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.

What we fear most
£10.99Meet Dr Ben Cave. For over 30 years he has worked in prisons and secure hospitals diagnosing and treating some of the most troubled men and women in society. A lifetime of care takes us from delusional disorders to schizophrenia, steroid abuse to drug dependency, personality disorders to paedophilia, and depression so severe a mother can kill her own baby. These are the human stories behind the headlines. The reality of a life spent working with patients with the severest mental health disorders. The tragic and often frightening truth about what happens behind closed doors. Dr Ben Cave takes us on a journey to the heart of this highly emotive environment, putting himself under the microscope as well as his patients. In the process, he allows us to share what they have taught each other, and how it has changed them.

I’m a joke and so are you
£10.99Robin Ince has a good life. As a successful comedian, presenter, and writer, he’s got a job that you are probably jealous of. So, why did he find himself stuck on a train platform in rural Northumberland, swearing maniacally, punching his own leg, vowing never to do stand-up again? Was he having an existential crisis? He didn’t know. But he wanted to find out. Insightful, witty, and often just plain weird, this book charts his journey to discover why he’s made the choices he did in life, and what makes us who we are. Why did Robin become a comedian? Why did you become an accountant (sorry)? Why are we like we are? Informed by interviews with a bevy of comedians such as Jo Brand, Ricky Gervais and Tim Minchin, as well as with neuroscientists, psychologists and doctors, Robin looks back on his life and turns his comedic observational skills on himself – exploring the key psychological questions we all ask ourselves.

Flourish
£16.99What is a meaningful life? What does it mean to flourish? Antonia Case, the co-founder of New Philosopher and Womankind magazines, quits her corporate job in the city and, with her partner, travels across the world in search of meaning. In a quest to find answers, she turns off the soundtrack of the media, rids herself of technology, and with little more than books as carry-on luggage, she journeys from Buenos Aires to Paris, from Barcelona to Byron Bay, seeking guidance from ancient philosophers and modern-day psychologists on what is a good life, and what is a life worth living. Along the way she discovers why winning the lottery doesn’t make you happy, why making is better than having, and how love and belonging are vital to our sense of selves. Packed with insight into life’s big questions, ‘Flourish’ will take you on a riveting journey in search of what matters most.
