Our obsession with land is the driving force behind human history. It has sparked revolutions and fuelled economic booms as well as financial crises. Land is the world's oldest and most important asset, and it governs the course of our lives more than any other form of wealth. But this immense power is also what makes it so dangerous. In The Land Trap, The Economist's Wall Street editor Mike Bird reveals a sweeping, global history that shows how fortunes have been built - or destroyed - all on the bedrock of land. It has become the linchpin of the world's banking system and it affects everything from soaring housing prices to geopolitical tensions. From the speculative land grabs of colonial America to China's modern-day real estate crisis, this gripping narrative shows how the economics of land can make and break families, businesses, and even entire nations. This is the book for anyone who wants to see beyond markets and money to the hidden game being played out on the ground beneath our feet.

Do you repeatedly defer life to later, convinced there will come a time when you'll be better prepared to seize its opportunities? Do you spend your best hours on chores or trivia before allowing yourself to get to what most matters to you? The real mystery of procrastination is why we avoid goals to which we're passionately committed. It's understandable that we'd put off cleaning the fridge or completing our tax return; but why do we swerve a loved one, a vocation, a hobby, or a new life that feels supremely meaningful to us? Simon May argues that the almost universal consensus around overcoming procrastination - setting priorities and optimizing time management: working "smarter not harder" - might work for the boring things but is of little use when it comes to treasured goals that we're avoiding. Jump! proposes seven radically new ways in which we can overcome this life-sabotaging procrastination. May claims that, for all their pain, the regret and boredom created by procrastination can shine the brightest light on our top priorities, either reaffirming our commitment to them or teaching us that we're on the wrong path. This is the unexpected blessing of procrastination: that it offers hope of becoming ourselves.

In Eight Million Ways to Happiness, Hiroko Yoda invites readers on a deeply personal and transformative journey into the spiritual heart of Japan. While millions have found inspiration in ideas like ikigai or The Courage to Be Disliked, Hiroko reveals the deeper traditions that quietly shape Japan's culture, drawn from Shinto, Buddhism, and the mountain mysticism of Shugendo. These aren't abstract philosophies. They are living practices that integrate so seamlessly with modern secular life, even natives can forget they are there. Reconnecting with them helped Hiroko find light after profound loss - and realise that they offer powerful tools for anyone seeking meaning, connection or peace in their own life. Through vivid storytelling and immersive experiences - dancing at Shinto shrines, climbing sacred peaks, and meeting mystics - Hiroko shows how Japan's flexible approach to spirituality helps kindle gratitude, connection and kinship with nature. What emerges are practical insights and gentle guidance to spark joy, find balance, and discover what truly matters. Whether you're grieving, searching, or simply curious, this book is a reminder: there are millions of ways to be happy. You just have to find yours.

We are constantly told to make the most of our time: to stop procrastinating, to 'optimise' and be efficient with every precious hour.

Drawing on groundbreaking new research, neuroscientist Dr Joseph Jebelli reveals the simple and easy steps to change your life for the better, including how: · Napping and gentle exercise can enhance brain size · Spending time in nature can boost creativity and problem-solving skills · Silence fosters the growth of new brain cells Blending science and personal stories with practical tips, The Brain At Rest is the life-changing guide to living a happier, healthier – and ironically, more productive – life.

Find Your Passion. Love Your Work. Build a Richer Life. What's your dream? It's a simple question, but one which very few of us ever really think about. From early on, we are taught that there's only one path to getting ahead: do well at school, get a certain kind of job, and avoid failure at all costs. We're so busy trying to follow these rules that we never stop and ask ourselves: What's my purpose? What do I really want? Do I have the power to make it happen? Simon Squibb is on a mission to change people's lives for the better. In his bestselling business book, What’s Your Dream?, he shares the hard-won life lessons from his years in the business world plus his own personal life, from facing homelessness as a teenager to selling a multi-million pound business, and now inspiring a new generation of budding entrepreneurs. What’s Your Dream? will empower readers to identify their own meaningful goals, to remove the barriers that stand in the way, and ultimately to build a richer life. Because sometimes, it just takes one person to believe in you...

