conspiracy 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.

Ve svém bestselleru Disciplína je osud předložil Ryan Holiday stoické argumenty pro život plný sebekázně. V tomto očekávaném třetím díle série Stoických ctností obhajuje nutnost dělat to, co je správné – i když to není snadné.Podle starověkých učenců vycházelo vše, co v životě stojí za to, ze silného smyslu pro spravedlnost – neboli z odhodlání dělat správné věci, ať už jsou jakkoli obtížné. Abychom byli odvážní, moudří a ukáznění, musíme začít spravedlností. Vliv moderního světa nám často říká, že jednat spravedlivě není povinností člověka. Holiday tvrdí, že to prostě není pravda – a skutečnost, že tak málo lidí má dnes sílu stát si za svým přesvědčením, vysvětluje mnohé o tom, proč jsme tak nešťastní.V knize Right Thing, Right Now se Holiday opírá o fascinující příběhy historických osobností, jako byli Marcus Aurelius, Florence Nightingale, Jimmy Carter, Gándhí a Frederick Douglass, jejichž příklady laskavosti, čestnosti, poctivosti a věrnosti můžeme napodobovat a mít je jako pilíře poctivého života. Prostřednictvím životů těchto vzorů se čtenáři dozvědí, jak proměňující sílu má život podle morálního kodexu. Na druhé straně také díky varovným příběhům nespravedlivých vůdců zjistí, jaké důsledky má špatně formované svědomí.Stoikové nikdy netvrdili, že žít spravedlivě je snadné, pouze že je to nutné. A že o alternativě – obětovat své zásady pro něco menšího – uvažují jen zbabělci a hlupáci. Kniha Right Thing Right Now je mocným protijedem na morální selhání naší moderní doby a návodem, jak žít ctnostně.

V knihe Odvaha volá Ryan Holiday rozoberá prvky strachu v prejave zbabelosti, prvky odvahy v prejave statočnosti a prvky hrdinstva v prejave chrabrosti. Prostredníctvom pútavých príbehov o historických a súčasných lídroch, vrátane Charlesa De Gaulla, Florence Nightingale a Martina Luthera Kinga Jr., nám Holiday ukazuje, ako prekonať strach a nachádzať odvahu v každodennom živote. Ponorte sa hlbšie do morálnych dilem a odvážnych skutkov dôležitých osobností starovekých aj moderných dejín. Ak sa vo svete, v ktorom je priveľa strachu, ľudia iba prizerajú, radšej sa prispôsobujú konvenciám a zatvárajú oči pred nepríjemnou realitou moderného života, potom potrebujeme odvahu viac ako kedykoľvek predtým. Potrebujeme odvahu tých, ktorí sa neboja prehovoriť, a ľudí, ktorí riskujú. Potrebujeme odvahu aktivistov a dobrodruhov. Potrebujeme odvahu spisovateľov, ktorí hovoria pravdu, a odvahu vodcov, ktorí počúvajú. Potrebujeme, aby sme vstúpili do arény a bojovali.

Často si myslíme, že ti druzí a vnější podmínky definují naše naděje na dosažení životního úspěchu a pocitu naplnění. Ve skutečnosti se náš největší nepřítel skrývá uvnitř nás: naše ego. Na počátku naší dráhy nás brzdí v učení a rozvíjení talentu. Rostoucí úspěch nás může oslepit, takže ztrácíme schopnost vidět vlastní chyby, což zasévá budoucí problémy. Při neúspěchu ego umocňuje každé zranění a ztěžuje nápravu. V každé fázi nám vlastní ego stojí v cestě. Ve světě, kde jsou v popředí sociální média a realitní show, je boj s egem nezbytný. Ego je nepřítel nám nabízí zbraň k tomuto boji. Díky lekcím z této knihy, jak uvádí Holiday, budete méně investovat do příběhu, který vyprávíte o své vlastní výjimečnosti, a v důsledku toho budete osvobozeni, abyste mohli vykonat dílo s přesahem tak, jak jste si předsevzali . Ryan Holiday, oblíbený autor bestsellerů jako Stoikův průvodce pro každý den nebo Klíčem je klid, v této knize motivuje k překonávání svodů našeho ega.

