Průvodce psychonauta
James Fadiman, považovaný za „nejmoudřejšího a nejuznávanějšího amerického odborníka na psychedelika a jejich užívání“, se věnuje výzkumu psychedelik již od 60. let 20. století. V tomto průvodci popisuje osvědčené postupy pro bezpečné, terapeutické a posvátné psychedelické cesty, které se naučil během své více než čtyřicetileté praxe. Poukazuje na okamžité i dlouhodobé účinky užívání psychedelik pro účely spirituální (vysoké dávky), terapeutické (střední dávky) a pro řešení problémů (mikrodávky). Neopomíjí přitom zásady kvalitního setu a settingu, ani připraveného vlastního záměru před samotným psychedelickým sezením.
Fadiman podává přehled opomíjených psychoterapeutických výzkumů ohledně užívání psychedelik pro zlepšení zdraví, jak psychického, tak fyzického, např. mezi stovkami studentů. Odhaluje i nová využití LSD a dalších psychedelik, včetně mikrodávkování, pro zlepšení kognitivních funkcí a emoční rovnováhy. Upozorňuje dále, že psychedelika nejsou pro každého, a vyvrací mýty a mylné představy kolující v učebnicích, na psychedelických klinikách i na internetu. Fadiman ukazuje na životních příbězích průkopníků tohoto bádání, jako byli např. Ram Dass, Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, Huston Smith, stejně jako Francis Crick a Steve Jobs, jak mohou psychedelika, užívaná s rozumem, vést k vědeckým průlomům či duchovnímu prozření.
Helpless
From the New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive and Bright Young Women comes the highly anticipated, heart-pounding thriller with twists you'll never see coming…

Faye Heron has it all: beauty, a glittering Hollywood career and a powerhouse marriage to her producer husband. Her life is the kind most people can only dream of.
When a beloved former college professor suddenly passes away, Faye is drawn back to campus, and back to Henry Spalding, the man she’s spent twelve years trying to forget.
Henry was her first love, her most intense love. Their love was the kind that consumed… and that Faye chose to walk away from. Their reunion should be nothing more than a polite nod to the past. Instead, it awakens something dangerous.
Henry is full of apologies for how they ended. But as Faye is pulled deeper into his orbit, she begins to wonder if she’s walking into something that she won’t be able to escape from this time.
What starts as an innocent chance to reconnect unravels into a sinister game of obsession and control, one that forces Faye to confront the truth about their past and uncover a sprawling, years-old mystery.
Because Henry isn’t just one of a kind. He’s the kind who doesn’t let go.

Counterintuitive
Most people spend their lives solving small problems-following rules they never question, chasing goals they didn't choose, and accepting limits that don't actually exist.
If you've ever felt you were meant to play a bigger game, this book shows you how.
In Counterintuitive, Naveen Jain-serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and founder of multiple billion-dollar companies-reveals the way of thinking that allowed him to consistently do what others believed was impossible. Jain shares that his success did not come from being smarter, luckier, or more connected. Instead, it came from asking better questions and challenging the conventional.
Breakthrough success doesn't come from working harder within the system. It comes from stepping outside it entirely. It's thinking so big that problems become simpler. It's using imagination as a discipline, not a daydream. And it's choosing bold optimism when the world insists on cautious realism.
This is not a book of tactics. It's a blueprint for a mindset shift.
Inside, you'll discover:
Why thinking bigger is often easier than thinking small-and why the world's most complex problems are the most solvable
How to unlearn the invisible rules that limit ambition, creativity, and impact
How to train your imagination to see opportunities where others see constraints
The counterintuitive principles Jain used to build billion-dollar companies, shape industries, and tackle global challenges
Blending personal stories, hard-won lessons, and unconventional insights, Counterintuitive challenges you to stop settling for what you're told is realistic and start reaching for what's truly possible.

