How To Live An Awesome Life

Now Is The Time. No Excuses. Ben Coomber

Small incremental changes are well and good, but do you really have the time to make minute adjustments to your life, working slowly towards a way of living that could be months or years into the future? Living a life of passion, purpose and connection on your own terms is the key to happiness and too many people wait too long before taking bold, direct action.

If your own life isn’t inspiring you - not enough time, energy or opportunity - this book is designed as the kickstart you need. It will show that you can try all your like to make more money, sleep better, eat healthier and think more clearly, but if the core foundations of your journey aren’t in alignment with your true motivations, change will prove illusive. To succeed at anything you need the right mindset, then the right tools and plan, and then the resilience to see that plan through to create the life you want. No more excuses - this book will change the way you think, to change the way you feel.

Bizarre

Marc Dingman

The human brain is an impossibly complex and delicate instrument - capable of extraordinary calculations, abundant creativity and linguistic dexterity. But the brain is not just the most brilliant of evolutionary wonders. It’s also one of the most bizarre.

This book shows a whole other side of how brains work - from the patient who is afraid to take a shower because she fears her body will slip down the drain to a man who is convinced, against all evidence, that he is a cat, and a woman who compulsively snacks on cigarette ashes.

Entertaining though they are, these cases are more than just oddities. In attempting to understand them, neuroscientists have uncovered important details about how the brain works. Bizarre will examine these details while explaining what neuroscience’s most unusual patients have taught us about normal brain function - ideal both for readers seeking a better appreciation of the inner workings of the brain and those who simply want some extraordinary topics for dinner-party conversation.

Marc Dingman received his Ph.D. in neuroscience in 2013 from the Pennsylvania State University. Since then, he has been a faculty member in the Biobehavioral Health Department at the Pennsylvania State University, where he teaches courses in neuroscience and the health sciences. He received the Teaching Excellence Award from the College of Health and Human Development in each of the past four years, the Health and Human Development Alumni Society Excellence in Teaching Award in 2017, and the Biobehavioral Health Outstanding Teaching Award in 2015.

‘Don’t mistake being busy for being productive! Create time to read this important book and start spending your time where it counts.’

MARSHALL GOLDSMITH, NEW YORK TIMES

How we spend our time is one of the greatest indicators of how successful we will be. We achieve our goals when we ruthlessly prioritise tasks and people that are important to us.

This book is for you if:

• You feel unrelentingly busy and overwhelmed.

• 3pm arrives and you’ve not done any of the tasks you intended.

• When you’re not working, you’re still ‘on’ - checking emails and always thinking about what you haven’t done.

• You over-commit and find it hard to say no.

• You sacrifice your own priorities for disorganised people’s urgent demands.

• Meetings, emails, and constant interruptions suck the life out of you.

• Your HR department’s emails about wellness week are the final straw: meditation won’t help your wellbeing, less meetings would.

The Crazy Busy Cure is full of intensely practical tips to save you from this addiction and get productive again. It will show you how to have a laser focus on your priorities, manage others so they can get on with the work and find more head space. With tips for remote working and office working alike as well as productivity hacks for people with learning and thinking differences, this lively read is jam packed with solutions. Stay energised, find your freedom from distractions and regain your productivity.

Opportunity

Seize The Day. Win At Life. Rob Moore

Opportunities are limitless and abundant.

The problem is, many people can’t recognise them.

It can feel like opportunity doesn’t knock for you, or other people get more opportunities, or you have bad luck and timing.

You just need to know where to look. How to ask. When to ACT.

Opportunity can be a window or a door; sometimes it opens right in front of you and sometimes it knocks. You need to be ready: windows, doors and eyes open.

Are you waiting for that once-in-a-lifetime or business opportunity to change your life? How will you know when it comes? How will you be sure it’s right for you?

This book is not about waiting for an opportunity. It’s a book containing strategies that can be employed immediately, ensuring you attract opportunities abundantly, both big and small, and you’re ready to recognise and take them. To turn ideas into opportunities.

Successful people often make their own luck - they find success because they have trained their minds to recognise great opportunities and make the most of them, rather than freezing with uncertainty or lacking the vision to see them through. They know the opportunity cost of not taking them.

In this book you’ll learn how to spot, seize and implement the right opportunities, and how to say NO to the wrong ones. You’ll learn to take fast and slow opportunities. When opportunity appears you’ll be ready to take advantage, seize the day, and win at life.

Glow In The Dark

How Sharing Your Personal Story Can Transform Your Business and Change Your Life

Mark Leruste

When you talk about yourself and the work you do, what message do you convey? Do you tell your best story and show your most authentic self, or do you undersell your talents and fail to sell your strengths?

Too many of us feel like imposters, playing down our achievements, failing to do our brilliant ideas justice. Many of us are simply too afraid of what people might think or say if we showed up as our authentic selves in public and shared our true stories.

Countless brilliant ideas will never see the light of day because people are too timid to truly be themselves.

