Yes to Life In Spite of Everything
Just months after his liberation from Auschwitz renowned psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl delivered a series of talks revealing the foundations of his life-affirming philosophy. The psychologist, who would soon become world famous, explained his central thoughts on meaning, resilience and his conviction that every crisis contains opportunity.
Published here for the very first time in English, Frankl's words resonate as strongly today as they did in 1946. Despite the unspeakable horrors in the camp, Frankl learnt from his fellow inmates that it is always possible to say 'yes to life' - a profound and timeless lesson for us all.
With an introduction by Daniel Goleman.
The Right Move
Discover the #BookTok sports romance series everyone is talking about:
RYAN
She's a distraction, that's what she is.
I'm the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago's NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister's best friend, to move into my apartment. She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting. But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate.
The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural.
Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her.
INDY
I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy. Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others.
Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's celebrity hero.
Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love.
I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all...
Walking in the Woods : Go back to nature with the Japanese way of shinrin-yoku
'It is clear that our bodies still recognize nature as our home...' - Yoshifumi Miyazaki
'Forest bathing' or shinrin-yoku is a way of walking in the woods that was developed in Japan in the 1980s. It brings together ancient ways and wisdom with cutting edge environmental health science. Simply put, forest bathing is the practice of walking slowly through the woods, in no hurry, for a morning, an afternoon or a day. It is a practice that involves all the senses and as you gently walk and breathe deeply, the essential oils of the trees are absorbed by your body and have an extraordinary effect on positive feelings, stress hormone levels, parasympathetic nervous activity, sympathetic nervous activity, blood pressure, heart rate and brain activity. In this wonderful book, by the leading expert in the field, science meets nature, as we are encouraged to bathe in the trees and become observers of both the environment around us and the goings on of our own minds.

Popular guy Yatora realizes he's just going through the motions to make other people happy and finds himself in a new passion: painting.

But it all starts to feel empty, and he begins to wonder what part of his life expresses who he is...or even if he has a unique voice at all. Then he wanders into the art room one day, and a lone painting captures his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. Compelled and consumed, he dives in headfirst—and he's about to learn how savage, unforgiving, and exhilirating creating art can be!

Kde ji najdeš
Výbor 23 z knih Krev (Blood) a Kde ji najdeš (Where You Find It). Ve svých povídkách, zasazených do skotského prostředí, autorka zkoumá vztahy mezi mužem a ženou: zoufalou snahu milovat navzdory všemu, touhu po porozumění, okamžiky, kdy pouhé slovo či dotek má moc hojit i zraňovat, kdy se znenadání odhalí emocionální zbabělost i odvaha, vztahy závislosti, mocenské hry, násilí, které páchají muži na ženách, i způsob, jakým si ženy udržují muže v područí. Pro některé její prózy je charakteristické experimentální dělení textu, které umocňuje intenzitu výpovědi.

Time between us-Elválaszt az idő
Szeretni valakit nehéz.
De még nehezebb, ha nem csak a távolság áll közétek, hanem az IDŐ is.
FELEMELEM A FEJEM, ÉS EGYENESEN RÁNÉZEK. Most még félszegebben mosolyog, de ugyanolyan kedvesen. Mintha tudná, ki vagyok. Őszintén. Ettől olyan érzésem támad, hogy talán érdemes lenne megismerni, és önkéntelenül visszamosolygok rá.
Még akkor is vigyorgok, amikor befordulok a következő kanyarban. Aztán – mielőtt végiggondolhatnám, mit csinálok – félúton hátrafordulok, és ismét rápillantok.
Eltűnt.
Megpördülök, és a futópályát pásztázom a tekintetemmel. Aztán a padokhoz futok. A lépcső aljánál egy pillanatra megállok, és eltűnődöm, vajon ott volt-e egyáltalán. De végül csak összeszedem a bátorságom, és megiramodom felfelé.
Nincs ott, de biztosan tudom, hogy ott volt. Otthagyta a nyomát: a friss hó összepréselődött azon a helyen, ahol ült. Alul pedig ott a két lábnyom.
És akkor feltűnik még valami.
A saját lábnyomaim egyértelműen kivehetőek körülöttem a porhóban, az ő nyomai azonban nincsenek sehol. Pedig ott kellene lenniük, kétszeresen is – hiszen egyszer odament a padhoz, aztán pedig elment onnan. De sehol semmi, csak a vastag, szűz takaró.
Csodálatosan megírt, egyedi szerelmes történet.”
