Velká láska malých rozměrů - Colin Falconer
Diego Vasquez byl obdařen úžasným talentem a jeho obrazy zdobí sevillské kostely, do vínku však dostal také groteskně malé tělo, které mu přináší mnoho trápení a posměchu. Když ho okouzlí překrásná Mencia, raději to nepřizná ani svému jedinému příteli (a snad ani sám sobě), a smutek a beznaděj skrývá za hradbou ironie a cynismu. Dáma má ale vlastní hlavu a vlastní plány – a k těm patří i to, že by se ráda učila malovat od skutečného mistra. Jejich setkáním začíná příběh lásky a nenávisti, přátelství a zrady, závisti, uražené pýchy a pomsty, který se odehrává na sklonku reconquisty a zavede nás do sevillských krčem a kostelů, do kobek inkvizice, ale i do emírova paláce v Granadě a jeho harému. Dostane nakonec tahle nesourodá dvojice vůbec šanci být spolu?

In her hit US debut, Dana Czapnik memorably captures the voice of a young woman in the first flush of freedom searching for an authentic way to live and love.

How Can We Know We`ll Go to Heaven? (Pack of 25) - Randy Alcorn
HOW CAN WE KNOW WE’LL GO TO HEAVEN? A recent poll indicated that for every American who believes he or she is going to hell, there are 120 who believe they’re going to heaven. This optimism stands in stark contrast to Jesus Christ’s words written in the Bible: “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few” (Matthew 7:13–14). The truth is that according to the Bible we don’t automatically go to heaven. In fact, hell―not heaven―is our default destination. Unless our sin problem is solved once and for all, we can’t enter heaven. That’s the bad news. But once that’s straight in our minds we’re ready to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. Jesus took upon himself, on the cross, the hell we deserve so that we could experience for eternity the heaven we don’t deserve! THE ONLY TWO OPTIONS There are two possible destinations when we die: heaven or hell. Can we really know in advance where we’ll go? John, one of the writers of the Bible, said this: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). We can know for sure that we’ll go to heaven when we die. Do you? To sin means to fall short of God’s holy standards. Sin is what ended paradise in the Garden of Eden. And all of us, like Adam and Eve, are sinners. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Sin separates us from a relationship with God (Isaiah 59:2) and it deceives us and makes us think that wrong is right and right is wrong (Proverbs 14:12). Sin has terrible consequences, but God has provided a solution: “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, loved us so much that he left the riches of heaven to become a man and deliver us from our sin. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). He came to identify with us in our humanity and our weakness, but he did so without being tainted by our sin, self-deception, and moral failings (Hebrews 4:15–16). Jesus died on the cross as the only one worthy to pay the penalty for our sins demanded by the holiness of God: “For our sake he [God] made him [Jesus] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). But in victory over death, God raised Jesus from the grave, defeating the consequences of sin (1 Corinthians 15:3–4, 54–57). When Christ died on the cross for us, he said, “It is finished” (John 19:30). In those times “It is finished” was commonly written across certificates of debt when they were canceled. It meant “Paid in full.” Christ died so that the certificate of debt consisting of all our sins could once and for all be marked “Paid in full.” THE CRITICAL DECISION Only when our sins are dealt with in Christ can we enter heaven. We cannot pay our own way. Jesus said, “No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Because of Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross on our behalf, God freely offers us forgiveness. To be forgiven, we must recognize and repent of our sins. Forgiveness is not automatic. It’s conditioned upon confession: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Christ offers to everyone the gifts of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. “Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price” (Revelation 22:17). There’s no righteous deed we can do that will earn us a place in heaven (Titus 3:5). We come to Christ empty-handed. We can take no credit for salvation. “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9). This gift cannot be worked for, earned, or achieved. It’s dependent solely on Christ’s generous sacrifice on our behalf. Now is the time to make things right with God. Confess your sinfulness and accept the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on your behalf. You are made for a person and a place. Jesus is the person, and heaven is the place. They are a package― they come together. You cannot get heaven without Jesus or Jesus without heaven. “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near” (Isaiah 55:6). For all eternity you’ll be glad you did. If you understand what God has done to make forgiveness and eternal life possible for you, you may want to express it in words like these: “Dear Lord, I confess that I do not measure up to your perfec

