Když věci nejdou tak, jak chcete - Haemin Sunim
Známý zen-buddhistický učitel Haemin Sunim přináší návod, jak proměnit náročné životní okamžiky v příležitosti k poznávání sebe sama. Znáte ten nepříjemný pocit, když se ocitnete v nějaké obtížné životní situaci? Když přijdou těžké chvíle, ze kterých chcete co nejrychleji pryč? Ztráta, smutek, samota a strach jsou součástí naší běžné zkušenosti. Všichni je známe a děláme všechno pro to, abychom se jim vyhnuli. Ale co kdyby nám tyto náročné okamžiky mohly přinést pochopení, nadhled a možná i moudrost? V této laskavé knížce nám Haemin Sunim, autor celosvětově oblíbených bestsellerů, ukáže, že je to možné, a pokud se tomu otevřeme, je to i pravděpodobné. Sunim čerpá nejen z filozofie zen-buddhismu, ale i ze svých vlastních zkušeností. V knize Když věci nejdou tak, jak chcete se dozvíte, jak díky malým změnám v uvažování a díky soucitu zvládnete projít i těmi nejnáročnějšími životními okamžiky. Byli jste odmítnuti, cítíte se nejistě, osaměle nebo řešíte konflikty ve vztazích a potýkáte se s vyhořením, nebo jen hledáte způsob, jak dosáhnout větší duševní pohody – Sunim nabízí nový úhel pohledu na věci, o kterých jsme si mysleli, že jejich jediným účelem je nás pořádně potrápit.

Láska k nedokonalým věcem - Haemin Sunim
Mnozí z nás na různé tlaky v životě reagují tím, že se stáhnou do sebe a problém ignorují, což někdy vede k úzkosti nebo depresi. Jiní reagují tím, že se usilovněji věnují svým povinnostem v práci, ve škole nebo doma, v naději, že to přinese štěstí jim samotným i jejich nejbližším. Co když ale stačí být prostě sám sebou? Stejně jako když v letadle dostaneme pokyn nasadit kyslíkovou masku napřed sobě a teprve pak pomáhat ostatním, musíme být nejprve v míru sami se sebou, než budeme moci být v míru se světem kolem sebe. V tomto krásném pokračování svého mezinárodního bestselleru Věci, které uvidíte, jen když zpomalíte se zen-buddhistický mnich Haemin Sunim s moudrostí sobě vlastní věnuje tématu péče o sebe a tvrdí, že pouze přijetím sebe sama – a všech nedostatků, díky kterým jsme sami sebou – můžeme dosáhnout soucitných a naplňujících vztahů s partnerem, rodinou a přáteli. Kniha Láska k nedokonalým věcem, kterou doprovází vice než třicet pět barevných ilustrací, potěší vaše oči i srdce a pomůže vám mít rádi sebe, svůj život a každého, kdo do něj patří. Když se staráte v první řadě o sebe, také svět uzná, že si zasloužíte, aby o vás bylo postaráno.

And maybe, in the act of receiving, a little thread of connection will be woven between me and each of you.How can a recipe express the joy of sharing a meal in person? This is the feeling that Samin Nosrat sets out to capture in Good Things, offering more than 125 recipes for the things she most loves to cook.You’ll find go-to recipes for ricotta custard pancakes, chicken braised with apricots and harissa, a crunchy Calabrian chili crisp, super-chewy sky-high focaccia and a decades-in-the-making, childhood-evoking yellow cake. Samin also shares tips and techniques, from how to buy olive oil (check the harvest date) to when to splurge on the best ingredients (salad dressing) to the one acceptable substitute for Parmigiano Reggiano (Grana Padano, if you must).Good Things captures, with Samin’s trademark blend of warmth and precision, the essence of what makes cooking such an important source of comfort and delight, and invites you to join her at the table.

