Trust in our politicians is at an all-time low. We're in a "post-truth" era, where feelings trump facts, and where brazen rhetoric beats honesty. But do politicians lie more than they used to? And do we even want them to tell the truth? In a history full of wit and political acumen, Private Eye journalist Adam Macqueen dissects the gripping stories of the biggest political lies of the last half century, from the Profumo affair to Blair's WMDs to Boris Johnson's £350 million for the NHS. Covering lesser known whoppers, infamous lies from foreign shores ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman"), and some of the resolute untruths from Donald Trump's explosive presidential campaign, this is the quintessential guide to dishonesty from our leaders - and the often pernicious relationship between parliament and the media. But this book is also so much more. It explains how in the space of a lifetime we have gone from the implicit assumption that our rulers have our best interests at heart, to assuming the worst even when - in the majority of cases - politicians are actually doing their best.

Analysis paralysis keeps intelligent, capable people trapped in endless research, planning, and second-guessing while opportunities pass and confidence erodes . This book provides a practical framework for recognizing when analysis becomes avoidance, making decisions with incomplete information, and taking action despite uncertainty or fear of making the wrong choice . Readers will learn why overthinking feels productive but actually increases anxiety and decreases decision quality, how perfectionism and fear of regret fuel paralysis, and how to distinguish between decisions that deserve deep analysis and those that simply need movement . It covers essential strategies including setting decision deadlines to prevent endless deliberation, using decision matrices for complex choices without overcomplicating simple ones, embracing reversible decisions as experiments rather than permanent commitments, and building confidence through small actions that prove you can handle outcomes . Through decision-making templates, cognitive reframing exercises, and real stories from recovered overthinkers, you will understand how to quiet the voice demanding more research, trust your intuition alongside logic, and measure success by forward momentum rather than flawless execution . This is not about being reckless or impulsive—it is about reclaiming your ability to move through life with reasonable confidence instead of getting stuck at every crossroads .

"Wilson's plot hits all the right beats…Devotees of cosmic horror will enjoy this woman-centered take on familiar tropes." -Publisher's Weekly If ye give not willingly, the Lords will rise… In 1913, Henry Hamilton disappears while on a business trip, and his sister, Sorrow, won't rest until she finds him. Defying her father's orders to remain at home, she travels to Tidepool, the last place Henry visited. Residents of the small, shabby oceanside town can't quite meet Sorrow's eyes when she questions them about Henry. When corpses wash up on shore looking as if they've been torn apart by something not quite human, Sorrow is ready to return to Baltimore and let her father send in the professional detectives. Then, she meets Mrs. Ada Oliver, a widow whose black silk dresses and elegant manners set her apart from other Tidepool residents. After a terrifying encounter involving Mrs. Oliver, Sorrow discovers Tidepool's dark, deadly secret, and the town's denizens—human and otherwise—are hell bent on making sure she never leaves. Atmospheric, riveting, and frightening, Tidepool is a must read Lovecraftian dark fantasy for those who pursue the truth no matter the personal cost. "Richly dark and enthralling!" --Verified Reviewer "The creeping dread of Lovecraftian horror by way of American Horror Story - Tidepool will ensure you never look at the ocean the same way again!" --Peter McLean, author of War for the Rose Throne Series "Part Thomas Ligotti, part Penny Dreadful, Tidepool, is a novel about the gravitational forces of fate, pulling characters in against their will, with readers only able to sit and watch the catastrophe unfold. This is the compelling force of all great horror, to hope for rescue even when we know it will not come, to want to escape even as we turn the next page. Willson wields a deft hand of darkness and humanity in this compelling debut." -- Jaye Viner, author of Jane of Battery Park

A hilarious, real-life comedy about pensioners going in search of love - from the sublime to the downright saucy. Maureen is a pensioner in search of passion. After 33 blind dates, 12 cruises and one broken heart, she is still determined to find Mr Right. But when best friend Margaret beats her to the altar, Maureen has her doubts - is Margaret just on the rebound and, more importantly, will she lose her pension? Alecky Blythe's verbatim theatre play Cruising was first staged at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2006 in a co-production with Recorded Delivery, using an innovative verbatim-theatre technique. The technique consists of recording interviews with real people, editing them and replicating them on stage in all their uncanny verisimilitude. The result is both disconcertingly comic and profoundly moving, as all the individual peculiarities of the 'characters' are scrupulously reproduced.