How to Quit Golf (and Get Your Life Back) - Danny Cahill
Do you need to quit golf? Take a short quiz! 1. Do you show your golf scorecards to, well, uh . . . anyone? 2. At dinner, do you find yourself practicing your grip on your utensils? (The Vs of the fork’s first tine, for the righthander, should point to the right shoulder.) 3. Look above you. Are there marks on the ceilings of your house because you can’t help but try to “bust one” even when you’re indoors and there is no ball? 4. Have you taken to reflexively calling your children “pards?” 5. Do other golf aphorisms make their way into your personal life? (Examples include finding your lost car keys and with a shrug saying, “Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again,” or feeding your actual dog and exhorting, “Time to let the big dog eat!”) 6. Does your dry cleaner, never having seen your swing but processing your bill, assume you are a golf pro? 7. Do you think of all spatial relationships in the real world in terms of golfing distance? (When parking at the mall and your wife suggests you are too far away, do you say, “What? It’s like a stock gap wedge to Panera from here.” When she disagrees, do you break out the Bushnell and shoot the store’s signage?)If you answered “Yes” to any of the above, you really, really need to quit golf. Danny Cahill will make you laugh and nod with recognition in his latest book (part social satire/ commentary; part clever psychological study) about the game of golf and its intoxicating hold on those who love it. A likeable middle-aged golfer (coping with the thought that everything is in decline at this time of life) has crossed over from healthy hobby to unmanageable obsession. He knows he should quit spending so much time working on his golf game. He knows his life at home is unraveling. But fully aware of just how much the game is laying waste to his powers, he nevertheless continues to count the hours to his next tee time. Cahill’s comic treatment of middle-age reckoning told through the lens of an obsessed golfer also takes a deep dive into the sport''s eco system and its inherent appeal (and silliness?). Cahill’s acute powers of observation will impress as he unravels golf’s ability to entice like no other endeavor—and how to ultimately let go and preserve what matters. Any serious golfer will see themselves in Cahill’s hero—they''ve thought his thoughts, shared his fears, and dealt with the effects on their family. The book will make golfers laugh, but also feel completely understood. The book explores the human need to find something that can still be improved, and through the prism of golf, examines the innate futility in trying to find meaning in a game that is, like the protagonist''s life, both impossible to master and intermittently filled with joy and sorrow. Danny Cahill is the last guy to talk to about work-life balance. As a headhunter, he has built Hobson Associates into one of the country’s largest privately held search firms. His coaching and training company, according to Danny, is the largest in the staffing industry. His motivational speaking and career coaching earned him the industry’s highest honor, the NAPS Lifetime Achievement award. In his writing life, as a playwright, he has had works produced off Broadway and won both the Maxwell Anderson and CAB theatre awards. He is the author of the popular memoir, Aging Disgracefully, and Harper’s Rules, which won an Axiom award. He attributes his success, fledgling as it is, to a systematic, consistent, and disciplined . . . neglect of loved ones.

Tap into the cosmic nature of your soul, discover your purpose and commit to being here on Earth.

This is a book for those who at times feel misplaced in the world; those who have always felt a remembering of some other place without quite knowing what that place really is. As a planet, we are waking up to the fact that the ancient prophecies and warnings from the elders and wise ones are no longer predictions, but our waking reality. They are not just coming or even near... we are living them right now. What we do now matters to the future of this planet. And we all have a role to play. Some Letters to a Starseed chapter titles include:· Who Are We and Where Did We Come From? · The Moment of Your Birth· What is a Starseed?· Ancient Stars in Our Bones· Reaching Back to the Ancients· Here We Are· Returning· The Longing for Home· I Remember· Why Did You Come Here?· There Must Be More Than This· Why Did You Choose to Come?· We All Have a Role to Play, But Only We Know What · Our Role Is· There You Are· I Have Music in My Heart· Finding Our Ground· Starseed Roles· Plant Yourself Here · How to Feel More at Home on Earth· The Challenge of Being Human· Incarnation· The Original Severing· Plant Yourself Here We are living in a time between myths and stories, and are currently re-weaving the fabric of life on Earth. Throughout this book, Rebecca shares insights and experiences illuminating the connection between our souls, the Earth and the cosmos, to encourage you to commit fully to your incarnation, embrace your human experience and plant yourself here.“Throughout the book you’ll find two prompts, which will support you on your journey as you read.In many chapters, you’ll find Soul Inquiry prompts that will help you hear the calls of your soul as you journey through the book. In some chapters, you’ll also find activations. These are here to support you in activating and integrating energies and healing within you, from your soul to your cells. My hope for this book is that it supports, comforts, and inspires you to remember who you truly are and why you chose to be here at this pivotal moment in the story of humanity. To commit fully to being here and being present to your life on Earth at this time. To encourage you to play the note that you came here to play, without waver. Do you remember why you’ve come?†Love, Rebecca x

