Ten Times Happier

Owen O’Kane looks at how modern life can create ongoing pressure across work, relationships and money, and how this can lead to fixating on the wrong things. He sets out ways to adjust perspective and move away from harmful patterns in areas people often struggle with, including the past, the mind, other people, worry, behaviours and the future. The book presents evidence-based tools and techniques intended to help readers move forward.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Susan Cain presents introversion and extroversion as a core dimension of personality, stating that at least a third of people are introverts. She discusses how qualities such as shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are frequently judged negatively, and argues that introverts are often misunderstood and undervalued. The book combines research and real stories with tools to support self-understanding and help readers make the most of their strengths.