"I like ecstasy of the mind". Eines der Leitmotive bei Jack Kerouac - wie den Beats - ist der Wahn, die Verrücktheit, die Halluzination. Ein gutes Gedächtnis und ausgefeilte Beobachtungsgabe befähigen Kerouac zum Schreiben über tatsächliche Begebenheiten mit wahren Menschen: Plots im traditionellen Sinne gibt es nicht, die Protagonisten machen auch keine Entwicklung durch, weshalb man Kerouac bei der verbissenen Übereinstimmung von Fakt und Fiktion auch weniger als Literaten denn als Faktualisten bezeichnet. Die Story ereignet sich in der Form von Blitzen, Blinken, Flashes; vergleichbar den Jazzern der Zeit, Coltrane oder Parker, die sich auch stets auf der Suche nach neuen Klängen befanden. Die Momente zählen, bei denen sich Visionen großartigen Ausdrucks ins Gehirn prasseln, tosen, donnern, toben... Kerouac führt in neue Haltungskategorien, läßt die Idee der offenen Räume entstehen mit ihrer Assoziation des Unverdorbenen, Eigentlichen, Direkten, die im klassischen Vorbild Huck Finn veranlaßt hatte "to light out for the territory".

The Comedy of Errors - William Shakespeare - The Comedy of Errors is one of William Shakespeare's early plays. It is his shortest and one of his most farcical comedies, with a major part of the humour coming from slapstick and mistaken identity, in addition to puns and word play. The Comedy of Errors is, along with The Tempest, one of only two Shakespeare plays to observe the Aristotelian principle of unity of time—that is, that the events of a play should occur over 24 hours. It has been adapted for opera, stage, screen and musical theatre numerous times worldwide. In the centuries following its premiere, the play's title has entered the popular English lexicon as an idiom for "an event or series of events made ridiculous by the number of errors that were made throughout". Set in the Greek city of Ephesus, The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins who were accidentally separated at birth. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins, a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities lead to wrongful beatings, a near-seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and false accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession. Because a law forbids merchants from Syracuse to enter Ephesus, elderly Syracusian trader Egeon faces execution when he is discovered in the city. He can only escape by paying a fine of a thousand marks. He tells his sad story to Solinus, Duke of Ephesus. In his youth, Egeon married and had twin sons. On the same day, a poor woman without a job also gave birth to twin boys, and he purchased these as slaves to his sons. Soon afterward, the family made a sea voyage and was hit by a tempest. Egeon lashed himself to the main-mast with one son and one slave, and his wife took the other two infants. His wife was rescued by one boat, Egeon by another. Egeon never again saw his wife or the children with her. Recently his son Antipholus, now grown, and his son's slave Dromio left Syracuse to find their brothers. When Antipholus did not return, Egeon set out in search of him. The Duke is moved by this story and grants Egeon one day to pay his fine. That same day, Antipholus arrives in Ephesus, searching for his brother. He sends Dromio to deposit some money at The Centaur, an inn. He is confounded when the identical Dromio of Ephesus appears almost immediately, denying any knowledge of the money and asking him home to dinner, where his wife is waiting. Antipholus, thinking his servant is making insubordinate jokes, beats Dromio of Ephesus. Dromio of Ephesus returns to his mistress, Adriana, saying that her "husband" refused to come back to his house, and even pretended not to know her. Adriana, concerned that her husband's eye is straying, takes this news as con...
