Reading List

All our training sessions include their own specific, relevant booklist. But here are other books that we love, and that inspire our work.

• Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass - Lewis Carroll.
A quote for every occasion

• The Meaning of Liff - Douglas Adams and John Lloyd.
A really handy book when you’ve got to find a word for one of those everyday things that just don’t seem to have a name.

• Broken Biscuits - Liz Kettle’s best (well, ok, only) work to date.

• They F*** You Up - Oliver James
A brilliant book about how parenting affects everything. Includes the chance to run an emotional audit on yourself.

• Beyond Fear - Dorothy Rowe
Sheffield and Australia’s finest psychologist explains how to deal with life and death in a compelling book.

• Remains of the Day - Kazuo Ishiguro
Talk about repression and subtext.

• Voluntary but not Amateur - Jacki Reason, Ruth Hayes and Duncan Forbes
Eek, we managed to slip the best book about the sector in…

• Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell
From the 1850 to the post-apocalypse, and packed with tantalising different voices and narratives.

• Oh, the places you'll go! - Dr Seuss
The perfect gentle companion for personal action planning.
