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.

Communion
From the bestselling author of Hillbilly Elegy – an intimate account of why Vice President JD Vance strayed from the Christianity of his youth and what led him back to faith.

Picking up in some ways where Hillbilly Elegy left off, Communion recounts how Vance's pursuit of material privileges ultimately led him into a secular wilderness. Communion reveals how Vance regained his faith and discusses his conversion to Catholicism, how his faith guides his work in public life, and how it shapes his thoughts about the future.

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.

THE DARK AND DELICIOUS CONCLUSION TO THE BOOKTOK SMASH HIT!
****
Leucosia has gained a new queen... and a new monster.
King Nemea is dead by Imogen's own hand, leaving Eusia with one less devoted servant-but the deity's strength has only grown. Now, she can access Imogen's power freely, and what's worse, Imogen's first taste of Eusia's grotesque magic has left her hungry for more.
Meanwhile, Theodore's wedding to Halla is imminent, and Imogen plans to steal his bride and use her to get to the blighted island where Eusia's body resides. But the journey proves more difficult and the waters more treacherous than she could have imagined, tempting Imogen to descend into her magic's darkness. As she fights to balance her feelings for the handsome king with her mission, and draws nearer to severing her bond with Eusia, Imogen realizes that ending Eusia might cost her more than she had ever planned on giving
Žirinka a Zebrička hľadajú riešenia
Kniha o Žirinke, Zebričke a ich kamarátoch prináša príbehy o hľadaní riešení aj tam, kde sa to môže zdať nemožné. 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. Každý príbeh dopĺňajú zábavné hľadacie úlohy pre deti, otázky na rozhovor a odborné odporúčania pre rodičov, ktoré podporujú spoločné čítanie a porozumenie detskému svetu.
Kniha vznikla v spolupráci s psychologičkami a špeciálnymi pedagogičkami a odborníci ju odporúčajú ako cennú pomôcku pre deti aj rodičov. Podporuje rozvoj emočnej inteligencie, empatie, spolupráce a pomáha budovať pevné puto medzi dospelým a dieťaťom.
V príbehoch sa deti stretnú s témami:
- ako sa zastať kamaráta (výsmech a šikana),
- ako pomôcť druhému (deti často vidia aj to, čo dospelí prehliadajú),
- že cítiť strach a neistotu je v poriadku (budovanie bezpečia a dôvery),
- čo sa môže stať, keď nepovieme pravdu (klamstvo má rôzne podoby),
- porovnávanie a súťaženie (ak je jeden víťaz, druhý nemusí byť porazený),
- čo tvorí skutočnú rodinu (príbeh o tom, ako sa zo zebry a žirafy stali sestry).
Kniha je voľným pokračovaním titulu Žirinka a Zebrička spoznávajú emócie. Časť príbehov sa odohráva v školskom prostredí, preto je vhodná aj pre deti 1. stupňa základných škôl.
The Fabric of our Souls - Lelkünk vékony szövete
Huszonhat éves vagyok, és meg akarok halni
Amikor élve felébredek a kórházban, és a fivérem fölöttem sír, ez a pillanat mindent megváltoztat. Elintézte, hogy felvegyenek a Harlow Szentélybe, ebbe a szokatlan rehabilitációs központba, ahol újszerű módszereket alkalmaznak, egy intézetbe, aminek legendás a múltja. Itt ismerkedem meg a szobatársammal, akinek kegyetlen a tekintete és a humorérzéke az enyémnél is morbidabb. Különös vonzalom támad közöttünk.
Én a halál után sóvárgok, ő az élet után.
Képes-e két ilyen ember meggyógyítani egymást?

Teď, když všechny sféry ohrožuje Kadenovo vojsko a na obzoru jsou myriády nových hrozeb, si Samkiel nemůže dovolit polevit v ostražitosti. Jen on dokáže Diannu odtáhnout zpět od okraje zatracení. A zatímco Diannina krvežíznivost jen roste, dochází mu čas, aby sebe i ji zachránil.

The Solo Honeymoon
A romantic, life-affirming memoir about a young woman’s solo honeymoon to Europe after her fiancé’s sudden death weeks before their wedding, and the community of hope and wonder she built along the way
When Laura and Devon sat down to plan their honeymoon, Castellina in Chianti, Italy, was the obvious destination. Four months later, Laura found herself standing in a secret spot at the edge of the village watching the sunset. It would have been perfect, if Devon had been there with her. But Laura’s fiancé, the love of her life, had died in her arms a month before their wedding.
The Solo Honeymoon follows Laura as she faces her fears and heartbreak by going alone on the honeymoon she had planned with Devon. From screaming from the mountaintops in Ireland to wandering the busy streets of London to dining on the French Riviera and watching the sun set over Castellina, Laura travels across Europe to find solid ground. Along the way, listeners learn her unique love story and come to know Devon and what made their relationship so special.
The result is a beautiful exploration of what it means to choose life in the face of unimaginable pain. The Solo Honeymoon shines a light on the joy of love, the depths of grief, and all the beauty there is in the world.

You are the poem I dare not write.
It's safer to keep the perilous passages within me than to unleash them upon this stricken Earth.
Haunted by the Governor of Apollo's dark secrets, Khalani and her crew of criminals embark on a new perilous journey.

To survive in this unforgiving world, Khalani must draw on her strength and harrowing experiences from Apollo. For a new kind of prison awaits in the corrupt city of Hermes-one where she finds herself trapped with the man who aggravates her the most. But this time, they may not escape alive.
On the surface of the Earth, only the ruined remain.
Sharp, visceral, emotionally raw and unflinchingly real, Book 2 in the Us Dark Few series is a must-read YA adventure that continues a thrilling series from an exciting new voice.

Freddie Flintoff: Coming Home

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>
