On the Run

Have you ever dreamed of running a marathon? British long-distance runner, adventurer and motivational speaker Nick Butter completed one in every country in the world, covering a total of more than 5,000 miles in under a year. Illustrating the magic of this fascinating sport, this book features the most extraordinary marathons around the globe: The Badwater 135 is a grueling race through Death Valley in California, while Europe’s Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc mountain marathon has an elevation difference of 10,000 meters. Or how about running along the top of the Great Wall of China or through spectacular Icelandic lava fields?

Intuition

There are moments in life when approaching a problem analytically won’t get you very far. That’s when it’s time to trust your gut feeling. But with so many things distracting us from what’s important in these uncertain times, it’s hard for many people to trust their intuition. Therapist and meditation teacher Amisha Ghadiali helps us relearn how to do so. Influenced by the pandemic-related lockdown and the death of her father, she wrote this book in 2020, a year in which she increasingly came to appreciate the power of intuition. This practical guide teaches us to consciously take the time to listen to our unconscious.

Why We Sleep

We all do it, some of us more, others less. But what exactly is the function of sleep? This is the question that sleep expert Matthew Walker, professor for neuroscience and psychology at the University of California at Berkeley and founder of the Center for Human Sleep Science, explores in this book. As you’ve probably guessed: Sleep influences every aspect of our physical and mental well-being. It enhances numerous brain functions, balances our emotions and regulates our appetite. Reason enough, wouldn’t you say, to shine some light into the darkness and learn a bit more about what it means to get a good night’s rest?
