Letter From Japan
In 2014, Marie Kondo became famous around the world, changed how we live, the relationship we have with the objects around us and taught us how to seek out the joy in our daily lives. Five years later, her Netflix TV show brought her teachings to an even wider audience and introduced to millions her captivating charm and serene presence. And now, another five years have passed and it's time for more surprises and more ground to be broken.
From the time Life-Changing Magic first launched and all through the years that followed, the most compelling questions and keenest interest, from media and readers alike all around the globe were grounded in one key reality: Marie Kondo's Japanese perspective. Readers and viewers were fascinated by what they learned of Marie's upbringing, her family, her early professional career and her experiences with Shintoism.
So much has changed in the world in the last decade but one constant is that the fascination with Japan is on the rise. The more people learn about Japanese culture the more entranced they become with how Japanese people often combine an ultra-modern lifestyle with a deep respect for ancient customs and traditions on every level. Finally, in Marie Kondo, we have an authentic, world-famous communicator and guide inviting us in, illuminating ancient ways of thinking and how they apply to modern lives around the globe.
Letter from Japan is an invitation to explore into customs and traditions, and how these ways of thinking have informed Marie's life and her famous life-changing tidying method.

A radical new history of energy and humanity's insatiable need for resources that will change the way we talk about climate change
*Winner of a Nouvel Observateur Award, a Fondation pour l'écologie politique Award, the Prix du jury Turgot and the Prix du Sénat du livre d'histoire 2025*
*Selected as an Economist and Financial Times Book of the Year*
It has become habitual to think of our relationship with energy as one of transition: with wood superseded by coal, coal by oil, oil by nuclear and then at some future point all replaced by green sources. Jean-Baptiste Fressoz's devastating but unnervingly entertaining book shows what an extraordinary delusion this is. Far from the industrial era passing through a series of transformations, each new phase has in practice remained almost wholly entangled with the previous one. Indeed the very idea of transition turns out to be untrue.
The author shares the same acute anxiety about the need for a green transition as the rest of us, but shows how, disastrously, our industrial history has in fact been based on symbiosis, with each major energy source feeding off the others. Using a fascinating array of examples, Fressoz describes how we have gorged on all forms of energy - with whole forests needed to prop up coal mines, coal remaining central to the creation of innumerable new products and oil still central to our lives. The world now burns more wood and coal than ever before.
This book reveals an uncomfortable truth: 'transition' was originally itself promoted by energy companies, not as a genuine plan, but as a means to put off any meaningful change. More and More and More forces its readers to understand the modern world in all its voracious reality, and the true nature of the challenges heading our way.
Adamův návrat, 3. vydání
Západní společnost má pro muže množství lákadel: peníze, moc, společenskou prestiž, vzdělání, sex – to vše vydává za sám cíl jeho existence. Přesto právě dnes je pro řadu mužů čím dál tím bolestnější nedostatek opravdového smyslu a pocit nenaplnění. Tradičním prostředkem sebenalezení, který se rozvinul u mnoha různých kultur, jsou iniciační rituály, rituály přechodu. Právě chybějící prvek iniciace považuje Rohr za jádro mnoha problémů dnešní společnosti.

The Maya Myths
The perfect introduction to the gods, heroes and ancestors of the great Maya civilization.
Highly complex and divided into politically fragmented noble houses, the Maya civilization produced a diverse and complicated mythology that varies between groups and retellings. For example, there are three different myths about the origins of the sun and moon, in one creation myth animals and objects rise up to torment humanity; whilst in another, pots shatter and speak, unleashing demons upon the people.
Elsewhere, heroes descend to the ballcourt of the underworld where trees grow fruit in the likeness of severed heads, the ancestors converse with animals and the Maize God is caught in a perpetual cycle of death and rebirth. But to the Maya these were more than fireside tales, these myths formed the foundation of their culture, weaving together their ancestral and primordial pasts into a cohesive and meaningful narrative.
