How to Be Somebody Else
Spring 2015, New York.
On the surface Dylan has achieved the impossible - a life in New York, eight years of making this stick. And yet it is not the thing she'd imagined (what had she imagined?). When she walks out of her career, then apartment, and into a housesit for an artist she's never met, she does not tell her friends, her parents back in England, or Matt, her boyfriend, living on the West Coast.
Job-free, rent-free, she'll make good on her book, herself, other things too, she's thinking, when her neighbour Kate shows up and invites her to a party. There she meets Gabe, who happens to be married to Kate but insists, 'it's not a thing'. The affair that follows consumes her and she begins to consider what is fixed and what is variable. Can a person be both? Is Gabe the thing he seems? Is she?
As spring turns to summer, her experiments in living test loyalties and boundaries until an unexpected encounter between the two couples forces her to confront her future.

Ako to s ním zvládnuť
Čo sa v našich životoch stane, že nám vzťahy prestávajú fungovať podľa našich predstáv? Stretneme skvelého človeka a úplne očarení s ním nadviažeme vzťah. No po čase býva mnohé inak.
Prichádzajú prvé nedorozumenia. Rozdielne názory, iné priority, či iné vnímanie reality. Často to otrasie prvotným nadšením, ktoré sa niekedy úplne vytratí.
Poviete si, to je normálne, zamilovanosť po čase pominie. Ale čo ak je niekedy iba potlačená tým, že odrazu vnímame toho druhého inak? Začíname sa totiž upriamovať na iné veci.
Predstavte si, že by ste si so svojim partnerom rozumeli úplne vo všetkom. Dá sa také niečo vôbec dosiahnuť? Pravdepodobne nie, dá sa však tomu priblížiť.
Váš partner má inú kombináciu hormónov ako vy. Má inú povahu, iné vlastnosti, iné túžby a iné životné skúsenosti. Keď to všetko spočítame, je takmer iným biologickým druhom. Je vlastne divné, že vám to vôbec spolu funguje.
Ešte stále si myslíte, že by ste si teda mali tak ľahko rozumieť?
Aj keď som vás práve schladil, tajne dúfam, že áno. Ale zadarmo to nebude. Bude to stáť množstvo snaženia a energie, ktorú do toho budete musieť obaja dať.
Vzťah nie je len o harmónii a romantike na lúke s jarnými kvetmi, šampanským a jahodami. Občas teda áno. V skutočnosti je ale často o zvládaní rozdielov medzi vami a hľadaní spoločnej reči.
Ako to však zvládnuť, keď on vám nie vždy rozumie? A vám sa jeho správanie zdá ako nepochopiteľné?
Je to preto, že hovoríte každý iným jazykom.
Máte iné myšlienkové pochody, inú logiku, iné vnímanie sveta.
A tou pointou je, pochopiť toho druhého. Nechce sa vám? Chápem, je to niekedy náročné. Pokojne to môžete celé zavrhnúť, alebo sa môžete rozhodnúť byť sama. Alebo môžete tvrdohlavo povedať, nech sa snaží on, veď je predsa muž a mal by vás dobýjať.
Sklamem vás. On je muž a on to až tak neanalyzuje. Nie je to totiž naša silná stránka.
Ak teda chcete zažiť lásku, celoživotný uragán citov, vezmite to do rúk vy. Zariaďte to a zmanažujte. Naučte to vás oboch zvládnuť, pretože on to nebude chcieť urobiť. Bude mu to trápne, je predsa muž .
Viem, ako myslí väčšina z nás a viem, aké sú naše silné stránky aj slabiny. A starať sa o to, aby vzťah fungoval, medzi naše hajlajty nepatrí.
Ak na to kývnete, potrebujete mu po prvé porozumieť. Po ďalšie, potrebujete byť porozumená vy sama a potrebujte vedieť zaobchádzať s tvorom, ktorý je úplne iný ako vy. A volá sa muž, pre istotu pripomínam...
Ak máte pocit, že to komplikujem, sama si odpovedzte, či existuje niečo komplikovanejšie, ako medziľudské vzťahy. No buď ich zvládnete, alebo zatrpknete.
V knihe Ako to s ním zvládnuť sa dozviete, ako to všetko vlastne je. Bez servítky, bez obhajovania, na rovinu. Ako to funguje, aj prečo to niekedy nefunguje. Dozviete sa, na čom najčastejšie padajú partnerské vzťahy a ako to zvrátiť.
Zistíte, ako ľahko sa dajú robiť vo vzťahu chyby a aké majú následky. Ale taktiež, ako to celé napraviť , zvrátiť a dostať to opäť do skvelej kondície.
Táto kniha vám pomôže porozumieť mužom. Tiež vám pomôže, aby oni lepšie rozumeli vám. Aby ste boli pochopená, rešpektovaná, tiež aj milovaná a hlavne šťastná.
S láskou, Marek Zajac, autor.
Ne že bychom to nečekali
Může ještě doufat v životní lásku?
Plánování svatby je v plném proudu a moje nejlepší kamarádka Lia mě požádala, abych jí s ní pomohl. Jediný problém je, že s každou přibývající vteřinou, jsem svou nejlepší kamarádku viděl v jiném světle. A než si uvědomím, co se děje, udeří mě to jako tuna cihel. Jsem zamilovaný do své nejlepší kamarádky. Zbývá dokázat Lie, že já jsem ten, s kým by měla být. Pomodlete se za mě…