Throughout history, there has been one quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focused and calm in a constantly busy world. Drawing on a wide range of history s greatest thinkers, Holiday shows us how crucial stillness is, and how it can be cultivated in our own lives today. Just as Winston Churchill, Oprah Winfrey and baseball player Sadaharu Oh have done, we can all benefit from stillness to feed into our greater ambitions - whether building a business or simply finding happiness, peace and self-direction. Stillness is the key to the self-mastery, discipline and focus necessary to succeed in this competitive, noisy world.

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.

Ryan Holiday dokázal nadchnout pro moudrost starověku již mnoho čtenářů. Ve své nové knize Klíčem je klid ukazuje na nadčasových základech stoické a buddhistické filosofie, jak se vnitřní klid může stát naší tajnou zbraní. Všichni velcí myslitelé, umělci, sportovci a vizionáři mají jednu nepopiratelnou společnou vlastnost. Je jí schopnost nepodléhat náladám; schopnost nenechat se rozptýlit a vidět tak věci podstatné a na první pohled skryté. Autor načrtává cestu, jak tohoto starodávného, a přece dnes tak naléhavě potřebného způsobu života dosáhnout. Uvádí řadu velkých myslitelů a zajímavých osobností (Konfucius, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Sadaharu Oh, Churchill, Anne Franková...) a na jejich příkladu ukazuje, že vnitřní klid není pouhou nečinností, ale branou k sebeovládání, sebe-mistrovství, sebekázni a soustředění.

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.

Pokud se cítíte frustrovaní, demoralizovaní nebo uvízlí ve vyjetých kolejích, tato kniha vám může pomoci proměnit vaše problémy v životní příležitosti. RYAN HOLIDAY čerpá ze stoické filosofie a ukazuje nám, že to, co blokuje naši cestu, ve skutečnosti otevírá cestu novou a lepší. Stoické zásady lze použít k překonání obtížných nebo dokonce nemožných situací. Stoikové se soustředí na věci, které můžou ovlivnit, a naopak se nezabývají věcmi, které nejsou v jejich moci. Každou novou překážku proměňují na příležitost stát se lepším, silnějším a odolnějším. Kniha Překážka jako cesta se stala kultovní klasikou, kterou si oblíbili čtenáři po celém světě. K fanouškům patří bývalý guvernér a filmová hvězda Arnold Schwarzenegger, ikona hip hopu LL Cool J, irský tenisový profesionál James McGee, ale třeba i trenéři a hráči vítězných týmů jako New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Cubs a mužský basketbalový tým University of Texas.

It s wrecked the careers of promising young geniuses. It s evaporated great fortunes and run companies into the ground. It s made adversity unbearable and turned struggle into shame. Every great philosopher has warned against it, in our most lasting stories and countless works of art, in all culture and all ages. Its name? Ego, and it is the enemy - of ambition, of success and of resilience. In Ego is the Enemy, Ryan Holiday shows us how and why ego is such a powerful internal opponent to be guarded against at all stages of our careers and lives, and that we can only create our best work when we identify, acknowledge and disarm its dangers. Drawing on an array of inspiring characters and narratives from literature, philosophy and history, the book explores the nature and dangers of ego to illustrate how you can be humble in your aspirations, gracious in your success and resilient in your failures. The result is an inspiring and timely reminder that humility and confidence are our greatest friends when confronting the challenges of a culture that tends to fan the flames of ego, a book full of themes and life lessons that will resonate, uplift and inspire.

Říká se, že strach je špatný rádce, ale co když je to přesně naopak? Možná bychom mu měli bedlivě naslouchat, a pak udělat přesný opak toho, co nám radí. Strach není opakem odvahy, ale jejím hybatelem. Odvaha je pak cílená práce se strachem a triumf nad ním. Okamžik pravdy. Někdo jednou řekl, že stoik je člověk, který pošle osud do prdele. Přesně tak. Stoik vzdoruje. Bojuje. Musí si vyvzdorovat život, jaký chce. Jsme tady na velmi krátkou dobu. Jak s tímto časem naložíte? Jako zbabělec? Jaké šance necháváte nevyužité? Představte si děsivé náklady přízemnosti. Strach, který pociťujete, je skvělým znamením. Pokud se od vás nikdy nepožaduje odvaha, žijete nudný život. Vystavujte se situacím, které vás nutí skočit. Budete stateční? Vyslyšíte volání? Půjdete s kůží na trh? Jaký charakter ukážete světu? Takto úsečně, provokativně a apelativně promlouvá Ryan Holiday v první ze čtyř knih série o stoických ctnostech. ODVAHA - DISCIPLINA - SPRAVEDLIVOST - MOUDROST Jasný a inspirativní návod, jak rozvíjet tuto nejvyšší lidskou ctnost. -- Robert Greene Ve světě, kde vládne strach - kde lidé raději stojí stranou, než aby vystoupili proti nespravedlnosti, kde se podřizují konvencím, než aby vsadili na sebe, a kde zavírají oči před nehezkou realitou moderního života - potřebujeme odvahu více než kdy jindy. Potřebujeme odvahu whistleblowerů a lidí, kteří riskují. Potřebujeme odvahu aktivistů a dobrodruhů. Potřebujeme odvahu spisovatelů, kteří říkají pravdu, a odvahu vůdců, kteří jim naslouchají. Potřebujeme, abyste i vy vstoupili do arény s odvahou a bojovali.