In The Maya Myths Mallory Matsumoto skilfully evokes the enduring vibrancy of Maya culture, from the peak of the Maya hieroglyphic tradition in the eighth century AD, through the invasions of the Spanish conquistadors up to the present day. The book draws from texts, images and Maya oral histories, reflecting a history of contact and change, rather than a sealed-off past. The Maya region has always been fragmented, leading to a unique cultural and linguistic diversity resulting in a varied and intriguing mixture of stories. Here are well-known texts like the Books of Chilam Balam and the Popol Vuh, Spanish texts, as well as lesser-known sources. This will highlight the richness and varied nature of Maya myths, offering readers a deeper understanding of the communities that produced these captivating stories.
Applied Epistemology
Human knowledge is fundamentally social. Most of the processes by which we acquire and evaluate information in everyday life—giving and receiving testimony, identifying experts, and relying on them—involve whole communities of people. The successful use of knowledge to solve problems is thus most often a collective achievement. Likewise, the failure to leverage knowledge is seldom the fault of a single individual.Beginning each chapter with a real-life example, Applied Epistemology demonstrates how various concepts of knowledge relate to problems arising in practical contexts. From trusting testimony and recognizing experts, to acknowledging bias and resisting propaganda, Applied Epistemology teaches us how to use theories of knowledge to navigate our complex world.
Szakítós könyv - Találj magadra a traumatikus szakítás után
Szakítottak veled, és ez most valahogy más? Minden sötétebb, nehezebb és fájdalmasabb? Úgy érzed levegőt sem kapsz, mert a fájdalom ráül a mellkasodra? Nem tudod kezelni az érzelmeidet, rémálmaid vannak, és aludni sem tudsz? Elvesztetted az önbecsülésed, nem találod a helyed a világban? Azt érzed, ebből nincs kiút, elvesztél? Folyton ugyanazon a múltbéli dolgon jár az agyad és nem tudod kikapcsolni? A környezeted hiába mondja, hogy "Szedd már össze magad!", de nem megy, pedig te igazán próbálod? Mindez rendben van: a párkapcsolat lezárása traumatikusan hatott rád. Sok fontos emberi kapcsolat ér véget az életünkben, azonban egyáltalán nem mindegy, egy szakítás hogyan alakul. Gyakran értelmezzük a szakítás utáni időszakot gyászfolyamatként, ám léteznek olyan szakítások, amelyek igen mély, traumatikus sérüléseket okoznak. Szokolai Katus mentálhigiénés szakember bemutatja azokat a szakítási módokat, amelyek feldolgozásához a trauma jellemzőit érdemes szem előtt tartani. Könyvével szakszerű segítséget nyújt a nehéz élethelyzethez - tarts vele bátran, a szerző gondolatai nélkülözhetetlen útitársaid lehetnek a gyógyulás és elengedés rögös útján.

The Future of Truth
An urgent meditation on the nature of truth, by the legendary filmmaker and global cultural icon Werner Herzog
What if a lie could be true?
At the heart of this fascinating and iconoclastic book lies Werner Herzog's concept of 'ecstatic truth' - a truth that is often hidden behind the facts and our conceptions of reality but can be gleaned through the poetic imagination, in art, literature and cinema, when we open ourselves up to an aesthetic experience.
Written in Herzog's inimitable style, these stories, anecdotes and reflections take us from present-day deep fakes and the opportunities and perils of AI to ancient Egypt and Rome, where rulers resorted to lies and propaganda in the same way as governments do today; from Scott and Amundsen's race to the South Pole to alien abduction claims and the making of Herzog's own films.
With its singular vision and unique voice, The Future of Truth is a compelling meditation on the relationship between fact and fiction - evidence and imagination - by one of today's most fascinating and idiosyncratic thinkers.
The Motherhood Myth
A depth psychotherapist helps you discover your lost Self in motherhood by reimagining this transition and your place in the collective.All mothers experience a massive identity shift, but as a culture, we?ve lost touch with the myths, stories, and ancestral knowledge that once guided us through this ego explosion. As a depth psychotherapist and new mom, Vanessa Bennett has spent countless hours with female clients, couples, and herself experiencing the struggle and dissolution of Self that comes through the initiation into motherhood. By applying the principles of depth psychology, she?s found the key to disrupting the ?getting through? mentality of motherhood.Depth psychology explores the human psyche?s need to understand its place in the collective and create a differentiated sense of Self, and it?s through this lens that The Motherhood Myth helps us reclaim our sovereignty and find the larger purpose of parenting and partnership. ?By reacquainting ourselves with myths and feminine forces like Demeter and Baba Yaga, those whose traits and stories empower and guide us to understand and reclaim aspects of ourselves that we have lost touch with, lay dormant, or have been purposely cut off by society, we can finally navigate and integrate this tumultuous transition,? says Bennett.Throughout this guide, Bennett offers practical tools to help us discover and embody an unshakable sense of Self. She also provides skills and scripts to increase capacity for conflict, vulnerability, and discomfort.
