    This is my rough guide to things that matter : our emotional wounds, sub-conscious drives, and why we make serious mistakes; how to befriend our fears, express our passions, and thrive in the face of adversity. Yet, all the know-how comes to nothing, without the courage to apply it. If we’re to live freely & fully, we have to muster some grit.As a Cambridge University doctor of psychology who lectures about radiant well-being, I wrote 100 columns for The London Times and have gladly consulted for 20 years to individuals, schools and business. The field has made wonderful break-throughs that I wish were common knowledge, so I’ve gathered the insights & antidotes that proved game-changing for the glowing personalities who taught me that taking care of yourself isn’t being selfish, because when you strive to live well, the goodness ripples outwards through the world around.I wrote this book for everyone’s best-friend and romantic partner, as much as for the big-hearted parents, teachers and health professionals I greatly admire. It’s my warm invitation to compare notes on the practical skills & guiding principles that can help us live bravely for those we love.

    From a bestselling author with unprecedented access to Pope Francis, an investigative look at the recent financial scandals at the highest levels of the Vatican 
    A veritable war is waging in the Church: on one side, there is Pope Francis's strong message for one church of the poor and all; on the other, there is the old Curia with its endless enemies, and the old and new lobbies struggling to preserve their not-so-Christian privileges. 
    The old guard do not back down, they are ready to use all means necessary to stay in control and continue the immoral way they conduct their business. They resist reforms sought by Pope Francis and seek to delegitimize their opponents, to isolate those who want to eliminate corruption. It's a war that will determine the future of the church. And if he loses the battle against secular interests and blackmail, Pope Francis could resign, much like his predecessor.  
    Based on confidential information—including top secret documents from inside the Vatican, and actual transcripts of Pope Francis's admonishments to the papal court about the lack of financial oversight and responsibility—Merchants in the Temple illustrates all the undercover work conducted by the Pope since his election and shows the reader who his real enemies are. It reveals the instruments Francis is using to reform the Vatican and rid it, once and for all, of the overwhelming corruption traditionally encrusted in the Roman Catholic Church. 
    Merchants in the Temple is a startling book that will shock every reader. It's a story worthy of a Dan Brown novel, with its electrifying details of the trickery and scheming against the papacy—except that it is real.A Macmillan Audio production.
