In his lifetime Alexander von Humboldt was a major international celebrity - only Napoleon, it was said, was more well-known. He was born into the Prussian nobility in 1769 and destined for a career in the civil service. In his twenties he combined his position in the Ministry of Mines with his own investigative studies in science, geology and botany. He travelled around Europe, meeting many other adventurers of his age - including Bligh, Banks and Bougainville – and spent many stimulating months with Goethe in Weimar and Jena. He inherited a fortune on the death of his mother and immediately began planning a major expedition. Napoleon's activities thwarted him at every turn, but he succeeded, rather surprisingly, to gain the permission of Carlos IV to visit the Spanish colonies in South America, and set off with the French botanist Aimé Bonpland and many boxes full of scientific instruments, dodging British warships en route. These five extraordinary years of exploration and research gave Humboldt material for a lifetime's writing. But the expenses of publication exhausted his funds and after more than twenty years living in Paris he was obliged to return to Prussia as a chamberlain at the court of Friedrich Wilhelm III. It was hardly to his taste. He did manage one more major expedition across Russia, when he was sixty years old. Tirelessly energetic, he never stopped working and writing. He was mourned worldwide when he died at the age of nearly ninety in 1859.

Understanding Attention Deficit Disorder

Mary Pipher

Why are adolescent girls prone to depression, eating disorders, addictions and suicide attempts than ever before? Mary Pipher believes adolescence is an especially precarious time for girls, a time when the fearless, outgoing child is replaced by an unhappy and insecure teenager. 
 
Her view is that for the most part it is our look-obsessed, media-saturated, 'girl-poisoning' culture - and not parents - which is to blame. Despite the advances of feminism, escalating levels of sexism and violence cause girls to stifle their creative spirit and natural impulses, which, ultimately, destroys their self-esteem. Yet it is often their families that are blamed. 
 
Here, for the first time, are thr girls unmuted voices. By laying bare their harsh day-to-day reality, Reviving Ophelia offers parents compassion, strength and strategies with which to revive these Ophelias' lost sense of self.

Stress is a fact of everyday life - it stimulates activity and creativity, and adds excitement and spice to our lives.

She then provides simple but effective relaxation techniques which counteract and alleviate the harmful effects of stress, and enhance the quality of our lives.

Angela Duckworth

From the #1 bestselling author of Grit, a new book that reveals the hidden power of situations—and how you can shape them to bring out your best. 
 
In Angela Duckworth’s first book, she showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance she dubbed “grit.” This second book springs from her deepening realization that grit, while necessary, is sometimes not sufficient. How you situate yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial. 
 
Duckworth’s in-depth research reveals the enormous influence wielded by the objects within arm’s reach, your peers and mentors, and even where you live. Though you’re often told to make the best of your situation, it is far, far better to make your situation better first.In Situated, you’ll discover: 
<ul><li>Why your personality changes, sometimes dramatically, from one situation to another – and how you can harness that shift</li><li>The secret to conquering temptation without willpower</li><li>Why taking the less effortful path can feel like cheating but often solves a stubborn problem</li><li>How the company you keep shapes the person you become</li><li>The most effective ways to help others succeed</li></ul> 
 
Highlighting four essential elements of successful situations, Duckworth shows how high performers like Taylor Swift, Michael Phelps and Jerry Seinfeld create situations that make the most of their grit. And with disarming honesty, she shares her own struggles with burnout and marriage – and how learning to change her situation, not herself, made all the difference. 
 
Whatever it is you want to achieve, there’s a situation that can make your journey easier. 
 
It takes effort to make your situation your ally – but a little effort goes a long way ... when you get situated.

Lisa Galley

Permission to parent your child the way they need you to 
 
In Parenting Your Autistic Child, parenting expert and SEN mum Lisa Galley offers a lifeline for parents raising autistic children. Parents who are exhausted by advice that doesn’t work, and the constant guilt of getting it ‘wrong’. It lifts the lid on the brain-body link, helping parents understand what’s happening inside their child’s nervous system in everyday moments like meltdowns, transitions, stimming, bedtime, or screen time – and why traditional strategies fail to take this into account. 
 
