Empower Your Mind

‘Finding Focus is an essential read for our distracted times’ – Dr Mark Hyman

‘Filled with helpful applications and science-packed insights, this practical guide to improving our mental focus empowers us to create real changes in our daily lives that can improve our mental and physical health’ – Dr Daniel J. Siegel

Our brains are wired for focus. We are designed for it, we crave it, and yet in our current age of overload we too often feel like our minds are bolting from one distraction to the next, with sustained focus always just out of reach.

Finding Focus is an empowering guide to reclaiming your most precious resource: your attention. Leading behavioural scientist Dr Zelana Montminy unveils the science behind focus and distraction, revealing how our hyperconnected reality and the endless flux between digital and physical life fragments our thoughts and diminishes our well-being.

The good news? Your brain is more adaptable than you think. Finding Focus equips you with powerful strategies to:
* Silence the noise: Learn to manage distractions and cultivate an environment that fosters deep concentration.
* Rewire your brain: Discover the science of neuroplasticity and harness its power to train your brain for sustained focus.
* Unleash your potential: Reclaim the ability to connect meaningfully, contribute authentically, and shape the life you desire.
* Rediscover yourself: Fuel your curiosity, creativity, and capacity for joy.

Focus is key to our ability to do good work, but it’s connected to so much more than just efficiency or productivity. When our rest is punctured by email notifications, we feel exhausted; when family time is disrupted by multitasking, we seem disconnected from each other; when creative space is drained away by the lure of other priorities, we feel empty. But if we can control our attention and be present, if we choose when and how we engage, we have a greater sense of wellbeing, deeper fulfillment, and a clear purpose. Finding Focus invites you to ask the question ‘Where do I want to direct my focus today?’ and supports you on your journey to reclaiming your attention and curating the life you want to lead. It is a call to arms for anyone yearning to break free from the grip of distraction and live a life brimming with purpose and connection.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before distills her key insights into simple truths for living with greater satisfaction, clarity and happiness.

The right idea, invoked at the right time, can change your life. Drawing from her long studies of happiness, and also from the challenges she”s faced herself, writer Gretchen Rubin has discovered the “Secrets of Adulthood” that can help us manage the complexities of life. To convey her conclusions, she turned to the aphorism – the ancient literary discipline that demands that a writer convey a large truth in a few words.

Perhaps you”re paralyzed by indecision, struggling to navigate a big change, fighting a temptation, or puzzled by the behaviour of someone you love; whatever you face, the right aphorism can help. From procrastination to the pursuit of happiness, Secrets of Adulthood is filled with witty and thought-provoking reflections such as:

* “Recognize that, like sleeping with a big dog in a small bed, things that are uncomfortable can also be comforting”
* “Accept yourself, expect more from yourself”
* “Easy children raise good parents”
* “What can be done at any time is often done at no time”

For anyone undergoing a major life transition, such as graduation, career switch, marriage, or moving, or for those just encountering everyday dilemmas, these disarming aphorisms will inspire you by articulating truths that you may never have noticed but instantly recognize.

So many people struggle silently with feeling good enough and going above and beyond their limits in order to achieve “perfection”. They’re successful at work and in their personal lives, but this comes at a significant emotional, mental, and sometimes physical toll. They want an escape, they want permission to stop, slow down, or have things be somewhat easier, but they’re scared to make change because they’re not sure what that looks like or the implication on their careers, relationships, and personal identity.
“Who am I outside of my accomplishments”?
“Who am I outside of being someone who does things for other people?”
“Who am I if I’m not always working or doing something?”
This book will provide the social and cultural context for how these tendencies towards perfectionism emerge. By having a better sense of why we have bought into a narrative of “more is better” and perpetual optimization and doing better, people can start to re-align how they want to live.
Written by an Asian American therapist who has lived experience with managing her own perfectionism, this blend of advice and perspective will help come up with their own solutions to problematic perfectionistic tendencies and gain a better understanding of how they want to make values-driven decisions in their lives.

Are you ready to talk?

Why have disagreements become so flammable?
Why are progressive people calling for censorship in comedy?
How has the so-called ‘transgender debate’ become so toxic and what can we do to help?
How is our empathy being manipulated by the internet?
How does AI operate like a psychopath?
How do we achieve progress in today’s, y’know, screaming hellscape?

We are understandably scared to have difficult conversations right now. But comedian and bestselling writer Deborah Frances-White is even more scared of not having them.

Having grown up in a cult which shut down any dissent, Deborah sees the same tactics being used in our rapidly changing society. She knows the value of freedom of speech, critical thinking and the ability to argue well. And as the host of hit podcast The Guilty Feminist, she has been having difficult conversations in public for almost a decade.

In her new, urgent page-turner Deborah examines how the world has come to this and what we can actually do about it. Most importantly, she explores how to change minds, including our own. Deborah invites us to boldly meet this moment in history with hope, clarity and courage. She has written, as Desiree Burch says, ‘a book to leave you transformed.’

This journal invites us to regularly check in on ourselves – what we want, where we want to change, and where we need to go – in order to maximise our chances of leading a fulfilled and contented life.

The journal helps us to carve out time to focus on someone it is too easy to neglect: ourselves. With the help of some well-focused and proven questions, the journal prompts us to clarify our goals, assess our options and plot a route to a flourishing future.

This is a tool for a newfound feeling of lightness, creativity and purpose.

To wonder too openly or intensely about the meaning of life can seem a peculiar, ill-fated and faintly ridiculous pastime. It can seem like a topic on which ordinary mortals cannot make much progress. In truth, it is for all of us to wonder about, define and work towards a more meaningful existence.

This book considers a range of options for where the meaning of life can be found, including love, family, friendship, work, self-knowledge and nature. We learn why certain things feel meaningful while others do not, and consider how we might introduce more meaning into our activities.

What follows is a hugely thought-provoking and practical guide to one of the greatest questions we will ever face.
