Bruselský diktát aneb co školy o EU neučí, 2. vydání
Od autorů nejúspěšnějšího českého podcastu o Evropské unii Bruselský diktát přichází kniha, která dělá něco, co v české knižní produkci o EU prakticky neexistuje. Vypráví příběh. Příběh dvou set let evropské historie, která vyústila v Evropskou unii, jak ji známe dnes. A přitom to dělá tak, že u toho čtenář nezavře oči po třiceti stranách a usmívá se od začátku dokonce.
Kniha má dvě části. V první autoři vyprávějí, jak Evropa za dvě stě let prošla cestu od napoleonských válek přes dvě světové války až k dnešní unii dvaceti sedmi států. Bez memorování dat, bez seznamu smluv, ale s historickým nadhledem. V druhé části vás zavedou do bruselského zákulisí. Kde se rozhoduje, kdo tahá za nitky a proč naši politici v Bruselu odhlasují něco, na co pak doma nadávají.
Ondřej Houska strávil pět let jako zpravodaj v Bruselu, má doktorát z historie a dnes je redaktorem Hospodářských novin. Michal Půr je dvacetiletý mediální veterán, pět let působil jako zpravodaj ČTK v Bruselu, dnes patří k nejvlivnějším českým podcasterům. Houska přidává historický kontext a věcnou přesnost, Půr lidovou vypravěčskou energii.
Kniha sama o sobě říká, že je „chronologicky pokroucený, subjektivně vyprávěný a stylově ne úplně slušný pohled na evropskou historii." Autoři se netváří, že EU je bezchybná, ale ani že je to „tyranský levičácký moloch s přetlakem genderových komisí." Mezi tím leží reálná Evropa, kterou autoři vyprávějí s humorem, nadhledem a respektem k faktům.

WHEN ALL IS LOST, HOW DO WE FIND OUR WAY HOME?
Seven years later, Jane and Kenji collide again - and find that the past is not as easily laid to rest as they thought.
A decade-long story of home and belonging, destruction and renewal, betrayal and forgiveness, Everything to the Sea is an unforgettable love story - about what it means to rebuild a life worthy of what was lost.
Aristotles Guide to Self-Persuasion
Show yourself who's in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun-from the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing
Rhetoric once sat at the centre of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, Jr. used it to build empires, write deathless literature and inspire democracies. Here, Heinrichs shows us how these persuasive tools, honed over more than three thousand years of use persuading others, can be turned on our most difficult audiences - ourselves. Using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by some of history's most persuasive characters, we see how rhetoric can convert the gloomiest of situations into positive ones.
Illustrated with examples from history and pop culture - Winston Churchill, Iron Man, Dolly Parton, and the woman who serendipitously invented the chocolate chip cookie - Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion tests the tools of self-persuasion and asks: Can the same techniques that seduce lovers, sell diet books and overturn governments help us achieve our most desired goals?
Filled with entertaining and scientific studies that showcase the life-changing power of language, Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion will teach you how to be the most successful person you can be, just by talking to yourself.
