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.

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.

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.

Arthur's initial hostility towards Bethany turns to affection as he discovers a kindred spirit who shares his interest in the Holy Grail and his devotion to literature.

Kniha - autor Judea Pearl; Dana Mackenzie, 432 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

Translated by Yuan Shibing and J.J.L.Duyvendak. With introductions by Robert Wilkinson. The two political classics in this book are the product of a time of intense turmoil in Chinese history.Dating from the Period of the Warring States (403-221BC), they anticipate Machiavelli's The Prince by nearly 2000 years. The Art of War is the best known of a considerable body of Chinese works on the subject. It analyses the nature of war, and reveals how victory may be ensured.The Book of Lord Shang is a political treatise for the instruction of rulers. These texts are anything but armchair strategy or ivory-tower speculation. They are serious, urgent and practical responses to the desperate situations in which they were written.They have been immensely influential both inside and outside China.

I left him and now he may be dead. Once upon a time there was a beautiful village that held a million stories of love and loss and peace and war, and it was swallowed up by a fire that blazed up to the sky.The fire ran all the way down to the sea where it met with its reflection. A family from two nations, England and Greece, live a simple life in a tiny Greek village: Irini, Tasso and their daughter, lovely, sweet Chara, whose name means joy. Their life goes up in flames in a single day when one man starts a fire out of greed and indifference.Many are killed, homes are destroyed, and the region's natural beauty wiped out. In the wake of the fire, Chara bears deep scars across her back and arms. Tasso is frozen in trauma, devastated that he wasn't there when his family most needed him.And Irini is crippled by guilt at her part in the fate of the man who started the fire. But this family has survived, and slowly green shoots of hope and renewal will grow from the smouldering ruins of devastation. Once again, Christy Lefteri has crafted a novel which is intimate and epic, sweeping and delicate.The Book of Fire explores not only the damage wrought by human folly, and the costs of survival in our changing world, but also - and ultimately - our powers of redemption and renewal.

Written not only for martial artists but for anyone who wants to apply the timeless principles of this text to their life, the book analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict that underlies every level of human interaction. The Book of Five Rings was composed in 1643 by the famed duelist and undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi.
