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.
Brány vnímání. Nebe a peklo
Dvě eseje kultovního autora, jež ovlivnila celá 60. léta nejen v Americe. Brány vnímání se zabývají bez předsudků halucinogeny a jejich vlivem na lidské vědomí. Huxley se v ní snaží o docenění psychologického a spirituálního efektu, který pro člověka mohou drogy představovat. V práci se projevuje autorův zájem o biologii a přírodní vědy.V eseji Nebe a peklo se zabývá podílem půstu, sebetrýznění a dlouhodobé odloučenosti na získání stejné zkušenosti.
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.
The Renovation
Dilara s father is disappearing.
He has dementia and the disease steals a little more of him each day. Dilara has persuaded him to move in with her, hiring builders to adapt her apartment in preparation, but when the renovation is complete she discovers a big problem.
Instead of a new bathroom, the builders have installed a Turkish prison cell. At first she is outraged. There has surely been some mistake. Dilara s family are exiles they left Turkey many years ago and have never been back.
The last thing she wants is a piece of her estranged homeland appearing uninvited in her new home. But as the weeks pass, her indignation gives way to curiosity. Beyond the cell door, she glimpses Turkish guards going about their work. Through the cell walls, she hears Turkish prisoners murmuring, rustling, crying out in their sleep.
And in the strange, impossible air of the cell itself, she smells the sesame scent of freshly baked simit, she tastes the fine dust of the Anatolian steppe on her tongue.
Even as she struggles to care for her father, to keep the family finances afloat and stop the wheels coming off her marriage, Dilara is drawn back again and again to the mysterious prison cell, and through it to a city that once belonged to her to the salt wind off the Marmara, the sky full of gulls and domes and minarets back to Istanbul.
Exit Strategy
Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for.
First - a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing about. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can't deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There's no problem. Nothing is missing.
Second - a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climes. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help.
Third - wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy's technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more . . .
How Flowers Made Our World
Far from being mere ornaments, flowers have shaped the very fabric of life on our planet. Their evolution triggered a cascade of biodiversity, transforming oceans, creating new habitats, and even altering the climate. Their beauty turned adversaries into allies, and their adaptability turned environmental upheavals into opportunities for renewal.
Weaving together vivid storytelling, lyrical writing, and cutting-edge science, Haskell illuminates flowers as portals into deep time and essential players in our ecological future. He reveals how flowers built and sustained ecosystems from rainforests to prairies and have been pivotal in the evolution of species like butterflies, bees, and birds. He also uncovers their crucial role in human history, as cultural emblems, keys to scientific leaps, and evolutionary catalysts, with flowering grasses calling our ancestors to leave the trees, laying the foundation for agriculture and modern civilization.
From lessons in resilience and creativity found among gardeners’ favourites, such as magnolias, orchids, and roses, to rediscovering lesser-known wonders, like our uncelebrated underwater meadows that sustain life and the secrets of our most humble wildflowers, How Flowers Made Our World invites readers to see these blooms in a whole new light - as the dynamic and influential forces they truly are.

Álomhotel
Egy nő küzdelme a szabadságért – egy közeljövőben játszódó rémálomban
Mi történik, ha már az álmainkat is megfigyelik?
És ebből egy algoritmus képes előre jelezni, milyen bűncselekményt követünk majd el a jövőben.
Amiért már most börtönbe zárnak…
Sara Husseint egy külföldi konferenciáról hazatérve a Los Angeles-i repülőtéren letartóztatják, mivel az álmaiból nyert adatok alapján közvetlen fenyegetést jelent arra, akit a világon a legjobban szeret: a férjére. Sara hirtelen egy börtönben találja magát, ahol minden mozdulatát és gondolatát megfigyelik, kiértékelik, és ezek alapján döntenek arról, mikor szabadulhat.
Már ha szabadulhat egyáltalán.
Ám egyszer csak olyasmi történik az intézményben, aminek a hatására Sara válaszút elé kerül: továbbra is tartsa be a szabályokat, vagy lázadjon fel a rendszer ellen, amely megfosztotta a szabadságától és az álmaitól.
Az Álomhotel egyszerre feszültséggel teli disztópia és mélyen emberi történet arról, kik vagyunk, és mit jelent valóban szabadnak lenni. Kísérteties vízió az emberi méltóságról egy olyan társadalomban, ahol a hatalom korlátozás nélkül használhatja fel a saját céljaira a technológiát. Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, Kazuo Ishiguro rajongóinak kötelező olvasmány.

Why Populists Are Winning
In 2024, two billion people went to vote - and populism won big. Donald Trump returned to the White House. Marine Le Pen surged in France. Reform UK became Britain's most successful far-right party in modern history. Across the West, authoritarian populists now govern one-quarter of the world's democracies.
But is this peak populism - or the populists' tipping point?
From the counting halls of inner-city Birmingham to the trading floors of Wall Street, from the Heritage Foundation war room to the algorithmic outrage machines of social media, Liam Byrne exposes the forces propelling the populist surge - and reveals how to stop it.
Drawing on original polling of thousands of voters, interviews with leading thinkers, and on-the-ground reporting across Britain, Europe and America, Byrne decodes the populist playbook. He reveals populism's five tribes, showing which voters can still be won back. He traces the millions flowing into Britain's populist media-political complex. He maps the rhetoric populists use to weaponise fear and nostalgia. And he warns: democracies rarely collapse in normal times - they fall after the next crisis, when hope collapses.
Bullsh*t Comparisons
Bullshit Comparisons will challenge the way you think about rankings, charts and other marketing and political tools designed to create odious and dangerous comparisons.
Is Boris Johnson really like Winston Churchill? Are electric cars actually greener than petrol ones? Which is the world's most successful university? Is Lisbon the new Barcelona? Should we compare the achievements of younger and older siblings even when we know it damages their self-worth? We make comparisons every day, but how helpful are they?
Looking across a dazzling range of situations both familiar and unfamiliar, Bullshit Comparisons is a ground-breaking examination of the role of comparison in modern society, illuminated by examples spanning from the FIFA World Footballer of the year, to wine-tasting in London, hospital care in Sierra Leone and avocado farming in Colombia.
Challenging us to think critically about the use of comparison through accessible, personal, and often amusing research, Andrew Brooks reveals the uses and abuses of comparisons in a book that isn't like anything else you have read.
First to Finish
'Freaking phenomenal. The chemistry? Electric. The banter? Sharp, addictive, and completely off the charts.' ????? – The stakes have never been higher in this spicy F1 forced proximity romcom!
