Sahaj Kaur Kohli

Growing up in the USA as a child of South-Asian immigrants, Sahaj straddled multiple cultures. While reading self-help and going to therapy helped her make sense of the world and her psyche, she soon realised that the advice of white, western writers didn&rsquo;t cater to her experience. Unlike the outside world, at home the idea of mental health was feared as a sign of weakness, often met with the question &lsquo;But what will people say?&rsquo; And for many like her who are navigating two cultures at once, the traditional advice to just &lsquo;set boundaries&rsquo; or &lsquo;put yourself first&rsquo; is not possible, or even safe. 
 
Since then, Sahaj has made it her mission to make therapeutic advice accessible and inclusive of the multicultural experience. Combining her personal story with research, insights from her personal and online communities, and practical advice, this book is a much-needed and revolutionary approach that enables multicultural people to show more compassion for themselves, for others and, above all, feel seen.

Using Microresolutions to Transform Your Life Permanently

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.

Alice Liveing

In 2017 Alice had over half a million followers on Instagram, she had celebrity PT clients, appeared on the cover of Women&rsquo;s Health magazine, and even achieved her third Sunday Times bestseller. She was celebrated as the embodiment of health, but that was the furthest thing from the truth. 
 
Now, having recovered from her disordered approach to food and fitness, Alice tells the intimate story of what led to her darkest moments of restriction, the ultimatum that forced her to change, and how she overcame those demons using her four pillars of fitness: Why, What, When and How, which teach us to move based on how you feel rather than how you look. 
 
This is a vital, powerful and life-affirming book for any women who has struggled with their body image and wants to feel happy and confident in their own skin.

Ping Fu

Ping Fu was born on the eve of China's Cultural Revolution; aged just eight she was taken from the arms of her loving family. She suffered appalling treatment and was denied an education. For ten years she lived in bleak dormitories, while protecting her younger sister from Mao's Red Guards. 
 
She survived, even succeeding in gaining admission to university. Yet, her education brought unwanted political attention and she was forced into exile. Arriving in the United States, speaking just three words in English, she set about making her fortune ... 
 
Bend, Not Break tells the incredible personal story of a journey from imprisonment to freedom, from the dogmatic anticapitalism of Mao's China to the high-stakes world of technology start-ups in the US. It is a tribute to one woman's courage in the face of cruelty, and a valuable lesson on the enduring power of resilience.

From Mao's China to the White House

Michael Norton

In this ground-breaking and inspiring guide, renowned Harvard psychologist Professor Michael Norton demonstrates how turning everyday habits into rituals can improve your work, your relationships and your life. 
 
Think of the quirky traditions that you have with your friends. Or the unusual ways you and your family mark special occasions. Or the gifts your partner gives – and what you’d think if they’d bought the same for an ex. These are rituals: practices that are imbued with symbolic meaning. And they have the power to turn black-and-white moments into technicolour. 
 
In The Ritual Effect, Norton shares stories from sporting superstars (Serena Williams always bouncing the ball five times before her first serve), million-dollar companies (Zipcar urging staff to destroy their old desktops with sledgehammers) and ordinary people (inventing their own “ritual signatures”) to reimagine everyday moments, build camaraderie and spark joy. 
 
Rituals can help us to forge winning teams, heal families experiencing grief and encourage us rise to challenges, big or small. Now it’s time to create yours.

The New Science of Building Brain Power

Rahul Jandial

As one of the world's leading brain surgeons, Dr Jandial is the last hope for many patients who have extreme forms of cancer - patients who can't be saved, but deserve more time. 
 
Life on a Knife's Edge is his account of the resilience, courage and belief he has witnessed in his patients, and the lessons he has learned from them. Both an unflinching account of extreme surgeries and a profound, moving and introspective memoir, this book reveals the depths of a surgeon's psyche who is pushed to his limits, day in, day out. 
 
From keeping a gun victim's heart pumping with his own hand, to saving a woman from paralysis and performing brain surgery while time is running out on a haemorrhaging patient, we see how making life and death decisions and facing unimaginable pressure has shaped one man's life. 
 
In this breathtaking memoir, Dr Jandial shares what he's learned about human nature, from balancing the line between life and death everyday.
