Say No to the Mental Load Trap
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 women in particular are often affected by the Mental Load trap: they believe they have to carry the entire family load on their shoulders, worry about everything and anything and at some point can no longer switch off. The job, children, home, own parents - everything comes together, wants to be organized and planned. The stress trap quickly snaps shut. If unannounced events are added to the mix, the situation quickly seems hopeless. The basic problem: many people find it difficult to distance themselves in important situations and to simply say "no". Often the fear of social devaluation or sanctions, false politeness, too high demands on oneself or feelings of guilt are behind this. Even if all the demands that come our way constantly suggest otherwise, there is a simple solution to almost all problems. And that is to say no more often to excessive demands and stress. This book helps by identifying causes and suggesting solutions. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form. Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content in German and English as desired.

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 a hustler is someone who successfully tricks his way through life with a certain farmer's shrewdness and whose goal is to get a lot of money quickly. It's not necessarily comfortable, because hustling can mean really hard work, but basically it's about making your life easier. Often, hustlers are also very charismatic people who skillfully use their appearance to inspire other people. And even if one or the other may be annoyed by this, one can learn a lot from the cleverness of such people. But how much trickery is allowed and makes sense? When does a harmless trick turn into a real scam? And when is the line crossed to manipulation and worse? This book uses many examples, tips, tricks and lifehacks to show how hustlers can make everyday life easier, but also when it becomes difficult to stretch the truth too recklessly. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance.

Perfect Leader! Passion Wins
This is what this book brings you: You support certified climate protection projects, 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 what does the Perfect Leader of the future look like in a world in which the understanding of leadership is just changing fundamentally? More agile, more flexible, fewer hierarchies. But what it really comes down to is passion. If you inspire and excite your employees as a boss, you can forget about all the hard-won motivation tools. Another important aspect is diversity in mixed leadership teams. Excellent personnel management and development also has a lot to do with psychology. The boss acts as something between a rule giver, an organizer and an animator, always listening to his or her employees but also guiding them. And this balancing act simply succeeds better when the mixed duo at the top of management covers completely different positions, attitudes and competencies. Only equipped with these skills is the leadership also perfectly positioned for a future in which they must react flexibly to changes and crisis situations at all times. But only in this way can productive, fruitful leadership emerge at all. This book shows what matters. Good luck and have fun reading. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form.

Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality
Significant strides have been made in recent years in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights, visibility and empowerment, but the conversation is far from over. After years of feeling the crushing dearth of information on bisexuality, psychological scientist and bestselling author Dr Julia Shaw dug deep and found a colourful and fascinating world that she is bringing out of the shadows. It is a personal journey that starts with her own openly bisexual identity, and celebrates the resilience and beautiful diversity of the bi community.
In Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality, Shaw explores all that we know about the world's largest sexual minority. From the hunt for a bi gene, to the relationship between bisexuality and consensual non-monogamy, to asylum seekers who need to prove their bisexuality in a court of law, there is more to explore than most have ever realised. This rigorous and fun book will challenge us to think deeper about who we are and how we love.

Anatomy of Grief
An original, authoritative guide to the impact of grief on the brain, the heart, and the body of the bereaved
"Dorothy Holinger's exploration of the contours of grief is wise, moving, thought-provoking, and, best of all, extraordinarily helpful. Beautifully written and humane, it is a balm for the bereaved."-Barry Bearak, Pulitzer Prize winner for international reporting
Grief happens to everyone. Universal and enveloping, grief cannot be ignored or denied.
This original new book by psychologist Dorothy P. Holinger uses humanistic and physiological approaches to describe grief's impact on the bereaved. Taking examples from literature, music, poetry, paleoarchaeology, personal experience, memoirs, and patient narratives, Holinger describes what happens in the brain, the heart, and the body of the bereaved.
Readers will learn what grief is like after a loved one dies: how language and clarity of thought become elusive, why life feels empty, why grief surges and ebbs so persistently, and why the bereaved cry. Resting on a scientific foundation, this literary book shows the bereaved how to move through the grieving process and how understanding grief in deeper, more multidimensional ways can help quell this sorrow and allow life to be lived again with joy.

