The meaning of life
£22.00When James Bailey was feeling lost in life, he was inspired by philosopher Will Durant’s 1930s project to write 100 luminaries from all walks of life, challenging them to respond to the fundamental question of life’s meaning. The response was more remarkable than he could have ever imagined. A decade on, James had garnered an incredible collection of replies, collated here for the first time. By turns, thought-provoking, amusing and enlightening, these letters from scientists, writers, athletes, campaigners, politicians, entertainers, survivors and philosophers are a wonderful source of inspiration. Some are about happiness and heartbreak, some are about purpose, some are funny and some will change the way you think. ‘The Meaning of Life’ is a gift from these leaders, connecting through one question that broadens our understanding of what it really means to be human and happy.

Maternity service
£12.99When 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. In ‘Maternity Service’, Emma sets out to capture this reality, in real time. She isn’t offering advice on sleep-training or weaning or helping your baby reach milestones. Instead, this book 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 themselves and their purpose.

And how does that make you feel?
£10.99Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the closed door of the therapist’s office? What’s revealed there may surprise you. Psychotherapist Josh Fletcher takes us on a candid and human journey into the individual sessions of four patients – Levi, Zahra, Noah and Daphne – sharing their self-discovery and recovery as they engage in therapy for the first time. And he lets us into the inner thoughts of a therapist, from shock and sympathy while in session, to how it feels to run into a former client on a messy night out. Interspersed with straight-talking advice on common issues such as anxiety, OCD and panic attacks, as well as a therapist’s guide to how to find the right therapist, ‘And How Does That Make You Feel?’ is darkly funny, illuminating and full of promise that a better future is always possible. It’s everything you wanted to know about therapy (and quite a few things you probably didn’t).

Read yourself happy
£16.99When Daisy Buchanan first felt worry consume her as a child, she turned to the wonder of reading. Somehow, as a grown-up (or a person trying to be one) she turned to food, alcohol and online shopping instead, but these momentary highs made her feel lower still. Eventually diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, she returned to reading and soon discovered that losing herself in a good book helped her find so much more: her confidence through characters, her sexuality through racy romps and more and more peace with every page. In ‘Read Yourself Happy’, Daisy combines her own journey, the wisdom of the characters, writers and literary worlds she has loved and the advice of experts to help you form one of the healthiest habits you already have at your fingertips.

InnSaei
£12.99What does it mean? How do you say it? Why does it relate to me? InnSaei (pronounced ‘in-sy-eh’) is the Icelandic word for intuition. It means: the sea within (the flow of our unconscious mind) to see within (how we introspect) to see from the inside out (how we navigate the world). InnSaei exists within all of us. We live in a world where it’s easy to feel lost, disconnected or without a purpose. Learning about Innsaei is the first step to reconnecting with yourself and the environment. This book explains how aligning with the sea within will help you to make more informed decisions and welcome creativity and wonder back into your life; learning to see within will improve your self-awareness, empathy and tolerance; and seeing from the inside out will empower you to make change around you and live a more fulfilled life.
