When was the last time you said ‘no’? Not, I don’t think so, or maybe, or let me think about it – but a full-throated ‘NO’? How often do you agree to do things you don’t want to do? Most of us – especially those who don’t wield traditional modes of power or wield less of it – often find ourselves landing on okay or sure instead. In this eclectic and empowering book, Anna Holmes explores why it’s difficult to utter that two-letter word. Playfully tracing how ‘no’ shapes our lives, Holmes shows how, if exercised properly, it can radically change our world.

Praised as a book that ‘brings you luck the moment you open it’, this book contains lessons on how to understand – and use – the psychology of luck. Why are successful people so obsessed with luck? Because they want to draw things of value to them. The average person will experience at least a couple of lucky breaks in their lives, but life’s successes and failures are dependent on how well you recognize the signs of such luck. Born into a family with a gift of intuitive foresight and raised in Korean traditions of numerology, astrology and shamanism, Min Ji Yoo has developed deep insights into how people attract luck, money and the things they value to themselves. In this work, Min Ji Yoo focuses on how successful people harness their luck to attract success – and how we can too.

As some people use it to turbo-charge their productivity at work, others are falling into dangerous conspiracies, delusions and psychosis.

When Emma Barnett began her second maternity leave, she realized that, despite having been there before, as soon as her first leave finished the rose-tinted lenses had descended and she immediately forgot what the experience was actually like when you’re in it. This collective forgetting, which leads to well-meaning comments such as ‘enjoy every minute’ and ‘treasure this special time’, is doing a disservice to women, leaving them unprepared for the more complicated reality of what it means to be on maternity service. In this warmly reassuring, refreshingly honest book, Emma sets out to capture this reality, in real time while on her latest tour of duty. She isn’t offering advice on sleep-training or weaning or helping your baby reach milestones. Instead, this is a celebration and acknowledgement of the work of being on maternity leave, with its soaring highs and challenging lows, and its impact on how women feel about our purpose and o
