All Women Want: An Intimate Look Inside Women's Love Lives And Pursuits Of Pleasure, For Readers Of Three Women, Come As You Are And Want
$35.99
All Women Want: An Intimate Look Inside Women'S Love Lives And Pursuits Of Pleasure, For Readers Of Three Women, Come As You Are And Want The truth about why straight women aren't satisfied in the bedroom – and what to do about itLonglisted for the 2025 Walkley AwardPleasure should be a simple thing, but straight women are at the statistical bottom of the pile when it comes to finding a happy ending. There's a name for this phenomenon: it's called the pleasure gap. And when tracked against other gains in women's freedom, like pay or education, it is still alarmingly wide.All Women Want is about that gap, the methods women use to try to bridge it (spoiler: they don't always want to do it solo), and why physical pleasure might be a final frontier for gender equality. Written with candour, wit, and insights from over 130 interviews and 'field reports', Alyx Gorman's probing investigation shows sex as it really is, not as we think it should be. Free from the moralising, marketing and misinformation women are fed, it's a groundbreaking book that will educate, illuminate and, above all, satisfy.PRAISE'Alyx Gorman's state of the union on female pleasure is also an impassioned and galvanising rally-cry against mediocre sex. Riveting, compassionate, brilliantly researched and honkingly funny, reading this will feel like the best late-night conversation you can have with a smart and sex-positive friend. I suspect women will feel empowered and consoled; men will feel cared-for and educated. In other words, a win-win, as every sexual exchange should be' Benjamin Law, award-winning writer and broadcaster'All Women Want is a pleasurable guide to navigating pleasure industries: this book tells you how' Dr Hilary Caldwell, sexologist, scholar, sex worker and author of Slutdom: Reclaiming Shame-free Sexuality'Gorman's unflinching examination of the "orgasm gap" – the fact that women are missing out in the pleasure stakes – is the sex education you didn't know you needed. Essential reading for women who want more; even more essential for the men between the sheets with them. A fabulous and ultimately hopeful lesson in the principles of pleasure' Stephanie Wood, award-winning journalist and author of Fake'Hot. A libidinous read on coming out a winner in the sexual wellness revolution' Brigid Delaney, author of Wellmania and Reasons Not to Worry

On Loneliness
$39.99
It’s easy to feel that we are alone in feeling alone. Not only do we suffer, but we also destroy our self-confidence with repeated convictions that we are the only ones who are so confused and at sea, the only ones without a partner and who will be alone (again) on Saturday night. This transformative book examines loneliness through fifty heartfelt interviews and captivating portraits by the talented photographer Julia Hawkins. We hear from a diverse array of individuals whose lives have been shaped by isolation – those who feel invisible, misunderstood and alienated, as well as those who have found unexpected paths to understanding and connection. We are left feeling enlightened and consoled that we are not unique in our solitude; indeed, it’s the most universal of emotions. And so, we have every reason to hold out a hand to our similarly complicated, kind and lonely neighbours. This is a book for anyone who has ever felt alone – that is, for anyone who has ever been human.

Day by day and hour by hour, they witnessed what happens to the body and spirit as death approaches and finally arrives.'By the end I was left shaken, deeply moved' Christos Tsiolkas'This book will be a lifeline for so many people' Sean Hewitt'To read this book is a privilege, a gift on the craft of dying' Amy Key

Notes On Being A Man
$36.99
Notes On Being A ManBestselling author, NYU professor, and cohost of the Pivot podcast, Scott Galloway offers a path forward for men and parents of boys.Boys and men are in crisis. Rarely has a cohort fallen further and faster than young men living in Western democracies. Boys are less likely to graduate from high school or college than girls. One in seven men reports having no friends, and men account for three of every four deaths of despair in America. Even worse, the lack of attention to these problems has created a void filled by voices espousing misogyny, the demonization of others, and a toxic vision of masculinity. But this is not just a male issue: women and children can’t flourish if men aren’t doing well. As we know from spasms of violence, there is nothing more dangerous than a lonely, broke young man.Scott Galloway has been sounding the alarm on this issue for years. In Notes on Being a Man, Galloway explores what it means to be a man in modern America. He promotes the importance of healthy masculinity and mental strength. He shares his own story from boyhood to manhood. He explores his parent’s difficult divorce, working through his anger and depression issues, trying to make money, and raising two boys. He shares the sometimes funny, often painful, lessons he learned along the way.Some of these lessons include: - Being a good dad means being good to their mother.- Action absorbs anxiety.- Find what you’re good at—follow your talent.- Get out of the house.- Take risk and be willing to feel like an imposter. This is a key to professional success—and masculinity.- Acknowledge your blessings—and create opportunities for others. Be of surplus value.- Be kind. That’s the secret to success in relationships.With unflinching honesty, Scott Galloway maps out an enriching, inspiring operator’s manual for being a man today.
