Some books arrive at exactly the right moment. This monsoon, The Bombay Circle Press brings you four new acquisitions that between them cover leadership, money, the human mind and the messy, magnificent terrain of modern womanhood. There’s something here for every kind of reader.
Bend, Don’t Break
AI is reshaping jobs. Teams are being reinvented overnight, and entire industries are shifting faster than most of us can catch our breath. The new competitive edge isn’t expertise, it’s adaptability. Packed with exercises and challenges, Bend, Don’t Break helps professionals, leaders and teams flex with change instead of snapping under it. Whether you are leading through uncertainty, shifting roles or simply trying to stay relevant, Matt A. West will help you meet the future with confidence, clarity and purpose. Originally published by Girl Friday Books, through Dropcap, now acquired by The Bombay Circle Press.
Matt A. West is a leadership coach, facilitator, trainer, speaker, and consultant who has spent over two decades helping people and organisations grow stronger in times of change. His work has taken him inside some of the world’s most recognizable organisations, including Walmart, Facebook, Adobe, McDonald’s, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft Foods, PepsiCo, Cisco and Kaiser Permanente.
How to Raise Rich Kids
We all want our children to lead “rich” lives. Lives that are full of choices, opportunities, and freedom. But many of us find the world of finance confusing, and have money habits that are hard to break. How to Raise Rich Kids, published in India by arrangement with Pantera Press, is a practical guide to building generational wealth without needing a high income, through tips, strategies, and real-life case studies.
Sarah Megginson knows this feeling well. As both a mother and a highly respected personal finance expert, she’s on a mission to teach her kids everything she knows about money: how to manage it, how to make more of it, and most importantly how to enjoy it.
Deep Human
How do you thrive in a world of rapid change? Authors Crystal Lim-Lange and Dr Gregor Lim-Lange combine their expertise in leadership and psychology to share five timeless superskills that will help you unlock your fullest potential: focus and mindfulness, self-awareness, empathy, complex communication and adaptive resilience. This newly updated edition features a fresh note from the authors on the rise of artificial intelligence, digital overwhelm and the growing mental health crisis. Acquired from Epigram Books by The Bombay Circle Press.
Crystal Lim-Lange is the CEO of Forest Wolf and a thought leader in leadership and personal growth. She advises over 260,000 followers and leads large-scale cultural change initiatives. Dr Gregor Lim-Lange is the co-founder and chief psychologist of Forest Wolf. He is an expert in clinical and positive psychology, social-emotional intelligence and mindfulness, and was previously Head of Learning & Development at the NUS Centre for Future-ready Graduates and a senior lecturer in the university’s psychology department.
The Wilderness
An era-defining novel about four Black women and the twenty years of friendship that carry them from young adulthood into midlife, The Wilderness follows Desiree, January, Monique, and Nakia as they navigate careers, marriage, motherhood, and big-city life in New York and Los Angeles. Together, they find their way through “the wilderness”: that overwhelming, mysterious stretch of adulthood filled with both freedom and consequence. As they grapple with estrangement, complicated relationships, unplanned pregnancy, online fame, family expectations, and the challenges of building a life on their own terms, their friendship becomes an anchor through the uncertainty of growing up.
Spanning the late 2000s to the late 2020s, the novel explores what it means to grow from young women into grown ones against a backdrop of political upheaval, economic and environmental instability, and the growing unpredictability of modern American life. Now acquired by The Bombay Circle Press from VERVE Books, The Wilderness is written by Angela Flournoy, whose debut novel, The Turner House, was a finalist for the National Book Award and won the VCU Cabell First Novel Prize.
All four titles will be available through The Bombay Circle Press. Whether you’re curled up indoors or waiting out the rain, we hope one of these finds its way into your hands. Follow our bulletin, there’s plenty more to come!
