How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling
Are you struggling to overcome failure, rise above it, and seek the path to success? For those who are having difficulty moving past failures, continue reading to learn how to deal with failure and pick yourself back up. Failure is such a debilitating feeling because we associate it with losing and with finishing. Failing does not mean that you have lost. It also doesn’t mean that you need to be prevented from moving forward because of the failure. In our high-achieving society, failure is often seen as the worst situation that one can encounter. Rather than embracing failure as a learning and growth opportunity, those who fail in some aspect of their lives will often see it as a solid barrier, telling them that they are not capable of overcoming their weaknesses. The truth is that failure is never the end of the road. It is merely an indicator that there are some parts of ourselves and our lives that we need to put more effort into to get the results that we desire. Shift your perspective and view failure as an opportunity to grow and learn. Once you see failure in this light, you can then begin to approach it with a different mindset; a mindset that will help you to transform your actions into ones that lead to success quickly.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude. L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped
1961, three years after meeting Jeanne-Claude in Paris, Christo made a study of a mammoth project that would wrap one of the city's most emblematic monuments. 60 years, 25,000 square meters of recyclable fabric, and 3,000 meters of rope later, the artists' vision finally came true. Discover their posthumous installation with this book gathering photography, drawings, and a history of the project's making. Like most of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's work, L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped is temporary and runs for 16 days from Saturday, September 18 to Sunday, October 3, 2021.
Carried out in close collaboration with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, the historic structure is wrapped in recyclable polypropylene fabric in silvery blue and recyclable red rope. The project is the posthumous realisation of a long-held dream for Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who first drew up plans to wrap the Arc de Triomphe in 1961 while renting a small room near the monument. Published as a tribute to the late artists and their lifelong partnership, the book includes original sketches, technical data, and exclusive photography, creating a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the genesis of this prodigious artwork.

Den byl pro mě krátkej
Vyrůstala v centru stalinské Prahy. Jako malá rozsvěcovala s maminkou na Karlově mostě plynové lampy, prala ve Vltavě, chodila s bandaskou pro mléko. V osadě u babičky na Slovensku poznala staré romské tradice a rodovou pospolitost a zažila nezapomenutelnou atmosféru vypravěčských a hudebních sešlostí. Naučila se, že život má naplňovat hudba a tanec stejně jako pomoc druhým, ochota dělit se, pracovitost a hrdost na romské kořeny. Tento recept předávala neúnavně desítky let dál.
Ikona romské kultury, bezmála osmdesátiletá Olga Fečová, žena s nezdolnou energií, představuje svůj život v knize, která na půdorysu individuálního osudu vypráví příběh Romů v československém prostoru. Postupně před čtenářem krystalizuje portrét silné osobnosti, jež je stálou a magnetizující autoritou pro celé generace Romů.
„Spisovatelka Olga Fečová ve své fascinující kronice vede čtenáře do slovenských hor i do pražských činžáků. V jejím líčení ožívají docela obyčejní lidé i věhlasné osobností. A nezapře, že je z muzikantské rodiny: vypráví se stejnou bravurou, s jakou někdo dokáže rozeznít housle.“ --- Jáchym Topol
„Paní Olga byla úžasná umělkyně, pedagožka a v neposlední řadě krásný člověk. Tato romská ikona nám všem byla vzorem a její kniha zůstane poselstvím pro další a další generace jak Romů, tak Neromů.“ --- Ida Kelarová
„Úžasná kniha. Žádá se mi citovat Václava Havla: Život je radostná spoluúčast na zázraku bytí. Byť se občas odehrává v temných kulisách. Olga Fečová je ovšem dokáže prosvětlit nadějí.“ --- Fedor Gál
How to Sleep
Sleep difficulties affect millions of people - and the problem is getting worse. The deluge of sleep advice out there, referred to collectively as "sleep hygiene" rules, consists mostly of isolated recommendations for things not to do, such as: Don't drink coffee close to bedtime. Don't watch TV in bed. Despite the popularity of these old rules, Dr. Rafael Pelayo tells us, sleep hygiene alone is rarely effective in helping people with serious sleep problems. We need new rules that reflect the growth of knowledge in sleep science and can effectively improve our health.
