Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves your attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term 'deep work' on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve. Most of us, after all, are excruciatingly familiar with shallow work instead - distractedly skimming the surface of our workload and never getting to the important part. Newport began exploring the methods and mindset that foster a practice of distraction-free productivity at work, and now, in DEEP WORK, he shows how anyone can achieve this elusive state. Through revealing portraits of both historical and modern-day thinkers, academics and leaders in the fields of technology, science and culture, and their deep work habits, Newport shares an inspiring collection of tools to wring every last drop of value out of your intellectual capacity. He explains why mastering this shift in work practices is crucial for anyone who intends to stay ahead in a complex information economy, and how to systematically train the mind to focus. Put simply: developing and cultivating a deep work practice is one of the best decisions we can make in an increasingly distracted world.

A brand-new translation of a philosophical classic of the ancient world, The Teaching of Ptahhatp, written in Egypt 4,000 years ago. The Teaching of Ptahhatp, composed two millennia before the birth of Plato, is the oldest surviving statement of philosophy in the ancient world and the earliest witness to the power of the written word. It ought to begin the list of the world's philosophy classics, yet it has been largely forgotten since it was rediscovered in the nineteenth century.Egyptologist Bill Manley's new translation corrects this oversight, rendering into approachable modern English for the first time Ptahhatp's profound yet practical account of 'the meaning of life', written many centuries before the supposed dawn of western philosophy. Manley introduces Ptahhatp, who served as Vizier to the Old Kingdom pharaoh Izezi (c. 2410-2375 BC), and the world of dynamic ideas and new technologies - writing among them - within which he worked, illuminating the nuances of his language and philosophy.In addition, Manley's new translation of Why Things Happen, the oldest surviving account of creation from anywhere in the world, reveals how Ptahhatp's account of the human condition is founded in distinctive ancient Egyptian beliefs about the nature of truth and reality. Taken together, Manley's new translations and expert commentary provide a new perspective on the Pyramid Age and overturn traditional prejudices about the origins of writing and philosophy. The 'oldest book in the world' is a testament to a common thread that connects humanity across time; Ptahhatp grapples with the pitfalls of greed, ambition, celebrity, success, confrontation, friendship, sex and even the office environment, and his teachings remain remarkably relevant in the modern day.

A major study of how slavery and enslaved people shaped the modern worldFor the best part of four centuries, enslaved Africans were the human cogs in a vast machine which transformed the face of the Americas, enhanced the well-being of the Western world, and created cultural habits we are familiar with today. In A World Transformed, celebrated historian James Walvin presents a comprehensive history of slavery and its shaping of the world we know. It is a global story that ranges from the capitalist economy, labour and the environment to social culture and ideas of family, beauty and taste.Arguing that slavery can be fully understood only by stepping back from traditional national histories, A World Transformed collects the most recent scholarship to illustrate just how thoroughly slavery is responsible for the making of the modern world. The enforced transportation and labour of millions of Africans became a massive social and economic force, promoting the rapid development of multiple new and enormous trading systems which had profound global consequences which reverberate down to the present day. The labour and products of enslaved people changed the consumption habits of millions - in India and Asia, Europe and Africa, in colonised and Indigenous American societies. Across time, slavery shaped many of the dominant features of Western taste: items and habits or rare and costly luxuries, some of which might seem, at first glance, utterly removed from the horrific reality of slavery. A World Transformed traces the global impacts of slavery over centuries, far beyond its legal or historical limits, confirming that the world created by slave labour lives on today.

