Když jsem tak inteligentní..., proč se stále a stále zamilovávám jako úplná blbka?
Vědecká studie doktorky Prudencie Skeptické z výzkumného institutu JSML (Jako svobodná myslím lépe) prokázala, že v průběhu historie muži brázdili oceány, aby hledali nové světy, zatímco ženy brázdily oceány, aby se provdaly za někoho, koho v životě neviděly, muži při hledání původu života prozkoumali moře, země, hory a vesmír, ženy prozkoumaly nebesa, moře a zemi při hledání vysněných princů, muži se usilovně zabývali dešifrováním genetické mapy, zatímco ženy se zaměstnávaly dešifrováním mužů. A víte proč? Protože my ženy jsme až dosud žily, generace za generací, nakažené virem romantismu: je to velmi nakažlivý virus, který, stejně jako celulitida, napadá jenom nás ženy. Jeho jménem pak provádíme takové pošetilosti, že vidíme prince v žabácích, zamilujeme se do Drákuly nebo provozujeme sex bez ochrany. Tato zábavná, ale nikoho nešetřící kniha plná ženských hormonů, hledá odpověď na otázku, kterou si neustále klade Julie uvnitř nás: „když jsem tak inteligentní ... proč se stále a stále

I'd always lived a fairly blameless life. Up until the day I left my husband and ran away to Hollywood...' Unlike the rest of her family, Maggie Walsh has always done everything right. At thirty-three she has a proper job, is happily married to Garv and never puts a foot wrong. So why does she make a bolt for Hollywood and her best friend, Emily? In the City of Angels, Maggie gets to do things she's never done before: mixing with film stars, pitching scripts, partying non-stop. But is this really a once-in-a-lifetime journey of self-discovery, or is she simply running away from married life?

Slaughterhouse-Five
The first-ever, critically acclaimed graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five now available in softcover!
Centering on the infamous firebombing of Dresden, Billy Pilgrim’s odyssey through time reflects the mythic journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we fear most. Billy Pilgrim’s journey is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be fallibly human. An American classic and one of the world’s seminal antiwar books, Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five is faithfully presented in graphic novel form for the first time from Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!).

A History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women
Here's how the history of the Roman Empire usually goes... We start with Romulus, go on to Brutus overthrowing Tarquin, bounce through an appallingly tedious list of battles and generals and consuls, before emerging into the political stab-fest of the late Republic. From there, it runs through all the emperors, occasionally mentioning a wife or mother to show how bad things get when women get out of control, until Constantine invents Christianity and then Attila the Hun comes and ruins everything.
But the history of Rome and empire is so much more than these Important Things. In this alternative history, Emma Southon traces the story of the Roman Empire through women: Vestal Virgins and sex workers, business owners and poets, martyrs and saints. Each gives a different perspective on women's lives and how they changed, across time and across class lines.
The Book of Gutsy Women
She couldn't have been more than seven or eight years old. "Go ahead, ask your question," her father urged, nudging her forward. She smiled shyly and said, "You're my hero. Who's yours?"
Many people-especially girls-have asked us that same question over the years. It's one of our favorite topics.
HILLARY: Growing up, I knew hardly any women who worked outside the home. So I looked to my mother, my teachers, and the pages of Life magazine for inspiration. After learning that Amelia Earhart kept a scrapbook with newspaper articles about successful women in male-dominated jobs, I started a scrapbook of my own. Long after I stopped clipping articles, I continued to seek out stories of women who seemed to be redefining what was possible.
CHELSEA: This book is the continuation of a conversation the two of us have been having since I was little. For me, too, my mom was a hero; so were my grandmothers. My early teachers were also women. But I grew up in a world very different from theirs. My pediatrician was a woman, and so was the first mayor of Little Rock who I remember from my childhood. Most of my close friends' moms worked outside the home as nurses, doctors, teachers, professors, and in business. And women were going into space and breaking records here on Earth.
Ensuring the rights and opportunities of women and girls remains a big piece of the unfinished business of the twenty-first century. While there's a lot of work to do, we know that throughout history and around the globe women have overcome the toughest resistance imaginable to win victories that have made progress possible for all of us. That is the achievement of each of the women in this book.
So how did they do it? The answers are as unique as the women themselves. Civil rights activist Dorothy Height, LGBTQ trailblazer Edie Windsor, and swimmer Diana Nyad kept pushing forward, no matter what. Writers like Rachel Carson and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie named something no one had dared talk about before. Historian Mary Beard used wit to open doors that were once closed, and Wangari Maathai, who sparked a movement to plant trees, understood the power of role modeling. Harriet Tubman and Malala Yousafzai looked fear in the face and persevered. Nearly every single one of these women was fiercely optimistic-they had faith that their actions could make a difference. And they were right.
To us, they are all gutsy women-leaders with the courage to stand up to the status quo, ask hard questions, and get the job done. So in the moments when the long haul seems awfully long, we hope you will draw strength from these stories. We do. Because if history shows one thing, it's that the world needs gutsy women.

