The Happy Brain
'Funny, wise and absolutely fascinating.' Adam Kay, author of This Is Going to Hurt
Do you want to be happy?
If so - read on.
This book has all the answers*
In The Happy Brain, neuroscientist Dean Burnett delves deep into the inner workings of our minds to explore some fundamental questions about happiness. What does it actually mean to be happy? Where does it come from? And what, really, is the point of it? Forget searching for the secret of happiness through lifestyle fads or cod philosophy - Burnett reveals the often surprising truth behind what make us tick. From whether happiness really begins at home (spoiler alert: yes - sort of) to what love, sex, friendship, wealth, laughter and success actually do to our brains, this book offers a uniquely entertaining insight into what it means to be human.
*Not really. Sorry. But it does have some very interesting questions, and at least the occasional answer.

Fruit of Knowledge
From Adam and Eve to pussy hats, people have punished, praised, pathologised and politicised vulvas, vaginas, clitorises, and menstruation. In the international bestseller Fruit of Knowledge, celebrated Swedish cartoonist Liv Stroemquist traces how different cultures and traditions have shaped women's health and beyond.
Her biting, informed commentary and ponytailed avatar guides the reader from the darkest chapters of history (a clitoridectomy performed on a five-year-old American child as late as 1948) to the lightest (vulvas used as architectural details as a symbol of protection). Like Alison Bechdel and Jacky Fleming, she uses the comics medium to reveal uncomfortable truths about how far we haven't come

There Are No Grown-Ups
The best-selling author of BRINGING UP BÉBÉ investigates life in her forties, and wonders whether her mind will ever catch up with her face.
When Pamela Druckerman turns 40, waiters start calling her "Madame," and she detects a new message in mens' gazes: I would sleep with her, but only if doing so required no effort whatsoever.
Yet forty isn't even technically middle-aged anymore. And there are upsides: After a lifetime of being clueless, Druckerman can finally grasp the subtext of conversations, maintain (somewhat) healthy relationships and spot narcissists before they ruin her life.
What are the modern forties? What do we know once we reach them? What makes someone a "grown-up" anyway? And why didn't anyone warn us that we'd get cellulite on our arms? Part frank memoir, part hilarious investigation of daily life, There Are No Grown-Ups diagnoses the in-between decade when...
• Everyone you meet looks a little bit familiar.
• You're matter-of-fact about chin hair.
• You can no longer wear anything ironically.
• There's at least one sport your doctor forbids you to play.
• You become impatient while scrolling down to your year of birth.
• Your parents have stopped trying to change you.
• You don't want to be with the cool people anymore; you want to be with your people.
• You realize that everyone is winging it, some just do it more confidently.
• You know that it's ok if you don't like jazz.
Internationally best-selling author and New York Times contributor Pamela Druckerman leads us on a quest for wisdom, self-knowledge and the right pair of pants. A witty dispatch from the front lines of the forties, THERE ARE NO GROWN-UPS is a (midlife) coming-of-age story--and a book for anyone trying to find their place in the world.

The Passion Economy
An indispensable roadmap and a refreshingly optimistic take on our economic future: Award-winning New Yorker staff writer and brilliant creator of NPR's Planet Money shows us how the 21st century economic paradigm offers unprecedented opportunities for curious, ambitious individuals to combine the things they love with their careers.
From 'Focus on Intimacy at Scale' to 'Find Your Valuable Five Percent' and 'The Harder Your Core Customer Is to Reach, The Better You Will Do', Adam Davidson lays down the Ground Rules for success in the new economy.
Drawing on inspiring case studies - a sweatshop-owner's daughter fighting for better working conditions, an Amish craftsman meeting the technological needs of his fellow farmers - as well as the latest academic research, he shows us how the twentieth-century economy of scale has given way in this century to an economy of passion.
Davidson's special talent for breaking down daunting economic terminology and making theory accessible have won him not only respect as an economics guru but also most of broadcast journalism's highest honours. In this breath-of-fresh-air book, he inspires us all to see that with intimacy, insight, attention, automation, and of course, passion, we can succeed in this new economic world.

