The Art of Making Memories : How to Create and Remember Happy Moments - Meik Wiking

The third book from the CEO of The Happiness Research Institute and internationally bestselling author of The Little Book of Hygge, Meik Wiking. Every year, we are given a fixed number of days. Some days pass us by without leaving a trace and some days we remember forever. Do you remember your first kiss? Or how the first rays of the spring sun feel? Or how about the best meal you ever had?These memorable experiences are characterized by intensity of perception, depth of feeling or sense of profound significance causing them to stand out in our mind and involve a heightened sense of wonder and awe. But what ingredients produce these happy memories? Why is it that a piece of music, a smell, a taste can take us back to something we had forgotten? And can we learn to create happy memories and be better at holding on to them? Combining research on happiness and mnemonics (learning techniques that aids memory retention or retrieval) Meik Wiking explores how peak experiences are made, stored and remembered. Using data and diaries, interviews, global surveys and studies and conducting real-life behavioural science and happiness experiments, the Happiness Research Institute will answer how we can we create perfect moments. Moments that will go down in history. Moments that will shape who we are.

The Art of Gathering : How We Meet and Why It Matters - Priya Parker

We spend our lives gathering - first in classrooms and then in meetings, weddings, conferences and away days. Yet so many of us spend this time in underwhelming moments that fail to engage us, inspire us, or connect us. We've all sat in meetings where people talk past each other or go through the motions and others which galvanize a team and remind everyone why they first took the job. We've been to weddings that were deeply moving and others that were run-of-the-mill and simply faded away. Why do some moments take off and others fizzle? What's the difference between the gatherings that inspire you and the ones that don't? In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker gets to the heart of these questions and reveals how to design a transformative gathering. An expert on organizing successful gatherings whether in conference centres or her living room, Parker shows us how to create moving, magical, mind-changing experiences - even in spaces where we've come to expect little.

Living with Leonardo: Fifty years of sanity and insanity in the art world and beyond - Martin J. Kemp

Martin Kemp, described by The Times as ‘the world’s leading authority on Leonardo’, relates his fifty-year relationship with the most famous artist of all time In Living with Leonardo, world-renowned Leonardo da Vinci expert Martin Kemp relates his fifty-year relationship with the work of the most famous artist of all time. Through an engaging personal narrative inter-woven with historical research, we learn of Kemp’s encounters with the vast population that surrounds Leonardo: great and lesser academics, collectors and curators, devious dealers and unctuous auctioneers, major scholars and authors, pseudo-historians and fantasists. He shares how he has grappled with swelling legions of ‘Leonardo loonies’, walked on the eggshells of vested interests in academia and museums, and fended off fusillades of non-Leonardos, sometimes more than one a week. Examining the greatest masterpieces, from the Last Supper to Salvator Mundi, through the expert’s eye, we learn first-hand of the thorny questions that surround attribution, the scientific analyses that support the experts’ interpretations, and the continuing importance of connoisseurship. Throughout, from the most scholarly interpretations to the popularity of Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code, we are reminded of Leonardo’s unique genius and wonder at how an artist from 500 years ago continues to make such compelling posthumous demands on all those who engage with him. Contents List Preface and Acknowledgements Introduction: Art History in Action Prologue: a Sketch of Leonardo 1. The Last Supper and the First Steps 2. The “Original” Last Supper 3.

Policy Work and Politicisation in the Ministries of the Czech Republic: The Dilemmas of State Service - Jan Kohoutek - e-kniha

eBook: Over the past thirty years, the Czech public administration has been the subject of research rooted in law, economics, and history. However, only minimal attention has been paid to what Czech public officials actually do on the job (policy work) and the extent of politically motivated interference in their work (politicisation). This book aims to fill this gap by presenting the evidence derived from a large-N survey of the Czech ministries, the first of its kind in the country. The findings presented in the book offer new insights into the activities within the “ivory towers” of the Czech ministries and defy popular notions of an appallingly politicised bureaucracy.

