In the summer of 1999,Michael Ashcroft (now Lord Ashcroft) became the subject of concerted attacksaimed at unseating him as Treasurer of the Conservative Party.

These include hisvaried business interests, his charitable work, his writing, his polling,championing bravery and supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia.
Jak jednat s rozhněvanými lidmi
Okolnosti, během nichž se v běžném životě setkáváme s rozzlobenými jedinci, jsou dvojího typu. Může jít o jednorázové situace, kdy se na nás rozčílí někdo cizí, anebo se jedná o jedince se vznětlivou povahou, který má v našem životě pevné místo – nadřízený, životní partner, sourozenec, rodič nebo i potomek. Kniha vám pomůže takovýmto lidem lépe porozumět a komunikovat s nimi tak, aby to bylo přínosné a zbytečně vás to nevyčerpávalo.
Existuje rozdíl mezi hněvem a agresí. Osoby, s nimiž komunikujete a které jsou rozzlobené, možná nejsou vůči vám (nebo jiným osobám) útočné, ale vy se v jejich přítomnosti nemusíte cítit dobře. Je dobré si uvědomit, že hněv může být nejen stav, ale i povahová vlastnost. A také to, že prchliví lidé nemusí být nutně zlí.
První část knihy se zaměřuje na porozumění lidem, kteří prožívají hněv. Autor se v ní zabývá různými typy osobnosti, ale i biologickými faktory, emočním vývojem, šířením emocí a myšlenkovými vzorci. Každá kapitola pak přináší praktické rady.
Ve druhé části najdete deset konkrétních postupů pro efektivní zvládání situací s rozzlobenými lidmi:
1. Jak zjistit, co vy opravdu chcete
2. Jak si zachovat klid a vyrovnanost
3. Jak rozpoznat různé podoby hněvu
4. Jak porozumět hněvu z pohledu druhé osoby
5. Jak poznat, kdy je něčí hněv oprávněný
6. Jak jednat s těmi, kteří nekomunikují
7. Jak účinně zvládat hněv v online prostředí
8. Jak se vyhnout osobním útokům
9. Jak poznat, kdy je čas se stáhnout
10. Jak kombinovat různé přístupy
Všechno dokreslují příklady z reálného života
Štítná žláza a emoce
Tato unikátní publikace pojednává o souvislostech mezi štítnou žlázou a emocemi. Erudovaně, odborně, avšak zároveň způsobem fascinujícím i pro laika vysvětluje, jak přesně tato souvislost funguje a co to znamená pro pochopení nesmírně důležité funkce tohoto orgánu, jakož i problémů spojených s jejím narušeným fungováním.
Jean du Chazaud je zakladatelem takzvané endokrinopsychologie. Je přesvědčený, že lidské emoce jsou podmíněny naší hormonální rovnováhou, zatímco stres působí recipročně i na funkce štítné žlázy. Zdůrazňuje, že štítná žláza je žlázou emocí. Právě ona přijímá a řídí naše emoce a poté informuje mozek. Díky ní nám funguje inteligence, psychika je schopná se přizpůsobovat situacím, se kterými se setkáváme, a právě ona nás nutí vyjadřovat radost, smutek, hněv či strach.
Uvedené poznatky se mohou stát východiskem pro další zkoumání a také zdrojem naděje pro tisíce lidí, kteří trpí, protože jejich vnitřní poruchy a náhlé změny duševního stavu nejsou pochopeny.
Kromě jiného zde najdete podrobné pojednání o emocích z psychologického, lékařského i filozofického hlediska a také rozbor některých psychosomatických nemocí, jako je vysoký (nebo naopak nízký) krevní tlak, nemoci srdce, nebo dokonce závislosti.
The Algorithm
Jonathan McNeill had already founded and sold six startups when Sheryl Sandberg introduced him to Elon Musk, who was looking for help at Tesla. McNeill was steeped in the lean principles that had made Toyota a global powerhouse principles focused on achieving efficiency and optimization by incrementally improving existing systems and processes. What he learned from Elon at Tesla was its antithesis, an approach that required radical rethinking to explode the status quo, attack complexity, and set seemingly unrealistic goals.
Elon called this five-step framework The Algorithm.
1. Question every requirement.
2. Delete every possible step in the process.
3. Simplify and optimize.
4. Accelerate cycle time.
5. Automate.
In this book, McNeill details this tremendously powerful set of tools, which brought Tesla from a production crisis that threatened to derail it to a period of hypergrowth.
During his tenure, revenue boomed from $2B to $20B in just 30 months. Since his departure from Tesla, McNeill has used The Algorithm in every enterprise he has worked with to supercharge speed, efficiency, innovation, and growth. Featuring case studies from Tesla and SpaceX, as well as from Lululemon, GM, and companies of various sizes across industries, he reveals how any business can do the same and achieve the unimaginable.

