But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call.He calls them atomic habits.In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.________________________________A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'A supremely practical and useful book.'

ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN NOVELS EVER WRITTENWINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION'No one forgets this book' Independent'One of the best first novels I remember ... uniquely unsentimental' Guardian'There is humour as well as tragedy in this book, besides its faint note of hope for human nature; and it is delightfully written' Sunday Times'A rare literary phenomenon' VogueThe iconic modern classic and coming-of-age novel exploring racism in the American South.'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with a serious crime.Through the young yes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s.The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice.But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.'Someone rare has written this very fine novel, a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humour.

In 2017, Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood and given her the opportunity to act with A list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah’s life is changed.Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organisation behind the magic, an organisation whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like – and ultimately destructive, as Hannah finds herself on a week-long course from her friends and family - and her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what’s real, and what’s imagined. The result is a propulsive, shockingly honest, and extraordinarily intimate portrayal of a mind taken over the edge.From the outer edges of fame, through Hollywood film sets and London parties, Hannah’s life has slowly moved from that of a successful starlet to that of a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organisation that promises health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined.Shocking, intimate and compulsive, The Make-Believe is an ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things: I’d find the cure for what ravaged her—and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me.Four years later, I receive an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, a secluded, prestigious school on an island off the coast of Maine. Legends say it’s haunted by the exiled souls of long-dead patients.But the ghosts aren’t even its most daunting peculiarity.Devryck Bramwell, known on campus as Doctor Death, is my devastatingly handsome professor. He loathes first-years like me—yet his dark gaze tells me all the ways he’d devour me if given the chance, and his stolen kisses burn with forbidden jealousy. Together, we’re a toxic disaster waiting to be exposed.And when the truth surfaces, we may be the ones to resurrect Dracadia’s most depraved secret.

Jim Collins, international bestselling author of Good to Great, offers transformative lessons on constructing — and reconstructing — a life through the cliff moments and transitions we all will face repeatedly in our lives.THE QUESTIONWhat to make of a life?It is a question we all wrestle with more than once. How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs, significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late?Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analysing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog.THE STUDYHis exploration compares various lives side by side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken.Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success.Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and then left with the puzzle of what to do next.Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives.Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end.What emerges from Collins’s extensive studies — of writers, actors, scientists, leaders, and many others — is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained, and constantly renewed.THE FINDINGSBy examining the long arc of these remarkable lives, Collins tackles life’s questions. What does it take to:Discover a deeply fulfilling role in life — one that you are naturally 'encoded' for — and then find a second one, if the first one ends?Overcome a major cliff — a fracture point that forces choices about what’s next and calls for you to reenvision the years to come?Make your personal economics work so that you can focus on One Big Thing that feeds your inner fire?Navigate the fog when you feel uncertain or even outright lost, and build confidence step by stepMinimise the impact of bad luck and ensure the maximum return on good luck?Build personal momentum decade upon decade, so that your most creative and energetic years are spread across an entire lifetime?Achieve the imperative to 'Know Thyself' and apply self-knowledge to each phase of life?THE TRANSFORMATIONFor the first time, Collins movingly chronicles his own story to reveal how undertaking this project transformed him, changing his thinking and reshaping his emotions in fundamental ways. 'After this study,' writes Collins, 'I will never look at life the same ever again.'Surprising, story-driven, deeply researched, and uplifting, What to Make of a Life is a book like no other and convincingly shows how a richly fulfilled life is within reach for us all.
