  This groundbreaking study reveals how social connections are far more important than we thought, showing us the steps we can take to build better relationships and improve our lives. 
   
   
   
  Social connection is as essential for our health and happiness as a balanced diet and regular exercise. It reduces our risk of stroke, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. It enhances our creativity and adds years to our life span. Yet many of us struggle to form strong and meaningful bonds—and the problem lies not with our personalities but with a series of cognitive biases that stop us from fulfilling our social potential. 
   
   
   
  In The Laws of Connection, award-winning science writer David Robson describes the psychological barriers that lead us to keep others at a distance and offers evidence-based strategies to overcome them. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on philosophy, neuroscience, and cutting-edge psychology, Robson introduces listeners to new concepts such as the liking gap, the novelty penalty, the fast-friendship procedure, the beautiful mess effect, and the Japanese art of amae. Whether we are shy or confident, introvert or extrovert, we can all build deeper relationships. The Laws of Connection shows us how.

  Leif Erikson: The Life and...

  Over the centuries, the West has become fascinated by the Vikings, one of the most mysterious and interesting European civilizations. In addition to being perceived as a remarkably unique culture among its European counterparts, what’s known and not known about the Vikings’ accomplishments has added an intriguing aura to the historical narrative. Were they fierce and fearsome warriors? Were they the first Europeans to visit North America? It seems some of the legends are true, and some are legend.  
  	The man credited for the Vikings’ discovery of North America has long been Leif Erikson, the son of Erik the Red, and several medieval sources documented the family’s history and accomplishments. Sturla Thordarson (1214-84), an Icelandic chieftain, compiled Landnamabok, or The Book of Settlements, which covered Icelandic history and genealogy. It lists the consequential settlers, with information on their families, marriages, who settled where, and what they did.  
  	Adam of Bremen’s History of the Archbishops of Hamburg-Bremen, written in Latin between 1073 and 1075, contains a geographical appendix (Book 4:38) documenting Vinland. Bremen’s text is the first surviving continental European record of Norse contact with North America, which proves that elite intellectual circles in medieval Germany already knew about Leif Erikson’s exploration in the same century he discovered Vinland.  
  	These histories and genealogies briefly mention Vinland, Leif Erikson, Erik the Red, and other family members, but the most robust sources of information are the two Vinland sagas: The Saga of the Greenlanders and The Saga of Erik the Red. These stories were written between 1200 and 1265, about two centuries after Leif Erikson lived. Before that, they were told orally, which helps explain why modern scholars typically dismiss the sagas as historically unreliable because of the centuries-long gap between when the events happened and when they were finally recorded in writing.

  Because I Love You - Three women...

  'I was here. This happened. It mattered. And now, I am ready to carry on.'
  This is not a book about break-ups. It's about erasure. About the quiet harm that can live inside love, the kind that doesn't leave bruises on the skin but rewrites the architecture of your mind. It's for anyone who's wondered whether they were overreacting, too sensitive, too much, too little. Anyone who has asked, 'Am I the problem?'
  Joy Watson's exquisite excavation of the female psyche traces the inner lives of three women: Zara, Mira and Thuli. Their stories unfold in fragments, with beginnings, middles and endings that are not always clean, and are interwoven with reflections from the author's own experience. These are real stories, lightly fictionalised to protect those who lived them.
  If you have ever felt lonelier in a relationship than you were on your own, this book is for you. And as you begin again, you are not alone.
