Welcome-welcome-welcome-welcome to Being Young! And to the inner life and internet ragepage of Natasha [Redacted]. Her first name is all you’re getting: there are too many haters, trolls and stupid adults out there. Iffen you understand me then you’ve picked up the rhythm of my heartbeat and maybe you’re a friend. But that means you’re a potential danger too, if you get too close and you know too much—be careful. Original, compelling and moving, Natasha [Redacted] is a coming of age story that charts the costs of trying to survive in the poisonous jungle that is ‘growing up’. Family breakdown, friends who turn out to be anything but friends, parents and their love interests who want bland conformity above all else, Internet wars and real-world violence populate Natasha’s Internet ‘ragepage’. And we see Natasha too though her self-appraising ‘sleevenotes’, penned some unknown time after the events that she describes. At the end of it all, has she grown up? Will you like the answer anymore than Natasha does? Whatever the answer—if you’ve ever loved music with a matchless passion, wanted to form a band and play a gig on the Moon, you could be the friend that Natasha is waiting for. Read on…

Audiokniha: Fascinující cesta do myšlení psychopatů. Známý oxfordský psycholog nás naučí odhalovat psychopaty mezi námi a ukáže, jak se můžeme snadno ubránit jejich často rafinovaným a nečekaným útokům. Psychopati bývají nebojácní, sebevědomí, okouzlující, bezohlední a soustředění na cíl, což jsou vlastnosti jak ušité na míru úspěchu v 21. století. Mají skvělé mimikry, takže odhalit jejich toxicitu není na první pohled jednoduché. A odpoutat se od nich je o to těžší. Známý oxfordský psycholog Kevin Dutton s pomocí nejnovějších metod zobrazování mozku a rozvíjejících se neurověd dokazuje, že ne všichni jsou ale nebezpeční. Na rozdíl od svých temných kolegů využívají totiž své schopnosti ve prospěch druhých a jsou užiteční. Pro mnohé tak bude s podivem, že brilantní neurochirurg, postrádající empatii, má se sériovým vrahem, jenž zabíjí pro potěchu, společného víc, než bychom si chtěli připustit, a že lupič na spoře osvětleném parkovišti může být stejně ledově klidný jako ten nejúspěšnější podnikatel. O této často mylně chápané diagnóze referuje Dutton na základě svých odvážných úvah i výsledků originálních vědeckých výzkumů, přičemž debatuje s šílenými kriminálníky v přísně střežené psychiatrické jednotce, připíjí si s jedním z nejúspěšnějších světových podvodníků, podstupuje transkraniální magnetickou stimulaci, aby na vlastní kůži zažil, jaké to přesně je dívat se na svět očima psychopata. Moudrost psychopatů je provokativní po všech stránkách; je vzrušujícím dobrodružstvím, jež odkrývá, že jsou to právě naše zavrhované temné stránky, které často ukrývají trumfy úspěšnosti.

Chcete si vyzkoušet, jak využít svého vnitřního psychopata, abyste lépe řídili vlastní život a získali z něj co nejvíc? Mnoho z nás dosahuje úspěchu, ale platí za to vysokou cenu. Jako bychom běhali v křeččím kolečku vnějších závazků a povinností. Pod tlakem umíme zabrat. Ale co kdybychom onu zbraň, kterou nám život klade na spánek, vzali do rukou a obrátili ve svůj prospěch? Nemusíme se přitom stát někým patologickým, ale prostě jen využijeme strategie psychopatů tak, aby z toho mělo prospěch nejen naše okolí, nýbrž i my sami.Psycholog Dutton a elitní voják McNab se ve své příručce pojednávající o tom, jak se stát hodným psychopatem, zaobírají se rozmanitými oblastmi života (práce, odpočinek, zdraví, vztahy, čas, životní úkoly) a nabízejí konkrétní, praktické a přehledné kroky na cestě k spokojenějšímu životu. Kevin Dutton je experimentální psycholog a spisovatel. Výzkumný pracovník katedry experimentální psychologie na Oxfordské univerzitě je autorem úspěšných knih Moudrost psychopatů (2019) a Psychopatův průvodce na cestě k úspěchu (s Andym McNabem, 2021).Andy McNab je bývalý britský elitní voják, dnes konzultant a spisovatel.

