An unexpected diagnosis. 
A breakup. 
A redundancy. 
 
When life throws a curveball, this book helps us reimagine who we can be. 
 
After an incident in her own life left her reeling, pioneering cognitive scientist Maya Shankar managed the uncertainty by dedicating herself to researching the mind. Now, her powerful book invites us to rethink our relationship with change altogether. 
 
Sharing the riveting stories of others who have also gone through remarkable disruption, Maya unpicks scientific insights to illuminate the universal lessons hidden within them. Exploring our complex reactions to all kinds of change, from denial and guilt to rumination and stagnation, we’re offered tools and strategies to unlock our full potential in the face of upheaval. 
 
Change isn't something to just endure. It doesn't have to leave us feeling stuck, hopeless or broken. Approached in the right way, it can lead us to uncover new abilities, perspectives and values, transforming us in extraordinary ways. 
 
Whether you're processing a past change, grappling with a present one, or bracing for a future one, discover who you can become on the other side of change.

The Life Brief

A Playbook for No-Regrets Living

Angel Au-Yeung

David Jeans

Wonder Boy is a riveting investigation into the turbulent life of Zappos visionary Tony Hsieh, whose radical business strategies revolutionized both the tech world and corporate culture, based on rigorous research and reporting by two seasoned journalists. 
 
 Tony Hsieh's first successful venture was in middle school, selling personalized buttons. At Harvard, he made a profit compiling and selling study guides. In 1998, Hsieh sold his first company to Microsoft for $265 million. About a decade later, he sold online shoe empire Zappos to Amazon for $1.2 billion. 
 
 The secret to his success? Making his employees happy. 
 
 At its peak, Zappos's employee-friendly culture was so famous across the tech industry that it became one of the hardest companies to get hired at, and CEOs from other companies regularly toured the headquarters. But Hsieh's vision for change didn't stop with corporate culture: Hsieh went on to move Zappos headquarters to Las Vegas and personally funded a nine-figure campaign to revitalize the city's historic downtown area. There, he could be found living in an Airstream and chatting up the locals. But Hsieh's forays into community-revival projects spun out of control as his issues with mental health and addiction ramped up, creating the opportunity for more enablers than friends to stand in his mercurial good graces. 
 
 Drawing on hundreds of interviews with a wide range of people whose lives Hsieh touched, journalists Angel Au-Yeung and David Jeans craft a rich portrait of a man who was plagued by the pressure to succeed but who never lost his generous spirit.
