Think Like a Breadwinner - Barrett Jennifer
A new kind of manifesto for the working woman, with practical guidance on building wealth as well as inspiration for harnessing the freedom and power that comes from a breadwinning mindset.Women are now the main breadwinner in one-in-four households in the UK. Yet the majority of women still aren t being brought up to think like breadwinners. In fact, they re actively discouraged â “ by institutional bias and subconscious beliefs â “ from building their own wealth, pursuing their full earning potential, and providing for themselves and others financially. The result is that women earn less, owe more, and have significantly less money saved and invested for the future than men do. And if women do end up as the main breadwinner, they ve been conditioned to feel reluctant and unprepared to manage the role.In Think Like a Breadwinner, financial expert Jennifer Barrett reframes what it really means to be a breadwinner by dismantling the narrative that women don t â “ and shouldn t â “ take full financial responsibility to create the lives they want. Featuring a wide variety of case studies from women at all stages of their careers and financial lives, Barrett shares the secrets of women who already think like breadwinners. Barrett reveals not only the importance of women building their own wealth, but also the freedom and power that comes with it.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his résumé, he moved back home in north London with his parents. Shetty reconnected with old school friends—many working for some of the world’s largest corporations—who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast.

Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world.

Think Like A Decorator - Alexa Hampton, Leslie Banker
A reassuring, idea-filled guide to decorating by interior designer Leslie Banker, enriched by advice and contributions from other prominent decorators.Interior designer Leslie Banker grew up learning the trade by her decorator mother’s side. The most important thing her mother taught her was that thinking like a decorator means focusing on developing the story of the space and its inhabitants. That story is what gives a place style, depth, character, and its own unique look, as well as—most importantly—makes the people who live there happy. Think Like a Decorator shows readers how to do just that.Banker teaches readers how to drill down and articulate what appeals to them. She explains how to drop anchors for the project, whether it’s a favorite paint color or an inherited family piece, and what is essential to living comfortably in a home (hint: enough chairs at the dinner table). Banker also covers how to identify what is not working currently (the pile of backpacks that grows at the end of each day in that neglected corner) and how to solve the inevitable issues that will arise (the paint color that turned garish on the wall).Witty and entertaining, with Q and As from noted designers including Alexa Hampton, Tom Scheerer, Amanda Nisbet, Katie Ridder, and Christopher Spitzmiller, Think Like a Decorator is, ultimately, about how to live happily and well at home.

How to Think Like a Woman - Regan Penaluna
As a young woman growing up in a small, religious community, Regan Penaluna daydreamed about the big questions: Who are we and what is this strange world we find ourselves in? In college she discovered philosophy and fell in love with its rationality, its abstractions, its beauty.What Penaluna didn t realize was that philosophy - at least the canon that s taught in Western universities, as well as the culture that surrounds it - would slowly grind her down through its devaluation of women and their minds. Women were nowhere in her curriculum, and feminist philosophy was dismissed as marginal, unserious.Until Penaluna came across the work of a seventeenth-century woman named Damaris Cudworth Masham. Reading Masham s work was like reaching through time: writing three hundred years ago, Masham was speaking directly to her about knowledge and God, but also the condition of women. Her work eventually led Penaluna to other remarkable women philosophers of the era: Mary Astell, Catharine Cockburn and Mary Wollstonecraft.Together these women rekindled Penaluna s love of philosophy and taught her how to live a truly philosophical life. She combines memoir with biography to tell the stories of these four women, weaving throughout an alternative history of philosophy as well as her own search for beauty and truth. Formally inventive and keenly intelligent, How to Think Like a Woman is a moving meditation on what philosophy could look like if women were treated equally.

