V jedno jarné ráno sa myška Felícia vyberie do pekárne a cestou si nahlas kýchne. Jej kýchnutie znie ako piskot plný radosti a chuti do života. Práve prechádza okolo pán starosta. Prezradí jej, že v nej drieme skrytý hudobný talent, ktorý určite zdedila po svojej tete Jozefíne, svetoznámej pískačke. Odporučí jej navštíviť hudobnú školu, kde by mohla svoje nadanie rozvíjať. Rodina Myšiakovcov je však veľmi chudobná a hudobnú školu si za žiadnych okolností nemôže dovoliť. Preto brat Jonatán Felícii navrhne, aby sa spoločne vybrali do Berlína za tetou Jozefínou, ktorá by mohla malej myške pomôcť na jej ceste za veľkým snom.

Obľúbený za každú cenu
Byť sebou je odvážne a slobodné. Mať sa na prvom mieste seba je sebavedomé. Zdravé hranice sú vyjadrením rešpektu k sebe a druhým.
Všetci to chceme, no ako deti sme si to nemohli dovoliť. Mnohí z nás vyrastali v prostredí, kde sa prirodzené prejavy potláčali a my sme sa museli prispôsobovať okoliu často až nezdravým a veľmi škodlivým spôsobom. Tieto naučené vzorce správania môžeme nazvať stratégiami prežitia. Naozaj nimi boli – od okolia sme boli existenčne závislí.
Ako dospelí však už nie sme – a napriek tomu vo vzťahoch často fungujeme ako malé zakríknuté deti s pocitom nízkej sebahodnoty, ktoré nevedia, ako sa za seba postaviť ani ako si sami naplniť vlastné potreby. Zotrvávame v toxických väzbách, tolerujeme nevhodné správanie – sme zúfalo závislí, pretože potrebujeme, aby nás ľudia mali radi, a nevieme, ako z toho von.
Táto kniha je sprievodcom a zároveň osobnou výpoveďou úspešnej psychoterapeutky; ženy, ktorá sa krok za krokom dokázala vymaniť z ťažkej traumy úslužnosti. Obsahuje osobné príbehy viacerých klientov, ktorí to takisto dokázali a postupne žijú čoraz krajšie životy. Je o odvahe oslobodiť sa a ponúka užitočné nástroje podložené dlhoročnou psychoterapeutickou praxou. Pretože ak chceme naozaj žiť a nájsť sa, potrebujeme sa v prvom rade pustiť všetkého, čo nám v tom bráni.
Deep Cuts
It was the love story of the decade… Or it should have been.
The first time Joe plays Percy one of his songs in his college room in 2000, she instantly realises three things: One, she is watching a star in the making. Two, she can shape his music into something extraordinary. Three, she will always be on the sidelines.
She swallows her jealousy and throws herself into collaboration, transforming Joe’s songs into indie hits with her blistering critiques. But there’s an undercurrent to the music they’re making – something undeniably electric, hurtling towards love. And then, almost inevitably, towards heartbreak.

Apple
On April 1, 1976, two scruffy twentysomethings, both named Steve, founded a startup. Their goal: To bring the revolutionary power of computers to everyone.
Over the next five decades, Apple reshaped the technology and cultural landscapes, introducing the public to breakthroughs like the mouse, laser printing, CD-ROM, WiFi, digital video, home networking, touchscreen phones, and tablets. Jobs's obsessive eye for detail set the stage for products-Mac, iMac, iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch-that married advanced technology with beauty, simplicity, and fine design.
Deeply researched and lavishly illustrated, Apple: The First 50 Years includes new interviews with 150 key people who made the journey, including Steve Wozniak, John Sculley, Jony Ive, and many current designers, engineers, and executives. The book busts long-held myths; goes backstage for both the titanic successes (450 million iPods, 700 million iPads, 2.2 billion iPhones) and the instructive failures (Lisa, Apple III, MobileMe); and assesses the forces that challenge Apple's dominance as it enters its second half century.
Bursting with tales of frenetic all-nighters, engineering genius, and creative rebellion, this book is a true testament to Apple's unique and innovative vision, and a must read for anyone whose life Apple has touched.

Guts and Glory
From one of Australia's leading military historians and biographers, Peter Rees, comes Guts and Glory, an enthralling history of the way in which sport is ever present in the wars fought by, or involving, our Australian defence forces. The spirit of Australia can be seen so clearly in how we play and how we fight. From the famous cricket match played on the beach at Gallipoli as a decoy for the evacuation of Australian troops; to the hero of Tobruk, Changi and the Thai Burma railway, Colonel Sir Ernest Edward 'Weary' Dunlop AC, who so respected his hard-won Wallaby jersey, he insisted on being buried in it; to legendary Test cricketer Keith Miller, fighter pilot in WWII, who famously said 'Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse, playing cricket is not' - sport has always been part of our wars. A collection of vivid, moving, funny, powerful and poignant sporting stories from the wars fought by the Australian Defence Force ranging from WWI right through to the present day, Guts and Glory is a book about the way that sport is so often an intrinsic part of war; how sport provides a means for the diggers to cope with the pressures of the battlefield; how the lessons that we learn playing sport can be applied to the art of leadership and warfare; and how mateship and the Australian character and spirit can be seen in the way we fight and the way we play. 'This is ultimately an uplifting book, which celebrates the bonding and healing power of sport, in times of war and after it. For history buffs who can't miss Friday night footy or the Boxing Day Test, this is a book they'll devour.' Readings

With strong determination and a belief that impossible dreams can come true, Young Bae knew she would become somebody.
