Emočná svižnosť: Ako prijímať zmeny a byť sám sebou
Všetci zápasíme s pochybnosťami, neistotou a obavami z toho, ako zvládame svoj osobný život, vzťahy či prácu. Mnohí tieto negatívne myšlienky povýšia na presvedčenie. Cítia, že svoje emócie nemajú pod kontrolou. Práve naopak, emócie ovládajú ich.
Susan David, uznávaná psychologička z Harvardovej univerzity, predstavuje spôsob, ako zvládať životné výzvy s otvorenou mysľou a dosiahnuť ciele, po ktorých túžite. Vychádza z viac ako 20-ročného výskumu a skúseností z praxe.
Zistila, že aj najšťastnejší ľudia čelia rovnakým obavám a prekážkam ako ktokoľvek iný. Rozdiel je iba v tom, že sa naučili odpútať od neužitočných vzorcov myslenia a správania a dokážu so svojimi emóciami pracovať. Ak však ľudia svoje emócie ignorujú, uviaznu na mieste a nedokážu sa pohnúť ďalej – bez ohľadu na to, akí sú inteligentní, odolní či kreatívni.
Emočná svižnosť je proces, ktorý vám umožní prispôsobiť sa novým okolnostiam a žiť naplno. Objavte praktické nástroje, ako prekonať neistotu a reagovať na životné výzvy s rešpektom k svojim emóciám a hodnotám.

On Antisemitism
What do we mean when we talk about antisemitism? A thoughtful, vital new intervention from the award-winning historian
'An immense contribution... In tracing the evolving meaning of 'antisemitism,' [Mazower] demonstrates persuasively how we might turn it from a weapon back into a word... Rigorous and lucid' - Lily Meyer, The New Republic'
For most of history, antisemitism has been understood as a menace from Europe's political Right, the province of blood-and-soil ethno-nativists who built on Christendom's long-standing suspicion of its Jewish population and infused it with racist pseudo-science. Such threats culminated in the nightmare of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.
The landscape is very different now, as Mark Mazower argues in this piercingly brilliant book. More than four-fifths of the world's Jews now live in Israel and the United States, with the former's military dominance of its region guaranteed by the latter while the loudest voices decrying antisemitism see it coming from the Left not the Right.
Mazower clearly and carefully shows us how we got here, seeking to illuminate rather than blame. Very few words have the punch of 'antisemitism' and yet no term is more liable to be misunderstood in ways affecting free speech and foreign policy alike. On Antisemitism is a vitally important attempt to draw a line that must be drawn.

The Economic Government of the World
From a leading economic historian, this is the history of the institutions and individuals who have managed the global economy, from the World Monetary and Economic Conference in the wake of the Great Depression to the present
Since the Second World War, organisations created at Bretton Woods - the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development - and afterwards - the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - have left an indelible mark on our contemporary world.
Martin Daunton examines the swings of the pendulum over ninety years between the forces of democracy, national determination and globalization. He shows that the structures of economic government have been overwhelmingly shaped by 'first world' powers, often to the dismay of developing countries. He argues that whilst structures cannot be separated from the politics of and between the biggest economies, future global recovery rests on the reduction of inequality and that multilateral institutions are fundamental in fostering inclusive growth.