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.

If we do what is right, everything else will follow: happiness, success, meaning, reputation, love. This is central to Stoic wisdom. The path isn t always easy, but it is essential, and the alternative - taking the easy route - leads only to cowardice and folly.In the third book in his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday explores the crucial role that integrity plays in every good life. From pillars of upright living like Ulysses S. Grant and Marcus Aurelius, to the cautionary tales of Napoleon and F.Scott Fitzgerald, this book shows us the power of owning our convictions and acting in accordance with our beliefs - and the perils of an ill-formed conscience. Our conscience, our sense of justice, is our first and our last strength: we can train it, hone it and fortify it, but above all, we must never lose it. This book shows us how.

Rímsky cisár Marcus Aurelius mal zaujímavý zvyk. Či už v stane priamona bojisku, alebo doma v paláci, vždy si našiel chvíľu len pre seba, abymohol písať. Nerobil to pre žiadne publikum, na žiaden účel. Všetkyslová adresoval sebe samému. Výsledkom tohto zvyku bol text, ktoréhomyšlienky sú platné aj po takmer dvoch tisícročiach a ktorý neustáleinšpiruje mnohých mysliteľov a spisovateľov.Jedným z nich je aj autor tejto knihy – mladý americký podnikateľRyan Holiday, ktorý na základe úvah Marca Aurelia a jeho filozofiestoicizmu vytvoril návod na prekonanie čohokoľvek negatívneho, čoživot prináša, či už ide o súkromie, alebo o prácu.

Aby človek ovládol čokoľvek druhé, musí najprv ovládnuť seba – svoje emócie, svoje myšlienky, svoje činy. Eisenhower sa raz vyslovil, že sloboda je v skutočnosti príležitosť na uplatnenie sebadisciplíny. Cicero nazýval cnosť zdržanlivosti (čo je len iný výraz pre disciplínu) ozdobou života. Bez hraníc a obmedzení riskujeme nielen to, že nerozvinieme svoj plný potenciál, ale ohrozíme to, čo sme už dosiahli a privoláme si biedu a hanbu.V dnešnom svete plnom pokušení a výstrelkov je táto staroveká idea potrebnejšia než kedykoľvek predtým. V knihe Disciplína je osud čerpá Holiday z príbehov historických osobností, ktoré nám môžu byť vzorom ako piliere sebadisciplíny, ale spomína aj niekoľko varovných príbehov. Autor prostredníctvom týchto pútavých príkladov učí čitateľov o sile sebadisciplíny a rovnováhy a varuje pred nebezpečenstvom extravagancie a hedonizmu.

9/11 was an inside job. The Holocaust is a myth promoted to serve Jewish interests. The shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School were a false flag operation. Climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese government. These are all conspiracy theories. A glance online or at bestseller lists reveals how popular some of them are. Even if there is plenty of evidence to disprove them, people persist in propagating them. Why? Philosopher Quassim Cassam explains how conspiracy theories are different from ordinary theories about conspiracies. He argues that conspiracy theories are forms of propaganda and their function is to promote a political agenda. Although conspiracy theories are sometimes defended on the grounds that they uncover evidence of bad behaviour by political leaders, they do much more harm than good, with some resulting in the deaths of large numbers of people. There can be no clearer indication that something has gone wrong with our intellectual and political culture than the fact that conspiracy theories have become mainstream. When they are dangerous, we cannot afford to ignore them. At the same time, refuting them by rational argument is difficult because conspiracy theorists discount or reject evidence that disproves their theories. As conspiracy theories are so often smokescreens for political ends, we need to come up with political as well as intellectual responses if we are to have any hope of defeating them.

