Lydia Yadi

Senior Commissioning Editor

I commission business, smart-thinking and personal development books across the Penguin Business and Penguin Life imprints. For Penguin Business, I’m interested in business exposés and investigative journalism, memoir and biography, careers advice and books on productivity, creativity and success. My authors include Oliver Shah, Marie Forleo, Cal Newport, Gregory Zuckerman, Marshall Goldsmith, Sarah Ellis and Helen Tupper. For Penguin Life, I’m interested in behavioural science, psychology and physical health. I created and launched the Penguin Life Experts series, short books that offer authoritative information and practical advice on managing specific health conditions, including the No 1 Sunday Times bestseller Preparing for the Perimenopause and Menopause by Dr Louise Newson.