How Big Things Get Done
Best Books of 2023 – The Financial Times and The Economist
Shortlisted for Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year 2023
World expert Bent Flyvbjerg and bestselling author Dan Gardner reveal the secrets to successfully planning and delivering ambitious projects on any scale.
Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant new reality. Think of how Apple’s iPod went from a project with a single employee to an enormously successful product launch in eleven months. But such successes are the exception. Consider how London’s Crossrail project delivered five years late and billions over budget. More modest endeavours, whether launching a small business, organizing a conference, or just finishing a work project on time, also commonly fail. Why?
Understanding what distinguishes the triumphs from the failures has been the life’s work of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg. In How Big Things Get Done, he identifies the errors that lead projects to fail, and the research-based principles that will make yours succeed:
- Understand your odds. If you don’t know them, you won’t win.
- Plan slow, act fast. Getting to the action quick feels right. But it’s wrong.
- Think right to left. Start with your goal, then identify the steps to get there.
- Find your Lego. Big is best built from small.
- Master the unknown unknowns. Most think they can’t, so they fail. Flyvbjerg shows how you can.
Full of vivid examples ranging from the building of the Sydney Opera House to the making of the latest Pixar blockbusters, How Big Things Get Done reveals how to get any ambitious project done – on time and on budget.

How Civil Wars Start
Civil wars are the biggest danger to world peace today - this book shows us why they happen, and how to avoid them.
Most of us don't know it, but we are living in the world's greatest era of civil wars. While violence has declined worldwide, civil wars have increased. This is a new phenomenon. With the exception of a handful of cases - the American and English civil wars, the French Revolution - historically it has been rare for people to organise and fight their governments.
This has changed. Since 1946, over 250 armed conflicts have broken out around the world, a number that continues to rise. Major civil wars are now being fought in countries including Iraq, Syria and Libya. Smaller civil wars are being fought in Ukraine, India, and Malaysia. Even countries we thought could never experience another civil war - such as the USA, Sweden and Ireland - are showing signs of unrest.
In How Civil Wars Start, acclaimed expert Barbara F. Walter, who has advised on political violence everywhere from the CIA to the U.S. Senate to the United Nations, explains the rise of civil war and the conditions that create it. As democracies across the world backslide and citizens become more polarised, civil wars will become even more widespread and last longer than they have in the past. This urgent and important book shows us a path back toward peace.
How to Be a Rock Star
As lead singer of Happy Mondays and Black Grape, Shaun Ryder was the Keith Richards and Mick Jagger of his generation. A true rebel, who formed and led not one but two seminal bands, he's had number-one albums, headlined Glastonbury, toured the world numerous times, taken every drug under the sun, been through rehab - and come out the other side as a national treasure.
Now, for the first time, Shaun lifts the lid on the real inside story of how to be a rock star. With insights from three decades touring the world, which took him from Salford to San Francisco, from playing working men's clubs to headlining Glastonbury and playing in front of the biggest festival crowd the world has ever seen, in Brazil, in the middle of thunderstorm. From recording your first demo tape to having a number-one album, Shaun gives a fly-on-the-wall look at the rock 'n' roll lifestyle - warts and all: how to be a rock star - and also how not to be a rock star.
From numerous Top of the Pops appearances to being banned from live TV, from being a figurehead of the acid-house scene to hanging out backstage with the Rolling Stones, Shaun has seen it all. In this book he pulls the curtain back on the debauchery of the tour bus, ridiculous riders, run-ins with record companies, drug dealers and the mafia, and how he forged the most remarkable comeback of all time.
