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.

Life on a Knife’s Edge

A Brain Surgeon’s Reflections on Life, Loss and Survival

Peanut

It takes a village to raise a child. Welcome to ours. 
 
From trying to conceive to the unpredictable journey of pregnancy, giving birth, and everything that comes after, becoming a mum can be daunting and isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. 
 
It Takes a Village is the honest, heart-opening companion every mother deserves. Drawing on the deeply personal stories of women from the Peanut community - the global network connecting millions of women navigating fertility, pregnancy and motherhood - this book brings to life everything they wished they’d known before about the real, raw, and beautiful realities of new motherhood. 
 
Alongside these stories, trusted experts - from psychologists and gynaecologists to doulas and midwives - offer compassionate, practical insights to guide you every step of the way. Whether you're seeking reassurance, knowledge, or simply the comfort of knowing someone gets it, this book is here to support you.

It Takes a Village

And Other Essential Truths for New Mothers

Tanya Byron

We live in a world fluent in therapy-speak — where every bad day is ‘depression’, every worry is ‘anxiety’, and every disappointment is ‘trauma’. But what if this language, meant to heal, is stopping us from feeling what’s real? 
 
In Your Are Not A Diagnosis, acclaimed clinical psychologist Professor Tanya Byron cuts through the noise with clarity and compassion. Drawing on decades in the therapy room, she shows how misusing the language of mental health hides our true emotions, robs those with genuine conditions of care, and leaves us trapped in labels instead of living authentically. 
 
This is not a book about dismissing distress — it’s about reclaiming it. With nuance and fierce honesty, Tanya argues that sadness, stress, grief and fear are not illnesses to diagnose away but experiences to sit with and move through, best held not by hashtags but by the people around us. Community, not a TikTok trend, is the real therapy room. 
 
For anyone who’s ever wondered if their messy, painful, overwhelming feelings mean they’re ‘broken’, this book offers a lifeline of perspective, agency and hope. And for parents navigating teens who self-diagnose via social media, it’s an urgent reminder to look beneath the therapy-speak and uncover what’s really being said. 
 
Essential, bracing, and deeply human, You Are Not A Diagnosis will change how you understand your feelings, your family, and the conversations we all so desperately need to get right.

You Are Not A Diagnosis

The Therapy-Speak Trap and the Lost Art of Listening to Ourselves

Andrew Parr

For most of us there is always something that holds us back from achieving our goals, but this book can change that.

In this book he shows us that the truest, happiest and most capable version of ourselves is already within us, hidden beneath layers of false ideas that we have all been conditioned to believe over the course of our lives: 'I'm not good enough', 'I don't deserve to be happy', 'I don't belong', to name but a few. This book shows you how to peel back the layers, de-hypnotize yourself of those beliefs and become your best self. 
 
Whether you want to ask for a pay rise, lose weight, be in a happy relationship or improve any aspect of your life, with these simple exercises you can transform your old, restricted self and become the successful person you were born to be.

Small Move, Big Change

Using Microresolutions to Transform Your Life Permanently

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.

But What Will People Say?

Navigating Mental Health, Identity, Love and Family Between Cultures

Kate Bottley

In her first book, the nation's favourite vicar Kate Bottley reveals the surprising truth about what faith means to her and how, ultimately, it is the key to happiness. As a vicar she is often greeted with the phrase 'I'm not religious, but... I love that hymn', or '... I want a church wedding', but the truth is having faith isn't an all-or-nothing situation and we all deserve to enjoy the parts that bring us comfort. 
 
Kate is not your average vicar, in fact, she says herself that believing in the resurrection is 'a bit bonkers' so, whether you believe in God, the universe's plan or simply the goodness of humanity, Kate argues that having belief equals having hope, and we all deserve to feel hopeful.

Guilt-free Ways to Make Time for the Things (and People) that Matter

How to Work Smart and Live Life Your Way

Priya Joi

What does it mean to be a parent in a space where you are the minority? 
 
M(other)land is a powerful memoir by Priya Joi exploring how her personal and cultural identity intersect with motherhood -- and how they inform her identity as a (British-Indian) parent and step-parent. Her powerful, witty memoir responds to the absence of an inclusive, accessible blueprint for navigating life as a multi-faceted mother. By sharing her own deeply personal story and lived experiences, she writes into this silence and provides a voice of compassion and understanding for all those who fall outside of dominant presentations of 'parenthood' and have never seen themselves or their experiences represented. 
 
M(other)land is a crucial memoir for anyone trying to navigate the complexities of race and motherhood, who has ever felt 'other', who has struggled to reconcile their past or cultural upbringing with how they raise the next generation. Joi passes on hard-won knowledge that has taken years to learn: the complexity of your identity is just who you are - it's okay to be both, neither, or multiple things at once - instead of fighting it, feeling 'neither' is a strength and a state of mind that you can revel in.

What I’ve Learnt about Parenthood, Race and Identity

You didn’t used to be like this. 
The sharp words, the slammed drawers, the guilt that follows. You tell yourself to hold it together, but somehow, you keep finding yourself back here.Psychotherapist and bestselling author Anna Mathur knows that moment well. One evening, hot and exhausted in her kitchen as her children argued and whined, she felt the heat rise up and spill out in a shout that left her shaken and ashamed. That moment became the spark for this book.What if your anger isn’t bad, and it isn’t something you need to get rid of?For too long, we’ve been told to bottle it up, to keep smiling, to push it down. But anger is normal. Anger is necessary. And when you learn to understand it, it can become one of your greatest allies.In How to Stop Snapping at the People You Love, Anna helps you see rage not as shameful or dangerous, but as a signal pointing to your unmet needs, crossed boundaries and emotional overload. Through gentle insight and practical tools, she shows how to catch it sooner, recover faster, repair more deeply and use its energy for change instead of destruction.Because anger doesn’t mean you're broken, it makes you human. And when you learn to listen to it, it can become your greatest source of clarity, compassion and connection.
