Stačí to povedať
Koľkí z nás začínajú pravidelne konverzáciu výrazmi ako „prepáč, že ťa ruším“, alebo „ukradnem ti iba chvíľu“? Zdanlivo neškodné, zdvorilé frázy, v ktorých sa v skutočnosti skrývajú kognitívne pasce ničiace efektivitu. To isté platí pre určité frázy a ustálené slovné spojenia, ktoré počúvame od detstva – „ak to neurobíš, maminka bude smutná“, „no a čo, že to chceš, vieš, čo všetko by som chcel ja a nemám to?“ – a ktoré na nevedomej úrovni pôsobia ako kliatby na náš život a negatívne ho ovplyvňujú.
Paolo Borzacchiello, jeden z najväčších odborníkov na lingvistickú inteligenciu, hovorí, že: “Náš život je výsledkom jazyka, ktorý používame v rôznych kontextoch v konverzáciách sami so sebou alebo s inými. Ak budeš používať čistý a konštruktívny jazyk a zbavíš sa fráz a slov, ktoré ti ubližujú bez tvojho vedomia, zmeníš sa doslova na lepšiu verziu seba samého. Nehovorím o ezoterike ani o blúznení v štýle pozitívneho myslenia – hovorím o neurónových sieťach, o mozgových štruktúrach a o kvalitnom stavebnom materiáli, z ktorého si môžeš postaviť nanovo seba samého a svoj život. Môžeš byť silnejší než svoje návyky. Potrvá to trochu dlhšie ako 21 dní, ale nakoniec určite vyhráš. Princíp je jednoduchý – ako by hovoril človek, ktorým sa chceš stať? Vyber si správne slová a používaj ich s vedomím, že slová majú moc.” Svojím jednoduchým a priamym štýlom sa Paolo Borzacchiello s čitateľom delí o to, čo sa naučil počas rokov štúdia v oblasti jazykovej inteligencie a ľudských interakcií: vysvetľuje nám, ktoré výrazy nám bránia dosiahnuť výsledky, ktoré si želáme, a ktoré sú, naopak, veľmi silnými zbraňami, ktoré nám zaručujú autoritu v každom kontexte, ktoré vety pôsobia ako kúzla a prospievajú nám a ktoré, naopak, ničia naše sebavedomie a bránia nám byť šťastnými. Veľmi jednoduchá a mimoriadne praktická príručka, ako zlepšiť spôsob, akým komunikujeme sami so sebou a s ostatnými, a žiť život, po akom túžime.
Persevered
If you think you know what mental health during and after pregnancy looks like, Persevered: A Maternal Mental Health Memoir will make you reconsider. Dr. Kara Zivin offers a rare, unfiltered look at what happened when a respected mental health researcher faced her own grave battle with depression and anxiety during and after pregnancy. This book is a raw personal account of surviving the darkest moments of new motherhood while juggling high expectations at home and at work. Zivin takes the reader on an intimate and eye-opening journey that weaves together her perinatal medical records, journal entries, research, and imperfect memories. The story unfolds across hospital rooms, the author’s home, and the university where she works, highlighting the complexity of holding on to one’s identity when everything feels uncertain. Zivin writes with striking honesty about the confusion, guilt, and isolation that so many mothers experience alone but rarely admit to others. Her willingness to lay bare her struggles and her gradual journey toward hope and recovery makes every page feel authentic and deeply relatable. Persevered moves beyond one woman’s survival, breaking the silence that still surrounds maternal mental health. Zivin’s story reminds us that reaching out, sharing our experiences, and demanding better support can make a difference, not just for mothers but for families and communities. This memoir is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, anyone who has supported a loved one through challenging times, or anyone who believes that honest storytelling can spark real change.
Finding Your Moral Compass
Finding Your Moral Compass places enduring Jewish values in a 21st century context, offering a thoughtful and enriching guide for those seeking ethical direction and spiritual grounding through and in Jewish tradition. In this collection of 40 essays, Rabbi John L. Rosove explores foundational Jewish values and helps readers affirm their Jewish identity while drawing connections between Jewish teachings and universal moral principles. Rosove combines classic scholarship, compassion, and personal experience in his reflections upon Judaism’s age-old moral and ethical traditions and Jewish identity as they have evolved over centuries and since the Holocaust and the establishment of the State of Israel. As a thought-leader at the forefront of social justice and liberal Israel activism in North America, Rosove draws from his personal experiences to present moral clarity and an ethical compass for liberal Jews and all who are interested in contemporary Judaism. With accessible prose and heartfelt insight, this collection of essays invites liberal Jews – and anyone interested in finding moral clarity – to consider how Jewish wisdom can serve as a compass in navigating today’s world.

Let Go
As we grow older, human beings accumulate more and more unnecessary things just by living. And not just objects, we accrue connections and status in addition to expensive goods.
If you don't throw these things away as soon as possible, you become a person who can't throw things away. Before you know it, your life is full of noise. You're tied up. Full of anxiety about the future.
That's a tough kind of life, isn't it?
