Pod stejným nebem
Jsou setkání, která člověk neumí vysvětlit. Potká někoho poprvé — a přesto má zvláštní pocit, jako by část toho člověka už dávno znal. Neumí říct proč. Jen ví, že hlas, přítomnost nebo způsob, jakým se ten druhý dívá, v něm něco probudí. Něco známého. Možná jste ten pocit někdy zažili také. Že proti vám stojí někdo, koho vlastně neznáte — a přesto máte pocit, že jeho část už dávno nosíte někde v sobě. Právě z takového okamžiku začíná příběh knihy Pod stejným nebem. Příběh dvou lidí, kteří se narodili pod stejným nebem. Ale každý v jiném světě. V jiné realitě. S jinou minulostí. A přesto mezi nimi vzniklo něco, co se nedalo umlčet. Ne romantická představa. Ale skutečný příběh, ve kterém vedle citu stojí i realita. Rozdílné země. Rozdílné podmínky. Rozhodnutí, která člověk neovlivní. A otázka, jestli některé příběhy přicházejí do života proto, aby tentokrát dostaly jiný konec.
Ne každému se podaří odjet na dovolenou do Turecka, zamilovat se tam do Kurda a pak si ho vzít. Ester Davidová, oblíbená regresní terapeutka a autorka mnoha prodávaných ezoterických knížek, je silná a vášnivá žena, která se nebála najít svou lásku až někde v Turecku. Nebála se podstoupit složité byrokratické peripetie, aby mohla být se svým milovaným a žít s ním v České republice. Její příběh vzbudil rozporuplné diskuze, a proto se rozhodla jej sepsat, ostatně vždycky velmi otevřeně psala o svém životě.
Na knize se podílím, co se týká korektury, a najdete v ní i moje pojednání o symbolice čísla, které tento zamilovaný pár pronásleduje. Kromě otevřené zpovědi Ester a jejího manžela v knize najdete krásné Abdulhalimovy básně.

41
A call for a restoration of professionalism in American government, as illustrated by the life of President George H. W. BushGeorge H. W. Bush is often regarded as the most well-prepared president ever to occupy the Oval Office. Though raised in a world of privilege, Bush was grounded in the belief that character and achievement were essential to serve the common good. In today’s political landscape, these motivations are hardly prided as hallmarks of a great leader—and our nation is experiencing the consequences of these qualities falling out of vogue. Over the course of his education, military service, business career, and decades in public life, Bush absorbed lessons from those around him, shaping a worldview rooted in service, humility, and competence. 41: George H. W. Bush and the End of the American Establishment is not only a study of what Bush learned from mentors and colleagues, but also a reflection on why experience and expertise remain vital to effective presidential leadership. “[George H. W. Bush] gets his due in this brisk, bright, insightful volume.” —Karl Rove, The Wall Street Journal “Bush’s life was defined by his character, friendships, and competitive drive to serve his country. This book explains the wellsprings of that presidential leadership.” —Robert B. Zoellick, Former Secretary of State and White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Author of America in the World: A History of U.S. Diplomacy & Foreign Policy “A timely and inspirational read.” —Jean Becker, Author of The New York Times bestseller The Man I Knew: The Amazing Story of George H.W. Bush’s Post-Presidency “I thought I knew most of what there is to know about President Bush but was proved wrong in reading this book. I highly recommend it.” —David Q. Bates Jr., Former Assistant to the President and Secretary to the Cabinet “Laurence Jurdem has done a remarkable job researching and explaining the origins and influences on George Bush’s life.” —Thomas J. Collamore, Longtime aide and senior government appointee to George H.W. Bush, and currently senior advisor to the George and Barbara Bush Foundation

He recounts the labor activism of his fellow MTA employees, who advocated for better conditions, higher pay, and less institutional racism. He also shares wild stories about the riders he encountered, from a homeless former realtor who worked as a mob frontman to an angry passenger who pulled a gun on him while the train was stuck at a stop signal. Above all, Railroaded will answer many questions about the New York subway system, including how it could be improved.