It doesn’t have to be this way. This book will help you get comfortable with being yourself in public, accept who you are, and celebrate every part of you and your story - even the scary bits.

No matter where you are on life’s journey, no matter what your experience or background, you can learn a simple framework to turn your myriad of experiences into a powerful, engaging, and clear origin story that people will connect with, remember, and want to share with others on your behalf.

From hiding your talents to glowing in the dark, this book will help you tell your story with confidence.

Strategic Storytelling

Why Some Stories Drive Your Success in Business and Others Don’t

Anjali Sharma

In today’s connection economy, the most successful leaders inspire their people with purpose and meaning. Powerful corporate storytelling can mobilise people around an organisational objective in a way that a focus on market share never will. Be it a digital transformation or a diversity and inclusion initiative, corporate change needs the support of the people in that organisation in order to stick.

Yet, while all stories can move people to take action, storytelling isn’t a one size fits all. The most effective influencers learn to flex their narrative based on the audience’s time or their level of expertise.

A story that works on the stage doesn’t work in the boardroom. A story that works in the boardroom doesn’t work in a team meeting. A story that works in a team meeting doesn’t work in a oneto-one conversation. A story that works in oneto-one conversation doesn’t work in sales...

Anjali Sharma introduces leaders and ambitious influencers to the Who, Why and How of strategic storytelling in business, enabling them bring about change and drive corporate success by telling exactly the right story in the right way.

It will also offer tools to help the reader determine whether their idea is worth pursuing (most aren’t) and, if not, return them safely to the concept-development stage before they waste massive amounts of money and time launching an idea that will never fly.

You’ll learn that:

Most risk is unnecessary.

You can launch your new business in days (or sometimes even hours).

You can apply the same launch strategies you’ll learn here for an online business, an offline start-up a global corporation, with a budget of $50 or $500,000.

• You can lower the start-up failure rate from 70% to 9% if you follow the guidance in this book.

The 4 Figure Trick

The Book for Non-Financial Managers - How to Deliver Financial Success by Understanding just Four Numbers in Business

David Meckin

Finance for non-financial managerssucceed with just four numbers.

Finance doesn’t have to be complicated. This book shows you how to make better, faster, financially sound business decisions using just four numbers.

Effective financial management is at the heart of every successful business but it can seem impenetrable to the non-financial manager; littered with spreadsheets, inexplicable charts and intricate formulae, all washed down with swathes of unintelligible jargon. In reality, successful financial management is all about the management of just these four figures.

Knowing what these four figures are, how they relate to each other and most importantly, how they can be managed, is the key to financial success. This is what David Meckin calls ‘the 4 figure trick’. Almost every major business failure can be pinned down to the ineffective management of at least one of these critical figures.

Focusing on just four figures not only makes the world of financial management more accessible to the non-financial manager, it also greatly simplifies the decision-making process. Full of step-by-step guides, examples and illustrations, The 4 Figure Trick reveals a variety of practical managerial strategies that can significantly enhance the financial performance of any business.

The New Brand You

How to Wow in the New World of Work

Catherine Kaputa

The New Brand You is the field guide to standing out and succeeding in the new professional landscape transformed by the pandemic. In the new world of virtual, remote and flexible working, everyone needs to consider carefully their personal brand and power, and many will need to hit the ‘reset’ button.

We are all on camera now - we all need to be producers of our own brand narrative. Like it or not, in a digitally driven, more competitive, more global world of employment, the reality is that you need to consider your personal brand. You have no choice, if you don’t brand yourself, other people will. And not in the way you want to be seen. That, or you will simply become invisible, and that’s almost never good.

The New Brand You uses ten tried and tested strategies from the commercial world of branding and applies them to individual brand creation. Strategies such as defining your positioning, researching your target audience and taking steps to ensure you always stay relevant, are equally applicable to individuals as they are to products and companies. It’s not about sticking some slightly skewed version of your name on social media, it’s about smart positioning and successful tactics.

Featuring high profile success stories and accompanied by an online Personal Brand Finder, an assessment tool that measures psychological preferences and aligns with the ten strategies in the book, this book will help you to target the most relevant strategies for you. It will include examples, exercises and callouts to make it a quick read and easy to action immediately.

Getting your personal branding right will give you the edge in the new age of work.

Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst are friends, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. Together they came up with the concept of workstyle (in the pub) in response to their negative experiences of a 9-5 traditional working week. Workstyle is a new word to describe the complete freedom to choose when and where you work.

They co-founded now multi-million pound social enterprise Hoxby in 2014 to test and prove the concept of workstyle and have since helped thousands of workstylers around the world to set, project and respect their own workstyles. They have set up their own longitudinal research study into the link between autonomy, productivity and wellbeing and have delivered projects for some of the biggest businesses in the world including Unilever, Amazon, AIA, and Merck. Forbes.com have described them as ‘creating the freelance revolution 3.0’ and they have been featured in the FT, Times, Telegraph, Stylist, Marie Claire, Metro and The Guardian, among others.

