The perfect pocketbook gift for the power-hungry - from 'the modern Machiavelli', Robert Greene, international bestselling sensation author of The 48 Laws of Power, Seduction and War. This concise version of the business classic Mastery provides a shortcut to Greene's powerful new tools for achieving greatness. Around the globe, people are facing the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we want to succeed. To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then change them completely.Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy, Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret of their eventual greatness lies in a 'rigorous apprenticeship': they learnt to master the 'hidden codes' which determine ultimate success or failure. Then, they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality.Told through Robert Greene's signature blend of historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on interviews with world leaders, Concise Mastery builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and learn how to start living by your own rules.

Jedna z celosvětově nejúspěšnějších a nejprodávanějších knih o tom, jak funguje moc. Amorální, skandální, velice cynická, a přitom nesmírně pravdivá.Naučí vás poznat a správně si vysvětlovat myšlenky, přání i chování druhých a využívat to ve svůj prospěch. Díky radám autora pro vás bude mnohem snazší postupovat po kariérním žebříčku. Autor je velký znalec lidské psychologie a ví, co říká. To, co popisuje, v dnešním světě opravdu funguje. Není to duchovní či ezoterická kniha. Je to cynický návod na to, jak nenápadně manipulovat, využívat a překonávat jiné lidi tak, abychom měli čím dál větší moc, čím dál větší úspěch.Tento návod však stojí na dobré znalosti lidské povahy. A zároveň, uvedené zákonitosti jsou podány velmi rafinovaně – na to, aby je člověk opravdu pochopil a vhodně uplatňoval, musí být silný, rozhodný, inteligentní a vynalézavý. Na cestě k moci je totiž nutné rozvíjet své silné stránky a nejednu pozitivní vlastnost. Motivací sice může být moc, zisk a osobní prospěch, ale to člověka současně nevyhnutně pohání vpřed na cestě celkového rozvoje a růstu.Každá kapitola představuje jeden ze 48 daných zákonů, a to podle této osnovy: znění zákona; z něj plynoucí rady (v knize nazvané „klíče k moci“); příběh z historie, případně nějaké podobenství či legenda, jež daný zákon ilustruje; rozbor celého tématu; symbolické znázornění podstaty uvedeného zákona; citát známé osobnosti. Skutečné případy čtenáře poučí, jak i z prohrané pozice můžete ješte stále směřovat k vítězství.

Tato kniha je hlavně o psychologickém svádění, aby lidé podlehli vašemu kouzlu. Je to velmi svůdná kniha. Už jen při jejím čtení ve vás začnou sílit netušené schopnosti a možnosti. Svádění je vrcholný projev moci. Ten, kdo mu podlehne, tak nečiní z donucení, ale ochotně a s radostí. Ženám se líbí svádět muže a muže ženy; spisovatelé svádějí čtenáře, herci diváky, prodavači zákazníky, politici svádějí voliče, tedy nás všechny. A přesto jen nemnozí lidé ovládají umění svádět. Tato kniha obsahuje promyšlené lekce, jak se chovat, pokud je vaším cílem někoho svést. Robert Greene je velký znalec lidské duše. Jeho styl psaní je velmi inteligentní, kultivovaný, inspirativní a vtipný. Vypráví o tom, co je pro člověka lákavé a svůdné, tak poutavě, že už jen při čtení těchto stránek máme chuť zažít něco vzrušujícího, krásného a neobyčejného. Uvedená důkladně podložená vysvětlení se týkají univerzálních lidských sklonů, tužeb a slabostí. Vnímavý čtenář si z nich snadno vyvodí obecnější poznatky, jež může aplikovat i jinde než v oblasti erotiky a lásky. Svádění je velmi mocná psychologická hra. Moudrý autor proto nezapomíná ani na důležitá varování a upozornění. Hlavním cílem je totiž užívat si život nad rámec všednosti, povinností a omezení.

Počátečním bodem pro určení správné strategie je vaše mysl. Staňte se skutečným mistrem strategie při řešení všech druhů konfliktů. Mysl, která nevidí svět jasně a nedokáže rozpoznat priority, vytváří strategie, jež se vždy minou účinkem. Odvážná kniha o odvěké součásti lidského života a společnosti – bojování a válčení, vítězství a prohře. Díkybohu žijeme v části světa, kde nezuří válka, přesto však všude stále probíhají nějaké konflikty, jež se nás více či méně dotýkají. Kromě toho každý z nás ve svém osobním životě pravidelně o něco bojuje a naráží na různé formy nepřátelství. Autor vychází ze skvělé znalosti lidské povahy i potřeb dnešní doby. Ve 33 kapitolách předkládá strategie a klíčové dovednosti, které vedou k úspěchu a síle. Ty podkládá citáty osobností, jež se staly v dějinách známými úspěšnými dobyvateli či válečnými stratégy, jako například Napoleon či Winston Churchill, nejvíc však cituje staré čínské dílo Umění války od Sun-c’ (4. století př. n. l.). „O vítězství ve válkách a všech druzích konfliktů rozhoduje strategie. Počátečním bodem je vaše mysl. Mysl, která nevidí svět jasně a nedokáže rozpoznat priority, vytváří strategie, jež se minou účinkem. Abyste se stali skutečnými stratégy, musíte učinit tři kroky. Za prvé je třeba si uvědomit, jaké slabosti mohou narušovat strategické schopnosti vaší mysli. Za druhé – vyhlaste určitý druh války sami sobě, abyste se posunuli dál. A za třetí: bojujte nemilosrdně, bez přestání a s využitím jistých strategií proti nepřátelům uvnitř své osobnosti.“ „Žijeme v době, kdy jsou lidé jen zřídka otevřeně nepřátelští. Pravidla boje – ať už sociálního, politického nebo vojenského – se změnila. Ačkoliv je dnes na světě více soutěživosti a konkurence než kdykoliv dříve, přímá agrese je chápána jako něco nepřípustného, takže lidé se naučili útočit nečekaně a lstivě.“

