An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, the new novel from the author of A Man Called Ove is a “quirky, big-hearted novel….Wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure” (People).Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world. Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None of them is entirely who they appear to be. And all of them—the bank robber included—desperately crave some sort of rescue. As the authorities and the media surround the premises, these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion a chain of events so unexpected that even they can hardly explain what happens next. Proving once again that Backman is “a master of writing delightful, insightful, soulful, character-driven narratives” (USA TODAY), Anxious People “captures the messy essence of being human….It’s clever and affecting, as likely to make you laugh out loud as it is to make you cry” (The Washington Post). This “endlessly entertaining mood-booster” (Real Simple) is proof that the enduring power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope can save us—even in the most anxious of times.

Audiokniha: Nášup emocí od autora, který vás rozveselil i rozplakal romány Muž jménem Ove (Nejlepší audiokniha roku 2014) a Babička pozdravuje a omlouvá se. O třiašedesátileté Britt-Marii někteří tvrdí, že je pasivně agresivní, zpomalená a ukňouraná bába. Když po čtyřiceti letech manželství opustí nevěrného manžela, usadí se ve vesnici Borg, v níž po finanční krizi zůstaly jen cedule s nápisem „Na prodej“ a pizzerie, která je cítit pivem. A fotbal. A také fotbalová přípravka, která nutně potřebuje trenéra. Britt-Marie fotbal nesnáší. V zoufalé situaci však detaily typu ‒ vybraná osoba tu práci opravdu, ale opravdu nechce ‒ nehrají žádnou roli. Stejně jako nehrají roli případné předsudky (ne že by Britt-Marie nějaké měla, to samozřejmě ne). Příběh o druhých šancích, prvních výkopech a o tom, že soda vyčistí skoro všechno. Četby audioknihy v režii Michala Bureše se zhostila Valérie Zawadská, ostřílená dabérka a interpretka disponující charakteristickým charismatickým hlasovým projevem, která se ujala již vyprávění autorova předchozího titulu Babička pozdravuje a omlouvá se. „Zawadská dokáže odlišit všechny postavy v příběhu dokonale, často jen drobnými změnami intonace. Díky pečlivosti režiséra Michala Bureše klade důraz na správná slova a slabiky, takže text plyne k posluchači hladce a bez jakýchkoliv zaškobrtnutí. Zaposlouchat se do audioknihy a následně si zamilovat Britt-Marii i všechny další postavy románu, je tak velice snadné.“ – naposlech.cz Střídavě s finesou a střídavě hrubými tahy štětce vypráví Fredrik Backman o kulturních střetech, ke kterým dochází při setkání dvou odlišných světů. – Litteraturmagazinet Fredrik Backman stihl od svého debutu vytvořit celý literární vesmír. Charakteristický je pro něj mnohoznačný jazyk a schopnost vylíčit břitké, důvěrně známé karikatury, postupně propracované do podoby románových postav z masa a kostí. – Svenska Dagbladet