Mert szülni karácsonykor kell - Az Ez fájni fog szerzőjétől
Adam Kay, a ma már Magyarországon is rendkívül népszerű exorvos komikus az Ez fájni fog című könyve után "karácsonyi különkiadással" jelentkezik. A szerzőtől megszokott módon, rövid csípős humorú naplóbejegyzések révén mulattat és gondolkodtat el egyszerre. Naplóbejegyzéseiből a munkája iránti elkötelezettség, a kezdő orvos parányi bizonytalansága, a méltatlan és sokszor megalázó helyzetekből magát frappánsan kivágó ember ereje, kitartása, és vérbő, nyelvi szinten is sziporkázó szellemesség süt át.

Sosem zöldebb
"Életünk javát azzal töltjük, hogy azt kívánjuk, bárcsak valahol máshol, vagy mások lennénk, várunk valamire, vagy a múlton kérődzünk. Mindig azt képzeljük, hogy a másik oldalon zöldebb a fű. De sosem zöldebb. Változatlanul fű, épp csak egy másik darabka. Ez minden."
A múlt szokása, hogy a nyomunkra bukkan, és elgáncsol.

A királynő férjet keres
"Lélegzetelállítóan gyönyörű." - Shh Mom's Reading
Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook hercegnőnek nem éppen átlagos gyerekkora volt. Arra nevelték, hogy királynő legyen - Wessco első királynője. És ez nagy dolog.
Amikor tizenkilenc évesen megkoronázzák a gyönyörű fiatal trónörököst, ő készen áll arra, hogy uralkodjon. Elbűvölő, okos, magabiztos és leleményes.
Viszont nem házas.
Márpedig a tanácsadóinak ez az elsődleges szempontja. Ez az, amit a parlament megkövetel, és amit a nép akar.
Lenora nem vágyik arra, hogy hozzáláncolja magát egy férfihoz - pláne olyanhoz, aki csak a korona miatt van vele. De néha muszáj egyezséget kötni, és eleget tenni a kötelezettségeknek.
Még a királynőknek is. Különösen a királynőknek.
A New York Time bestsellerszerzője, Emma Chase ezúttal egy édes és szexi, különálló fenséges történettel örvendezteti meg olvasóit.

Fatima titkai
A Vatikán 2000 júniusában hozta nyilvánosságra a "harmadik fatimai titkot". A három pásztorgyermek látomásában egy idősödő pápa jelent meg, aki "a gondok súlya alatt görnyedve" "egy félig lerombolt, nagy városon ment keresztül", és akit végül meggyilkoltak. Sokáig mindenki úgy hitte, hogy a titok csak a múltra vonatkozik; a látomásban a XX. század szörnyű háborúinak és keresztényüldözésének szimbolikus megjelenítését látták, amelynek csúcspontja a II. János Pál pápa ellen 1981. május 13-án, az első fatimai jelenés 64. évfordulóján elkövetett merénylet volt.
Most, 2017-ben, a jelenések 100. évfordulóján újabb értelmezést nyerhet Fatima profetikus küldetése. Korunk keresztényellenes erői nemcsak általában az emberi civilizációnak üzentek hadat, hanem kifejezetten Európának és "Rómának". A veszély egyre közelebbi. A Szűzanya 100 évvel ezelőtti intése ma is figyelmet érdemel.
A német történész és újságíró nemzetközileg ismert munkásságának egyik legidőszerűbb könyvét tartja kezében az olvasó. A szerző XII. Piusz pápáról írt könyve (A pápa, aki szembeszállt Hitlerrel) 2013-ban két kiadásban jelent meg a Magyar Nyugat Könyvkiadónál."

Greek Mythology
The Greek myths have a universal appeal, reaching far beyond the time and physical place in which they were created. But many are firmly rooted in specific settings: Thebes dominates the tragedy of Oedipus; Mycenae broods over the fates of Agamemnon and Electra; Knossos boasts the scene of Theseus' slaying of the Minotaur; Tiryns was where Heracles set out from on each of his twelve labours. Here, the reader is taken on a tour of 22 destinations in Greece and Turkey, from Mount Olympus to Homer's Hades, recounting the tales from Greek mythology and the history associated with each, evoking their atmosphere and highlighting features that visitors can still see today. Drawing on a wide range of Classical sources, with quotations newly translated by the author and freshly illustrated with specially commissioned drawings, this book is both a useful visitor's guide to famous sites connected with Greek mythology and an enthralling imaginative journey for the armchair traveller.

Dant draws on the history, culture, and geography of each city and on the beguiling aesthetic of antique maps to create gorgeous works of cartographic art. Witty, insightful, and adorned with a gold foil stamped cover, this book will capture the imaginations of travelers, map enthusiasts, history buffs, and dreamers.