How to Talk with Anyone about Anything - Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D., Harville Hendrix
Now available in trade paper!Relationships everywhere are in crisis due to our inability to talk about "difference" without polarizing. Since objection to difference is the core human problem, we need a skill that helps us connect beyond difference. That''s just what New York Times bestselling authors Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt offer in their new book: How To Talk With Anyone About Anything. They call it the Safe Conversations Dialogue process, which everyone can learn and teach, that moves all relationships from danger to safety, making connecting possible.For centuries, most of us humans have talked to others in monologues, believing that the world is the way we see it, that what we say about it is the "truth" and we have assumed that everyone sees it "our" way. If they do not, we experience tension and conflict on many levels. On the other hand, few of us have ever listened to others while they are talking and tried to see the world from their point of view while retaining our own perspective. Instead of listening to understand and collaborate about our differences, we tend to replace their perspective with our own. This results in polarization, not only in our personal lives and work environments, but also in the political and religious arenas we inhabit. This has led to anxiety, frustration, anger, violence, and war. Clearly, the world needs a new way to talk that transcends difference and leads to collaboration, co-creation, and cooperation.Getting the Love You Want, teach that the practice of Safe Conversations Dialogue impacts the "physics of the Space Between." Here is what they mean:All of us live in and are a part of an energy field in which everything everywhere is connecting with everything everywhere. This energy field occupies the Space-Between us.When there is safety in the energy field that occupies the Space-Between us, we can connect.When there is anxiety in the Space Between, we defend ourselves. We cannot connect but tend to polarize.Anyone, if they decide to, can restore safety in the Space Between by using a structure conversation skill called the Safe Conversations Dialogue. In How to Talk with Anyone about Anything, Harville and Helen share the wisdom of the Safe Conversations process and the four structured and teachable skills that create safety and connection:Dialogue: Dialogue is two or more people taking turns talking and listening. Monologue is one person talking and expecting everyone else to listen. When two or more people shift from Monologue to Dialogue, they can transform any relationship from conflict to safety, connection and collaboration.Zero Negativity: Negativity disrupts safety and is non-negotiable for safe and thriving relationships. When Dialogue is practiced with Zero Negativity, criticism about what one does not have is replaced with a positive request for what one wants. This transforms conflict into safety and connecting.Empathy: Empathy is the capacity to experience or imagine how another person has gone through life. When Dialogue is practiced with empathy, one can more easily accept the different perspective of another person and maintain one''s own perspective without polarizing.Affirmation: Affirmation is valuing another person because they exist rather than for what they have done for you. When Dialogue includes affirmation, the other person experiences themselves as human rather than as an "object" that is valued because of what they do. How to Talk with Anyone about Anything offers the keys to unlocking your ability to connect with others in a new and profoundly different way. And, as more of us hone that ability, together, we can bring about a fundamental shift in society away from our current focus on the "self" and polarization about difference towards safety and true connection that includes total personal freedom, universal equality, radical inclusion, and celebration of diversity—a society in which we all collaborate with each other without surrendering our differences, co-create with each other about new solutions and cooperate with other to put them into practice. Then we will all live in the world of our dreams.

