The Curious Mind of Elon Musk


When someone is very different, we struggle to place them. We venerate them, we revile them, or we put them in a box labeled “flawed genius”—anything that spares us the effort of seeing the world as they do. No one embodies this more than Elon Musk, especially after his foray into politics. He lives in the spotlight, yet he remains an enigma.   The Curious Mind of Elon Musk is an ideas-driven biography that seeks to understand Musk in his own terms. Drawing on influences from science, engineering, and literature, Charles Steel traces Musk’s core beliefs across nine themes from the meaning of life to artificial intelligence. What emerges as Musk’s defining quality is his obsessive curiosity—borne of existential anxiety, nurtured by an extreme rationality, and unleashed in the building of multiple companies over three decades. If you prefer to imagine Musk as a savior of humanity or as a fabulist with a penchant for the far right, then that is what you will see. But if you care to look deeper into what makes Musk different, the curiouser and curiouser he becomes.

Life After Ambition


Channeling the subversive and sharp-eyed voice showcased in her popular column for The Cut, Amil Niazi stylishly interrogates the aspirations of young adulthood, early middle age, motherhood, and life after ambition. Building off her wildly popular viral essays “Losing My Ambition” and “The Mindfuck of Mid-Life,” Amil Niazi explores what life looks like “post-ambition.” With sly humor and a deep literary sensibility, she interrogates her own evolving ambitions, and how it intersects with adulthood, motherhood, age, identity, class, and race, and how it has shaped her and a generation of Millennials. And—most importantly—now that she is done with ambition: what happens next? An achingly relatable, intensely funny punch to the gut which reveals that, though we hide them from one another, we all have the same painful bruises. At its core, Losing My Ambition is about optimism—about the joy of choosing something different and the thrill of finding ourselves when we thought all was lost. A whip-smart reimagination of how to live our lives, Losing My Ambition reclaims mediocrity to tell us that it is okay to NOT have ambitions but to try and live a life that is true to who we are.

First on Everest


In 1999 my expedition found George Mallory’s body on Mount Everest. The intense public interest in his tragic fate obscured the other actors in that dramatic story.The pioneers who attempted the first climbs in 1922 and 1924 knew nothing about the mountain other than its height. They had to learn the hard way about the lack of oxygen, the jet-stream winds, the illnesses of altitude, and the vital importance of the Sherpas. They fought cerebral oedema, frostbite, hypothermia and raging thirst in the cold, thin air. They had to find a route, avoid avalanches, and work out what to do when confronted by an insuperable rock climb at extreme altitude. Many of them died.Howard Somervell was Mallory''s closest friend on the mountain in 1922 and 1924. He was an exceptionally gifted man: he had a double first at Cambridge, he was a talented artist and an accomplished musician. He served as a surgeon at the Battle of the Somme during the First World War and was one of the foremost alpinists of the day when he was invited to join the 1922 Mount Everest expedition. After Everest he was awarded an Olympic gold medal for Alpinism in 1924. But in India he will be remembered as a surgeon who dedicated the remainder of his life to healing the sick.Those pioneers showed the way. Somervell took part in the first attempt to climb the mountain, and his oxygen-free height record in 1924 stood for over 50 years. On his descent he sat down alone suffocating from a frost-bitten larynx. He prepared to die, but at the last moment performed a medical manoeuvre which cleared his airway. He survived to struggle back down.Howard Somervell was my cousin, and I am one of the last Everesters left alive to have spoken with a climber from George Mallory’s party.

