'It wasn't me. I didn't do it. And I'll never do it again!' says Brian Johnson of The Lives of Brian. That AC/DC's legendary front man got to do it all is one of the most cheering and entertaining stories in rock 'n'roll history.The son of a British army sergeant-major and Italian mother, Brian grew up in Dunston, Tyne and Wear, as it emerged from the shadow of the Second World War. Then he saw Little Richard on the BBC and it changed the course of his life.The choirboy and cub scout was going to be singer.For over a decade he tried to make his mark with a succession of bands. He appeared on to Top of the Pops, toured Australia and yet the big time looked out of reach. Then he was invited to London for an audition for one of the world's biggest rock acts. AC/DC were a band in crisis following the tragic death of their lead singer, Bon Scott, but with Brian on board they would record their masterpiece: Back in Black. It became the biggest selling rock album of all time. The tour that followed played to packed out arenas. Quickly embraced by the band's fans, the new boy had earned his spurs. But there was to be a twist in the tale. In 2016, Brian was forced to quit the band after being diagnosed with hearing loss, only to make a triumphant return to the band he loved with the release of 2020's smash hit album Power Up.It's been a rollercoaster of a life, throughout which Brian's kept his feet firmly on the ground, never losing touch with his roots.Warm, vivid, evocative, life-affirming and often laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian tells the story of one of our most well-loved performers in his own inimitable voice

THE CLASSIC BESTSELLER ON A TRUE CASE OF PAST-LIFE TRAUMA AND PAST-LIFE THERAPY FROM AUTHOR AND PSYCHOTHERAPIST DR BRIAN WEISSPsychiatrist Dr Brian Weiss had been working with Catherine, a young patient, for eighteen months. Catherine was suffering from recurring nightmares and chronic anxiety attacks. When his traditional methods of therapy failed, Dr Weiss turned to hypnosis and was astonished and sceptical when Catherine began recalling past-life traumas which seemed to hold the key to her problems. Dr Weiss''s scepticism was eroded when Catherine began to channel messages from ''the space between lives'', which contained remarkable revelations about his own life. Acting as a channel for information from highly evolved spirit entities called the Masters, Catherine revealed many secrets of life and death. This fascinating case dramatically altered the lives of Catherine and Dr Weiss, and provides important information on the mysteries of the mind, the continuation of life after death and the influence of our past-life experiences on our present behaviour.

Chci zásadně změnit způsob, jakým lidé přemýšlejí o svých životech, jak si ho plánují a jak ho formují. Chtěl bych jim pomoct pochopit skutečnost, že budoucnost není něco fixního, nýbrž je to něco, co každý den vytvářejí svými činy. Chtěl bych, aby lidé přijali fakt, že si svou budouc nost můžou vytvořit – ale pouze za předpokladu, že budou ochotní se na tomto procesu aktivně podílet. Pokaždé, když se poprvé setkám s někým, kdo má starost o svou budoucnost, mluvím o třech verzích vlastního já, které dohromady tvoří naši osobnost: Minulé já, Současné já a Budoucí já. Minulé já představuje vaši zkušenost a vzpo mínky – vaše radosti a smutky, vítězství i porážky, je to souhrn všech zkušeností, které jste kdy nabyli. Budoucí já představuje osobnost, jakou se chcete stát. Je to člověk, jakým byste byli rádi, a je to také někdo, kým být nechcete. A pak je tu vaše Přítomné já. Pro většinu z nás je Přítomné já Minulým já. Svoje životy totiž trávíme v minulosti. Ale co kdybyste toto nastavení ve své hlavě změnili a přeměnili svoje Přítomné já na Budoucí? V tom případě by osoba, jakou chcete být, byla reálnou osobou a přestaly by existovat limity pro tako vou změnu. Tuto knihu jsem napsal, abych vám pomohl uskutečnit právě tohle: změňte na stavení vlastní mysli a přeměňte svoje Přítomné já v tu nejlepší verzi svého Budoucího já. Jsem nadšený, že vám můžu poskytnout všechny nezbytné strategie a nástroje, a že s vámi můžu sdílet příběhy lidí, kteří se naučili využívat svoje Budoucí já. Slibuji vám, že svému Budoucímu já budete rozumět lépe než dosud. Budete nejen schopni vidět sami sebe v takové budoucnosti, ale poznáte, jaké kroky musíte udělat, abyste se tam dostali. Budete svým Budoucím já. A tato cesta začíná právě teď.