Pelayo's approach is to first take a step back and teach us how sleep works. He explains that nobody sleeps through the night; that the need for sleep is biological, but the way we sleep is learned; how much sleep you actually need each night, and that you can't get by with less. Then, once readers understand sleep and why it's so essential to our health and well-being, he offers a clear path to better sleep, with a flexible approach that will work for anyone. He offers a strategy for combatting jet lag: use your circadian rhythms to your advantage by maximising your exposure to daylight. He advises you to think of napping like snacking: snacks are fine to tide you over during long stretches between meals, but if snacking too much or too late keeps you from eating dinner, it's a problem - same goes for naps and a good night's sleep! And he cautions that alcohol is a double-edged sword: it may help you fall asleep, but it also disrupts your sleep cycle. The information in this friendly, accessible book will help readers sleep better, wake up refreshed, and have a healthier life.

The Ministry of Common Sense How to Eliminate Bureaucratic Red Tape, Bad Excuses
Where's the common sense? During the COVID-19 pandemic, the TSA is allowing passengers to board planes with unlimited amounts of hand sanitizer, while maintaining its 3.4-ounce limit on all other liquids. You need a chainsaw to pry open your new pair of headphones from their package. Your eighth Zoom meeting of the day keeps freezing, and if you hear "No, wait; no, you go first" again, you will implode. But first you have to sit through an endless PowerPoint presentation that everyone claims they've read - no one has - that could have been summarized in one page.
What has happened to common sense? And how can we get it back? Companies, it seems, have become so entangled in their own internal issues and beset by reams of invisible red tape (and frozen screens) that they've lost sight of their purpose and culture. Inevitably, we pay the price.
New York Times best-selling author Martin Lindstrom combines numerous real-life examples of corporate common sense gone wrong with his own ingenious plan for restoring logic - and sanity - to the companies and people who need it most. A must-read for today's executives, managers, and office workers, The Ministry of Common Sense is funny, entertaining, and immensely practical.
Hrob v horách
Mal to byť celkom obyčajný, hoci trocha náročný výlet do hôr, ale kamarátky Karin a Maria boli na takéto túry pripravené. No tentoraz akoby sa proti nim všetko spolčilo, najprv sa vydali zlým smerom, potom sa spustil prudký dážď a pridal sa aj nepríjemný studený vietor. A to bolo do cieľa ešte veľmi ďaleko. Vtom sa Karin nebezpečne pošmykne a rúti sa dolu svahom. Ešteže sa má čoho zachytiť – bože, ale veď to nie je konár, ani palica, ona sa drží ľudskej kosti!
Privolaná polícia na mieste činu nájde nie jedno, ale hneď šesť zakopaných tiel, lepšie povedané šesť kostier, z ktorých dve určite patrili deťom. Dve dospelé osoby sa im podarí identifikovať, no identita zvyšných štyroch zostáva záhadou. A keď si vyšetrovatelia už myslia, že našli odpoveď, vynárajú sa ďalšie otázky. Stopy nikam nevedú a vyšetrovanie sa dostáva do slepej uličky. Sebastian Bergman, ktorý je súčasťou vyšetrovacieho tímu, využíva túto situáciu aj na to, aby unikol svojej expriateľke a strávil istý čas so svojou dcérou policajtkou Vanjou. Lenže na oživenie ich vzťahu je už asi neskoro. A navyše čoskoro zistí, že do prípadu je zapojený viac, ako by sám chcel...

Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Jonathan Livingston Seagull, the most celebrated inspirational fable of our time, tells the story of a bird determined to be more than ordinary. This bestselling modern classic, reissued with a beautiful new cover design, is a story for people who want to follow their dreams and make their own rules and has inspired people for decades. 'Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight -- how to get from shore to food and back again,' writes author Richard Bach in this allegory about a unique bird named Jonathan Livingston Seagull. 'For most gulls it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight.' Flight is indeed the metaphor that makes this story soar. This bestselling modern classic is a fable about seeking a higher purpose in life, even if your flock, tribe or neighbourhood finds your ambition threatening (at one point our beloved gull is even banished from his flock). By not compromising his higher vision, Jonathan learns the meaning of love and kindness and gets the ultimate payoff -- transcendence.