Sensemaking: The Power of the Humanities in the Age of the Algorithm
Humans have become subservient to algorithms. Every day brings a new Moneyball fix - a maths whiz who will crack open an industry with clean fact-based analysis rather than human intuition and experience. As a result, we have stopped thinking. Machines do it for us.
Christian Madsbjerg argues that our fixation with data often masks stunning deficiencies, and the risks for humankind are enormous. Blind devotion to number crunching imperils our businesses, our educations, our governments, and our life savings. Too many companies have lost touch with the humanity of their customers, while marginalising workers with arts-based skills.
Contrary to popular thinking, Madsbjerg shows how many of today's biggest success stories stem not from 'quant' thinking but from deep, nuanced engagement with culture, language, and history. He calls his method sensemaking.
In this landmark book, Madsbjerg lays out five principles for how business leaders, entrepreneurs, and individuals can use it to solve their thorniest problems. He profiles companies using sensemaking to connect with new customers, and takes readers inside the work process of sensemaking 'connoisseurs' like investor George Soros, architect Bjarke Ingels, and others.
Both practical and philosophical, Sensemaking is a powerful rejoinder to corporate groupthink and an indispensable resource for leaders and innovators who want to stand out from the pack.
A Life of Color
Sonia Delaunay (1885-1979), painter and textile, theater, and fashion designer, made enormous contributions to the development of abstraction in the early 1910s. In this new book, Delaunay and her six-year-old son Charles have a fantastical adventure in their car, modeled after her 1925 design for a Citroen convertible. They glide into a landscape of colors and shapes, as if they've driven into one of her paintings. Delaunay helps Charles understand her artistic process by asking him what shapes and colors he recognizes along the way, and Charles realizes that his mother's thoughts about art permeate every aspect of their life.

Wines of the Rhone
Wines from Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage and Châteauneuf-du-Pape have made the Rhône Valley world famous. This may be a classic wine region, but as Matt Walls reveals in Wines of the Rhône that doesn’t mean it is set in its ways. Change here is not only driven by innovations in winemaking and fashions in wine, it is also an essential response to a rapidly shifting climate, which has seen temperatures rise significantly over the last 40 years and extreme weather events become more commonplace.
Walls provides a rounded picture of this large and complex region, which varies greatly along the 200-kilometre stretch of river, from Vienne in the north to Provence in the south. Beginning with a vivid journey through the terrain, he explores one of the region’s constants, its varied geology, before moving on to the pressing issue of climate. A short tour through the Rhône’s winemaking history, from early Greek settlers to the modern industry, is followed by vignettes of all the AOC-permitted grapes and an explanation of the five levels of the region’s appellation system.
While the region contains some of the world’s most recognizable appellations, there are also many that are less well-known. Walls encourages readers to venture beyond the famous crus, making it easy for those eager to explore by detailing the terroir of every appellation and describing and assessing typical wines. Profiles of 200 key producers complete the picture. Boxes throughout the text provide interesting asides on current issues as well as key appellation facts, while an appendix on ageing wines offers a guide to the last 40 vintages.
This comprehensive examination of a renowned region is an ideal introduction for those new to the Rhône, while providing fresh insights for long-time admirers of the wines.

Twins of Auschwitz
The Nazis spared their lives because they were twins.
In the summer of 1944, Eva Mozes Kor and her family arrived at Auschwitz.
Within thirty minutes, they were separated. Her parents and two older sisters were taken to the gas chambers, while Eva and her twin, Miriam, were herded into the care of the man who became known as the Angel of Death: Dr. Josef Mengele. They were 10 years old.
While twins at Auschwitz were granted the 'privileges' of keeping their own clothes and hair, they were also subjected to Mengele's sadistic medical experiments. They were forced to fight daily for their own survival and many died as a result of the experiments, or from the disease and hunger rife in the concentration camp.
In a narrative told simply, with emotion and astonishing restraint, The Twins of Auschwitz shares the inspirational story of a child's endurance and survival in the face of truly extraordinary evil.
Also included is an epilogue on Eva's incredible recovery and her remarkable decision to publicly forgive the Nazis. Through her museum and her lectures, she dedicated her life to giving testimony on the Holocaust, providing a message of hope for people who have suffered, and worked toward goals of forgiveness, peace, and the elimination of hatred and prejudice in the world.

