The Tale of Toxic Positivity
The author of the hit parody The Panda, the Cat and the Dreadfully Teddy draws on the simple, idyllic world of Beatrix Potter to shed light on some of the most pertinent issues of our time.
Beatrix, a refined and gentle lady, decides to relocate to the countryside to escape the chaotic city and exorbitant house prices of London, in search of a simpler, more holistic life. Looking forward to painting cute rural animals and writing stories about their charming ways, she desires nothing more than to surround herself with nature and to practice mindfulness and kindness. But after months spent in isolation during ‘hibernation’, all the local wildlife emerge grumpy, sweary and having forgotten all their social skills – Jemima Puddleduck has even been cancelled. Will Beatrix’s new small garden and spare room make all this aggro worth it?

Two Weeks Notice. Felmondólevél
GYŰLÖLÖM, HOGY SZERETEM?
Tisztelt Címzett!
Jelen levelemben hivatalosan is bejelentem a távozásomat a Parker Internationaltől (és az arrogáns, lekezelő vezérigazgatótól), kéthetes felmondási idővel. Döntésem meghozatala NAGYON KÖNNYŰNEK bizonyult, hiszen az elmúlt két év kifejezetten pocsék volt. A világ legnagyobb szerencséjét kívánom a következő menedzserasszisztensnek (szüksége lesz rá), s ha a főnököm bármit kérne tőlem a következő két hétben, legyen szíves a tudtára adni, hogy rohadtul csinálja meg egyedül...
Tisztelettel (igazából nem is):
Tara Lauren
Ilyen felmondólevelet kellett volna küldenem a főnökömnek, mert a hivatalosabb változatot, amelyikben „hálás vagyok minden lehetőségért", és „megtiszteltetés számomra az összes gyümölcsöző tapasztalat" – nos, azt visszadobta a szexi, önelégült félmosollyal, ami a védjegye. És hozzátette, hogy „határozottan javaslom, olvassa el az apró betűs részt a szerződésében". Tehát úgy is tettem.
És most rájöttem, hacsak nem adom elő, hogy meghaltam, nem mérgezem meg, vagy nem találok módot a lehetetlen szerződésem újratárgyalására, akkor kénytelen leszek New York egyik legidegesítőbb és legkönyörtelenebb vezérigazgatója keze alatt dolgozni. De aztán késő este felhívott egy sürgős ajánlattal...
Hihetetlenül szexi és pimasz, feszültséggel teli könyv,
melyben a drámai és forró jeleneteket lélektani összefüggések is gazdagítják.
ÜDÍTSD FEL VELE A LELKED!

A Tale of Two Cities (Oxford World´s Classics)
As the the bicentennary of the French Revolution draws near, Dickens' historical novel serves as a timely reminder of nineteenth-century reactions to that great upheaval. Set between 1757 and 1793, A Tale of Two Cities views the causes and effects of the Revolution from an essentially private point of view, showing how private experience relates to public history. Dickens' characters are fictional, and their political activity is minimal, yet all are drawn towards the Paris of the Terror, and all become caught up in its web of human suffering and human sacrifice. This edition includes extensive explanatory notes giving crucial background information about the Revolution and Dickens' sources. 'the best story I have written' Charles Dickens

The River of Death: A Tale of London In Peril
Another in the "Doom of London" series, in which the author sounds a clarion call of potential disasters that may fall upon the great city. Here he relates a tale of environmental contamination leading to a medical panic.London in a year of severe drought; water level in the Thames river extremely low, blazing heat wave for 3 weeks in August; a Portuguese cargo ship sinks and contaminates a tributary of the Thames; 3 of the crew members are discovered to be dying of some disease; the local doctor is frightened by what he sees, calls the health authorities, who call for help from Professor Darbyshire, a scientist who deals with "fighting diseases in the bulk", someone we might call an environmental epidemiologist today; he investigates, then ... Darbyshire makes a hurried call asking his friend, Dr. Longdale, to come at once to his house where he has a small laboratory."Darbyshire produced a phial of cloudy fluid, some of which he proceeded to lay on the glass of a powerful microscope. Longdale fairly staggered back from the eyepiece. "Bubonic! The water reeks with the bacillus! I haven't seen it so strongly marked since we were in New Orleans together. Darbyshire, you don't mean to say that this sample came from—"Yes, the sample was water from the contaminated Thames, the river from which roughly 4/5 of the water comes to supply the needs of the 5 million Londoners. Longdale says the water system must be shut off."And deprive four-fifths of London with water altogether!" Darbyshire said grimly. "And London grilling like a furnace? No flushing of sewers, no watering of roads, not even a drop to drink. In two days London would be a reeking, seething hell — try and picture it, Longdale.""I have, often," Longdale said gloomily. "Sooner or later it had to come. Now is your chance, Darbyshire — that process of sterilisation of yours."Will he save London? Of course — he's the hero of the story. But how? Does London panic? How do the authorities respond?

The Diary of a CEO
This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons. This is a book about something much more permanent.
At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.
These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.
They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.
These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started?