Praktický úvod do stavebního práva
Tato kniha má za cíl provést čtenáře „bouřlivými vodami“ územního plánování a stavebního řízení, vysvětlit užívané pojmy, obvyklé postupy, ale také smysl a účel užitých institutů, pohledy institucí, stavebníka, dotčených osob i veřejnosti.
Její záběr je široký, územním plánováním počínaje a realizací konkrétního stavebního záměru konče. Dále se výklad věnuje tématům nepovolené a neoprávněné stavby, dovolené architektonické provokaci či možnosti umístění výstavby do ochranných pásem lesa, letiště, střelnice, vysokého napětí apod. Vše je přitom vysvětleno srozumitelně i pro laickou veřejnost.
Publikace je tak určena těm, kteří sami nejsou experti na územní plánování a stavební řízení – tj. notářům, advokátům, daňovým poradcům, developerům, realitním makléřům a kancelářím či vlastníkům a správcům nemovitého majetku, projektantům, architektům, stavitelům, donátorům stavebního umění a dalším.
Dealing with Feeling
From Marc Brackett, director of the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence, comes a life-changing guide for regulating how we respond to our emotions in order to transform our lives.
Think back to your most challenging moment - whether in your career, relationships or personal life. Did you lose control from anger? Were you paralysed by fear? Did you isolate yourself due to humiliation?
Whatever your reaction, your emotions most likely determined what you said, or did, next. But the way we handle our emotions is not, as many believe, an involuntary part of ourselves - it is a skill that must be taught and refined throughout our lives. And there's no such thing as a 'bad' emotion - only the emotions we don't fully understand or haven't yet learned to channel in positive, intentional ways.
In Dealing with Feeling, Marc Brackett shares his own journey of emotional growth, explores the latest science behind our emotions and offers practical techniques to help you nurture healthy relationships, tackle life's challenges and enhance your mental wellbeing.
Life may be unpredictable, but how you respond doesn't have to be. With the transformative techniques in Dealing with Feeling you will learn to become the best version of yourself.
Against the Machine
How a force that's hard to name, but which we all feel, is reshaping what it means to be human
In Against the Machine, "furiously gifted" (The Washington Post) novelist, poet, and essayist Paul Kingsnorth presents a wholly original-and terrifying-account of the technological-cultural matrix enveloping all of us. With insight into the spiritual and economic roots of techno-capitalism, Kingsnorth reveals how the Machine, in the name of progress, has choked Western civilization, is destroying the Earth itself, and is reshaping us in its image. From the First Industrial Revolution to the rise of artificial intelligence, he shows how the hollowing out of humanity has been a long game-and how your very soul is at stake.
It takes effort to remain truly human in the age of the Machine. Here Kingsnorth reminds us what humanity requires: a healthy suspicion of entrenched power; connection to land, nature and heritage; and a deep attention to matters of the spirit. Prophetic and poetic, Against the Machine is a spiritual manual for dissidents in the technological age.
Jak číst příběh stromu
Autor bestsellerů Tristan Gooley čtenářům otevírá brány do málo známého světa stromů, ale i do říše zázraků v přírodě všude kolem nás. Stromy k nám mluví. Sdělují důležité informace o tom, co mají společného s půdou, vodou, člověkem a jinými živými tvory, s počasím i během času. A také o svém životě, o dobrém i špatném, co zažily či zažívají. Stromy nám chtějí vyprávět, my se však musíme naučit číst jejich příběhy.
V knize Jak číst příběh stromu odhaluje Tristan Gooley na první pohled skryté stopy, klíče a znamení. Učí nás číst ve větvích a listech stromu, v jeho kůře, pupenech a květech, dokonce i v jeho pařezu. Je někde poblíž voda? Potýká se strom s nějakými problémy? Jak podle kůry poznáme nový růst? Co nám říká tvar stromu, jeho větví nebo listí naváté u paty kmene?
Každý strom je jedinečný – žádné dva nejsou úplně stejné, podobně jako sněhové vločky nebo ostatně i my, lidé. Každý rozdíl odhaluje napínavý příběh, který strom prožil. Stačí se jen zastavit a pozorně se dívat.

If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies
AI is the greatest threat to our existence that we have ever faced.
The scramble to create superhuman AI has put us on the path to extinction - but it's not too late to change course. Two pioneering researchers in the field, Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares, explain why artificial superintelligence would be a global suicide bomb and call for an immediate halt to its development.
The technology may be complex, but the facts are simple: companies and countries are in a race to build machines that will be smarter than any person, and the world is devastatingly unprepared for what will come next.
Could a machine superintelligence wipe out our entire species? Would it want to? Would it want anything at all? In this urgent book, Yudkowsky and Soares explore the theory and the evidence, present one possible extinction scenario and explain what it would take for humanity to survive.
Společnost spotřeby a její mýty
Společnost spotřeby je výstižný popis našeho novodobého otroctví, otroctví bezmezného konzumu, kterému je bezvýhradně podřízen diskurz soudobého západního světa.
Společnost spotřeby je jedním ze zásadních děl soudobé sociologie. Svým významem se řadí mezi díla, jako jsou Durkheimova Společenská dělba práce, Veblenova Teorie zahálčivé třídy nebo Osamělý dav Davida Riesmana.
Společnost spotřeby s pronikavou jasností ukazuje, jak velké technokratické korporace vyvolávají tužby, jimž nelze odolat, a vytvářejí novou společenskou hierarchii, která nahradila někdejší třídní rozdíly.
The Finest Hotel in Kabul
A sweeping and immersive history of modern Afghanistan - the first book from one of the world's leading war correspondents.
In 1969, the luxury Hotel Inter-Continental Kabul opened its doors: a glistening white box, high on a hill, that reflected Afghanistan's hopes of becoming a modern country, connected to the world.
Lyse Doucet first checked into the Inter-Continental on Christmas Eve 1988. In the decades since, she has witnessed a Soviet evacuation, a devastating civil war, the US invasion, and the rise, fall and rise of the Taliban, all from within its increasingly battered walls. The Inter-Con has never closed its doors.
Now, she weaves together the experiences of the Afghans who have kept the hotel running to craft a richly immersive history of their country. It is the story of Hazrat, the septuagenarian housekeeper who still holds fast to his Inter-Continental training from the hotel's 1970s glory days - an era of haute cuisine and high fashion, when Afghanistan was a kingdom and Kabul was the 'Paris of Central Asia'. Of Abida, who became the first female chef after the fall of the Taliban in 2001. And of Malalai and Sadeq, the twenty-somethings who seized every opportunity offered by two decades of fragile democracy - only to see the Taliban come roaring back in 2021.
Through these intimate portraits of Afghan life, the story of a hotel becomes the story of a people.