Léčení našich nejhlubších ran
Psychospirituální transformace jako cesta k záchraně lidstva
Moderní terapeutické přístupy k léčení našich traumat od světově uznávaného psychiatra
„Po více než padesáti letech intenzivního studia holotropních stavů vědomí jsem dospěl k závěru, že teoretické koncepty a praktické přístupy vyvinuté transpersonální psychologií, disciplínou, která se snaží integrovat spiritualitu a nové paradigma vyvstávající v západní vědě, by mohly pomoci zmírnit krizi, které všichni čelíme.
Vědecká pozorování naznačují, že radikální psychospirituální transformace lidstva je nejen možná, ale dokonce již probíhá. Otázkou pouze je, zda dokáže být dostatečně rychlá a rozsáhlá, aby zvrátila současný sebedestruktivní směr, jímž se moderní lidstvo vydalo.“
Stanislav Grof
Výzkum vědomí, jemuž se Dr. Grof věnoval posledních pět desetiletí, ukázal, že nejhlubší kořeny traumatu často spočívají v tom, co člověk zakusil při narození nebo v událostech z historie lidstva, které dosud nebyly vyřešeny a jsou stále aktivní v kolektivním nevědomí. Tato nevyřešená osobní nebo kolektivní minulost se pak projevuje prostřednictvím jedince nebo skupiny, kteří mají k těmto dějům nějaký vztah. Tradiční terapeutické přístupy, jež se zaměřují pouze na události v osobní biografii nebo se omezují na podávání uklidňujících léků, nemají k těmto hlubším zraněním v lidské psychice přístup a neléčí je.
Z obecnějšího hlediska Dr. Grof zkoumá širokou problematiku násilí a chamtivosti ve společnosti a zjišťuje, že i strach a agrese šířící se mezi jednotlivci a skupinami mohou být z velké části důsledkem nevědomého ztvárňování nevyřešených historických traumat z kolektivního nevědomí. Doktor Grof však v této knize dává naději: máme k dispozici terapeutické přístupy, které pracují se specifickým stavem vědomí, umožňujícím přistupovat k hlubším úrovním traumat z osobního i kolektivního nevědomí a léčit je. Tento stav vědomí nazval holotropní, což je složené slovo s významem „orientovaný na celek“ či „pohybující se směrem k celku“.
Dr. Grof popisuje různé postupy k dosažení holotropního stavu a jeho využití k léčení. V knize se zaměřuje na holotropní metodu práce s dechem, kterou vyvinul se svou manželkou Christinou, a na psychedelickou terapii, jejímž průkopníkem byl v 50. letech 20. století a která nyní zažívá renesanci v klinickém výzkumu léčby závislostí a posttraumatické stresové poruchy.
Stanislav Grof, M.D., Ph.D., mezinárodně uznávaný psychiatr a spoluzakladatel transpersonální psychologie, přednášel na akademické půdě a vedl workshopy po celém světě. Působil jako vedoucí výzkumného oddělení psychiatrie v Marylandském centru psychiatrického výzkumu, dále jako odborný asistent psychiatrie na Lékařské fakultě Univerzity Johnse Hopkinse, jako scholar-in-residence na Esalenském institutu a byl předsedou Mezinárodní transpersonální asociace. Dr. Grof je významným členem fakulty Kalifornského institutu integrálních studií a autorem mnoha knih, včetně titulů LSD psychoterapie, Dobrodružství sebeobjevování, Holotropní vědomí, Knihy mrtvých, Kosmická hra, Psychologie budoucnosti, Když se nemožné stane a Lidské vědomí a tajemství smrti. Se svou manželkou Christinou Grofovou spolupracoval na knihách Nesnadné hledání vlastního Já, Krize duchovního vývoje a Holotropní dýchání.

Graveyards
An arresting and poignant cultural history of graveyards, from early burial sites to now.
