Spare
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother's coffin as the world watched in sorrow - and horror. As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling - and how their lives would play out from that point on.
For Harry, this is that story at last.
With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.

Lacná kniha Gulliver´s Travels (-70%)
Swift raises doubts about the classifications and sizes of objects that we perceive all around us in Gulliver's Travels. These stories have clever dialogue with subtly political and social satire. His use of language to spread the use of humour and common sense, which humans fail to utilise, makes the story flow flawlessly and makes it incredibly simple to follow. There are also confirmed instances of laughter throughout. Although many kids read this book and appreciate Gulliver's adventures, when read by an adult, a completely different wisdom and perspective on people and mankind emerges.

Funny Story
Daphne always loved the way Peter told their story.
That is until it became the prologue to his actual love story with his childhood bestie, Petra.
Which is how Daphne ends up rooming with her total opposite and the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra's ex, Miles.
As expected, it's not a match made in heaven - that is until one night, while tossing back tequilas, they form a plan.
And if it involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their adventures together, well, who could blame them?
But it's all just for show, of course, because there's no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé's new fiancée's ex . . . right?
A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Emily Henry
The Psychology of Stupidity
'We need books like this one' - psychologist Steven Pinker
At last, stupidity explained! And by some of the world's smartest people, among them Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Alison Gopnik, Howard Gardner, Antonio Damasio, Aaron James and Ryan Holiday.
Stupidity is all around us, from the colleagues who won't stop hitting 'reply all' to the former school friends posting conspiracy theories on Facebook. But in order to battle idiocy, we must first understand it. In The Psychology of Stupidity, some of the world's leading psychologists and thinkers - including a Nobel Prize winner - will show you . . .
* Why smart people sometimes believe in utter nonsense
* How our lazy brains cause us to make the wrong decisions
* Why trying to debate with fools is a trap
* How media manipulation and Internet overstimulation makes us dumber
* Why the stupidest people don't think they're stupid
As long as there have been humans there has been human stupidity, but with wit and wisdom these great thinkers can help us understand this persistent human affliction.
The Diary of a CEO
This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons. This is a book about something much more permanent.
At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.
These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.
They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.
These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started?

8 Rules of Love
The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Think Like a Monk offers a revelatory guide to every stage of romance, drawing on ancient wisdom and new science.
Nobody sits us down and teaches us how to love. So we're often thrown into relationships with nothing but romance movies and pop culture to help us muddle through. Until now.
Instead of presenting love as an ethereal concept or a collection of cliches, Jay Shetty lays out specific, actionable steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture love better than ever before.
He shares insights on how to win or lose together, how to define love, and why you don't break in a break-up. Inspired by Vedic wisdom and modern science, he tackles the entire relationship cycle, from first dates to moving in together to breaking up and starting over. And he shows us how to avoid falling for false promises and unfulfilling partners.
By living Jay Shetty's eight rules, we can all love ourselves, our partner, and the world better than we ever thought possible.
Wait, What
New York Times Bestseller "What, What? is a welcome-and joyful-reminder that true wisdom comes from asking the right questions. Should you read this book? Absolutely." -Clayton Christensen, bestselling author of How Will You Measure Your Life?Based on the wildly popular commencement address, the art of asking (and answering) good questions by the Dean of Harvard University's Graduate School of Education. Whether we're in the boardroom or the classroom, we spend far too much time and energy looking for the right answer. But the truth is that questions are just as important as answers, often more so. If you ask the wrong question, for instance, you're guaranteed to get the wrong answer. A good question, on the other hand, inspires a good answer and, in the process, invites deeper understanding and more meaningful connections between people. Asking a good question requires us to move beyond what we think we know about an issue or a person to explore the difficult and the unknown, the awkward, and even the unpleasant.In Wait, What?, Jim Ryan, dean of Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, celebrates the art of asking-and answering-good questions. Five questions in particular: Wait, what?; I wonder...? Couldn't we at least...?; How can I help?; and What truly matters? Using examples from politics, history, popular culture, and social movements, as well as his own personal life, Ryan demonstrates how these essential inquiries generate understanding, spark curiosity, initiate progress, fortify relationships, and draw our attention to the important things in life-from the Supreme Court to Fenway Park. By regularly asking these five essential questions, Ryan promises, we will be better able to answer life's most important question: "And did you get what you wanted out of life, even so?" At once hilarious and illuminating, poignant and surprising, Wait, What? is an inspiring book of wisdom that will forever change the way you think about questions.
Srdce kontemplativní modlitby
Mystické křesťanství. Náročný, avšak neuvěřitelně hluboký text, jehož každé slovo, je-li správně pochopeno, míří k cíli, který je skryt přímo v nás. Cynthia Bourgeault, autorka bestsellerů Moudrost Ježíše (The Wisdom Jesus) a Tajemství Marie Magdalény (The Meaning of Mary Magdalene), se v této knize vrací ke svému nejoblíbenějšímu tématu: k neduálnímu vědomí a jeho esenciálnímu vztahu ke křesťanské tradici. Nedualita a křesťanství - cože? Nedualita neboli vnímání stavu, v němž není rozdílu mezi já, ty a Bohem, je zkušenost, o níž hovoří křesťanští mystici už celá staletí. Mezi velkým počtem knih o kontemplativní modlitbě je kniha Cynthie Bourgeault naprosto výjimečná: míří do mnohem větší hloubky, než bylo doposud obvyklé, a prezentuje kontemplativní modlitbu jako cestu k neduálnímu vědomí. Vstupuje proto na teoreticky i teologicky náročnější terén, než s jakým pracují jiné knihy pojednávající o kontemplativní modlitbě (včetně jejího vlastního předchozího titulu Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening). Ve svých tvrzeních se opírá o Bibli, o učení starých církevních otců a zejména o křesťanskou kontemplativní tradici. Ve fascinující třetí části knihy analyzuje klasické dílo středověké křesťanské mystiky, Oblak nevědění, který se, jako většina mystických textů, v konečném důsledku otevírá jen tomu, kdo se nachází na stejné duchovní úrovni, ze které byl napsán.