Be Patient


'Darkly funny as well as deeply shocking, [Be Patient] is an antidote to This is Going to Hurt... This is what it's like to be on the other side of Britain's hospital wards' -The Times'Tilly writes beautifully, with such compassion... the insight that she gives the reader is astonishing.' -Donna Ashworth, poet and author of Wild Hope and Growing Brave'A story of perseverance, the importance of advocating for yourself and how the kindness of strangers can have a huge impact... A lesson to us all on what it is to have hope, even when we are at our most depleted. Shocking, brave and raw.' - Giovanna Fletcher, author, podcaster, actress and activist'What a sensational read. A real, heartfelt, and insightful look into the lived experience of someone managing their chronic health issues.' -Dr Nighat Arif, author of The Knowledge'I found this book both heartbreaking and uplifting all at once. A true story of resilience, hope and unwavering courage. A reminder to us all that life is worth living and that love really can conquer all.' -Frankie Bridge, presenter and author of Open'An inspiring account of a patient journey. Recommended for all.' -Dr Ed Patrick, comedian and author of Catch Your Breath'Nothing short of a literary miracle... I loved it.' - Abi Morgan (OBE), screenwriter and author of This is Not a Pity Memoir***It's the sleepover from hell that no one prepared you for. The doctors have gone to medical school, the nurses have gone to uni - but what about the patient? e Patient is a warm, darkly comic account of Tilly's desperate search for a diagnosis, against the backdrop of a hilariously funny, heartfelt and, at times, shocking insight into patient life. A 'medical mystery' for over 20 years, Tilly has spent a lifetime navigating GP waiting rooms, A&E departments and hospital wards. She has been given a front row seat watching humanity at its worst (or its best, depending on how you look at it). Along the way, she has become highly qualified at two things: being a patient and being very patient. Now, she is shining a bright hospital strip light onto a space that none of us want to occupy but one we know, with some certainty, that we will. Complete with 'survival tips' and fuelled with humour (the best medicine of all), Be Patient is an extraordinary memoir on resilience, hope and finding strength in the face of adversity.

Enough Said


THE INSTANT #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'Alan Bennett is our greatest living writer' Daily Mail'A legend of British letters' Financial Times'In an age of curated self-belief, his vulnerabilities feel refreshing, his reticence almost radical' The Times20 September. Have a notion for a radio series - Awkward Conversations. Enough Said is Alan Bennett's fourth collection of diaries and prose.

He looks back to childhood and recalls an idyllic wartime month as an evacuee. A book for the bedside, this is poignant, funny, contemplative Alan Bennett, as he records life both personal and political in his most distinct of voices.

William Blake and The Sea Monsters of Love


Named a BOOK OF THE YEAR by The Times and Sunday Times, New Statesman, Spectator, Prospect, and New Yorker. ‘Undoubtedly Hoare’s masterpiece’ Olivia Laing ‘Queer in all senses of the word’ Neil Tennant ‘A life-changing book’ Robert Douglas Fairhurst, The Times ‘Fabulously idiosyncratic’ Lucy Hughes-Hallett, New Statesman ?How one visionary inspired 200 years of art, poetry, and protest. Weaving between the historical, cultural and personal, award-winning author Philip Hoare reveals a web of creative minds and artistic iconoclasts fired with the wild and revolutionary genius of William Blake. In 1973, Derek Jarman set off from London to film the stones of Avebury. He was following in the footsteps of Paul Nash, who had photographed the ancient megaliths a generation before. Standing in that muddy field, by those stones, both artists had felt a direct connection to their hero – a man who had died a long, long time ago, yet who remained electrically alive to them. In this alluring and poetic odyssey, Philip Hoare traces the enduring legacy of William Blake and how he came to inspire so many creative lives. Reaching out of his past and into our future, Blake draws together the natural world and metaphysical realms, merging the human and the animal and the spiritual, firing up twentieth-century artists, filmmakers, poets, writers and musicians with his radical promise of absolute freedom. This stirring, deeply felt book brings us back to Blake and shows that art still has the power to create positive change. ‘A book that is neither Blake biography nor critical analysis nor legacy-tracing nor personal odyssey but a capacious mixing of them all … a joyful and dizzying romp’ Philip Marsden, Spectator ‘This love letter to William Blake couldn’t be more eccentric … Philip Hoare’s weird and wonderful style soars in this study of the poet and his disciples’ Ian Sansom, Telegraph ‘Hoare’s impassioned style, alive with metaphor and wordplay, has often been called “dreamlike”. This is apt, given his total immersion in his subject … Nothing will be as audacious or intriguing as William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love’ Jenny Uglow, Times Literary Supplement

Shocking LIfe


‘I merely know Schiap by hearsay. I have only seen her in a mirror. She is, for me a kind of fifth dimension.’ – Elsa Schiaparelli Elsa Schiaparelli is one of the most celebrated fashion designers of the twentieth century. Recognized for her unique creative vision, which combined a love of art and mysticism with ingenious design talent and wit, her collaborations with Surrealist artists, affluent and famous clientele, and innovative – yet wearable – designs set ‘Schiap’ apart from her contemporaries.  With a cast of characters that includes Coco Chanel,  Salvador Dalí, Daisy Fellowes and Eva Perón, Shocking Life is a lively, idiosyncratic and fascinating account of the life and career of Elsa Schiaparelli  – in her own, inimitable voice. This deluxe edition, illustrated with a selection of some of her most iconic designs, takes us from her somewhat conventional childhood in Rome, where she was surrounded by academics and aristocrats, through the establishment of her couture house during the turbulence of the 1920s, on to her dominance of 1930s fashion, and the fate of her house during World War Two.

