'Every page of this incredible memoir by Christie Tate had me thinking, "I wish I had read this book when I was 25. It would have helped me so much!"'
Reese Witherspoon
'This unrestrained memoir is a transporting experience and one of the most startlingly hopeful books I have ever read. It will make you want to get better, whatever better means for you.'
Lisa Taddeo, New York Times bestselling author of Three Women
For fans of Three Women and Everything I Know About Love comes arefreshingly original memoir about self-discovery, loneliness and love. A guarded young lawyer reluctantly joins a psychotherapy group where she has to share her innermost thoughts with six complete strangers. In turn she finds human connection, and herself.
"What's going to happen to me when I start group?"
"All of your secrets are going to come out."
Christie Tate has just been named the top student in her law school class and seems to finally have got her eating disorder under control. So why is she driving through Chicago fantasising about her own death?
Desperate, she joins Dr Rosen's psychotherapy group, and through his unconventional methods, he challenges everything she thought she knew, about herself and others. In group, secrets are not allowed. This means telling a group of strangers everything - about her struggle with bulimia, her failed sex life, her overwhelming sense of loneliness and acute longing for a relationship. And as she keeps sharing her thoughts and feelings and listens to the others doing the same, her life slowly begins to change.
This is a deliciously compelling read, and an intimate journey through the daring, exhilarating, painful, and hilarious journey that is group therapy - a process that breaks you down, and then reassembles you so that all the pieces finally fit.
Praise for Group
'This book will remind you how to come back to yourself even when you want to give up, make you laugh, make you cry, help you breathe. This book will save lives' Lidia Yuknavitch
'Real transformation is not for the faint of heart, and in these pages Christie Tate captures her evolution in all its misery and hilarity, along with the beauty of bearing witness to one another as we grow.' Sarah Hepola
Dopisy od panenky
Na lavičce v parku sedí holčička a pláče. Ztratila panenku. Franz Kafka, který se svou družkou Dorou Diamantovou právě pobývá v Berlíně, si děvčátka všiml a chce je utěšit: Holčička svou panenku neztratila, to panenka se sama od sebe vydala na cesty, on tu její panenku potkal a ona mu slíbila, že bude holčičce ze svých cest psát. Protože ale holčička ještě neumí číst, bude dopisy posílat jemu, Franzi Kafkovi, a on jí bude dopisy od panenky při svých procházkách po parku předčítat. To se skutečně událo.
Švýcarský autor Jürg Amann tyto dopisy nalezl, jak alespoň tvrdí, dostaly se k němu složitými oklikami. Nebo je spíš vynalezl? To tušíme my. Ať tak nebo tak, my je zde otiskujeme úplně poprvé.
Je to literární hra na schovávanou pro mladé i staré, velké i malé, plná skrytých i méně skrytých narážek, a hlavně plná útěchy pro každého, kdo někdy v životě ztratil panenku nebo cokoli, co mu bylo drahé.
Světová premiéra!
Tato knížka je na základě autorova přání poprvé vydána tiskem v češtině, německé vydání teprve bude následovat. Rukopis půvabného textu hned po jeho dokončení nabídl Jürg Amann nakladatelství ARCHA.
Tahle knížka by neměla být nijak dovysvětlována, sama o sobě by měla být jakýmsi vysvětlením. Pro dítě na jeho dětské úrovni, pro dospělého, literárně zaujatého a vzdělaného čtenáře na úrovni literárních skrývaček, v každém případě by měla přinášet radost - každému v té literární rovině, v jaké ji hledá.
Nicholas Murray: Kafka, české vydání, Jota, Brno 2006
A právě v té době Kafka s Dorou na jedné ze svých procházek místním parkem potkali malou holčičku, plačící, že ztratila panenku. Kafka, kterého utrpení malých dětí vždy dojímalo, jí řekl, že panenka se neztratila, ale vydala se na cestu a píše mu z ní dopisy. Nevěřící dítě mezi slzami požádalo o důkaz a Kafka slíbil následujícího dne jeden z dopisů přinést. Doma dopis velmi pečlivě sepsal a druhý den se vrátil a přečetl ho holčičce. Stálo v něm, že panenku přestalo bavit žít pořád ve stejné rodině a chtěla jen změnit prostředí. Kafka pokračoval v psaní těchto každodenních dopisů po téměř tři týdny. (...) Pro Kafku bylo typické nejen to, že se dítě snažil utěšit, ale také to, jak úzkostlivě přitom dbal na každý detail.