Why, how and where do we inter our dead? How do we set out to remember them? The Pyramids of Giza, the catacombs and columbaria of Rome and the cenotaphs erected to the world's war dead are but some of the answers. In inimitable style, Roger Luckhurst probes the often moving, sometimes contested ways in which people throughout history have responded to the 'problem' of laying the dead to rest.
Blending history, art, literature and popular culture, Graveyards explores the various different aspects of the treatment of the dead. Chapters range from early burials and the emergence of necropolises and catacombs, to grave-robbing, garden cemeteries and the perilous overcrowding of the urban dead, to monuments for deceased heroes and rulers and the development of modern memorial culture. The products of our persistent fascination with graveyards are everywhere in literature, art, film and television, and Luckhurst engages these cultural afterlives alongside grave sites' particular social and historical contexts.
Illustrations throughout offer insights into the rich and unusual visual culture of the grave: helpful guides and provisions for the afterlife, tender dedications, gravestones and effigies sit with memento mori paintings, artistic visions of the underworld and stills from classic horror. Beautifully designed and carefully researched, this book takes a lyrical, unexpected look at graveyards as both site and symbol.
Crucible of Light
Focusing on major turning points, individual stories and key places, from Mecca to Cordoba, from Damascus to Venice, and from Vienna to Istanbul, Drayson tracks the themes that unite us – classical learning preserved in Islamic libraries, the enduring influence of Moorish architecture and design, the food we share, the goods we have traded and the continuing dialogue between individuals and cultures that has permeated Europe’s history and shaped its borders.
It is a history that sweeps across cities and continents, from Spanish patios and palaces to Ottoman-inspired coffee houses in 17th century London, to the Mezquita in Cordoba, once a mosque, now a cathedral, the physical embodiment of the ongoing discourse that continues to shape European identity.
Enchanted Creatures
The hydra rears its many heads in a flurry of teeth and poisonous fumes. The cyborg lays waste to humanity with a ruthless, expressionless stare.
From ancient mythology to modern science fiction, we have had to confront the monsters that lurk in the depths of our collective imagination. They embody our anxieties and our irrational terrors, giving form to what we don't wish to know or understand. For millennia, monsters have helped us to manage the extraordinary complexity of our minds and to deal with the challenges of being human.
In Enchanted Creatures, Natalie Lawrence delves into 15,000 years of imaginary beasts and uncovers the other-worldly natural history that has evolved with our deepest fears and fascinations. Join Lawrence on a tour of prehistoric cave monsters, serpentine hybrids, deep-sea leviathans and fire-breathing Kaiju. Discover how this monstrous menagerie has shaped our minds, our societies and how we see our place in nature.
Wildest Dream
“I look up into the falling rain, letting it splash in my face, and hope against hope that the inspiriting green can yet disturb the civilised order before it consumes everything. This is, I suppose, an activist’s prayer. May the green spill into our lives and burst out again in a hundred thousand practices of vitality, attention, and care.”What happens when we embrace wildness, as individuals and as a society? Wildest Dream poses this question, tracing the figure of the Green Man as he has passed through the ages, amongst our May festivals, church walls and peasant protest, and into emerging movements of resistance and change. Along the way we meet characters old and new, and find communities striving for a better world. While the Green Man’s story asks that we confront the violence faced by people and planet, David Gee’s enduring message is above all one of hope – a beautiful challenge to live in deeper communion with each other and the earth.
Culpable
'If anyone still doubts that 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire because successive governments took away safety measures in the name of profit, this lucid, luminously written book will put them straight' - Francis BeckettIn June 2017, a fire broke out in the 25-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in West London. 72 people died in what was the worst residential fire in Britain since World War II. Culpable is a searing indictment of the government’s role in this tragedy. For nearly four decades, the ministers responsible for public safety systematically dismantled regulations through privatisation and deregulation, enabling the contractors who made Grenfell Tower a ticking time bomb. Despite warnings from professionals (including the FBU), politicians from successive governments imposed deregulation in the name of the market and in favour of private profiteers. Meticulously researched, and drawing on the extensive findings of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, Culpable sets the record straight and challenges readers to consider the fundamental issues of power and violence that remain unresolved in the aftermath of Grenfell.
