Robin Dunbar is the world-renowned psychologist and author who famously discovered Dunbar's number: how our capacity for friendship is limited to around 150 people. In Friends, he looks at friendship in the round, at the way different types of friendship and family relationships intersect, or at the complex of psychological and behavioural mechanisms that underpin friendships and make them possible - and just how complicated the business of making and keeping friends actually is.

Modern life is full of minor but acute dilemmas: we get stuck at a gathering with someone unusually boring and wonder how to move on without causing offence; in the course of introducing one friend to another, we realise that we have forgotten one of the party’s names; we run into an ex while on an early date with a new partner; we spill red wine across a host’s sofa...

Most men are trying to impress women. High-value men don’t. They screen, select, and lead—and women feel it instantly. The Prizing Playbook breaks down the exact behaviors that flip attraction from you chasing her… to her chasing you—without gimmicks, pickup lines, or pretending to be someone you’re not. This isn’t about acting aloof. It’s about becoming a man whose time, attention, and commitment are earned.

We all have that moment when something feels off - a coworker twisting your words, a boss claiming your work, or a teammate smiling while quietly sabotaging you. You try to stay professional, tell yourself you’re overthinking, yet you know someone is shaping outcomes you can’t see while you pay the price. You keep pushing, hoping effort will beat politics, but it doesn’t because manipulators win by playing a hidden game with rules you were never told.

The Sane Society is a continuation and extension of the brilliant psychiatric concepts Erich Fromm first formulated in Escape from Freedom; it is also, in many ways, an answer to Freud’s Civilization and its Discontents. Fromm examines man’s escape into over conformity and the danger of robotism in contemporary industrial society: Modern humanity has, he maintains, been alienated from the world of their own creation. Here Fromm offers a complete and systematic exploration of his “humanistic psychoanalysis.”

Over the next few years, Gold saw a number of patients suffering from what he and his brother, Dr. Ian Gold, began calling the "Truman Show Delusion," launching them on a quest to understand the nature of this particular phenomenon and the nature of madness itself.
