Relax, unwind and soak up the wisdom of the sloth with the slowest page turner you’ll ever read.From tidying and Hygge, to living Lagom, the endless pressure to be happier, live better, sleep soundly, and eat mindfully can be exhausting. But this year’s lifestyle trend finally delivers the perfect antidote – welcome to the year of the sloth.Sloths are mindfulness in action. Contemplative, deliberate, relaxed, and focused. They resist the rat race, the incessant pressures from society to be more productive, and they don’t care how many steps they’ve logged on their fitness tracker. Long-limbed, a little bit shaggy, and a lot wide-eyed, they’re wonderful creatures, not to mention completely adorable.Here you can enjoy take-it-slow wisdom inspired by sloths; including advice on sleep (more restorative than a 6am run), eating and ‘exercise’ (sloths are the original pioneers of slow food and yoga after all), work (did you know that lazy people have higher IQs?), family life, and love.Dispelling over-complicated myths about productivity, this brilliant book confirms that it really is OK to be a sloth.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Joy of Leaving Your Sh*t All Over the Place, this is a hilarious and delightfully packaged celebration of womanhood and one-of-a-kind historical record of boobs-for women, and the people who love them.Welcome to the wonderful world of boobs! Whether you're here for a good time, an education, or a bit of both (the best things come in twos, after all), get ready for some fun. Boobs is a witty guide for the big-boobed, the boobless, and everyone in between. Think you know everything there is to know about breasts and the miraculous powers they possess? Think again. Historically, they are perhaps women's most admired asset, but from the advent of the bra to today's free-the-nipple movement, it's a complicated history to unpack. So why not have some fun while we explore the subject?There's so much to know and love about our pert (or pendulous, or silicon-based) parts-no judgment here. Pick up Boobs for an entertaining historical overview and look at the influence of boobs in pop culture, plus fun facts, (G-rated) illustrations, and more celebrating the beauty, strength, and magic of womanhood.

We’re inundated with advice on how to cut back on our screen time, and urged instead to embrace nature, human relationships and being present in the moment. But has anyone actually considered those realities? They sound like a lot of work.In her new book, Jennifer McCartney gives thanks for phones, iPads, laptops, the menu tablets at Chili’s and all screens everywhere. We can now follow a baby alpaca on a webcam, watch a viral video on TikTok, find an ex on Facebook, measure our pupillary distances, answer any question without engaging our brains—there’s so much to learn; with little to no effort. The Internet practically runs itself! We use it for work, for family, for research. We’re really, really good at being online! And that’s something to celebrate. With her usual balance of pithy wisdom, aptitude tests and hilarious commentary, McCartney embraces our new reality. After all, as Descartes might have said, “I scroll, therefore I am.”

Curated by The New York Times best-selling author Jennifer McCartney, this collection of poems—discovered at a cat café in Milan, Italy—showcases the breathtaking skill, witty intelligence and breadth of knowledge possessed by the cat mind. McCartney knew she’d found something special as she translated the feline riffs on famous poems, beat poetry, rhyming verse, haikus and limericks. From musings on a tardy dinner (“Feed Me”) to a trip to the vet (“A Cat’s Revenge”), the “clueless yammering” of sparrows in a birdbath to the pleasures of an empty box, these are special additions to the genre. Soon, in fact, the scribe was inspired to add some work of her own, as well as charming line drawings and photographs. This slim volume will entice anyone enamoured of poesy and the fine arts—particularly cat lovers.
