Nákupologie
Je klasická reklama pasé? Martin Lindstrom tvrdí v této knize, že tomu tak skutečně je. Opírá se o výsledky výzkumu, který provedl s týmem neurologů, dvěma tisíci dobrovolníků a sedmi miliony dolarů. Tak zvaný neuromarketing, kolem kterého se celá Nákupologie točí, boří oblíbené marketingové a reklamní postupy, přesvědčení a pověry, tradované z generace na generaci.
V knize se například dočtete, že:
varovné nápisy na krabičkách cigaret kuřáky nejen neodrazují, ale naopak v nich vyvolávají touhu po další cigaretě,
product placement (umístění výrobku ve filmu či seriálu) vůbec nefunguje,
tzv. zrcadlové neurony mohou za vaši touhu mít právě to, co často vídáte,
pokud ke svému produktu budete nabízet rituál, máte vyhráno.
Jestli vás navíc zajímá, jakou roli v reklamě hraje sex, podprahová sdělení nebo jak nás může ovlivnit zvuk či vůně, držíte v rukou tu správnou knihu. Jak autor dodává k některým velmi překvapivým závěrům: „Člověk může lhát, ale jeho mozek ne.“
Martin Lindstrom je jedním z nejrespektovanějších marketingových guru na světě. Každoročně tráví tři sta dní na cestách, na kterých se dělí celkově s milionem posluchačů o své průkopnické metody. Konzultuje a radí top manažerům takových společností, jako jsou McDonald’s Corporation, Procter & Gamble, Nestlé, Microsoft, Walt Disney a GlaxoSmithKline. Byl citován na stránkách Financial Times, USA Today a mnoha dalších periodik. Jeho předchozí knihu BRAND sense označil časopis Wall Street Journal za jednu z deseti nejlepších knih o marketingu, které kdy byly vydány.

The Librarian of Auschwitz: The Graphic Novel
The Librarian of Auschwitz is ideal for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice, this graphic novel is the story of the smallest library in the world - and the most dangerous. Based on a true story, it is an extraordinary novel of courage and hope by Antonio Iturbe and Loreto Aroca.
'It wasn't an extensive library. In fact, it consisted of eight books and some of them were in poor condition. But they were books. In this incredibly dark place, they were a reminder of less sombre times, when words rang out more loudly than machine guns . . .'
Fourteen-year-old Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken, along with her mother and father, from the Terezin ghetto in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious books the prisoners have managed to smuggle past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the secret librarian of Auschwitz, responsible for the safekeeping of the small collection of titles, as well as the 'living books' - prisoners of Auschwitz who know certain books so well, they too can be 'borrowed' to educate the children in the camp.
But books are extremely dangerous. They make people think. And nowhere are they more dangerous than in Block 31 of Auschwitz, the children's block, where the slightest transgression can result in execution, no matter how young the transgressor . . .
Based on the incredible and moving true story of Dita Kraus, holocaust survivor and secret librarian for the children's block in Auschwitz.
What Do You Want Out of Life?
A short guide to living well by understanding better what you really value-and what to do when your goals conflict
What do you want out of life? To make a lot of money-or work for justice? To run marathons-or sing in a choir? To have children-or travel the world? The things we care about in life-family, friendship, leisure activities, work, our moral ideals-often conflict, preventing us from doing what matters most to us. Even worse, we don't always know what we really want, or how to define success. Blending personal stories, philosophy, and psychology, this insightful and entertaining book offers invaluable advice about living well by understanding your values and resolving the conflicts that frustrate their fulfillment.
Valerie Tiberius introduces you to a way of thinking about your goals that enables you to reflect on them effectively throughout your life. She illustrates her approach with vivid examples, many of which are drawn from her own life, ranging from the silly to the serious, from shopping to navigating prejudice. Throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of interconnectedness, reminding us of the profound influence other people have on our lives, our goals, and how we should pursue them. At the same time, the book offers strategies for coping with obstacles to realizing your goals, including gender bias and other kinds of discrimination.
Whether you are changing jobs, rethinking your priorities, or reconsidering your whole life path, What Do You Want Out of Life? is an essential guide to helping you understand what really matters to you and how you can thoughtfully pursue it.

Lacná kniha Eisenhower (-90%)
Když Dwight D. Eisenhower získal v roce 1952 nejvyšší počet hlasů v dějinách Spojených států, stal se prezidentem nejmocnější země světa, jež navíc vstupovala do desetiletí prudkého hospodářského rozmachu. Proslulý britský historik Paul Johnson nám v novém životopise velkého vojáka a státníka odhaluje základní zdroje jeho mimořádného úspěchu a srozumitelně přibližuje jeho vývoj od talentovaného štábního důstojníka přes pětihvězdičkového generála až k jedné z vůdčích osobností „amerického století“. Johnson vyzdvihuje jeho rozvahu, smysl pro humor a přirozené velitelské schopnosti. Provází nás jeho dětstvím v prostém prostředí Kansasu, léty studia v prestižním West Pointu a dlouhou cestou k nejvyšším vojenským postům. Jednoznačně odmítá názory některých jeho dřívějších kritiků, kteří ho obviňovali z lenosti a nedostatku vůdcovských schopností. Ukazuje ho jako člověka nedoceněné inteligence, energie a sebekázně. Podrobně se zabývá jeho působením v roli vrchního velitele spojeneckých sil v Evropě, v níž Eisenhower prokázal během nejhrozivějšího konfliktu světových dějin své výjimečné strategické přednosti. Johnson jej představuje jako rozeného vůdce, generála i prezidenta a současně vysvětluje příčiny jeho úspěchu, k nimž patřila jeho nezdolná pracovitost, schopnost vyjít s lidmi, umění spolupracovat s médii, nenápadná důslednost a nesmírná inteligence, kterou dovedně skrýval pod maskou „prostého vojáka“. Právě tyto přednosti jej podle Johnsona provedly nejobtížnějšími fázemi dvacátého století: druhou světovou a studenou válkou, obdobím boje za občanská práva a nelehkými lety mccarthismu.Řada Eisenhowerových myšlenek a postojů z doby jeho působení v Bílém domě, především jeho schopnost udržet vyrovnaný rozpočet, šikovné manévrování tváří v tvář opozičnímu kongresu a jeho obavy z přílišné moci vojensko-průmyslového komplexu, inspiruje i současnou politickou reprezentaci.

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4
Friday January 2nd
I felt rotten today. It's my mother's fault for singing 'My Way' at two o'clock in the morning at the top of the stairs. Just my luck to have a mother like her. There is a chance my parents could be alcoholics. Next year I could be in a children's home.
Meet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life as he writes candidly about the dog, his parents' marital troubles and life as a tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual.'
Forty years after it first appeared, Sue Townsend's comic masterpiece continues to be rediscovered by new generations of readers.
Bell Jar
I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo.
Sylvia Plath's groundbreaking semi-autobiographical novel offers an intimate, honest and often wrenching glimpse into mental illness. The Bell Jar broke the boundaries between fiction and reality and helped cement Sylvia Plath's place as an enduring feminist icon. Celebrated for its darkly humorous, razor sharp portrait of 1950s society, it continues to resonate with readers today as testament to the universal human struggle to claim one's rightful place in the world.