How Not To Be Wrong: The Art of Changing Your Mind - James O'Brien

THE INTIMATE, REVEALING NEW BOOK FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING, PRIZE-WINNING HOW TO BE RIGHT There's no point having a mind if you're not willing to change it James O'Brien has built well over a million loyal listeners to his radio show by dissecting the opinions of callers live on air, every day. But winning the argument doesn't necessarily mean you're right. In this deeply personal book, James turns the mirror on himself to reveal what he has changed his mind about and why, and explores how examining and changing our own views is our new civic duty in a world of outrage, disagreement and echo chambers. He writes candidly about the stiff upper lip attitudes and toxic masculinity that coloured his childhood, and the therapy and personal growth that have led him question his assumptions and explore new perspectives. Laying open his personal views on everything from racial prejudice to emotional vulnerability, from fat-shaming to tattoos, he then delves into the real reasons -- often irrational or unconscious -- he holds them. Unflinchingly honest, revealing and funny, How Not to Be Wrong is a tonic for a world more divided than ever and a personal manifesto for a better way of thinking and living. Because after all, if we can't change our own minds we'll never really be able to change anyone else's.

Lykke (Defekt) - Meik Wiking

Dejte svému životu Lykke. Zapojte se do revolučního tažení za štěstím! Autor světového bestselleru Hygge – Prostě šťastný způsob života přichází s dalšími inspirativními nápady a návrhy, jak dosáhnout většího štěstí. Vezme nás na výpravu za pokladem jménem Lykke, tedy hledáním a nalézáním dobra, které ve světě kolem nás ještě je. Dánové jsou sice nejšťastnější národ na světě, ale štěstí jako takové není výhradně dánské. Kultury po celém světě mají své jedinečné cesty vedoucí ke spokojenému a naplněnému životu. Meik Wiking v rámci práce v Institutu pro výzkum štěstí v Kodani procestoval celý svět od Dubaje po Finsko, Ria de Janeira po Bhútán, Jižní Koreje po USA a hledal tajemství těch nejšťastnějších lidí. V knize Lykke – Tajemství nejšťastnějších lidí na světě definuje Meik šest stěžejních faktorů, které vysvětlují valnou většinu rozdílů ve štěstí na světě, a to pospolitost, peníze, zdraví, svobodu, důvěru a laskavost. Zkoumá, jaké kroky můžeme podniknout, abychom vedli šťastnější život. Zjišťuje, že se budeme cítit pohodověji a spokojeněji, pokud jen trochu změníme chování, ať už je to stolování po francouzském vzoru (kdy posedíme kolem stolu a vychutnáváme každý okamžik) či tančení tanga jako Argentinci v Buenos Aires. S vřelostí a důvtipem sobě vlastním zkoumá Meik Wiking rozdíl ve štěstí u rodičů a u bezdětných párů, kolik peněz skutečně potřebujeme na „pořízení štěstí“, jak být zdravější, aniž bychom museli do fitness centra, jak se naučit budovat důvěru a spolupráci, jak si můžeme pomoct tím, že pomůžeme jiným, a proč naše očekávání často převáží skutečnost. Lykke – Tajemství nejšťastnějších lidí na světě v sobě snoubí výsledky výzkumů i osobní příběhy a je globální mapou radosti, která nabízí nový přístup k dosažení každodenního štěstí, které nám nepřinese jen hezčí život, ale pomůže nám vybudovat lepší společnost i lepší svět.

For better or worse, Wagner is the most widely influential figure in the history of music. Around 1900, the phenomenon known as Wagnerism saturated European and American culture. Such colossal creations as The Ring of the Nibelung, Tristan und Isolde, and Parsifal were models of formal daring, mythmaking, erotic freedom, and mystical speculation. A mighty procession of artists, including Virginia Woolf, Thomas Mann, Paul Cézanne, Isadora Duncan, and Luis Bunuel, felt his impact.