Bless Me Father


A searingly honest memoir from Dexys’ iconic frontman, one of the great mavericks and creative geniuses of British music. At home, the prayerful eight-year-old altar boy was planning to attend college to train to be a priest. Elsewhere, he was thieving, lying, swearing, fighting and rarely out of trouble. In this astonishing memoir, Kevin takes us from the juvenile courts of his troubled teenage years to the early days of the New Romantic scene in the late ’70s. An unwavering passion for music and highly tuned sense of fashion and style ignited an unstoppable drive within him, compelling him down a path that led to his huge chart successes with Dexys Midnight Runners in the early 1980s. However, despite being celebrated as a creative genius, inner turmoil was never far away, and a terrifying series of self-sabotaging events were to follow – including a serious cocaine addiction – leaving him in the wilderness in the 1990s, bankrupt, living in a bedsit, on the dole. Always resilient in the face of adversity, after a massive upheaval Kevin found his way back. He charts his return journey, from shocking audiences with his pioneering embrace of gender fluidity with My Beauty, right through to Dexys’ triumphant appearance at Glastonbury in 2024. Vividly detailed, and with a truly rare degree of self-insight, this is Kevin's own, deeply personal account of an extraordinary life, raw and unvarnished. A remarkable memoir, as compelling and original as you would expect from one of the pioneering icons of music history.

Marilyn And Her Books


'Just when we thought we could not love Marilyn more, Crowther deepens and complicates our devotion, allowing us to see her clearly at last - and lay her to rest with the respect she has always deserved' JOHN O'CONNELL,, author of Bowie's Books: The Hundred Literary Heroes Who Changed His LifeTimed to the 100th birthday of Marilyn Monroe, and with the full cooperation of the Monroe estate, comes an investigation into the literary life of the Hollywood icon and actress, from the author of Three-Martini Afternoons at the Ritz and Dorothy Parker in Hollywood. Far from the spotlights of the Hollywood film sets and the flashbulbs of the press, Marilyn Monroe was a great reader and lover of books. Her association with writers did not stop at reading their words on the page. She was, of course, briefly married to one of America's best-known playwrights, Arthur Miller, and met a number of other writers who moved in his literary world. But she also met authors independently of Miller, many of whom were fans of her films and keen to meet her. Through her deep research, Crowther delves into Marilyn's personal collection of books and recounts some of these meetings, like the time Monroe shared an apartment with Shelley Winters in West Hollywood, where they entertained Dylan Thomas and Christopher Isherwood for drinks (probably several drinks), after which Monroe arranged for Thomas to meet his childhood hero, Charlie Chaplin. Or when Life magazine arranged for Monroe to be interviewed by Dame Edith Sitwell at the Sunset Tower Hotel, and Sitwell was both charmed and blown away by Monroe's intelligence. Marilyn And Her Books: The Literary Life of Marilyn Monroe charts how Monroe, who left high school before graduation, embarked on an impressive and progressive program of self-education, hungry for knowledge, and devouring books as an active and engaged reader. Her personal library reflects this enquiring mind. In 2026, for her centenary, this book showcases Marilyn Monroe, the reader. Because at the end of her life, it was not her jewels or her furs, her shoes, or dresses that she cared about. It was her books.

