The Art of Danish Living
From the author of the million-copy bestseller, The Little Book of Hygge, comes a beautifully designed guide on how to get more out of work and live like the happiest people in the world: the Danish.
We often look to the Danish lifestyle as a utopia: they enjoy long summer holidays and the cosiest, hyggelig winters, but their happiness isn’t just limited to their free time. Almost two thirds report high job satisfaction, and 58% say they would continue working even if they won the lottery. But what exactly are the ingredients of happiness at work? And how can we live more like that?
Meik Wiking, the world’s favourite happiness expert, is back with more of his wise yet simple snippets of inspiration from Danish culture, and shows us that nurturing a sense of purpose, trust between you and your manager and freedom within your role can mean more than any job title. Based on stats from his own research and designed with his trademark style, this book is sure to improve your happiness levels.
We will spend around a third of our lives at work, so why not feel happier while we do it?
A Therapeutic Journey
This is a book about how to optimise your mental health. Written with kindness and sympathy, it is a practical guide to emotional well-being, calm and psychological maturity.
Alain de Botton explores how we can cope with a variety of mental challenges, from the mild to the severe. It considers how and why we can get overly anxious or low; how we can best understand our pasts and how they shape us; and how we can build resilience, so as to live wisely alongside certain difficulties.
At heart this is a book about psychological happiness – about discovering equilibrium and meaning, and finding our way to connection and joy.
For the Culture
We all try to influence others in our daily lives. We are all marketers, whether you are a manager motivating your team, an employee making a big presentation, an activist staging a protest or a company executive selling the next big thing. In For the Culture, Marcus Collins argues that to inspire communities, we first need to think hard about how we appeal to their values and what we will contribute to their culture.
With a deep perspective based on a century’s worth of data, Collins breaks down the many ways in which culture influences behaviour. Using captivating stories from his own life as a top marketer – including spearheading digital strategy for Beyoncé, working with iTunes and Nike+ on their collaboration, and designing ads for McDonalds – he shows how you can do the same.
Full of memorable examples, from 1960s hippy culture to the enduring success of Patagonia, For the Culture offers the essential tools for creating lasting engagement and influence.

The Golden Road : How Ancient India Transformed the World
India is the forgotten heart of the ancient world.
For a millennium and a half, India was a confident exporter of its diverse civilisation, creating around it a vast empire of ideas. Indian art, religions, technology, astronomy, music, dance, literature, mathematics and mythology blazed a trail across the world, along a Golden Road that stretched from the Red Sea to the Pacific.
William Dalrymple draws from a lifetime of scholarship to highlight India's oft-forgotten position as the heart of ancient Eurasia. For the first time, he gives a name to this spread of Indian ideas that transformed the world. From the largest Hindu temple in the world at Angkor Wat to the Buddhism of China, from the trade that helped fund the Roman Empire to the creation of the numerals we use today (including zero), India transformed the culture and technology of its ancient world - and our world today as we know it.
The Story of Scandinavia
In The Story of Scandinavia, political scholar Stein Ringen chronicles more than 1,200 years of drama, economic rise and fall, crises, kings and queens, war, peace, language and culture.
Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations.
The brand we now know as "Scandinavia" is a recent invention. During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled. Under the surface of collaboration remain undercurrents of hatred, envy, contempt and pity.
What does it mean today to be Scandinavian? For the author, whose identity is Scandinavian but his life European, this masterly history is a personal exploration as well as a narrative of compelling scope.
Alexandria - The City that Changed the World
A city drawn in sand.
Inspired by the tales of Homer and his own ambitions of empire, Alexander the Great sketched the idea of a city onto the sparsely populated Egyptian coastline. He did not live to see Alexandria built, but his vision of a sparkling metropolis that celebrated learning and diversity was swiftly realised and still stands today.
Situated on the cusp of Africa, Europe and Asia, great civilisations met in Alexandria. Together, Greeks and Egyptians, Romans and Jews created a global knowledge capital of enormous influence: the inventive collaboration of its citizens shaped modern philosophy, science, religion and more. In pitched battles, later empires, from the Arabs and Ottomans to the French and British, laid claim to the city but its independent spirit endures.
In this sweeping biography of the great city, Islam Issa takes us on a journey across millennia, rich in big ideas, brutal tragedies and distinctive characters, from Cleopatra to Napoleon. From its humble origins to dizzy heights and present-day strife, Alexandria tells the gripping story of a city that has shaped our modern world.
The Notebook
We see notebooks everywhere we go. But where did this simple invention come from? How did they revolutionise our lives, and why are they such powerful tools for creativity? And how can using a notebook help you change the way you think?
In this wide-ranging story, Roland Allen reveals all the answers. Ranging from the bustling markets of medieval Florence to the quiet studies of our greatest thinkers, he follows a trail of dazzling ideas, revealing how the notebook became our most dependable and versatile tool for creative thinking. He tells the notebook stories of artists like Leonardo and Frida Kahlo, scientists from Isaac Newton to Marie Curie, and writers from Chaucer to Henry James. We watch Darwin developing his theory of evolution in tiny pocketbooks, see Agatha Christie plotting a hundred murders in scrappy exercise books, and learn how Bruce Chatwin unwittingly inspired the creation of the Moleskine.
On the way we meet a host of cooks, kings, sailors, fishermen, musicians, engineers, politicians, adventurers and mathematicians, who all used their notebooks as a space for thinking and to shape the modern world.

