completely differently. The skills acquired in painting a door flawlessly or growing delicious chillies will unexpectedly transform your life. 
 
So start small. Start specific. But start - and you'll be on the path to mastery.

How To Take Control Of Your Life, Create Change And Achieve Your Goals

Megan Rossi

When we eat, we're not only feeding ourselves, we are also feeding millions of microbes that live in our gut. When they are healthy, they keep the rest of our body healthy, but most of us are not feeding them enough plant-based wholefoods to keep them working at their best. 
 
From the go-to gut-health expert and Sunday Times bestselling author, Dr Megan Rossi, this book shows us the incredible health benefits of a plant-based diet, and shares over 80 simple, crowd-pleasing recipes that everyone will enjoy. 
 
We need to eat 30+ plant-based foods a week to keep our gut happy so it's all about adding more foods into our diets, rather than cutting them out. Megan makes this easy with her mouth-watering dishes, including: Loaded nachos, Thai fishcakes, Raspberry and white chocolate muffins, a Hearty lasagne and even Raspberry and lemon ricotta baked cheesecake. With meal plans to suit any lifestyle and plenty of nifty tips and tricks, it has never been easier to eat more plants.

Svava Sigbertsdottir

**The fitness and diet plan followed by NICOLE SCHERZINGER and AMANDA HOLDEN** 
 
"I love Svava's technique. In all my years of training, the Viking Method is unlike anything I have ever done" - Nicole Scherzinger 
 
"The Viking Method is an incredible fitness plan - for me the most important thing was not just getting stronger physically but mentally." - Amanda Holden 
 
The Viking Method uses Svava's strong mental practices inspired by her Icelandic upbringing to help the reader build the lean, powerful and toned physique they desire. It'll render the reader more resilient, bolder and full of belief in themselves. 
 
Unlike other fitness and diet books, The Viking Method isn't about the external superficiality of a beach body. It's about three core pillars: thinking like a Viking, training like a Viking and eating like a Viking. Svava introduces these pillars early on in the book - along with mantras for each pillar which are connected to empowerment, mental strength and internal validation over counting calories. 
 
The book features information on eating and exercising for your hormones, detailed workout routines based around body-weight exercises illustrated with photographs, and a selection of delicious Scandi-inspired recipes such as Thor-red Salmon and Icelandic Lamb Stew.

Mark Tuitert

During the 2010 Olympic speed skating final, Mark Tuitert wasn't thinking about winning, but about Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus and Zeno - philosophers belonging to an ancient school of thought that emerged from their experiences of personal hardship. 
 
The Stoics developed a philosophy grounded in striving toward unbiased thinking, self-betterment through virtues, and a focus on only that which lies in our power to control. Having overcome injuries, familial conflict, and the extreme pressures of being a professional athlete, Tuitert still managed to hit his prime thanks to years of studying and practicing a Stoic mindset. Now, after two decades of applying this philosophy, and seeing the benefits as an athlete, husband, father and entrepreneur, he has distilled Stoicism and his personal experience into ten powerful lessons, allowing you to face adversity, deal with uncertainty and reach your potential. 
 
Stoicism is not about achieving success or happiness for their own sake. It is about doing what is important to you with a focused mindset, and developing a Stoic calm and mental balance when faced with setbacks. This inspiring and engaging book is full of practical exercises to master a Stoic mindset, allowing you to apply these lessons anywhere, anytime.

The Psychology of Human Relationships

Justin Garcia

Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships, and stray from rewarding ones? And why do some couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love?In The Intimate Animal, Dr Justin Garcia - one of the world’s leading experts on the science of love and sex – reveals that the answer to these questions lies in our evolution, how we are biologically wired to connect with each other, and why it is at odds with the way we live now. Dr Garcia explains the multiplicity of human sexual and romantic behaviour using cutting-edge research from the world-famous Kinsey Institute, including:- Why we have evolved to live and die for love and yet searching for ‘the one’ is futile- Why we are wired for 'social monogamy’ but not necessarily ‘sexual monogamy’- Why some people are more likely to cheat He also draws on his experience as the scientific advisor at Match.com to share practical tips on love and attraction – the two biological systems often in painful conflict – to help us deepen and strengthen our relationships. Whether you're seeking that special someone, recovering from heartbreak, or trying to keep the passion alive, The Intimate Animal is the essential, research-backed guide for anyone who wants to forge deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times.

For When Life is a B*tch

Anna Mathur

The instant Sunday Times top ten bestseller 
 
'Gently challenging, deeply empowering,' Julia Samuel, Sunday Times bestselling author of This Too Shall Pass 
 
 
‘Some people don’t like me”“Bad things will happen to people I love”“I’m going to fail” 
 … these words underpinned my anxieties and nightmares. I bet they feature in yours too. 
 Our fears are anchored in the unavoidable truths of life; all things reach an end, bad things happen, and we lack the control we crave. 
 As an experienced psychotherapist, who’s had years of therapy, I realised that ploughing endless energy into trying to control the uncontrollable is keeping us all tired, wired, and worried. Ignoring fears doesn’t make them less true, it makes them more powerful. I decided to try a different tack and it changed my world. 
 Instead of doing everything I could to ease and avoid life’s uncomfortable truths, I sought a deeper acceptance of them. Through using this approach, my clients and I discovered that fear began to loosen its grip. We were living more intentionally and peacefully. 
 So, face your fears one a chapter at a time, and discover who you are without worry, doubt and people-pleasing holding you back.

The Uncomfortable Truth

Change Your Life By Taming 10 of Your Mind's Greatest Fears

Haemin Sunim

Many of us respond to the pressures of life by turning inwards and ignoring problems, sometimes resulting in anxiety or depression. Others react by working harder at work, at school or at home, hoping that this will make ourselves and the people we love happier. 
 
But what if being yourself is enough? Just as we are advised on airplanes to take our own oxygen first before helping others, we must first be at peace with ourselves before we can be at peace with the world around us. 
 
In this beautiful follow-up to his international bestseller The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down, Buddhist monk Haemin Sunim turns his trademark wisdom and kindness to self-care, arguing that only by accepting yourself - and the flaws which make you who you are - can you have compassionate and fulfilling relationships with your partner, family and friends.
