The Five Powers
TRUST + ENERGY + MINDFULNESS + CALM + WISDOM
It can all feel a bit too much. We find ourselves occupied, morning to night, with reacting, responding and coping with uncontrollable and often challenging circumstances. How can we rise above stress, anxiety and frustration? How do we perform a restart? Is it possible to radically transform our daily life? And how might we invite deeper meaning and freedom into our lives?
For many, the gateway to the Buddhist teachings is Mindfulness. And Mindfulness is indeed one of the Five Powers that are regarded as the original teachings of the Buddha:
1. Trust
2. Energy
3. Mindfulness
4. Calm
5. Wisdom
How do these Five Powers help us to discover personal peace and freedom? We begin with Trust, a leap of faith, letting go of the sides and getting into the stream of life. But in order to swim well, we also need Energy to overcome resistance and keep going. Mindfulness brings our awareness to where we are on the path in each moment, to notice life in its rich detail. Inner freedom expands, amplified by the peaceful power of Calm. We focus on what is right in front of us, we listen intently, we are patient with life. And Wisdom provides our inner knowing, our compass.
With stunning artwork throughout by the acclaimed artist Alessandro Sanna, The Five Powers is a guide for those who seek the freedom to be themselves, to love fully and to dance with the unexpected and embrace the everyday.

Penguin Complete Jane Austen
Sense and Sensibility | Pride and Prejudice | Mansfield Park | Emma | Northanger Abbey | Persuasion | Lady Susan Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. Through her vivacious and spirited heroines and their circle, she paints vivid portraits of English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close. Each of the novels is a love story and a story about marriage - marriage for love, for financial security, for social status. But they are not mere romances; ironic, comic and wise, they are masterly studies of the society Jane Austen observed. The seven novels in this volume contain some of the most brilliant, dazzling prose in the English language.

Wes Anderson
The indispensable, illustrated pocket guide to the films of Wes Anderson, from Bottle Rocket to Isle of Dogs.
ALSO AVAILABLE:
Close-Ups: Vampire Movies
Close-Ups: New York Movies
Wes Anderson is a distinctive auteur of modern American cinema, known for having created a personal universe out of pastel colour palettes, meticulous set design, nostalgic soundtracks and a troupe of familiar actors - all seen in films such as Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Isle of Dogs.
In this illustrated pocket guide Sophie Monks Kaufman delves beneath Anderson's pristine surfaces to examine his emotional preoccupations with family, romance, failure, adventure and death. She carefully unspools the cultural threads that inform his aesthetic to explain why this precocious arthouse film nerd from Texas has become one of the most popular directors of his generation.

The Making of a Leader
From polar explorers and politicians to CEOs and sports coaches, we are fascinated with the makeup of leaders.
How do they thrive under pressure and inspire others to do the same? How do they establish a culture of long-term success?
Performance psychologist Tom Young has worked closely with teams and individuals at the highest level of professional sport. He has seen how leaders in these high-pressure environments communicate, how they maintain focus and respond to challenges. In The Making of a Leader, Young shares the practical principles of sustained elite performance and shows how any individual can add value to their own business or organisation by applying these insights.
You will learn how to develop a leadership philosophy that is true to your values, effectively manage and get results from individuals and teams, establish a high-performance culture and bring value to your organisation - in short, the ingredients that make a leader. These lessons are based on interviews with:
- Stuart Lancaster, current Leinster coach and former Head Coach of the England national RFU team
- Ashley Giles, ECB Director of Cricket during England's 2019 World Cup win
- Gary Kirsten, record-breaking former international batsman and World Cup-winning coach of the Indian national team
- Dan Quinn, Head Coach of Atlanta Falcons and a Super Bowl winner with Seattle Seahawks
- Roberto Martinez, FA Cup-winner and Belgian national team manager
- Sean Dyche, Burnley FC manager
- Michael Maguire, Head Coach of the New Zealand national rugby league team
The Making of a Leader is a unique, inspiring guide to leadership that can inspire positive results in any context, based on interviews and experiences from the cutting edge of elite sport.

