Whether you want to make better decisions, improve your relationships or find more meaning in your work, harnessing your core values is the key to your future success, contentment and contribution. Have you ever heard a voice inside you whispering, There s got to be more than this ? Or simply felt some kind of disconnect between the life you lead and the life you want?That s a signal you re living out of alignment with your core values.In What Matters to You, psychologist Greta Bradman explains how our values impact the way we interpret, evaluate and respond to the world, whether we have insight into them or not. They re more than beacons that inspire; they re drivers that deeply affect us, even when we re out of alignment with them. Your values offer you a roadmap to making sense of what matters most to you. They can anchor and help explain your convictions and beliefs, and motivate actions with long-term benefits. Values also help make sense of the way we prioritise things differently when we feel threatened. In a nutshell, values help us understand our world and express ourselves with authenticity and courage.By helping us explore our core and threat-based values - why they re important to us, and how to use those core values in both the big and little decisions in day-to-day life - Greta Bradman teaches us to align more of our choices with our values, so we can grow into our own version of a life well lived.

Perhaps human beings are animals, driven by the will to survive and reproduce, perhaps responsibility is a useful fiction and religion is the opium of the masses. Perhaps death is the end, life is ultimately meaningless, brutish and short. Perhaps man is the measure of all things and beauty, truth and justice are open to interpretation. Or, perhaps not. God matters. The choice over whether and what to believe is inescapable because it determines how we live our lives. Nothing matters more. Here is a book that encourages and enables students and general readers to ask fundamental questions about the nature and meaning of human life in an open, engaging but academically rigorous way. Centuries of scholarship in the Philosophy of Religion, from Jewish and Muslim as well as Christian traditions, are put in context and critically evaluated. Examples from art, film, and literature show the contemporary relevance of debates which have raged throughout human history. www.what-matters.org provides recommendations for further reading, a rich anthology of primary texts, questions for discussion and related activities.

This book lays out what we know about the scale, history and impacts of tax abuse. From profit-shifting by multinational corporations to the exploitation of offshore tax havens. It sheds light on the people and organisations that enable tax abuse, and the stark social inequalities it creates.Crucially, it also explores what we can do about it. What are the practical realities of challenging the threats of tax injustice and of holding abusers accountable? What are the policies and institutional shifts we need to see and fight for?It is estimated that cross-border tax abuse accounts for around half a trillion dollars of lost revenue around the world each year. This is important. Alex Cobham shows us that tax is more than just business regulation or economic policy. It is a powerful tool for creating a fair and just society. It is our social superpower.Alex Cobham is an economist and chief executive of Tax Justice Network.Written by leading social scientists, the What Do We Know and What Should We Do About...? series offers concise, up-to-date overviews of issues often oversimplified, misrepresented or misunderstood and shows you how to enact change.

The idea of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken the world by storm. From fears over killer robots in sci-fi dystopias, to driverless cars in real life, we are both inspired and horrified by the prospect of an advanced intelligence that is not our own. Could AI take over the world? Will it take all of our jobs? Has Google really created a sentient chatbot, and is AI racing towards human intelligence, or is it just horribly misunderstood? These common questions point us towards an unknown and troubling future. What we do know is that we are in the midst of a hype cycle, with huge amounts of funding and focus galvanising progress. Whether AI truly lives up to this hype remains to be seen, but this once niche idea has suddenly evolved into a global multibillion dollar industry. In this short and accessible book, Ewa Luger explains what we mean when we talk about AI, explores how we got here, describes what we are doing about it, where the field is heading, and where we should go next. Written by leading social scientists, the What Do We Know and What Should We Do About...? series offers concise, up-to-date overviews of issues often oversimplified, misrepresented or misunderstood and shows you how to enact change.

Slavery is a live issue today, but the people who talk about it as such are not all of a piece. Some insist the world is now plagued by the contemporary equivalent of transatlantic slavery, and call on us to combat modern slavery . Others hold that the on-going devaluation and destruction of black life continues the logic of transatlantic slavery. They urge us to address the afterlives of racial chattel slavery. These two groupings provide different answers to the questions, what do we know and what should we do about slavery? This book reviews what is known about the issues at the heart of each perspective, and argues that the concept of afterlives is more helpful than that of modern slavery to those seeking to challenge injustice, violence, inequality and oppression in the twenty-first century. Written by leading social scientists, the What Do We Know and What Should We Do About...? series offers concise, up-to-date overviews of issues often oversimplified, misrepresented or misunderstood and shows you how to enact change.

On the same day that his wife gave birth to twins, Anthony Doerr received the Rome Prize, an award that gave him a year-long stipend and studio in Rome⠦⠘Four Seasons in Rome⠙ charts the repercussions of that day, describing Doerr s varied adventures in one of the most enchanting cities in the world, and the first year of parenthood. He reads Pliny, Dante, and Keats ⠓ the chroniclers of Rome who came before him ⠓ and visits the piazzas, temples, and ancient cisterns they describe. He attends the vigil of a dying Pope John Paul II and takes his twins to the Pantheon in December to wait for snow to fall through the oculus. He and his family are embraced by the butchers, grocers, and bakers of the neighbourhood, whose clamour of stories and idiosyncratic child-rearing advice is as compelling as the city itself.This intimate and revelatory book is a celebration of Rome, a wondrous look at new parenthood and a fascinating account of the alchemy of writers.

