The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present
Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney’s The Lyrics is absolutely fantastic. So honest about his influences and rip-offs. Here, There and Everywhere is his favourite and mine too. A song that starts going one way and goes another and gently shifts like a season.

Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?
Julie Smith
This book is doing so well for a reason. @drjulie distills a lot of sound, backed up, therapeutic wisdom into a format that is accessible and digestible and easy to gulp down...I am sure this book will and already is helping lots of people. Great work, Dr Julie Smith.

Winnie-The-Pooh
A. A. Milne
A A Milne wrote about Winnie-the-Pooh through shell-shock. Brian Wilson composed 'Don't Worry Baby' while on the verge of a breakdown. Cynicism is the luxury of the well. When you have been to the edge, when you feel the dark around you, you head to the light, the calm, the soft.
