Skúsenosti hlupáka, ktorý našiel kľúč k úspechu a zbavil sa okuliarov
Kedysi sme do všetkých krajín rozposlali informáciu o našej metóde obnovy zraku. Odpovedali len Japonci, za čo im patrí nesmierna vďaka. Poslali nám takýto list: „Pod vedením jedného sociologického ústavu – aby sme nikoho neurazili, dovoľte nám neuvádzať jeho meno – sme urobili výskum medzi študentmi. Vyše osemdesiat percent prípadov dosiahlo pozitívne výsledky. No v tomto okamihu nie je japonská ekonomika schopná čeliť takejto záťaži...“ Nechápal som, čo s tým má ekonomika? Ďalej nasledovalo vysvetlenie: „... Ak by len desať percent z celkového počtu takmer šesťdesiat miliónov Japoncov so zlým zrakom prestalo nosiť okuliare v dôsledku uzdravenia, zostalo by nevyužitých šesť miliónov okuliarov, čo by bol obrovský úder pre japonskú ekonomiku... a preto si myslíme, že takáto metóda obnovy zraku je pre Japonsko predčasná.“ Pozor, odpoveď! Zákon ekonomiky znie: Nemožno prísť o spotrebiteľa! Ak sa uzdravíte alebo, nedajbože, zomriete, po okuliare si určite nepôjdete. Je to tak! Existuje celá sieť organizácií a štruktúr zainteresovaných vo vašom zlom zraku. Pred pár rokmi, keď sa jeden môj žiak rozhodol otvoriť si svoje vlastné učebné centrum na liečenie zraku, nešťastnou náhodou sa ocitol v susedstve s optikou. Delikátne mu povedali: „Nelezte nám do biznisu. Nekradnite nám zákazníkov!“ Takže môj drahý čitateľ, gratulujem vám, stali ste sa klientom! A ak si myslíte, že niekomu záleží na vašom zdraví, tak sa hlboko mýlite. Je to práve naopak, vďaka vášmu zlému zraku zarábajú výrobcovia liekov a okuliarov obrovské peniaze a pri tom sa tvária, ako sa starajú o vaše zdravie, výzor atď. Neustále vám ponúkajú zmenu vzhľadu, vytvárajú nové trendy, cielene vo vás vyvolávajú potrebu sústavne meniť okuliare. U nás si uzdravilo zrak sto zo sto ľudí. A nebolo to jednoduché. Bolo to véééľmi jednoduché! Môže to vyznieť urážlivo, ale na obnovenie zraku netreba veľa rozumu. Stačí toľko, koľko máte, možno vám aj zostane! Na nahromadenie slín v ústach nestačí hýbať len mozgom!

Šest procházek literárními lesy
V letech 1992 a 1993 Umberta Eca pozvali na Harvardovu univerzitu na šest přednášek o literární teorii. Čekal-li tehdy některý student suchopárný výklad, pamatuje si své překvapení pravděpodobně dodnes. Beletristický text je v Ecově podání lesem, v němž může čtenář rozjímat, nebo se ztratit, chodit po prochozených cestách, nebo si vyšlapat svou vlastní. Eco vyzývá čtenáře, aby se znovu zamysleli nad tím, jak čtou a co od nich text očekává. Na nesčetných příkladech od Tří mušketýrů přes romány o Jamesi Bondovi až po současné detektivky (či porno) ilustruje literární techniky, kterými texty dosahují svých cílů, roli, kterou v nich hraje čas, či míru, do jaké fikce parazituje na realitě a naopak. Vzhledem ke své nadčasovosti má Šest procházek literárními lesy čtenáři dozajista co říct i po třiceti letech.

Pásavec, zajac a syrový sendvič 1.
Známy britský autor detskej literatúry Jeremy Strong má na konte už vyše 100 kníh a získal mnoho literárnych ocenení.
Postavy prvej časti jeho série sú síce zvieratá, ale majú ľudské vlastnosti a správajú sa ako ľudia. Pásavec a Zajac, ktorí žijú v domčeku na okraji Veľkého lesa a sú pravým opakom jeden druhého. Pásavec je zavalitý hundroš, má rád tučné syry, chodí v starom vyťahanom svetri, na ktorom si zakaždým zapne gombíky. Zajac je štíhly fičúr a športovec so šálom okolo krku, rád chrúma mrkvu a hrá na tube. V lese býva aj veľa iných zvierat - žirafa, jaguár, vombat, pakobylka, slon či korytnačka. Vtipné príbehy z ich každodenného života dokazujú, že hoci sme každý iný, spolu je nám aj tak najlepšie.