Messi - Bůh, který sestoupil na Zemi
"Bůh sestoupil na Zemi a jmenuje se Messi." Vzkázal světu Lionelův bývalý spoluhráč a střelec Barcelony Samuel Eto´o krátce po té, co Messi zapsal už před dvěma lety v El Clásiku proti Realu svůj barcelonský gól s číslem 500, a navíc gól vítězný.
Ovšem dnes už je na více než 700 vstřelených brankách při dosažení 50 hattricků ve všech soutěžích, mimořádností nejsou ani čtyři góly v zápase. Suma sumarum 50 branek za sezonu, více než gól v jednom zápase! Podobně jako Cristiano Ronaldo. Oba si na posledních dvanáct let podmanili fotbalový i sportovní svět. Větších celebrit v něm zřejmě nenajdeme. Oproti skvělému Portugalci má však ve vlastnictví o jeden čerstvý klenot navíc. Na sklonku roku 2019 získává už svůj šestý Zlatý míč pro nejlepšího fotbalistu planety a poprvé obdrží Cenu Laureus, je vyhlášen nejlepším sportovcem světa.
Lionel, dnes společně právě s Cristianem - po boku Pelého, Maradadony a Cruijffa - jeden z nejlepších fotbalistů historie a technicky nepochybně nejvybavenější hráč, nepřestává za svou úžasnou kariéru děkovat také dvěma obyčejným a zároveň výjimečným ženám. Matce, a především babičce. Obě nesou pro Lea vzácné jméno Célia.
"Posílám vzkaz mojí babičce, která mě k fotbalu přivedla, ale už se nemůže dívat, kam jsem se díky němu dostal."
Maminka, vynikající kuchařka, o své matce, tedy oné skvělé babičce, mimochodem umné cukrářce, prozradí: "Trvala na tom, aby Leovi dovolili hrát, když ještě neměl věk, byl nejmladší a nejmenší. ‚Přihrajte Lionelovi, tomu malému chlapci, protože on umí střílet góly,' vykřikovala vždycky. "A byla to ona, přesvědčila nás, abychom mu koupili kopačky."
Cesta, jakou Leo, dodnes v podstatě skromný kluk, k velké slávě ušel, se podobá příběhu z fantastického filmu. Jejím základem bylo, že od svých čtyř let miloval balon. "Drobek", jak mu říkali, v jedenácti míč ovládá jako nějaký kouzelník, ve škole s ním všichni chtějí hrát, protože střílí nejvíc gólů.
Jenže - jak fotbalová nebesa nadělí Leovi talent, tak mu v předpubertálním věku ubírají na výšce. Nedostává se mu růstového hormonu a ve dvanácti třinácti zůstává sotva na sto třiceti centimetrech! Trpasličí chlapec, navíc často nemocný, byť se jeví jako génius, přece nikdy nedoroste do velkého fotbalu, vidí trenéři. Fyzicky hru prostě nezvládne. Mají strach Lea vůbec postavit, hrozí, že ho mnohem urostlejší protihráči zadupou do země. Kdo si tohle vezme na triko?
Nejdříve tradiční klub z Rosaria, Atlético Newell´s Old Boys. Když chlapec oblékne jeho červenočerné barvy, má sedm let, ovšem tehdy ještě nikdo o jeho budoucích strastech netuší. Válí jako fotbalový bůžek, takže se nad jeho chatrným růstem pomalu nikdo nezamýšlí. První otazníky přicházejí a jejich rébus nastává po Leových desátých narozeninách. Resumé vyhlíží jednoznačně. Pokud se chce jedinečný talent prosadit, musí podstoupit náročnou hormonální léčbu. Kdo ji ale zaplatí, když rodiče, pomalu zoufalí Célie a Jorge, prostředky nemají? Po složitých peripetiích přelétne třináctiletý Lionel deset tisíc kilometrů do akademie Barcelony, výjimečné líhně La Masia. Modročervení "blaugranas" v roce 2000 zatím spíše pouze tuší, že získávají unikátní talent, ale že se stávají vlastníky nejcennějšího fotbalového klenotu současnosti, poznávají až o pár let později. Leo zatím pod dohledem nejlepších odborníků vyroste k 169 centimetrům.
V necelých osmnácti oblékne dres prvního týmu Barcy a současně přivede Argentinu k titulu mistrů světa dvacetiletých. Už v roce 2009, ve svých dvaadvaceti, poprvé získá Zlatý míč pro nejlepšího fotbalistu planety. Vystřídá na trůnu Cristiana Ronalda a pak nejcennější individuální trofej zvedne jako první fotbalista historie nad hlavu hned šestkrát (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015 a 2019)!
Lionel a Christiano, novodobí giganti fotbalu, pořádají střelecké dostihy. Co na tom, že Ronaldo vstřelí v jedné sezoně za Real Madrid 60 branek, když Messi jich v Barce zapíše 73, a překoná i legendu Gerda Müllera. Leo se v jediném ročníku Champions League raduje čtrnáctkrát, aby ho pak Cristiano v roce 2014 překonal hned sedmnácti zásahy. Lionel by se mohl pyšnit celou řadou fantastických statistik, chlapec z Rosaria však jen skromně řekne: "Lámání rekordů je výsledkem několika věcí: ve fotbale se to však stane, když vám k tomu pomůže tým. Myslím si, že se pořád učím nové věci, a určitě tady bude vždycky něco, co se dá zlepšit."
Messi a Ronaldo jsou z jiné planety. Přemohli to, co bylo, a předběhli i to, co bude. A Diego Maradona, mistr světa z roku 1986, už o osmnáctiletém Leovi bez obav prohlásí: "Viděl jsem hráče, který převezme mou úlohu v argentinském fotbale. Jeho jméno je Messi a je mým nástupcem. On mě jednou nahradí a bude nejlepší na světě."
Diegova předpověd se naplňuje, až na jediné. Zatímco Leo vyhraje s Barcelonou vše, co je možné, krom jiného deset španělských titulů a čtyřikrát Champions League, jako kapitán Albicelestes zatím dosáhne "jen" na světové stříbro na Mondialu v Brazílii. A tak toužebně vzhlíží k zisku Světovému poháru na MS v Kataru 2022 a myslí na svůj největší sen. "Chtěl bych se stát s Argentinou mistrem světa."
Vydejme se na Messiho neuvěřitelnou cestu dlážděnou výsostným uměním velkého hráče a posetou fotbalovými diamanty.

