"Empire" carries huge historical baggage, but America is undeniably an imperial superpower - and yet all empires must end. Whether the US collapses swiftly from internal and external pressures, or declines and dissolves more peacefully over several centuries, depends on what its citizens and leaders do today. The present moment has never been more perilous.

Written from a sympathetic and non-partisan perspective, this book addresses the current climate as the country gears up for the 2024 presidential election. It lays out the historical, political, socio-economic and geopolitical reasons why the American Empire might crumble sooner rather than later, with enormous domestic and global consequences, unless action is taken at every level.

Confronted by troubles at home and rivals abroad, America has its work cut out if it is to endure much longer. Its citizens deserve better - better institutions, greater social harmony, more reliable media, cleaner politicians - and the world yearns for more ethical leadership and less risk of catastrophic conflict. The End of the American Empire examines all these topics with bracing honesty and compassionate concern, seeking to generate healthy debate and necessary change.

Life is messy, parenting is wild and mindfulness isn't what you think.

That’s why Diary of a Mindful Dad is not your average ‘baby book’: it is an adventure.   

If you're about to become a parent, or already in the midst of it, you don't want a textbook. Real life gives no time for techniques or formulas. Instead, this book tells it as it is.  

See what happens when someone who has spent 20 years practising and teaching mindfulness meets the supreme agent of chaos: their own child.

From fertility and pregnancy to the miracle of birth and beyond, Diary of a Mindful Dad invites you along for the ride in real time, capturing the highs, lows and everything in between. The result is a visceral and intimate portrait of what it's really like to try to stay ‘present’ when a tiny, helpless version of yourself appears in this world and you need to take care of it.  

Prepare yourself to be shocked, amused, amazed and touched in equal measure.  

They say nothing can prepare you for becoming a parent. Read this book to find out for yourself.