Poslední baronka
Je krátce po válce a spišským Strážkám vládne revoluční národní výbor pod dohledem majora Rudé armády. Ovládá vše, až na místní baronku Margitu Czóbelovou. Mladý komunista Šlauko dostane za úkol ji jako nájemník zámku hlídat a slídit. Baronka lest prokoukne, ale nechá Šlauka sedávat v ateliéru, kde místo krajin maluje portrét Lenina, aby se i ona zapojila do zavádění nových pořádků. Šlauko poslouchá její vzpomínky, pomalu propadá jejímu kouzlu i vlastní hanbě a coby vypravěč pak skládá obraz z osudů lidí známých i neznámých a z dějin kdysi bohaté Spiše propletených s dějinami Evropy. Margita Czóbelová (18911972) prožila život plný zvratů. Války, rozpady impérií, revoluce a totalitní režimy jí vzaly skoro všechno, hrdost a humor si ale vzít nenechala. Také se jí podařilo za chránit rodinné obrazy, písemnosti a zámeckou knihovnu. Vše (včetně díla svého strýce, malíře Ladislava Mednyánszkého) odkázala Slovenské národní galerii. Silvester Lavrík na základě barončiných deníků a dalších dokumentů vykreslil barvitý portrét jedné podivuhodné ženy a malého kusu stejně podivu hodné země.
Vydání knihy podpořilo Literárně informační centrum v Bratislavě.
Listy, ktoré nikto nečítal
Dve doby, dva príbehy a jeden list, ktorý všetko spája... Píše sa rok 1943 a vo vojnou zmietanom Londýne sa stretávajú dvaja mladí ľudia: nešťastne vydatá Stella a pilot amerického letectva Dan. V časoch, kedy si nikto nie je istý tým, čo bude zajtra, sa do seba bezhlavo zamilujú. Lenže chvíle, keď spolu môžu byť šťastní, trvajú veľmi krátko. Dan odchádza bojovať, ale sľubuje, že sa po Stellu po vojne vráti. O sedemdesiat rokov neskôr Dan vhadzuje do schránky posledný list. Jeden z mnohých, ktorý poslal Stelle a na ktoré mu nikdy neodpovedala. Otvára ho však Jess, mladé dievča, ktoré v opustenom dome hľadá úkryt pred svojím násilníckym priateľom. Keď si prečíta Danove nádherné listy, rozhodne sa, že sa pokúsi jeho stratenú lásku nájsť...
Kde a jak hledat houby
Je jen málo zemí na světě, kde je sběr tzv. divokých hub a jejich kuchyňské využití, tak populární jako v Čechách. Pro průměrného Čecha, na rozdíl třeba od Američanů, je les ideální místo pro procházku celé rodiny včetně malých dětí. Nebojíme se medvědů, divokých prasat, banditů, jedovatých rostlin ani jedovatých hub. Snad jsou nebezpečná jen klíšťata. Houby a jejich nálezy jsou vítaným zpestřením vycházek- není tomu jako v Anglii, kde by člověk, jenž by přišel k sousedům nebo do hospody se pochlubit s plným košíkem krásných hub, byl přivítán tak, jako by přinesl košík plný kravinců.U nás by získal obdiv a uznání...Houbaření je spojeno u nás s chatařením, v němž máme také velkou světovou prioritu - vztah k přírodě, lesu a tím i k houbaření získávají obyvatelé velkoměst i jejich děti.
Jako každá činnost, tak i houbaření, se musí umět. Jen čtení knížky ovšem nestačí k tomu, aby se někdo stal houbařem. Hlavní je nutné chodit do lesa... Ale doufám, že tato knížka může rozšířit vaše znalosti při hledání hub, především kde a jak je hledat v lese, ale i o jejich čištění, skladování, nakládání a kuchyňských úpravách. Přeji čtenářům pěkné houbaření.

Because self-realization and self-love sound so simple, but are very difficult to implement for many people in the conflict between social adaptation and personal freedom. There is the love of truth that we all carry within us, but also the sense of duty that sometimes forces us to be less than truthful. And there is the living out of personal desires. If only I were more self-confident" is therefore what many wish for when they are unexpectedly exposed to embarrassing situations or verbal attacks.

This is what this book brings you: You support climate protection, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because around the discussion and argument culture in our working sphere and completely generally in our society it does not stand to the best. Politicians, media and above all the often pointless debates on the Internet live this for us again and again. This is especially true of the way we talk to each other: We are quick to block out a piece of information or an opinion without thinking about the impact of what we are saying beforehand. In our hectic, stressful everyday working lives, we often don't treat each other carefully enough. Envy, resentment and discord among colleagues, friends and family are often the result. A mindful interaction with other people is the basic prerequisite for good understanding among each other and interpersonal relationships. Nonviolent communication is therefore the decisive factor for the success of a group or team. Against manipulation techniques one can practice repartee, sovereign appearance and composure. And emerging conflicts and disagreements should be prevented or mediated in advance. This book shows what is important in this process. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance.
