Conspiracy : A True Story of Power, Sex, and a Billionaire's Secret Plot to Destroy a Media Empire - Ryan Holiday

Conspiracy theories are legion. Conspiracies are rare. And of the few that do exist, fewer are ever discovered, let alone explained. This story is the exception. In 2016, media giant Gawker was forced to declare bankruptcy after a $140 million dollar judgment in court over an illegally recorded sex tape of Hulk Hogan. The case was no accident: it was the result of a nearly decade-long plot masterminded by Facebook and Paypal billionaire Peter Thiel. With exclusive access to all the key players, Ryan Holiday takes us behind the scenes of this extraordinary and at times surreal story, and transforms the events into both a dissection of that controversial methodology - conspiracy - and an eye-opening cautionary tale on the use, abuse and consequences of power and secrecy in the modern age.

The Obstacle is the Way : The Ancient Art of Turning Adversity to Advantage - Ryan Holiday

We give up too easily. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling 'modern Machiavelli' Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better. If the competition threatens you, it's time to be fearless, to display your courage. An impossible deadline becomes a chance to show how dedicated you are. And as Ryan discovered as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is generating controversy - it's also potentially generating publicity. The Stoic philosophy - that what is in the way, is the way - can be applied to any problem: it's a formula invented more than 2,000 years ago, whose effectiveness has been proven in battles and board rooms ever since. From Barack Obama's ability to overcome obstacles in his election races, to the design of the iPhone, the stoic philosophy has helped its users become world-beaters.

Kľúčom je pokoj - Ryan Holiday

Všetci veľkí lídri, myslitelia, umelci, bojovníci a vizionári majú spoločnú jednu schopnosť. Umožňuje im nepodľahnúť emóciám, utíšiť rozháranú myseľ a nenechať sa rozptyľovať neustálym prúdom myšlienok. Ryan Holiday túto vlastnosť nazýva vnútorný pokoj – schopnosť zachovať si rozvahu, aj keď je svet okolo nás rozbúrený.Vo svojej knihe ponúka návod, ako si túto dnes ešte potrebnejšiu schopnosť môže v sebe vypestovať každý z nás. Poznatky a zásady čerpá od najväčších mysliteľov z histórie i súčasnosti, ako sú Konfucius, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, John Stuart Mill, Nietzsche a Thich Nhat Han. Pokoj nie je nečinnosť. Je to vstupná brána k sebazdokonaleniu, disciplíne a sústredeniu. Zároveň je cestou k získaniu spokojnosti a duševnej pohody v našom hlučnom, chaotickom a stresom preplnenom svete.

Disciplína je osud - Ryan Holiday

Užijte si skvělé dobrodružství, odehrávající se na stránkách této knihy, která se stala okamžitým bestsellerem podle New York Times, Wall Street Journal a také USA Today! Autor Ryan Holliday svou knihou Odvaha volá postavil první pilíř ze čtyř ctností, na nichž stojí umění života stoika. V této druhé knize čtyřdílné série oslavuje Holliday úžasnou sílu sebekázně na příkladech osobností, které ji uměly plně prokázat. Aby se člověk dokázal postavit jakékoliv výzvě, musí v první řadě ovládnout sám sebe - své emoce, myšlenky a činy. Jak trefně pravil Eisenhower, svoboda je naší příležitostí ukázat sebekázeň. Cicero nazval ctnost střídmosti třpytem života. Bez kázně a sebeovládání riskujeme, že nejen že nenaplníme svůj potenciál, ale také ohrožujeme to, čeho jsme dosud dosáhli. V dnešním světě plném pokušení a přebytku je tato teze důležitější než dříve. V knize Disciplína je osud Holiday čerpá z osudů postav z historie, kterými se můžeme inspirovat, včetně baseballového hráče Lou Gehriga, královny Alžběty II., boxera Floyda Pattersona, Marka Aurelia a také spisovatelky Toni Morrisonové. Jako varování přikládá příběhy Napoleona, nezřízeně bažícího po moci, F. Scotta Fitzgeralda a Babea Rutha. Prostřednictvím těchto vyprávění si můžeme uvědomit přednosti sebekázně a rovnováhy a stranit se výstřelků a požitkářství hédonismu. Jádrem stoicismu jsou čtyři jednoduché ctnosti: Odvaha, disciplína, spravedlnost a moudrost. Staří stoikové věřili, že všechno dobré se odvíjí právě za jejich základě. Kniha Disciplína vás povede po cestě k umění sebeovládání, na kterém závisí všechny ostatní schopnosti vedoucí k úspěchu. Disciplína je podmínkou, na níž stojí šance uspět a vyhnout se selhání.

