We all have that moment we wish we could do over. Maybe it was a comment you made at work. Or a look you gave a loved one. These moments can cause real, lasting damage and they happen when we are misaligned with who we aspire to be. In this groundbreaking new book, Aiko Bethea teaches us how live every moment intentionally by introducing the "Anchored-Aligned-Accountable" framework: Transformation requires that we are anchored in our values, our intention and impact are aligned, and we are accountable to ourselves and others.

Distress has been commodified over many decades by pharmaceutical companies, the media and the psychiatric establishment. So how can we know when distress is normal and when it is something that needs to be treated? In Searching for Normal, Dr Sami Timimi explores the political and cultural context of these phenomena and presents, instead, a deeply humane approach that looks at the person as a whole – their family context, their culture, their personal resilience – and advocates for a reframing of how we think about and treat distress.

Your life is full of groups. Your work teams. Your families and friends. Your race, religion, and nationality. But most people explain the world in terms of individuals. We spend surprisingly little time thinking about what groups really are, how they work, and how to get the best out of them. The Collective Edge will change the way you think about the world around you and your place in it. Our tendency toward cooperation is the foundation of human accomplishment.

The Outsider was an instant literary sensation when it was first published in 1956, thrusting its youthful author into the front rank of contemporary writers and thinkers. Wilson rationalised the psychological dislocation so characteristic of Western creative thinking into a coherent theory of alienation, and defined those affected by it as a type: the outsider. Through the works and lives of various artists, including Kafka, Camus, Hemingway, Hesse, Lawrence, Van Gogh, Shaw, Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, Wilson explored the psyche of the outsider, his effect on society and society's on him.

Solitude is part of the human experience. But just like other relationships, your relationship with solitude can be satisfying, intimate, and enhance your well-being, or it can leave you wanting, stuck in a cycle of sadness, anxiety, or anger. Regardless of whether you're starved for “me time” or struggling with loneliness, most of us have never thought carefully about how to get the most out of the time we spend by ourselves. As a result, we’re missing out on what could be a deeply enriching aspect of our lives. But how can we unlock the positive power of solitude?

In this persuasive and powerful manifesto, Neil Mercer, Professor of Education at Cambridge and Director of the Oracy Centre, calls for oracy to have an equal footing alongside literacy and numeracy: students should leave school not only as readers and writers, but as accomplished speakers and listeners. With warmth, clarity and insight, he demonstrates how oracy education has nothing to do with “speaking posh”, or eliminating style, slang and regional accents, but instead empowers people to find and express their unique voice.

Drawing on personal experience, as well as philosophy and sociology, Daniel Schreiber explores the tension between the desire for solitude and freedom, and for companionship, intimacy and love. Along the way he illuminates the role that friendships play in our lives—can they be a response to the loss of meaning in a world in crisis? A profoundly enlightening book, Alone explores how we want to live.

A new way of thinking that improves how we work, create and live, empowering listeners to outsmart AI—a tool that can never do what humans do.
