  'Absolutely vital reading' - Stylist'Brave, searching' - Coco Mellors'The book you didn't know you needed' - Roxie NafousiPleasure explores why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies and from sex, and what it takes to change that.Part memoir, part cultural investigation, the book traces Emma-Louise Boynton's journey from being unable to orgasm and battling a years-long eating disorder, to rebuilding her relationship with sex, desire and intimacy.The story begins in the sex therapy room, where Boynton first discovered that her struggle with bulimia was deeply entangled with her experience of sexual numbness. From there, Pleasure expands outward - drawing on expert interviews, cultural analysis and immersive research (including four days on a porn set) - to reveal that this rupture between women and their bodies is not a personal failure, but a systemic one.From narrow ideals around desirability and sexist narratives about aging, to the policing of women's pleasure, and the emotional alienation of app-based intimacy, Boynton interrogates the forces that teach women to mistrust their bodies and perform rather than feel their pleasure.Crucially, Boynton offers a clear and practical roadmap for rebuilding desire, confidence and connection. Provocative, intimate and timely, Pleasure reframes women's relationship to sex and embodiment, arguing that reclaiming pleasure is not indulgent, but essential.The audiobook includes bonus conversations with Emma's sex therapist, Aleks Trkulja, and adult film director, Erika Lust. Emma also takes us on an Erotic Visualisation to close the audiobook. A truly immersive listen.

  The Three Brains - The...

  You think you know why you made that decision. You probably don't.
  In The Three Brains, neuroscientist and clinical psychologist Gregory Bicaj draws on two decades of laboratory research and frontline clinical practice to reveal the hidden architecture of human behavior. His central argument is disarmingly simple: every modern person runs three inherited systems at once — an ancient survival brain, an emotional brain shaped by attachment, and a late-arriving reasoning brain. Most suffering, most foolish decisions, and most self-defeating patterns don't come from weakness or stupidity. They come from the wrong system being in charge at the wrong moment.
  What makes this book unusual is its refusal to stay theoretical. Chapter by chapter, Bicaj builds a complete map of the forces that drive people without their knowing it: the shadow material we exile from self-awareness and then meet as overheated moral fury in others; the involuntary signals the body broadcasts while the face is still composing its response; the gap between polished personality and actual character that only pressure can reveal; the neuroscience of desire, which shows that the brain is built more for chasing than for having; the mechanics of envy, grandiosity, and fragile ego; the gender masks that amputate entire emotional capacities and leave people mistaking the costume for the self; the tribal brain that converts loyalty into a substitute for thought; the playbook of predatory personalities and how they exploit ordinary human needs for belonging and warmth; the way mortality anxiety quietly fuels status obsession, rigidity, and compulsive self-performance.
  Each chapter brings laboratory findings and clinical portraits together. Bicaj draws on landmark research — Nisbett and Wilson on the limits of introspection, Ekman on microexpressions, Mischel and the Good Samaritan study on character versus personality, Kahneman and Tversky on systematic cognitive error, Terror Management Theory on how death shapes behavior — while grounding these findings in the kinds of patterns he has seen repeatedly across years of treating patients with anxiety, addiction, and burnout.
