Situated : Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best
‘If you read one book this year to level up your life, make it this one’ MEL ROBBINS'For anyone who feels stuck, this book offers a path to something new' CAROL DWECK From the #1 bestselling author of Grit, a new book that reveals the hidden power of situations - and how you can shape them to bring out your best.In Angela Duckworth’s first book, she showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance she dubbed 'grit.' This new book springs from her deepening realization that grit, while necessary, is sometimes not sufficient. How you situate yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial.Duckworth’s in-depth research reveals the enormous influence wielded by the objects within arm’s reach, your peers and mentors, and even where you live. Though you’re often told to make the best of your situation, it is far, far better to make your situation better first.
In Situated, you’ll discover:Why your personality changes, sometimes dramatically, from one situation to another – and how you can harness that shift
The secret to conquering temptation without willpower
Why taking the less effortful path can feel like cheating but often solves a stubborn problem
How the company you keep shapes the person you become
The most effective ways to help others succeedHighlighting four essential elements of successful situations, Duckworth shows how high performers like Taylor Swift, Michael Phelps and Jerry Seinfeld create situations that make the most of their grit. And with disarming honesty, she shares her own struggles with burnout and marriage – and how learning to change her situation, not herself, made all the difference.Whatever it is you want to achieve, there’s a situation that can make your journey easier.It takes effort to make your situation your ally – but a little effort goes a long way ... when you get situated.

In the decades since, Hoffman has shown his brilliance and breadth in some of the most iconic movies of the Twentieth Century. In his memoir, he proves to be an ardent, entertaining, and deeply empathic storyteller… a narrator whose company you will relish.

Covey illustrates how his principles of leadership can be applied to children of all ages – updated and revised for modern students.In today’s world, we are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live.

Hold Still
Where does the impulse to create come from? What are the forces that shape an artist’s work? This ground-breaking memoir, a unique interplay of narrative and image, charts the making of one of America’s greatest artists. As Sally Mann tells her story, her work’s preoccupation with family, race, mortality, and the storied landscape of the American South is revealed as almost genetically predetermined, written into her DNA by the family history that precedes her.Sorting through boxes of family papers and yellowed photographs she finds more than she bargained for: "deceit and scandal, alcohol, domestic abuse, car crashes, bogeymen, clandestine affairs, dearly loved and disputed family land . . . racial complications, vast sums of money made and lost, the return of the prodigal son, and maybe even bloody murder."In lyrical prose and startlingly revealing photographs, she crafts a totally original form of personal history that has the page-turning drama of a great novel but is firmly rooted in the fertile soil of her own experience. This is the record of an artist’s life, and a meditation on place, people, family, and the nature of creativity itself.

Vzťahu Jareda a Natalie nepraje jej rodina. Ona je totiž niekto a on je len synom koniara. Láske však nerozkážeš. Natalie a Jared poslúchnu svoje srdcia a rozhodnú sa ujsť a začať spoločný život ďaleko od všetkých. Jared si mal len zbaliť veci... Ibaže Natalie ostala sedieť na dohodnutom mieste sama, s kufrom plným snov, dierou v hrudi a vedomím, že ju podrazil a oklamal. Ušla z domu, zriekla sa vlastného mena aj rodiny, aby mohla byť s chlapcom, ktorého miluje, ktorému verila... a ktorý ju tak zbabelo zradil.
Až po dlhých desiatich rokoch sa začnú rozmotávať pavučiny klamstiev, o ktorých Natalie vôbec netušila. A zdá sa, že všetko je úplne inak, než si myslela. Zmení to jej vzťah k Jaredovi? Alebo je už neskoro a ich nekonečná láska dávno vyprchala?

Jared a ona sú si súdení, to vedia obaja, no podarí sa im získať to, čo im bolo kedysi vzaté? Podarí sa im prekonať rokmi živenú nenávisť ich rodín a nájsť konečne svoje šťastie?
