Síla lítosti
Non, rien de rien. Non, je ne regrette rien.
Ne, ničeho. Ne, nelituji vůbec ničeho.
… zpívá ve svém slavném šansonu Edith Piaf.
Je ale vůbec možné ničeho nelitovat?
Každý cítí lítost, vysvětluje Daniel H. Pink. Procesy lítosti jsou univerzální a zdravou součástí lidského bytí. A pochopení toho, jak lítost funguje, nám může pomoci k rozumnějším rozhodnutím, podávat lepší výkony v práci či při studiu a vnést do našich životů větší smysl.
Na základě výzkumu v oblasti sociální psychologie, neurovědy a biologie autor boří mýtus o životní filozofii „Ničeho nelituji“. S využitím největšího vzorku amerických postojů k lítosti, který kdy byl proveden, a svého vlastního výzkumu World Regret Survey – který shromáždil výčitky od více než 15 000 lidí ve 105 zemích – uvádí čtyři základní druhy lítosti, které jsou vlastní každému z nás.
Stejně jako ve svých bestsellerech (Drive, When a A Whole New Mind) nabízí Pink nový dynamický způsob uvažování o lítosti a své myšlenky koncipuje srozumitelně a pragmaticky. Síla lítosti je plná skutečných příběhů lidí, kteří litují něčeho ve svém životě, i praktických tipů, jak přehodnotit lítost na pozitivní sílu, a ukazuje, jak můžeme díky této nepopulární emoci žít bohatší a odvážnější život.
V knize se dozvíte:
- že litovat je lidské
- že za litování se nemusíme stydět
- 4 nejčastější druhy lítosti
- proč díky litování rosteme
- jaké jsou tři hlavní výhody litování
- jak si z litování udělat dobrého přítele
- že i negativní emoce mohou mít pozitivní moc
Času stráveného s touto knihou však rozhodně litovat nebudete.

Moon & Earth
The shocking conclusion to the Moonfire Trilogy.
Lana han Chevonian is one of the world’s brightest minds on the brink of making a huge discovery. There is only one problem: she is stuck as prisoner in the harem of the Aranian king. She could try to escape and run the risk of getting re-captured or getting killed on the very long and difficult road back home to Chevakia, or she could win the favour of the king, beg to be allowed to use the famed library and promise Arania credit for her work.
Meanwhile, war is about to break out between Aranian armies with icefire weapons and Chevakian armies wanting to wipe those weapons off the face of the earth.
Lana’s discovery turns the understanding about icefire on its head, but no one is listening. They’re on course to destroy everything that’s keeping the world alive.

The Skrews
Skrews is an independent literary publication that is dedicated to the darker, pain-filled words of poets who've experienced severe adversity, trauma, and tribulation in their lives. While the element of suffering is often held in high esteem in the poetry community, most poets who haven't already created a name go unheard. This publication is here to change this. We are by those, for those, and celebrated by those who are in this very real state of chaos.
Issue 002 (The Isolation Issue, 2020), is a collection of forty-two poems from various amateur poets from the United States that have been joined by a few international poets across the world. The year 2020 has been a particularly trying year, and in respect, these poets have written a wide encompassment of poetry that highlights the subjects of isolation, grief, mental angst, displacement, and much more.

Total Competition
Total Competition is the most compelling, comprehensive and revealing insight into what it takes to get to the top in Formula One that has ever been published.
Across four decades, Ross Brawn was one of the most innovative and successful technical directors and then team principals in Formula One. Leading Benetton, Ferrari, Honda, Brawn and Mercedes, he worked with drivers such as Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton to make them world champions. In 2017, he was appointed F1's managing director, motor sports, by the sport's new owners Liberty Media. Now, in this fascinating book written with Adam Parr (who was CEO and then chairman of Williams for five years), he looks back over his career and methods to assess how he did it, and where occasionally he got things wrong.
Total Competition is a definitive portrait of modern motorsport. In the book, Brawn and Parr explore the unique pressures of Formula One, their battles with Bernie Ecclestone, and the cut-throat world they inhabited, where coming second is never good enough. This book will appeal not only to the millions of Formula One fans who want to understand how Brawn operates, it will also provide many lessons in how to achieve your own business goals.

Memphis Ward élete ötödik legrosszabb napján érkezik meg a montanai Quincybe. Sürgősen szüksége lenne egy frissítő zuhanyra. Némi harapnivalóra. És egy kis józan észre. Mert egy újszülött gyerekkel átköltözni az ország másik végébe a legnagyobb őrültség, amit valaha is tett.
De talán némi őrültségre van szüksége ahhoz, hogy jobb életet teremtsen magának. Ha a fia érdekében maga mögött kell hagynia a múltját, 1800 kilométert kell utaznia, és új városba költöznie, ám legyen. Még akkor is, ha le kell mondania korábbi fényűző életéről. Még akkor is, ha takarítóként kell dolgoznia a The Eloise Innben, és egy garázs feletti garzonban kell laknia.
Aznap, élete ötödik legrosszabb napján találkozik a legjóképűbb férfival, akit valaha is látott. Knox Eden a megtestesült gyönyörű és bűnös álom. Borostás arcú, tetovált karú, nyers és tüzes férfi, olyasvalaki, akivel sosem volt még dolga..., és soha nem is lesz. Mert élete legrosszabb napján Memphis megtanulta, hogy a jó élet érdekében le kell mondania a saját álmairól. És egy Knox Edenhez hasonló férfi mindig csak álom marad...

This book uses many examples to show how small lies can make everyday life easier, but it also shows when it becomes difficult to extend the truth too carelessly.
We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form.

Leading for Anywhere
'Leading From Anywhere is the best book on remote work I've ever read - incisive, original, and eminently practical. Read it - and takes notes.' - Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and To Sell Is Human
It's undeniable that we're entering a new era of remote work. So, how can managers ensure that their businesses run as usual when the way that we work looks so . . . unusual?
Top business thought leader David Burkus has mined the very best research on virtual teams and case studies of companies that have not just survived but thrived through remote work to provide managers with the field guide to leading remotely, packed with everyday examples and illuminating insights. Structured around the lifecycle of working on a team, Burkus tackles the key inflection points and challenges that managers face in this new landscape from taking the team remote and adding new members, to communicating effectively and quickly, managing performance, keeping the team engaged, and celebrating individual departures or adjourning the team as a whole.
If you want your remote team to have a harmonious work-life balance while increasing productivity, this is your indispensable guide.

Tristan jóképű, sikeres zenész. Fanyar humorával és túlzott magabiztosságával valótlanul tökéletesnek tűnik, ezért Nia kételkedni kezd a véletlen erejében. Barátnői ugyanis hetek óta hitegetik, hogy összehoznak neki egy vakrandit.
A szívtiprót teljesen letaglózza, amikor Nia egyszerűen faképnél hagyja őt. Azonban úgy rendezi, hogy a híres Crystal Cave jégbarlang látogatásakor újra találkozzanak. És ott, a türkizszínű hegy belsejében, a vastag jégpáncél alatt mégis felizzik köztük a levegő. A közös felfedezés során nemcsak a természet szépségei hatnak az érzékeikre, hanem egy szenvedélyes kaland is kezdetét veszi…
Vajon a ki nem mondott gondolatok és az elharapott szavak mögött ott rejlik a szerelem?
A rendkívül sikeres Tiéd a főszerep-sorozat szerzője, K. M. Holmes regénye úgy rabolja el a szívünket, mint Niáét az izlandi táj szépsége és Tristan lenyűgöző mosolya.
