As in previous years, the Grammar Factory team had the pleasure of working with an amazing group of entrepreneurs and business leaders who are making a splash in their respective areas of expertise. They have immense knowledge and expertise to share, and we're honoured to be able to publish their books and help them further build their authority and grow their business. I'm thrilled to showcase the books we've published in 2020 and encourage you to add one or two (or all of them!) to your 2020 reading list.

Bunkie Life Extra Space by David Fraser
Create a Beautiful Space for More Time and Connection with Your Family
If you think the Bunkie Life is just about bunkies, you've already missed the point.
Many of us say we put our loved ones first, but often our actions and attitudes don't reflect that.
In Bunkie Life Extra Space, you'll not only learn how to build a bunkie and a Bunkie Life of your own, you'll learn how important creating that space and time for family really is. You'll also discover how, until we reach the point where we can truly say "Family First", we'll never experience the true depth and joy life has to offer.
That "Family First" belief in space for meaningful connection is at the heart of the Bunkie Life community.
In Bunkie Life Extra Space, David Fraser shares his own family's story of tragedy, connection, and, ultimately, restoration as well as heart-warming stories and awe-inspiring photos from Bunkie Lifers who are experiencing more of what's most important in life.
If you've ever felt the need for extra space and more connection with the ones you love, Bunkie Life Extra Space is for you - just as the Bunkie Life itself may be.
Fit for Disruption by Matthew Webber
How to transform your business and thrive in times of rapid change
The world is changing at a rapid rate.
It's throwing up an endless supply of opportunities – and risks.
In other words, it is disruptive.
How does a business survive, and indeed thrive, in the midst of this disruption?
By embracing the disruption and providing the direction and environment that helps make the most of the opportunities it creates. Leaders can transform their business and thrive in times of rapid change by applying the three attributes of the Fit for Disruption model:
When leaders build their business on these three attributes, they will not only navigate the storms of disruption, but begin to create their own opportunities and become the disruptors of the future.
From Surviving to Thriving by Lotus Ellis
A Blueprint for Healthy Living
Do you ever wonder why you feel like rubbish?
Are you too busy to question what you're putting in your body?
Everyone deserves to know the truth...whether it's about the value of avocado oil (good fat is good for you!) or the true impact of too much processed food.
Forget the fad diets and unhealthy weight-loss products being pushed by influencers and media personalities. Rather than trusting a trendy diet to change things, this book encourages you to make a series of gradual changes to your lifestyle.
First leading the reader through an understanding of what all the different foods do to the body and why, then putting them all together in delicious recipes that you'll look forward to eating and drinking, author Lotus Ellis boils it all down to create a blueprint that cuts through the misinformation and reduces the overwhelm that comes with making healthy changes to your lifestyle and mindset.
Threaded through with powerful stories and real-life case studies from some amazing people who have created their own vitality story using the guidance offered in this book, From Surviving to Thriving proves that a long and healthy life is in the hands of each and every one of us.
With a career in nutrition, wellness and fitness spanning two decades, Lotus has come to believe that living a healthy and happy life means taking a holistic approach to wellness in order to lower inflammation and boost the immune system. Living in Costa Rica and witnessing how the Blue Zone centenarians live and what they eat has inspired a book to help people go from surviving to thriving by making minor lifestyle changes that will promote vitality and longevity.