You Weren´t Meant to be Human
This grotesque adult horror explores unwanted pregnancy through the parasitic terror of Leech and Brainwyrms, screaming with trans rage as queer and reproductive rights erode. Festering masses of worms and flies have taken root in dark corners across Appalachia. In exchange for unwavering loyalty and fresh corpses, these hives offer a few struggling humans salvation. A fresh start. It’s an offer that none refuse. Crane is grateful. Among his hive’s followers, Crane has found a chance to transition, to never speak again, to live a life that won’t destroy him. He even met Levi: a handsome ex-Marine and brutal killer who treats him like a real man, mostly. But when Levi gets Crane pregnant—and the hive demands the child’s birth, no matter the cost—Crane’s desperation to make it stop will drive the community that saved him into a devastating spiral that can only end in blood. You Weren’t Meant to Be Human is a deeply personal horror; a visceral statement about the lives of marginalized people in a hostile world, echoing the works of Stephen Graham Jones and Eric LaRocca.
A százegy éves ember, aki azon gondolkodott, hogy túl sokat gondolkodik
Allan Karlsson, az immár százegy éves ember újra lecsap, és megint fenekestül felforgatja a világot (pedig csak koktélozgatni szeretett volna Bali szigetén). Persze a világ sem marad adós, és egy tablet segítségével teljesen kibillenti önmagából a szeretni való csibész öregurat, aki rájön, hogy a világ alapvetően teljesen el van fuserálva. És ha már a dolgok sűrűjében találja magát, miért is ne próbálna meg segíteni a világon, amúgy karlssonosan? Ebben olyan fontos személyek lesznek a segítségére (vagy éppen akadályozni próbálják), mint Kim Dzsongun, a pukkancs észak-koreai diktátor, a megfontolt Merkel, a ravaszdi Putyin, a tökkelütött Trump, a német titkosszolgálat, a svéd külügyminiszter, a fél ENSZ, de mindenekelőtt a régi jóbarát, az enyveskezű Julius. Lesz-e szuper atombombája Észak-Koreának? Megalakul-e végre a legbrutálisabb svéd náci párt? Sikerül-e kinyiffantania valakinek csetlő-botló hőseinket? Jonasson fergeteges humorú könyvéből mindenre megnyugtató választ kapunk. A skandináv humor nagymesterének regénye most új kivitelben, de változatlan tartalommal kerül a magyar olvasók kezébe.

Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy
'As swoon-worthy and charming as it is funny and irreverent. Sign me up for everything Brigitte Knightley writes' Olivie Blake, bestselling author of The Atlas SixIn this swoony, witty and heart-stoppingly romantic sequel to instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy, the stakes are high, the love is forbidden and the slow burn turns steamy. Osric is a member of the Fyren Order, a guild of assassins who gleefully murder for money. Aurienne is a Haelan, a scholar-healer whose Order's motto is Harm to none. Clear-cut absolutes separate them: good and bad, right and wrong, light and dark - Until they don't. When Osric first bribed Aurienne to heal him, he never imagined those lines would begin to blur. But every healing session draws the two of them closer together. He finds himself developing unwanted feelings for Aurienne as her capable hands heal his body - and his heart. Aurienne's perfect life has been flung into chaos in the form of a devastatingly handsome assassin. She should be in her research lab, not illicitly healing a Fyren every full moon - nor wrestling an attraction to him that threatens to slip into something else. Things go superbly sideways when Osric and Aurienne discover more about the deadly Pox deliberately unleashed through the Tiendoms. The plague may be the work of another Order - an Order far nastier than either of them can handle. As the lines between Osric and Aurienne continue to blur, the balance between peace and war and love and hate trembles, shifts, and hinges on a heartbeat.

The Curious Mr Howard
John Howard (1726-1790) is best known as the namesake of the UK's oldest penal reform charity, the Howard League. In this extensively researched book, Tessa West reveals his legacy and complex character. Howard was history's first (self-appointed) prison inspector. Arriving at penal establishments unannounced, he recorded the realities behind closed doors, culminating in his iconic The State of the Prisons. A restless workaholic perfectionist, he travelled through the UK, Russia, Germany, and Holland pushing for systemic change. West captures a highly singular individual: benevolent, obsessive, focused and lacking social contacts. This book highlights why prisons demand constant scrutiny and shows what a truly great figure Howard was. 'A riveting account of the great penal reformer'- Guardian'Impeccably researched and fascinating'- The Howard Journal'No-one who reads this wonderful book could dispute that Howard ranks among the most interesting people of his age'- Times Literary Supplement