Stages include:
• New Beginnings
• First Love
• Loss
• Self-Discovery

Use this book to identify the right reads for the right time, and to help you find the books that will always matter to you.
Four Points of the Compass
North, south, east and west: almost all societies use the four cardinal directions to orientate themselves, to understand who they are by projecting where they are. For millennia, these four directions have been foundational to our travel, navigation and exploration and are central to the imaginative, moral and political geography of virtually every culture in the world. Yet they are far more subjective and various – sometimes contradictory – than we might realize.
The Four Points of the Compass takes the reader on a journey of directional discovery. Jerry Brotton reveals why Hebrew culture privileges east; why Renaissance Europeans began drawing north at the top of their maps; why the early Islam revered the south; why the Aztecs used five colour-coded cardinal directions; and why no societies, primitive or modern, have ever orientated themselves westwards. He ends by reflecting on our digital age in which we, the little blue dot on the screen, have become the most important compass point. Throughout, Brotton shows that the directions reflect a human desire to create order and that they only have meaning, literally and metaphorically, depending on where you stand.
The Stories of Your Life
From internationally bestselling author Ben Ambridge, The Story of Your Life shares fascinating lessons about the nature of humanity, the power of psychology and – most importantly – the way we see ourselves.
We understand the world through stories. All of our experiences, all of our insights – psychologically, we interpret them through specific lenses that have been curated, perfected and passed down throughout human history. Professor Ben Ambridge has quantified those lenses into eight distinct masterplots that can apply to any experience.
The mother who wakes up an hour early every day to prep her child's breakfast? She's playing out the Sacrifice plot. The amateur sports team who go on to win the big trophy against all the odds? They're part of the Underdog narrative.
Ambridge uses examples from fiction, real life, and popular psychology research to demonstrate how we not only naturally gravitate towards the masterplot narratives, but how we actually use those narratives to manipulate the world around us – like the addict who uses the Monster plot to paint their illness as something to overcome, or the boxer who relies on the Revenge narrative to motivate themselves to fight their way back after an embarrassing defeat.
These masterplots do more for us than to help us understand the world; they’re vehicles through which humans have survived. In showing us how our brains work, The Story of Your Life teaches us fascinating lessons about the nature of humanity, the power of psychology and - most importantly - the way we see ourselves.

Underground Empire
An explosive new vision of geopolitics from two trail-blazing political scientists
Deep beneath our feet, vast and sprawling, lies one of the most sophisticated empires the world has ever known. At first glance, it might not look like much - it is made up of fibre optic cables and obscure payment systems. But according to prominent political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, the United States has turned the most vital pathways of the world economy into tools of domination over foreign businesses and countries, whether they are rivals or allies, allowing it to maintain global supremacy.
Drawing on original reporting and ground-breaking research, Farrell and Newman explain how this underground empire has allowed the United States to eavesdrop on other countries and isolate its enemies. Now, efforts by countries such as China and Russia to untether themselves from this coercive US-led system are turning the global economy into a battle zone. Today's headlines about trade wars, sanctions, and controls on technology exports are merely tremors hinting at far greater seismic shifts beneath the surface, as we sleepwalk into a dangerous new struggle for empire.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how power is wielded today, Underground Empire weaves together tales of economic conflict, shadowy surveillance and covert infrastructure projects to explain how the world order has been brought to the brink of chaos - and how we might find a way back from the edge.