We all feel it: something is seriously wrong. Our attention-that essential ability to give our minds and senses to the world-is being trapped, gutted, and sold out from under us by an industry of immense technological and financial power. The heedless exploitation of this vital capacity by a handful of tech companies is harming us all, reducing our very selfhood to that which can be quantified, bought, and sold-and shaking the foundations of our democracy. To push back against this 'human fracking,"'we need more than individual willpower or isolated efforts. We need a movement of collective resistance. Such a movement is beginning to bloom, and in this radical, first-of-its-kind guide, The Friends of Attention show us how to join the fight. We meet welders, nurses, poets, and surfers, all of whom are engaged in attentional practices. We learn to seek out sanctuaries-theatres and museums, houses of worship, dance parties-where together we can take refuge from the frackers. Drawing on a rich legacy of critical intellectuals and the creative wisdom of diverse traditions, Attensity! takes our apocalyptic present, turns it on its head, and reveals new vistas of human flourishing.

How do you balance kindness and competence in the workplace? How can you get the success you deserve, earn credit for your accomplishments, and navigate complex office politics without antagonising your colleagues? Over decades of research, behavioural scientist Alison Fragale encountered these recurring questions from high powered and early career women alike, determining that many women's workplace issues boil down to the perception of others. No degree, title, or paycheck will raise a woman's workplace stature unless it also affects how other people respect and regard her. Acknowledging this roadblock, Fragale pulls back the curtain on how we can change how others see us by developing our standing as a "likeable badass." By cultivating perceptions of warmth and assertiveness, women can achieve the kind of reputation that leads to a seat at the table and a fulfilling career path. Likeable Badass is equal parts behavioural science and life hacks, weaving together rigorous research with actionable advice and impactful stories from a diverse array of women. This is a warm, heartening book written for women of all stripes, as well as their allies, who want evidence-based, practical strategies for success, served with a side of inspiration and humour.

Since the inception of the Secret Service Bureau back in 1909, women have worked at the very heart of British secret intelligence - yet their contributions have been all but written out of history. Now, drawing on private and previously-classified documents, leading historian Claire Hubbard-Hall brings their gripping true stories to life. From encoding orders and decrypting enemy messages to penning propaganda and infiltrating organisations, the women of British intelligence played a pivotal role in both the First and Second World Wars. Prepare to meet the true custodians of Britain's military secrets, from Kathleen Pettigrew, personal assistant to the Chief of MI6 Stewart Menzies, who late in life declared 'I was Miss Moneypenny, but with more power', to Jane Archer, the very first female MI5 officer who raised suspicions about the Soviet spy Kim Philby long before he was officially unmasked and Winifred Spink, the first female officer ever sent to Russia in 1916. In Her Secret Service, Hubbard-Hall rescues these silenced voices and those of many other fascinating women from obscurity to provide a definitive account of women's contributions to the history of the intelligence services.

Have you ever considered that you might be addicted to anxiety?

Tackle: Discover vital techniques for breaking the underlying habits and patterns. Move forward: Learn strategies for navigating setbacks or relapses on the road ahead.

Aký máte sen? Jednoduchá otázka, o ktorej však hlbšie uvažuje len málokto. Od detstva nás učia, že v živote sa dostaneme d’alej iba jediným spôsobom – ak sa budeme dobre učit’, ak získame slušne platenú prácu a ak sa za každú cenu vyhneme zlyhaniu. Tak vel’mi nás zamestnáva dodržiavanie týchto pravidiel, že si nikdy nepoložíme otázku: Aké je moje poslanie? Čo naozaj chcem robit’? Dokážem to zrealizovat’? Simon Squibb, podnikateľ, ktorý v pätnástich začínal od nuly a bez strechy nad hlavou, sa za vyše dvadsať rokov pôsobenia v podnikateľskej sfére rozhodol podporovať ľudí v tom, aby vykročili za svojím snom. Začal oslovovať ľudí na ulici s otázkou, aký majú sen, a ak bol zmysluplný a začínajúci podnikateľ mal reálny plán a najmä skutočné zanietenie na rozbehnutie svojej firmy, pomáhal mu nielen dobrými radami, ale často aj finančným príspevkom alebo ako investor. Táto kniha však nie je len pre začínajúcich podnikateľov. Simon Squibb dáva skvelé rady aj zabehnutým podnikateľom, ako rozširovať podnikanie, ako prijímať tých správnych ľudí a zbavovať sa tých, ktorí nemajú rovnaký cieľ ako firma, v ktorej pracujú, ako prekonať ťažkosti, no aj ako svoje podnikanie efektívne ukončiť.