Profesor Kevin Dutton se na Oxfordské univerzitě zabývá psychopaty už léta. S příslušníkem speciálních jednotek SAS Andym McNabem, novodobým hrdinou, se setkal při jednom výzkumném projektu. Fakt, že psychologické testy McNaba jednoznačně zařadily mezi psychopaty, ho nepřekvapil – zarazilo ho však, že Andy McNab je psychopatem hodným. Na rozdíl od zlých psychopatů totiž využívá charakteristické psychopatické povahové rysy, jako je bezohlednost, nebojácnost či schopnost přečíst pocity druhých, k tomu, aby v nejrůznějších situacích dostal jak ze sebe, tak z ostatních to nejlepší.Spojení Duttonových znalostí a McNabových divokých a neuvěřitelných zkušeností vyústilo v poznatek, že hodný psychopat přemýšlí jinak než běžní lidé, a že kdybychom i my jednali více sebevědomě, zachovávali si vždy chladnou hlavu, lépe využívali svůj šarm a soustředěně žili přítomným okamžikem, byli bychom v pracovním i osobním životě bezpochyby mnohem úspěšnější. Tato kniha vás zajímavou a zábavnou formou naučí, jak toho dosáhnout.Kevin Dutton je experimentální psycholog a spisovatel.

Na své strhující cestě do života psychopatů a jejich vychytralého chování známý oxfordský psycholog Kevin Dutton odhaluje existenci stupnice „šílenství“, na níž má své místo každý z nás. S pomocí nejnovějších metod zobrazování mozku a rozvíjejících se neurověd ukazuje, že brilantní neurochirurg, postrádající empatii, má se sériovým vrahem, jenž zabíjí pro potěchu, společného víc, než bychom si chtěli připustit, a že lupič na spoře osvětleném parkovišti může být stejně ledově klidný jako ten nejúspěšnější podnikatel. Když autor rozvíjí svou teorii, že psychopatické sklony má v určité míře každý, dochází k názoru, že společnost jako celek je dnes psychopatičtější než kdy předtím. Koneckonců, psychopati bývají nebojácní, sebevědomí, okouzlující, bezohlední a soustředění na cíl – což jsou vlastnosti jak šité na míru úspěchu v 21. století.

It has an incubation period of just seconds, and can instantly disarm even the most discerning mind. Flipnosis is black-belt mind control. It doesn''t just turn the tables, it kicks them over.*From the malign but fascinating powers of psychopaths, serial killers and con men to the political genius of Winston Churchill - via the grandmasters of martial arts, Buddhist monks, magicians, advertisers, salesmen, CEOs and frogs that mug each other - Kevin Dutton''s brilliantly original and revelatory book explores what cutting-edge science can teach us about the techniques of persuasion.

A Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Daniel Pink and Adam Grant NEXT BIG IDEA book club read about how to avoid the pitfalls of too little, and too much, complexity.''Essential insights into the character of human choice and decision-making.'' ROBERT CIALDINI, bestselling author of Influence________In this groundbreaking exploration of how our brains work, psychologist Professor Kevin Dutton explains that by understanding the nature of our hardwired black and white thinking we are better equipped to negotiate life''s grey zones and make subtler and smarter decisions.Our brains are hardwired to sort, categorize and draw lines. It''s how we navigate the kaleidoscope of everyday information. Yet imagine failing an exam by a mere 1 per cent. Or being caught speeding at just 1 mph over the speed limit. We have to draw the line somewhere, we say. But lines can be unhelpful or even dangerous when drawn where they aren''t wanted, or in too thick a hand. By thinking in terms of '' ''them'' or ''us'' and ''this'' or ''that'' we isolate ourselves from ideas we don''t agree with and people who are not the same as us. We fail to listen to the other side of the argument and beliefs become polarized. Intolerance and extremism flourish. The human race has survived by making binary decisions, but such thinking might also destroy us. We may be programmed to think in black and white but rainbow thinking is the key to our cognitive future.__________''Fascinating, important and entirely convincing.'' SIR PHILIP PULLMAN

A comprehensive guide to mental health from one of the UK's foremost experts. An A-Z from Anxiety to Zero F**ks Given.‘Am I normal?’‘What’s an anxiety disorder?’‘Does therapy work?’These are just a few of the questions Natasha Devon is asked as she travels the UK campaigning for better mental health awareness and provision. Here, Natasha calls upon experts in the fields of psychology, neuroscience and anthropology to debunk and demystify the full spectrum of mental health. From A (Anxiety) to Z (Zero F**ks Given – or the art of having high self-esteem) via everything from body image and gender to differentiating ‘sadness’ from ‘depression’.Statistically, one in three of us will experience symptoms of a mental illness during our lifetimes. Yet all of us have a brain, and so we ALL have mental health – regardless of age, sexuality, race or background. The past few years have seen an explosion in awareness, yet it seems there is still widespread confusion.A Beginner's Guide to Being Mental is for anyone who wants to have this essential conversation, written as only Natasha - with her combination of expertise, personal experience and humour - knows how.

Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry Former U.S. Poet Laureate, Natasha Trethewey’s Native Guard is a deeply personal volume that brings together two legacies of the Deep South.Through elegaic verse that honors her mother and tells of her own fraught childhood, Natasha Trethewey confronts the racial legacy of her native Deep South—--where one of the first black regiments, The Louisiana Native Guards, was called into service during the Civil War.The title of the collection refers to the black regiment whose role in the Civil War has been largely overlooked by history. As a child in Gulfport, Mississippi, in the 1960s, Trethewey could gaze across the water to the fort on Ship Island where Confederate captives once were guarded by black soldiers serving the Union cause.The racial legacy of the South touched Trethewey’s life on a much more immediate level, too. Many of the poems in Native Guard pay loving tribute to her mother, whose marriage to a white man was illegal in her native Mississippi in the 1960s. Years after her mother’s tragic death, Trethewey reclaims her memory, just as she reclaims the voices of the black soldiers whose service has been all but forgotten.Trethewey''s resonant and beguiling collection is a haunting conversation between personal experience and national history.

An Instant New York Times Bestseller A New York Times Notable Book One of Barack Obama''s Favorite Books of 2020Named One of the Best Books of the Year by: The Washington Post, NPR, Shelf Awareness, Esquire, Electric Literature, Slate, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and InStyleA chillingly personal and exquisitely wrought memoir of a daughter reckoning with the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of her former stepfather, and the moving, intimate story of a poet coming into her own in the wake of a tragedyAt age nineteen, Natasha Trethewey had her world turned upside down when her former stepfather shot and killed her mother. Grieving and still new to adulthood, she confronted the twin pulls of life and death in the aftermath of unimaginable trauma and now explores the way this experience lastingly shaped the artist she became.With penetrating insight and a searing voice that moves from the wrenching to the elegiac, Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Natasha Trethewey explores this profound experience of pain, loss, and grief as an entry point into understanding the tragic course of her mother’s life and the way her own life has been shaped by a legacy of fierce love and resilience. Moving through her mother’s history in the deeply segregated South and through her own girlhood as a “child of miscegenation” in Mississippi, Trethewey plumbs her sense of dislocation and displacement in the lead-up to the harrowing crime that took place on Memorial Drive in Atlanta in 1985.Memorial Drive is a compelling and searching look at a shared human experience of sudden loss and absence but also a piercing glimpse at the enduring ripple effects of white racism and domestic abuse. Animated by unforgettable prose and inflected by a poet’s attention to language, this is a luminous, urgent, and visceral memoir from one of our most important contemporary writers and thinkers.

Audiokniha: Když v podhůří Appalačských hor zmizí za záhadných okolností církevní sbor, dávají bizarní stopy krveprolití tušit, že tuto tragédii má na svědomí snad sám ďábel. FBI má ovšem eso v rukávu – agentku Jessicu Blackwoodovou, bývalou nadanou kouzelnici z proslulé dynastie iluzionistů, která přednedávnem vyřešila případ tajemného Čaroděje a která díky svému nadání i zkušenostem dokáže rozpoznat, když věci nejsou takové, jaké se zdají být. Jessica je přesvědčená, že klíčem k záhadě je stará magnetofonová kazeta, a rozplétáním událostí, jež jsou na nahrávce zachycené, odhalí něco hodně znepokojivého – čin s dalekosáhlými důsledky. Mladá agentka se pouští po stopách zla, vedoucích ze Západní Virginie do Mexika, Miami, a dokonce až do posvátných síní Vatikánu, aby zastavila chladnokrevného vraha, posedlého smrtelným hříchem… „Svižný thriller, v němž jsou iluze zbraněmi dobra i zla.“ – Publishers Weekly. „Zápletka, která má spád, a inteligentní hlavní hrdinka ‒ to jsou ingredience adrenalinového příběhu s nečekaným zvratem.