How to Think Like an Economist - Robbie Mochrie
Capturing the essence of historyâ ™s most influential economists in enjoyable and illuminating biographical sketches, this book shows how the great economic thinkers are still relevant today.We live in the economy â “ and we are part of it. Living through a pandemic, governments had to work out how to put economies into a deep freeze without destroying them. Avoiding climate catastrophe means changing economies so that they donâ ™t bake the world.In explaining how economic thinking is indispensable to tackling these huge problems, this book is a sure-footed guide, spanning Aristotleâ ™s ideas about restraining consumption, Adam Smithâ ™s thinking about the importance of moral character for sustained economic development, and Esther Dufloâ ™s ongoing work to help the worldâ ™s poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty. It shows how the greatest economic thinkers â “ Karl Marx, Maynard Keynes, and Friedrich Hayek, among many others â “ have enabled us to see the world differently, and how we can make it better.It shows that economic thinking emerged, long before there were economists â “ and that good economics is about much more than the economy, so everyone should understand these vital ideas.Along the way, the book quietly subverts what you think you know about economics, especially by showing how women found a place in the development of ideas even when discrimination denied them any formal role.

Balancing Coupling in Software Design - Vlad Khononov
Learn How Coupling Impacts Every Software Design Decision You Make--and How to Control It If you want to build modular, evolvable, and resilient software systems, you have to get coupling right. Every design decision you make influences coupling, which in turn shapes the design options available to you. Despite its importance, coupling often doesn t receive the attention it deserves--until now. Since the dawn of software engineering, it s been clear that proper management of coupling is essential for architecting modular software systems. This topic has been extensively researched over the years, but some of that knowledge has been forgotten, and some of it is challenging to apply in this day and age. In Balancing Coupling in Software Design, author Vlad Khononov has built a model that not only draws on this accumulated knowledge, but also adapts it to modern software engineering practices, offering a fresh perspective on modular software design. With principles grounded in practice, Vlad teaches you not only to navigate the multi-dimensional nature of coupling but also to use coupling as a tool for managing complexity and increasing modularity. And who knows, maybe this book will change the way you think about software design as whole. Defines the concept of coupling and the role it plays in system design and architecture Explains how coupling can both increase complexity and foster modularity of a system Introduces a holistic model that turns coupling into a tool for designing modular software Shows how to evolve design decisions to support continuous growth of software systems Illustrates the discussed principles with detailed examples based on real-life case studies Coupling is one of those words that is used a lot, but little understood. Vlad propels us from simplistic slogans like always decouple components to a nuanced discussion of coupling in the context of complexity and software evolution. If you build modern software, read this book! --Gregor Hohpe, author of The Software Architect Elevator Register your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.

Think Like a Stoic - Ken Mogi
The Japanese perspective that made The Little Book of Ikigai a worldwide bestseller meets the wisdom of the ancients. The result is a new version of stoicism that is practical, global, future-proof and, above all, optimistic. In a world overflowing with abundance and information, the calm and clarity of stoicism has never been more necessary. In this new book, bestselling author Ken Mogi explores the ancient Greek philosophy as well as its resonance with other cultures around the world, not least his own Japanese perspective. With his expertise as a neuroscientist, Mogi uncovers the cognitive foundations of the resilience that is so central to stoicism. Rooted in science, he finds in stoicism robust coping strategies for the challenges of modern life, and ways to balance self-discipline with enjoying life #39;s pleasures. But stoicism is also a mindset that uniquely equips us to handle the future, from global challenges such as the climate emergency to the rise and rise of AI. Thinking like a stoic, he argues, can offer us not just a path for personal growth and wisdom, but the key to the future of humanity.