Prinášame prehľad zmien odvodov od 1. 1. 2026. Uvádzame nový minimálny a maximálny vymeriavací základ, poistné vypočítane z tohto základu aj výšku minimálnych preddavkov do zdravotnej poisťovne. Od 1. januára 2026 vstupujú do platnosti významné legislatívne zmeny, a to najmä týkajúce sa oblasti sociálnych a zdravotných odvodov v zmysle tzv. „konsolidačného balíčka verejných financií“. Okrem každoročnej úpravy poistného plateného do zdravotných poisťovní a Sociálnej poisťovne z dôvodu medziročnej zmeny priemernej mzdy v hospodárstve SR (z 1 430 eur na 1 524 eur), Titul Odvody poistného 2026 obsahuje: · Pracovnoprávny vzťah na základe pracovnej zmluvy · Pracovnoprávny vzťah na základe dohôd o prácach vykonávaných mimo pracovného pomeru · Samostatne zárobkovo činné osoby (SZČO) · Spoločníci, konatelia, členovia štatutárnych a iných orgánov právnických ODVODY POISTNÉHO Pre samostatne zárobkovo činné osoby (SZČO) a dobrovoľne poistené osoby (DPO) platia od 1. januára 2026 nové minimálne a maximálne vymeriavacie základy pre platenie poistného na sociálne poistenie. Minimálny mesačný vymeriavací základ na platenie poistného sa pre SZČO, DPO a dodatočné doplatenie poistného na dôchodkové poistenie od 1. januára 2026 zvyšuje z 50 % na 60 % jednej dvanástiny všeobecného vymeriavacieho základu platného v kalendárnom roku, ktorý dva roky predchádza kalendárnemu roku, za ktorý sa platí poistné (t.j. na 60 % priemernej mesačnej mzdy za kalendárny rok, ktorý dva roky predchádza kalendárnemu roku, v ktorom sa platí poistné na sociálne poistenie). Nový maximálny vymeriavací základ na rok 2026 bude určený naďalej vo výške 11-násobku priemernej mesačnej mzdy, avšak platnej za rok 2024, t. j. 1 524 eur x 11 = 16 764 eur (do 31. 12. 2024 bol maximálny vymeriavací základ vo výške 15 730 eur). Maximálne poistné vypočítané z tohto vymeriavacieho základu pre povinne poistenú SZČO bude 5 557,26 eur. Oproti predchádzajúcemu roku SZČO zaplatí maximálne mesačné odvody na sociálne poistenie teda vyššie o 342,77 eura. Dobrovoľne poistená osoba si naďalej sama určuje vymeriavací základ, z ktorého platí poistné na dobrovoľné poistenie, pričom tento nesmie byť nižší ako minimálny vymeriavací základ a ani vyšší ako maximálny vymeriavací základ platný v danom roku. Takáto osoba, ktorá je dobrovoľne poistená dôchodkovo, nemocensky a v nezamestnanosti, platiaca poistné na sociálne poistenie z maximálneho vymeriavacieho základu platného od 1. januára 2026 (16 764 eur) bude mať mesačné poistné na sociálne poistenie vo výške 5 892,54 eur. Oproti predchádzajúcemu roku DPO zaplatí maximálne mesačné odvody na sociálne poistenie vyššie o 363,45 eura. S účinnosťou od 1. januára 2026 sa zákonom č. 153/2025 Z. z., ktorým sa mení a dopĺňa zákon č. 595/2003 Z. z. o dani z príjmov ustanovuje, že príjem plynúci za výkon činnosti trénera zapísaného do registra fyzických osôb v športe sa v úhrnnej sume najviac 300 eur mesačne oslobodzuje od dani z príjmov. Vzhľadom k skutočnosti, že vymeriavací základ pre platenie poistného na verejné zdravotné poistenie sa viaže na základ dane, uvedená zmena ovplyvní aj vykazovanie poistného na verejné zdravotné poistenie.
