Keys to Kindness, The How to be Kinder to Yourself, Others and the World
A deep-dive into kindness, the science behind it and how we can better build it into our lives, from the author of The Art of Rest
Kindness can be your super-power. It feels good to be kind to others. And it feels good to receive kindness. Making the world better, in however small a way, feels good and does good. Did you know kinder bosses are more successful bosses? That paying it forward can help build a purpose-driven life? Being kind strengthens relationships. Acts of kindness, whether given or received, improve our mental and physical health.
Drawing on the latest research from psychology and neuroscience, and her work in collaboration with the University of Sussex and the BBC, Claudia Hammond sets out a prescription for a kinder life that you can adapt to your own circumstances, and explains how to use this guidance for ourselves, others and the world.
It's time for a kindness revolution.
How to Be
A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR
What is the nature of things? Must I think my own way through the world? What is justice? How can I be me? How should we treat each other?
Before the Greeks, the idea of the world was dominated by god-kings and their priests, in a life ruled by imagined metaphysical monsters. 2,500 years ago, in a succession of small eastern Mediterranean harbour-cities, that way of thinking began to change. Men (and some women) decided to cast off mental subservience and apply their own worrying and thinking minds to the conundrums of life.
These great innovators shaped the beginnings of philosophy. Through the questioning voyager Odysseus, Homer explored how we might navigate our way through the world. Heraclitus in Ephesus was the first to consider the interrelatedness of things. Xenophanes of Colophon was the first champion of civility. In Lesbos, the Aegean island of Sappho and Alcaeus, the early lyric poets asked themselves ‘How can I be true to myself?’ In Samos, Pythagoras imagined an everlasting soul and took his ideas to Italy where they flowered again in surprising and radical forms.
Prize-winning and bestselling writer Adam Nicolson travels through this transforming world and asks what light these ancient thinkers can throw on our deepest preconceptions. Sparkling with maps, photographs and artwork, How to Be is a journey into the origins of Western thought.
Hugely formative ideas emerged in these harbour-cities: fluidity of mind, the search for coherence, a need for the just city, a recognition of the mutability of things, a belief in the reality of the ideal ? all became the Greeks’ legacy to the world.
Born out of a rough, dynamic?and often cruel? moment in human history, it was the dawn of enquiry, where these fundamental questions about self, city and cosmos, asked for the first time, became, as they remain, the unlikely bedrock of understanding.

Má ešte zmysel vyjsť s pravdou von a rozbiť predstavu, ktorú si o Sarah a ostatných vybudoval celý svet?
Nie je na pravdu už neskoro? A komu tým vlastne pomôžu?

Zvládnem to!
Katka je školáčka, v škole sa jej darí a má veľa kamarátov a kamarátok. Lenže, tak ako každé dieťa, aj ona sa občas ocitne v ťažkej situácii doma či v škole. NIekedy sa skrátka veci nevyvíjajú tak, ako by sa jej to páčilo.

Ocino naučí večer Katku jednoduché uvoľňovacie cvičenie, po ktorom sa jej myseľ upokojí a ona krásne zaspí.

