Summary

When did you last feel so overwhelmed by an experience that your jaw dropped? 
When were you so struck by something that you had goosebumps? 
When did you last say ‘WOW’ out loud and feel like a child again? 
 
Children say ‘WOW’ a lot. But in our busy, admin-filled, tech-driven adult lives finding time, energy and opportunity to say ‘WOW’ each day can seem impossible. 
 
Award-winning journalist and mindfulness specialist Lucy Stone has taught meditation to over 15,000 primary school children, and over the same period, taught thousands of adults including athletes, politicians and chief executives. Her observation that children found meditation far easier to grasp than adults led to a ground-breaking discovery: 
 
As adults we have lost our WOW, but the good news is we can get it back. 
 
Find Your WOW explores how finding moments of WOW is the secret to a happier, healthier, more creative and connected life. 
 
Building on her years of frontline teaching in classrooms and boardrooms, sensemaking, and research, Lucy has developed an innovative five-step framework that will help you to Find Your WOW every day. 
Packed full of practical techniques, the latest studies and unique insights, Lucy explores the science of WOW, the dangers of living in a ‘WOW-less world’, how to go ‘Good WOW hunting’ and why living in a ‘New WOW order’ can help those around us too. 
  
Find Your WOW will not only help you to see the world differently, it might just save your mind. 
 
‘Lucy is the Queen of finding WOW in the everyday.’

    A powerful, entertaining and, at times, eviscerating commentary on the most controversial of original superfoods. 
     
    Milk. It's in our coffee, on our cereal. We see it in processed form – yoghurt, butter, cheese, skimmed and lactose free. It's there in almond form, or made from oats or soy, and is as lauded as the 'perfect' food or lambasted as not fit for human consumption and a toxic planet killer, depending on who you trust. Which type you drink, whether you were raised on breastmilk, what you think of it, is affected by culture, biology and fashion. How you view it is driven by your gender and your politics, as well as your geography. 
     
    The miracle liquid has suffered an image problem. It has been used to keep people poor, to keep women subjugated, and to build corporate and medical careers. It's been blamed for climate change, the breakdown of human health, and an enabler of the industrial revolution. From perfect food to pariah, milk's role in life has often been debased. 
     
    Milk celebrates the majesty of this noble liquid, and delves into the pretenders to its throne, from formula to Mylk. It looks at the transformation of what a milk-producer eats into one of the most nutrient dense foods available, and how that can be transformed again into the butter, cheese and clotted cream that we know and love today. It's an exploration of the science, history and politics of what makes mammals different from every other life form on earth.

    This New York Times bestseller shares the rich history of the White House grounds, revealing how the story of the garden is also the story of America. The 18-acres surrounding the White House have been an unwitting witness to history—kings and queens have dined there, bills and treaties have been signed, and presidents have landed and retreated. Throughout it all, the grounds have remained not only beautiful, but also a powerful reflection of American trends. In All the Presidents' Gardens bestselling author Marta McDowell tells the untold history of the White House grounds with historical and contemporary photographs, vintage seeds catalogs, and rare glimpses into Presidential pastimes. History buffs will revel in the fascinating tidbits about Lincoln’s goats, Ike's putting green, Jackie's iconic roses, Amy Carter's tree house, and Trump's controversial renovations. Gardeners will enjoy the information on the plants whose favor has come and gone over the years and the gardeners who have been responsible for it all. As one head gardener put it, “What’s great about the job is that our trees, our plants, our shrubs, know nothing about politics.”
