The Thirst by Jo Nesbo

A revolutionary system to get 1 per cent better every day.


People think when you want to change your life, you need to think big.
But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions - doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes earlier, or reading just one more page.
He calls them atomic habits.


In this ground-breaking book, Clear reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.
These small changes will have a transformative effect on your career, your relationships and your life.

A WANTED MAN

'Fascinating, staggeringly confident
Sunday Times
When you're as big and rough as Jack Reacher - and you have a badly set, freshly busted nose - it isn't easy to hitch a ride.
At last, he's picked up by three strangers - two men and a woman.
Within minutes it becomes clear they're all lying about everything - and there's a police roadblock ahead. There has been an incident, and the cops are looking for the bad guys..
Will they get through because the three are innocent? Or because they are now four? Is Reacher just a decoy?
It's said that a Jack Reather novel is bought every four seconds somewhere in the world.
