Emotionally Healthy Success

A brilliantly funny story about empathy, kindness and the importance of not judging a book by its cover... or, in this case, a mole by his mound!Mole&nbsp;is on a mission to build an extraordinary shelter for him and his friends. But Bird, Beaver and Bee don't see what the fuss is about - who would want to spend time in a muddy, mouldy mound when they could be enjoying&nbsp;Bird's impressive nest, Beaver's incredible lodge or Bee's intricate hive?One by one, they rush to build their own, far superior, homes, failing to notice a storm that is on its way. When it finally arrives, Bird, Beaver and Bee's houses are destroyed, and they are forced to seek shelter inside Mole's&nbsp;mound. It becomes clear that this seemingly ordinary&nbsp;mound&nbsp;is much more extraordinary on the inside.&nbsp;Discover a meaningful story of resilience from debut author Will Hamilton-Davies, brilliantly illustrated by Kasia Fryza with her adorable, dynamic style.

Saints and Sinners

A History of the Popes

In collaboration with JVL Media—a captivating exploration of why many high-performing Black business leaders attribute their transformational leadership qualities to their experiences growing up in the Black Church and how we can foster these skills in younger generations despite waning church attendance.The Black church in the U.S. has long been a “one-stop shop” for developing Black leaders, teaching them many of the qualities required to lead effectively in today’s ultra-competitive, digital, and swiftly transforming corporate world. Many high-performing Black leaders benefited from their experiences growing up in this cultural institution steeped in rich history.Merging cultural study with applied neuroscience and tenets of positive psychology, L. Michelle Smith dissect how these qualities are demonstrated by leaders across industries, from resiliency to their sense of undeniable purpose, their ability to build community and collaborative environments, the delivery and language of their speaking style to their unique leadership flair. She reveals how this historic institution has served as a timeless wellspring of leadership development, empowerment, and cultural preservation and ultimately, is Black leaders’ “secret sauce.”Call and Response also explores whether the Black Church will be able to continue to ingrain these skills in future generations. Smith examines how cultural shifts have resulted in a decline in church attendance, how online attendance has risen since the Covid pandemic, and finally, how Black leaders may—or may not—be passing these traditions down to their children.

Your Compact Companion for Exploring the Best Book Ever

The Lightning-Fast Field Guide to the Bible

Most leadership books are written from the top of the mountain. This one is not.
 
The Human Side of Leadership grew out of a personal challenge: taking years of LinkedIn articles about leadership and turning them into something more permanent. What emerged is a book written from somewhere on the path, by someone still climbing.
 
Chris MacKinnon has spent nearly 30 years working in IT across multiple sectors and more than 33 years coaching hockey at a high level. In both worlds, he kept running into the same truth: the technology rarely matters as much as how you deliver it, and the game plan rarely matters as much as the people running it.
 
This book does not offer a framework. It does not promise a system. It is a collection of honest reflections on the moments that actually shape leaders: when to listen instead of respond, when accountability means holding yourself to the same standard, when empathy is the thing that gets the job done. Each chapter stands on its own and can be read as a conversation, not a guide.
 
The themes that surface most often are the ones that kept coming up in his own work: trust, empathy, humility, accountability, and the weight that words carry when you are in a position of influence. The examples are drawn from IT, education, and coaching, but the lessons are not confined to those spaces. Leadership shows up wherever people influence one another.
 
If you manage people, lead teams, or are trying to become the kind of leader you would actually want to work for, this book is for you.

The Human Side of Leadership

British Library Crime Classics

"I think that it is desirable to discuss the affair - here, in the room in which the Bishop's body was found."A pernicious parson outwits the thieves of a priceless chalice from the parish treasury. A beloved vicar contemplates a perfect crime when a blackmailer comes knocking. Poisoned pen letters lead to a fall from grace for a rector's wife, and a suspicious fall from the second storey for the rector. Gathered here in this new collection are some of the greatest mystery tales in which the tendrils of crime steal into the churchyard, featuring clergymen and nuns as victims, amateur sleuths and villainous perpetrators of the devil's work. Replete with a fascinating introduction and notes from one of the guiding lights of crime fiction, Martin Edwards, this anthology delivers cosy brainteasers and fiendishly-fashioned stories with a sting in the tail, from a congregation of writers including Joyce Porter, H. C. Bailey, Cyril Hare and Edmund Crispin.

An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew Vienna well or who wish to discover another facet of the city. A magnificent private palace that can be visited by reservation, a crocodile mummy in a private library, a chocolate house, an alchemical ceiling in Schönbrunn, one of the most beautiful pharmacies in the world, an exceptional Art Nouveau church, the tomb of a fish that would have converted to Judaism, a jazz museum in public toilets, a public dump that can be visited like a museum, the oldest organ in Vienna hidden behind a painting, an empress dressed as a nun, the mystery of the symbol 05, a masculine sex discreetly sculpted on the cathedral of Vienna, a surprising private museum of billiards, an incredible bouquet of flowers made from butterfly wings, a source of water that reveals the winning lotto numbers, an extraordinary underground annex at the Mauthausen camp where the world’s first jet was built, a charming historic ‘love hotel’...

Secret Vienna

What if the strongest leaders aren't the loudest in the room-but the most self-aware?

Most leadership struggles don't come from a lack of skill or strategy. They come from leaders who don't know where they truly stand. When leaders rely on control, performance, or certainty instead of awareness, teams comply-but they don't commit.

In Leadership-The Paradox of Surrender, Hilda Koch challenges the traditional leadership narrative and introduces Point A-your true leadership starting place. Not the role you perform. Not the mask you wear. But the honest internal position from which your decisions, reactions, and influence actually emerge.

Drawing on real-world experiences, research-backed insights from psychology and leadership studies, and guided self-reflection exercises, Koch reveals why surrender-not control-is the foundation of trust, clarity, and sustainable influence. You'll uncover the 7 Game Faces leaders wear to protect themselves, learn why masks create compliance but never trust, and discover how disciplined vulnerability becomes a strategic leadership advantage.

This is not another leadership playbook filled with tactics to manage people. It's an invitation to stop performing and start leading. When leaders release illusion and lead from Point A, communication becomes clearer, teams feel safer, decisions require less force, and influence grows naturally.

Surrender in leadership is not weakness.
it is precision.
It is courage.
It is clarity.
If you're ready to stop managing perception and start creating alignment-
If you're ready to lead without armor-
Your journey starts here.
Find your Point A.
Own it.
Lead from it.