Hrdinové románu Cloud Cuckoo Land se snaží pochopit svět kolem sebe: Anna a Omeir na protějších stranách impozantního městského opevnění v průběhu obléhání Konstantinopole v roce 1453; pubertální idealista Seymour útočící na veřejnou knihovnu v současnosti; a Kontance na mezihvězdné lodi na cestě k exoplanetě několik desítek let v budoucnosti.Stejně jako Marie-Laure v románu Jsou světla, která nevidíme, jsou Anna, Omeir, Seymour a Konstance snílci a outsideři, kteří v sobě dokážou najít vynalézavost a naději uprostřed nebezpečí.Starobylý text – příběh Aethona, který se touží stát ptákem, aby mohl vzlétnout do utopického ráje v nebi – poskytuje těmto nezapomenutelným postavám útěchu, ale zároveň je pro ně jakýmsi tajemstvím. Doerr utkal tapiserii časů a míst, která odráží naše nesmírné propojení – navzájem mezi sebou, s jinými druhy, s těmi, kteří žili před námi, a s těmi, kteří tu budou, až už tady nebudeme.Cloud Cuckoo Land, věnovaný „knihovníkům dneška, včerejška a následujících let“, je neuvěřitelně krásný román od žijícího klasika americké literatury, v němž se minulost, přítomnost i budoucnost propojuje ve velkolepý celek.

Karel Schulz je znám především jako autor monumentálního historického románu o Michelangelovi Kámen a bolest (1942/43) z renesanční Florencie. Tato kniha se znamuje se zapomenutou avantgardní tvorbou Karla Schulze. Po více než osmdesáti letech předkládá před čtenáře dva dnes téměř nedostupné a neznámé tituly, jimiž Schulz významně obohatil prozaickou tvorbu meziválečné avantgardy: soubor povídek a básní Sever Jih Západ Východ (1923) a lyrizovanou prózu Dáma u vodotrysku (1926), jejíž uvolněná asociativnost se částečně formovala již pod vlivem surrealistické imaginace.

Známý publicista Milan Schulz (* 1930) shrnul ve svém čtivém vyprávění vlastní život, který byl pohnutou a přitom velice zajímavou cestou dvacátým stoletím. Popis své životní pouti pojal v okouzlujícím, poutavém a zábavném duchu. Zachycuje dětství a mládí za první republiky, v předvečer války i během ní; bohémského otce, jehož nejistotu vyvažovala stabilnost a serióznost matky; poválečný rozlet při studiích literatury a ruštiny v době, která přála mládí, ne však zdravému rozumu; literární začátky, pestré prostředí Literárních novin, přitažlivost divadla, v němž se autorsky uplatnil v kabaretu Paravan s J. R. Pickem a v roli dramaturga v Semaforu; poté roli hlavního redaktora nově vzniklého časopisu Orientace. Události konce šedesátých let jej přinutily k odchodu do mnichovského exilu, kde opět stanul ve středu dění: zblízka se seznamujeme s prostředím Svobodné Evropy, v níž Milan Schulz po dlouhá léta působil; s podnětným okruhem lidí kolem opata Anastáze Opaska; s českým exilovým světem a jeho osobnostmi - zejména s Pavlem Tigridem jako jedním z nejbližších Schulzových přátel. Posledních dvacet let s možností návratu do svobodné vlasti představovalo další práci v již přetvořené Svobodné Evropě a četné zážitky cestovatelské. Kniha je doplněna rozsáhlou fotografickou přílohou a jmenným rejstříkem.

The simple but surprising answer is: relationships. The stronger our relationships, the more likely we are to live happy, satisfying, and healthier lives. In fact, the Harvard Study of Adult Development reveals that the strength of our connections with others can predict the health of both our bodies and our brains as we go through life. The invaluable insights in this book emerge from the revealing personal stories of hundreds of participants in the Harvard Study as they were followed year after year for their entire adult lives, and this wisdom was bolstered by research findings from many other studies. Relationships in all their formsfriendships, romantic partnerships, families, coworkers, tennis partners, book club members, Bible study groupsall contribute to a happier, healthier life.

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.In the hope of saving her brother s life, should a woman submit to rape?

Although Measure for Measure ends like a comedy, with reconciliations, forgiveness and marriages, it has often been regarded as one of Shakespeare s problem plays. The drama shows the difficulty of effecting an appropriate balance between judicial severity and mercy, between sexual repression and decadence, and between political vigilance and social manipulation. These problems remain topical, and, in Measure for Measure, they are given immediacy by vivid character-conflicts and memorably intense poetry. This is one of Shakespeare s most probing and powerful works.