Appearance Stripped Bare: Desire and the Object in the Work of Marcel Duchamp and Jeff Koons, Even - Gioni

The first book to explore two of the biggest names in modern and contemporary art side by side, Marcel Duchamp and Jeff Koons In the first half of the 20th century, Marcel Duchamp redefined what we consider art and what it means to be an artist. Many of his ideas return, transformed, in the work of Jeff Koons, born when Duchamp was 68 years old and whose own career lit up the art world of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This is the first book to explore the affinities between these two highly influential artists, whose creative universes similarly question the function of objects and the allure of commodities. International art historians, writers, and curators contribute their expertise on topics such as each artist's persona, as well as reflecting on the influence of technology and sexuality on their work. The publication of this intriguing book coincides with an exhibition at the Museo Jumex in Mexico City, opening in May 2019.

Lykke - Meik Wiking - e-kniha

eBook: Dejte svému životu Lykke. Zapojte se do revolučního tažení za štěstím! Autor světového bestselleru Hygge – Prostě šťastný způsob života přichází s dalšími inspirativními nápady a návrhy, jak dosáhnout většího štěstí. Vezme nás na výpravu za pokladem jménem Lykke, tedy hledáním a nalézáním dobra, které ve světě kolem nás ještě je. Dánové jsou sice nejšťastnější národ na světě, ale štěstí jako takové není výhradně dánské. Kultury po celém světě mají své jedinečné cesty vedoucí ke spokojenému a naplněnému životu. Meik Wiking v rámci práce v Institutu pro výzkum štěstí v Kodani procestoval celý svět od Dubaje po Finsko, Ria de Janeira po Bhútán, Jižní Koreje po USA a hledal tajemství těch nejšťastnějších lidí. V knize Lykke – Tajemství nejšťastnějších lidí na světě definuje Meik šest stěžejních faktorů, které vysvětlují valnou většinu rozdílů ve štěstí na světě, a to pospolitost, peníze, zdraví, svobodu, důvěru a laskavost. Zkoumá, jaké kroky můžeme podniknout, abychom vedli šťastnější život. Zjišťuje, že se budeme cítit pohodověji a spokojeněji, pokud jen trochu změníme chování, ať už je to stolování po francouzském vzoru (kdy posedíme kolem stolu a vychutnáváme každý okamžik) či tančení tanga jako Argentinci v Buenos Aires. S vřelostí a důvtipem sobě vlastním zkoumá Meik Wiking rozdíl ve štěstí u rodičů a u bezdětných párů, kolik peněz skutečně potřebujeme na „pořízení štěstí“, jak být zdravější, aniž bychom museli do fitness centra, jak se naučit budovat důvěru a spolupráci, jak si můžeme pomoct tím, že pomůžeme jiným, a proč naše očekávání často převáží skutečnost. Lykke – Tajemství nejšťastnějších lidí na světě v sobě snoubí výsledky výzkumů i osobní příběhy a je globální mapou radosti, která nabízí nový přístup k dosažení každodenního štěstí, které nám nepřinese jen hezčí život, ale pomůže nám vybudovat lepší společnost i lepší svět.

Je to o sdílení se s lidmi, které máme rádi. Pocit domova. Pocit bezpečí. Pocit vnitřního klidu a blaženosti.

Žijte dnes tak, jako by už zítřek nikdy neměl přijít. Jak být šťastný po dánsku Praktický průvodce dánskou životní filozofií *** „Kniha o hygge, která je v Británii bestsellerem, vás spolehlivě vtáhne do světa více než příjemného životního stylu.“The New York Times „Nakažlivě pozitivní… nejlepší průvodce pro začátečníky.“Mail on Sunday „Meik Wiking zná recept na štěstí, dělí se o něj ve svém skvostném průvodci dánským stavem bytí, který zahrnuje útulnost, družnost, vděčnost a dobré jídlo.“The Times

