The 80/20 Principle
Millions of highly effective people have become more successful by understanding the simple fact that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts. All you have to do is identify the 20 percent that leads to 80 percent. The 80/20 Principle shows you how.
Richard Koch's million-copy-selling global bestseller is now completely revised and updated, and more powerful and essential than ever. He reveals how the principle works and shows how to use it in a systematic and practical way to vastly increase your effectiveness, and improve your career.
The unspoken corollary to the 80/20 principle is that little of what you spend your time on actually counts. But by concentrating on those things that do, you can unlock the enormous potential of the magic 20 percent. Discover how to identify the few methods that will lead to great results, and use them alone. Avoid hard work. Don't push water uphill. Be very selective in what you do. Have a great life.
80/20 is the essential tool for anyone who wants to succeed.
Be more effective with less effort by learning how to leverage the 80/20 principle.

KNIHA, KTERÁ NENÍ PRO SLABŠÍ POHAVY |
Od prvního setkání s Hrdinou Millerem mi bylo jasné, že jsem nikoho podobného v životě nepotkala. Odjakživa jsem vyrůstala zavřená jen se svou rodinou a jeho temná povaha mě neskutečně přitahovala.
On vyrůstal obklopen násilím, které dosud prýští z hlubin jeho duše. Mě vychovali s pomocí Bible, takže jsem teď dost naivní na to, abych se ho snažila zachránit. Děsí mě a vzrušuje zároveň. Je mnou posedlý a přitom uzavřený.
Chrání mě a zraňuje mě. Odhání mě od sebe, ale jen proto, že si myslí, že není dost dobrý. Varuje mě před sebou. Vypráví mi o své minulosti a o tom, koho zabil. Říká mi o tom, co mi chce dělat… co mi bude dělat, když s ním zůstanu.
Moje povaha mě nutí léčit tu temnou skvrnu na jeho srdci, ale asi na to nejsem dost silná. Čím blíž mu jsem, tím hlouběji mě vtahuje do svého temného světa, až se v něm nakonec začnu úplně ztrácet.
Vraždy. Zločin. Peníze. Sex. Obklopuje nás to ze všech stran, a když nás dostihne Hrdinova temná minulost, zaplatím za to místo něj já...

Lark & Kasim Start a Revolution
From the bestselling and award-winning author of Felix Ever After comes a heart-melting and joyful romance.
Maybe it's too late to tell them how I really feel. That I've had these feelings for months, for years . . .
Lark Winters wants to be a writer, and for now that means posting anything and everything on their social media accounts - just to build their platform. When former best friend Kasim accidentally posts a thread on Lark's Twitter declaring his love for a secret, unrequited crush, Lark's tweets are suddenly the talk of the school.
To protect Kasim, Lark decides to take the fall, pretending they accidentally posted the thread in reference to another classmate. It seems like a great idea: Lark finally gets the courage to ask out their crush, Kasim keeps his privacy and Lark's social media stats explode. But living a lie takes a toll - as does the judgement of thousands of Internet strangers. Lark tries their best to be perfect at all costs, but nothing seems good enough for the anonymous hordes - or for Kasim, who is growing closer to Lark, just like it used to be between them . . .
In the end, Lark must embrace their right to their messy emotions and learn how to be in love.

Ak chcete svoju prácu vykonávať efektívnejšie a viesť šťastnejší a zdravší život, musíte spomaliť a prestať sa ponáhľať, musíte sa odpojiť.

Working from Home with a Cat
This cute illustrated book shows what it's like to live and work from home with a cat, a situation over one third of us are familiar with.
Stepping on computer keyboards, knocking things off the table, interrupting video calls-cats can be distracting coworkers. With colorful art and oh-so-relatable scenarios, Working from Home with a Cat takes readers through a day in the life of artist Heidi Moreno and her pet cat Peanut. From the time she wakes up until the time she goes to bed, she navigates working with her needy yet loveable feline companion, as Peanut walks over her paintings, hogs her chair, disrupts her yoga routine, and more.
Despite all the struggles, cats like Peanut are always by our side when we need them, even on the hardest, loneliest workdays. Working from Home with a Cat reminds [us] why cats are the cutest colleagues and a source of comfort and calm in this chaotic world.
Permacrisis
Do you feel like we're in a permacrisis? Chances are you feel some anxiety about the state of the world. Gordon Brown, Mohamed El-Erian and Michael Spence certainly did. Three of the most internationally respected and experienced thinkers of our time, these friends found their pandemic Zooms increasingly focused on a cascade of crises: surging inflation, poor policy responses, an escalating climate emergency, increasing nationalism and a decline in global co-operation.
They shared their fears and frustrations. And the more they talked, the more they realised that while past mistakes had set the world on this bumpy course, a better path leading to a brighter future exists. Informed by their different perspectives, they sought a common goal: achievable solutions to fix our fractured world.
This book is the product of that thinking. At the heart of today's permacrisis are broken approaches to growth, economic management, and governance. While these approaches are broken, they are not beyond repair.
An explanation of where we've gone wrong, and a provocative, inspiring plan to do nothing less than change the world, Permacrisis, written with Reid Lidow, sets out how we can prevent crises and better manage the future for the benefit of the many and not the few. The longer a problem goes unresolved, the worse it will get; that's what happens in a permacrisis - and that's why we must act now.
