  Kunal Gupta climbed the ladder of success and found it leaning against the wrong wall. 
  He had it all. Despite being CEO of a thriving technology business, living on the 54th floor of a luxury condo building, traveling business class everywhere, having a life filled with luxury, being in a committed and loving relationship, and having optimal physical health, life felt empty. 
  "How to Live" follows Kunal’s path to experiment with life over a ten year journey where he quietly gave up material possessions for two years, slept on strangers' couches for over one hundred nights, jumped off cliffs to overcome fear, meditated daily for 10+ years and spontaneously moved to Portugal on three days notice. 
  Kunal takes readers on his transformative journey of self-discovery, moving from external validation to inner fulfillment. Guided by insatiable curiosity, Kunal embarked on a series of life experiments, challenging societal norms and inherited personal beliefs, with each experiment reshaping his perspective on life, success, and happiness. 
  “How to Live” is an invitation to redefine life by challenging the status quo and seeking true meaning and purpose. Drawing from philosophy and psychology, Kunal offers insights from his path to inspire others looking to challenge the belief patterns in their lives and live authentically. 
  Published by Spark, a new breed of publisher for the digital age, each chapter of "How to Live" offers bonus content accessible through special QR codes—including video messages from Kunal, exclusive photos, and behind-the-scenes interviews. This book is more than a memoir; it's an immersive experience that helps readers rediscover life's essence and find their path. 
  Kunal Gupta publishes a weekly blog and is active on social media.

  The name Deleuze is associated with strange concepts (desiring machines, ritornello, war machine or lines of flight). However, these impressive notions can be explained simply, once we have the intuition that organizes his work. This work gives us access to an understanding of the thread that ties Deleuze's thought together, particularly through literary characters such as Bartleby, Lancelot and the Princess of Cleves. Deleuze thus appears as non-dogmatic, himself open to variation and to the invention of a multiplicity of possible meanings of life.

  Winner of 'Best Book' and 'Impact for Change' True Crime Awards 2025 
  The shocking true story of one of Britain’s most secretive, groundbreaking and successful police covert operations 
  Bristol, 1979. 
  An attacker roams the streets… 
  Young women are warned not to go out alone… 
  Enter the Decoys. 
  For several years, a prolific predator haunted Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police had tried all their usual tactics to catch the ‘Clifton Rapist’, and public pressure was mounting. 
  In 1979, a daring new plan was introduced, unlike anything previously attempted by a UK police force. A small group of young female officers – some aged just 18 – put their lives on the line, walking the quiet residential roads late at night, acting as bait. 
  Drawing on in-depth research and first-hand interviews with the women at the heart of the operation, Decoy is a dramatic retelling of one of the most groundbreaking agent provocateur stings in British history. 
  Decoy by Robert Murphy is a gripping non-fiction autobiography that explores the daring tactics employed by law enforcement in 1979. The book delves into the experiences of the women who served as decoys, their encounters with harassment and assault, and the social implications of their actions. 
  For fans of Jeremy Craddock (The Jigsaw Murders), David Wilson (Murder at Home), Ryan Green (Outback Outlaw), Gregg Olsen (The Amish Wife), and Her Honour Wendy Joseph Qc (Unlawful Killings).

  Bobok - From their pens to your...

  Fyodor Dostoyevsky

  Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky was born in Moscow on 11th November, 1821 to distinguished multi-ethnic parents from a Lithuanian background.  
  His childhood years were at the family home in hospital grounds which also contained an orphanage, an insane asylum and a cemetery for criminals.  The young Fyodor often disobeyed his father by talking to the ill in the hospital gardens.   
  His health was compromised at age 9 when he experienced his first epileptic fit. By the time he was a teenager both parents had died and he was now enrolled in a military academy where he graduated and eventually became a Lieutenant in 1842.  He left military service the next year. 
  In 1846 he published his first novel ‘Poor Cow’ to great literary acclaim.  His next was unable to emulate that success but his short stories helped provide an income.  Life as an author was definitely difficult. As he began his next work he was arrested and incarcerated for treason and participation in the political and literary Petrashevsky Circle. Although the case was weak and unjustified he was sentenced to 4 years of hard labour followed by 5 years of military service in a Siberian regiment.  
  Despite the undoubted hardships and setbacks in his life, and whether they helped or hindered his writing, his talents produced many exceptional works of literature including ‘Crime and Punishment’, ‘The Idiot’ and ‘The Brothers Karamazov’.   
  Dostoevsky’s ability to get under the skin of his characters and show the inner workings of their mind was hugely influential and ahead of its time.  Interwoven with this was the influence of the broader social, spiritual and political forces at work in a person's psyche.   
  Fyodor Dostoevsky struggled financially and remained in poor health for much of his adult life.  He died from a lung haemorrhage on 9th February, 1881.
