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.

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.

A Sudden Flicker of Light


From cinema's most distinguished and 'The best writer on film in our time' (Michael Ondaatje) comes a masterful assessment of the whole sweep of movie history 'The movies traded on the liberation of secret desires-drive that car as fast as you can; turn your humble abode into a palace; conquer all the mean spirits in the world; be as free and winsome as the Tramp yet as rich as Charlie … Every lowlife can be a Corleone.' Every flicker of light has its shadow. In this masterful reassessment of the whole arc of movie history, David Thomson, film's wisest and most penetrating critic, shows us how cinema has entranced and transported us, but also profoundly changed us. From the earliest days of the first picture shows to the screens of today, Thomson glories in the great movies. Sharp, arresting readings of films from Metropolis to Rear Window, The Godfather to Anora can be found in these pages. Yet there is unease, too, at how cinema suckered us into a fantasy neverland that only looks like life. Hungry for spectacle and happy endings, submitting to voyeurism and villainy, we have let films change the way we experience reality; a habit of passivity that may have even betrayed our culture and our politics. As Thomson says, 'This is our history, and our show.' The result of a lifetime of immersion and reflection, this book is a reckoning and a testament from a writer who sees like no other.

Každodenné situácie plné emócií – hnevu, smútku, radosti, závisti, zahanbenia, odmietnutia, strachu či neistoty – a tiež vzťahov, kamarátstiev a prijímania odlišností ukazujú, že sa oplatí nevzdávať. Sedem citlivých príbehov v sebe nesie posolstvá empatie, láskavosti, vzájomnej pomoci, povzbudenia a spolupatričnosti.

Freddie Flintoff: Coming Home


<p><b>THIS AUTUMN'S MUST-HAVE AUTOBIOGRAPHY</b><br><br><b>Freddie Flintoff's life in full, in his own words, through the moments that made him.</b><br><br>A look back at the moments that made Freddie Flintoff. Told in short scenes, Fred zeroes-in on the crucial instances that shaped his career and life - some highly celebrated, others less well-known, private, away from the cameras, but pivotal in shaping the man he is. <br><br>As a boy, Fred fell in love with the game of cricket, it gave him his route through life; out on the pitch he felt at home. Through his eyes we see: the very first time he picks up a bat, getting out first ball; the walk on to the pitch to face the Aussies in 2005; face-downs with rivals; run-ins with the media; the doctors telling him he can't continue to play. <br><br>After retiring, Fred thought he'd left the game behind, relaunching himself in the world of entertainment, but following the car crash that turned his life upside down, it was cricket to which he returned. This book is a reflection on a unique life, a story like no other, and a love letter to the game that made him. Honest, open, reflective and funny, like the man himself, this is Freddie Flintoff, in full, in his own words.</p>