Azzedine Alaia
Peter Lindbergh and Azzedine Alaia, the photographer and the couturier, were united by their love of black, a love that they would cultivate alike in silver print and solid color garments. Lindbergh ceaselessly turned to black and white to signify his search for authenticity in the faces he brought to light. Alaia drew on the monochrome of timeless clothes to create veritable sculptures for the body.
In this book, the unique dialogue between the two artists is immortalized in print. Illustrating their community of spirit, its images are a celebration of their artistic partnership and testament to their history-making achievements in photography and fashion.
Despite their geographically opposed origins, Lindbergh and Alaia pursued similar horizons. At the same time as Lindbergh's reputation in Germany was growing thanks to his work in Stern magazine, and he set up his studio in Paris in 1978, Alaia was the couturier shrouded in discretion whose sophisticated techniques were a treasured secret amongst the most important clients of Haute Couture.
Alaia became the architect of bodies, revealing and unveiling them, while Lindbergh distinguished them by shining a light on their soul and personality. Step by step, they became the creators that dominated their respective disciplines. Both rejected any artifice that distracted from their true subject, and it is with great ease that they came together for a number of powerful collaborations.
Shared inspirations and aesthetic values are visible throughout their work. A beach in Le Touquet and the streets of old Paris reference a mutual love of black and white cinema and vast panoramas. The backdrop of an engine room illustrates the memory of an industrial German landscape for one and references the inordinate passion for functional design and architecture held by the other. Alaia's clothes act as pedestals for the smiles and eyes of the women who wear them: Nadja Auermann, Mariacarla Boscono, Naomi Campbell, Anna Cleveland, Dilone, Lucy Dixon, Vanessa Duve, Helene Fischer, Pia Frithiof, Jade Jagger, Maria Johnson, Milla Jovovich, Lynne Koester, Ariane Koizumi, Yasmin Le Bon, Madonna, Kristen McMenamy, Tatjana Patitz, Linda Spierings, Tina Turner, Marie-Sophie Wilson, Lindsey Wixson. For Lindbergh, who built his notoriety on the images of these supermodels, the authenticity of their traits is all that matters. The result is a potent black and white catalogue that reverberates with truthfulness and beauty.The book accompanies the exhibition Azzedine Alaia, Peter Lindbergh at the Fondation Azzedine Alaia, 18 rue de la verrerie, Paris, France.
Diszlexia a digitális korszakban
A könyv a szokásostól eltérő szögből, a digitális-információs kor kultúráján keresztül mutatja be a diszlexiát és az egyéb neurológiai alapú teljesítményzavarokat. Ezek a zavarok elsősorban az iskolai sikerességet gátolják, de egy életre szóló romboló hatással is járhatnak. Terjedésük nem valamiféle járvány vagy átok, hanem szinte szabályszerű következménye egy kultúraváltásnak.
A 21. század elején szinte mindenki digitális eszközökkel megrakottan járkál, de a tanteremben a digitális eszközök kikapcsolandók. A tanórán kívül azonban a diákok rákattannak a gépeikre, és a pedagógus is totálisan digitalizálódik, mobiltelefonon beszél, letölti az e-mailjeit stb. Amint azonban visszamegy a tanterembe, ismét olyan predigitális kövületté alakul, mint amilyen az oktatás. A pedagógus még digitális bevándorló, aki természetes módon használja a kor eszközeit a mindennapokban, de a tanítása hermetikusan elzárt ezektől a változásoktól. Az iskolában a tanár a digitális eszközöket predigitális szemléletben, predigitális módszerekkel használja a digitális bennszülöttek tanításában, akik bár a gombnyomogatásban verhetetlenek, az iskolai tanulásban katasztrofálisak.
A digitális kor és vívmányai megváltoztatták a gyerekek agyának fejlődését, átalakult képességszerkezetük. Szinte minden változik, a kultúra átalakul, de az oktatás ugyanolyan gyerekeket vár az iskolába, amilyenekre száz évvel ezelőtt készült fel. E mindeddig feloldatlan ellentét miatt az iskola egyre nagyobb intenzitással termeli a kudarcokat. Gyerekek, szülők és tanítók keresik a menekülést, a kiutat. A kiút megtalálásához szembe kell nézni a problémával.
A szerző a digitális kornak megfelelő tanulási módszereket mutat be, és járható utakat rajzol fel az iskolai készségek elsajátításához. A megoldásokat a digitális kultúra felépülése mentén, de nem a digitális eszközökre hagyatkozva keresi. Aki szeretné megérteni, mi történik a gyerekekkel, hogy már alig tudnak tanulni, pedig rettentő okosak, annak javasoljuk ezt a nagyon aktuális könyvet.
