Live Life in Crescendo
The inspirational final book from the legendary leadership expert Stephen R. Covey, internationally best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
How do you live your best life, no matter your age? How should you approach the challenges and opportunities of middle to later life-like raising children, caring for parents, managing and inspiring others, and staying on top of your career and what comes next?
In Live Life in Crescendo Stephen R. Covey sets out to answer these questions, outlining his vision for those in the prime of your life, whatever age you may be. To live life in crescendo is to continually grow in contribution, learning, and influence. In the same way that music builds on previous notes but leaves us anticipating the next note, a life builds on the past but unfolds in the future. The Crescendo Mentality urges readers to use whatever you have - your time, talents, skills, resources, gifts, passion, money, influence - to enrich the lives of people around you.
Written near the end of his life and published posthumously, Live Life in Crescendo is a life-changing and life-affirming book infused with Covey's generosity and wisdom.

Anna O
A dark, twisty, and shocking mystery about a young woman who commits a double murder while sleepwalking, and then never opens her eyes again.
The world will know her name.
What if your nightmares weren’t really nightmares at all? We spend an average of 33 years of our lives asleep. But what really happens, and what are we capable of, when we sleep? Anna Ogilvy was a budding twenty-five-year-old writer with a bright future. Then, one night, she stabbed two people to death with no apparent motive—and hasn’t woken up since.
Dubbed “Sleeping Beauty” by the tabloids, Anna’s condition is a rare psychosomatic disorder known to neurologists as “resignation syndrome.” Dr. Benedict Prince is a forensic psychologist and an expert in the field of sleep-related homicides. His methods are the last hope of solving the infamous “Anna O” case and waking Anna up so she can stand trial. But he must be careful treating such a high-profile suspect—he’s got career secrets and a complicated personal life of his own.
As Anna shows the first signs of stirring, Benedict must determine what really happened and whether Anna should be held responsible for her crimes. Only Anna knows the truth about that night, but only Benedict knows how to discover it. And they’re both in danger from what they find out.
Humanity and God
On the first Sunday in the year 1903, a few friends were sitting round the fire after supper talking, as preachers will, of sermons and the work of God. The conversation was very frank and brotherly, and turned finally upon my own work. My friends reproached me for ignoring their oft-repeated entreaties that I would publish a volume of sermons. I replied that it had been a fixed rule of my life to regard an open door as an essential element in a call, and for this I had no call. Then I was asked what I would regard as a call of God. I answered at once and without much thought, “An unsolicited request from Hodder and Stoughton.” The subject dropped, as the condition was thought unreasonable. Within twenty-four hours the request came. No one had communicated with the publishers; and there was only one answer possible.The sermons selected were preached from notes as a series in the regular course of my ministry; and afterwards at the Southport Convention, and the Northfield Conference. That explains some omissions and some repetitions. An underlying unity runs through the series, yet each sermon had to be practically complete in itself.It is impossible to make adequate acknowledgment of the sources of my indebtedness. I am sure there is nothing in these pages I have not received. Through an exceptionally busy life I have striven to give attention to reading, and what I have read has passed into the fibre and substance of my work. If I have unconsciously wronged any who have been my helpers and teachers, I shall be sorry to have given so blundering an expression to my appreciation and thanks.I send forth these sermons deeply conscious of their limitations and imperfections. Two things comfort me—a sentence I read many years ago, “A sharp spear needs no polish”; and the fact that every one of these sermons has been blessed of God to many souls. My only prayer concerning them is, that they may be blessed in print as they were blessed in speech, and that Christ’s Name may be glorified.

Medzi Slovákmi
Martin M. Šimečka je burič aj tíšiteľ, provokatér aj mysliteľ, spytujúci sa aj rozprávač, najmä je to však rýdzi intelektuál, akých má stredná Európa málo. Vždy je totiž najprísnejší sám k sebe, a keď premýšľa o svete, skôr či neskôr začne hľadať svoju zodpovednosť za jeho podobu. Už dvakrát sa stal „nepriateľom štátu“, prvý raz to bolo za komunizmu, druhý v období mečiarizmu, a táto skúsenosť mu umožňuje nazerať na Slovensko z unikátnej perspektívy. Je možné milovať krajinu, ktorá vás zavrhne len preto, lebo chcete žiť slobodne? A čo vlastne určuje váš vzťah k spoločnosti? Martin vo svojej knihe prejavuje lásku k Slovensku tým najlepším možným spôsobom – je k nemu kritický. Jeho vzťah totiž neurčujú štátne hranice, národné piesne či trepotajúce vlajky, ale opäť onen pocit zodpovednosti. A z toho plynie nádej.

Derű - Naptár 2024
Ebben a gyönyörűen illusztrált naptárban az évet Paulo Coelho műveiből válogatott idézetek kísérik végig. Paulo Coelho, akit emberek milliói a szavak alkimistájaként tartanak számon, napjaink egyik legbefolyásosabb szerzője. Könyvei nemcsak a bestsellerlistákat vezetik, de társadalmi és kulturális párbeszédet is gerjesztenek. A műveiben érintett témák, eszmék és filozófiák sok olvasó vágyát teljesítik be, olyanokét, akik a saját útjukat és a világ újfajta megértését keresik. Catalina Estrada már gyerekként ráeszmélt szülőhazája, Kolumbia vibráló és buja természetére. Jelenleg Barcelonában él, de nemzetközileg elismert illusztrátorként sem felejtette el a gyökereit. Munkáiban, erőteljes színhasználatában ma is jelen van ugyanez a csodával teli rajongás.

Between Love and Loathing
Fake dating my enemy so I can design my dream bakery should be easy ... as long as I don't fall in love with him.
Dominic Hardy might be an award-winning architectural engineer with fancy degrees and considerable accolades, but he doesn't know a thing about baking. He doesn't even like sugar. So when my late stepfather's will states that Dominic Hardy is set to inherit the Pacific C oast Resort he'd painstakingly designed, as long as my bakery can be plopped in the middle of it, it's no surprise he balks. And my jaw drops when another stipulation requires us to mutually approve plans for my bakery's design.
His stuffy taste will never mix with my whimsical vibe. But then Dominic comes to me with a proposal I can't refuse. He'll give me everything I want in my bakery as long as I agree to one thing: Fake date him for five months. Keep his ex away by pretending we're in love. Smile and stare into his piercing green eyes at a gala or two. Maybe share a kiss. Nothing extreme. Five months of acting in love when I really loathe him and his filthy mouth. Even when he's using it on me. This should be a cakewalk. Except there's a fine line between love and loathing, and I think I've made the colossal mistake of blurring it.