The intelligent and outspoken child of radical Marxists, and the great-grandaughter of Iran's last emperor, Satrapi bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country. Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life. Amidst the tragedy, Marjane's child's eye view adds immediacy and humour, and her story of a childhood at once outrageous and ordinary, beset by the unthinkable and yet buffered by an extraordinary and loving family, is immensely moving.

Agent Jack: The True Story of MI5´s Secret Nazi Hunter - Robert Hutton

June 1940. Britain is Europe's final bastion of freedom - and Hitler's next target. But not everyone fears a Nazi invasion. In factories, offices and suburban homes are men and women determined to do all they can to hasten it.Throughout the Second World War, Britain's defence against the enemy within was Eric Roberts, a former bank clerk from Epsom. Equipped with an extraordinary ability to make people trust him, he was recruited into the shadowy world of espionage by the great spymaster Maxwell Knight. Roberts penetrated first the Communist Party and then the British Union of Fascists, before playing his greatest role for MI5 - as Hitler's man in London. Codenamed Jack King, he single-handedly built a network of hundreds of British Nazi sympathisers, with many passing secrets to him in the mistaken belief that he was a Gestapo officer. Operation Fifth Column, run by a brilliant woman scientist and a Jewish aristocrat with a sideline in bomb disposal, was kept so secret it was omitted from the reports MI5 sent to Winston Churchill. In a narrative that grips like a thriller, Robert Hutton tells the fascinating story of an operation whose existence has only recently come to light. Drawing on newly declassified documents and private family archives, Agent Jack shatters the comfortable notion that Britain could never have succumbed to fascism, and celebrates - at last - the courage of individuals who protected the country they loved at great personal risk.

Politika a média v konzumní společnosti (978-80-247-3667-9)

Elektronická kniha - autor Vlastimil Růžička, 192 stran Publikace si klade za cíl mapovat, analyzovat a popsat dosud známé procesy provázanosti mediální komunikace s veřejnou politikou. Měla by být souhrnem toho, co v současné době sociální vědy řeší a jaké konceptuální rámce k tomu uplatňují. Veřejná politika a média se v tomto případě pojí s normativně-ontologickými principy, jež jsou pojímány jako součást praktické filozofie. Autor, který se hlásí k odkazu Erica Voegelina, sleduje různé výklady pojmu veřejný zájem, občanská společnost, percepce demokratického a právního státu a dostává se k úskalím teorie modernizace v posttotalitních zemích a k proměnám jazyka v globalizovaném světě takzvaných nových médií. Závěr knihy posiluje Voegelinovu teorii o nutnosti zotavení sociálních věd z destrukce pozitivistické éry. Knihu, která propojuje soudobé poznatky z mediální a vědecké sféry, jistě ocení nejen studenti sociálních věd, ale svým netradičním přístupem určitě...

Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel's Targeted Assassinations (1473694744)

Kniha - autor Ronen Bergman, 756 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná From the very beginning of its statehood in 1948, the instinct to take every measure to defend the Jewish people has been hardwired into Israel's DNA. This is the riveting inside account of the targeted assassinations that have been used countless times, on enemies large and small, sometimes in response to attacks against the Israeli people and sometimes pre-emptively. Rise and Kill First counts their successes, failures and the moral and political price exacted on those who carried out the missions which have shaped the Israeli nation, the Middle East and the entire world.

Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks - Patrick Radden Keefe

Patrick Radden Keefe's work has been recognised by prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US to the Orwell Prize and the Baillie Gifford in the UK, for his meticulously reported, hypnotically engaging work on the many ways people behave badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from the New Yorker. As Keefe observes in his preface: 'They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.'Keefe explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines; examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist; spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain; chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black-market arms merchant; and profiles a passionate death-penalty attorney who represents the 'worst of the worst', among other bravura works of literary journalism.The appearance of his byline in the New Yorker is always an event; collected here for the first time readers can see how his work forms an always enthralling yet also deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up to them.