Workstyle

A Revolution for Wellbeing, Productivity and Society

Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst

Workstyle is the freedom to choose when and where you work. It is only now, after centuries of formal and inflexible working hours, that such an opportunity is on the horizon. It is an opportunity that will have far reaching and profoundly positive implications, levelling the playing field and helping to create true inclusivity and accessibility in our society.

This inspiring book will explain the history of work, where the 9-5 came from, and why the time is right for change. You’ll learn how workstyle differs from flexible, hybrid, or remote working, and why it matters. Most importantly, you’ll explore and design your own workstyle, by reflecting on the things that matter to you, acting to change your life and inspiring others to do the same, all underpinned by research that proves that this is a better way to work for us all.

This book is for everyone who has had to take a day off work to receive a delivery or go to a doctor’s appointment. It is for anyone who has caring responsibilities, for parents, for those with illnesses, with mental health issues, who feel burnt out, or who are living with disabilities. It is for those who are older, who identify as neurodiverse or who consider themselves different in any way. It is for people who feel disenchanted with work and want to live a meaningful, fulfilled life. It is for anyone who questions why they need to commute to an office to be productive. It is for every person who has a life outside of work.

This book is for everyone. This book is for you.

You Are A Global Citizen

A Guided Journal for the Culturally Curious

Damon Dominique

Who are you? Why are you, you? What kind of person do you want to be?

You Are A Global Citizen challenges us to take a deeper look at our role as global citizens, from the armchair traveller to the frequent flyer and everyone in between, providing a springboard for us to understand the world and other cultures by first understanding ourselves.

This uniquely accessible guided journal ignites your inner curiosity and encourages self-discovery through thought-provoking questions about the cultures you have experienced - including your own - all while helping you become a more inquisitive, aware, observant, and engaged world citizen.

Whether you’ve never left home, are studying at university, looking to live and move abroad, or simply eager to explore your own identity within a global society, You Are A Global Citizen will help you understand how the outside world impacts what’s going on inside your mind, and vice versa.

In three sections covering your origins, your internal environment and your external environment, with space for reflection at the beginning and end, Damon Dominique, pioneer of the modern day social media travel scene and star of countless popular You Tube travel vlogs and documentaries, shares his insights and stories from a decade of globetrotting, guiding you through questions such as, ‘Would you be happy if you knew you had to live in your hometown for the rest of your life?’, ‘What culture or country do you remember romanticizing about as a kid?’, and ‘How do you feel about a global language?’, with the ultimate goal of encouraging you to consider the fundamental questions about who you are, what culture is and what it means to live in a global society, beyond the borders of our minds and countries.

Found in Translation

The Unexpected Origins of Place Names

Duncan Madden

Have you ever stopped and thought about the name of your home country or one you’re travelling to?

What it means, where it came from, how it came to be?

From ‘The Land of Many Rabbits’ to ‘The Land of the Thunder Dragon’, and many places in between, Found in Translation is a fascinating, extraordinary and frequently funny journey into the history of the naming of the world. Filled with extraordinary stories of invasion and rebellion, culture and religion, misunderstanding and the curiosities of language as it has evolved over the ages, it offers etymological insight into how and why the countries we live in and travel to got their names - and their often bizarre meanings.

David Cheal has been reviewing music since the early 1980s, and was a pop critic for the Daily Telegraph for 20 years. He now works on the Financial Times arts pages, where he writes and commissions the weekly Life of a Song column and also contributes reviews and features. When he was growing up, he wanted to be Jack Bruce but never got round to learning how to play the bass.

The Life of a Song

The Stories Behind 100 of the World’s Best-Loved Songs

Jan Dalley and David Cheal

Discover the stories behind the songs.

The Life of a Song contains the stories of 100 songs exploring each song’s biography and how they took on a new life following their release. Packed with intriguing factoids, these bite-sized essays will delight music fans and send you scurrying back to listen to the songs in all their beauty and mystery.

Who knew that Paul McCartney originally referred to Yesterday as ‘Scrambled Eggs’ because he couldn’t think of any lyrics for his heart-breaking tune? Or that Patti LaBelle didn’t know what ‘Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?’ actually meant? These and countless other back stories fill this book.

Each 600-word piece gives a mini-biography of a single song, from its earliest form through the various covers and changes, often morphing from one genre to another, always focusing on the ‘biography’ of the song itself while including the many famous artists who have performed or recorded it.

This book collects 100 of the best pieces from the highly successful The Life of a Song columns from the FT Weekend every Saturday. Inside you’ll find rock, pop, folk, jazz and more. Each piece is pithy, sparkily written, knowledgeable, entertaining, full of anecdotes and surprises. They combine deep musical knowledge with the vivid background of the performers and musicians, and of course the often intriguing social and political background against which the songs were created.