From famous pictures such as Marilyn singing "Happy Birthday Mr. President" to John F. Kennedy to lesser known shots such as those from her divorce proceedings with Joe DiMaggio, this book provides fans of Marilyn Monroe with a definitive summary of her many romances, glamorous life, and tragic end.

Lavinia
'Like Spartan Helen, I caused a war. She caused hers by letting men who wanted her take her. I caused mine because I wouldn't be given, wouldn't be taken, but chose my man and my fate. The man was famous, the fate obscure; not a bad balance.' Lavinia is the daughter of the King of Latium, a victorious warrior who loves peace; she is her father's closest companion. Now of an age to wed, Lavinia's mother favours her own kinsman, King Turnus of Rutulia, handsome, heroic, everything a young girl should want. Instead, Lavinia dreams of mighty Aeneas, a man she has heard of only from a ghost of a poet, who comes to her in the gods' holy place and tells her of her future, and Aeneas' past... If she refuses to wed Turnus, Lavinia knows she will start a war - but her fate was set the moment the poet appeared to her in a dream and told her of the adventurer who fled fallen Troy, holding his son's hand and carrying his father on his back...

A Thousand Brains
A bestselling author, neuroscientist, and computer engineer unveils a theory of intelligence that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain and the future of AI.
For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence?
Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world—not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.
A Thousand Brains heralds a revolution in the understanding of intelligence. It is a big-think book, in every sense of the word.

She's running out of time and about to make a disturbing discovery...there's more than one killer.

Zvěrolékař srdcem i duší
Známý a oblíbený veterinář Jan Herčík, spoluautor již pěti úspěšných knih, které napsal v tandemu s Alenou Hrachovcovou, o této knižní novince říká: „Společně se vám pokusíme náladu vylepšit příběhy z ordinace veterinárního lékaře. Příběhy, které jsou někdy veselé, někdy k zamyšlení, a u některých možná ukápne i slzička.
Naše první knížka Proč je báječné být zvěrolékařem vyšla již před deseti lety a zájemci se mě na ni stále dotazují. Následoval cestopis Zvěrolékaři na cestách. Po něm knihy Zvěrolékař vzpomíná a Zvěrolékař v akci. Poslední Zvěrolékař léčí a zvířata uzdravují je díky vám, milí čtenáři, stejně jako ty předcházející, zcela rozebrána, a pokud je mi známo, další dotisky se neplánují.
Z tohoto důvodu, a snad i pro množství dotazů, které často dostávám (,Kdy vyjde další pokračování, pane doktore?‘ a ,Žádný předchozí díl už opravdu nemáte?‘), vznikla knížka šestá, a vlastně poslední, kterou právě začínáte číst. Proto jsme, vzhledem ke zde uvedenému, některé příběhy převzali z knížek předchozích. Ale většinou jsou zde nové, které přinesl život a které se odehrály na Veterinární klinice v Horoměřicích.
Přejeme vám, milí čtenáři, ať se vám knížka líbí, a jestli vám dokážeme alespoň trošku zlepšit náladu, pak z toho budeme mít radost i my.“

Proměna farnosti
My nepotřebujeme slyšet o Ježíšovi. Chceme hrát karty! Udeřila pěstí do stolu a všichni lidé v sále zmlkli Tváře farníků vyjadřovaly spravedlivé uznání, že dotyčná řekla nahlas to, co chtěli říct i všichni ostatní.
Když se rozkřiklo, že hodlám zabrat na pondělní večery farní sál, aby se tu mohl konat evangelizační program zvaný kurzy Alfa, vyvolalo to takový poprask, že jsem musel svolat mimořádné zasedání farní rady. A místo abych od záměru ustoupil, stál jsem si jako novokněz umíněně za svým. Neměl jsem ani jinou možnost.
Bůh naší maličké farnosti během oněch prvních pokusů oslovit i ty, kdo do kostela nechodí, nesmírně žehnal. Do roka k nám o pondělních večerech přicházelo víc než sto lidí, aby se seznámili s nabídkou evangelia. Lidské životy se začaly proměňovat. Konflikt vzniklý kvůli hře v karty za to stál. (zkráceně z úvodu Dům z karet)
Církev dostala jako hlavní úkol získávat učedníky, potažmo misionáře, a vycházet s radostnou zvěstí ke všem lidem. A to by mělo být někde vidět: v programech farností, ve finančních rozpočtech, v personální politice. Kanadský kněz James Mallon nabízí řadu podnětů, jak dospět k tomu, aby se farnosti začaly probouzet.
Kniha Proměna farnosti se stala záhy po vyjití bestsellerem, je překládána do mnoha jazyků a autor je zván na semináře doma i v zahraničí.
