A Bit of a Stretch
A Bit of a Stretch: Welcome to Her Majesty's Prison Service. Like most people, documentary-maker Chris Atkins didn't spend much time thinking about prisons. But after becoming embroiled in a dodgy scheme to fund his latest film, he was sent down for five years. His new home would be HMP Wandsworth, one of the largest and most dysfunctional prisons in Europe. This book offers a gripping, candid account of life inside, along with insights about risk, consequences, and resilience that stay with you long after the cover is closed.

Range
Range: You may have been taught that success in any field requires early specialization, and 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. If you only dabble or delay, you'll never catch up with those who got a head start. This is completely wrong. In this landmark book, David Epstein shows you that the way to succeed is by sampling widely, gaining a breadth of experiences, taking detours, experimenting relentlessly and juggling many interests. A thought-provoking, evidence-based argument that reframes how we think about learning, skill-building, and mastery in a fast-changing world.

The One Thing