Vesmírná květina
„Kniha „Vesmírná květina“ mnohým z vás objasní knihu „Duhové srdce“.“
– řekl Hilarion v závěru této knížky, která navazuje na knihu „Duhové srdce“. Tato kniha nám dává „klíče“ na to, jako tvořit, jako se spojit s vyléčenou dualitou a takto dokázat vystoupit z iluze oddělení od všeho co je; jako rozšířit svoje vědomí a dosáhnut spojení, které jsme my, lidi ztratili a ztrácíme stále víc, až kým úplně nepadneme a nepřijdeme na to, proč vlastně nedokážeme milovat sebe samých, proč nemáme dostatek energie, proč nedokážeme byť šťastní, proč nedokážeme tvořit, …
Informace, které jsou v téhle knížce, vám můžou přinést do života hodně změn.
Vysvětluje a zaobírá se aj strachem a nejistotou, které jsou dnes mezi lidmi velmi rozšířené. Duchovní mistři popisují, proč to tak je a co můžou lidé změnit, aby nebili znova a znova zraňovaní. Jak můžou žít v blahobytě a dostatku, lehko a s radostí, jak můžou byť zdrávi,…
Toto můžeme dosáhnout, jenom pokud máme dostatek lásky k sobě, protože, jak na konci knihy řekl Hilarion:
„Láska je nejmocnějším klíčem ke všemu, co chcete dosáhnout!!!“

The Real Alex Bertie
I guess we should start at the beginning. I was born on 2 November 1995. The doctors in the hospital took one look at my genitals and slapped an F on my birth certificate. 'F' for female, not fail - though that would actually have been kind of appropriate given present circumstances.
When I was 15, I realised I was a transgender man. That makes it sound like I suddenly had some kind of lightbulb moment. In reality, coming to grips with my identity has taken a long time.
Over the last six years, I've come out to my family and friends, changed my name, battled the healthcare system, started taking male hormones and have had surgery on my chest. My quest to a beard is almost complete. This is my story.

