  THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
  ‘Hilarious, and straight talking but also articulate and insightful – I am just hugely fond of this guy’  
  –Eddie Jones 
  ‘James Haskell: what a flanker, what a book’ 
  –Rugby World 
  ‘I’d like to be remembered as a player who showed that you can be incredibly professional but also a lot of fun – a bit of a joker in the changing room, but the ultimate competitor on the pitch. That should have been the subtitle of this book, really…’ 
  One of rugby’s most ferocious flankers and biggest characters, James Haskell has had an extraordinary, global experience of the game, having played for the Wasps, Northampton and England, and in New Zealand, France and Japan. After seventeen years and with 77 international caps under his sizeable belt, he has a shitload to say about rugby life – from pitch to pub and everywhere in between. 
    
  In What A Flanker, Haskell sheds fresh light on the dynamics and the day-to-day of the game. Whether he’s recalling the most brutal team socials; dispelling the myths surrounding New Zealand’s dominance; introducing his Japanese teammates to manscaping or calling out play-acting in the modern game, no subject is off limits. 
    
  Side-splittingly funny and ruthlessly honest, What A Flanker delves into the touring, drinking, training, eating and sometimes unconscionable antics of the professional rugby player. It’s an unforgettable read, even if there are some stories you’d rather forget… 
  [Correction: in the author biography and on p.22 of this book, it is stated in error that the House of Rugby podcast is now known as The Good, The Bad and The Rugby. The House of Rugby podcast continues and The Good, The Bad and The Rugby is a separate podcast.] 
  Haskell's autobiography, What A Flanker, is a humorous and insightful look into the world of professional rugby. His personal growth, dedication to fitness, and success as a Sunday Times bestselling author make this a compelling read for sports enthusiasts and fans of autobiographies alike. 
  For fans of Rachel Murphy (Loose Head), Robert Jobson (Guarding Diana), Luke Upton (Hard Men of Rugby), Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), and Jonny Wilkinson (Jonny).

  'I love Allie Bailey – she has the unique ability to make you feel like anything is possible when it comes to running.' – Bryony Gordon 
   
  31 Days follows up on ultrarunner Allie Bailey’s searingly honest autobiography There is No Wall. 
   
  It takes the final chapter of that book which was the self-help rant you didn’t think you were buying and supercharges it, creating something relatable and tangible that you can actually take into your day-to-day life and make a lasting difference. While There is No Wall clearly said running won’t save you, perhaps this book will, with its zero-bullsh*t approach to mindset mentoring, and tools and exercises that enable you to do the work and create incredible results. 
   
  Whatever it is you’re struggling with – running, career, relationship – Allie draws on her lived experience as an award-winning coach, runner, depressive and recovering alcoholic, to show you how you can change things in yourself that you didn’t think it was possible to change. And not just for one training block, one race or for a few weeks, but for the rest of your life. 
   
  Split into thirty-one easy-to-digest chapters – one a day – it is a handbook, a companion on a journey with no end. But be warned, this book contains no quick fixes – it is down to you to do the work. 
  It’s never too late to change, you’re not ‘just the way you are’, and it’s never too late to tell that doubting voice you have lived with for decades to kindly go f@*k itself. 
   
  Are you ready to begin?

  Geoffrey Childs, born in 1946, sketches this fictional scene: When a pair of climbers does not return, two sets of rescuers set out--one for experience, and the other one to save friends. In the aftermath of the event, the motives and feelings are just as divided. This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Rescue: Stories of Survival From Land and Sea." 
   
  Geoff is Professor of Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis who studies demographic processes and sociocultural change across the Himalayan region. Having abandoned a normal career path for a life of climbing and worldwide adventure, baby boomer Geof Childs finds himself at middle age putting on the gray suit of ambition in order to support his wife and child. Yet he soon discovers that though he had abandoned climbing and adventure, they had not abandoned him. 
   
  David Elias works extensively in voice-overs. His television credits include "Homicide", and he has been seen in films such as "Runaway Bride" and "Deep Impact". With his group Live Ethics, he performs nationwide in ethics training seminars for a variety of professions.
