  Corporate America brings with it many advantages that make it an attractive career path. Six-figure salaries, generous health benefits, and a path to retirement, if you’re fortunate enough to go the distance. But building a lasting and rewarding career in corporate America is difficult no matter what your racial or gender background happens to be. From navigating office politics to dealing with difficult bosses and co-workers, while managing the anxiety-inducing realities of layoffs and reorgs—all while working to secure your financial future—corporate life is not for the faint of heart. 
    
  While there are over 20 million books sold yearly on how to manage corporate life, Company Men: A Wellness Guide for Black Men in Corporate America is one of the few to speak directly to Black professional men in addressing the unique challenges they face in maintaining their well-being across various spectrums (mental, physical, social, and financial). Company Men offers the help and tools Black men need to extract the benefits of working in corporate America while minimizing the physical and psychological effects of the challenges that come from being a person of color in these spaces.  
    
  This is why Company Men is such a critical read for Black men who want to succeed in corporate America, especially those with C-suite ambitions. Its focus isn’t just about how to make the most money or land the biggest job. Company Men is about equipping Black men with insights to help them achieve physical, mental, and professional wellness while working in the pressurized world of corporate America during what should be our peak earning years.

  When she is four years old Amra Pajalić realises that her mother is different. Fatima is loving but sometimes hears strange voices that tell her to do bizarre things. She is frequently sent to hospital and Amra and her brother are passed around to family friends and foster homes, and for a time live with their grandparents in Bosnia. 
  At sixteen Amra ends up in the school counsellor’s office for wagging school. She finally learns the name for the malady that has dogged her mother and affected her own life: bipolar disorder. Amra becomes her mother’s confidante and learns the extraordinary story of her life: when she was fifteen years old Fatima visited family friends only to find herself in an arranged marriage. At sixteen she was a migrant, a mother, and mental patient. 
  Surprisingly funny, Things Nobody Knows But Me is a tender portrait of family and migration, beautifully told. It captures a wonderful sense of bicultural place and life as it weaves between St Albans in suburban Australia and Bosanska Gradiška in Bosnia. Ultimately it is the heartrending story of a mother and daughter bond fractured and forged by illness and experience. Fatima emerges as a remarkable but wounded woman who learns that her daughter really loves her. 
  ‘Brave, compassionate, searingly honest and funny, this is a memoir in a voice like no other. Amra Pajalić’s love letter to her mother is a book that grabs at your heart and doesn’t let go until the final page.’ ALICE PUNG

Philippa Ryder's journey to embracing her true self as a transgender woman has left an indelible mark on Irish culture. Growing up as a boy in the 1960s, she felt out of place, drawn to dressing in her sister's and later her wife's clothes.
