Bloomsbury has announced a wide-ranging new line-up of non-fiction titles, bringing together voices from public policy, business, psychology and contemporary living. The list reflects a strong mix of India-focused analysis and globally relevant themes, aimed at readers navigating both structural change and personal growth.
At the forefront is Explanation and Commentary on Budget 2026–2027 by former finance and economic affairs secretary Subhash Chandra Garg. Framed as a “masterclass” on the Union Budget, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the latest budget while also assessing the implementation and outcomes of the previous two fiscal cycles. Drawing on Garg’s experience within government, it positions itself as a comprehensive guide to India’s fiscal direction and policy thinking.
In the business and startup space, The Founder Within by Indraveer Singh turns inward, focusing on the mindset of entrepreneurs rather than just market strategy. Aimed at founders and aspiring builders, the book argues that enduring ventures are shaped fundamentally by the clarity, discipline and decision-making of those who create them.
Exploring the intersection of food and emotion, The Kitchen Shrink by Andrea Oskis—recognised as a Financial Times Book of the Year—offers a psychological lens on everyday eating habits. It examines how experiences of love, loss and attachment are reflected in what and how we eat, blending cultural observation with personal insight.
Regional dynamics come into focus in The Kerala Club: Keepers of the Flame by K.M. Chandrasekhar and T.P. Sreenivasan. The book provides an insider’s perspective on Kerala’s much-discussed development model, balancing its achievements in human development with ongoing challenges such as economic stagnation, migration pressures and governance complexities.
Adding a lighter, practical dimension to the list is Nobody Wants Your Sht* by Messie Condo, which uses humour and blunt advice to tackle decluttering. Inspired by Swedish death cleaning, it encourages readers to rethink accumulation and organise their lives more intentionally.
Economic urgency is underscored in India Out of Work by Santosh Mehrotra and Jajati K. Parida, which examines India’s employment crisis and the risks of missing its demographic dividend. The book combines data-driven analysis with policy recommendations, arguing for sustained high growth and large-scale job creation.
Rounding out the list is Do the Hard Things First by Scott Allan, a self-help title addressing chronic overthinking. It reframes inaction as a cognitive trap and offers strategies to prioritise execution over endless planning.
With this selection, Bloomsbury’s latest catalogue captures a broad spectrum of concerns—from macroeconomic policy and labour markets to personal habits and emotional well-being—highlighting the publisher’s continued focus on both intellectual depth and accessible, contemporary themes.
