How Do We Know We're Doing It Right?
'Pandora is my personal guru on all things relating to the zeitgeist. How lucky you are that she can now be yours too.' DOLLY ALDERTON
Modern life is full of choices. We're told that happiness lies within and we can be whoever we want to be. But with endless possibility comes a feeling of restlessness; like we're somehow failing to live our best life. What does doing it right even look like? And why do so many women feel like they're getting it wrong?
From faster-than-fast fashion to millennial burnout, the explosion of wellness to the rise of cancel culture, Pandora Sykes interrogates the stories we've been sold and the ones we tell ourselves. Wide-ranging, thoughtful and witty, How Do We Know We're Doing It Right? explores the anxieties and myths that consume our lives and the tools we use to muddle through.
So sit back and take a breath. It's time to stop worrying about the answers - and start delighting in the questions.

Lacná kniha Sopky v dejinách (-70%)
My dnes žijeme vo vulkanicky nečinnej strednej Európe, no vo vzdialenejšom svete sa ustavične niečo deje. 4. 4. 2006: na vulkáne Ol Doinyo Lengai vo východoafrickej Veľkej riftovej doline zaznamenali silné erupcie a obrovskú lávovú fontánu. Jar a leto 2006: pod indonézskou Merapi museli 30 000 ľudí presťahovať do bezpečia. Koniec júna 2006: nad sopečným dómom Mount St. Helens v USA každodenne rástla lávová ihla o 1,5 metra. 16. 7. 2006: podvečer sa na Etne roztvorila puklina, z ktorej vytiekli do doliny Valle del Bove dva lávové prúdy. 16. 8. 2006: v Ekvádore vybuchla Tungurahua, vyžiadala si jednu ľudskú obeť, 60 ľudí sa stratilo, päť dedín bolo spustošených, 14 000 ľudí evakuovali. Okolo 20. 8. 2006: z najviac ohrozeného 8-kilometrového okolia filipínskeho Mayonu evakuovali 20 000 ľudí. Toto je iba neúplný a strohý výpočet za niekoľko mesiacov jedného roka. Sopky sú však na Zemi už vyše štyri miliardy rokov -- omnoho dlhšie ako ľudský rod, ktorému spôsobili nejednu katastrofu, a

Summer - (Seasons Quartet 4)
Summer is the fourth volume of the Seasons quartet, a collection of short prose and diaries written by a father for his youngest daughter, with stunning artwork by Anselm Kiefer.
Your voice woke me up around eight this morning, it sounded unusually close, since, as I discovered upon opening my eyes, you were lying in our bed. You smiled at me and began talking. I made coffee and had a smoke in the office before I ate breakfast with you, and when your mother got up, I came in here to write a new piece.
In Summer, Karl Ove Knausgaard writes about long days full of sunlight, eating ice cream with his children, lawn sprinklers and ladybirds. He experiments with the beginnings of a novel and keeps a diary in which the small events of his family's life are recorded. Against a canvas of memories, longings, and experiences of art and literature, he searches for the meaning of moments as they pass us by.