You with the Sad Eyes


'Lively and at times harrowing' New York Times'Unvarnished' Rolling Stone'Candor and intelligence thread throughout her memoir ... Applegate evokes the hijinks of fame - there are more celebrity cameos here than in a Josh Safdie film - as well as her journey through chronic illness' Time'Blunt ... without a filter ... not a safe, prim thing. It's raw and angry, lyrical and funny, and more than a bit dangerous. [Christina Applegate] charts the personal and career ups and downs of a veteran Hollywood comic actor with a rawness rarely found in today's memoirs...' Washington Post'Christina Applegate has written the most devastating celebrity memoir of the year' IndependentUnflinchingly honest and darkly funny, You with the Sad Eyes unveils a side of Christina Applegate we've never seen, forever cementing her formidable and iconoclastic legacy. Christina Applegate came of age on sets and stages, expected to be on time, with lines learned, ready for lights-camera-action. What started as a financial necessity soon became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 70s and 80s. She rocketed to stardom on the sitcom Married...with Children and went on to captivate audiences in classics like Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead..., Anchorman, and Dead to Me in her five-decade long career. Then it all stopped. A Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in 2021 confined her to a king-sized bed and the company of memories she'd rather forget: memories of the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that stalked her meteoric rise, of her mother's fight against addiction and abuse after her father left, and of the tax life had taken on her body and mind that was suddenly coming due. Now, at her most intimate and vulnerable, she unveils a story not even those closest to her fully know. She returns to the diaries she kept her whole life, finding the pain matched by joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, and the weight of life lifted by her unrelenting belief that something greater lay ahead. No longer willing to lock herself away and with the perspective only our own mortality can bring, she knew it was imperative to tell it all. You with the Sad Eyes presents a remarkable woman and her legacy. In her own words, "I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That's why I'm doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won't be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life. So here I am. Real me. Lots to say."

Light Falls on Everything


My father’s heart, and my mother’s, can still break. In this most essential way, they are still themselves. They are still here. To stay together until the end was the deepest wish of Rebecca McClanahan’s elderly, frail parents. So when the two of them could no longer care for themselves, Rebecca and her siblings moved them from Indiana to North Carolina, where she and her husband assumed the roles of “first responders” with support from the extended family. Over the course of her parents' final years, Rebecca discovers that the landscape of dementia isn’t entirely bleak if we can hold on long enough to rediscover in our loved ones the essential selves we feared were lost. Light Falls on Everything takes us inside the intimate rooms of long-term caregiving, where exhaustion, confusion, heartbreak, and grief can shadow the most ordinary days. Still, light flickers in even the darkest corners, revealing moments of tenderness, laughter, absurdity, surprise, and unrelenting love. Emotionally gripping and unstintingly honest, this memoir invites us to reflect on the timeless nature of love and loss and, with it, the unexpected lessons of caregiving: how to move forward into our own uncertain futures, accept grief as a longtime companion, and approach death with some measure of grace.

Čítanie o slávnych osobnostiach je mnohokrát inšpirujúce. Motivujú nás biografie slávnych umelcov, známych hercov alebo významných politikov.

Absolútne prvou biografiou všetkých čias je zrejme Excellentium Imperatorum Vitae, ktorú napísal grék Cornelius Nepos a opisoval v nej životy viacerých gréckych vojenských generálov. Neskôr mal už skoro každý významný vodca svoju biografiu, vrátane Cicera, Júliusa Cézara alebo Alexandra veľkého.

Pri čítaní životopisných kníh máme jedinečnú možnosť sledovať dlhú cestu, ktorú museli títo slávni ľudia prejsť. Uvidíme množstvo pádov a chýb, kvôli ktorým sa ale tieto osoby nevzdali a zobrali ich ako príležitosť zlepšiť sa vo všetkyćh oblastiach. Mnoho v sebe skrývajú aj úprimné rozhovory, ktoré sú často otvorenými vyznaniami a v tejto kategórii nájdete isto aj knihu o človeku, ktorého považujete za svoj vzor a je pre vás inšpiráciou.

Môžete si vybrať, či budete čítať o danej osobe z pohľadu iného človeka, alebo či siahnete po autobiografii. Obidve možnosti majú svoje čaro.

Je všeobecnou pravdou, že dobrá kniha môže ovplyvniť smerovanie nášho života. Pri biografickej literatúre to platí stonásobne, pretože v ruke držíme príbeh reálneho človeka, z ktorého môžeme čerpať mnoho inšpirácie a tipov.

Nájdete tu biografie z oblasti biznisu, filmu a hudby, histórie, literatúry, športu, mafie a podsvetia, náboženstva, politiky, osobností vedy a umenia.
