Odpovědi z ticha - Jeffrey Chappel
"Tato kniha patří k tomu nejkvalitnějšímu, co nabízí současná ezoterická či spirituální literatura. J. Chappel na základě deníkových záznamů popisuje, jak dosáhl stavu "osvícení" a co se dělo poté. Zároveň ukazuje, jak se do té doby snažil řešit různé běžné problémy (pracovní, vztahové, zdravotní a další) na základě rozhovorů s tím, co nazývá své "osvícené Já"". Podstatnou část knihy tvoří záznamy těchto rozhovorů. Odpovědi ""vyššího Já"" na autorovy dotazy přitom mohou být inspirující pro každého z nás, protože jsou do velké míry univerzální. Najdete zde i návod, jak se také vy můžete spojit se svým vlastním "osvíceným Já" a nacházet tak moudré rady v jakékoliv situaci. Je to totiž tá část naší bytosti, jež je přítomná v každém člověku a s níž se můžeme spojit, kdykoliv si to přejeme. Kniha slouží jako příklad procesu duchovního dozrávání až do okamžiku, jenž lze nazvat "dosažením osvícení", ale také dál k návratu do běžného života po dosažení tohoto stavu. Autor je moderní člověk staršího středního věku žijící v současné západní společnosti a dokazuje, že mystické zkušenosti nesouvisí s pobytem v klášterech či ášramech ani se životem v přírodě či s jakýmikoliv jinými nezvyklými životními okolnostmi. Ani se žádnou konkrétní duchovní praxí - ačkoliv ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Odpověď z ticha - Max Frisch
Mladý učitel a poručík v záloze, zasnoubený, s dobrou vyhlídkou do života, se ocitl na pokraji zoufalství jen proto, že dosud nic výjimečného nevykonal. Aby si zasloužil své místo na světě, hodlá vykonat "čin hodný muže" alespoň nebezpečným horským výstupem. "Čin, nebo smrt" tu není patetické gesto, ale urputná touha najít odpověď na otázku po smyslu bytí. Otázky, které zmítají duší mladého muže, mohou svádět ke zlehčování nebo k ironizování, avšak jsou to otázky po žebříčku hodnot, po hodnotách mravních, duchovních a přízemních lidských cílů. Odpověď z ticha je druhou Frischovou knihou a silně reflektuje autorovo osobní tápání. Autor se po jejím napsání rozhodl zcela skoncovat s literárním psaním, veškeré rukopisy spálil a začal se věnovat architektuře. Ke psaní se vrátil až během služby v armádě. Tuto prózu, jako jedinou, nezařadil do souborného vydání svých spisů (1976). Byla vydavatelem uvolněna až po sedmdesáti letech od původního vydání.

Golden Years - James Chappel
An “essential” (The New Republic) account of the history of old age in modern America, showing how we created unprecedented security for some and painful uncertainty for others On farms and in factories, Americans once had little choice but to work until death. As the nation prospered, a new idea was born: the right to a dignified and secure old age. That project has benefited millions, but it remains incomplete—and today it’s under siege.   In Golden Years, historian James Chappel shows how old age first emerged as a distinct stage of life and how it evolved over the last century, shaped by politicians’ choices, activists’ demands, medical advancements, and cultural models from utopian novels to The Golden Girls. Only after World War II did government subsidies and employer pensions allow people to retire en masse. Just one generation later, this model crumbled. Older people streamed back into the workforce, and free-market policymakers pushed the burdens of aging back onto older Americans and their families. We now confront an old age mired in contradictions: ever longer lifespans and spiraling health-care costs, 401(k)s and economic precarity, unprecedented opportunity and often disastrous instability.     As the population of ...

Theater Kid - Jeffrey Seller
A coming-of-age tale from one of the most successful American producers of our time, Jeffrey Seller, who is the only producer to have mounted two Pulitzer Prize–winning musicals—Hamilton and Rent. Before he was producing the musical hits of our generation, Jeffrey was just a kid coming to terms with his adoption, trying to understand his sexuality, and determined to escape his dysfunctional household in a poor neighborhood just outside Detroit. We see him find his voice through musical theater and move to New York, where he is determined to shed his past and make a name for himself on Broadway. But moving to the big city is never easy—especially not at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis—and Jeffrey learns to survive and thrive in the colorful and cutthroat world of commercial theatre. From his early days as an office assistant, to meeting Jonathan Larson and experiencing the triumph and tragedy of Rent, to working with Lin-Manuel Miranda on In the Heights and Hamilton, Jeffrey completely pulls back the curtain on the joyous and gut-wrenching process of making new musicals, finding new audiences, and winning a Tony Award—all the while finding himself.

Činí tak prostřednictvím různých dotazníků, cvičení a námětů k zamyšlení, které mají vést k sebereflexi a zároveň k tomu, že terapeut si vede zápisky, které shrnují jeho vlastní práci. Kottlerovým cílem je, aby si terapeut-čtenář ujasnil, co se mu na vlastní práci lidí a nelíbí, v souvislosti s tím si stanovil cíle na zlepšení a vytvořil plán změny, takže jeho vlastní práce bude efektivnější a zároveň jej bude více uspokojovat. Bez ohledu na míru jejich zkušenosti má tato kniha terapeutům pomoci: odhalovat vlastní zdroje stresu a konfliktů; oživovat motivaci a kreativitu; pracovat s protipřenosem nebo s intenzivními vztahy; léčit osobní rány; zlepšovat klinické dovednosti; zvyšovat efektivitu; zvyšovat osobní vliv; přenášet terapeutické dovednosti do osobního života; integrovat osobní a profesní dimenzi života tak, že kvalita terapeutova života bude vyšší.

A Short History of Stupidity - Stuart Jeffries
A Short History of Stupidity We are living, it is often said, in a golden age of stupidity, in which boneheaded, mendacious politicians get elected by voters who've become too mindless to realize their interests are ill served by narcissists, while vapid social media influencers corrupt their no less witless followers with groundless conspiracy theories and eye-wateringly foolish takedowns of scientific expertise. Our time, one might be forgiven for thinking, is one in which the fool's gold of stupidity has become a desirable commodity, a must-have, with bumbling celebrities venerated more than those who have more than two brain cells to rub together. In this book, Stuart Jeffries analyses how we got into this parlous state and wonders if the stupid, like the poor, are always with us, or if, rather, stupidity is like Japanese knotweed, difficult to root out but to be exterminated with extreme prejudice. He considers what some of the greatest of minds — Socrates, Buddha, Voltaire, Arendt, and others — have to tell us about the slippery nature of stupidity. During a narrative that takes us from ancient Greece to artificial intelligence, and accompanied by such heroes of stupidity as Flaubert's double act Bouvard and Pécuchet, ...

I’ve been incarcerated in a cell five paces by three for twelve and a half hours, and will not be let out again until midday; eighteen and a half hours of solitary confinement. There is a child of seventeen in the cell below me who has been charged with shoplifting – his first offence, not even convicted – and he is being locked up for eighteen and a half hours, unable to speak to anyone. This is Great Britain in the twenty-first century, not Turkey, not Nigeria, not Kosovo, but Britain.’On Thursday 19 July 2001, after a perjury trial lasting seven weeks, Jeffrey Archer was sentenced to four years in jail. He was to spend the first twenty-two days and fourteen hours in HMP Belmarsh, a double A-Category high-security prison in South London, which houses some of Britain’s most violent criminals.
