Stoic Empathy
What if you could lead with strength and compassion? Negotiate effectively and ethically? Live from rigorous principles and deep connection? Find answers in this radical new paradigm of personal power. “A radical approach to influence rooted in ethical strength. . . . A profound blend of philosophy, personal story, and actionable insights that will inspire readers to lead with both heart and mind.” — Dr. Mike Dow, New York Times best-selling author of The Brain Fog Fix Stoicism combined with empathy may sound like an oxymoron. But when these seemingly opposing forces are harnessed together, they have the power to change your life. We think of empathy as an emotional stance: we feel what someone else is feeling. In this book, Shermin Kruse offers a radical alternative. She outlines a form of empathy that’s based in cognition instead—a way for us to understand what the other person is thinking and feeling while keeping a distance from their emotive state—and shows us how we can strategically maneuver our level of engagement from “emotional empathy” to “cognitive empathy” in all kinds of circumstances. Then she utilizes Stoic philosophy and modern science to explain the mechanics of emotional regulation and control. With this radical perspective shift, Kruse builds a bridge between the rigor of Stoic philosophy and the relational impact of empathy. She gives us the knowledge and discipline we need to:· Calmly assess the power dynamics of any situation· Understand and manage our own emotions as well as the emotions of others· Defuse danger and turn conflict into connection· Skillfully steer a challenging conversation toward the result we want Whether you're a leader striving to succeed in your role with integrity, an educator seeking to guide curious minds with compassion, a parent nurturing resilience in your children, or simply facing a personal or professional crossroads, Stoic Empathy is an essential toolkit for negotiating success in every area of your life.

Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. Now she wants revenge. To save her sister she needs to get back home and destroy the system that created her. Rosabelle's greatest strength is her ability to deaden her mind and body; it's the only way to survive the surveillance state of Ark Island. But lately her heart has been beating harder; her thoughts are spiraling; her defenses are coming undone.
And there's only one person to blame.
James Anderson had a plan. Now he has nothing but problems. Rosabelle might be the ally they need in a fight against The Reestablishment, but no one wants to trust an enemy assassin. It doesn't help that Rosabelle's not much of a talker, doesn't work well in groups, and kills people on instinct. Taking her side has cost James nearly everything-but keeping her alive might help save his world.
If only he could convince his older brother.
Aaron Warner Anderson has a headache. Something dark is coming, and Rosabelle's arrival is just a prelude. In her, he sees shades of himself he can't trust, and worse: he can no longer get a read on the girl. She's a dead battery, emanating no emotional feedback. At least not until James walks into a room…
Volcanic tension, breathless reveals, breakneck action-and a dystopian world that never stops raising the stakes:
Welcome back to The New Republic.
Candle Island
Lucretia Sanderson has a secret. Lucretia and her mother have come to tiny Candle Island, Maine (Population: Summer, 986; Winter, 315) to escape - escape memories of the car accident that killed her father and escape the journalists that hound her mother, a famous and reclusive artist. The rocky coast and ocean breeze are a welcome respite for Lucretia, who dedicates her summer days to painting, exploring the island, and caring for an orphaned osprey chick. But Candle Island has secrets of its own - a hidden room in her new house, a mysterious boy with a beautiful voice - and just like the strong tides that surround the shores, they will catch Lucretia in their wake. With an unforgettable New England setting and a complex web of relationships old and new, Candle Island is a powerful story about art, loss, and the power of being true to your own voice.

Late—Later
In this extraordinary debut collection, Kathleen Bridget Eva O’Hanlon dives deeply into a personal history that holds a mirror up to all the ways we piece together a lifetime of memories to weave a story of our many connected selves. Rich in references to literature, history, myth and culture, the poetry here remains accessible and resonant, clear-eyed, acutely observant and bristling with intelligent humour. We are reminded of the ways fragments of our pasts become defining moments – the casual remark to a child over a Crunchie bar that remains brutally clear decades later, the act of undemonstrative kindness that makes a child feel seen and valued in the simple gift of a wooden butter curler, the radical grandmother who ‘called a penis, a penis’, the life events and ordinary days that mark us – from almost marrying Casanova to childbirth, from our hungry ghosts to the way insomnia blurs into vision, threading loss and memory. It’s late and getting later, but still there is wit and life, still there is a legacy to leave and hope to insist on, memories that reshape both past and future. Still there is a credo – in the ‘great and final roar that is to come’ and in love.

Sublime Lungs
In Sublime Lungs Kate Noakes turns her attention to the breath. For the first time, she explores her lifelong asthma and explains the impact of this chronic and disabling condition. The breath and breathing are subjects for poems from many chronologies and geographies in this her ninth collection. ‘If one measure of a poet’s line is their breath, then you’d expect a poet with asthma to be a little curtailed by it. Not so Kate Noakes. Sublime Lungs finds poem after poem burgeoning out of the condition and leading her to find no trace of Keats in Rome, but allegories in witchcraft, Kent Marsh Frogs or Blade Runner, and to have a double-edged view of nature, which for her can be kill or cure. Whether in Machu Picchu or Boston Library, referencing Charles Olson in Gloucester, or relating to lovers and children, Noakes starts from the breath in her lungs and takes off into air.’ — MATTHEW CALEY‘From Egyptian breath cures to Katherine Mansfield’s inhaler to the thin air of the Rocky Mountains and Machu Picchu, Kate Noakes’ latest collection evokes all the elements of a life lived with asthma. With each successive poem, Sublime Lungs expands the scope of how this condition affects one’s experience of the world in poems by turns witty and moving. This is poetry that attunes us to the nuances of our own embodiment.’ — CARRIE ETTER