Prvé príkrmy
Kedy je čas začať? Čím začať? Ako postupovať? Koľko je dosť? Čo keď to nejde?... Všetko, čo potrebujete vedieť o prvých príkrmoch, nájdete v tejto knihe.
Kniha Prvé príkrmy je určená pre všetkých rodičov, ktorým záleží na strave svojich detičiek. Výživa dieťaťa je totiž základným stavebným prvkom pre správny psychický a fyzický vývoj a jeho zdravie na celý život.
Autorky sa v knihe venujú základnej problematike úplne prvých príkrmov pre deti vo veku do 12 mesiacov, najčastejšie kladeným otázkam, s ktorými sa rodič môže stretnúť, a samozrejme, praktickým tipom a receptom na príkrmy, ktoré po jednoduchej úprave budú chutiť aj starším deťom a celej rodine.
Cieľom tejto knihy je motivovať vás, informovať a poskytnúť prehľad o najnovších trendoch v stravovaní našich najmenších, inšpirovaných prírodou a našou históriou. V knihe nájdete aj prehľadnú tabuľku s postupom zavádzania jednotlivých surovín, ktorá vám uľahčí rozhodnutie o správnom načasovaní.
Autorky knihy sa dlhodobo venujú projektom zdravého stravovania. Anetta Vaculíková je ambasádorkou Food Revolution Jamieho Olivera na Slovensku a spoluzakladateľkou vzdelávacích projektov Jem iné a Foodkut. Eva Blaho študovala zdravú výživu a fytoterapiu na populárnej univerzite komplementárnej medicíny ACNT v Austrálii, v rámci projektu Foodkut organizuje workshopy a kurzy zdravého varenia, okrem toho prednáša a píše odborné knihy. Katarína Ovečková Medveďová svoje viac ako 10-ročné skúsenosti v gastronómii zbierala v reštaurácii Jardu Žideka, pri spolupráci s nórskym šéfkuchárom p.Madsenom či pri filme Ako sa varili dejiny.
Kniha Prvé príkrmy je skvelá a inšpiratívna. Odporúčam ju ako výborného pomocníka pre všetky mamičky bábätiek do 1 roka života. V knihe nájdu širokú škálu chutných receptov a návodov, ako by mal vyzerať nutrične vyvážený zdravý detský tanier podľa súčasných medicínskych overených odporúčaní v jednotlivých vekových obdobiach. Zároveň je plná cenných rád, nápadov a návrhov, ako môžu rodičia naučiť svoje detičky láske k jedlu nielen z nutričného, ale aj zo spoločenského hľadiska.

To čo máš okolo krku
Dojemné i angažované poviedky obľúbenej Chimamandy Ngozi Adichie prenikajú pod povrch vzťahov medzi mužmi a ženami, rodičmi a deťmi, ale aj Nigériou a západným svetom. Táto kniha predstavuje jej rozprávačské majstrovstvo v tej najčistejšej podobe!
To, čo máš okolo krku je zbierka dvanástich vybrúsených poviedok Chimamandy Ngozi Adichie, v ktorých sa stretávajú a prepletajú nielen malé ľudské osudy, ale aj veľké dejiny či rôzne kultúry. Sú to texty presiaknuté krásou, smútkom i túžbou, ale aj osamelosťou a čírou ľudskou beznádejou.
Čo prežije nigérijská žena, ktorá žiada o americké víza? Zvládne Kamara po príchode do Ameriky prácu opatrovateľky detí v bohatej rodine? Akých duchov vidí penzionovaný univerzitný profesor vo svojej minulosti? A prečo nigérijská mladomanželka v New Yorku rýchlo zistí, že nikdy nebude schopná vzdať sa svojej identity?
Príbehy z poviedkovej zbierky Chimamandy Ngozi Adichie To, čo máš okolo krku sa zaoberajú témami feminizmu, rasizmu, pamäti, spoločenských rozdielov, sexuálneho obťažovania, náboženského porozumenia, hľadania a strácania identity i vlastného miesta na tejto obrovskej planéte. No popri všetkých tých dôležitých témach v rukách držíme predovšetkým výnimočnú literatúru.
Poviedková kniha To, čo máš okolo krku od obľúbenej a oceňovanej nigérijskej spisovateľky Chimamandy Ngozi Adichie vychádza v preklade Kristíny Karabovej.

