Psychopatův průvodce na cestě k úspěchu - Andy McNab, Kevin Dutton

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. Výzkumný pracovník katedry experimentální psychologie na Oxfordské univerzitě je autorem úspěšné knihy Moudrost psychopatů (Portál, 2019).Andy McNab je bývalý příslušník SAS, dnes konzultant a spisovatel.

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.

The Spiritual Hunt - Arthur Rimbaud

A long lost poem purportedly by Rimbaud is finally made available in English.Referenced only in a few letters of Paul Verlaine, The Spiritual Hunt is Arthur Rimbaud''s forgotten masterwork, a poem in five parts that explored the mystic philosophy that guided the young poet''s heart and hand. Considered lost for years, a typewritten manuscript appeared in Paris in the late 1920s, circulating around a close-knit group of booksellers, poets, and playwrights. Yet it wasn''t until 1949 that Mercure de France took the initiative to publish the unauthenticated galley and unleashed a literary controversy that shook France. Sides were drawn, with Andre Breton leading the charge of forgery, calling the work an utter hoax, and others defending it as legitimate and an essential key to understanding Rimbaud and his work. Bookstores were raided for copies, critics were skewered in journals, and tempers flared on radio and in print, but no conclusive judgement could be drawn and Mercure de France withdrew the work from publication and pulped all the copies they could find.Now, seventy-five years after its initial imbroglio, The Spiritual Hunt is available in English for the first time with a facsimile letterpress edition of the original.
