Unread: A Memoir of Learning (and Loving) to Read on TikTok
"As a result of childhood learning disabilities and educational neglect, Oliver James graduated from high school and became one of approximately 45 million functionally illiterate Americans. However, at age 32, with big dreams and few tools to actualize them, he dedicated himself to learning the key skill that had evaded him his entire life: reading. Oliver has become a TikTok/BookTok sensation for the way he's candidly documented his decision to learn to read as an adult, and his struggles and triumphs along the way. Here, he tells the full story behind his journey for the first time through the 21 key books that shaped and informed his experience. His story reveals the ways in which reading can teach each of us how to be better, more empathetic people. In just 365 days, Oliver went from barely being able to read a restaurant menu to closing in on his goal of finishing 100 books in a year. Unread is a moving reminder to all of us that words and stories have power, and that, no matter our past, it's never too late to grow."

The Stoic Man: Why Society Needs Strong Men, and How You Can Become One
"When you were younger, you probably couldn't wait to become an adult so you could finally become a famous athlete, land a lucrative career, marry the girl of your dreams, and start amassing a fortune. Fast forward a few decades, and you find yourself in a completely different place. Your career might not be going too well, your love life could do with some excitement, and you feel like life has passed you by, leaving you feeling hopeless and bored. A lack of self-confidence has replaced the once-passionate, driven young man who wanted to explore everything the world had to offer. You might not believe it at first, but… these feelings and thoughts are completely normal. Men worldwide, even the most successful ones, face similar challenges. It’s hard to accept your youthful goals might not come true or that the family life you dreamed about might not be in the cards for you. But the difference between successful men and those that spend their days in bored apathy, lies in having a specific mindset and perspective. And nothing will teach you to turn the tables and equip you with life-changing lessons like the ancient philosophy of Stoicism. Unlike other schools of thought, Stoicism doesn't require you to take classes or pay for a mentor to understand its teachings fully. You need only devote yourself to the philosophy, unlearn harmful and counterproductive practices, be patient with your development, and have a valuable guide who will accompany you every step of the way. This guidebook is specifically tailored for men who have lost confidence but want to get it back and start making positive changes in their lives. Let children worry about gossip and toys and “life’s not fair” - the Stoic Man knows what to do, and he gets the job done."

"As a mother, are you comfortable in your skin? Want to know how best to be a working or stay-at-home mum? Babies have very simple needs, yet many parents are overwhelmed with elaborate advice on how to meet them.

Drawing on extensive interviews and the lastest clinical research, James identifies three basic types of mum: the Hugger, the Organiser and the Fleximum. Outlining the benefits and pitfalls of each, How Not to F*** Them Up shows you how to recognise which style suits you best and outlines simple strategies to reconcile personal ambitions with the needs of your family. Empowering and provocative, Oliver James will help you make the best choices for bringing up a happy, confident child."
