Books, Literary Gifts & Lovers of Literature

Discover books that heal, challenge, and inspire. Join the Lovers of Literature community or find meaningful gifts for friends, colleagues, and workplaces.

For Readers

If you are here, you are likely looking for something that feels like a way home to yourself.

Not in a sentimental sense, but in a real one. The DBI Author Family write so that we can help you make sense of your own life, and the lives of the people around you. Friends. Family. Colleagues. People whose struggles and silences you may not always understand.

The books here are chosen and created with that in mind.
They are not designed to distract or impress, although they will, but to offer language for experiences that are often difficult to name.

They exist to support reflection, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the world we are living in, as well as healing through osmosis, also know as narrative therapy and bibliotherapy.

For Sharing With Others

Many people come to these books because they want to give something meaningful.

They are chosen as gifts for those we care about, discussed as key note talks, and gifted to attendees at conferences, and they are also placed in workplaces as part of wellbeing, inclusion, and care strategies.

If you are sourcing books for an organisation, team, school, or event, you can contact us directly. We will help you find the right titles and quantities, and support you with practical details.

Join the Lovers of Literature Community

Alongside the books is the Lovers of Literature Community, a weekly online space for readers, writers, editors, and thinkers.

We read together, discuss authors, and explore philosophical questions that stretch our understanding and challenge our assumptions. It is a place for thoughtful conversation, respectful disagreement, and learning from one another. It is very much an open-minded, respectful place, rather than an echo chamber of woke madness.

You are welcome whether you are a lifelong reader or returning to books after a long time away.

What Is Coming

We are currently building a new retail space where our books and literary gifts will live together in one place. Until then, explore the titles below.

If something here resonates, trust that, because soul always knows.
It may be the beginning of a conversation you did not know you were ready for, but need to have.

So, satisfy your curiosity, make room on your reading shelves, and come join the DBI Lovers of Literature.
