Inspiration


Inspiration propels us. It’s the basis of every accomplishment. But the idea that it simply falls into your lap is a myth. Inspiration doesn’t come to us in a gust of wind, only to disappear into the mist again. You make it happen; it’s a reward for work that you’ve already done. The combination of perspiration and inspiration takes you to where you want to go. In this ode to what is perhaps the brain’s greatest achievement, Ap Dijksterhuis explains, with a storyteller’s verve, what inspiration is, why we have it, how it works and how to get it. Drawing upon on the most up-to-date research in neuroscience and psychology, he shows how inspiration stands in relation to creativity, motivation, curiosity and the overall functioning of the brain. Ultimately, inspiration is not a privilege granted to a talented few: everyone who chooses inspiration will benefit from it. Including you.

I Suffer Therefore I Am


In the West today, suffering has become a new sacred cow.  Once a common feature of the human condition, it is now a special trait you can use to impress your contemporaries.  It provides you with a borrowed identity, transforming you into an exceptional being who can show off on the public stage at little cost. Everyone flaunts their certificate of affliction, positioning themselves above their peers. Even those who are well-off and powerful seek to find a place in the aristocracy of the margins, creating new castes of the dispossessed at the expense of the truly unfortunate. Infused with bitterness, this cult of the victim glorifies the martyr figure and feeds into the passions of revenge and resentment.  This is the message of our age: we are all victims and entitled to feel sorry for ourselves. The submissive humanity of Christianity and the arrogant humanity of modernity have now been replaced by a victimized humanity allergic to distress.  Pampered, coddled, raised in fear and sensitivity, how will younger generations be able to confront the chaotic world that awaits them, marked by war, violence, terrorism and climate chaos?  Who will teach them the courage to endure, to face setbacks head-on, without faltering in the face of misfortune?

The Healing Power of Korean Letter Writing


Letters have been here all along, quietly influencing countless people in profound ways. They encourage, they bring happiness, while to some they even provide the will to keep on living. Geulwoll is a Korean word for 'letter'. It is also the name of a small, unassuming letter shop, located on the third floor of a shabby building in the bustling heart of Seoul. People visit from all over to write and send letters to loved ones - and to strangers. ————- Everyone likes letters. One of their charms is that we can't see what's inside right away: there's an anticipation in unsealing the mysteries held within. In The Healing Power of Korean Letter Writing, Juhee Mun reveals the lost art of the handwritten letter: how it can ground and centre us, improve and repair our relationships with others and foster a culture of contemplation, reflection and togetherness. This book is not about rules or right answers for writing letters. It is about embracing the power of what happens when you choose to carve out the time to write them.

Élet ADHD-val


Az ADHD-val élőkre gyakran pirítanak rá azzal, hogy "Igyekezz jobban!" vagy "Szedd össze magad!", pedig ezek a "jótanácsok" nem igazán segítenek. Jessica McCabe, író, színésznő és youtuber, az Élet ADHD-val című kötet szerzője leplezetlen őszinteséggel mutatja be saját példáján keresztül, milyen ADHD-val élni. A könyvből megtudhatjuk, milyen hatással van az ADHD a mindennapi életre, milyen szerepe van ebben a végrehajtó funkciók károsodásának, a figyelemszabályozási nehézségeknek, vagy éppen az elutasításra való érzékenységnek. Megismerhetjük azokat a módszereket és technikákat, amelyek élhetőbbé tették a szerző életét: a How to ADHD nevű online közösség tagjaitól származó idézetek, a jól áttekinthető fejezetek és a neurodivergens olvasóra szabott kiemelt szövegrészek segíteni fognak az érintetteknek abban, hogyan alakítsák ki hatékonyabban a környezetüket, a mindennapi rutinjaikat és hogyan tehetik szervezettebbé az életüket. A szerzőnő véleménye szerint kulcsfontosságú, hogy ne akarjunk küzdeni a természetes adottságaink ellen. A neurotipikus agy számára berendezett világban akkor képesek a neurodivergens aggyal rendelkezők is sikerrel boldogulni, ha próbálják megérteni az agyuk sajátos működését. A cél az, hogy ne ellene dolgozzanak, hanem tanulják meg, hogyan tudnak együttműködni vele.

Autorita věřícího


Máme snad autoritu, o níž nemáme tušení? Autoritu, kterou jsme doposud neobjevili a kterou nepoužíváme? To jsou otázky, které si Hagin často kladl již jako mladý kazatel. V knize Autorita věřícího říká: „Tu a tam jsem zahlédl letmý záblesk duchovní autority. Stejně jako všichni ostatní jsem na ni čas od času narazil a uplatňoval ji, aniž bych rozuměl tomu, co vlastně přesně dělám. Na základě svého studia jsem došel k závěru, že jako Církev máme na zemi autoritu, o jejíž existenci nikdo z nás doposud neměl tušení. Někteří z nás se k ní tak tak přiblížili, ale než se Ježíš znovu vrátí, bude tu již celý zástup věřících, kteří povstanou v autoritě, která jim náleží… a díky tomu budou schopni vykonat dílo, které pro ně Bůh připravil. V této knize také objevíte: • Pavlovy modlitby • Co je to autorita • Jak zrušit ďáblovu moc • Boží zbroj • Jak uplatňovat autoritu v Kristu

