Utiš svou mysl a osvoboď se od úzkosti - deník a pracovní sešit
Co kdyby skutečnou příčinou vašeho utrpení nebyly vnější okolnosti, lidé ani minulost nebo budoucnost, ale vaše vlastní myšlení?
Kniha, kterou máte před sebou, přináší radikálně jednoduchý a zároveň hluboký pohled na lidskou psychiku: myšlenky jsou samy o sobě neutrálními informacemi a teprve přemýšlení o nich vytváří bolest a vyvolává strach, pochybnosti a úzkost.
Deník a pracovní sešit Utiš svou mysl a osvoboď se od úzkosti nabízí srozumitelné a okamžitě použitelné techniky ke zklidnění mysli a postupného zbavení se duševního utrpení. Je praktickým průvodcem pro každého, kdo se cítí zahlcen tlakem, stresem či nároky současné doby a hledá jednoduchou, ale účinnou cestu k osvobození se od mentální bolesti.
Velkou inspirací je přístup Josepha Nguyena, autora knihy a mentora zaměřeného na osobní transformaci a vnitřní svobodu. Spisovatel je známý svým důrazem na jednoduchost a praktičnost – učí, že skutečný klid nevzniká změnou okolností, nýbrž změnou vztahu k vlastním myšlenkám. Jeho práce vychází z principu, že utrpení je často výsledkem nepozorovaných mentálních vzorců, které lze vědomě opustit. Díky jeho přístupu pochopíte, že klid není něco, co musíte složitě hledat, ale přirozený stav, k němuž se můžete navrátit.
Pokud toužíte po větší životní rovnováze, lepším spánku a svobodě od přetížení, právě držíte v rukou první krok ke změně.

Some Men In London: Queer Life, 1960-1967
The second in a major two-part anthology uncovering the rich reality of life for queer men in London, from the end of the Second World War to decriminalization in 1967
In the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated.
Peter Parker's fascinating new compendium explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as Francis Bacon, Joe Orton and Kenneth Williams, or living lives of quiet - or occasionally rowdy - anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalization.
This second volume, from 1960 to 1967, shows how key elements in British society gradually changed their views on homosexuality, resulting in the landmark 1967 act by which it was no longer considered a crime if it took place between adults in private. This did not end violence, discrimination and prejudice, but it at least curbed official persecution. Some Men in London is a testament to queer life and its thriving, joyous subculture - a subculture without which the 1960s would have been immeasurably impoverished.

Tree Lore
From druids’ oaks to deadly yews, tempting apples to erotic peaches, humanity has long imbued trees with spiritual and superstitious meaning. Trees run deep in our folklore and mythology. Their leaves, branches, roots and fruits have all served as metaphors for human needs and desires – from strength and resilience to shelter and sustenance. Each species’ unique qualities have inspired fables, sayings and symbolism. In this new book, Sally Coulthard explores the enchanted world of tree folklore, where nature and legend intertwine. From lovers’ trysting trees and festive firs to boughs of peace and hangman’s favourites, she examines 50 of the world’s most iconic species and their myths and magical associations. Discover the chivalric allure of medieval holly, how willow became a symbol of mourning, and why blackthorn was feared as the witch’s tree. Learn why the Greeks revered the fig, the Vikings the mighty ash, and how the banyan came to embody protection and fertility. Beautifully illustrated, Tree Lore: The Myths, Folklore and Meaning of Trees is more than a guide to familiar species – it reveals the rich, often surprising ways we relate to the natural world. Blending storytelling with botanical and cultural history, it places trees firmly at the heart of the human story.
Coming Alive on the Ride
Answering the call of the open road-from Seoul to Silicon Valley to riding 40,000 life-changing miles across America. When Michael Yang bought his first motorcycle, he was a teenager who'd just moved to America. He knew little English and had few friends. Still, whenever he rode that green Yamaha, he felt more in touch with life's possibilities. The bike was stolen a few months later, but Yang never forgot the feeling. It wasn't until he was in his 40s that Yang got back on a motorcycle. By then, he'd settled into Silicon Valley amidst the technology revolution; and founded, scaled, and sold a half-billion-dollar tech startup. Life was a blur until he revved up his adventure bike and began riding into unfamiliar landscapes. Coming Alive on the Ride narrates more than 40,000 miles of Yang's travels, from California's coast to the upper reaches of Alaska, to Canada's far eastern edge, and more. One of the things about long motorcycle trips is that there's a lot of time to think. Yang describes the unique bliss of watching the miles pass beneath two wheels as he relives moments from his past-growing up in Korea during the turbulent years after the Korean War, and moving to America as a fourteen-year-old-all the while taking in North America's astounding scenery, from the stillness of the desert to heart-racing glimpses of a bison herds and grand mountain ranges. Somewhere along the way, it happens: Past experiences and future aspirations converge into a present discovery. Yang's inspiring memoir is a reminder that, if we slow down and tune in our senses, adventure inspires and instructs the way nothing else can. Yang shows what magic awaits when we make room for adventure in our daily lives.
Disclosure
'It was exciting when it started, then comfortable and domestic, and over time we grew apart. If it had been real, our relationship wouldn't have made a chapter in a memoir. But Mark was a fictional character, contrived by the British state to violate me and undermine the values I held dearest. And the entire time, EN31 was sitting around the corner, writing it all down, watching our lives unfold.'In 2003, British police infiltrated a group of idealistic young environmental activists, forming sexual relationships and spying without warrant on hundreds of innocent civilians. Kate Wilson fought back. She took the Met to court, at times battling alone without funding or legal representation, enduring bullying, psychological intrusion and further state surveillance. It took her nearly twenty years to uncover the eerie truth about Britain's secret political police. In her own words, and those of the officers who documented her every move, this is Kate's story.
Kylian Mbappe
'Inspiring. Gritty. Triumphant. Laurens gives us a front row seat to Mbappe's epic rise to the top of the football world.'Jeff Benedict'The authoritative read on one of football's biggest stars' Sam Wallace'An illuminating read about one of the twenty-first century's main characters' Joey D'Urso'The story of Mbappé deserved to be told by someone with a sharp mind and pen, who understands Kylian and his background. Julien ticks all the boxes' Guillem Balague______________________________'Only the second teenager to have scored a goal in a World Cup Final! Welcome to the club - it's great to have some company!' PeléThis was the praise lauded upon Kylian Mbappé who, at just 19 years of age, led France to triumph at the 2018 World Cup. As golden confetti rained down, millions across the globe watched as the young man kissed the iconic trophy; the heir to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best footballer in the world had announced himself. It was his crowning moment. In Kylian Mbappé: The Definitive Biography, Julien Laurens, the world's leading French football journalist, paints a vivid portrait of Mbappé's meteoric rise to global stardom. After a decade covering Kylian's career, Julien has had unprecedented access to the player's friends, coaches and teammates past and present. Exploring Mbappé's humble upbringing in the suburbs of Paris and schooling at the famed Clairefontaine academy, his peerless rise with AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as his dream move to Real Madrid where his career has reached new heights, this extensive biography crafts an intimate account of Kylian's life. Julien takes us into the inner workings of Mbappé's psyche, as we witness how becoming a world superstar at just 19 affected the young Parisian. From the complex relationship he had with his boyhood club and its hierarchy to valiantly losing against Lionel Messi's Argentina in the 2022 World Cup Final, and becoming the new face of Real Madrid's galácticos, Julien shows us how the Mbappé that stars for club and country today is unrecognisable from the one who won the World Cup with France in 2018.
