who do you think you are alice munroova

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Previously published as 'The Beggar Maid' Born into the back streets of a small Canadian town, Rose battled incessantly with her practical and shrewd stepmother, Flo, who cowed her with tales of her own past and warnings of the dangerous world outside. But Rose was ambitious - she won a scholarship and left for Toronto where she married Patrick. She was his Beggar Maid, 'meek and voluptuous, with her shy white feet', and he was her knight, content to sit and adore her. Alice Munro's wonderful collection of stories reads like a novel, following Rose's life as she moves away from her impoverished roots and forges her own path in the world.

You are who you are today because of a million tiny moments. It''s hard to say which moments are responsible for your tendency to cancel plans, what initiated a weird habit or why your go-to comfort food as a kid was a ketchup-and-mustard sandwich, but sometimes you only need to spend a little time reflecting in order to unearth these connections between past and present.In this illustrated journal, artist, Siobhan Gallagher, will jog your memory and encourage self-reflection with fun and engaging prompts, such as:·What is something (or someone) you can''t believe you ever liked?·In the museum of your life, what moment was so important that it would need to be represented by a life-sized diorama?·If you could bottle up your childhood, what would it smell like? (Chocolate-scented marker pens? Grandma''s house?)·Draw and label all the things you''ve lost that you wish you''d found.With plenty of room to write and reflect, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? will help you examine your past to understand the unique and fascinating timeline that made you into the person you are today.

Capturing the essence of history’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 – 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 don’t bake the world.In explaining how economic thinking is indispensable to tackling these huge problems, this book is a sure-footed guide, spanning Aristotle’s ideas about restraining consumption, Adam Smith’s thinking about the importance of moral character for sustained economic development, and Esther Duflo’s ongoing work to help the world’s poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty. It shows how the greatest economic thinkers – Karl Marx, Maynard Keynes, and Friedrich Hayek, among many others – 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 – 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.

Renowned psychologist and bestselling author of The Dance of Anger sheds new light on the two most important words in the English language, "I'm sorry," and offers a unique perspective on the challenge of healing broken relationships and restoring trust. Dr. Harriet Lerner has been studying apologies for more than two decades, namely, why some people won't give them. Now she offers compelling stories and solid theory that demonstrates the transformative power of making amends and what is required for healing when the damage we've inflicted (or received) is far from simple. Readers will learn how to craft a meaningful apology and avoid signals of insincerity that only deepen suffering. In Why Won't You Apologize? Lerner challenges the popular notion that forgiveness is the only path to peace of mind and helps those who have been injured to resist pressure to forgive too easily. She explains what drives both the non-apologizer and the over-apologizer, and why the people who do the worst things are the least able to own their misdeeds. With her trademark humour and wit, Lerner offers a joyful and sanity-saving guide to setting things right.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, comes a breath taking novel about modern marriage, the depth of family ties, and the year that one remarkable heroine spends exploring both. When Lauren and Ryan's marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren's ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It's about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you've got. And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old game-and searching for a new road to happily ever after.

So you think you’re self-aware? Think again! Most leaders believe themselves to be self-aware. But what does ‘self-awareness’ really mean? How is it different from self-knowledge or self-consciousness? Being self-aware starts with understanding what self-awareness is, so that’s where this book begins. It then goes on to explore why developing self-awareness is the route to developing deeper self-acceptance and self-connection, so that you can start to de-latch your self-worth and ego from outcomes, meaning that you become able to lead more powerfully through uncertainty. Leaders are increasingly facing ‘wicked problems’ in this VUCA world so this book is primarily written for them; it is also highly relevant for coaches supporting those leaders and for anyone who wants to develop self-awareness more effectively. The writing is underpinned and inspired by Julia Carden’s doctoral research into self-awareness and its role in the development of executive coaches, and includes questions and exercises for self-reflection to develop self-awareness at every step.

Osm nových povídek přední kanadské prozaičky se důvěrně známým, a přece pokaždé fascinujícím způsobem věnuje především tématu lásky a vášně a s nimi spojených radostných i tragických životních zvratů. Mladé protagonistce titulní prózy, toužící opustit panovačného manžela, ale nakonec neschopné učinit osudový životní krok, nezkušené venkovské dívce vstupující do světa dospělých a zasažené poznáním mezí milostného citu i dalším autorčiným hrdinkám je souzeno zakusit nejen sílu milenecké či rodičovské lásky, ale také bolest, jakou její důsledky dokážou způsobit jejich blízkým i jim samotným. Tak jako v předchozích dvou knihách, i v nové sbírce nepřestává Munroová uchvacovat schopností citlivě vylíčit složitý vnitřní svět svých hrdinek a jejich příběhy, jež svou živostí tolik připomínají naše vlastní osudy.

Každá povídka Alice Munroové je jako rozlehlé sídlo s mnoha místnostmi. A každý pokoj tohoto sídla je dokonale zařízený nábytkem a prodchnutý osobností tamních obyvatel. Je tu žena, která se po milování pohádá se svým milencem, a najednou se ocitá na hraně okamžiku, který pro vztah může znamenat absolutní konec, anebo jen začátek další etapy. Je tu dívka, která kvůli nehezké tváři a postavě platí chlapcům, aby se s ní vyspali, což se rychle obrátí proti ní, když ji začnou vydírat. Je tu vdova, která přijíždí na skotskou vrchovinu, a zjišťuje, že její manžel byl možná někým docela jiným, než si celý život myslela. Možná. To slovo je v tvorbě držitelky Nobelovy ceny Alice Munroové podstatné, její příběhy nejsou jednoznačné. Jsou plné náznaků, nedořečených věcí a tutlaných tajemství. Náhody, nečekaná setkání i všední události se v jejím nesentimentálním podání proměňují v tajemné komnaty lidských osudů.
