Reviews

From the woman behind one of the most popular vegan blogs comes this beautifully-photographed book. From cherry-basil bruschetta to life-affirming nacho dip, you will want to make everything.

—— Pippa Bailey , The Independent

What's this? Creamy vegan pasta?! Angela Liddon of Oh She Glows is an ace vegan cook and her fettuccine alfredo is a delight.

—— Emerald Street , Stylist

You can't get more drool-worthy or beautifully-presented than Angela Liddon's Oh She Glows.

—— Pippa Bailey , The Independent

Glowing with goodness.

—— Vegetarian Living

A powerful invitation to live a life that is not only happy but filled with purpose, belonging, and transcendence. By combining scientific research and philosophical insights with moving accounts of ordinary people who have deeply meaningful lives, Smith addresses the most urgent questions of our existence in a delightful, masterful, and inspiring way.

—— EMMA SEPPALLA, author of The Happiness Track

The analysis that opens the book, and that structures the whole, is simple and elegant… The insight that, in our daily lives, we need to think of others and to have goals that include caring for others or working for something other than our own prosperity and advancement is the most valuable message in the book.

—— WALL STREET JOURNAL

The Power of Meaning deftly tells the stories of people, contemporary and historical, who have made the quest for meaning the mission of their lives. This powerful yet elegant book will inspire you to live a life of significance

—— DANIEL H. PINK, author of Drive

From sleep-deprived teens to overworked professionals, we are suffering from an epidemic of stress and exhaustion. It's clear our definition of success is broken. As Emily Esfahani Smith shows, only by finding our purpose and opening ourselves to life's mystery can we find true well being. Combining cutting-edge research with storytelling, The Power of Meaning inspires us to zero in on what really matters.

—— ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, author of Thrive

This powerful, beautifully written book weaves together seamlessly cutting-edge psychological research, moving personal narratives and insights from great literature to make a convincing case that the key to a good life is finding or creating meaning.

—— BARRY SCHWARTZ, author of The Paradox of Choice

The search for meaning just got a little easier, and a lot more fun. To follow Emily Esfahani Smith in this great human quest is to undertake a rewarding journey with a sure-footed guide.

—— DARRIN M. McMAHON, author of Happiness: A History

Beautifully written, evidence-based and inspiring, this is a book I've been awaiting for a very long time.

—— Adam Grant, author of Originals

Speaks to the yearning we all share for a life of depth and significance...Beautifully written and rigorously researched...reading it is a life-transforming experience...

—— Susan Cain, author of Quiet

Why do ghosts wear clothes? This is just one of a number of interesting questions raised by this jaunty book ... In a series of short, snappy chapters, Clarke examines the evidence for just about every ghost who ever drew, or withdrew, breath ... but A Natural History of Ghosts is also haunted by another story, lurking not very far beneath: the story of the author's childhood need to believe in ghosts, and the gradual erosion of that belief

—— Craig Brown , Daily Mail

A gripping history that traces the scientific and social aspects of ghostly sightings

—— Telegraph

Compelling ... Research into the paranormal necessarily involves a fair degree of debunking, and Clarke is careful to be sceptical. The narrative of ghost-hunting is simultaneously a history and exposure of fraud and popular delusion ... [yet] Clarke retains a boyish and ... well-informed enthusiasm for his subject

—— Independent

[A] voyage through the half-lit world of lost souls ... tales told with ghoulish relish

—— Telegraph
