In this work, Ruby Wax tries to come up with some answers to that niggling question about who we are. With the input of a monk (an expert on our inner lives) and a neuroscientist (an expert on the brain), Ruby explores how to find happiness in the modern world - despite the constant bombardment of bad news, the need to choose between 5000 different types of toothpaste, and the loneliness of having hundreds of friends who we've never met and don't...

Most of us believe that our personalities, abilities and health are down to a combination of both our upbringing and our natural genetic makeup. Labels we are given as a child continue through to our adult years - often holding us back and stopping us from change. However, in this new book, Oliver James uncovers the truth...

'Who Moved My Cheese?' is a simple parable that reveals profound truths. Cheese is a metaphor for what you want in life - whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money or a possession, health or spiritual peace of mind.

Imagine a sisterhood - across all creeds and cultures. An unspoken agreement that we, as women, will support and encourage one another. That we will remember we don't know what struggles each of us may be facing elsewhere in our lives and so we will assume that each of us is doing our best - so begins 'We', an inspiring, empowering, and provocative manifesto for change.

How can we be our strongest selves in life's most challenging situations?
