The Sunday Times Bestseller, 'Has anyone ever written a more inspirational paean to the joy of life?' Daily Mail

A BLIZZARD CAN'T HIDE BETRAYAL. When a winter storm traps eight teens in a remote ski cabin, they find themselves stranded with a killer. From the acclaimed author of The Ivies and Pretty Dead Queens comes a YA thriller that will make your blood run cold. The trip of a lifetime might be the death of them all. The students of LA’s elite Warner Prep can’t wait for their Senior Excursion—five days of Instagrammable adventure in one of the world’s most exclusive locations. This is not your average field trip.

The Bitter End

VC Publishing

When grief enters the workplace, most leaders are completely unprepared.Not because they don't care. Because nobody ever taught them what to say, what to do, or how to lead people through loss.So teams freeze.Managers worry about saying the wrong thing. Coworkers avoid difficult conversations. Grieving employees return to workplaces that suddenly feel awkward, silent, and emotionally uncertain.In Grief-Ready Teams, Bradley Vinson offers a practical and deeply human guide for navigating grief inside today's workplace. Drawing from decades of experience in chaplaincy, crisis support, and grief care, Vinson helps leaders understand how moments of loss shape workplace trust, communication, culture, and psychological safety far more than most organizations realize.This is not a book about therapy.It is a book about leadership.Through real-world insights, emotionally intelligent guidance, and practical workplace strategies, Grief-Ready Teams helps leaders: <ul><li>communicate more confidently after employee loss</li><li>avoid common workplace mistakes around grief</li><li>support grieving employees without overcomplicating care</li><li>reduce awkwardness and silence across teams</li><li>create more psychologically safe workplace cultures</li><li>lead difficult moments with steadiness and humanity</li></ul>The book also introduces Vinson's signature framework, The First 48 Hours(TM), designed to help organizations navigate the critical early hours after employee loss with greater clarity, confidence, and compassion.Because employees may forget policies.But they rarely forget how a workplace made them feel during one of the hardest moments of their lives.Perfect for: <ul><li>leaders and managers</li><li>HR professionals</li><li>ERGs and employee wellbeing teams</li><li>healthcare and education professionals</li><li>organizations seeking more human-centered leadership</li></ul>Prepared leaders respond differently.

The Solo Honeymoon

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A scorching portrait of modern America. And yet it also brings a sense of sense of hope, not only because [it] reminds us how powerful a great novel can be, but because of the sense . . . that a universal justice will prevail.”—R. J. Palacio for Time, “25 Books That Capture This American Moment” ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE SUMMER A “spectacular” (Los Angeles Times) novel from the Booker Prize–winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo, taking place at the bedside of an oil company CEO in the twilight hours of his life as he is ferried from this world into the next “Vibrant, fiendishly clever . . . Vigil is pure Saunders: the death of empathy, he insists, is greatly exaggerated.”—The Boston Globe Not for the first time, Jill “Doll” Blaine finds herself hurtling toward earth, reconstituting as she falls, right down to her favorite black pumps. She plummets towards her newest charge, yet another soul she must usher into the afterlife, and lands headfirst in the circular drive of his ornate mansion. She has performed this sacred duty 343 times since her own death. Her charges, as a rule, have been greatly comforted in their final moments. But this charge, she soon discovers, isn’t like the others. The powerful K. J. Boone will not be consoled, because he has nothing to regret. He lived a big, bold, epic life, and the world is better for it. Isn’t it? Vigil transports us, careening, through the wild final evening of a complicated man. Visitors begin to arrive (worldly and otherworldly, alive and dead), clamoring for a reckoning. Birds swarm the dying man’s room; a black calf grazes on the love seat; a man from a distant, drought-ravaged village materializes; two oil-business cronies from decades past show up with chilling plans for Boone’s postdeath future. With the wisdom, playfulness, and explosive imagination we’ve come to expect, George Saunders takes on the gravest issues of our time—the menace of corporate greed, the toll of capitalism, the environmental perils of progress—and, in the process, spins a tale that encompasses life and death, good and evil, and the thorny question of absolution.

'Has the power to change the way you look at the world' Steven Bartlett'The heir to Oliver Sacks' David BaddielA FINANCIAL TIMESBEST BOOK OF 2024AN INDEPENDENTBOOK OF THE MONTHGluttony. Greed. Sloth. Pride. Envy. Lust. Anger.These are the seven deadly sins, the vices of humankind that define immorality, the roots of all evil in the world. Or so some believe.But do these sins really represent moral failings, or are they simply human functions that aid us? Are they just the result of how our bodies, psyches, and brains in particular, are wired?This new book by Dr Guy Leschziner, a professor of neurology and sleep medicine, explores the underlying nature of the seven deadly sins, their neuroscientific and psychological basis, their origin in our genes and crucially how certain medical disorders give rise to them.Drawing on his clinical practice, we meet individuals whose physical and psychological conditions have given rise to these sins, where brain injury or other experiences have sparked 'immoral' actions. He explores how illness can simply expose what lies within us and investigates how the origins of these traits lie in evolutionary imperatives to preserve the wellbeing of the tribe. Perhaps, he suggests, these character traits are less of a moral question and more biological, which raises fundamental issues of responsibility and blame in the face of 'sin'.Combining cutting-edge science placed in the context of real-life experience with patients, the book reexamines where the boundaries between normal human nature, pathology and sin are drawn. And, most importantly, whether these hard-wired traits truly represent sin, or simply the intensity of our intrinsic desire to survive and thrive.

A fascinating exploration of why Hitler’s death was only confirmed in 2018 &nbsp; Adolf Hitler has taken a long time to die, despite the lethal efficiency of the gun he put to his head in April 1945. Although eagerly anticipated around the world, there were no available witnesses to his suicide—and his corpse was not put on display. This created the perfect vacuum for myth and survival legends, while rival intelligence agencies and propaganda further confounded the investigations of successive historians. &nbsp; Caroline Sharples explores the aftermath of events at the Führerbunker in the first cultural account of this decisive yet elusive moment. Hitler’s death was widely anticipated, and the news elicited a huge range of emotions as governments and secret services scrambled to verify what they heard. The search for proof of death led to an outpouring of conspiratorial thinking, and the final moments of Hitler’s life have been reimagined ever since. &nbsp; This is an intriguing, unsettling account of a historical event we all think we know—and a sophisticated examination of how history is written.

An Investigative History

The Long Death of Adolf Hitler

We know that we must change ourselves and the world if we want to survive. So why do we cling to old habits and false certainties instead of embracing change now? In New Beginnings, Stefan Klein delves into the most pressing problems facing our world - from the climate crisis to the rapid development of artificial intelligence - and investigates why individuals and societies often resist necessary changes, despite knowing the risks of inaction. Blending scientific insights with vivid storytelling, Klein unpacks the psychological and social forces that keep us stuck, and identifies what he calls the 'seven illusions about progress' that hinder our ability to adapt. Central to his analysis is the idea that transformation is not only necessary but also achievable, provided we understand the mechanisms of change and embrace a mindset that values adaptability. New Beginnings stands out for its ability to make complex global challenges comprehensible and relatable. With his trademark clarity and optimism, Klein inspires belief that necessary change is not only possible but accessible for a sustainable future.
