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.

Staňte se mistrem v dešifrování lidského chováníČlověk je společenský tvor – schopnost rozumět chování lidí kolem vás je proto vaším nejúčinnějším nástrojem. Lidská přirozenost je totiž silnější než kterýkoli jedinec, kterákoli instituce nebo technický vynález. Dennodenně vás ovlivňuje, a pokud toto působení odhalíte a naučíte se s ním pracovat, zlepšíte kvalitu svého života i svých vztahů.Na základě myšlenek a příkladů královny Alžběty I., Martina Luthera Kinga ml. a mnoha dalších vás Robert Greene naučí, jak se odpoutat od vlastních emocí a zvládnout sebekontrolu, jak rozvinout empatii, která vede k prozření, a jak nahlédnout za masky lidí.Tato kniha konfrontuje váš pohled na svět a zároveň vám poskytne brilantní taktiky, které ve svém osobním i pracovním životě využijete pro sebezdokonalování, úspěch i sebeobranu.Díky této knize se mimo jiné naučíte:*reagovat v emočně vypjatých situacích,*nestát se obětí a jednat i s lidmi, kteří vám ztěžují život,*proč občas extrémy v lidském chování skrývají úplný charakterový opak,*proč se lidé neustále obrací k vůdčím osobnostem, které apelují na to nejhorší v nich,*co způsobuje anonymní agresivitu lidí v online prostředí,*proč lidé tak touží po tom, co mají druzí,*že lidé jsou mnohem tajemnější, složitější a zajímavější, než jste si kdy představovali.„Co kdybychom se mohli ponořit pod povrch, nahlédnout hluboko dovnitř a přiblížit se skutečným kořenům toho, co vyvolává lidské chování?“ – Robert Greene

The Collected Poems - Robert Frost
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.

The Revolutionary Temper - Robert Darnton
A Sunday Times, Times Literary Supplement, and The Times Book of the Yearâ ˜Robert Darnton is one of the worldâ ™s greatest historians, and this is an exceptional book: a huge social and cultural portrait of Paris in the build-up to the French Revolutionâ ™ Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times, Books of the Year When a Parisian crowd stormed the Bastille in July 1789, it triggered an event of global consequence: the overthrow of the monarchy and the birth of a new society. Most historians account for the French Revolution by viewing it as the outcome of underlying conditions such as a faltering economy, class conflict or Enlightenment ideology. Without denying any of these, Robert Darnton offers a different explanation: what Parisians themselves, those at the centre of the Revolution, thought was happening at the time and how it guided their actions. To understand the rise of what he calls â ˜the revolutionary temperâ ™, Darnton draws on a lifetimeâ ™s study of pamphlets, books, underground newsletters, songs and public performances, exploring Paris as an information society not unlike our own. Its news circuits were centred in cafes and market-places, on park benches, and under the Palais-Royalâ ™s Tree of Cracow, a favourite gathering-place for gossips. He shows how the events of forty years â “ from disastrous treaties, official corruption and royal scandal to thrilling hot-air balloon ascents and a new conception of the nation â “ all entered the collective consciousness of ordinary Parisians. As news and opinion travelled across this profoundly unequal society, public trust in royal authority eroded, its legitimacy was undermined, and the social order unravelled. Much of Robert Darntonâ ™s work has explained the hidden dynamics of history, never more so than in this exceptional book. It is a riveting narrative, but it adds a new dimension, the perceptions of contemporary Parisians, which allows us to see these momentous decades afresh.

