> The idea is simple: your flinch mechanism can save your life. It shortcircuits the conscious mind and allows you to pull back and avoid danger faster than you can even imagine it’s there.
> But what if danger is exactly what you need?
> What if facing the flinch is the one best way to get what you want?
> Here’s a chance to read the book everyone will be talking about, before they do.

###### [12 Rules for Life An Antidote to Chaos (Unabridged)](https://www.amazon.co.uk/12-Rules-Life-Antidote-Chaos-ebook/dp/B078C6C7QS)
**My Rating: ★★★★☆**
> Acclaimed psychologist Jordan Peterson has become one of the most influential public thinkers to emerge on the world stage for many years, with his lectures on topics from the Bible to romantic relationships to mythology drawing an unprecedented following of tens of millions of viewers. In an era of unprecedented change and polarizing politics, his frank and refreshing message about the value of individual responsibility has resonated powerfully around the world.
###### [Born to run](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Born-Run-Hidden-Ultra-Runners-Greatest/dp/1861978774)
**My Rating: ★★★★☆**
> At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world's top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe's secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long.
###### [The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Subtle-Art-Not-Giving-Counterintuitive/dp/0062457713)
**My Rating: ★★★☆☆**
> In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.

###### [Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time](https://www.amazon.com/Scrum-Doing-Twice-Work-Half/dp/B00NHZ6PPE)
**My Rating: ★★★★☆**
> By the man who helped invent the red-hot management process known as "Scrum", Scrum unveils what is wrong with the way we currently do work, and how a simple set of principles, applied in exactly the right sequence, can accelerate productivity and quality as much as 1,200 percent.
> Scrum (which gets its name from the formation in rugby in which the whole team locks its arms to gain control of the ball) is the reason that Amazon can launch a new feature on its website every day. It's why the Red River Army Depot in Texas was able to roll out armored Humvees 39 times faster than before. It's how the FBI finally created a massive terrorist-tracking database.
