I'm glad I could be of assistance' LAWRENCE 'Essential reading' JARVIS COCKER '****' MOJO 'One of the best music books I've ever clapped eyes on' MARC RILEY '10/10 - An extraordinarily empathetic study' UNCUT 'Magnificent' SPECTATOR Guardian Book of the Day A Foyles Top Ten Read for September Lawrence is the greatest pop star who never made it, his dreams of glory thwarted over the past five decades by bad luck and self-sabotage. At sixty-one, he set off on a new mission: to escape poverty, obscurity and the humiliation of kids at the bus stop laughing at him by writing a smash hit. But what is the cost of a dream? In 1980, Lawrence formed Felt, who released ten albums and ten singles in ten years before splitting up. In 1991, he reinvented himself with novelty-pop outfit Denim. Signed to EMI, riding the wave of Britpop, in 1997, Denim's song 'Summer Smash' became Radio 1's Single of the Week and looked like a sure-fire hit. Then Princess Diana was killed in a car crash. All copies were melted down. Crushing depression, addiction and homelessness followed... but in the face of it all, Lawrence never gave up. In Street-Level Superstar, bestselling author and journalist Will Hodgkinson follows Lawrence as he rebuilds his life. He gets mistaken for an old lady by an amorous pensioner, is reduced to dragging sacks of 2p coins to his local bank and wanders through London's distant suburbs in search of lyrical inspiration. As they walk together down rain-soaked streets, Will tells the story of Britain's most eccentric cult star. Will he write the greatest song the world has ever known before the year is out? And was it worth sacrificing everything - family, relationships, health, sanity - for art?

Book excerpt: Sam Glass wants to go far. But not up the career ladder. Sam wants to go to Antarctica. Sam is a slave to his pager.

At twenty-five, he's stuck in a rut of post-university, first-job existence. And he hates it. When he notices an advert for a research job in Antarctica, Sam is galvanised into action- this magical land of snow, ice and utter serenity represents the ultimate escape. While he and his best friend, Henry, endure the gruelling selection procedure, he embarks on both the destruction of his ordered, career-orientated, tidy life, and a string of well-organised, casual affairs. What Sam doesn't bargain for, however, is falling in love. Lively, funny and incredibly perceptive, Take One Young Manis a profoundly intelligent and moving novel.

Book excerpt: You are unique, not despite your circumstances but because of them! Miriam Grunhaus shares how the Japanese art of Kintsugi - the art of mending broken pottery with lacquer and gold, catapulted her onto a healing path after her own irreparable heartbreak. For two years, she interviewed "Thrivers," women who had faced tremendous and varied adversity, to learn the commonalities of their journeys from despair and brokenness to healing and wholeness. From those interviews, Miriam gleaned Ten Golden Nuggets, which are essential to uncovering joy in adversity. Miriam's heart is healed, and she offers this book to provide the resilience tools you need to traverse valleys of life and rise up on mountains of joy. You should read Heal with Gold if: - You have felt broken by your experiences - You are still healing from adversity - You are ready to do the work to become more joyful - You want to become more resilient to face any adversities life may bring in a more productive manner There is no way around pain and suffering; it is as much a part of life as happiness and joy. How we react to our adversities is something we can control. If the goal is to rebound faster from life's punches and use our gained wisdom for a good purpose, you will benefit from this reading. Miriam's Story After going through many ups and downs throughout her journey, life brought her to her knees when she experienced a loss of the living. Not knowing how to overcome the deep pain, she went on a journey of self-discovery, interviewing women who had gone through deep pain and sorrow but were thriving. These women consider themselves joyful; they are not hiding in shame. Quite the contrary, they are vocal and sharing their experiences for the benefit of others. Miriam wanted to find out: Is there joy after feeling broken beyond repair? Is resilience something that can be learned, or are the women who overcame innately resilient? Is there something in common between the women who are thriving? Pick up your copy of Heal with Gold and build your resilience arsenal to overcome any adversity life may bring because it is not a matter of if adversity will strike, but when. Live a Kintsugi life, and you will live a joyful one. Available in harcover, paperback and Kindle.