Audiokniha: Závěrečný díl trilogie z hokejového městečka Medvědín. Po tragických událostech, o kterých nikdo nechce mluvit, udělala medvědínská komunita to, co vždycky – všichni sklonili hlavy a pokusili se jít dál. Po dvou letech se dokonce zdá, že se městu podařilo zacelit dávné rány. U jezera vyrostlo nové hokejové kluziště, Maya Anderssonová a Benji Ovich se vracejí domů a jejich shledání se starými známými je plné radosti a optimismu. Jenže pod povrchem se pořád skrývá něco, co Medvědínu brání posunout se dál. Někdejší rivalita se sousedním Hedem nikam nezmizela, a i když se dříve dařilo spory mezi městečky vyřešit v hokejových kláních, nyní se blíží cosi zlověstného. Napětí mezi komunitami roste a je jen otázkou času, kdy násilí přeroste úměrnou mez. Kdy nenávist vzburcuje k činu. A kdy někdo popadne zbraň a zamíří s ní ke stadionu… Švédský spisovatel Fredrick Backman zakončuje svou sérii ve velkolepém stylu a opět nenechá čtenáře vydechnout. „Backmanovou největší předností je dokonalé pochopení složitosti lidské duše. Jeho postavy jsou plnokrevné charaktery, pro něž máme pochopení a s nimiž soucítíme i v okamžiku, kdy provedou něco zavrženíhodného. Soudit je totiž náramně jednoduché, ale snažit se pochopit a odpustit dá mnohem větší práci.“ – Jindřich Göth, Novinky.cz. „Sport může lidi spojovat, dodávat jim pocit pospolitosti, společný cíl a možnost vyšvihnout se mezi elitu – a v neposlední řadě také přilákat sponzory do jednoho upadajícího městečka. Může ale také rozdělovat a vychovávat z dětí takové dospělé, kteří chtějí dát gól, ať to stojí, co stojí. I za cenu vztahů nebo morálních hodnot.“ – literatura. „Psychologická hloubka, pestrost charakterů a palčivé morální otázky činí z Medvědína zdařilý obraz uzavřené komunity v moderní společnosti a zároveň vyzrálé dílo, které důstojně navazuje na dosavadní Backmanovu prózu.“ – Anežka Matěnová, literatura. „Autorovy knihy jsou zárukou kvality, a to jak z hlediska děje a postav a stylu psaní, tak i čtenářského prožitku. Možná budete mít nutkání si hned po dočtení knihu přečíst ještě jednou a není se co divit, vždyť v knihách Fredrika Backmana si pokaždé najdete něco nového.“ - Markéta Forejtová, Vaše Literatura. „Fredrik Backman vypráví příběh soutěživosti, přátelství, politiky i rivality biblických proporcí.“ – New York Times. „Backman nenechává žádné emoce bez povšimnutí a vtahuje čtenáře do strhujícího rodinného dramatu, které překračuje hranice hokejové rivality.“ – Library Journal. „(...) zatraceně povedený závěr vynikající série.“ – Booklist.

Vrávoravý pokus otce vysvětlit dvouletému synovi, jak funguje svět. Fredrik Backman vtipně stírá všechny úzkosti a nedostatky rodičů jednadvacátého století v půvabné knize plné poctivých obav a nepodmíněných vyznání lásky, která zasáhnou čtenářovo srdce. Mému synovi. Už teď tě prosím o prominutí. Za všechno, co udělám špatně. Za všechno, k čemu se nedostanu. Za minibus. Za šortky. Za tričko Toto krásné tělo vytvořilo pivo . Za snahu dát si high-five s tvými kamarády. Za tuhle knihu. Knihu o věcech, které si myslím, že bys měl vědět o světě. O fotbalu, IKEA, o tom, jaké je být mužem, o Bohu a smažené zmrzlině Snickers. O tom, jaké je to ztratit klíče od auta a proč musel taťka zabít zpívající plastovou žirafu. Většina této knihy je o snaze být dobrým rodičem. Protože chci, abys věděl, že jsem vážně udělal to nejlepší, co jsem mohl. Nikdo negoogloval tolik jako já.

Malý Noah s dědou chodí sedávat na lavičku a povídají si. Pod lavičkou rostou hyacinty, stejné, jaké děda kdysi pěstoval pro babičku. Děda s Noahem si můžou povídat úplně o všem. O všech otázkách spojených se životem a vesmírem, závažných i nicotných. Při rozhovorech s vnukem si děda vždycky vzpomene, jak se zamiloval do babičky a jak o ni ve stáří přišel. Zatím ji pořád vidí před sebou a děsí se dne, kdy si ji už nebude moci vybavit. Cítí, že jeho svět se mění. Proto by rád zůstal s Noahem na lavičce, kde je stále ještě obklopuje pronikavá vůně hyacintů. Jenže zachytit vzpomínky je čím dál těžší a oba se musejí naučit tomu vůbec nejtěžšímu: umění se rozloučit. Fredrik Backman v této netypické novele líčí boj stárnoucího muže o zachování nejdražších vzpomínek. Činí tak něžně a empaticky, jak to dovede jen on.