With advice on spotting insects in a range of habitats, species identification notes, a guide to attracting beneficial insects to your outdoor space, and more, this book is the ultimate wildlife-lover's companion.
Így lehetsz macska 30 nap alatt
Mi történik, ha macskaszemmel kezdjük el vizsgálni a világot és benne az életünket? Meghökkennénk, ha kiderülne, hogy a macska nyugodtabb, kitartóbb, magabiztosabb és határozottabb, mint egy átlagos ember egy átlagos napján?
A Macskabölcsesség és a Macskabölcsesség tiniknek sikerszerzője alapos megfigyelés alá vonta a macska- és az emberlét különbségeit, mindennapi szokásainkat és mániáinkat, hogy e tanulságos könyvben elmesélje kísérlete eredményeit, és segítsen eligazodnunk az önérvényesítés rögös útján - a négylábúak viselkedésmintáiból okulva. Képzeljük el, hogy kedvenc szőrgolyónk nap mint nap figyel minket, ahogy egyik tevékenységről a másikra rohanunk, sokszor haszontalan vagy akár egészségünkre ártalmas módon. Mit szól mindehhez őkelme, aki hűvös eleganciával áll ki önmaga érdekeiért? A macskák (és persze az emberek) megfigyeléséből leszűrt életmódtanácsokat Stéphane Garnier példaszerű életbölcsességgel és humorral adja vissza.
Néma Hadsereg - Wágner Levente mérnök hadnagy doni naplója
Néma hadsereg,
ahol a képek életre kelnek.
Néma Hadsereg Wágner Levente (1897-1977) I. világháborús veterán, tartalékos mérnök hadnagy hiteles doni naplója, aki SAS - behívóval a 205. munkavezető törzsével és kb. 400 fő zsidó munkaszolgálatossal utazik a hadszíntérre. A napló az 1942. szeptember 8-tól 1943. február 19-ig tartó időszakot tárja az olvasó elé. A 120 db - kiváló állapotban digitalizált, és retusált - eddig sehol nem publikált színes fénykép segítségével megelevenednek nemcsak a szenvedéssel teli mindennapok, hanem az élni akarás is.
A napló 45 év lappangás után került elő. A könyv egy megrázó haditudósítás arról, hogyan tudja az ember a legnyomorúságosabb körülmények között is megtalálni a túléléshez szükséges hitet, és reményt.
Az olvasók nagypapám izgalmas beszámolóiból megismerhetik azokat a doni eseményeket, és azt a földbe vájt világot, amelyek eddig kevéssé voltak ismertek. A színes fotókat nézve szinte megérinti az olvasókat a Don folyó felől érkező, csontig hatoló hideg szél. Vagy a kiégett épületeket látva megérezhetik a füst szagát.
A naplót olvasva és a fényképeket látva szemünk elé tárul egy eddig még nem ismert világ. Hisz ez előtt a napló előtt nem volt olyan képes beszámoló, mely ennyire pontosan nyomon követhetővé tette volna azon katonák mindennapjait, akik az utak járhatóvá tételén, a haditechnika tárolásán és a téli szálláshelyek kialakításán fáradoztak.
A haditudósítókat megszégyenítő precizitással megírt napló kézzelfogható közelségbe hozza a nyolcvankét évvel ezelőtti történéseket, és segít azokat megérteni. Wágner Levente, vagy ahogyan barátai hívták Lóci, mindenben megtalálta a szépet, ami feledtetni tudta a borzalmakat. A hazulról kapott egy kilogrammos csomagban, a "bennszülöttek" apró kedvességeiben, a táj szépségében, a cári időket idéző ortodox templomokban vagy a korabeli szovjet haditechnika újításaiban. Sose hagyta el magát, még ott kint is tanult.
Lóci gyorsírással írt le mindent, és évekkel később itthon gépelte le a naplót, melyet mi változatlan formában adunk közre. Az eredeti napló színes fényképeket nem tartalmazott, sem hadtörténeti dokumentumokat, sem térképeket. Ezeket már mi készítettük el. Amivel még izgalmasabbá, és jobban érthetővé váltak a nyolcvankét évvel ezelőtti történések.
A naplóban leírtak főbb adatai: 5390 megtett kilométer, ebből 4140 km vasúton, kb. 900 km teherautón, kb. 350 km gyalogosan. 76 helység, a 156 nap alatt számos életveszélyes helyzet. A leghidegebb napon -42 o C.
Ajánlom ez a könyvet azoknak is, akiknek a családjában voltak ilyen névtelen hősök. Ők a doni borzalmakat túlélve évtizedekig senkivel sem beszélhettek azokról a traumatikus eseményekről, melyeket ott átéltek. Legyen ez a könyv egy főhajtás előttük - hiszen 1972-ig büntetendő cselekmény volt pusztán a "doni csata" megemlítése is.
Jó olvasást kívánok ehhez a nem mindennapi könyvhöz, és tisztelet a hősöknek. Mert ahol a hősöket nem felejtik, ott mindig lesznek újak!
Rózsahegyi Barnabás
Hygge - A dán életforma művészete
Meik Wiking legújabb könyve egy gazdagon illusztrált, kutatásokkal alátámasztott útmutató, melyből megtudhatjuk, hogyan dolgozhatunk mi is úgy, mint a világ legboldogabb emberei, a dánok.
Közismert tény, hogy a dánok fantasztikus módon egyensúlyoznak a munka és a magánélet között, nem támogatják a késő estig tartó munkavégzést, a gyermek után járó szabadság egyenlő arányban oszlik meg a szülők között, és a hosszú nyári szabadság általános gyakorlat. Még a munkavégzés közben érzett elégedettségre is van szavuk: arbejdsglaede.
Eközben a nyugati világ a kiégés járványával küzd. De vajon mit csinálunk rosszul? A koppenhágai Boldogságkutató Intézet új vizsgálataira alapozva a szerző feltárja a munkában érzett boldogság fő tényezőit - célt, bizalmat, kapcsolatokat, egyensúlyt és még sok mást -, hogy megmutassa, hogyan csökkenthetjük a stresszt, hogyan növelhetjük a produktivitásunkat, és találhatjuk meg a kiteljesedést mind a munkában, mind azon kívül.
