Best Selling Books

How Psychology Works

Using straightforward definitions and clear, striking visuals, How Psychology Works makes the workings of the brain easy to understand and shows what happens when things go wrong.

Be Your Own Dating Coach

Be Your Own Dating Coach is an upbeat, positive and humorous look at understanding yourself better, increasing your self-esteem, having more fun and getting the relationships you want and deserve.

Sizzling Sex

At last a sex book, that tells – and shows – you just how it is in a direct, intelligent and no-nonsense way. Knowing how to ‘do’ sex doesn’t necessarily mean excitement, fulfilment and fun any more than knowing how to boil an egg to runny perfection makes you an expert chef.
