'A practical guide that will reclaim your time, energy and self-belief' —Stylist

'[A] smart guide to setting boundaries…While the wise counsel will be tough love for some, those willing to put in the work will get much out of this.'—Publishers Weekly

In a world that feels ever more hurried and disjointed, the idea of ikigai - the reason for being - shines out like a beacon of hope. Rooted in Japanese culture and closely associated with the people of Okinawa, a so-called 'Blue Zone' where residents live incredibly long and, more importantly, fulfilling lives, the true meaning of ikigai is hard to pin down, with many interpretations and wider applications depending on your definition. At its core, however, is a belief that a life lived with purpose and joy, whether that be finding the dream job or savouring a delicious meal with loved ones, leads to greater fulfilment, happiness and wellbeing.

This little book serves as a window into this enigmatic philosophy, exploring its cultural origins and underlying philosophy, some practical tips to integrate it into your own life, as well as some words of wisdom and advice from the preeminent ikigai experts, both ancient and modern. Whether you're looking for a new direction in life, or seeking more fulfilment in the everyday, this book will shed light on a timeless practice that will help you uncover what truly makes life worth living.

SAMPLE TEXT

"I would describe ikigai as the feeling that we are alive in the here and now, and the individual awareness that drives us to survive."
Professor Akihiro Hasegawa

"When you put your finger on what your ikigai is, it's like you gain a superpower. It's like you get a GPS for your life."
Tim Tamashiro

The Japanese word ikigai (ee-key-guy) combines the terms iki, meaning "alive" or "life," with gai, meaning "benefit" or "worth."

A beautiful book explaining and exploring the Ancient Chinese philosophy of Rén and its positive message of compassion and kindness.

The Chinese character for Rén combines the word for 'person' and the number 'two', representing human connection. And in the teachings of ancient philosopher Confucius, Rén is the study of our relationship with those around us.

In this accessible and beautiful book, Yen Ooi explains the various facets of Rén and explores how this philosophy applies to everything from our relationship with ourselves and the people in our lives, to how we relate to society and the wider world.

She shows us how, using the basic principles of Rén and through simple changes to our lives, we can connect better with friends, family and colleagues, become helpful members of society and find fulfilment in ideas of community, justice, morality and compassion.

And, ultimately, how to become happier human beings.

Getting into freshly laundered sheets. A dog in the office for a day. Unexpected cake. Studies have suggested that happiness doesn't come from thinking about what might happen in the future, but by focusing on the small moments of delight we find in our daily lives.

Cultivating these positive emotions makes us happier and more resilient, so writer Jason Ward has gathered 365 'micro-joys' that span the seasons of an entire year, from cherry blossoms to snow-capped rooftops; wild swimming to naps on rainy afternoons.

This a feel-good collection of small, splendid things that can be dipped into for quick inspiration and will help anyone to hone their skills so that they notice – and celebrate – the goodness in life.

"In her new book Why It's OK to Talk About Trauma, she forges a new path for all survivors of trauma, as well as breathing much-needed humour into a stigmatised condition." - Lucy Morgan, Glamour, May 2024


THIS IS THE BOOK YOUR BRAIN, BODY AND FUTURE SELF NEED TO READ.

More than half of us will have experienced some kind of trauma in our lives - many of us multiple times over. But most of us ignore or avoid our traumatic experiences, and struggle alone in the emotional pain that remains.

In Why It's OK to Talk About Trauma, award-winning journalist and campaigner Charlie Webster explores what trauma is, how trauma impacts us mentally, emotionally and physically, and why our past experiences influence our day-to-day behaviours. She draws on her own story, research and insight, backed by the clinical psychologist that treated her.

'I wrote this book following my journey through trauma recovery. I've included everything I've learnt in the hope that it will also help you. I want to show you that it is okay to talk about trauma, but I know it's not easy.

Sometimes it's hard to admit that what has happened to us affects us so deeply. But by the time you turn the final page, my intention is that you will feel different; what has happened will not have disappeared but it will feel more manageable and you will be equipped to deal with trauma and life moving forward.

Whatever has happened to you, we can face it together in this book. I am with you on this journey.'

How much do you enjoy your life?

Does life feel dull? A bit grey?

Do you feel as if your emotions have flatlined?

This is anhedonia – a word only a few of us have heard of but one that explains why so many of us feel we are sleepwalking through life.

Anhedonia is from the Greek word for 'without pleasure' and describes a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It explains why many of us spend our lives in a fog, feeling neither happy nor sad, just not very much at all.

In the first book to tackle this missing piece in mental health, writer Tanith Carey joins the dots on how convenience culture, stressful lifestyles, modern diets and both female and male hormonal changes can dial down our ability to feel excitement and joy.

With the help of world-leading experts and by digging into the latest research, Tanith shows you how your brain's dopamine reward system works and provides strategies to help you bring colour back into your life.

Groundbreaking, accessible and often surprising, this is the book that will teach you how to kickstart your feel-good chemicals and start loving life again.

Do you want more optimism, confidence, resilience and motivation?

Then this book is for you!

We currently live in a time of unprecedented challenges, uncertainty, overwhelming stress, loss of hope at times and a need for mental strength and adaptability to a new way of life.

Traditional 'positive thinking', trying to constantly tell yourself that everything is OK, no matter the circumstances, just isn't enough to make any lasting difference.

After 30 years working as a therapist, Paul McKenna has developed a unique approach - one that can guide you towards an all-round feeling of positivity - putting you into optimal states of mind, building up your resilience and enabling good decisions and actions that lead to successful results in life.

There is now irrefutable scientific evidence that shows that particular ways of thinking and acting produce tangible positive results in people's ability to deal with challenges and their overall quality of life. The research also shows that this mindset can be learned quickly just like any habit.

And that is why this book and audio content is a practical psychological system in how to survive and thrive - how to discover your own natural most powerful resources for self-care, self-belief and for taking control of your life.

Dear Reader,

I have written this workbook for you to use as a guide on how to drop anchor when life, and the world around you, gets too daunting. It's filled with exercises and information for when you're suddenly forced to confront the hard truths or as I like to call them the BIG SIX realities – difficult emotions, uncertainty, loneliness, change, dissatisfaction and death.

It isn't just about how to get through a pandemic... Or the post-pandemic fall-out. It is a WAKE UP call. One that will increase your awareness of every moment through mindfulness.

So SCRIBBLE in it. DOODLE in it. Take it EVERYWHERE. No one is going to see what's inside but you. This is not just another self-help book. Think of it as an evolve-yourself book.

I do hope it helps you hold the rudder straight, no matter how turbulent the waves, and that you come out the other end buoyant, with a new appreciation for the privilege of life.