This isn’t a book full of theory and behaviour charts. It’s about real life: the 3:30pm meltdown, the refusal to get dressed, the soul-destroying school run. It shows parents exactly what’s going on in their child’s brain and body during those moments, and helps parents to understand why the normal ‘rules’ of parenting just aren’t working. 
 
With gentle science, practical tools, and deep validation, Parenting Your Autistic Child doesn’t just explain the ‘why’, it shows parents how to parent confidently, differently, and without shame.

In his inspiring new book, Ichiro Kishimi explores a way of living that will free you from your unease, improve your confidence and help you live a happy life.

Lisa Lloyd

I have always been weird. Not in a mysterious, sexy way. More like a ‘Where’s her carer?’ kind of way. 
 
Like any new parent, when Lisa Lloyd became a mum, her own needs were put at the bottom of a very long list. But for Lisa, adapting to life with kids was an uphill struggle – one with frequent meltdowns, from her as well as them. When both her children were diagnosed with autism, it all started to add up. Her behaviours growing up, the jobs she couldn’t keep, ALL the emotions … maybe there was a reason for it all. 
 
In Unmasking Mum, Lisa draws on her story of being diagnosed with autism at age 41 to shine a light on the highs and lows of parenting when you’re neurodivergent and offer helpful tips she's learnt along the way. From the sensory overload of life with kids, to their terrible sense of personal space and the imposter syndrome that rears its ugly head when other people’s children are just perfect – with humour and honesty, Lisa is pulling off the mask, for every parent who feels they too are 'weird'. The mask is stuck quite hard, but bit-by-bit, it’s peeling away, revealing a Lisa who has been hiding all along.

Menopause and ADHD is your ultimate guide to understanding how your hormones may influence your ADHD – and it’s a two-way street: how your ADHD impacts how your perimenopause lands for you. This book will arm you with the facts, and help you to confidently advocate for your own health and wellbeing. 
 
Navigating menopause can be challenging for any woman, but for those with ADHD, the experience can feel like a bomb has gone off in your life. Health issues in all women are too often dismissed, misunderstood, or minimised by clinicians who label symptoms as anxiety or ‘just part of being a woman’. We are just starting to empower women to access the menopause support they deserve, but women with ADHD or other intersecting neurodivergence (often undiagnosed) are still woefully left behind in this arena. 
 
Helen Wall is a GP with years of experience advocating for women. MENOPAUSE AND ADHD will debunk myths, tackle systemic biases, and empower you to take charge of your well-being through this period of hormonal challenge. It’s time to be heard, be informed, and be your own best health advocate.

Also informed by Paul’s own journey and his decades of experience helping patients, this book will provide you with a simple, science-based framework for improving mental health, fortified with practical tools that you can tailor to yourself in the real world. 
 
With all Dr. Conti's straightforwardness and sincerity, What’s Going Right is an accessible and inspiring mental health protocol that will empower you to reach your fullest potential – starting with what’s going right.

A Powerful New Method for Optimizing Your Mental Health

Aiko Bethea

A bold framework for successfully navigating complicated interactions at work, at home and in all of our relationships – by one of the first leadership coaches to infuse her work with an equity lens and create spaces for connection that require both accountability and generosity. 
 
 What if the very moments that feel like setbacks could become openings for transformation? 
 
 Aiko Bethea teaches that what holds us back is not the challenge itself, but how we meet it. The tension at work. The misunderstanding at home. The silence in the face of discomfort. She calls these experiences 'the bullsh*t' because they keep us out of alignment with who we aspire to be. 
 
 But the bullsh*t is not the end of the story. It is the beginning of choice. Each moment of misalignment can shrink us back into old habits, or it can call us forward into a different way of leading, loving and living. With a witty, engaging voice, Bethea invites us to choose connection over competition, empathy over pity and vulnerability over ego, guiding us toward evolving into the version of ourselves we most respect. As she reminds us, 'bullsh*t can’t be fought off, but it can be transcended.' 
 
 Through her Anchored, Aligned, Accountable framework, Bethea draws on real-life experiences from her work as a facilitator and leadership coach, offering journaling prompts and practical exercises to support readers' growth. In doing so, she shows us how to step into that transcendence. Grounded in truth. Connected to values. Committed to action that changes not just what we do but who we become.