Lea Blumenthalová Udělej to jako racek. Vy... se na to! Provedení: Tištěná kniha
Nahlédněte do knihy Zatněte tipec závislosti na harmonii! Nesnášíte konflikty a je pro vás těžké s někým nesouhlasit či vyjádřit svůj názor? Nejspíš v hloubi duše jen toužíte být oblíbení a nechcete upadnout v nemilost. Všechno to vyhýbání se hádkám a nedostatek smířlivosti ale škodí zdraví, způsobuje poruchy spánku, bolesti hlavy a celkovou nevolnost. Odmítání vstupovat do jakýchkoli konfliktů a neschopnost říct ne by se daly vykládat jako závislost na harmonii – což může být problém. Ten, kdo je příliš přívětivý, se často dostává na druhou kolej a nevytváří prostor pro vlastní potřeby . A to je z dlouhodobého hlediska vyčerpávající. V určitém okamžiku člověk pod takovým tlakem exploduje nebo se zhroutí. S pomocí psychologických rad a cvičení mohou i ti největší odmítači konfliktů udělat krok k sebevědomému nastavení mysli, kdy výměnu názorů začnou vnímat ne jako hrozbu, ale jako příležitost. Protože věřit, že mlčením se problémy vyřeší, je jako zakrývat si oči ve snaze stát se neviditelným. Nedokážu si představit, že tam venku opravdu existují lidé, kteří se rádi hádají. Kteří se ráno podívají do zrcadla a spatří nepřátelský obličej, jejž o hodinu později ukazují světu v úplně stejném stavu, a je jim úplně jedno, jestli se někomu líbí, nebo ne. Kdo by něco takového chtěl? Já ne. Chci být oblíbená. A dívat se na své okolí s vlídností. Chci reagovat klidně a vyrovnaně a procházet světem s úsměvem. Harmonie jako trvalý stav – přesně takhle si to představuju. Přesto jsou chvíle, kdy se mi z mého nezměrného nutkání vyhýbat se hádkám a neshodám chce prostě zvracet. Rozčiluje mě, že se dávám na ústup , místo abych stála široce rozkročená s rukama v bok jako Wonder Woman. Především mě unavuje, že se nechovám hezky proto, že bych chtěla, ale protože to neumím jinak. Pak se totiž hned ocitnu v dalším konfliktu. - A TO SAMA SE SEBOU. Proč si tuto knihu přečíst Autorka Lea nás uvádí do jejího velkého problému – je příliš milá, vyhýbá se konfliktům a neumí říkat ne. To ostatně demonstruje hned v úvodu knížky při setkání s nepříjemnou sousedkou. Kniha je vyprávěna velmi zábavnou formou, kdy autorka zařazuje všechny důležité psychologické principy do děje svého každodenního života . Můžeme se tak dozvědět o jejím příteli Borisi, který se nebojí dát najevo svůj názor a o tom, jak svou rozdílnost v přistupování ke konfliktům společně řeší . Na svém problému začíná autorka v průběhu knihy spolupracovat se svou kamarádkou Tinou, která je zároveň psycholožka. Postupně si tak začne stále více uvědomovat svou tendenci vyhýbat se konfliktům a hlavně potíže, které ji to přináší . V knize na vás čekají další zajímavosti. Můžete si zkusit udělat osobnostní test , který vám pomůže zjistit, jak moc potřebujete harmonii. Dozvíte se také na jaké tři typy se lidé dělí podle toho, jak reagují na konflikty a jak se od těchto reakcí oprostit. Součástí je i návod na cvičení všímavosti, nenásilnou komunikaci a na to, jak trénovat schopnost zvládat konflikty. Co o knize říkají čtenáři Tato kniha mě doslova pohltila a nadchla. Její název (Udělej to jako racek) mě zaujal a původně jsem chtěla jen nahlédnout do prvních stránek, ale nakonec jsem se do knihy úplně ponořila. Lea Blumenthal napsala fascinujícího průvodce, který se pohybuje na pomezí psychologie a zábavy. Lesia Shuranova Jsou lidé, kteří (zřejmě) ze zdvořilosti svůj asertivní postoj vůči čemukoli negativnímu dát neumějí, anebo by i třeba chtěli, ale netuší, jakou správnou cestu zvolit. A přesně pro ně poslouží tato publikace plná návodných příběhů, které ukáží, co dělat s mrzkým kolegou v práci nebo pomlouvačnou sousedkou za plotem domu. Denisa Šimíčková Čtivé, lehké a zábavné zároveň. Velmi se mi líbil postup a popis, jak autorka přemýšlí, odhalení různých úskalí nově zjištěných dovednosti. Prakticky návod na změnu. Lenka Š. Super odpočinkové, no zároveň motivačné, už sa na ňu pýtali aj kámošky, keď som spomenula, čo práve čítam pri mori v príbehu na sociálnej sieti. Zamyslieť sa nad touto oblasťou, bolo pre môj osobný rozvoj veľmi potrebné pred návratom z dovolenky späť do práce.

How to Change: The Science of Self-Improvement (0593332598)
Kniha - autor Katy Milkman, 272 stran, anglicky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Set audacious goals. Foster good habits. Create social support. You’ve surely heard this advice before. If you’ve ever tried to change — to boost exercise or healthy eating, to prevent missed deadlines or kick-start savings — then you know there are thousands of apps, books, and YouTube videos promising guidance. And yet, you’re still not where you want to be. This trailblazing book explains why. Milkman discovered a crucial thing many of us get wrong: our strategy. Change comes when you understand what’s standing between you and success and tailor your solution to that roadblock. Through engaging stories and examples from Milkman’s cutting-edge research, this book illustrates how to identify and overcome the barriers that regularly stand in the way of change.
