  Finding Certainty and Fulfillment in the Science of Life. By the time he was thirty, Syd Kessler was a millionaire many times over, the epitome of the poor kid making good. But inside him, a hollowness was taking hold, and later, in middle age, he fell seriously ill. In the dark days of a long recovery, Kessler explored the Kabbalah and the discoveries of quantum physics, developing a system of moral principles from the truths of how the universe began and operates. His set of principles -- from Big Bang to Moral Cause and Effect to Selfless Selfishness to Closure and Energy -- are revolutionary. They will heighten your sense of self and purpose and transform your relationships in every part of your life. Syd Kessler, one of North America’s top advertising executives, is a mentor and investor in new companies. He was the principal of the major advertising companies Kessler Productions, Kessler Music Inc., The Air Company, and Supercorp (with John Labatt Ltd.)."The Perfect System offers an aerial cartographer's view of the central mysteries of life. . . His advice is not only valuable, it is inspiring." -- Patrick Falloon, Chairman, Falloon McElligott

  'Women have Bridget Jones. Men have no one. Until now.' Ricky Gervais 
  In the best-selling tradition of Clarkson and Moyles, this is TV and Radio personality Christian O’Connell’s take on all things men. 
  For ten years Christian has dispensed his wisdom and advice to millions of lucky radio listeners on every topic conceivable. It was when he saw his wife reading and laughing at a book ‘How to Kill Your Husband’ that he realised he had to write this book. 
  In his sage opinion, men need to be saved from themselves. Women need to understand men better and stop hating them and men need to make sense of why they are they way they are. 
  'The Trouble With Men' reveals some hard but hilarious truths about the male race. Who do men actually look to for inspiration? The Hoff? Simon Cowell? James Blunt? Why do men behave in that odd way at barbecues? Why can a man have his heart broken a thousand times by his football team and yet still forgive them more than he would a woman? 
  With his outspoken humour and his ironic take on life, Christian explores male-dom, celebrating all that is great about being a man and unravelling the mysteries of masculinity that have stumped women for centuries. 
  Includes:Superheroes – all of them let us down. Here’s why.The Ultimate History of Men… from caves to Ikea.The Man Test – a highly unscientific flow chart to determine just how confused you are right now.The Perfect Man – if Apple designed men…Men and Cooking – the most important part of nutrition. TV snacks.What We Want from Women – show up naked. Bring beer.Rules and Codes – the unwritten, never discussed rules about how to behave in bathrooms, cars and out and aboutMen and Sex – ‘touch them there and they love it.’Imagine a World Without Us – heaven or hell?Communication – friend and foe.What’s the Point of Us? – enough with the slagging off. Here’s what we rule at… 
  Drawing from his own life, Christian O'Connell's The Men Commandments is more than just a biography; it's an autobiography that delves into the psyche of the modern man. It's a humorous, insightful exploration of masculinity that every man can relate to and every woman can learn from. 
  For fans of James Brown (Animal House), Sam Delaney (Sort Your Head Out), Harry Hill (Fight!), Ted Kessler (Paper Cuts), and Simon Halfon (Supersonic).

  A collection of humorous essays on “the art of being infuriating and other childhood fun” (The New York Times). 
   
  Universal and timeless, Delia Ephron’s How to Eat Like a Child is a delightful revisiting of the joys — and tricky ploys — of childhood. Made into a children’s television special and a musical theater revue performed across the country each year, How to Eat Like a Child offers advice beyond the artful etiquette of food consumption. Ephron also teaches us “How to Laugh Hysterically,” “How to Have a Birthday Party,” “How to Torture Your Sister,” and much, much more. As the Washington Post Book World noted, “After the giggles of recognition have subsided, one thing will be very clear: all adults are kids in grown-ups’ clothing.” 
   
  “Vivid enough to return you, momentarily, to those thrilling days of yesteryear.” —Kirkus Reviews