Téhož dne se krátce po silném zemětřesení, které zasáhne východní pobřeží, začne po internetu šířit podivné video, na němž fyzik Peter Devon, nositel Nobelovy ceny, který už je však osm let po smrti, předpovídá místo i datum zemětřesení.

Píše se rok 1739. Elize Lucasové je pouhých šestnáct, když ji otec pověří správou tří rodinných plantáží v Jižní Karolíně, zámořské kolonii britského krále Jiřího II. Poté odpluje bojovat za slávu Koruny a jeho opuštěná choť si nepřeje nic jiného než vrátit se do Anglie. Přičinlivá dcera se sice hospodaření ujme nehledě na překážky, jenže osud podle všeho kráčí matčinu přání vstříc. Eliza záhy čelí hrozbě, že Lucasovi přijdou o všechno, avšak odmítne se vzdát. Sotva se dívka dozví, kolik Francouzi platí za indigové barvivo, nabude přesvědčení, že právě jeho produkce je klíčem k záchraně. Okolí ale jejímu snu nevěří, v pěstování původně západoafrické rostliny se žádný běloch nevyzná a vzpurná otrokyně se s ní o taje výroby úchvatně modré barvy odmítá podělit. Hrdinka zjišťuje, že jejími spojenci v bitvě o čas jsou jen starý zahradník ze sousedství, šťastně ženatý právník z města a černošský mladík, s nímž Eliza uzavře neslýchanou dohodu. On ji naučí indigo zpracovávat a ona jeho druhy - navzdory dobovým zákonům - naučí číst. Natasha Boydová oživila skutečný příběh dámy, která nemálo přispěla k emancipaci budoucích Spojených států. Na základě archivních materiálů i osobní korespondence román osvětluje jak poměry panující na tehdejším Jihu, vyznačující se bezprávím vůči ženám i otrokům, tak Elizin vnitřní život. Život provázený podlými intrikami, mužskou nadřazeností, zakázaným vztahem - a především ohromnou odvahou.

Historička Natasha Tidd berie čitateľov na globálnu cestu ľudskými dejinami a skúma, ako môžu lži zmeniť svet okolo nás, od podvodných PR kampaní Gaia Iulia Caesara až po zatajovanie udalostí, ktoré vyústilo do Černobyľu.Opisuje historické nepravdy, úmyselné lži, podvrhy a falzifikáty, ktoré spôsobili stáročia trvajúce konflikty a útlak (napríklad Sionské protokoly či záhadný testament Petra Veľkého), a masové politické a mediálne utajovania vrátane britských koncentračných táborov počas búrskej vojny, Pulitzerovou cenou oceneného vymazania hladomoru na Ukrajine a neslávne známej Dreyfusovej aféry vo Francúzsku. Popritom skúma, ako náš výklad histórie môže zmeniť fikciu na skutočnosť (prípad klamlivého dedičstva španielskej inkvizície či démonizácie čínskej cisárovnej) a tiež, ako môžu historické lži ovplyvniť naše životy aj dnes (napríklad smrteľný odkaz amerického experimentu Tuskegee).Kniha 50 lží, ktoré vytvárali históriu sveta podrobne opisuje hlboký vplyv tejto utajovanej stránky dejín a ukazuje, že pravda je často prekvapujúcejšia – a oveľa nebezpečnejšia – ako akákoľvek fikcia.

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride set up The Cambridge Nutrition Clinic in 1998. As a parent of a child diagnosed with learning disabilities, she is acutely aware of the difficulties facing other parents like her, and she has devoted much of her time to helping these families. She realized that nutrition played a critical role in helping children and adults to overcome their disabilities, and has pioneered the use of probiotics in this field. Her willingness to share her knowledge has resulted in her contributing to many publications, as well as presenting at numerous seminars and conferences on the subjects of learning disabilities and digestive disorders. Her book Gut and Psychology Syndrome captures her experience and knowledge, incorporating her most recent work. She believes that the link between learning disabilities, the food and drink that we take, and the condition of our digestive system is absolute, and the results of her work have supported her position on this subject. In her clinic, parents discuss all aspects of their child's condition, confident in the knowledge that they are not only talking to a professional but to a parent who has lived their experience. Her deep understanding of the challenges they face puts her advice in a class of its own.