This bestselling and hugely influential book provides an overview of the top ten things you can let go of in five of the most important areas of your life: money and the things you own, your working life, your physical and mental health, your relationships and your lifestyle.
We all cling to habits we learned from our parents, grandparents, friends and society and not letting them go comes at the expense of our personal freedom and overall life satisfaction.
All of the '50 Things' included in this book centre on the idea that minimalism can have a hugely positive impact on your life by clearing away the noise. Every item you let go of clears space for more freedom and creative energy to flow in.
Embrace the courage to let go!
Shaolin Spirit
What do you imagine when you think of Shaolin? Ferociously strong warriors flying through the air?
Shaolin is more than just the physical expression of martial arts. Rooted in Zen and Tao philosophy, it also offers a way of reconnecting our minds with our bodies through meditative movement to cultivate the core virtues of discipline and perseverance.
In this book, Shi Heng Yi, founder of Shaolin Temple Europe and lay disciple of the Songshan Shaolin Temple, introduces us to the contemplative practice that underpins Shaolin – a way of life that has existed for over 1,500 years – and shows how it can help us today.
Having experienced the challenges of modern life as a young man, Shi Heng Yi understands the pressures only too well. Here, he highlights twelve key practices to help improve sleep, relationships and decision-making, as much as balance, flexibility and strength, offering a powerful pathway to self-mastery and understanding.
Môj rok 1971
Od augusta 1968 uplynulo dva a pol roka a kolesá normalizácie, cesty k čistej totalite, už sa krútili a naberali rýchlosť. Absolútna moc komunistov bola podtrhnutá a spočítaná na ich májovom zjazde. Nebolo to veselé. Väčšina ľudí chcela žiť a milovať sa, mať deti a pokoj od nejakých politických táranín a handrkovania. A – zabávať sa. Počúvali sme Johna Lennona a jeho Imagine, Eltona Johna a Rolling Stones, ale aj Collegium Musicum... V tomto roku František Venclovský preplával ako prvý Čechoslovák kanál La Manche, bol natočený film Orlie pierko a po troch rokoch zatvorili Divadlo na korze. Nečudo, Lasica, Satinský a spol. boli jednoducho nežiadúci... Miloš Forman, Jan Němec alebo Ivan Passer opustili krajinu. Ďalší nemohli pri filme naďalej vôbec pracovať alebo čelili permanentnej cenzúre. Ale zabávali sme sa na Dívce na koštěti, aj na Jamesovi Bondovi vo filme Diamanty sú večné. Oscara tento rok získala Francúzska spojka. Najúspešnejším československým športovcom sa stal Ondrej Nepela, futbalistom roka Karol Dobiaš a bežec Dušan Moravčík skončil na Majstrovstvách Európy druhý... Začal sa stavať obchodný dom Kotva, otvorili prvý diaľničný úsek Praha – Mirošovice a prvý cestný tunel na štátnej ceste medzi Stratenou a Dobšinskou ľadovou jaskyňou v Slovenskom raji.
Môj rok 1985
Osemdesiate roky sa lámu do svojej druhej, lepšej polovice. Na Wembley Freddie Mercury volá: EEEEOOO, na Strahove sa naposledy tlieska cvičencom. Fanúšikovia jasajú, že sa Čechoslováci stali majstrami sveta v hokeji a v Bratislave štartuje výstavba metra. Na čelo Sovietskeho zväzu sa dostáva Michail Gorbačov, Michael Jackson spieva We Are the World a kriminalisti pátrajú po spartakiádnom vrahovi. Nachádza sa Titanic! Madonna sa vydáva, Forman drží Oscara a Zlatého slávika vyhráva Peter Nagy...
HOW TO KILL A WITCH
As a woman, if you lived in Scotland in the 1500s, there was a very good chance that you, or someone you knew, would be tried as a witch. Witch hunts ripped through the country for over 150 years, with at least 4,000 accused, and with many women's fates sealed by a grizzly execution of strangulation, followed by burning.
Inspired to correct this historic injustice, campaigners and writers Claire Mitchell, KC, and Zoe Venditozzi, have delved deeply into just why the trials exploded in Scotland to such a degree. In order to understand why it happened, they have broken down the entire horrifying process, step-by-step, from identification of individuals, to their accusation, 'pricking', torture, confessions, execution and beyond.
With characteristically sharp wit and a sense of outrage, they attempt to inhabit the minds of the persecutors, often men, revealing the inner workings of exactly why the Patriarchy went to such extraordinary lengths to silence women, and how this legally sanctioned victimisation proliferated in Scotland and around the world.
With testimony from a small army of experts, pen portraits of the women accused, trial transcripts, witness accounts and the documents that set the legal grounds for the hunts, How to Kill A Witch builds to form a rich patchwork of tragic stories, helping us comprehend the underlying reasons for this terrible injustice, and raises the serious question - could it ever happen again?
Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza
***THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER***Winner of the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for NonfictionIn Peter Beinart's view, one story dominates Jewish communal life: that of persecution and victimhood. It is a story that erases much of the nuance of Jewish religious tradition and warps our understanding of Israel and Palestine. After Gaza, where Jewish texts, history and language have been deployed to justify mass slaughter and starvation, Beinart argues, Jews must tell a new story. After this war, whose horror will echo for generations, they must do nothing less than offer a new answer to the question: What does it mean to be a Jew? Beinart imagines an alternate narrative, which would draw on other nations' efforts at moral reconstruction and a different reading of Jewish tradition. A story in which Israeli Jews have the right to equality, not supremacy, and in which Jewish and Palestinian safety are not mutually exclusive but intertwined. One that recognizes the danger of venerating states at the expense of human life. Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza is a provocative argument that will expand and inform one of the defining conversations of our time. It is a book that only Peter Beinart could write: a passionate yet measured work that brings together his personal experience, his commanding grasp of history, his keen understanding of political and moral dilemmas, and a clear vision for the future.

Far more than we might imagine. In Self-Help from the Middle Ages, historian Peter Jones travels through Europe’s archives and libraries to uncover a lost psychology: a world where confession was therapy, sin was diagnosis, and the Seven Deadly Sins served as a map of the human mind. From the deserts of Egypt to the Vatican Library, from Dante’s Florence to Catherine of Siena’s cell, Jones introduces the thinkers, mystics and rebels who wrestled with the same questions that preoccupy us now: how to live with our flaws, forgive ourselves, and find meaning amid confusion. Medieval lives and landscapes come vividly alive: Siberian winters and Parisian manuscripts, lustful saints and anxious scholars, candlelit abbeys and vaults of forgotten books. Wise, surprising, and deeply humane, Self-Help from the Middle Ages reveals that the remedies we seek for our 21st-century anxieties may have been with us all along—written in brown Gothic ink on lambskin seven hundred years ago.

Microphone
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Since its invention more than 150 years ago, the microphone transformed the world in an instant. Yet its evolution and integration into our daily lives has been comparatively gradual – so gradual, crucially, that it is easy to forget just how much we take it for granted. Every phone has a microphone. Every laptop has a microphone. We are surrounded by microphones. The microphone wields enormous power. But when we're ‘on mic’ we aren't just powerful, we're vulnerable. Microphones can destroy careers as quickly as make them. The microphone is inextricable from our need to be heard. This book takes a curious, always humorous look at this object as a metaphor for power and how the fulfillment of our desire to be heard has created a multi-headed beast we are still learning how to tame.
Feline Folk Tales
Cuddly and cute, fierce and ferocious, cunning and conniving, worshipped and feared – felines appear in many forms in the humble folk tale. The cats in this collection of 57 stories are often heroic, witty and, at times, scheming or downright terrifying. Kitties big and small, from every corner of the world, such as the Kasha from Japan, the Nunda from East Africa, El Hombre Gato from Argentina, Kisa, the Cat from Iceland and many others can be found purring, hissing and prowling through these pages.

A Year of Ikigai
Find purpose and meaning in your day-to-day life with A Year of Ikigai, a collection of 5-minute daily reads, over 365 days, for easy understanding and integration of this Japanese philosophy.Ikigai is not a Venn diagram with a sweet spot in the middle. It''s not your bliss, nor is it your one life purpose. It''s not a word or concept from Okinawa. It’s not related to longevity. And it doesn’t mean that you never retire. So, what is ikigai? Iki comes from the verb ikiru, which means “to live.” But it is not referring to your life as a whole, as in a lifetime, but rather your “everyday life.” The concept of ikigai aligns and relates to finding meaning in your day-to-day living. In A Year of Ikigai, ikigai expert Nicholas Kemp introduces the Japanese concept of ikigai through 365 days of practical tips, exercises, and real-life examples to help you apply the principles of ikigai in tangible ways to your life, so you can answer the most important question:What gets you up in the morning?
De stele en aiguille: Chroniques de la reconstitution d’un habit campaniforme
Réaliser un habit néolithique complet est un défi ambitieux ; cet ouvrage en présente l’aboutissement. Il est issu de mon mémoire de master en archéologie préhistorique a l’Université de Geneve, soutenu en septembre 2025. A l’aide de sources archéologiques centrées sur le Campaniforme périalpin, ainsi que de sources historiques et ethnographiques, j’ai tenté de reproduire au mieux les pratiques textiles du passé, afin d’en proposer une vision plausible. Les motifs géométriques complexes présents sur les steles anthropomorphes du site du Petit-Chasseur (Valais, Suisse), ont servi de base visuelle pour la conception du vetement. Cette étude aborde des sujets tres variés, tels que : la place de l’artisanat textile au sein des sociétés préhistoriques, autant du point de vue des modes de production et de l’investissement de ressources que de la valeur sociale ; la diversité des possibilités techniques liées a la fabrication de textiles, immense et encore peu explorée ; l’importance de l’expérimentation archéologique au sein de la recherche, et son intéret autant scientifique que médiatique. Bien qu’ancré dans des bases scientifiques rigoureuses, ce travail est également tres personnel. Il raconte, étape par étape, le long processus d’apprentissage qui a mené a la production de cet habit, avec son lot d’échecs, d’incertitudes, et – enfin – de réussites.