The World According to Alexander McQueen
'When times are hard, fantasy and escapism are crucial' Alexander McQueen
Having grown up in London's East End, Alexander McQueen left school at 15 to become a tailor's apprentice on Mayfair's Savile Row. At 22, he joined the prestigious MA course at Central Saint Martins and, after presenting his 1992 graduate collection (bought on the spot by influential fashion stylist Isabella Blow), went on to change the course of fashion.
McQueen was defiant in his opinions on creativity ('Give me time and I'll give you a revolution'), women ('I design clothes because I don't want women to look all innocent and naive ... I want people to be afraid of the women I dress') and craft ('You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition'). He drew much of his inspiration from the natural world ('I have always loved the mechanics of nature and to a greater or lesser extent my work is always informed by that') and consistently challenged perceptions of beauty ('People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality').
This attractive book in an accessible format is the perfect gift for fans of fashion and Alexander McQueen, capturing the wit and spirit of a true visionary.
Never Split the Difference
"A master of persuasion." (Forbes). "This book blew my mind." (Adam Grant, bestselling author of Originals). A former FBI hostage negotiator offers a new, field-tested approach to negotiating - effective in any situation. After a stint policing the rough streets of Kansas City, Missouri, Chris Voss joined the FBI, where his career as a kidnapping negotiator brought him face-to-face with bank robbers, gang leaders and terrorists. Never Split the Difference takes you inside his world of high-stakes negotiations, revealing the nine key principles that helped Voss and his colleagues succeed when it mattered the most - when people's lives were at stake. Rooted in the real-life experiences of an intelligence professional at the top of his game, Never Split the Difference will give you the competitive edge in any discussion. "Filled with insights that apply to everyday negotiations." (Business Insider). "Chris Voss has few equals when it comes to high-stakes negotiations. Whether for your business or your personal life, his techniques work." (Joe Navarro, former FBI Special Agent and bestselling author of What Every BODY is Saying).

Tato inspirující a myšlenkově podnětná kniha slouží jako posilující protilátka vůči cynismu, frustraci a ochromení, které mnozí z nás pociťují, a nahrazuje je zásadním připomenutím toho, co je pravdivé: my všichni jsme spojeni a naše osobní rozhodnutí v sobě mají netušenou transformační sílu. Tím, že plně přijímáme a uplatňujeme tento princip vzájemné propojenosti, stáváme se účinnějšími hybateli změny a máme silnější pozitivní vliv na svět.
Charles Eisenstein v této knize líčí skutečné životní příběhy lidí, které ukazují, jak jednotlivé malé činy odvahy, laskavosti a sebedůvěry mohou změnit vůdčí příběh naší kultury – příběh oddělenosti – který, jak autor vysvětluje, vyvolal současnou planetární krizi. Přivádí nás k uvědomění hluboké moudrosti, kterou všichni přirozeně známe: dokud sami sebe nedáme do pořádku, každý čin, který podnikneme – bez ohledu na to, jak dobré jsou naše úmysly – bude nakonec pomýlený a v rozporu se srdcem. Především nás ale Charles Eisenstein vybízí, abychom si osvojili radikálně odlišné chápání příčiny a následku, což se jeví jako jasná výzva k opuštění našeho starého světonázoru, abychom konečně mohli vytvořit krásnější svět, o kterém naše srdce vědí, že je možný.
Start 55 II. díl
Druhý díl START 55, který přímo navazuje na knihu předchozí, která je plná klukovin, dětských her a i veselých školních zážitků.
Autor čtenáře oslovuje nehraným, nestrojeným, vyprávěním. Pozoruje sám sebe, své kamarády, blízké i všechny další, na které vzpomíná v nejrůznějších i choulostivých situacích. Neubližuje, s nadhledem a jemně přátelsky připomíná to, co je nám povědomé a blízké, co prožil, byť jinak téměř každý z nás.
Jeho vztah k ženám je velice intenzivní. Spousty divokých večírků, poznávání tajů erotična, malování aktů v jeho atelieru, hledání té pravé lásky, prožitá zklamání . To vše později vytváří z adolescenta, zralého a odpovědného muže. Nelze též přejít jeho předvojenské i vojenské neskutečné prožitky, které bez nadsázky a s nadhledem absolvoval. Velkým a nekonečným zdrojem veselých vzpomínek, jsou též pro autora časté návštěvy Bulharska. Zde se seznámil se svou ženou pro kterou neváhal a sebral rodičům auto. Vše však dopadlo dobře a druhý díl končí svatbou s neuvěřitelnými konci pro novomanžele.
Nechme si tedy vyprávět další autorovy příběhy a zážitky, ale i zkušenosti z cest, které můžeme zúročit i my třeba o dovolené.