Bystřejší mozek - Gupta Sanjay - audiokniha
Audiokniha: „Tuto knihu potřebujeme všichni – mladí i staří.“ – Walter Isaacson O knize Zahoďte představu, že stáří znamená úpadek intelektu. Věda přináší dobré zprávy! Mozek si můžeme zlepšovat v každém věku: posilovat neuronové sítě, stimulovat růst nových mozkových buněk i odvracet degenerativní onemocnění. Je jen na nás, jak robustní kognitivní rezervu si vytvoříme. A nejlepší bude začít s tím hned. Sanjay Gupta vyvrací mýty o stárnutí a dokazuje, že větší vliv než geny má na osud mozku náš životní styl. Na onemocnění si zakládáme desítky let před prvními příznaky poruch, a proto je zásadní pečovat o mozek pomocí každodenních návyků už od mládí. Gupta přístupně vysvětluje fascinující schopnosti mozku i možné projevy patologií. Doporučuje pro mozek nejlepší dietu a cvičební režim, zkoumá význam společenského života, spánku, odpočinku či hraní videoher. Zjišťuje, co se můžeme naučit od „supermozků“, kterým se blíží devadesátka a nejeví známky zpomalení, nebo zda jsou doplňky stravy a vitaminy skutečně přínosné. Závěr knihy věnuje Alzheimerově chorobě, přičemž pacientům i jejich blízkým nabízí konkrétní návody pro různé fáze nemoci. V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: - Mozek tvoří nanejvýš 2, 5 % tělesné hmotnosti, ale využívá 20% příjmu energie a kyslíku. - Lidé, kteří meditují, mají určité části mozkové kůry silnější – mají lepší paměť a jsou chytřejší. - Mozek začíná zpomalovat asi v pětadvaceti letech, ale určité kognitivní funkce lze zlepšovat bez ohledu na věk. - K rizikovým faktorům Alzheimerovy choroby patří mimo jiné nadměrný tuk v břišní oblasti a zvýšená hladina glukózy v krvi. - Některé druhy paměťových lapsů a roztržitosti jsou běžné a nemusí v nás vzbuzovat paniku. O autorovi Sanjay Gupta (* 1969) je americký neurochirurg, hlavní lékařský zpravodaj CNN a trojnásobný držitel cen Emmy, spisovatel a moderátor podcastu Chasing Life. Působí také na Lékařské fakultě Emoryho univerzity v Atlantě, kde žije s manželkou a třemi dcerami. #Více o knize melvil.cz/kniha-bystrejsi-mozek

Tajemství života - Gupta Gaurí Šankar
Existuje smysl života? - Byl vesmír stvořen? - Je život spravedlivý? - Co dokáže naše mysl? - Kam vede materiální rozvoj? - Jak bojovat s chudobou? - Jak si udržet zdraví? - Jak čelit ekonomickým krizím? - Jak řešit politické spory? - Jak dosáhnout všestranně kvalitního lidského života… Historii naší civilizace odnepaměti provází úsilí odhalit záhady okolního světa, počátků života, lidské existence i vesmíru. S rozvojem exaktních věd a pokročilých technologií člověk dokázal proniknout do nitra hmoty, buněčné struktury živých organismů i k samým hranicím galaxie. Na řadu palčivých otázek nám však moderní věda stále dluží odpověď. Ve snaze o jejich objasnění se indický vzdělanec a intelektuál Gaurí Šankar Gupta obrátil k myšlenkovému dědictví minulosti, k duchovní a myslitelské tradici sahající zhruba tři tisíce let nazpět. Kniha je dokladem toho, jak moderní vzdělaný hinduista vnímá současný globální intelektuální svět a jak ho dokáže propojit s dávnou tradicí, nazírat v jejím světle moderní myšlení skrze některé základní koncepty indického vědeckého, filozofického i náboženského obrazu světa. Nejširší čtenářské obci poskytuje zajímavý a podnětný pohled inspirující k hlubšímu zamyšlení právě vzhledem k oné proměnlivosti indické tradice v čase, která bývá někdy prezentována pouze v její klasické podobě jako uzavřený a neměnný systém. Čeští čtenáři mají navíc jedinečnou možnost seznámit se zde s originálními sanskrtskými texty nejen v dévanágarí (tedy v původním písmu bohů ), ale i v korektním přepisu do latinky. Gaurí Šankar Gupta, indický myslitel a diplomat. Působil jako zastupující člen výkonné rady UNESCO ve Francii a jako velvyslanec v Mongolsku, v Maďarsku a v Bosně a Hercegovině. V současnosti je velvyslancem v Trinidadu a Tobagu. Knižně publikoval: Mongolsko, země pod modrou oblohou (2007), Krůpěje (2008), Pár okamžiků (2010).