Je noc před Štědrým dnem a nemocniční chodbou kráčí žena v šedém, aby si odvedla jednoho z nás. Má s sebou desky se jmény nás všech: pětileté holčičky trpící rakovinou, která maluje svou oblíbenou židličku na červeno, dvacetiletého mladíka leštícího pivní sklenici v milované hospodě, pětačtyřicetiletého muže, který uhání tmou v drahém autě a hledá, do čeho by narazil. Někdo z nás dnes přijde o život, pokud se někdo jiný dobrovolně nevzdá toho svého. Ale nestačí pouze zemřít, protože život není jen to, co právě končí. Život je všechno to, co se stalo předtím. Fredrik Backman umí mistrně vylíčit lidské pochyby a vnitřní démony, aniž ztrácí smysl pro humor. Toto vyprávění je mnohem smutnější než třeba Dickensova Vánoční koleda, ale i zde najdeme naději a možnost všechno napravit - i když za velmi vysokou cenu.

Audiokniha: Humorný pokus otce vysvětlit dvouletému synovi, jak funguje svět. Od autora bestselleru Muž jménem Ove. Generace největších egoistů v dějinách lidstva si pořídila děti a uvědomila si, že je vlastně bezvýznamná. Jak jinak vyléčit všemožné úzkosti a nedostatky rodičů jednadvacátého století, než je shrnout do jedné výpovědi plné upřímných obav, prozrazených (či očekávaných) trapasů, rodinných i osobních historek a nepodmíněných vyznání lásky? Proč spolu lidé válčí? Jak vyrobit ideální „předjídlo“? Co je třeba vědět o fotbale? Za co může Google? Jak se to má s mužností? Co se stalo se zpívající plastovou žirafou? Jak je to vlastně s dobrem a zlem? A na co člověk potřebuje vlastní kapelu…? Všechny ty technologie dostaly naši generaci pod hrozný tlak, jakmile jsme se stali rodiči, rozumíš? Předchozí generace rodičů se mohly vymlouvat, že „nevěděly“. To tak rodiče dělávají. Ty jsi pila víno, když jsi kojila? „Nevěděla jsem.“ Nechali jste nás snídat skořicové rolky? Sedět na zadním sedadle bez pásu? Brala jsi v těhotenství LSD? „Ale prosím tě, my jsme přece nic n-e-v-ě-d-ě-l-i. To bylo v sedmdesátých letech, však víš. Tehdy to vlastně nebylo nebezpečný!“ Ale moje generace ví, jasný? My víme VŠECHNO! Můžeme si to přece vygooglit. Chci, abys věděl, že jsem se snažil úplně, úplně nejvíc, jak jsem uměl. Nechal jsem na hřišti všechno. Vypustil jsem tam duši. Nikdo negooglil tolik jako já... Fredrik Backman (* 1981) Pochází ze Stockholmu, pravidelně píše sloupky do švédských novin a na svůj blog.

Audiokniha: Tohle je jen mezi lidmi a hokejem... Hokejem žije Peter Andersson, bývalý hráč a sportovní ředitel místního klubu, dýchá pro něj sedmnáctiletý hokejový génius a naděje celého města Kevin i bojovný Benji, který se bojí přiznat svoji sexuální orientaci. Bez bruslí na nohou si svůj život nedokáže představit ani talentovaný outsider Amat. Do vítězství v juniorském mistrovství ovšem vkládá společně s nimi naděje celý Medvědín. Peterovu dceru Mayu ale víc než hokej zajímá hraní na kytaru a také Kevin. Neodolá a přijme pozvání na oslavu, po níž si celé město začne klást úplně jinou otázku, než jestli jejich hokejový tým vyhraje, či prohraje.