There is still hope. When the Elders sent the Garde to Earth, they had a plan-one which the Garde are finally starting to understand. A group of the Garde travelled to an ancient pyramid in Mexico known to their people as the Sanctuary. There they awoke a power that had been hidden within our planet for generations.
Now this power can save the world . . . or destroy it.
It will all depend on who wields it.

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji
Famous First Edition: First printing of 6,000 numbered copies
Mount Fuji has long been a centerpiece of Japanese cultural imagination, and nothing captures this with more virtuosity than the landmark woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). The renowned printmaker documents 19th-century Japan with exceptional artistry and adoration, celebrating its countryside, cities, people, and serene natural beauty. Produced at the peak of Hokusai's artistic ambition, the series is a quintessential work of ukiyo-e that earned the artist world-wide recognition as a leading master of his craft.
The prints illustrate Hokusai's own obsession with Mount Fuji as well as the flourishing domestic tourism of the late Edo period. Just as the mountain was a cherished view for travelers heading to the capital Edo (now Tokyo) along the Tokaido road, Mount Fuji is the infallible backdrop to each of the series' unique scenes. Hokusai captures the distinctive landscape and provincial charm of each setting with a vivid palette and exquisite detail. Including the iconic Under the Great Wave off Kanagawa (also The Great Wave), this widely celebrated series is a treasure of international art history.
Among only a few complete reprints of the series, this XXL edition pays homage to Hokusai's striking colors and compositions with unprecedented care and magnitude. Bound in the Japanese tradition with uncut paper, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji presents the original 36 plates plus the additional 10 later added by the artist. The perfect companion piece to TASCHEN's One Hundred Views of Edo and The Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaido, this publication paints an enchanting picture of pre-industrial Japan and is itself a stunning monument to the art of woodblock printing.
