Kniha - autor Scott Carney, 272 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná A New York Times bestseller and a Book of the Year for the Evening Standard and The Times. Is getting a little less comfortable the key to living a happier, healthier life? When journalist Scott Carney came across a picture of a man in his fifties sitting on a glacier in just his underwear, he assumed it must be a hoax. Dutch guru Wim Hof claimed he could control his body temperature using his mind and teach others to do the same. Sceptical, Carney signed up to Hof’s one-week course, not realising that it would be the start of a four-year journey to unlock his own evolutionary potential. From hyperventilating in a Polish farmhouse to underwater weight training in California, and eventually climbing Mt Kilimanjaro wearing just shorts and running shoes, Carney travelled the world testing out unorthodox methods of body transformation and discovering the science behind them. In What...

Kniha - 288 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Why is paying for things painful? Why are we comfortable overpaying for something in the present just because we've overpaid for it in the past? Why is it easy to pay $4 for a soda on vacation, when we wouldn't spend more than $1 on that same soda at our local grocery store? We think of money as numbers, values, and amounts, but when it comes down to it, when we actually use our money, we engage our hearts more than our heads. Emotions play a powerful role in shaping our financial behavior, often making us our own worst enemies as we try to save, access value, and spend responsibly. In Dollars and Sense, bestselling author and behavioral economist Dan Ariely teams up with financial comedian and writer Jeff Kreisler to challenge many of our most basic assumptions about the precarious relationship between our brains and our money. In doing so, they undermine many of personal finance's most sacred...

Part 1 - Language as an isolated phenomenon - How do languages develop, what are the differences and similarities between the languages spoken around the world? Chapters on the origin and use of grammar. Part 2 - Evolution of man - Intellectual development (from Neanderthal to social guru), but also physiological changes in evolution (e.g. brain capacity compared to apes) that have a bearing on our ability to develop language.

Through this lens, procrastination may be a necessary ripening; hiding an act of freedom; and shyness the appropriate confusion and helplessness that accompanies the first stage of revelation.

Kniha - česky Toto je proměna, nádherná a drsná Verwandlung. Co je ti do toho není příběh jakéhosi erotikou nabitého heterosexuálního vztahu či milostného trojúhelníku. Je to obsese. Obsedantní touha porozumět tomu druhému a sobě, a to za každou, možná i nejvyšší cenu. Tabu lásky mezi třináctiletým teenagerem a ženou v Kristových letech ukazuje nejenom na střet osobních hodnot, ale také na střet jazyka, řeči a kultur v rámci jedné pokrytectvím poznamenané společnosti. S každou kapitolou se k sobě dvě bytosti dostávají stále blíž a blíž. Až se setkají na místě, kam za nimi nikdo nemůže a které jim nikdo nedokáže vzít. Možná tam směřujeme všichni, jenom se toho ještě bojíme. Co kdybychom se jednou proměnili v to, co skutečně jsme?! Pozor, kniha způsobuje fyziologické reakce!

Oživím zabudnuté hry Klnka klnka, Na slepé baby či Hoja, Ďunďa, hoja. A nezabudol som na Máriu Teréziu, našu panovníčku, na kyslú kapustu, ktorá patrila k častým jedlám, na prvé hračky, krpce, kedysi bežnú obuv, ani na tisíc ďalších vecí.

Kniha - autor Thomas L. Friedman, 486 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná We all sense it - our lives are speeding up at a dizzying rate. Thank You for Being Late exposes the tectonic movements that are reshaping the world today and explains how to get the most out of them. Friedman's thesis is that the planet's three largest forces - Moore's law (technology), the market (globalization) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss) - are all accelerating at once. Thank You for Being Late is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to think about this era of accelerations and how we can anchor ourselves in the eye of this storm. It's also an argument for 'being late' - for pausing to appreciate this amazing historical epoch we're passing through and reflecting on its possibilities and dangers. Written with his trademark vitality, wit, and optimism, and with unequalled access to many of those at the forefront of the...