Now in a revised and updated 6th edition, the groundbreaking, research-based approach to understanding and parenting children who frequently exhibit severe fits of temper and other challenging behaviors, from a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the field.What’s an explosive child? A child who responds to routine problems with extreme frustration—crying, screaming, swearing, kicking, hitting, biting, spitting, destroying property, and worse. A child whose frequent, severe outbursts leave his or her parents feeling frustrated, scared, worried, and desperate for help. Most of these parents have tried everything-reasoning, explaining, punishing, sticker charts, therapy, medication—but to no avail. They can’t figure out why their child acts the way he or she does; they wonder why the strategies that work for other kids don’t work for theirs; and they don’t know what to do instead.Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren’t attention-seeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren’t passive, permissive pushovers. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach to parenting. Throughout this compassionate, insightful, and practical book, Dr. Greene provides a new conceptual framework for understanding their difficulties, based on research in the neurosciences. He explains why traditional parenting and treatment often don’t work with these children, and he describes what to do instead. Instead of relying on rewarding and punishing, Dr. Greene’s Collaborative Problem Solving model promotes working with explosive children to solve the problems that precipitate explosive episodes, and teaching these kids the skills they lack.

It's summer in the City: the economy is booming, profits are up and the stock market sits near record highs.But journalist Gil Peck is a lone voice worrying it can't last. Deep in the plumbing of the financial system, he has noticed strange things happening which could threaten the whole economy. But nobody wants to hear it: not the politicians taking credit for an end to boom and bust, not the bankers pocketing vast bonuses, not even Gil's bosses at the BBC, who think it's irrelevant.When Gil gets a tip-off that a small northern bank has run out of money, everything changes. His report sparks the first run on a UK bank in 140 years. The next day, Marilyn Krol, a director of the Bank of England dies in an apparent suicide.For Gil, it's personal. Marilyn was his lover: was his scoop connected to her suicide? Or is there something more sinister in her death? Gil is determined to find out.The more he investigates, the more he is drawn into the rotten heart of the financial system, where old school ties and secret Oxbridge societies lubricate vast and illegal conflicts of interest. The whole economy has been built on a house of cards, and Gil is threatening to bring it down.When simply reporting the facts can make or break fortunes, Gil has to ask himself: is he crossing the line between journalist and participant? Are his own conflicts of interest making him reckless?

The eyes of the world are on Paris, where statesmen, diplomats and politicians have gathered to discuss the fate of half the world's nations in the aftermath of the cataclysm that was the Great War. A horde of journalists, spies and opportunists have also gathered in the city and the last thing the British diplomatic community needs at such a time is the mysterious death of a senior member of their delegation. So, when Sir Henry Maxted falls from the roof of his mistress's apartment building in unexplained circumstances, their first instinct is to suppress all suspicious aspects of the event. But Sir Henry's son, ex Royal Flying Corps ace James 'Max' Maxted, has other ideas. He resolves to find out how and why his father died - even if this means disturbing the impression of harmonious calm which the negotiating teams have worked so hard to maintain. In a city where countries are jostling for position at the crossroads of history and the stakes could hardly be higher, it is difficult to tell who is a friend and who a foe. And Max will soon discover just how much he needs friends, as his search for the truth sucks him into the dark heart of a seemingly impenetrable mystery.

For the first time ever, New York Times bestselling author and former CIA operative Robert Baer tells the explosive story of how insiders believe a KGB mole rose to the highest ranks of the CIA. In the aftermath of the Cold War, US intelligence caught three high-profile Russian spies. However, these arrests left major questions unanswered, and rumours have long swirled of another mole, often referred to as the Fourth Man. Three pioneering female veterans of counterintelligence were tasked with unearthing him. With steadfast determination and expertise, they came to a shocking conclusion, one which had, and continues to harbour, dramatic consequences for American security. In this gripping insider account, Baer tells a thrilling story of Russian espionage and American intelligence. With profound implications for the rise of Vladimir Putin and international relations with Russia, The Fourth Man is a real-life spy thriller with echoes of John Le Carre.

No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. Hailed as ‘the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet’ by T.S. Eliot, he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes. In iconic poems like ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’, simple images summon the rural landscape of New England, and Frost unfailingly moves the reader with his profound grasp of the human condition. This is the most comprehensive and authoritative volume of Frost's verse available, comprising all eleven volumes of his poems, meticulously edited by Edward Connery Lathem. Review "The most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living" (T. S. Eliot)"Frost was the first American poet who could honestly be reckoned a master-poet by world standards" (Robert Graves)"Robert Frost has passed into the poetic pantheon" (Independent)"Of all the poetry written in our generation, Frost's is most likely to stand the test of time" (Lewis Gannett) About the Author Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874. After the death of his father he moved with his mother and sister to Massachusetts. His first collection, A Boy's Will, was published in 1913. In 1924 he won the first of four Pulitzer Prizes for his fourth book, New Hampshire. In the 1930s, as he became ever more revered, he suffered a series of family tragedies: his youngest child Marjorie died in 1934, his wife Elinor in 1938, and his son Carol in 1940. Another daughter, Irma, suffered from mental illness. Frost's last major collection, A Witness Tree (1942), contains a number of poems reflecting these disasters. In 1957 Robert Frost received honorary degrees from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He died in January 1963.
