From our most trusted and caring expert on stress, trauma, and mental health comes a ground-breaking look at what causes illness, a scathing critique of how our society makes people sick, and a way to get healthy and feel better. Gabor Maté's best-selling books around the world have changed the way we think about addiction and have helped change the way we talk about ADHD, stress, disease, embodied trauma, and parenting. Now, in this groundbreaking book, he talks about how chronic illness and general bad health are on the rise in Western countries that are proud of their health care systems. So, when it comes to health, what is "normal"? Even with all of our knowledge and technology, Western medicine often doesn't treat the whole person. This is because it doesn't take into account how today's culture stresses the body, hurts the immune system, and throws off emotional balance. In The Myth of Normal, which he wrote with his son Daniel, Maté uses his unique point of view to debunk many common myths about what makes us sick. He also shows how the problems of one person are linked to the problems of society as a whole and gives a compassionate guide to health and healing. As a result, Maté wrote his most ambitious and important book to date.

This is not a book about how to help yourself. It's time to wake up! Can't Hurt Me, David Goggins's best-selling memoir showed how much untapped potential we all have, but it was only an introduction to the mind's power. In Never Finished, Goggins takes you inside his Mental Lab, which is where he developed the philosophy, psychology, and strategies that helped him realise that what he thought was his limit was only the beginning and that the quest for greatness never ends. The stories and lessons in this raw, honest, and unflinching memoir give the reader a plan for how to get from the bottom of the barrel to a new stratosphere that once seemed out of reach. This is the only book you will ever need, whether you feel lost in life, want to reach your full potential, or are trying to break through your "glass ceiling."

#1 NYT Bestseller 5+ million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a famous blogger cuts through the garbage to show us how to quit being "positive" all the time to become better, happier people. Positive thinking has been the secret to a happy, rich existence for decades. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Be honest, crap is f**ked and we have to live with it." Mason's massively successful blog doesn't mince words. He speaks the truth, a rare commodity today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his response to American society's coddling, let's-all-feel-good ethos, which has pampered a generation with gold medals for showing up. Manson argues, supported by scholarly evidence and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives depends on learning to stomach lemons rather than turning them into lemonade. Humans are flawed—"not everybody can be amazing, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson suggests accepting our limits. We can find courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness once we accept our fears, flaws, and doubts and stop running and avoiding difficult facts. Manson emphasises that we must choose what matters because we can only care about so much. Money is good, but experience is wealth. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, loaded with amusing stories and profane, cutthroat humour.

People magazine called Robert Greene and Joost Elffers's The 48 Laws of Power "beguiling" and "fascinating" for how they condensed three thousand years of history into just a handful of rules based on everything from the writings of Machiavelli and Sun Tzu to the experiences of historical figures like Henry Kissinger and Clausewitz.

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families struggle with the traumatic repercussions of combat; one in five Americans has been abused; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk is widely recognised as a top trauma expert after dedicating more than three decades of his life to helping those who have endured trauma. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses current scientific advancements to explain how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, weakening sufferers’ capacity for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores various treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, theatre, and yoga—that offer fresh avenues to recovery by engaging the brain’s intrinsic adaptability. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and those of other prominent specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the extraordinary potential of our connections both to damage and to heal—and gives new hope for reclaiming lives.

Michelle Obama believes we can all find and rely on a set of tools to better navigate change and remain steady inside flux, but that there may be no clean fixes or pithy answers to life's big issues. How can we develop enduring and honest relationships? is one of the many themes she addresses head-on in The Light We Carry, where she also offers a candid and honest discourse with readers. Is there a way to look at our differences as opportunities for growth and common ground? How can we combat thoughts of inadequacy and incompetence? When things become overwhelming, what should we do? Michelle Obama provides readers with a variety of new anecdotes and profound observations on change, challenge, and power, including her view that by shining our lights for one another, we may reveal the depth and potential of the world around us and find new ways forward. The First Lady draws on her life as a mother, daughter, wife, friend, and public figure to impart the habits and principles she has formed to successfully adjust to change and overcome a variety of hurdles, the gained wisdom that enables her to continue to "becoming." She discusses her most helpful habits, such as "beginning kind," "getting high," and building a "kitchen table" of supportive friends and role models. She tackles race, gender, and visibility head-on with her signature blend of humour, candour, and compassion, all the while urging readers to face their fears, find support in their communities, and live life without inhibitions.
