We are absolutely over the moon that M. John Harrison won the 2026 Booker Prize last night for his novel #TheEndOfEverything! In the words of the inimitable chair of judges, Mary Beard: ‘It’s a book that turns you upside down, raises a wry smile – and surprisingly, given the subject matter, leaves you with a twinge of optimism. This is the politics of now seen through the lens of the future.’ We couldn’t be prouder of our fantastic author Mike and all his much-deserved success! (c) David Perry for Booker Prize foundation 10 Nov 2026 @robertgreeneofficial spent 7 years researching the Sublime and how it will change your life. Now, you can discover it for yourself.

But what exactly is shorthand? And what would we lose if it disappeared? Andrew Hill follows the story from the scribes of Ancient Rome to today’s takeover of AI, revealing how a system of symbols shaped the modern world and can still offer a valuable way to record, store and recall our brightest ideas today. #TakeNote is out now ✏️ #Shorthand #Language #History 06 Nov 2026 COVER REVEAL 🦫 A Beaver Tale is the first children’s book from @bengoldsmith brought to life with stunning hand-drawn illustrations by @emma_van_zeller_illustration Inspired by the beavers rewilding Ben’s farm in Somerset, the story follows one determined beaver as he transforms his home, and a whole wetland comes alive around him. It’s a joyful first introduction to rewilding, wetlands and the vital role of nature’s ecosystem engineers. ‘I hope children will dive into A Beaver Tale with wild abandon and pick up a thing or two about these enchanting ecosystem engineers,’ says Emma.

The best is yet to come! 05 Nov 2026 Are you open to listening? Are you willing to question? Are you here to learn? Wisdom is work. But it’s worth it. It is central to a meaningful life; it gives perspective, reveals knowledge and guides our path. Without it, our best qualities become our worst. Drawing on lessons from history, and through cautionary tales, Ryan Holiday shows how to keep an open mind in times of division and disruption; to listen more than we talk; to think with nuance and ruthlessly question our own beliefs. The final instalment in Ryan Holiday’s bestselling Stoic Virtues series, #WisdomTakesWork, is out now in paperback. #RyanHoliday #Stoicism #StoicVirtues #DailyStoic 05 Nov 2026 #LifeInPerspective by productivity expert and bestselling author of #BuildingASecondBrain Tiago Forte is out today!

Through powerful, practical exercises, you will uncover hidden patterns in your experiences, identify what is most important for you right now, and translate those insights into meaningful plans for the future.
