'Part rumination, part walking coach and companion . . . and one that might just do more for your health and happiness than your treadmill alone ever could' New York Journal of Books
'Drawing on the experiences of Kagge's extraordinary life in wild places, this is a book of great concentration' Robert Macfarlane, on Silence
'A thoughtful book-length essay on a taken-for-granted human activity' Kirkus

The Grip of Film
Gordy LaSure's passionate about film. He eats film, he drinks film, and sometimes he'll even watch a film. But most of all he loves talking to people about film: whether a comely student with low confidence and a father complex, a Studio 'development' exec who doesn't trust his own judgement, or the countless people Gordy LaSure's encountered in his capacity as the web moderator on an Excessive Sweating Discussion Forum.

Why are some films bad, and some films terrible?How come just a handful of films (Titanic, Porky's, Dirty Harry) areany good at all?

And he doesn't shoot from the hip; he shoots from the gut.

Second First Impressions
Ruthie Midona is twenty-four (going on ninety-four) and fully committed to her job at a luxury retirement village. Keeping herself busy caring for the eccentric residents means that Ruthie can safely ignore her own life - what little there is of it.
Teddy Prescott is practically allergic to a hard day's work. When he rocks up as the retirement village's newest employee, Ruthie is less than impressed. The last thing she needs is a distraction as irritating (and handsome) as this selfish rich kid. Lucky for Ruthie, her favourite pair of mischievous residents need a new assistant to torture... so she hands over Teddy, ready for them to send him running.
Except Teddy may be about to surprise her - not just by surviving the old women's antics, but by charming Ruthie so much, she starts to remember that there's more to life than work... Could Teddy be far more than simply an unwelcome distraction?
'A truly adorable, heart-warming, swoon-worthy love story' Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare
Distraction (n): Something that turns your attention away from something you want to concentrate on. See: Teddy Prescott.

The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation.
Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi's greatest dream is to make some friends, but everyone at school mistakes her crippling social anxiety for cool reserve. Luckily she meets Tadano, a timid wallflower who decides to step out of his comfort zone in order to help her achieve her goal of making 100 friends.
Komi and her classmates are in the Big Apple, and Manbagi sees it as a chance to make a Big Confession. But as much as she wants to tell Tadano that she likes him, can she go through with it if it means changing her friendship with him (and Komi!) forever?
Lore Olympus Volume Two: UK Edition
Persephone was ready to start a new life when she left the mortal realm for Olympus. However, she quickly discovered the dark side of her glamorous new home - from the relatively minor gossip threatening her reputation to a realm-shattering violation of her safety by the conceited Apollo - and she's struggling to find her footing in the fast-moving realm of the gods.
Hades is also off-balance, fighting against his burgeoning feelings for the young goddess of spring while maintaining his lonely rule of the Underworld. As the pair are drawn ever closer, they must untangle the twisted webs of their past and present to build toward a new future.
This full-color edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story, and brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
This volume collects episodes 26-49 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus
Power of Habit
In "The Power of Habit", award-winning "New York Times" business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation's largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death. At its core, "The Power of Habit" contains an exhilarating argument: the key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

Myšlení rychlé a pomalé
Daniel Kahneman, nositel Nobelovy ceny za ekonomii, patří k jedněm z nejinspirativnějích myslitelů
současnosti. Jeho "pop-science" kniha o tom, jak se my lidé v různých situacích rozhodujeme, je jakýmsi
vyzyvatelem pro tradičně uznávané modely rozhodování a také vlastně i příručkou. Kahneman své myšlenky dlouho
uplatňoval na polích ekonomie, medicíny a politiky, ale teprve nyní je skloubil do jedinečné knihy.
Autor nás v průlomové práci, kterou Nassim Taleb označuje za stejně významné dílo, jakým byl kdysi Freudův "Výklad
snů", seznamuje se dvěma systémy, které řídí to, o čem přemýšlíme. Označuje je prostě: "Systém 1" a "Systém 2".
Systém 1 je intuitivní, rychlý, emocionální, Systém 2 je pomalý, váhavý, logický. Jejich rozpoznání přináší překvapivé
důsledky a myšlenky pro naše myšlení i chování.
Kahneman nás vtahuje do dialogu o tom, jak myslíme, a naznačuje, kde můžeme, a kde naopak v žádném případě
nesmíme věřit intuici. Přináší různé techniky, které nám pomůžou se obrnit proti mentálním omylům. Kniha Thinking,
Fast and Slow změní způsob, jakým přemýšlíme o myšlení.
Kniha byla vybrána redakcemi New York Times Book Review, Globe and Mail, The Economist a The Wall Street
Journal jako jedna z nejlepších knih roku 2011.
