Tomáš Baťa je známý především jako schopný podnikatel, který vybudoval světové obuvnické impérium. Málokdy se ale mluví o jeho propracovaném systému, který podporoval nejen efektivní podnikání, ale také duševní zdraví svých spolupracovníků. Kniha je rozdělena do čtyř částí, každá z nich se věnuje jedné z oblasti lidské bytosti – tělo, mysl, duše a vztahy. Firma Baťa dlouhodobě podporovala rozvoj svých spolupracovníků, aby se zdokonalovali nejen profesně, ale také po osobnostní stránce. Kniha Inspirace Baťa je první svého druhu, protože nabízí čtenáři možnost takzvaně: jak na to. Přináší nový pohled na filozofii Baťa a ukazuje, jak začít s budováním sebe sama, změnou životních postojů i vnímání světa, podle baťovských principů. V knize naleznete také pověstná baťovská desatera – například: Duševního zdraví, Zdravého spánku, Jak jednat s lidmi. Příjemným osvěžením zásad a desater, jsou krátké pravdivé příběhy, ve kterých poznáte pravou podstatu osobnosti Tomáše Bati. Pozornému čtenáři neunikne, že mnoho baťovských zásad se vyvinulo na základě osobních zážitků Bati. Najde zde příběhy, v nichž zaznívají jeho vize, kdy je shovívaný, ale také tvrdý a sebestředný, kdy zažívá pocit smutku i dětské radosti. Možnosti, jak měnit sám sebe podle Baťovské filozofie vychází z podstaty baťovské služby, která začíná slovy: na první místo si dejte sebe. S využitím každé rady můžete začít okamžitě, nejsou vázaný na žádné podmínky – snad jen jedinou – musíte chtít. Autorkou knihy je Gabriela Končitíková, která se čtrnáct let věnuje výzkumu baťovské historie. Kniha Inspirace Baťa je její desátou knihou, která čtenářům na konkrétních příkladech přiblíží, jak propojit pracovní a osobní sféru podle baťovských principů. „Často se o Baťovi říká, že byl velmi přísný na své spolupracovníky, protože chtěl mít pod kontrolou nejen jejich pracovní, ale i osobní život. Na první pohled to může znít zvláštně, jenže on nic nedělal samoúčelně. Věřil, že když lidé na vedoucích pozicích budou mít všeobecný přehled, tak budou inspirovat své okolí. Dnes se často řeší, jak najít balanc mezi pracovním a osobním životem. Baťa na to měl jasný názor: člověk potřebuje přesně vymezený čas na práci i na odpočinek. Když si pořádně neodpočine, tak nebude v práci podávat stoprocentní výkony“ říká Končitíková, která se kromě vydávání knih věnuje také přednáškové činnosti pro firmy po celém Česku a popisuje, jak převést baťovská pravidla práce i životního stylu do současné praxe.

Nikdo se jako inspirativní osobnost nenarodí, člověk se inspirativní osobností stává. Ani Tomáš Baťa nebyl výjimkou. Nejenže změnil řemeslo v průmysl, dokázal pozměnit celý jeden výrobní obor a díky němu se Československo stalo největším exportérem obuvi na světě. Zejména se mu podařilo změnit myšlení lidí v jeho továrně. Měl jedno přání pro československého člověka: „Aby si přestal připadat před světem tak malý, aby uvěřil ve svou velikost“, protože Tomáš Baťa v jeho velikost věřil. Nelze uvěřit v pravou velikost jiných lidí, když člověk nezná tu vlastní. Aby člověk uvěřil ve svou vlastní velikost, a přitom jej neovládlo ego, je potřeba celoživotní odvaha a práce na sobě samém. Tomáš Baťa tuto odvahu měl. Inspirujte se osobnostním růstem Tomáše Bati. Kniha popisuje transformaci jeho myšlení a vnímání v jednotlivých dekádách života. Změny, kterými procházel v soukromém i pracovním životě, a jejich vliv na jeho osobnost. Proč si přečíst tuto knihu?

Myšlenky Tomáše Bati byly vysloveny téměř před sto lety, jejich nadčasovost se nás však dotýká denně. Mnohdy máme pocit, jako by se Tomáš Baťa vyjadřoval k současným ekonomickým, podnikatelským, národohospodářským, politickým i celospolečenským tématům. Tento pocit je zcela oprávněný a vzniká z podstaty myšlení Tomáše Bati, jehož základem byla osobní zkušenost. Nejlépe způsob myšlení definoval Antonín Cekota, blízký spolupracovník Tomáše Bati a šéfredaktor firemního tisku: „Nejsou to akademické nebo teoretické úvahy národohospodáře, sociologa, filozofa a politika, který smí volně povolit svou fantazii a stavět ze svých myšlenek a názorů souvislý, uzavřený svět, bez odpovědnosti vůči skutečnému světu. Jsou to projevy muže, u něhož slovo bylo předchůdcem a součástí činu a které proto nelze odloučit od jeho práce. Snad právě proto mu nejlépe rozumí ti, kteří pracují na svém denním díle, cítí, že všechno živé zůstává neukončeno, že život lze chápat v nekonečnu klíčení, zrodu a usilování, jako jej chápal a prožíval Tomáš Baťa.“

Kniha predstavuje zbierku mnohých zoznamov desator, ktoré boli vytvorené vo firme Baťa v období medzi rokmi 1920 - 1940. Ide o desatorá, ktoré boli publikované v dobovej baťovskej tlači alebo v interných firemných dokumentoch.Zbierka vznikla niekoľkoročným štúdiom archívnych dokumentov firmy Baťa, avšak iste sa nepodarilo objaviť všetky zásady, ktoré firma využívala a publikovala. Niektoré, hoci boli objavené, tu uvedené nie sú, pretože sa týkajú výrobnej činnosti, ktorá už zanikla, a dnešnému čitateľovi by tieto zásady neboli ani na úžitok, ani na pobavenie.Je dôležité spomenúť, že doteraz nebola žiadna zbierka desator publikovaná komplexne. Pre lepšiu prehľadnosť sme ich rozdelili do piatich kategórií - nájdete tu desatorá patriace do skupiny osobného rozvoja alebo starostlivosti o zdravie, tiež tu nájdete desatorá zamerané na rodinné a vzťahové témy, zamerané na prácu, i tie, ktoré sa snažili zlepšiť obchodnú a predajnú činnosť.