What makes people believe in conspiracy theories? Why have they taken over our political sphere? And how do we counter them before it s too late?The world has always had conspiracy theories. From the Illuminati to the deep state, the JFK assassination to the death of Princess Diana - there have always been those who believe that events are manipulated by shadowy forces with sinister intent. But in recent years, conspiracism has colonised the mainstream.These days, it is a booming industry, a political strategy and a pseudo-religion - and it s threatening the foundations of liberal democracy. Where once political battles were fought over ideas and values, it now feels as though we re arguing over the nature of reality itself. The problem is bigger than lizard people or UFOs: left unchecked, conspiracy theories have the power to warp the fabric of society and justify unspeakable crimes.In Conspiracy Theory: The Story of an Idea, Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey pull back the curtain on conspiracy theories: where they come from, who promotes them, how they work and what they re doing to us. From biblical myth to online hysteria, this book explains what happens when the human gift for storytelling goes wrong - and how we might restore our common reality.

Vzhledem k nízkému věku toho má Jack Ryan za sebou poměrně dost – těžké zranění z války v Afghánistánu, které ho málem doživotně zmrzačilo, náročnou rekonvalescenci, doktorát z ekonomie a práci ekonomického analytika v CIA, kterou před svým okolím a dokonce i před vlastní ženou (Keira Knightley) úspěšně tají.

From the twice Man Booker longlisted author of From a Low and Quiet Sea Donal Ryan, one of our most remarkable writers, has produced a book of short stories of such visceral power that they hit you in the solar plexus. He deals with the dark side of modern Irish life and produces sentences of titanic impact. IRISH MAIL ON SUNDAYAn old man looks into the fearful eyes of a burglar left to guard him while his brother is beaten; an Irish priest in a war-torn Syrian town teaches its young men the art of hurling; the driver of a car which crashed, killing a teenage girl, forges a connection with the girl s mother; a squad of broken friends assemble to take revenge on a rapist; a young man sets off on his morning run, reflecting on the ruins of his relationship, but all is not as it seems.Donal Ryan s short stories pick up where his acclaimed novels The Spinning Heart and The Thing About December left off, dealing with the human cost of loneliness, isolation and displacement. Sometimes this is present in the ordinary, the mundane; sometimes it is triggered by a fateful encounter or a tragic decision. At the heart of these stories, crucially, is how people are drawn to each other and cling on to love, often in desperate circumstances.In haunting and often startling prose, Donal Ryan has captured the brutal beauty of the human heart in all its hopes and failings._________ Donal Ryan is a heartbreaker, his quicksilver prose laced with ... wistful rhythms ... These breathtaking stories explore human love against an uneasy landscape of violence and desperation... Donal finds hope in dark corners. DAILY MAIL Donal Ryan is a master of the magnetic first line ... His faithful subject is rural despair; the poetry of adversity, the baffling fortitude of intrinsically decent people ... This collection shows Ryan adding his own elastic yet distinctive voice to O Connor s impeccable tradition. GUARDIAN

A magisterial, one-volume history of political thought from Herodotus to the present, Ancient Athens to modern democracy - from author and professor Alan RyanThis is a book about the answers that historians, philosophers, theologians, practising politicians and would-be revolutionaries have given to one question: how should human beings best govern themselves? Almost every modern government claims to be democratic; but is democracy really the best way of organising our political life? Can we manage our own affairs at all? Should we even try? In the west, do we actually live in democracies? In this extraordinary book Alan Ryan engages with the great thinkers of the past to show us how vividly their ideas speak to us in today s uncertain world.ALAN RYAN was born in London in 1940 and taught for many years at Oxford, where he was a Fellow of New College and Reader in Politics. He was Professor of Politics at Princeton from 1988 to 1996, when he returned to Oxford to become Warden of New College and Professor of Political Theory until his retirement in 2009. His previous books include The Philosophy of John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell: A Political Life and John Dewey and the High Tide of American Liberalism. He is a Fellow of the British Academy.Reviews of On Politics: An engaging and smart survey of major political thinkers ... Through Ryan [they] speak directly to the present Mark Mazower, Prospect Ryan s book is a magnificent piece of work, clear (even when the ideas he s exploring are obscure) and engaging (even when the theory in the original is forbidding) ... anyone remotely interested in political theory will profit from reading or dipping into Ryan s On Politics, whether this is their first acquaintance with the canon of political theory or whether they have been Hobbing and Locking for decades ...
