  Courageous Psychology

  This is my rough guide to things that matter : our emotional wounds, sub-conscious drives, and why we make serious mistakes; how to befriend our fears, express our passions, and thrive in the face of adversity. Yet, all the know-how comes to nothing, without the courage to apply it. If we’re to live freely & fully, we have to muster some grit.As a Cambridge University doctor of psychology who lectures about radiant well-being, I wrote 100 columns for The London Times and have gladly consulted for 20 years to individuals, schools and business. The field has made wonderful break-throughs that I wish were common knowledge, so I’ve gathered the insights & antidotes that proved game-changing for the glowing personalities who taught me that taking care of yourself isn’t being selfish, because when you strive to live well, the goodness ripples outwards through the world around.I wrote this book for everyone’s best-friend and romantic partner, as much as for the big-hearted parents, teachers and health professionals I greatly admire. It’s my warm invitation to compare notes on the practical skills & guiding principles that can help us live bravely for those we love.

  When John Timpson, chairman of the eponymous high street chain, bought his wife Alex a racehorse in 2002, a friend commented that it would be 'a marvellous way to lose money'.
  Soon they were immersed in a world of trainers' yards, Novice Hurdles and handicaps, and well on the way to proving the old adage that the best way to make a small fortune is to start with a larger one, and buy a few racehorses.
  As the number of horses increased and Alex became a well-loved figure on the racing scene, John kept a diary of their experiences on and off the track. This witty book describes how racing brought something extra into their marriage – from Mondays at Ludlow to the Cheltenham Festival. It documents the wins, near misses, disappointments and occasional tragedies that make up a racing career – not to mention the friends made, the knowledge gained and the sheer thrill of it all. 
  Under Orders is a joyous and humorous portrait of horseracing in Britain and a tribute to the owners whose dedication and enthusiasm make the whole thing possible.
  Sales of the book will raise money for the Injured Jockeys Fund.

  The Boy with the Perpetual...

  Graham Caveney

  Raised in a small town in the north of England known primarily for its cotton mills, football team, and its deep roots in the "Respectable Working Class," Graham Caveney armed himself against the confusing nature of adolescence with a thick accent, a copy of Kafka, and a record collection including the likes of the Buzzcocks and Joy Division. All three provided him the opportunity to escape, even if just in mind, beyond his small-town borders. But, when those passions are noticed and preyed upon by a mentor, everything changes. 
  Now, as an adult, Caveney attempts to reconcile his past and present, coming to grips with both the challenges and wonder of adolescence, music, and literature. By turns angry, despairing, beautifully written, shockingly funny, and ultimately redemptive, The Boy with Perpetual Nervousness is a tribute to the power of the arts—and a startling, original memoir that "feels as if it had to be written, and demands to be read" (the Guardian UK).

  Wildly funny musings from an eighty-three-year-old TikTok sensation.“Understated” and “tasteful” could never be applied to Annie, and that’s just fine with her. A colorful actress with a decades-long career in TV, film, and theater—including a recurring role on Seinfeld and a center-stage spot touring with The Moth—Annie offers her trademark unabashed takes on both everyday and typically taboo topics. Whether she’s sharing her thoughts on the miracle of childbirth (“It’s a miracle that anyone who’s been through it is willing to do it again”), religion (“William Shakespeare was not Jewish; no Jew could write a play called All’s Well That Ends Well”), motherhood, or any other topic, Annie will have you laughing out loud.Underlying the humor are poignant observations that feel particularly relevant today: the importance of kindness and consideration, how we’re all more alike than different, and the freedom to be found in self-acceptance. You’ll put down this book feeling not just lighter but inspired by Annie’s wisdom and insight, gathered over eight decades.Whether you’re seeking raw authenticity in an Insta-perfect world, advice from the grandmother you wish you had, or just a laugh to lighten the load of daily life, The Book of Annie is just the ticket.