How to be Perfect
How can we live a more ethical life?
This question has plagued people for thousands of years, but it's never been tougher to answer than it is now, thanks to challenges great and small that flood our day-to-day lives and threaten to overwhelm us with impossible decisions and complicated results with unintended consequences.
Plus, being anything close to an 'ethical person' requires daily thought and introspection and hard work; we have to think about how we can be good not, you know, once a month, but literally all the time.
To make it a little less overwhelming, this fascinating, accessible and funny book by one of our generation's best writers and adept minds in television comedy, Michael Schur, boils down the whole confusing morass with real life dilemmas (from 'should I punch my friend in the face for no reason?' to 'can I still enjoy great art if it was created by terrible people?'), so that we know how to deal with ethical dilemmas. Much as Chidi used humour and philosophy to make Eleanor a less selfish person, Schur takes us on a journey through the 2,500-year discussion of ethics, sketching a roadmap for how we ought to act along the way.
By the time the book is done, we'll know exactly how to act in every conceivable situation, so as to produce a verifiably maximal amount of moral good. We will be perfect, and all our friends will be jealous. OK, not quite. Instead, we'll gain fresh, funny, inspiring wisdom on the toughest issues we face every day
With contributions from Professor Todd May of Clemson University, who served as an advisor on The Good Place, this is a brilliant, clever and hugely entertaining book about one of the most important topics in the world.
Aké je to zvieratko?
Rozkladacie leporelo s veselými a vtipnými veršíkmi - hádankami o zvieratkách v lese, na lúke a na poli. Realistické ilustrácie Kataríny Smetanovej výstižne dotvárajú autorkine hádanky.
How to Butter Toast
How to Butter Toast is the antidote to cookbook-overload. In this fun and entertaining recipe book without any recipes, Ottolenghi co-writer Tara Wigley equips you with rhymes and confidence to cook great food instinctively.
Melted butter on hot toast and served up on a plate.
It seems like nothing, really, could be clearer or more straight.
But though, in terms of things required, the number is just two,
there is a lot of wiggle room for what there is to do.
Cook and author Tara Wigley had been to cookery school, read hundreds of cookbooks and developed recipes for over a decade. Yet she found the fewer the ingredients in a recipe, the more confusion there was about how best to make it. The result is How to Butter Toast, a collection of rhymes that will enlighten and entertain, reassure and ultimately liberate the culinarily confused.
The rhymes provide reassuring – and memorable – answers to the culinary conundrums we often face: How long should I boil an egg? What’s the best way to crush garlic? How do I make mayonnaise, a martini or indeed the perfect cup of tea? Tara’s playful take on these food quandaries seems effortless but belies her knowledgeable and carefully researched approach to cooking.
Beautifully packaged with bold and witty illustrations throughout, How to Butter Toast is the perfect gift for cooks of all levels. This is the first book in a series Tara is publishing with Pavilion.
Môžu za to svrčky
„Koľko ľudí denne stretneme bez toho, aby sme ich spoznali? Bez toho, aby sme zistili, ako veľmi by sme si mohli rozumieť? Ja som sa to rozhodol zistiť...“
Dvadsaťdvaročný Ben sa v živote rozhodne nenudí. Od prepustenia z polepšovne už síce prešli štyri roky, no život akoby stále pripomínal sínusoidu vzletov a pádov. Najnovšie sa musí vysťahovať zo sociálneho bytu – štát totiž rozhodol, že už zarába dostatočne na to, aby mu prestal pomáhať s platením nájmu. Ešteže má Jakuba, najlepšieho kamaráta z detstva, ktorý má vždy poruke nejaký šialený nápad. Čo takto podniknúť cestu ich života? Bez plánov a takmer bez peňazí sa k nemu Ben pridáva. Počas cestovania po Amerike stretáva neobyčajných ľudí, prekonáva predsudky a zažíva jedno dobrodružstvo za druhým.
Ako dlho sa však dá unášať na krídlach náhody? Okolnosti Bena prinútia ostať na Ostrove a všetko sa konečne zdá byť v najlepšom poriadku. Ibaže to by sa mu do cesty nemohla pripliesť Vicky, ktorá sa rozhodne otvoriť si na Ostrove malú pizzeriu, aby si zarobila na nahrávacie štúdio...
Môžu za to svrčky je príbeh o hľadaní svojho miesta vo svete, o slobode, dobrodružstve, sile priateľstva, prekonávaní predsudkov a o láske. Príbeh o tom, čo všetko sme ochotní riskovať kvôli milovanému človeku, a o tom, čo všetko dokážeme trpieť tým, ktorí v našom živote zlyhali.
