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 in our often hectic world there is virtually infinite choice. But the mass of choices overwhelms many people. We hardly know which path leads to the desired result and really brings something. Often, priorities lack focus or crystal-clear goals. As a result, we often lose time unnecessarily, or necessary decision-making processes are repeatedly postponed. By the way, this also applies to interpersonal relationships. Often we do not dare to clearly prioritize things that are important to us and to communicate this accordingly with a clear no, because social fears or feelings of guilt are associated with this. Structured processes, strategies and checklists help here, showing what is really important in one's own life and what one can confidently do without. This book helps to achieve success.

Because every change, no matter how big, begins with the first step. But it is precisely this first step to go at all that many people fail. Decisive for change success is the right goal setting: good goals are smart and feasibility is an important keyword here: they should not seem too big and unattainable, but big enough to be challenging and offer development opportunities. That's why even the smallest change in our habits, known in the trade as micro habits or atomic habits, begins with that first step. It helps to appreciate and celebrate even small successes, to take our awareness more seriously and to be mindful of ourselves and our needs. Only then can we improve positive habits over time and achieve our desired goals. Good luck and have fun reading.

Because having money is fun and getting rich without much stress is the old dream of many people. The prerequisite for this is financial education and a good background knowledge. Because with the right, wide-ranging risk management, the dream of passive income, where you let your money work for you, can definitely come true.

So if you want to earn money by investing wisely, you would do well not to lose track in the jungle of financial products.

The Protection of Love
After her mother had succumbed to pneumonia and followed her husband to the grave, beautiful young Meta Lindley is bereft.
Now that her much-loved brother Richard is away in London most of the time, she is alone in the family’s once laughter-filled Manor House with only silence and her father’s pedigree stable of horses for company.
Meta is delighted when Richard pays her a surprise visit, but when he reveals that he and their Diplomat father had worked as undercover Agents, it is Richard who is taken aback to find that Meta and their Mama had known all along!
Then, to Meta’s amazement, Richard asks her to undertake a vital and very perilous spy mission of her own. A Russian Prince, whom Queen Victoria suspects is a spy, has arrived in England with his young sister, Princess Nathlia, and is looking for a country house where he can hunt and ride superb horses.
Richard has offered to rent The Manor House to Prince Alexis for the Season and has offered Meta’s services as English Tutor to the seventeen-year-old Princess Nathlia.
In that guise Meta’s mission is to observe the Russians and report back to the Queen any suspicious behaviour that might suggest that the Prince is indeed a spy.
Soon Meta finds that there is very much more to the handsome Prince and the stunningly beautiful Princess than meets the eye and, as she watches her beloved brother fall in love with Princess Nathlia, and she with him, she despairs of ever finding such a sublime love of her own.

Prečo spíme
Spánok patrí k najdôležitejším, ale najmenej pochopeným aspektom nášho života, zdravia a dlhovekosti. Donedávna vedci nedokázali odpovedať na otázky prečo spíme, ako spánok pomáha nášmu telu a mozgu, prečo nás postihnú ničivé zdravotné následky, keď nespíme. Najmä v porovnaní s našimi ostatnými základnými životnými potrebami jesť, piť a rozmnožovať sa sme účel spánku dlhé roky nedokázali pochopiť. Prudký príval vedeckých objavov za ostatné dve desaťročia však do tejto oblasti vniesol nové svetlo. Teraz nám vynikajúci neurovedec a odborník na spánok Matthew Walker umožňuje porozumieť životnej dôležitosti spánku a snívania. Okrem mnohých iných funkcií, spánok posilňuje našu schopnosť učiť sa, zapamätávať si a robiť logické rozhodnutia. Usmerňuje naše emócie, dopĺňa imunitný systém, dolaďuje metabolizmus a reguluje náš apetít. Snívanie upokojuje bolestné spomienky a vytvára priestor virtuálnej reality, v ktorom mozog spája minulé poznanie so súčasným a podnecuje kreativitu. Walker odpovedá na dôležité otázky o spánku: Ako vplýva na spánok kofeín a alkohol? Čo sa skutočne deje počas REM spánku? Prečo sa náš spánok v priebehu života mení? Ako na nás vplývajú bežné lieky na spanie, môžu spôsobiť dlhodobé poškodenie? Vďaka zmapovaniu najnovších prelomových vedeckých objavov a zhrnutiu dekád výskumov a klinickej praxe Walker vysvetľuje, ako nám môže spánok pomôcť s učením, ako nám môže zlepšiť náladu a úroveň energie, regulovať hormóny, preventívne pôsobiť proti rakovine, Alzheimerovej chorobe a cukrovke, ako môže spomaliť prejavy starnutia, zvýšiť dlhovekosť, zlepšiť vzdelávanie a predĺžiť dĺžku života našich detí a podporiť našu efektivitu, úspešnosť a produktivitu. Prenikavá, fascinujúca, vyčerpávajúca a zrozumiteľná kniha Prečo spíme čitateľom úplne zmení chápanie a oceňovanie spánku a snov.
MATTHEW WALKER, PhD. je profesorom neurovied a psychológie na Kalifornskej univerzite v Berkeley, riaditeľom univerzitného Laboratória spánku a neurozobrazovania a bývalým profesorom psychiatrie na Harvardovej univerzite. Publikoval viac než sto vedeckých štúdií a vystúpil v televíznych reláciách 60 minutes, Nova, BBC News a v rozhlasovej relácii Science Friday stanice National Public Radio. Dielo Prečo spíme je jeho prvou knihou. Objasňuje, ako si môžeme podmaniť pretvárajúcu silu spánku a zmeniť tak svoj život k lepšiemu.
Väčšina z nás ani netuší, ako trávi tretinu svojho života. V tejto ľahko zrozumiteľnej a pútavej knihe Matt Walker približuje novú vednú disciplínu, ktorá odhaľuje túto odvekú záhadu. Kniha Prečo spíme je šibalským pôžitkom a nebudete sa od nej vedieť odtrhnúť, ani keď by ste už mali ísť spať. Daniel Gilbert, profesor psychológie na Harvardovej univerzite a autor diela Zakopnúť o šťastie (Stumling on Happiness)
V diele Prečo spíme Dr. Matt Walker úchvatne rozžiaril noc vysvetlením, ako môžeme byť vďaka spánku zdravší, múdrejší, produktívnejší a v bezpečí. Jasne a zreteľne poskytuje poznatky a postupy, ako prekonať život ohrozujúce riziká spojené s našou spoločnosťou, sužovanou spánkovou depriváciou. Potreba spánku je univerzálnou potrebou, preto dômyselné rady Dr. Walkera ocení každý čitateľ. Mark R. Rosekind, PhD., bývalý riaditeľ Amerického národného úradu pre bezpečnosť cestnej premávky, člen Národnej rady pre bezpečnosť dopravy USA a vedec NASA
Walker čerpá z dvadsiatich rokov výskumu spánku, ktoré dokazujú, že spánok rozdáva priaznivé účinky celému telu, psychické i fyzické, plným priehrštím... Je vedec, ale píše pre laikov, do zložitých pojmov vnáša svetlo vďaka ľahko pochopiteľným analógiám. Library Journal (recenzia s vysokým hodnotením)