Audiokniha: Vaše budoucnost začíná teď. Uznávaný futurista Brian David Johnson tráví už více než čtvrt století tím, že pomáhá vládám, korporacím, školám a dalším organizacím plánovat úspěšné cesty vpřed tím, že jim ukazuje, jak bude svět brzy vypadat. V Budoucnosti pod kontrolou (v orig. The Future You – Budoucí Já, pozn. překladatele)) vám blíže představí svou práci jako aplikovaný futurista a poskytne praktické nástroje, které potřebujete k tomu, abyste si vytvořili budoucnost, jakou jste si vysnili. Audiokniha nabízí jedinečnou kombinaci praktických pokynů, interaktivních cvičení a působivých příběhů ze skutečného života. Vytvořte si budoucnost, jakou jste vždy chtěli. Pokud jste jako většina lidí, pomyšlení na zítřek ve vás vyvolává úzkost. Můžete snít tom, co chcete dělat nebo kde chcete být v příštích několika měsících, letech nebo desetiletích, ale máte strach, protože nevíte, co vás může čekat. Tato obava bohužel ovlivňuje, jak se dnes rozhodujete, a tedy i to, jaká bude vaše budoucnost. Ať už chcete najít svou novou vášeň, změnit svou kariéru nebo styl života, strach drží tolik z nás v zajetí a brání nám podniknout kroky nezbytné k tomu, abychom mohli začít hned. Díky audioknize Budoucnost pod kontrolou už nemusíte jen snít o lepší budoucnosti, můžete své plány, nápady a naděje proměnit ve skutečnost. Kniha je rozdělena do osmi kapitol, které vás provedou stejným procesem futurecastingu, který Brian používá se svými klienty. Jednotlivé kapitoly jsou okořeněné osobními příběhy, jež jsou nejen poutavé, ale ilustrují myšlenky, které Johnson uvádí. V každé z kapitol objevíte i dobře promyšlená rychlá cvičení, která budou užitečná v reálném uvědomění si a plánování budoucnosti, kterou opravdu chcete. Johnson ve své metodě nepoužívá kouzla, ani nespoléhá na křišťálovou kouli. Jeho metoda je založena na vědě. V tomto průkopnickém průvodci, který otevírá oči, zjistíte, že vy jste zodpovědní za vytvoření své budoucnosti a máte moc si ji naplánovat. Prolomte svůj strach a naplánujte si budoucnost svých snů. Z audioknihy: “Pro mnohé lidi je budoucnost něčím, co je v současnosti nepoznatelné a také nekoncepčně řízené. Připomíná mi to výrok Marka Twaina: „Pokud jde o svět, problém není v tom, že lidé o něm mnoho nevědí, ale spíše v tom, že vědí mnoho věcí, které nejsou pravdivé.“ Pokud chcete ovládat svou budoucnost, musíte se oprostit od dlouho tradovaných bludů. A přesně sem společně zamíříme.” “Poznání tajemství budoucnosti tedy spočívá v pochopení toho, co nás čeká, a přijetí faktu, že svou vlastní budoucnost můžeme formovat. A protože není mnoho dalších věcí, které by nám měly dělat starost, budoucnost se už pak nejeví jako něco drtivého.”

A powerful new theory of human nature suggests that our secret to success as a species is our unique friendliness"Brilliant, eye-opening, and absolutely inspiring--and a riveting read. Hare and Woods have written the perfect book for our time."--Cass R. Sunstein, author of How Change Happens and co-author of NudgeFor most of the approximately 300,000 years that Homo sapiens have existed, we have shared the planet with at least four other types of humans. All of these were smart, strong, and inventive. But around 50,000 years ago, Homo sapiens made a cognitive leap that gave us an edge over other species. What happened?Since Charles Darwin wrote about "evolutionary fitness," the idea of fitness has been confused with physical strength, tactical brilliance, and aggression. In fact, what made us evolutionarily fit was a remarkable kind of friendliness, a virtuosic ability to coordinate and communicate with others that allowed us to achieve all the cultural and technical marvels in human history. Advancing what they call the "self-domestication theory," Brian Hare, professor in the department of evolutionary anthropology and the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University and his wife, Vanessa Woods, a research scientist and award-winning journalist, shed light on the mysterious leap in human cognition that allowed Homo sapiens to thrive.But this gift for friendliness came at a cost. Just as a mother bear is most dangerous around her cubs, we are at our most dangerous when someone we love is threatened by an "outsider." The threatening outsider is demoted to sub-human, fair game for our worst instincts. Hare's groundbreaking research, developed in close coordination with Richard Wrangham and Michael Tomasello, giants in the field of cognitive evolution, reveals that the same traits that make us the most tolerant species on the planet also make us the cruelest.Survival of the Friendliest offers us a new way to look at our cultural as well as cognitive evolution and sends a clear message: In order to survive and even to flourish, we need to expand our definition of who belongs.

