Až do prosince 2018 se nikomu nepodařilo přejít pevninskou Antarktidu sám, bez pomoci a jen vlastními silami.

Upřímná, velmi dojemná kniha naplněná křehkými okamžiky na pozadí nejextrémnějšího prostředí na světě – od Mount Everestu po Antarktidu – ukazuje, jak může každý z nás zavrhnout hranice, překonat ty nejtěžší překážky a zjistit, na čem nejvíc záleží. COLIN O’BRADY je cestovatel, špičkový vytrvalostní sportovec, držitel několika světových rekordů a motivační řečník. Mezi jeho výkony patří první sólový přechod Antarktidy bez podpory, jen pomocí svých vlastních sil; je držitelem horolezeckých rychlostních rekordů Explorers Grand Slamu a Sedmi vrcholů a zdolal nejvyšší vrcholy všech padesáti států USA za rekordních jednadvacet dní. Je absolventem Yaleovy univerzity a žádaným řečníkem, jehož přednášky a neziskové aktivity inspirovaly miliony lidí.

Fower Pessoas is the most original work of translation that you will read this year: a bold reimagining of Fernando PessoaÂ’ s poetry by an exciting next-generation Scottish poet. Following his subjectÂ’ s unique approach to composition, Colin Bramwell puts all four of PessoaÂ’ s heteronyms into a present-day Scots-language vernacular, and so creates a parochial Pessoa for our own times.BramwellÂ’ s adaptation matches his subjectÂ’ s restless lyricism. It is rare to see a translator go toe-to-toe with their subject in this way. The resulting entanglement makes for some astonishing, full-throated poetry.Readers will be delighted by this witty, emotive and artful reinterpretation of an indispensable European poet. Fower Pessoas not only celebrates PessoaÂ’ s extraordinary range of modes and moods, but also marks the arrival of an outstanding new talent in Scottish poetry.

What is business for? Day one of a business course will tell you: it is to maximise shareholder profit. This single idea pervades all our thinking and teaching about business around the world but it is fundamentally wrong, Colin Mayer argues. It has had disastrous and damaging consequences for our economies, environment, politics, and societies. In this urgent call for reform, Prosperity challenges the fundamentals of business thinking. It sets out a comprehensive new agenda for establishing the corporation as a unique and powerful force for promoting economic and social wellbeing in its fullest sense - for customers and communities, today and in the future.First Professor and former Dean of the Säid Business School in Oxford, Mayer is a leading figure in the global discussion about the purpose and role of the corporation. In Prosperity, he presents a radical and carefully considered prescription for corporations, their ownership, governance, finance, and regulation. Drawing together insights from business, law, economics, science, philosophy, and history, he shows how the corporation can realize its full potential to contribute to economic and social wellbeing of the many, not just the few.Prosperity tells us not only how to create and run successful businesses but also how policy can get us there and fix our broken system.

We live in an age of unprecedented individualism. We seek individualistic solutions to our problems, but we can rarely explain failures and successes by looking at one person’s actions, or fix things entirely on our own.

Nearly every scientific discovery, world-changing business, desert island musical album and legendary sports team has a great group at its core. In his revelatory book, Dr Colin Fisher, a foremost expert on group dynamics, demonstrates how to harness the amazing power of groups to achieve great things under the right conditions. Fisher skilfully weaves together the latest science with vivid storytelling. He demonstrates how to build happy groups that cooperate effectively, how to harness the motivating power of competition without getting embroiled in conflict and avoid the pitfalls of conformity. The Collective Edge is a ground-breaking book that will transform your understanding of human behaviour.

Hint: sure, include index funds in your portfolio, but also, side by side, you must include the stocks of companies that you know well and that you could have owned if you weren’t so timid—or if the professionals hadn’t talked you out of making the picks yourself. You are smart enough. Using well-honed disciplines, Cramer shows you how in How to Make Money in Any Market. You’re not alone in feeling befuddled by the market. But this book is your guide to overcoming your fear and world-weariness about Wall Street.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The book that every parent, caregiver, and teacher needs to raise the next generation of antiracist thinkers, from the author of How to Be an Antiracist and recipient of the MacArthur “Genius” Grant. “Kendi’s latest . . . combines his personal experience as a parent with his scholarly expertise in showing how racism affects every step of a child’s life. . . . Like all his books, this one is accessible to everyone regardless of race or class.”—Los Angeles Times (Book Club Pick)ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugarThe tragedies and reckonings around racism that are rocking the country have created a specific crisis for parents, educators, and other caregivers: How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better? These are the questions Ibram X. Kendi found himself avoiding as he anticipated the birth of his first child. Like most parents or parents-to-be, he felt the reflex to not talk to his child about racism, which he feared would stain her innocence and steal away her joy. But research and experience changed his mind, and he realized that raising his child to be antiracist would actually protect his child, and preserve her innocence and joy. He realized that teaching students about the reality of racism and the myth of race provides a protective education in our diverse and unequal world. He realized that building antiracist societies safeguards all children from the harms of racism. Following the accessible genre of his internationally bestselling How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi combines a century of scientific research with a vulnerable and compelling personal narrative of his own journey as a parent and as a child in school. The chapters follow the stages of child development from pregnancy to toddler to schoolkid to teenager. It is never too early or late to start raising young people to be antiracist.

Cut through the noise and explore mind-changing Buddhist teachings from one of the clearest voices from the Tibetan tradition. Written in her direct and personal style, it’s the perfect “first book” for anyone curious about Buddhism, as well as those with experience who will benefit from her powerful message.We’re bombarded with advice about how to live—how to find happiness, how to maintain relationships, how to help the world—and yet has this advice brought us peace? In How Not to Miss the Point, beloved Buddhist teacher Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche focuses on the Buddha’s core teachings, basic principles that are universally true, whether we are Buddhist or not, as a way to cultivate our inner light and work for good, no matter how the world unfolds around us.Because the simplicity of the Buddha’s fundamental teachings can often get lost in complexity, Rinpoche goes straight to their heart to convey the Buddha’s core message: If we want this life—our own life, the lives of others, and the life of our planet—to be fulfilling and good, we must accept responsibility for cultivating the best qualities of our human mind. To put the how-and-why into practice, Rinpoche guides us through the steps of the Buddha’s path.
