3 Book Recommendations for Your Summer Holiday

Summer days at the beach, soaking up the sunshine, and listening to the waves gently roll in are well and truly upon us.

After the intensity that 2025 has brought it feels like the perfect moment to soften into a slower pace. To put our phones away, step out of autopilot and savour the simple joy of being present.

If you’re ready to swap scrolling for something more nourishing, we’ve curated three books to enjoy this summer:

• Atomic Habits – James Clear

A globally loved classic for a reason. This book breaks down how small, consistent changes can lead to remarkable transformations. Clear’s approach is practical, actionable and surprisingly gentle – perfect for anyone wanting to reset their routines or step into the new year with intention.

• The Paris Gown – Christine Wells

The ideal holiday escape. Set between fashion, history and self-discovery, this novel invites you into a world of courage, intuition and following your dreams. Emotional, uplifting and beautifully told, it’s one of those books you finish feeling a little braver.

• Technogym: The Art of Wellness – Assouline

For the design lover or wellness devotee, this stunning table book explores the story behind Technogym’s founder Nerio Alessandri, who launched a new vision of wellness from his garage at just twenty-two. Grounded in the Italian philosophy of “a healthy mind in a healthy body,” it’s a celebration of innovation, wellbeing and the evolution of modern movement culture.

Happy reading and even happier unwinding.

May your summer be slow, sun-drenched and filled with stories that inspire.