Večne je zelený
O próze Večne je zelený, ktorá vznikala v sedemdesiatych rokoch, no prvýkrát vyšla až v roku 1989, autor povedal: „Je pravda, že o novele Večne je zelený som bol presvedčený, že nikdy nevyjde, a nielen pre režim. Možno aj vedomie, že ju nikto nebude čítať, spôsobilo, že sa mi písala báječne, uvoľnene. To bol jediný prípad, keď som na jeden dúšok vychrlil aj tri-štyri strany.“ Bezmenný rozprávač Vilikovského prózy je prototypom hochštaplerov, ktorí poťahujú nitky spoza dejinných kulís. Nepoznáme síce jeho meno, dokonca ani národnosť, a z toho, čo o sebe prezrádza, nikdy nevieme rozlíšiť pravdu, klamstvo, domýšľavosť či ilúziu. Je presvedčený nielen o svojom pôvabe a ume, ale predovšetkým o oprávnenosti svojho svetonázoru, o správnosti svojho výkladu sveta a svojom nespochybniteľnom mieste na strane víťazov dejín. V každom režime, v každej situácii vie, ako byť víťazom, a tomu prispôsobuje svoje postoje, správanie i lojalitu.

Lacná kniha False Value (-90%)
Peter Grant is facing fatherhood, and an uncertain future, with equal amounts of panic and enthusiasm. Leaving his old police life behind, he takes a job with Silicon Valley tech genius Terrence Skinner's new London start up: the Serious Cybernetics Corporation.
Drawn into the orbit of Old Street's famous 'silicon roundabout', Peter must learn how to blend in with people who are both civilians and geekier than he is. Compared to his last job, Peter thinks it should be a doddle. But magic is not finished with the Met's first trainee wizard in fifty years.
Because a secret is hiding somewhere in the building. A technology that stretches back to Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage, and forward to the future of artificial intelligence. A secret that is just as magical as it technological - and twice as dangerous...

Zmrazeno
Když Bill Browder odkryl v Rusku daňový podvod v hodnotě 230 milionů dolarů, dostal se do víru událostí, které z něj udělaly jednoho z hlavních nepřátel Kremlu. Po násilné smrti jeho právníka Sergeje Magnitského v moskevském vězení se vzdal kariéry investora a začal naplno usilovat o potrestání osob zodpovědných za přítelovu smrt. Přišel proto s návrhem takzvaného Magnitského zákona, který by umožnil vládám zasáhnout proti zkorumpovaným činitelům kdekoliv na světě. Putinův režim ihned zahájil protiúder. Pronásledoval Browdera po Evropě i v USA a usiloval o jeho vydání do Ruska, kde by ho nejspíš potkal osud Magnitského. Vynaložil rovněž desítky milionů dolarů, aby jej poškodil u amerických a britských soudů. Browderův příběh připomíná politický thriller, popisuje však skutečné události, které jsou mrazivou výpovědí o fungování putinovské kleptokracie.

Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope
From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.
We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it's ever been--we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked--the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn't even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.
What's going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it's Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn't--and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the "subtle art" of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.
Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom--and even of hope itself.
With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven't considered before. It's another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.