Partyzánské otazníky aneb co ukryla válka


Publikace Partyzánské otazníky aneb co ukryla válka se soustřeďuje na vyvrcholení partyzánské činnosti v Protektorátu Čechy a Morava během posledních měsíců druhé světové války v Evropě. Závěrečný díl knižní trilogie není ani monotematický, ani obsahově tolik sevřený jako publikace předchozí. Přináší řadu krátkých, informačně nabitých kapitol, které rámují příběh partyzánských skupin na Moravě v období jejich vrcholné činnosti, tj. od porážky Slovenského národního povstání do českého povstání v květnu 1945. Některé z příběhů nebyly záměrně zařazeny do prvních dílů, některé vykrystalizovaly až na základě studia archivního materiálu poté. V každém případě je jejich zveřejnění přínosem v interpretaci problematiky partyzánského hnutí v protektorátu jako takovém. Toto téma je ostatně historiky stále pomíjeno a přehlíženo, stejně jako problematika domácího komunistického odboje. Střípky příběhů, které jsou obsaženy v publikaci Partyzánské otazníky aneb co ukryla válka dokreslují původní načrtnuté příběhy, zasazují je do pevnějšího rámce – a to vše na pozadí dramatických posledních měsíců druhé světové války, kdy partyzánské hnutí dosáhlo co do počtu aktivních skupin i co do počtu jejich bojových střetů s nepřítelem, destrukcí a sabotáží absolutního vrcholu. Kniha obsahuje odkazy na archivní materiály, bohatou fotografickou dokumentaci (cca 85 fotografií), seznam zkratek, odkazy na použité prameny a literaturu. V knize jsou zaznamenány i autentické výpovědi, dnes již zemřelých účastníků uvedených akcí. Kniha je volným pokračováním knih Partyzánská odysea a osud Věry Pilařové (2012) a Partyzáni Vysočiny a krvavý konec války (2015). Kniha prošla jazykovou úpravou a odbornou recenzí historikem PhDr. J. B. Uhlířem, Ph.D., z Prahy.

Frontový deník


V únoru 1944 osvobodila Rudá armáda ukrajinskou Volyň, kde žila početná česká menšina. Tisíce mužů a žen následně vstoupily do československé armády, aby bojovaly za osvobození rodné země svých předků. Byl mezi nimi i učitel Václav Kalcovský, který byl jako kancelářský rotmistr přidělen k oddílu samohybných děl, z něhož se později stal 3. tankový prapor. S ním se následně účastnil tažení do Československa – prošel boji na Dukle, v Polsku a při osvobozování Ostravy. Nevzpomíná ale jen na střety s Němci, popisuje každodenní život vojáků na frontě a v týlu či soužití s obyvateli v oblastech, kterými procházeli. A také na své velitele, mezi nimiž nechybí Hrdina Sovětského svazu Richard Tesařík, a na příjezd do Prahy, jež ale nebyla taková, jakou ji očekávali. Následně se se svým praporem podílel na konsolidaci pohraničí na severní Moravě, načež odešel ke své předválečné profesi. Rozsáhlé vzpomínky doplňuje na 250 unikátních fotografií a dokumentů, které přibližují i osudy dalších, dnes již téměř zapomenutých československých účastníků druhé světové války.

Ungovernable


The instant Sunday Times Bestseller and a Guardian and Financial Times Book of the Year. ‘A remarkable insight into a critical moment. Hart’s wit and tolerance makes his record of a system in crisis all the more convincing and troubling’ – Rory Stewart, author of Politics On the EdgeFrom Partygate to Brexit, over the course of five years, Simon Hart had a front-row seat to the most turbulent times in recent political history. Lifting the lid on the British Government, Ungovernable is the first insider account of life as chief whip. The Russian invasion of Ukraine, Brexit negotiations and Liz Truss’s extraordinary forty-nine-day premiership – Simon Hart’s seen and heard it all. And starting in 2022, under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, he witnessed successive dramas unfold, all while holding down the (often misunderstood) position of chief whip. Astonishingly, during those whip years, Simon oversaw a near-record fifteen Conservative MPs fall by the wayside. Three of these were resignations, including Nadine Dorries and the scandal of her disappearing peerage; two were defections to Labour; and the remaining ten were suspended by Simon for offences ranging from Matt Hancock’s unauthorized appearance on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! to Lee Anderson’s comments about the London Mayor. Each one of these involved an extensive build-up, a complicated process and a noisy and vitriolic public commentary. None of this stopped him from becoming one of the few chief whips – of which there have been eleven since 2010 – to survive for an entire premiership. In a first-of-its-kind, extraordinary look at life as a chief whip, Ungovernable is a revealing, real-time, blow-by-blow account – offering a glimpse of what truly goes on in Westminster behind closed doors.

The Care Dilemma


A FINANCIAL TIMES AND THE SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR''Important'' Financial Times''Serious and thought-provoking'' The Critic''Brave'' Richard ReevesFamily life has changed dramatically over the past 60 years.Greater choice and autonomy, especially for women, and a more equal domestic sphere have brought great gains for human freedom. However, argues David Goodhart, there have been losses and unintended consequences too – in family instability, children’s declining mental health, and the ever-rising demands on the welfare state and social care system. Sharply falling birthrates also present major challenges.For many people, especially in the bottom half of the income spectrum, the costs are now too high. The Care Dilemma argues that we need a new policy settlement that supports gender equality while also recognising the importance of stable families and community life, and that sees having children as a public as well as private good.
