Brought here by the Romans, adopted by the Saxons, formalised by the Tudors and perfected by the Victorians, the public house has been with us for millennia. When travelling to a new part of the UK it’s almost inevitable you’ll end up at one – whether it’s to drink, eat, sleep or all three – and pub culture is a brilliant way to explore our beautiful country. Jonny Garrett’s here to set you on the right path with a personal journey through some of the UK’s most beautiful, historic and culturally significant pubs – all of which happen to serve up amazing beer or cider. From Penzance to Glasgow, via Belfast and Conwy, One More Round shows how you can be hundreds of miles from your house and still find somewhere that feels like home. It’s an exploration of the UK’s absolute greatest pubs – the kind people make pilgrimages to visit, write poems about, take selfies in, and most importantly walk into and never want to leave.

As we grow older, human beings accumulate more and more unnecessary things just by living. And not just objects, we accrue connections and status in addition to expensive goods. If you don’t throw these things away as soon as possible, you become a person who can’t throw things away. Before you know it, your life is full of noise. You’re tied up. Full of anxiety about the future. This book provides an overview of the top ten things you can let go of in five of the most important areas of your life: money and the things you own, your working life, your physical and mental health, your relationships and your lifestyle. All of the ’50 Things’ included in this book centre on the idea that minimalism can have a hugely positive impact on your life by clearing away the noise.

Anxiety can have an immense power, affecting the way we think, feel and behave. Keeping us inside, away from people, places and opportunities. Making us question, doubt or criticise ourselves. Sending us into a sea of worry, which threatens to overwhelm us. But what if we stopped trying to fight the waves and, instead, learned to ride them? This compelling, warm and accessible book looks at anxiety differently. It helps us understand how to drop the struggle with it and listen to what it is saying. And to start celebrating the unique sensitivity that makes us feel deeply and intensely – so we can let intuition guide us, not fear.

‘The Courage to be Disliked’ shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others. It’s a philosophy that’s profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves.
