"There are two things I can never escape: Luke and fear. I still feel his hands on me; I still see the rage in his eyes. He said he'd find me. He promised to kill me. I believe him. I cannot escape my reality." When she first spoke these words, my heart froze into a cold, lifeless stone. Even now, these are the words that ring and echo endlessly through my mind. I want to help her, to make her feel safe the way she did before. But with a madman searching endlessly for her and the pressure of his threats still terrorizing her, how can I save her? Is it possible for a stranger to save a stranger?

WITH A FOREWORD BY HRH PRINCE WILLIAM In 2008, twenty year-old Jonny Benjamin stood on Waterloo Bridge, about to jump. A stranger saw his distress and stopped to talk with him - a decision that saved Jonny's life. Fast forward to 2014 and Jonny, together with Rethink Mental Illness launch a campaign with a short video clip so that Jonny could finally thank that stranger who put him on the path to recovery. More than 319 million people around the world followed the search. ITV's breakfast shows picked up the story until the stranger, whose name is Neil Laybourn, was found and - in an emotional and touching moment - the pair re-united and have remained firm friends ever since. The Stranger on the Bridge is a memoir of the journey Jonny made both personally, and publicly to not only find the person who saved his life, but also to explore how he got to the bridge in the first place and how he continues to manage his diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Using extracts from diaries Jonny has been writing from the age of thirteen, this book is a deeply personal memoir with a unique insight on mental health. Jonny was recognised for his work as an influential activist, changing the culture around mental health, when he was awarded an MBE in 2017. He and Neil now work full-time together visiting schools, hospitals, prisons and workplaces to help end the stigma by talking about mental health and suicide prevention. The pair ran the London Marathon together in 2017 in aid of HeadsTogether. Following the global campaign to find the stranger, in 2015 Channel 4 made a documentary of Jonny's search which has now been shown in 14 territories.

Will You Marry Me? What is the most frightening eight letters word? If the question was asked to girls, nine out of ten would have said 'Cockroach'. Wait!!! But that's not an eight letters word. Okay, what is the most frightening word in English? Well, for girls it is probably Cockroach but, for boys, it is definitely Marriage, isn't it? Marriage, is it as scary as it sounds? India, the most versatile and weird (in many ways) country in the world, has many forms of marriage. We have our own ways of doing everything. In fact, we have many ways of doing the same thing across the country and marriage is no exception. Marriage is a serious thing here and it is more difficult to come out of this sacred bond than entering into one. THIS is the reason why everyone is so skeptical and afraid of this institution. The world is moving ahead but we are rather still or slow paced. We don't know if it's good or bad to not let ourselves evolve with time and move on, but Retro is a new cool, right? Read this hilarious romantic tale of how Adi's parents tricked him -their own son- to embark upon one of the oldest adventures called Marriage with a complete stranger, Nupur, for the rest of his life.

Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers and why they often go wrong—now with a new afterword by the author. A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn’t true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland—throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don’t know. And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.
