After co-founding the marketing agency Social Chain with friend and fellow university drop out Steven Bartlett, and growing it to a US$300 million turnover business with 750 staff in offices around the world, Dom was flying high as one of the UK’s most exciting and in-demand entrepreneurs. But behind the scenes, he was battling alcohol addiction and sabotaging everything in his life – from relationships, health, finances, and ultimately his career.

Sharing the lessons he’s learnt seven years on from his last drink, the book recalls the highs and lows of his journey to sobriety and what advice he’d give to anyone looking to change their relationship with alcohol. It also interrogates how ingrained drinking is in our society – and what we can do to change this for the better. From tackling stereotypes around sobriety being boring to examining how peer pressure and party culture has normalised unhealthy behaviours, I’m Never Drinking Again questions how we’ve got to this point and what we can do to rectify it.

In Breakthrough: A Story of Hope, Resilience and Mental Health Recovery, Dr. Ahmed Hankir delivers a unique and powerful insight into mental health recovery by tracing his own personal journey from impoverished and shunned psychiatric patient to award-winning consultant psychiatrist.

With extraordinary candour, Ahmed reveals the obstacles that nearly shattered his dreams of being a doctor – from the financial pressures to the discrimination he faced at the hands of his peers and educators – and the bullying, racism, and harassment he experienced throughout medical school, post-graduate specialisation and whilst working in the NHS.

The book also recalls his journey to recover from episodes of severe psychological distress and suicidal thoughts whilst at university, and how these experiences have shaped his career focus in psychiatry and suicide prevention. From experiencing a breakdown/breakthrough at medical school to winning the World Health Organisation’s Director General Award for Global Health in honour of his work campaigning for mental health destigmatisation and humanization of persons living with a mental health condition, Dr Hankir’s story of recovery is an inspirational tale of resilience and hope amidst adversity and disadvantage.

Ahmed is a well-known mental health advocate who uses his lived experiences to educate, support and dignify others, with over 100k followers on both Twitter/X and Tik Tok. As a proud British Muslim, he is also an expert on challenging Islamophobia and mental health related stigma in the Muslim community.

Mark Simmonds' life was mapped out from the very beginning: go to university, climb the corporate ladder, marry and have children. But life isn't so easy, and success is hard to manage. After making what seemed like the right move in his career, Mark suffered from increasing levels of stress and anxiety, leading to his nervous breakdown.

As the ground he'd stood on for years started to crumble, Mark did something he never thought he'd do: he stepped back from his work to focus on creating a balance in his life. But then his world fell apart for a second time when his daughter, Emily, became anorexic.

Finding strength he never knew he had, Mark fought alongside Emily, both lost, both scared, but finding solace in one other.

Breakdown and Repair tells the touching tale of a father saving himself by saving his daughter.

Dr Liz O’Riordan is a breast cancer surgeon who has battled against social, physical and mental challenges to practise at the top of her field. Under the Knife charts Liz’s incredible highs: performing like a couture dressmaker as she moulded and reshaped women’s breasts, while saving their lives; to the heartbreaking lows of telling ten women a day that they had cancer.

But this memoir is more than just an eye-opening look at the realities of training to be a female surgeon in a man’s world. In addition to this high powered, high-pressured role, Liz faced her own breast cancer diagnosis, severe depression and suicidal thoughts, in tandem with commonplace sexual harassment and bullying. And by revealing how she coped when her life crashed around her, she demonstrates there is always hope.

With extraordinary candour, Liz O'Riordan reveals her story from being flashed at the supermarket by a patient delighted with her surgery, to how triathlons helped get her through depression and her cancer diagnoses. Liz is a well-known author, podcaster and her educational videos have helped her gather more than 55k followers on Twitter, and 25k followers on Instagram.