Following Alan Watts acclaimed book on Zen Buddhism The Way of Zen, he tackles the Chinese philosophy of Tao. The Tao is the way of man s cooperation with the natural course of the natural world. Alan Watts takes the reader through the history of Tao and its interpretations by key thinkers such as Lao-Tzu, author of the Tao Te Ching. Watts goes on to demonstrate how the ancient and timeless Chinese wisdom of Tao promotes the idea of following a life lived according to the natural world and goes against our goal-oriented ideas by allowing time to quiet our minds and observe the world rather than imposing ourselves on it. By taking in some of the lessons of Tao, we can change our attitude to the way we live. Drawing on ancient and modern sources, Watts treats the Chinese philosophy of Tao in much the same way as he did Zen Buddhism in his classic The Way of Zen. Including an introduction to the Chinese culture that is the foundation of the Tao, this is one of Alan Watts best-loved works.

A guide for those who seek a true way of inner growth. The Fourth Way is one of the most comprehensive texts published of the ideas taught by the late P.D. Ouspensky. Consisting of verbatim records of his oral teaching from 1921 to 1946, it gives a lucid explanation of the practical side of G. I. Gurdjieff s teachings, which Gurdjieff presented in the form of raw materials, Ouspensky s specific task having been to put them together as a systematic whole. Just as Tertium Organum deals with a new mode of thinking, so The Fourth Way is concerned with a new way of living. It shows a way of inner development to be followed under the ordinary conditions of life -- as distinct from the three traditional ways that call for retirement from the world: those of the fakir, the monk, and the yogi.

The simple way to help your kids face their fears, handle big emotions, and bolster their social skills—from the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and a renowned play therapist “A parenting guide as useful as it is scientifically sound, The Way of Play is a gift for anyone who cares about human development and the growth-promoting importance of having fun in life!”—Daniel J. Siegel, MD Most parents understand that free, unstructured playtime is great for children’s development. What they may not know is that playful interaction with parents is also a powerful way for kids to cultivate healthy emotional development and resilience. Kids often want their parents to play with them, but many parents don’t know how to play or see it only as an (often boring) way to kill time. Playing with your kids doesn’t have to mean enrolling in countless parent-and-me classes or getting on all fours and making toy car sounds; the little daily moments together can make the most impact. In The Way of Play, world-renowned pediatric therapists and play experts Tina Payne Bryson and Georgie Wisen-Vincent break down seven simple, playful techniques that harness this caregiving magic in only a few minutes each day: • Leaning in to emotions helps children let go of anxieties, drama, and chaotic behavior.• Tuning in to the body teaches children to practice the art of surfing sensory waves.• Storytelling promotes better problem-solving.• Thinking out loud fosters calmer thinking and stronger communication with parents, siblings, and everyone else. Full of science-backed research, real-life stories, and charming line illustrations to bring this novel advice to life, The Way of Play will help you nurture your kids and encourage them to become calm listeners, cooperative problem solvers, and respectful communicators. Just as important, it will help your whole family have more fun together and build stronger relationships.

A powerful manifesto for women who long to walk alone – and safely – in the countryside Dr. Sharon Blackie, author of If Women Rose Rooted Why is it radical for women to walk alone in the countryside, when men have been doing so for centuries? The Hard Way is a powerful and illuminating book about addressing this imbalance, reclaiming fearlessness and diving into the history of the landscape from a woman’s point of view. Setting off to follow the oldest paths in England, the Ridgeway and the Harrow Way, Susannah Walker comes across artillery fire, concern from passing policemen and her own innate fear of lone figures in the distance: a landscape shaped by men, from prehistoric earthworks to today’s army bases. But along the way, Susannah finds Edwardian feminists, rebellious widows, forgotten writers and artists, as well as all their anonymous sisters who stayed at home throughout history. They become her companions over 135 miles of walking, revealing how much, or how little, has changed for women now. An urgent call Guy Shrubsole, author of Who Owns England?

Chosen for the Duchess of Cornwall s online book club The Reading Room by HRH The Prince of WalesWhen William Blacker first crossed the snow-bound passes of northern Romania, he stumbled upon an almost medieval world.There, for many years he lived side by side with the country people, a life ruled by the slow cycle of the seasons, far away from the frantic rush of the modern world. In spring as the pear trees blossomed he ploughed with horses, in summer he scythed the hay meadows and in the freezing winters gathered wood by sleigh from the forest. From sheepfolds harried by wolves, to courting expeditions in the snow, he experienced the traditional way of life to the full, and became accepted into a community who treated him as one of their own. But Blacker was also intrigued by the Gypsies, those dark, foot-loose strangers of spell-binding allure who he saw passing through the village. Locals warned him to stay clear but he fell in love and there followed a bitter struggle.Change is now coming to rural Romania, and William Blacker s adventures will soon be part of its history. From his early carefree days tramping the hills of Transylvania, to the book s poignant ending, Along the Enchanted Way transports us back to a magical country world most of us thought had vanished long ago.
