by Ben Rothenberg

A deeply revealing biography of tennis phenomenon Naomi Osaka, which tells the story behind her grand slam-winning career and her advocacy for racial justice and mental health.

‘Naomi Osaka has an incredible inner strength, both on and off the court. She does everything, including speaking out on important social issues, with grace and kindness. Her courage is enormous. She is a trailblazer, a role model and an inspiration.’ Jelena Dokic

‘This riveting book is about race, class, mental health, fame and what it really takes to make a world champion.’ Magda Szubanski 

 

The Buddhist and the Ethicist: Conversations on Effective Altruism, Engaged Buddhism, and How to Build a Better World
by Peter Singer and Shih Chao-Hwei

Eastern spirituality and utilitarian philosophy meet in these unique dialogues between a Buddhist monastic and a moral philosopher. Together, these two deep thinkers explore the foundation of ethics and key Buddhist concepts, and ultimately reveal how we can all move towards making the world a better place.