Seeing Things as They Are: Selected Journalism and Other Writings - George Orwell
This selection is a ceaseless delight ... there is a treat on almost every page Daily TelegraphGeorge Orwell wrote, in his words, from a desire to see things as they are . This new collection of his journalism and other writings, including articles, essays, broadcasts, poems, book and film reviews from across his career, shows his unmatched genius for observing the world. Whether discussing Polish immigration or Scottish independence, railing against racism, defending the English language or holding an imaginary conversation with Jonathan Swift, these pieces reveal a clear-eyed, entertaining and eternally relevant chronicler of his age.Edited with an introduction by Peter Davison Orwell s luminous gift was for seeing things, for noticing what others missed, took for granted or simply found uninteresting, for discovering meaning and wonder in the familiarity of the everyday... Nothing escaped or seemed beneath his notice, which was what made him such a good reporter... Seeing Things As They Are is intended to be a collection first and foremost of his journalism, with preference given to lesser-known pieces and reviews as well as some of the poems he wrote. It is full of interest and curiosities Jason Cowley, Financial Times Peter Davison gives us a feast of [Orwell s] shorter writings, showing how from such hesitant beginnings he evolved into the writer of enduring importance we know, committed to decency, equality and political honesty, who could nevertheless wax lyrical over the first signs of spring or an imaginary English pub Gordon Bowker, Independent

Love Life - Matthew Hussey
An essential set of tools and principles for healing your heart, finding love, and loving life. Finding love can be hard. Being single can feel even harder.In Love Life, world-renowned coach and New York Times bestselling author Matthew Hussey provides a practical roadmap for letting go of past relationships, overcoming the fear of getting left behind, and finding the love we want. Sometimes it feels like life and love are working against us. Just finding someone we like can be a struggle.Even when we do, we often find they’re not ready, or they want different things. Then there’s the internal fears and anxieties that lead us to self-sabotage—the ones that make us indulge the wrong behavior, hold back from expressing our needs for fear of losing someone, or overinvest in people and lose ourselves in the process. Love Life sheds light on these common patterns and how to overcome them, by showing us how to adopt new standards, elegantly communicate them, and develop the deepest levels of confidence that underpin them.Like many of us, Hussey has gone through major life changes over the past decade, and he opens up about his experiences, vulnerabilities, and mistakes. Love Life is about doing love better. More than a book about romantic relationships, Love Life shows us how to take control of each of the major relationships in our lives: our relationship with others, our relationship with ourselves, and our relationship with life itself.Our love lives have the power to elevate or eradicate the adjacent joy in our lives. Love Life sets you on the path to finding the love of your life, while deepening your love for life.

Radical Love - Satish Kumar
To see peace in our lifetimes, we have to practice love.This is the radical message of this inspirational book of pithy advice from environmental activist Satish Kumar, which helps us find ways to love ourselves, others, and all beings on planet Earth—even those we may find unlovable.Satish Kumar is well known for his epic walk for world peace in his youth in the 1960s from India to the nuclear capitals of Moscow, Paris, London, and Washington, DC. Wherever he traveled, he found that human beings were capable of a love that could overcome hatred and division. Settling down in the UK, he married his wife, June Mitchell, and founded eco-university Schumacher College in Devon, eventually becoming a leading figure in the UK green movement.Radical Love distills the author s lifetime of experience as a lover, parent, activist, and educator into simple lessons on transforming our time of ecological crisis, conflict, and scarcity into one in which we experience harmony with nature, safety, and abundance. It is an exploration of the transformative power of love in all its forms, from romantic love to love for one s family and community to love for the planet and all beings. Kumar s approach is founded on simplicity (including the Jain principle of aparigraha), generosity, and continuous learning. Like an unfolding metta meditation, the book expands our notions of love to its most sublime universal state and makes a great gift to share with those we love.

So Bright and Delicate: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne - John Keats, Jane Campion
So Bright and Delicate: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne is a testament to the love that inspired the passion and creativity of one of the greatest English Romantic poets. This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction by Jane Campion, Oscar-winning director of the film Bright Star.John Keats died aged just twenty-five, leaving behind some of the most exquisite and moving verse and love letters ever written, inspired by his great love for his neighbour, Fanny Brawne. Although they knew each other for just a few short years and spent a great deal of that time apart - separated by Keats s worsening illness, which forced a move abroad - Keats wrote again and again about and to his love, right until his very last poem, called simply To Fanny . She, in turn, would wear the ring he had given her until her death. So Bright and Delicate contains the love poems and correspondence composed by Keats in the heat of his passion, and is a dazzling display of a talent cruelly cut short.John Keats (1795-1821) lost both his parents at an early age. His decision to commit himself to poetry, rather than follow a career in medicine, was a personal challenge, unfounded in any prior success. His first volume of poetry, published in 1817, was a critical and commercial failure. During his short life he received little recognition, and it was not until the latter part of the nineteenth century that his place in English Romanticism began to be understood, and not until this century that it became fully appreciated.If you enjoyed So Bright and Delicate, you might like Keats s Complete Poems, also available in Penguin Classics.