Things My Son Needs To Know About The World is a tender and funny series of letters from a new father to his son about one of life s most daunting experiences: parenthood From the 18 million copy internationally bestselling author of A Man Called Ove________ You can be whatever you want to be, but that s nowhere near as important as knowing that you can be exactly who you are In between the sleep-obsessed lows and oxytocin-fuelled highs, Backman takes a step back to share his own experience of fatherhood and how he navigates such unchartered territory.

Audiokniha: #1 Bestseller New York Times – predalo sa viac ako 3 milióny kópií! Ove je starší pán, aký žije snáď v každom obytnom dome - večne nevrlý, zatrpknutý frfloš, v ktorom len ťažko odhalíte dobré srdce. Milovaná žena mu umrela, stal sa z neho samotár a pomaly stráca zmysel života. Kedysi býval predsedom spoločenstva vlastníkov domov, ale vystriedali ho už pred niekoľkými rokmi. Rozhodne mu to však nezabránilo vykonávať funkciu strážcu poriadku. Samozvaného. Keď sa do domu naproti prisťahujú mladí hluční susedia a namiesto pozdravu sa im len tak mimochodom podarí nacúvať do Oveho poštovej schránky, a ešte k tomu japonským autom, spustí sa kolotoč nečakaných udalostí. Začína sa príbeh o prekvapujúcom priateľstve, túlavom kocúrovi a najmä o tom, ako sa ľuďom, ktorí sa s Ovem stretnú, zmení život. Knihu Muž menom Ove preložili doteraz do dvadsiatich piatich jazykov a filmové spracovanie existuje od roku 2015. Vôbec nechápe ľudí, ktorí sa dušujú, že túžia iba po dôchodku. Čo sú to za ľudia, ktorí snívajú o ničnerobení a priživovaní sa na spoločnosti? Ove si nič hroznejšie než toto ani nevie predstaviť. Povedali o titule „Očarujúci debut...

Do you feel insecure, jealous, or anxious in your relationships? Do you have a deep fear that people will abandon you? Have you ever stayed in a toxic situation because you didn t believe you deserved better? If so, you may have an anxious attachment style-a way of coping with difficult situations or emotions that is often rooted in an adverse childhood experience (ACE), such as neglect or abuse. Fortunately, there are ways to heal this anxious attachment, and even transform it into an earned secure attachment.In this holistic guide, therapist Jennifer Nurick offers a trauma-informed approach grounded in neuroscience, mindfulness, and polyvagal theory to help you feel more secure in who you are; cultivate self-worth, self-trust, and confidence; and approach your life and relationships from a place of calm, clarity, and connectedness. You ll also learn to release your anxious fear of abandonment, move past reactivity and critical self-talk, and curb the negative impulses that sabotage healthy connections with others and keep you trapped in unhealthy relationships and situations.An insecure, anxious attachment style often springs from an unmet need for security, calm, and understanding in childhood. But you don t have to let your past define you. You can build healthy self-awareness, trust, and empathy; as well as the ability to regulate your emotions, respond to stress, solve problems, and form secure and trusting relationships with others. This book will guide you in doing just that.

By the time of his assassination in 1963, John F. Kennedy stood at the helm of the greatest power the world had ever seen. Born in 1917 to a striving Irish American family that had become among Boston s wealthiest, Kennedy knew political ambition from an early age, and his meteoric rise to become the youngest elected president cemented his status as one of the most mythologized figures in modern history. Beckoned by this gap in our historical knowledge, Harvard professor Fredrik Logevall has spent much of the last decade combing through material unseen or unused by previous biographers, searching for and piecing together the real John F. Kennedy -- resulting in a masterpiece that reviews have agreed will be the definitive work. This first volume of this sweeping two-part biography spans the first thirty-nine years of his life, revealing his early relationships, his formative and heroic experiences during World War II, and his deeply fascinating romance with Jackie Kennedy. In examining these pre-White House years, Logevall chronicles Kennedy s extraordinary life and times with authority and novelistic sensibility, putting the reader in every room where it happened. This landmark work offers the clearest portrait we have of a remarkable figure who still inspires individuals around the world.

