What does it take to go from good to great? Step up at work, in sports, and at home with this “transfixing book on how to sustain peak performance and avoid burnout” (Adam Grant). A few common principles drive performance, regardless of the field or the task at hand. Whether someone is trying to qualify for the Olympics, break ground in mathematical theory or craft an artistic masterpiece, many of the practices that lead to great success are the same. In Peak Performance, Brad Stulberg, a former McKinsey and Company consultant and writer who covers health and the science of human performance, and Steve Magness, a performance scientist and coach of Olympic athletes, team up to demystify these practices and demonstrate how you can achieve your best. The first book of its kind, Peak Performance combines the inspiring stories of top performers across a range of capabilities—from athletic to intellectual and artistic—with the latest scientific insights into the cognitive and neurochemical factors that drive performance in all domains. In doing so, Peak Performance uncovers new linkages that hold promise as performance enhancers but have been overlooked in our traditionally-siloed ways of thinking. The result is a life-changing book in which you can learn how to enhance your performance via myriad ways including: optimally alternating between periods of intense work and rest; priming the body and mind for enhanced productivity; and developing and harnessing the power of a self-transcending purpose. In revealing the science of great performance and the stories of great performers across a wide range of capabilities, Peak Performance uncovers the secrets of success, and coaches you on how to use them. If you want to take your game to the next level, whatever “your game” may be, Peak Performance will teach you how.

This program is read by the author. A guide to all kinds of addiction from a star who has struggled with heroin, alcohol, sex, fame, food, and eBay, that will help addicts and their loved ones make the first steps into recovery. “This manual for self-realization comes not from a mountain but from the mud…. My qualification is not that I am better than you but I am worse.” (Russell Brand) With a rare mix of honesty, humor, and compassion, comedian and movie star Russell Brand mines his own wild story and shares the advice and wisdom he has gained through his 14 years of recovery. Brand speaks to those suffering along the full spectrum of addiction – from drugs, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar addictions to addictions to work, stress, bad relationships, digital media, and fame. Brand understands that addiction can take many shapes and sizes and how the process of staying clean, sane, and unhooked is a daily activity. He believes that the question is not “why are you addicted?” but “what pain is your addiction masking? Why are you running – into the wrong job, the wrong life, the wrong person’s arms?” Russell has been in all the 12-step fellowships going, he’s started his own men’s group, he’s a therapy regular and a practiced yogi – and while he’s worked on this material as part of his comedy and previous best sellers, he’s never before shared the tools that really took him out of it, that keep him clean and clear. Here he provides not only a recovery plan but an attempt to make sense of the ailing world.

Are you struggling with anxiety? Fed up with trying things that just don’t seem to work? Maybe you are completely overwhelmed and beginning to lose hope that things will change for you? Then read on, because I felt like this too. Simply Anxious: Notes on Anxiety Recovery is written by Lisa Towers, BEM, a much-celebrated anxiety advocate for her compassion and levelheadedness. Lisa is also the founder of the hugely popular “simply_anxious” Instagram community. In this audiobook, she shares her story and the tools that helped her recover from an anxiety disorder after years of suffering. Lisa says, “I wasted many years of my life struggling to find the way back to my old self. I would watch people around me enjoying life and wonder why I couldn’t—what on Earth had happened to me? Inside, I was crumbling and completely lost in the confusion and shame that anxiety disorders create.” Lisa believes no one should be left to suffer in silence when struggling with their mental health. Yet because of the stigma around taking medications, using therapies, or speaking openly about our struggles, many of us do. She believes that if support had been available and packaged in a way that validated what she was experiencing, making her feel like a human, then maybe she wouldn’t have suffered for so long. Lisa says, “For this very reason, once I’d made a full recovery, I decided to write a book that gives practical insights and words of hope, because above everything else, that is what we need when we find ourselves in the midst of an anxiety disorder feeling helpless, alone, and unsure of what to do to help ourselves.” This audiobook is a perfect springboard to help anyone struggling with anxiety. Written in short, bite-sized sections to ensure an easy listen for tired and anxious minds, it covers everything we worry about along with things we can do to help ourselves. It’s a comforting pick for the bedside table or handbag and an ideal choice to support anyone who is either awaiting therapy, struggling between therapy sessions, or wanting to recover through self-help. About the Author Lisa Towers has been raising mental health awareness for over a decade. In 2015, she was recognized in the Queen’s New Year Honors and awarded a British Empire Medal for her contribution. While working as a civil servant, Lisa cofounded a national staff support network, Break the Stigma, that brought positive change, support, and more importantly, a voice for those suffering from their mental health within a large civil service department. She and a colleague were the brains behind well-being rooms introduced in many UK government office buildings, staff mental health first-aid training, and a mental health buddy support system. Lisa also teamed up with the National Mental Health Campaign “It’s Time to Talk”, where she appeared in their TV advert and attended several high profile mental health events to share her story. Since leaving her career in 2019, Lisa has continued with her advocacy work, reaching a broader audience using social media.

A 2019 updated re-release: featuring an updated author’s note chapter. The road to sobriety is hard, and I don’t intend to sugarcoat any part of it for you. In this book, I will take it back to the beginning. My life was that of a hardcore weekend binge drinker, one blackout night after another. I welcome you into my rock-bottom moments, my losing all control, and my putting my life back together, piece by piece. Sober as F*** is a personal memoir of my first two years of sobriety, but it is not only about becoming sober from alcohol. I was forced to face and accept many sobering realities about myself along the way when I put down the bottle. Everything in my life had to be broken down to nothing in order to rebuild it from the ground up. I would have to acknowledge my unhealthy relationships with men, come to terms with depression and anxiety, and to realize that I had been drowning all of my issues and emotions away, one swig of vodka at a time. In the beginning of my sobriety, I looked for support in many places. All of the books and stories I found never fit what mine looked like. So, this one is for all the people out there with stories like mine, looking for reassurance that there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. I was so desperate to find that kind of reassurance during my journey, so I hope my story can be that for you. To the millennial weekend binger, to the young woman so desperate to feel love, to the one losing all hope that things can get better – this one is for you.