Ten Laws of Operational Risk - Michael Grimwade
TEN LAWS OF OPERATIONAL RISK Unlike credit and market risk, operational risk currently lacks an overarching theory to explain how and why losses occur. As a result, operational risk managers have been forced to use unsatisfactory tools and processes that fail to add sufficient commercial value. In Ten Laws of Operational Risk: Understanding its Behaviours to Improve its Management, Michael Grimwade delivers an insightful discussion of the nature of operational risk and a groundbreaking redesign of the profession???s existing tools. The author???s Ten Laws are grounded on the business profiles of firms and the human and institutional behaviours that drive operational risk. They are underpinned by taxonomies for the causes; the inadequacies or failures that constitute both control failures and events; and the impacts of operational risks. Drawing on twenty-five years of first-hand experience and research, this book explains the patterns and trends that are apparent in the historical data and offers solutions to the persistent problems inherent in risk appetite, RCSAs, scenario analysis, reputational risk, stress testing, capital modeling, and insurance. It also provides fresh insights into the everyday activities of risk managers with respect to predictive key risk and control indicators, root cause analysis, why controls fail, the risks posed by change, and product risk profiles. Ten Laws of Operational Risk presents a structured and evidence-based approach to identifying emerging risks and predicting future behaviours related to pandemics, climate change, cybercrime, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. It includes revealing industry data, in-depth case studies, and real-world examples that shed light on recurring and obstinate problems in operational risk management. A must-read resource for Chief Risk Officers and other risk professionals, as well as regulators, management consultants, and students and scholars of operational risk, Ten Laws of Operational Risk provides an invaluable new, systematic, and rigorous approach to operational risk management. PRAISE FOR TEN LAWS OF OPERATIONAL RISK ???Operational Risk can no longer be described as a new concept, but as a discipline few attempts have been made to really understand its behaviour. In his book Michael does this very successfully, blending extensive practical experience with analytical thought leadership to propose a set of laws that explain why and how Operational Risks arise, and what can be done to manage them. Assertions are evidence based, with numerous real examples used to underpin his hypotheses. This is a valuable addition to Operational Risk thinking and is recommended for experienced professionals and novices alike.?????? Dr Luke Carrivick, Director of Research Information, ORX ???Michael has established himself as one of Operational Risk???s foremost thinkers. His ability to use historical data to analyse events is unrivalled. In this must-read book, he identifies ten fundamental laws that provide every Operational Risk practitioner with a clear set of rules they can use to understand current events and predict their impacts.?????? Andrew Sheen, former Head of the FSA???s Operational Risk Review team ???Michael is one of the most prominent thinkers in Operational Risk. He combines a long career in Operational Risk management and measurement with a deep, long-standing reflection on the fundamental causes, dynamics and patterns in the manifestation of Operational Risk events. He produces, with this book, a remarkable synthesis of his insightful and innovative work.?????? Dr Ariane Chapelle, Honorary Reader, University College London; Managing Partner, Chapelle Consulting ???Michael is a highly respected expert in the field of Operational Risk, who has developed some ground-breaking frameworks for analysing this risk and guiding better risk management decisions. As a working practitioner in the field he brings many insights that will appeal to other practitioners as well as regulators, students and scholars.??? ??? Professor Elizabeth Sheedy, Macquarie Business School ???Michael???s views and analysis challenge the traditional Basel II views of Operational Risk and are genuinely thought-provoking. His book on the Ten Laws of Operational Risk will give financial services clarity and a practical view, where it has been previously lacking, on how best to manage such risks.??????

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Special Edition) - Robert Louis Stevenson
Discover the story of Robert Louis Stevenson #39;s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with this exquisite edition from Union Square Co.’s Signature Gilded Editions series! The stunning The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde special edition features sprayed edges, color end pages, a built-in ribbon bookmark, and embossed foil cover. The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. What a study in contrasts is the friendship between Henry Jekyll and his boon companion, Edward Hyde. Where Jekyll is a handsome and respected man of science, Hyde is a surly and brutish misanthrope. Nevertheless, Jekyll allows Hyde free access to his home and laboratory and, surprisingly, madehim the sole beneficiary of his will. Given the closeness of their bond, it seems peculiar that no one has ever seen the two men together in public. And yet they share a remarkable chemistry. . . . First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is Robert Louis Stevenson #39;s classic tale of the duality of human nature and his iconic presentation of what would come to be referred to as the split personality. Born in 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Stevenson crafted this novella during the Victorian era, a period marked by strict social mores and a fascination with the dual nature of man. The story delves into the duality of human nature, portraying Dr. Henry Jekyll #39;s harrowing struggle with his darker self, Mr. Edward Hyde, through a transformative potion that he creates. Considered a pioneering work in the psychological horror genre, it explores themes of identity, human evil, and the societal pressures that influence personal choices. Historically, it reflects the Victorian anxiety about the public and private spheres and the fears of degeneration prevalent in the late nineteenth century. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde challenges the notion of inherent goodness and questions the possibility of fully understanding one #39;s own multiplicity and capacity for evil. Its enduring appeal lies in its profound philosophical questions about the essential conflict within human nature.

24 zákonů svádění - Robert Greene
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.

To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then how to 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 : by paying close and careful attention, 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, blasting previous patterns of achievement open from within.Told through Robert Greene s signature blend of historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on interviews with world leaders, Mastery builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and how to start living by your own rules.

The Tobacconist - Robert Seethaler
Set at a time of lengthening shadows, this is a novel about the sparks that illuminate the dark: of wisdom, compassion, defiance and courage. It is wry, piercing and also, fittingly, radiant. Daily MailFrom Robert Seethaler, the author of the Man Booker International shortlisted A Whole Life, comes a deeply moving story of ordinary lives profoundly affected by the Third Reich, in the tradition of novels such as Fred Uhlman s classic Reunion, Bernhard Schlink s The Reader and Rachel Seiffert s The Dark Room.When seventeen-year-old Franz exchanges his home in the idyllic beauty of the Austrian lake district for the bustle of Vienna, his homesickness quickly dissolves amidst the thrum of the city. In his role as apprentice to the elderly tobacconist Otto Trsnyek, he will soon be supplying the great and good of Vienna with their newspapers and cigarettes. Among the regulars is a Professor Freud, whose predilection for cigars and occasional willingness to dispense romantic advice will forge a bond between him and young Franz.It is 1937. In a matter of months Germany will annex Austria and the storm that has been threatening to engulf the little tobacconist will descend, leaving the lives of Franz, Otto and Professor Freud irredeemably changed.