Why have rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide risen so sharply, more than doubling in many cases?In this book, Social Psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone usage among adolescents are the twin sources of increased mental distress among teenagers. Haidt delves into the latest psychological and biological research to show how, between 2010 and 2015, childhood and adolescence got rewired.As teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, time online soared while time engaging face-to-face with friends and family plummeted, and so did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom, as parents over-supervised every aspect of their children’s lives offline, depriving them of the experiences they most need to become strong and self-governing adults. The Anxious Generation reveals the fundamental ways in which this shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development – from sleep deprivation to addiction – with separate in-depth analyses of the impact on girls and boys.Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of cutting-edge science, this eye-opening book is a life raft and a powerful call-to-arms, offering practical advice for parents, schools, governments, and teens themselves.

A viral life coach offers a practical, empathetic, and inspiring guide to breaking people-pleasing patterns that can harm our careers, relationships, and physical and psychic health.For most of Hailey Magee’s life, people-pleasing came so naturally to her that she didn’t even have a word for it. When somebody wanted something from her—even a stranger—she gave it, no matter how uncomfortable, exhausted, or resentful she felt inside. People-pleasing, she learned, was a coping mechanism that had kept her physically and emotionally safe in the past, but wreaked havoc on her life in the present—and she was committed to breaking the pattern once and for all. The solution that social media and self-help shelves gave her was to “Advocate for yourself! Speak up! Set boundaries!” But after years of ignoring her feelings and needs, Magee needed more than boundaries; she needed to reconnect with the “self” who was supposed to be doing the advocating. You can’t express yourself if you’re cut off from your feelings. You can’t fight for your needs if you don’t know what they are. And you can’t set boundaries with others until you believe you’re worthy of more than the bare minimum. Radically reconnecting with herself gave Magee the confidence and self-respect she needed to stand up for herself in her relationships. As she experienced a freedom she never thought possible, she became a certified life coach with the mission of helping others do the same. Stop People Pleasing explains how anyone can break the pattern by learning their own feelings, needs, values, and desires; ending cycles of enmeshment and codependency; overcoming guilt; developing physical and sexual agency; and more. It is a refreshingly nuanced guide, exploring fundamental questions like: -How can I tell when my genuine kindness veers into people-pleasing? -How can I set boundaries while maintaining my empathy and generosity? -When is it appropriate to compromise on my needs, and when is it not? Combining social science, psychology, and hands-on coaching exercises, Stop People Pleasing teaches you how to connect with your own feelings, needs, and dreams; courageously advocate for yourself in your relationships with friends, family, and colleagues; soothe yourself through the growing pains of healing; and dive headfirst into pleasure and play. With fresh insight, heartfelt empathy, and a keen personal understanding of the pitfalls of people-pleasing, Magee helps you say what you need and get what you deserve.

There are many reasons to be curious about the way people learn, and the past several decades have seen an explosion of research that has important implications for individual learning, schooling, workforce training, and policy. In 2000, How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition was published and its influence has been wide and deep. The report summarized insights on the nature of learning in school-aged children; described principles for the design of effective learning environments; and provided examples of how that could be implemented in the classroom. Since then, researchers have continued to investigate the nature of learning and have generated new findings related to the neurological processes involved in learning, individual and cultural variability related to learning, and educational technologies. In addition to expanding scientific understanding of the mechanisms of learning and how the brain adapts throughout the lifespan, there have been important discoveries about influences on learning, particularly sociocultural factors and the structure of learning environments. How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures provides a much-needed update incorporating insights gained from this research over the past decade. The book expands on the foundation laid out in the 2000 report and takes an in-depth look at the constellation of influences that affect individual learning. How People Learn II will become an indispensable resource to understand learning throughout the lifespan for educators of students and adults.