What's Good
What's Good is a work of passionate lyrical analysis, a set of freewheeling liner notes, and a love letter to the most vital American art form of the last half century. Over a series of short chapters, each centered on a different lyric, Daniel Levin Becker considers how rap's use of language operates and evolves at levels ranging from the local (slang, rhyme) to the analytical (quotation, transcription) to the philosophical (morality, criticism, irony), celebrating the pleasures and perils of any attempt to decipher its meaning-making technologies.
Ranging from Sugarhill Gang to UGK to Young M.A, Rakim to Rick Ross to Rae Sremmurd, Jay-Z to Drake to Snoop Dogg, What's Good reads with the momentum of a deftly curated mixtape, drawing you into the conversation and teaching you to read it as it goes. A book for committed hip-hop heads, curious neophytes, armchair linguists, and everyone in between.
Reclaiming His Rights
A careless mistake convinced Jason that for his wife’s sake, he had to abandon the Dominant/submissive aspect of their marriage. Now, he realizes that giving up Lila’s submission was an even bigger mistake. After months of believing he rejected her, she won’t even talk about it. He’s determined to reclaim her, but he’ll have to break down her resistance before he can regain her trust.
~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Lila’s hand froze on the knob for a fraction of a second before she regained her composure.
“You know perfectly well where I’m going,” she snapped at her husband.
“You didn’t say anything to me about it.”
She whirled toward the sound of Jason’s voice, startled by how quickly and quietly he had crossed the room. Another few steps and he was beside her, leaning casually against the door she was about to open. Despite his relaxed posture, there was a keen watchfulness in his gray-green eyes that reminded her of a cat waiting for the movement that would trigger it to pounce. She turned the knob and pulled, but he held the door closed.
“Knock it off, Jason. I’m meeting the same friends I’ve been meeting every Friday. Now let me open the door.”
Without taking his hand off the door, he angled his body behind hers. She spun to keep facing him as he pivoted toward the wall. She didn’t realize she had been backing up until she felt the wall against her backside. He moved closer until she was backed completely against the wall. He waited for her to make eye contact. When she didn’t, he reached for her chin and tilted her face up toward his. She tossed her head, but he caught her chin.
“Look at me, kitten.”
Her eyes locked on his automatically. She was too busy sorting out how she felt about being called “kitten” to balk at his order. “Kitten” was a name Jason hadn’t used in nearly a year—not since the day he decided their relationship would change forever.
She tried again to jerk her chin away, but he tightened his grip. Unwilling to acknowledge the heat in his gaze, she let her eyes wander to the lock of dark hair that had fallen forward to rest rakishly over his eyebrow.
“Kitten,” Jason warned when she broke eye contact.
His voice was low and serious. She thought of it as his “I mean business” Dom's voice, and it made her shiver. She ignored the fluttery feeling in her stomach.
“Don’t call me that!”
He searched her face without responding to her demand. He expected her anger, but he was looking for something else. The arch of her eyebrows and the set of her mouth conveyed her indignation, but he knew it was her eyes that would tell him the whole story. They were large and expressive, fringed by sable lashes that shielded her gaze when her eyes were averted. Anger smoldered in their dark brown depths as she glared up at him.
She narrowed her eyes and tried to pull away, but she had nowhere to go. Undeterred, Jason shifted to insinuate his leg between her thighs. Her eyes widened in shock, and for a moment she dropped her guard. Beneath the anger, he could see pain and longing. He took his hand from the door and brushed her honey-brown hair back from her face.
“You’re staying home with me tonight, kitten.”
“You have no right to call me that!”
She pushed at his chest, but he caught her wrist and pinned it back against the wall. When she tried to pull his hand away from her chin, he caught her other hand. He gathered her wrists in one hand and held them crossed against the wall over her head, leaving his other hand free to roam.
“No right? That’s what we’re going to find out.” He ran his hand slowly down her side. “We have all night to see whether or not I still have the right.”
