Slow productivity
£16.99Hustle culture. Burnout. Quiet quitting. Today we’re either sacrificing ourselves on the altar of success or we’re rejecting the idea of ambition entirely. But it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. There is a way to create meaningful work as part of a balanced life, and it’s called ‘slow productivity’. Coined by Cal Newport, slow productivity is a revolutionary philosophy based on three simple principles: Do fewer things; Work at a natural pace; Obsess over quality. Examining the stories and habits of ancient and modern scientists, philosophers, artists and scholars who worked in this way, Newport reveals just how transformative the slow productivity approach can be to producing a meaningful body of work.

The wolf of investing
£20.00From Jordan Belfort, author of ‘The Way of the Wolf’ and subject of the hit movie ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’, comes his long-anticipated guide for mastering the stock market. ‘The Wolf of Investing’ teaches you when to buy, sell, hold, and cash out; how to make smarter (and safer) investments; and how to build significant wealth over both the short- and long-term. Unlike traditional investment books, each page of Jordan’s lessons, colourful stories, and principles entertains you with the charismatic swagger portrayed so famously on the silver screen by Leonardo DiCaprio. When Belfort’s brother-in-law, Fernando, lost nearly $100,00 dollars in investments in under 60 days, Jordan sat him down for some tough love. Using the financial acumen and insider’s knowledge he learned during his time working on Wall Street, Jordan taught Fernando how to turn his portfolio around.

MCU
£25.00Marvel Entertainment was a struggling toymaker not even twenty years ago. Today, Marvel Studios is the dominant player both in Hollywood and in global pop culture. But what accounts for its stunning rise? In ‘MCU’, beloved culture writers Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards draw on more than a hundred interviews with actors, producers, directors, and writers to present the definitive chronicle of Marvel Studios and its sole, ongoing production, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As they delve into the studio’s key moments – from the contentious hiring of Robert Downey Jr. for Iron Man to the negotiations over Disney’s acquisition of Marvel to studio head Kevin Feige’s embrace of streaming TV – the authors demonstrate that the genius of Marvel was its resurrection and modification of Hollywood’s old studio system.

Right kind of wrong
£22.00We used to think of failure as a problem, to be avoided at all costs. Now, we’re told that failure is desirable – that we must fail fast, fail often. The trouble is, both approaches fail to distinguish the good failures from the bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well. Harvard Professor Amy Edmondson has spent four decades arguing that productive failure holds the key to lasting success. The world’s leading expert on psychological safety, her research has shown that the most successful environments are those in which we can fail effectively – without our mistakes being held against us. Edmondson offers a revolutionary framework to get these failures right. She outlines the three archetypes of failure before revealing how to minimise the consequences of the bad failures and maximise the potential of the good.
