Sophie brings wisdom and a sense of calm to the often anxiety-filled time of birth and new motherhood. Her mindfulness guides are a must-have for all women.

This book is like a gentle hug for new mothers. A wonderful resource that will help new mothers navigate the waters that they find themselves in after giving birth. There is no other resource like this that gives you the tools to cope with becoming a new mother while honouring the process at the same time. A must read for mothers-to-be, new mums and anyone supporting them.

A supremely honest book. This delivers what we know to expect from Sophie Fletcher - space to breathe, permission to be, guidance on that transition to become mothers. She allows the reader to come to terms and then empower them to navigate their own path as mothers.

—— Jenny Parsons, midwife

As a perinatal psychiatrist I welcome this book as a beautiful tool to support mental wellness in the early years of mothering. Sophie’s warm voice and wisdom leaps off the page and gives many practical tips to help us cope and thrive as mothers. There is much to learn from this lovely book.

In this expansive survey, nature writer Ferguson argues that nature’s ‘harmony, balance, and rhythm’ can teach humans how to live peaceful, vital lives. Ferguson’s eight assertions each speak to the powerful connections he sees between the natural and human worlds, each beginning with his lushly delivered observations of nature.

James Wallman is the Malcolm Gladwell of today’s Experience Economy. He brings together the best of social science research with insights and stories relayed with wit and verve, all for one purpose: to help you stop wasting time and instead gain a life experienced well. Read and follow his 7-step checklist and you will change your life in amazing ways by investing in the most precious resource on the planet: your time.

—— B. Joseph Pine II, co-author of The Experience Economy

I’ve read a lot of self-help books in my time, and many of them are hard to read. It’s tough to dish out advice without sounding either bossy or holier-than thou. James Wallman manages to be neither in Time and How to Spend It. Follow his advice, and we will change our days, and in turn, our lives. For once, this book deserves the description “life-changing”.

—— Rachel Kelly, author of Black Rainbow and Walking on Sunshine

James Wallman offers a treatise on time hygiene with solutions for the ancient conundrum of what it means to live a good life. Suffice it to say, drop what you're doing right now and read this book.

—— Scott Carney, New York Times bestselling author of What Doesn't Kill Us

If there’s one book to read to make sense of today’s “I can’t put my phone down” culture (and how to live better in it) – this is it. Smart, well-researched and very readable – I didn’t want to put it down.

—— Marianne Cantwell, author of Be a Free Range Human

Unlike money, time must be spent: 24 hours of it, every day. James Wallman distills behavioral science into a set of actionable guidelines to help us make the most of the time we have to spend.

—— Michael Norton, co-author of Happy Money

The book promises to help you view time, and the time you have, in a new light. Stop sinking it on those empty experiences with this advice from Mr Wallman and start filling your free hours with ones that enrich, instead.

—— Mr Porter
