Here are our favourite newly published health and wellbeing titles |

The Health Fix
Dr Ayan Panja
Starting with the experience of his own illness, Dr Ayan Panja, NHS GP and lifestyle medicine expert, brings a unique personalised framework to tailor targeted lifestyle-based interventions to you, with his book. Unlike many approaches to health and wellbeing, 'The Health Fix' focuses on the 'why' rather than just the 'what' with a toolkit.

Just One Thing
Michael Mosley
Based on the popular BBC podcast Just One Thing, this book brings to life Dr Mosley's idea of changing one small thing in your routine to greatly benefit your health. We all want quick and easy ways to improve our health, but when it comes to diet, fitness and wellbeing it can be hard to sift the fads from the facts. In Just One Thing, Dr Michael Mosley helps you with this and provides many more scientifically proven facts that will make you say, 'No way!'

Happy Mind, Happy Life
Dr Rangan Chatterjee
During his 20 years as a GP, Dr Rangan Chatterjee has seen first-hand how motivation isn't always enough for us to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It's only when we learn how to support our own mental wellbeing and cultivate core happiness that these choices become easy. In his latest book, Dr Chatterjee shares cutting-edge insights into the science of happiness and reveals 10 simple ways to put you back in control of your health. It features real-life case studies and over 20 practical exercises.
