John Murray Badass Habits by Jen SinceroBadass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often do not keep) on social media.Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again--our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears. Badass Habits features Jen trademark hilarious voice and offers a much-needed fresh take on the conventional wisdom and science that shape the optimism (or pessimism) around the age-old topic of habits.The book includes enlightening interviews with people who have successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspective on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a simple, 21 day, step-by-step guide for ditching habits that do not serve us and developing the habits we deem most important.Habits should not be impossible to reset--and with healthy boundaries, knowledge of--and permission to go after--our desires, and an easy to implement plan of action, we can make any new goal a joyful habit.1,99 £*Shipping: 1,99 £Secure redirect to the provider

John Murray Press A Time of Gifts: A John Murray Journey by Patrick Leigh Fermor - Paperback Travel Memoir - Classic 1930s Europe Walking Adventure -A Time of Gifts is Patrick Leigh Fermor's celebrated travel memoir recounting his 1933 walk from the Hook of Holland toward Constantinople, aged just eighteen. Told decades later with dazzling recall, it captures a Europe on the brink of catastrophe, seen through the eyes of a penniless, curious young wanderer. Rich in landscape, language and encounter, it remains one of the twentieth century's most admired works of travel writing. The book follows Fermor's journey as he sets out with little more than a rucksack and a few pounds, tracing a route through Holland, up the Rhine, across Germany, down the Danube and on through Austria and Czechoslovakia towards Hungary. Along the way, he records with equal delight the kindness of peasants and the fading grandeur of a vanishing world, often sleeping in barns one night and in the castles of impoverished Central European aristocracy the next.