A Kingdom and a Village
Moscow stands at the centre of a nation comprising eleven percent of the globe’s landmass, eleven time zones and nearly one hundred and fifty million people, some thirteen million of whom live in the capital. A Kingdom and a Village vividly brings to life Russia’s heart and soul, tracing its transformation from a ‘big village’ into a metropolis of vast geopolitical import.
It is a stranger-than-fiction arc. The last century alone has featured invasions and battles, the destruction and reconstruction of sacred landmarks, and the collapse of the Soviet republic – not to mention the rise of an authoritarian leader who is a keen student of Russian history. Morrison reaches back to the city’s founding as a fortress on a river nearly a millennium ago. In the following centuries, any number of external forces – from Tatar Mongols and Swedes to Napoleon and Hitler – set their sights on Moscow, bolstering its self-conception as a glittering prize and site of perpetual defence and resurrection.
Understanding Moscow not only unlocks the spellbinding mysteries of Russia’s past, but also the grim logic of its present. A Kingdom and a Village is an essential guide to a people and a nation.
Harry Kane

Little Harry always knew he wanted to be a footballer. He joined his first club, Ridgeway Rovers, at a young age and worked hard to improve his skills every day. He was soon scouted by Arsenal, who spotted his potential and asked him to join.
But when he was dropped from Arsenal after just one season, Harry was devastated – he thought it would be the end of his footballing journey. With the support of his dad and the rest of his family, he picked himself back up, trained even harder and proved that he had real talent. And when he joined Tottenham Hotspur, it felt like home. He became their top scorer, netting hundreds of goals and delighting fans with every match.
Harry’s incredible determination saw him rise to the top and become captain of the England team. In his first World Cup, he won the Golden Boot – a prize for being the top-scorer in the competition. Even in tough matches, Harry has been a pillar of strength for the team, showing true leadership. And he uses his voice off the pitch, too, by starting a foundation to help encourage people to talk about their feelings.
This highly-illustrated book, about a little boy who never gave up on his dream, introduces children to the incredible moments in Harry’s career. His remarkable story of determination and perseverance shows young readers that anything is possible.
This book also features extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with photos and a detailed profile of the athlete’s life.

How To Disagree Better
In this revolutionary book, pioneering Harvard Kennedy School professor and behavioral scientist Julia Minson reveals the counterintuitive secret to a life of less drama and more impact. We are in a disagreement crisis. The average person would rather go to the dentist than have a twenty-minute conversation with someone that they strongly disagree with. Yet disagreement is both inevitable and essential for everything from navigating decisions at home to running innovative and agile companies to governing democratic societies. In How to Disagree Better, Minson brings to bear her decades of research into understanding the psychology of disagreement and its relevance to negotiations, conflict resolution, and decision-making, revealing the hidden skill that all the best mediators and negotiators share: displaying receptiveness to opposing views. The science shows that receptive individuals don't just fight less, they also get more done-they are better decision-makers, better peacemakers, and yes, better influencers than the rest of us. Through original research and case studies, How to Disagree Better will show you why traditional persuasion strategies don't work as well as you think they do, how you can bridge division and reach better outcomes simply by utilising receptiveness strategies, and that disagreeing better is a skill all of us can learn to apply at home, at work, and with our neighbors.
