    THE INSTANT NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

    ‘A wonderful book’ Dr Chris van Tulleken, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ultra-Processed People

    Sleep better thanks to cherries
    Fix your brain fog with good fats
    Improve your metabolism with brazil nuts

    When we talk about hormones, we so often think of them as a ‘women’s issue’. But our hormones regulate everything from our sleep, to the way we eat, our stress response and our moods. In Hack Your Hormones Davinia Taylor, entrepreneur and biohacking pioneer, breaks down how best to optimise all of our hormones.

    Davinia gives symptom-led advice, backed up with the expertise of a doctor, on how lifestyle hacks and supplements can balance our cortisol, adrenaline, dopamine and more, even Vitamin D (yep, it’s a hormone). And the answers might be as close as your kitchen cupboards.

    This groundbreaking new book is full of simple, accessible hacks that will make you feel not just better, but amazing.

    ‘Let’s get our hormones into the optimum place they can be. Because if I can feel better, then anyone can. This is proper, real empowerment, not tampon ad empowerment! This is your body, nobody can look after it like you can.’ Davinia

  • Mind The Gap: The truth about desire and how to futureproof your sex life

    06

    ‘This book taught me so much about female desire. A must read!’ Cherry Healey

    Did you know that there is an orgasm gap of around 30% between heterosexual couples when they have sex?

    In Mind The Gap, Dr Karen Gurney, a clinical psychologist and certified psychosexologist, explores not just this gap, but the gaps in our knowledge of so much of the most important new science around sex and desire.

    In this book, you will learn that nearly everything that you’ve been led to believe about female sexuality isn’t actually true. And that, despite what you might think, it is possible to simultaneously feel little to no spontaneous desire and have a happy and mutually satisfying sex life long term.

    Exploring the mismatch between ideas about sex in our society and what the science tells us, Mind The Gap also explains how this disconnect lies at the root of many of our sexual problems.

    Combining science with case studies, practical exercises and tips, this is a book for anyone who wants to better understand the mechanics of desire and futureproof their sex life, for life.

    01
    Millions compete for exposure on Google but 99% of them fail to get results.

    As the founder of leading digital intelligence firm AdGooroo, search advertising authority Richard Stokes is in a unique position to reveal what’s going wrong and provide solutions to fix it.

    Using proven strategies from today’s search advertising elite, discover how to drive significantly more traffic to your site, dramatically increase click-through rates, steal impressions from competitors, boost your conversions, and increase your sales by unbelievable amounts.

    Since the previous edition, there have been a number of revolutionary changes in paid search. First, we are increasingly searching from our cell phones rather than desktop computers. Second, Google is no longer the only game in town. For example, Bing, relatively ignored by marketers, once accounted for 30 percent of all U.S. searches and remains a stealth marketing tool. Finally, “search extensions” have become a powerful new technique you can use to collect phone numbers and email addresses with your ads, limit your ads to certain times of day, deliver coupons to nearby customers, and even provide handy “call me” buttons that are displayed only on cell phones. In this new edition, Stokes details all this and more.

    3000. That’s the number of marketing messages the average American confronts on a daily basis from TV commercials, magazine and newspaper print ads, radio commercials, pop-up ads on gaming apps, pre-roll ads on YouTube videos, and native advertising on mobile news apps. These commercial messages are so pervasive that we cannot help but be affected by perpetual come-ons to keeping buying. Over the last decade, advertising has become more devious, more digital, and more deceptive, with an increasing number of ads designed to appear to the untrained eye to be editorial content. It’s easy to see why. As we have become smarter at avoiding ads, advertisers have become smarter about disguising them.

    Mara Einstein exposes how our shopping, political, and even dating preferences are unwittingly formed by brand images and the mythologies embedded in them. Advertising: What Everyone Needs to Know® helps us combat the effects of manipulative advertising and enables the reader to understand how marketing industries work in the digital age, particularly in their uses and abuses of “Big Data.’ Most importantly, it awakens us to advertising’s subtle and not-so-subtle impact on our lives–both as individuals and as a global society. What ideas and information are being communicated to us–and to what end?

    07

    ‘A practical and no-nonsense guide on dealing with the toughest situations, from someone who has been there and done it.’ — Levison Wood

    ‘It will help you to navigate life.’ — The Times

    ***

    Historical recruitment campaigns to become a Royal Marines Commando drew on a harrowing but intriguing narrative: 99.9% Need Not Apply. In 2005, only one in a thousand applications for the Royal Marines were successful in reaching the end of training, earning the Coveted Green Beret – a world renowned symbol of excellence.

    Becoming the 0.1% is the first-ever diary account of this training regime, charting the odds-stacked journey of Gareth Timmins, a 20-year-old recruit at the time, and providing a psychological framework for understanding how he was able to cultivate the mental strength and resilience needed to push through to success.

    Each week of training is accompanied by lessons on his short-comings and growth to peak performance. It uses real-life and often terrifying experiences to describe to the reader the edge you need to cultivate a 0.1% mindset and succeed in life and work, by learning how to:

    • Visualise achievements
      • Combat fatigue and burnout
        • Stay motivated by not losing sight of the end goal
          • Eradicate complacency and achieve mastery
            • Redefine expectation and regulate disappointment
              • Live without convenience

    Venture to the bottom of the ocean where creatures beyond your wildest imagination live in the dark.
    Chase sea otters through kelp forest seas, and glide the open ocean with humpback whales.