The Burning Earth
In this paradigm-shifting global history of how humanity has reshaped the planet, and the planet has shaped human history, Sunil Amrith twins the stories of environment and Empire, of genocide and eco-cide, of the expansion of human freedom and its costs. Drawing on an extraordinarily rich diversity of primary sources, he reckons with the ruins of Spanish silver mining in Peru, British gold mining in South Africa, and oil extraction in Central Asia. He explores the railways and highways that brought humans to new terrains of battle against each other and against nature. Amrith’s account of the ways in which the First and Second World Wars involved the massive mobilization not only of men, but of other natural resources from around the globe, provides an essential new way of understanding war as an irreversible reshaping of the planet. He also reveals the reality of migration as consequence of environmental harm.
The imperial, globe-spanning pursuit of profit, joined with new forms of energy and new possibilities of freedom from hunger and discomfort, freedom to move and explore, has brought change to every inch of the Earth. Amrith relates, on the largest canvas, a mind-altering epic – vibrant with stories, characters, and vivid images – in which humanity might find the collective wisdom to save itself.
When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows...
Steven Pinker, one of the world's greatest thinkers and bestselling author of Enlightenment Now, The Better Angels of Our Nature and The Language Instinct, reveals the power and perils of thinking alike
As a cognitive scientist, the ultimate subject of Steven Pinker's fascination is how we think about each other's thoughts, ad infinitum. It sounds impossible, but Steven Pinker shows that we do it all the time. This awareness, which we experience as something that is public or "out there," is called common knowledge, and it has a momentous impact on our social, political, and economic lives.
Common knowledge, Pinker shows, can make sense of many of life's enigmas: financial bubbles and crashes, revolutions that come out of nowhere, the posturing and pretence of diplomacy, the eruption of social media shaming mobs and academic cancel culture, the awkwardness of a first date. But people also go to great lengths to avoid common knowledge-to ensure that even if everyone knows something, they can't know that everyone else knows they know it. And so we get rituals like benign hypocrisy, veiled bribes and threats, sexual innuendo, and pretending not to see the elephant in the room.
In exploring the paradoxes of human behaviour, When Everyone Knows that Everyone Knows… invites us to understand the ways we try to get into each other's heads, and the harmonies, hypocrisies, and outrages that result.
No Is Not a Lonely Utterance
A moving exploration of the solace and power of listening in an unjust world, from the author of The Feminist Killjoy Handbook
'Behind many disasters are unheard complaints'
To complain is an intimate, dangerous act. Whether it's speaking up about racism in the workplace or taking a stand against sexual harassment at university, the act of complaining to an institution can leave you isolated and undermined, all while the original injustice remains unresolved. Time and time again, we see these unanswered complaints compound to disastrous effect.
In No is Not a Lonely Utterance, Sara Ahmed dissects the anatomy of a complaint, revealing how institutions create hostile environments that stigmatize complainers, and charts a way we can listen to grievances with 'feminist ears': going beyond mere validation and seeking instead to address the root causes of injustice and inequality.
Weaving together testimonies from various walks of life, Ahmed shows us what we learn about the ways institutions exercise their power when complaints are raised, and indeed what we learn about our capacity to collectivize and create social bonds through complaint. In doing so, she inspires us to create better environments for our life's work.
Super Agers
A detailed guide to a revolution transforming human longevity -- a breakthrough moment in the history of human health care -- from one of the most respected medical researchers in the world.
In this breakthrough moment in the history of human health care, Super Agers is an evidenced-based guide to the revolution transforming human longevity. From his unique position as a leader overseeing millions in research funding, Dr Topol explains how you can benefit from new the treatments becoming available at a faster rate than ever, and the fundamental reasons - from semaglutides to AI - that we can be confident these breakthroughs will continue.
More than a quarter of the adult population lives with two or more chronic diseases, with that figure increasing to over half in individuals aged 65 and older. Dr Topol explains the power of the new approaches to the worst chronic killers - diabetes/obesity, heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration-and how treatments can begin long before middle age, and even long after. In thirty years, we will have five times as many people at least one hundred years old and they will be healthier than ever because of the breakthroughs Super Agers describes.
These remarkable discoveries are deeply inspiring about our human potential. We can now realistically see how we can make considerable headway for preventing age-related diseases and may one day be able to slow the body-wide aging process itself.
