This is Marketing: You Can’t Be Seen Until You Learn To See
by Seth GodinTHE FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH Over the past quarter century, Seth Godin has taught and inspired millions of entrepreneurs, marketers, leaders, and fans from all walks of life, via his blog, online courses, lectures, and bestselling books. He is the inventor of countless ideas and phrases that have made their way into mainstream business language, from Permission Marketing to Purple Cow to Tribes to The Dip. Now, for the first time, Godin offers the core of his marketing wisdom in one accessible, timeless package. At the heart of his approach is a big idea: Great marketers don't use consumers to solve their company's problem; they use marketing to solve other people's problems. They don't just make noise; they make the world better. Truly powerful marketing is grounded in empathy, generosity, and emotional labour.This book teaches you how to identify your smallest viable audience; draw on the right signals and signs to position your offering; build trust and permission with your target market; speak to the narratives your audience tells themselves about status, affiliation, and dominance; spot opportunities to create and release tension; and give people the tools to achieve their goals.It's time for marketers to stop lying, spamming, and feeling guilty about their work. It's time to stop confusing social media metrics with true connections. It's time to stop wasting money on stolen attention that won't pay off in the long run. This is Marketing offers a better approach that will still apply for decades to come, no matter how the tactics of marketing continue to evolve.
This Is It
by Conor CreightonConor Creighton came out of the womb chewing his fingernails. A chaotic childhood saw his default mode set to ‘generally miserable’, so he left home at 17, vowing never to return.The ensuing decades of disorder resulted in chronic anxiety. At rock bottom, he signed up for a ten-day silent meditation retreat. It was hell. His legs ached. His butt felt like it was on fire. His mind threw at him a never-ending collage of regrets, wants and realisations. Then, suddenly, for the first time in nearly twenty years, he felt calm as relief and, eventually, joy washed over him.He learned that meditation has just one goal: to recognise that this is it. There is nothing else. No desire to get anywhere or change or improve anything. When Conor stopped trying to get somewhere or ‘be someone’ and realised that this, and this alone, is it, his anxiety abated, he learned to like himself and he discovered that he might even be happy.By remembering that ‘this is it’ in uncomfortable times and in comfortable times, your life can become a lot like meditation. In this highly entertaining, refreshingly honest memoir and meditation guide, you’ll discover how.

This Dream Is Not for You: Learn to Live by Letting Go
by Wade JoyeChristian speaker and Bible teacher Wade Joye pushes back against the dominant self-help teaching of the day—to follow your dreams—and encourages us to let go and surrender our lives to God in order to truly live. &“Follow your dreams&” is the self-help message of our day. In our schools and universities, media, and culture, and even in church, we are taught to dream big, work hard, and find true happiness in living our dreams. And so we spend our lives chasing. But as we chase our dreams, we can be met with exhaustion, anxiety, and disappointment. Our circumstances may put our dreams in jeopardy, or even deny them—and we&’re heartbroken. Or we achieve them and just want more. Wade Joye offers here a different way. Release your grip on your dreams and trust God with your whole life. Joye shows that by letting go we are freed from the pressure to secure some ideal, unattainable life, and instead become open to God and his plans. Living a life of daily surrender to God&’s purpose we begin to see glimpses of God in our present circumstance, as he shows us that he, more than anyone, can be trusted. With deep wisdom, frank teaching, and a pastor&’s heart, Wade guides readers step-by-step to the place of letting go, the place where we find real life.

This Book Will Make You Feel Something: Masturbation meditations to use on your own or with a partner
by Florence BarkThis book contains mouth-opening ways to mix up your masturbation routine, inserted between 25 steamy stories for you to masturbate to. You deserve to feel pleasure. Come on in. The power of female masturbation is immense - it's proven to release happy hormones in our brains, increase self-esteem and improve our external sex lives. So why then do we give ourselves such little time to do it? Maybe it's because we were never taught about how pleasure works when we were teenagers. Or because we don't have material we want to masturbate to. Or because society makes us think that it's acceptable to set time aside to explore and pleasure our partners, but less so if it's for ourselves.ENTER THIS BOOK!In the simplest and most exciting way possible, sex and relationships educator Florence Bark has explained how your anatomy works and the many ways to engage it. There are 25 ideas on how to change up the way you masturbate and, because 85% of women don't want to watch porn, to go with each tip is a 'masturbation meditation' - a steamy story specifically designed to be masturbated to, where you can imagine what the people within it look like and you know it's been ethically created. This ground-breaking book - the first of its kind - gives you the tools and permission you need to not just feel something, but everything. Please note: We believe the tips in the book will best apply to people with vulvas (though please note the data it is based on comes from surveys of cis-women). The stories on the other hand could apply to anyone depending on your personal preferences. So no matter how you identify, you're very welcome at this party.
