Showing anything is possible when determination meets talent, two-time World MotoGP champion Casey Stoner shares his incredible journey from being a Queensland toddler with an extraordinary ability on a motorbike to his decision to retire at 27 with nothing left to prove. For the first time, he tells of his early family life, the development of his riding skills and why his parents decided to sell everything and travel from Australia to Europe to chase the dream and support his aim to become World Champion when he was only 14 years old. As fearless with his opinions as he is on the racetrack, Casey includes all the highs and lows of his life so far: the real reason he left for Europe so young, his thoughts on racing as it stands today, the riders' hierarchy, the politics of racing, the importance of family, his battle with illness and why he decided to turn his back on a multimillion-dollar contract when he was still winning. And he also lets us in on some of the new goals he has set for himself.

When MI5 come to MI6 to ask for help M brings in his best. At first, a weekend abroad seems tempting to James Bond: especially when he's paired with Flicka von Grusse, a gorgeous Swiss intelligence officer. But this is a perilous assignment that starts with the mysterious actor David Dragonpol and leads them to Athens, Milan and on to EuroDisney ...and an explosive climax.
Multimillionaire at 32 Youngest Premier League football club owner at 36 His club and a fortune lost at 42 Owning your childhood club - that's the dream, isn't it? Simon Jordan made his fortune building a mobile phone company from scratch. When he sold it for GBP75 million, he bought Crystal Palace FC, the club he'd supported as a boy, and led them into the Premier League. Ten years later Palace was in administration and Jordan had lost nigh on everything. Be Careful What You Wish For lifts the lid on being the owner of a football club and how the game really works. Hopes and dreams sit alongside greed, self-interest, dodgy transfers, boardroom fights and dressing room dressing downs. Throughout no one is spared, least of all Jordan himself.

From the international bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, with 8 million copies sold worldwide – lessons on harnessing the power of money to live a happier life. Can money buy happiness? Yes. Can spending it make you happier? Absolutely.Yet, many of us struggle to unlock its full potential – either by spending on things that don't bring as much joy as they should, or by avoiding investments that would truly enhance our mental well-being. In The Art of Spending Money, award-winning and global bestselling author Morgan Housel offers a refreshingly practical approach to managing wealth while finding deeper meaning and contentment. Instead of one-size-fits-all financial advice, he unpacks the hidden psychology behind our choices – why we confuse envy with admiration, how expectations shape our satisfaction, and why slow, deliberate wealth-building often leads to the best results.More than just a book about money, The Art of Spending Money explores the emotions, biases, and social forces that drive our financial decisions. With sharp insights and practical takeaways, Housel helps you avoid common spending pitfalls, make smarter financial choices, and use money with intention – to not just build wealth, but to actually enjoy it.
