Book SynopsisInsanely readable! I loved it' Slavoj ŽižekA delightfully thought-provoking study of why we have sex, from award-winning psychoanalyst Darian Leader''It was just sex.''It''s a familiar claim. But is it really possible?The old idea that sexuality is a smouldering, animalistic force within us, desperate for release yet restrained by social forces, has little to support it. Bodies aren''t just sticks that make fire when you rub them together, and the pain, heartache, and regret that can accompany the highs of sexual excitement show us that much more is at stake.So, what are we really thinking about when we think about sex? And what are we really doing when we do it?As acclaimed psychoanalyst Darian Leader argues, with his trademark clarity, energy and wit, there is no such thing as ''just sex''. It is always about so much more than that - about phantasy, anxiety, guilt, revenge, violence, love - and Leader draws on his analyTrade ReviewSensitively written and full of insight * Sunday Times *The revered psychoanalyst has penned a thoughtful book about our everyday sexual lives – and why there is no such thing as “just sex”.

From the New York Times bestselling author of First, We Make the Beast Beautiful 'A brilliantly raw book that reveals the truth of what really matters' - Fearne Cotton broadcaster, presenter, and author of Bigger Than Us: The Power of Finding Meaning in a Messy World 'I've encountered no other book that articulates with so much passion or clarity the unique feeling of this moment in history. This One Wild and Precious Life is the ideal guidebook for our long overdue journey back to nature, to each other, and to sanity in the deepest sense of the word' Oliver Burkeman journalist and author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals We live in truly overwhelming times. The climate crisis, the pandemic, AI advances, conspiracy theories, political polarisation...and the rest...have left many of us in a state of 'spiritual PTSD', feeling disconnected from one another, from our values, from our joy. In this radical spiritual guidebook, New York Times-bestselling author Sarah Wilson puts on her backpack and spends three years hiking around the world - in Jordan, Cornwall, the Lake District, the Australian Outback, Japan the Sierra Nevada and beyond - to find a path through it all. She follows in the footsteps of Nietzsche, Wordsworth and other favourite poets and thinkers, venturing deeper into nature, going to 'spiritual edges' and meeting monks, lovers and renegades along the way. And she emerges with a blueprint for living a wilder, more connected life, and one that must just save our precious life on this planet.Trade Review'This book will stay with me; I loved it so much. It gets to the roots and truth of what really matters and shakes us from the numbness that has crept in' Fearne Cotton 'I've encountered no other book that articulates with so much passion or clarity the unique feeling of this moment in history.

She has taken her pain and grief about our sick and troubled world and alchemized it into action, advocacy, adventure, poetry, and true love." - ELIZABETH GILBERT; "This practical actionable, spiritual guidebook proposes a path to joy even amid pandemics, climate change, social injustice, and other profound crises." - USA Today; Wilson explores why it's worth it to take the risk and move past the comfortable, assuring her readers that doing this is how we find meaning-and hope." - Spirituality and Health magazine; "Anxiety and disconnection are natural consequences of over-consumptive modern life, argues Australian journalist Wilson (First, We Make the Beast Beautiful) in this vibrant take on how to build a more joyful existence and sustainable world. [...] The author ranges widely, interspersing personal stories with interviews, scientific research, and quotes from religious texts, making for a reading experience that has the feel of an impassioned conversation with a friend [...] engaging prose and timely advice." - Publishers Weekly; "Her thought-provoking call to action shines light on the personal fog and spiritual trauma experienced while living with consumerism, climate change, COVID-19, social injustice, and collective anxiety. [...] this book is inspiring." - Booklist; "This may be one of the first books that culminates in the events of 2020 and offers a solution for moving forward....[ Wilson's] stories are fascinating and her message is universal and hopeful. Readers with wanderlust will be inspired by her journey and calls to action." - Library Journal; "Sarah Wilson is a traveler of worlds, outer and inner. And her reports from the journey are both intensely personal and germane to a sick and distracted world. In the midst of the collective malaise, she zeros in on her determination to live her life, not someone else's, and on the work to which we are all summoned if this species is to survive. Her work is, as the world is, both wild and precious." - James Hollis, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and author of Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times

Book Synopsis?The rare book that has the potential to make you smarter?and everyone around you wiser.??Adam Grant Two-time world champion debater and former coach of the Harvard debate team, Bo Seo tells the inspiring story of his life in competitive debating and reveals the timeless secrets of effective communication and persuasionWhen Bo Seo was 8 years old, he and his family migrated from Korea to Australia. At the time, he did not speak English, and, unsurprisingly, struggled at school. But, then, in fifth grade, something happened to change his life: he discovered competitive debate. Immediately, he was hooked. It turned out, perhaps counterintuitively, that debating was the perfect activity for someone shy and unsure of himself. It became a way for Bo not only to find his voice, but to excel socially and academically. And he?s not the only one. Far from it: presidents, Supreme Court justices, and CEOs are all disproportionally debaters. This is hardly a coincidence. By tracing his own journey from immigrant kid to world champion, Seo shows how the skills of debating?information gathering, truth finding, lucidity, organization, and persuasion?are often the cornerstone of successful careers and happy lives.Drawing insights from its strategies, structure, and history, Seo teaches readers the skills of competitive debate, and in doing so shows how they can improve their communication with friends, family, and colleagues alike. He takes readers on a thrilling intellectual adventure into the eccentric and brilliant subculture of competitive debate, touching on everything from the radical politics of Malcom X to Artificial Intelligence. Seo proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that, far from being a source of conflict, good-faith debate can enrich our daily lives.Indeed, these good arguments are essential to a flourishing democracy, and are more important than ever at time when bad faith is all around, and our democracy seems so imperiled.

Book SynopsisText in Arabic. Borders have various forms. Some begin with the crude, physical form of barbed wire, and end with the very limits of a soul. The deadliest frontiers are the prisons we carry inside us where ever we go, the cages that hold our buried grudges that wait patiently for the right time to build more walls and spawn more grudges. Originally, borders were a way to determine how to serve justice and to preserve freedoms, but now instead they serve to build the pride and greed of insatiable tyrants at the expense of the dignity of their brothers from the rest of humanity within the borders they have built up. In a world of masters and followers separated by borders both real and imagined, can our protagonist Mohsen Al-Wakeili find peace within his hatred of borders or will he declare a relentless war against them? In her preparations, our hero relives the past believing it a new start and reconciliation with all life. But how can she reconcile with the thing she hates the most: herself?