Viditeľne pod kožou
Rozmýšľali ste niekedy nad tým, ako pokračujú ženské romány po tom, keď sa Ona a On konečne dajú dokopy?
Žijú spolu šťastne až … do chvíle, keď to aspoň jednému z nich prestane dávať zmysel.
Keby bola láska na celý život výhra, stačilo by ju rozumne využiť. Takto to bude skôr víťazstvo, v ktorom cieľová rovinka zároveň znamená koniec.
Kamila je žena v najlepšom veku. Má všetko, čo by si jeden nešťastník mohol priať, no jej túžby si nedajú pokoja. Hlásia sa o slovo, a jej pragmatického manžela tak pravidelne privádzajú do zúfalstva. Kamila však nepozná správne riešenia a, čo je horšie, nevie sa ani rozhodovať. Niečo ju neustále dráždi a núti ju hľadať odpovede tam, kde sa už nedajú prepísať.
Alebo dajú?
Príbeh príliš obyčajný na to, aby sme ho nepoznali, a pritom celkom jedinečný na to, aby sme ho mohli prežiť dvakrát.
Druhá kniha z pera blogerky, ktorú realita neprestáva fascinovať. Ako bonus kvalitná dávka humoru a irónie, s ktorými to má tú správnu životnú príchuť.
Čas vrahů
Dvacáté století bylo epochou technického pokroku, kulturního rozkvětu a nebývalých vědeckých objevů, které posunuly lidstvo z věku páry do éry dobývání vesmíru, jaderné energie a globální konektivity. Člověk se během něj z velké části osvobodil od nemocí a hladu – a přesto to bylo i století, v němž se tím nejdestruktivnějším způsobem projevily temné stránky lidské povahy. Nikdy předtím nezískala ideologie takovou moc nad jednotlivcem, nikdy předtím nebyly miliony lidí s tak strojovou systematičností vyvražďovány v koncentračních táborech, gulazích a na bojištích po celém světě.
Tento paradox – že století osvícení a humanity přineslo zároveň genocidu a masové vyhlazování – zůstává jedním z nejbolestnějších rysů moderní historie. Ale dějiny nejsou jen souborem dat a faktů. Jsou to i příběhy lidí, kteří žili, rozhodovali se a nesli důsledky svých činů. Některé kontext doby dovedl k hrdinství, jiným umožnil naplno projevit jejich zvrácenost.
Tato kniha je pokusem o anatomii nejen zla, ale i naděje. Snaží se porozumět těm, kteří se stali nástroji totalitních zločinů, i těm, kteří se jim vzepřeli. Nejde o knihu o vůdcích, ideologiích či politických systémech, ale o obyčejných lidech – třeba o těch, kteří zavírali dveře plynových komor, podepisovali rozsudky smrti, stříleli vězně do týla – a večer se vraceli ke svým rodinám. A také o těch, kteří riskovali vše, aby zachránili druhé, o těch, kteří odmítli jen přihlížet a mlčet a dokázali neztratit svou lidskost v nelidské době.
Pochopit psychologii a motivace těchto lidí – jedněch i druhých – znamená pochopit nejen mechanismy zla, ale i prameny tiché odvahy, empatie a soucitu, které ani zlo nedokázalo uhasit. Možná právě v této tenké hranici mezi temnotou a světlem se skrývá pravé poznání o člověku – i o nás samotných.
Zajatci úzkosti
Cítíte se neustále napjatí, přetížení a nedaří se vám „vypnout“? Možná jste si – zcela nevědomky – vypěstovali návyk na úzkost. Právě tento vzorec vás může připravovat o klid, spánek i radost ze života.
Zkušený psychoterapeut v této knize ukazuje, že boj s úzkostí nemusí být nikdy nekončící. Vysvětluje, jak úzkost funguje jako návykový cyklus, a krok za krokem provází cestou, jak jej účinně přerušit. Místo rychlých slibů či složitých odborných termínů nabízí srozumitelný a lidský pohled na to, co se ve vás odehrává, a praktické postupy, díky nimž můžete znovu převzít kontrolu nad svými myšlenkami i emocemi.
Tato kniha není jen o zvládání úzkosti. Je o osvobození se z jejího sevření a o tom, jak se znovu nadechnout a začít žít naplno.

The Fight for a Supranational World
In the 1848-1867 period, the Habsburg Adriatic was contended by incipient nationalisms, particularly the Italian, German, and South Slavic. The Fight for a Supranational World focuses on Trieste, Fiume/Rijeka, and Dalmatia, where opposing nationalisms found themselves at grips with centuries-long traditions of municipal autonomy, dynastic loyalty, regional patriotism, and ethnic hybridity—all qualities enshrined within Habsburg supranationalism. There were attempts by nationalist activists to exploit ethnic and linguistic elements to form or join national states, but these largely failed until much later in the century. Contrary to the current consensus within nationalism scholarship, which is steeped in the notion of "liberal nationalism," The Fight for a Supranational World argues that in 1848 and the following years, nationalism was illiberal due to its exclusionary or assimilatory tendencies in its quest for cultural and linguistic homogeneity. This work also shows how Habsburg supranationalism, neglected within nationalism studies and political science more broadly, needs to be the bedrock for more accurate theorizations of nationalism that would prove the relevance of Elie Kedourie's and Eugen Weber's works, among others, despite Ernest Gellner's and Benedict Anderson's enduring popularity.
