      Van populair weblog naar New York Times-bestseller is dit hét boek voor zelfhulphaters! Stop met altijd maar positief zijn, en leer in plaats daarvan om te gaan met je tekortkomingen en de tegenslagen in het leven. Zodra je niet meer wegrent voor je angsten, fouten en onzekerheden maar de pijnlijke waarheid onder ogen durft te zien, vind je de moed en het zelfvertrouwen waar je in deze tijd zo’n behoefte aan hebt. Mark Manson geeft je de tools om te kiezen waar jij om geeft, en dus ook waar je niet om geeft. Dat idee omarmen werkt bevrijdend. Humoristisch en vol goede grappen, maar bovenal ondersteund door wetenschappelijk onderzoek.

      Deep beneath the English Channel, a small army of vicious terrorists has seized control of the Eurostar to Paris, taken 400 hostages at gunpoint - and declared war on a government that has more than its own fair share of secrets to keep. One man stands in their way. An off-duty SAS soldier is hiding somewhere inside the train. Alone and injured, he's the only chance the passengers and crew have of getting out alive. Meet Andy McNab's explosive new creation, Sergeant Tom Buckingham, as he unleashes a whirlwind of intrigue and retribution in his attempt to stop the terrorists and save everyone on board - including Delphine, the beautiful woman he loves. Hurtling us at breakneck speed between the Regiment's crack assault teams, Whitehall's corridors of power and the heart of the Eurotunnel action, RED NOTICE is McNab at his devastatingly authentic, pulse pounding best. RED NOTICE: You have been warned .

      What's it like to drive a car that's actively trying to kill you? This and many other burning questions trouble Jeremy Clarkson as he sets out to explore the world from the safety of four wheels. Avoiding the legions of power-crazed traffic wombles attempting to block highway and byway, he: shows how the world of performance cars may be likened to Battersea Dog's Home reveals why St Moritz may be the most bonkers town in all of the world reminds us that Switzerland is so afraid of snow that any flakes falling on the road are immediately arrested argues that washing a car is a waste of time Funny, globe-trotting, irreverent and sometimes downright rude, Round the Bend is packed with curious and fascinating but otherwise hopelessly useless stories and facts about everything under the sun (and just occasionally cars). It's Jeremy Clarkson at his brilliant best.

      Wilton Cooper is at a drive-in movie when he notices the ugly white boy walk into the projection booth. Seconds later a gun goes off, perfectly timed to coincide with the movie?s noisy climax. When the boy struts coolly out, blood sprayed on the front of his cheap print shirt, Cooper knows he?s found his partner. King Suckerman weaves the blaxploitation films, the drug deals, the soul music and the racial tensions that defined the ?70?s into a story of natural-born killers and two men who risk everything to bring them down. This is the second novel in the DC Quartet, the most explosive contribution to crime fiction since Ellroy?s LA Quartet.
