    I Should Have Left the Whiskey is the first book in the Rambling On trilogy – compelling tales from a time when motorcycles were left in the shed and global exploration slowed to the pace of cycling. 
    These diaries divulge two very different journeys in Asia: because progressing into enlightened India required some back-pedalling through darkest Thailand en route to China. 
    After impulsively purchasing a bicycle in Bangkok and taking to the frantic city streets, Graham was hit by the realisation that life in the fast lane could have an impact on his health. 
    Pedalling away from the madding crowd, he hauled his heavy load to mountain settlements lost somewhere in time. Desperate and dehydrated, he was subjected to all that the lonely road bestows upon the soul. 
    It soon became apparent that whiskey was not the best choice of refreshment. However, he rebelliously refused to abandon the bottle or the mission, keeping his glassy eyes fully focused on what was ahead. 
    A year later, having eliminated some of the heavier baggage from that journey, he found himself in southern India. Surely, this coast-hugging, palm-shaded backwater route would be a breeze … but the easy road is not always the right path. 
    Had reckless decisions taken him beyond his abilities? With flashbacks, foresight and the riotous brutal honesty that is confined to a diary, all will be revealed. 
    This audio book contains bonus outtakes from the recording sessions.

    A science-backed framework for achieving your potential in high-stakes momentsFor more than twenty years, Dr. Justin Anderson has led Premier Sport Psychology, a high-performance psychology consulting group that has become one of the most trusted names in mental training for sport and leadership. Working alongside elite athletes, coaches, and executives, Anderson and his team have transformed careers by helping clients target what truly separates sustained excellence from those that stumble when the heat rises. It's not a mysterious clutch gene, motivation, bravado, or positive thinking—it's a trainable skill. "Intentional Attention" is the ability to deliberately direct and sustain focus on what drives performance, especially when distraction, emotion, and uncertainty surge. In a world engineered to capture our attention, this skill has become to be one of the rarest and most decisive competitive advantages. 
     
    Anderson introduces a practical, science-backed framework for strengthening the attentional systems that drive performance. Through gripping stories from locker rooms and boardrooms and drawing on high-performance psychology principles, Intentional Attention will help listeners: understand why the brain defaults to protection instead of execution; identify the attentional patterns that subtly undermine consistency; build daily routines for awareness, intention, execution, reflection, and renewal; and perform with steadiness and confidence when the stakes are highest. 
     
    Pressure is inevitable, but where your attention goes when it arrives makes all the difference. This book shows you how to train that skill—and how to carry it into every arena of your life.

    Hockey is a game where team rivalries are literally sealed with blood into the ice. No other major sport has fans going into the penalty box to fight the players or players going over the boards to fight the fans. Hockey has been known to see team mascots unwittingly cheat death during pre-game entertainment and players escape death mid-action. From benches lined with more coaches than players by game's end to lifetime-ban-inducing penalties worthy of assault charges, this international sport has seen the most bizarre - and often violent - action a broadcaster could only hope to describe. The Voices of Hockey boasts 65 NHL play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, sharing the game's most pinnacle moments of the past 60 plus years. From the Broad Street Bullies to the Bruise Brothers; the great one to the great eight; from flying octopi, catfish, and plastic rats to National Anthem interrupting shouts, these 65 storytellers encapsulate the greatest moments the only sport deserving of the nickname "the fastest game on earth” has to offer.  
    Kirk McKnight is a published American author specializing in sports journalism with an emphasis on broadcasting. He has written three books featuring over 130 play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, for both hockey and baseball. McKnight’s other published books include The Voices of Baseball: The Game’s Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America’s Pastime and Batting Clean: Why Dale Murphy Belongs in Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Currently serving as editor for The Wahkiakum County Eagle, McKnight lives in Cathlamet, Washington, with his wife, Collette and their child, Adaira.

    'I needed to breathe. Not the short, shallow breaths that keep you alive … merely existing. I wanted that breath that starts deep down in your being and fills your lungs and limbs with life.'
    Claire Walsh spent her twenties living the life she thought she was supposed to live, all the while playing hide-and-seek with depression. In her thirties, finding herself single and living with her parents, she decided it was time to chart a different path.
    In Central America Claire discovered freediving, plunging up to 60 metres below the water's surface without the use of breathing apparatus. It taught her the power of breathwork, but more importantly it taught her how to find freedom in the present moment.
    Under Water is a candid and captivating story of what it's like to take part in one of the most dangerous sports in the world, and a reminder that sometimes all we need to do is take a deep breath.
    '20,000 leaues of sparkling adventure and tap-dancing prose.' Ruth Fitzmaurice, author of I Found My Tribe
