How to create the most transformative meetings and moments

'Priya Parker has created both an art and a science to gathering in ways that can bring joy and fulfilment to any meeting' Deepak Chopra

'Hosts of all kinds, this is a must-read!' Chris Anderson, creator of TED

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being deprived of gathering has revealed just how important it is to us; to connect with others, collaborate, share ideas and create moving, life-affirming experiences.

At a time when coming together is more crucial than ever, Priya Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that can help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences in their lives, large and small, for work and for play.

Drawing on her wide expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings - a court hearing, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp - and explains how simple changes can invigorate any group experience. The result is a book full of exciting ideas of real-world applications and one that will forever alter the way you look at your next business meeting, dinner party and garden barbecue.

Our lives are pretty stressful, from the mountains of work emails to the never-ending life admin, finding time to see friends and family whilst still getting in those gym workouts, and why does everyone on Instagram have all this figured out. Working with crystals is a way to slow that frenetic world down, realign your intentions and find the inner calm we all seek. Some say that crystals are magic, but they're more than just magic. They have the power to reveal your truest self, the version of you that's been waiting to be seen and acknowledged.

The Crystal Code explains how to harness the power of these awesome rocks, introducing us to seventy stones and their unique personalities. It will show you how to find the perfect crystals to empower and energize you and will teach you some easy rituals, meditations and crystallized self-care routines. Whether it's peacock ore to give you more confidence on that nerve-racking first date, white celestite to conquer anxiety or purple amethyst to you help you feel centred, this is the ultimate guide to regaining control of your life and to feel happier, healthier and more grounded.

"A gripping read and a haunting story of love, loss and betrayal. Guaranteed to move even the hardest heart." - Independent

"Shattering ... devastating and inspiring." - Observer

"Hosseini is a truly gifted teller of tales ... he's not afraid to pull every string in your heart to make it sing." - The Times

"Rings true with tenderness and truth." - Daily Mail

"A devastating, masterful and painfully honest story of a life crippled by an act of childhood and cowardice and cruelty ... It speaks the harrowing truth about the power of evil, personal and political, and intoxicates, like a high-flying kite, with the power of hope." - Daily Telegraph

"Stunning and heartbreaking in its quiet intensity." - Guardian

"This is one of those unforgettable stories that stay with you for years. All the great themes of literature and of life are the fabric of this extraordinary novel: love, honour, guilt, fear, redemption ... It is so powerful that for a long time after, everything I read seemed bland." - Isabel Allende

Afghanistan, 1975: Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the local kite-fighting tournament and his loyal friend Hassan promises to help him. But neither of the boys can foresee what will happen to Hassan that afternoon, an event that is to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return to Afghanistan under Taliban rule to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.

This A4 sized deskpad has been designed to let your mind breathe.

A weekly desk planner allows you to have a bird's eye view of your week and truly alleviates your anxiety (provided you fill it up on Sunday) so you can tackle your week knowing your important appointments, meetings, deadlines, and key tasks.

Based on Rachida's years of coaching, working in the legal sector (where the workload can reach insane levels), and having a deep interest in what neuroscience tells us about focus, her main finding is this: less is more.

This deskpad has an airy design that gives you the space to think, draw, and add all the little things that make it your own e.g., create little boxes to tick off tasks if that's what motivates you and/or divide the square into sections for tasks and your daily timetable.

The paper is exquisite and it comes with instructions on the back of the belly band explaining the best way to maximise your deskpad.