Umění vytvářet vzpomínky - Meik Wiking

Vzpomínky jsou stavebními kameny naší identity, podílejí se na tom, kým jsme a jak se chováme i jak se cítíme. Meik Wiking při výzkumu štěstí zjistil, že jsou lidé šťastnější, pokud se staví k minulosti pozitivně až nostalgicky. Jenže jak na to, abychom si vytvářeli a pamatovali vzpomínky, které nám budou trvale přinášet radost? Autor v této knize zkoumá, jak v mozku vznikají mentální obrazy, jak se ukládají a vyvolávají, a zároveň mysl také opouštějí - proč máme tendenci zapomínat určité okamžiky, abychom udělali prostor pro hlubší a smysluplnější. Na základě dat, rozhovorů, celosvětových studií a experimentů z reálného života vysvětluje nuance nostalgie a způsoby, jak si utváříme vzpomínky na zážitky a jak si je vybavujeme - odhaluje, jakou sílu má mezi vzpomínkami prvotní zkušenost a proč dokáže hudba, vůně nebo chuť nečekaně vyvolat prožitek z minulosti. V neposlední řadě nám ukazuje, jak si každý z nás může vytvářet vřelé vzpomínky, které nás budou hřát po celé roky.

He also collaborated with artists and photographers, including Derek Boshier and Brian Griffin, and produced paintings, furniture, set designs and promo videos, not least the era-defining clip for The Specials’ 80’s hit, ‘Ghost Town’. This revised edition of Paul Gorman’s definitive Barney Bubbles monograph contains hundreds of rare and previously unpublished photographs, working sketches, notebooks and original artwork.

How to Fall Out of Love Madly : A Novel - Casale Jana

“Three relatable thirty somethings drive this ode to womanhood. Learning the hard way to love themselves, the women teach invaluable lessons.”—People“Everyone who loves Sally Rooney should be reading Jana Casale!”—Julie Buntin, author of Marlena Three women confront the compromises they’ve made to appease the men they love.Joy and Annie are friends and roommates whose thirty-something lives aren’t exactly what they’d imagined. To make ends meet, they decide to rent their extra bedroom to Theo, who charms Joy with his salt-and-pepper hair and adoration of their one-eyed cat. When Annie goes to live with her boyfriend, Theo and Joy settle into a comfortable domesticity. Then Theo brings home Celine, the girlfriend he’s never mentioned, who is possibly the most stunning woman Joy has ever seen. Joy resolves to do whatever it takes to hold on to him, falling ever deeper into an emotional hellscape of her own making. She is too obsessed to realize that Celine’s beauty doesn’t protect her from pain. Haunted by an event from her past, Celine can’t escape her shame and finds herself in an endless cycle of self-sabotage.Annie is baffled by Joy’s senseless devotion to Theo, but she’s consumed by her own obsessions: she can’t stop parsing her commitment-phobic boyfriend’s texts in an exhausting mission to maintain his approval. At work, where she fully embraces her natural assertiveness, Annie is a star. But when an anonymous letter lands on her desk accusing her esteemed and supportive boss of sexual misconduct, she is forced to decide who and what she’s willing to stand up for.Perceptive, mordantly funny, and full of heart, How to Fall Out of Love Madly examines women’s many relationships—with one another, their mothers, their work, men, and themselves—to reveal their underlying power and complexity. It asks, why do so many smart, compassionate, otherwise empowered women tolerate egregious behavior from the men they love? And what will it take for them to reclaim control?

Moving from Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks to Andy Warhol’s Time Capsules, from Henry Darger’s hoarding to David Wojnarowicz’s AIDS activism, Laing conducts an electric, dazzling investigation into what it means to be alone, illuminating not only the causes of loneliness but also how it might be resisted and redeemed. Humane, provocative, and moving, The Lonely City is a celebration of a strange and lovely state, adrift from the larger continent of human experience, but intrinsic to the very act of being alive.