Described by the Sunday Times as 'a fascinating revelation of an adventurous and protean spirit’, this biography is the inspiration behind the 2024 film Lee, starring Kate Winslet as Lee Miller. Beautiful, bewitching and an exceptionally good photographer, Lee Miller was one of life’s adventurers. She became a Vogue cover girl in 1920s New York before embracing Paris, photography and Surrealism, and then dramatically changed her life yet again, reinventing herself as a war correspondent, notably covering the liberation of Dachau. These are but three of the many lives of Lee Miller, intimately recorded here by her son, Antony Penrose. Featuring a selection of Miller’s finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning and Ernst, Penrose’s tribute to his mother brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume. J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father’s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book’s content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Númenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Númenóreans’ power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien’s magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form. Now, adhering to the timeline of ‘The Tale of Years’ in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts, with new pencil illustrations by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee. J.R.R. Tolkien's book 'The Fall of Númenor' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 07-11-2022.

Veronica is late, and Julian is increasingly convinced she won't ever come home. To pass the time, he improvises a story about trees to coax his stepdaughter, Daniela, to sleep. He has made a life as a literature professor, developing a novel about a man tending to a bonsai tree on the weekends. He is a narrator, an architect, a chronicler of other people's stories. But as the night stretches on before him, and the hours pass with no sign of Veronica, Julian finds himself caught up in the slipstream of the story of his life - of their lives together. What combination of desire and coincidence led them here, to this very night? What will the future - and possibly motherless - Daniela think of him and his stories? Why tell stories at all?

A revisionist, completely accessible and radically inclusive history of maths'Lively, satisfying, good at explaining difficult concepts' The Sunday TimesMathematics shapes almost everything we do. But despite its reputation as the study of fundamental truths, the stories we have been told about it are wrong. In The Secret Lives of Numbers, historian Kate Kitagawa and journalist Timothy Revell introduce readers to the mathematical boundary-smashers who have been erased by history because of their race, gender or nationality.From the brilliant Arabic scholars of the ninth-century House of Wisdom, and the pioneering African American mathematicians of the twentieth century, to the 'lady computers' around the world who revolutionised our knowledge of the night sky, we meet these fascinating trailblazers and see how they contributed to our global knowledge today.Along the way, the mathematics itself is explained extremely clearly, for example, calculus is described using the authors' home baking, as they pose the question: how much cake is in our cake? This revisionist, completely accessible and radically inclusive history of mathematics is as entertaining as it is important.

For millennia, Stoicism has been the ancient philosophy that attracts those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. And no wonder: its embrace of self-mastery, virtue and indifference to that which we cannot control has much to offer those grappling with today's chaotic world. But who were the Stoics? In this book, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman offer a fresh approach to understanding Stoicism through the lives of the people who practiced it - from Cicero to Zeno, Cato to Seneca, Diogenes to Marcus Aurelius.Through short biographies of all the famous, and lesser-known, Stoics, this book will show what it means to live stoically, and reveal the lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. The result is a treasure trove of insights for anyone in search of living a good life.

Based on over eighty hours of interviews with Lovelock and unprecedented access to his personal papers and scientific archive, Jonathan Watts has written a definitive and revelatory biography of a fascinating, sometimes contradictory man.James Lovelock is best known as the father of Gaia Theory, the idea that life on Earth is a self-sustaining system in which organisms interact with their environments to maintain a habitable ecosystem.Lovelock''s life was a chronicle of twentieth-century science, and somehow he seemed to have a hand in much of it. During the Second World War he worked at the National Medical Research Institute, where his life-long interest in chemical tracing began. In the 1960s he worked at NASA. He worked for MI5 and MI6 during the Cold War. He was a science advisor to the oil giant Shell, who he warned as early as 1966 that fossil fuels were causing serious harm to the environment. He invented the technology that found the hole in the Ozone layer. And all of this shaped Gaia Theory - a theory that could not have been developed without the collaboration of two important women in his life. Drawing together the many influences which shaped his life and thinking, The Many Lives of James Lovelock is a unique biography of one of the most fascinating scientists of the modern age.