‘A breakthrough book. Wonderfully applicable to everything in life, and funny as hell.’ Nassim Nicholas TalebWhy is Red Bull so popular – even though everyone hates the taste? Why do countdown boards on platforms take away the pain of train delays? And why do we prefer stripy toothpaste?Discover the alchemy behind original thinking, as TED Talk superstar and Ogilvy advertising legend Rory Sutherland reveals why abandoning logic and casting aside rationality is the best way to solve any problem. In his first book he blends cutting-edge behavioural science, jaw-dropping stories and a touch of branding magic on his mission to turn us all into idea alchemists. He shows how economists, businesses and governments have got it all wrong: we are not rational creatures who make logical decisions based on evidence. Instead, the big problems we face every day, whether as an individual or in society, could very well be solved by thinking less logically. To be brilliant, you have to be irrational.

Quiet by Susan Cain will change how you think about introverts foreverOur lives are driven by a fact that most of us can't name and don't understand. It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we're embarrassed.That fact is whether we're an introvert or an extrovert.The introvert/extrovert divide is the most fundamental dimension of personality. And at least a third of us are on the introverted side. Some of the world's most talented people are introverts. Without them we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers.Yet extroverts have taken over. Shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as being negative. Introverts feel reproached for being the way they are.In Quiet, Susan Cain shows how the brain chemistry of introverts and extroverts differs, and how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts. She gives introverts the tools to better understand themselves and take full advantage of their strengths.

Would our lives, relationships and careers be better if we just STFU for a while? We live in a world that doesn’t just encourage overtalking, but practically demands it. When success is measured by how much attention we can attract, how long we can hold on to the mic, it’s no wonder that we feel compelled to spout endlessly on Twitter, to document every detail of our lives on Instagram, start that podcast, or lead that conference. And yet, oddly enough, the most powerful and accomplished people in the world aren’t part of that chorus―they’re reserved, they listen, and when they do speak they’re considered. Tim Cook, President Obama, the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg all have seemed to understand the secret golden rule: talk less, get more. There are entire industries designed to help us amplify our voices, experts who are just dying to coach us on how to talk better, but nobody is teaching us how to STFU for a while. Former Forbes journalist Dan Lyons takes us on a sharp, funny, fascinating deep dive through our incessant noise-making – talking to communications experts, neuroscientists, psychiatrists and Silicon Valley executive coaches the world over to understand the science and culture behind why we can’t stop talking, and how ultimately we can learn to speak less – and with more intention – to improve our lives.

A New York Times bestselling author and tech columnist's counter-intuitive guide to staying relevant - and employable - in the machine age by becoming irreplaceably human.It's not a future scenario any more. We've been taught that to compete with automation and AI, we'll have to become more like the machines themselves, building up technical skills like coding. But, there's simply no way to keep up. What if all the advice is wrong? And what do we need to do instead to become futureproof?We tend to think of automation as a blue-collar phenomenon that will affect truck drivers, factory workers, and other people with repetitive manual jobs. But it's much, much broader than that. Lawyers are being automated out of existence. Last year, JPMorgan Chase built a piece of software called COIN, which uses machine learning to review complicated contracts and documents. It used to take the firm's lawyers more than 300,000 hours every year to review all of those documents. Now, it takes a few seconds, and requires just one human to run the program. Doctors are being automated out of existence, too. Last summer, a Chinese tech company built a deep learning algorithm that diagnosed brain cancer and other diseases faster and more accurately than a team of 15 top Chinese doctors.Kevin Roose has spent the past few years studying the question of how people, communities, and organisations adapt to periods of change, from the Industrial Revolution to the present. And the insight that is sweeping through Silicon Valley as we speak -- that in an age dominated by machines, it's human skills that really matter - is one of the more profound and counter-intuitive ideas he's discovered. It's the antidote to the doom-and-gloom worries many people feel when they think about AI and automation. And it's something everyone needs to hear.In nine accessible, prescriptive chapters, Roose distills what he has learned about how we will survive the future, that the way to become futureproof is to become incredibly, irreplaceably human.

A compelling argument that the Internet of things threatens human rights and security"Sobering and important."―Financial Times, "Best Books of 2020: Technology" The Internet has leapt from human-facing display screens into the material objects all around us. In this so-called Internet of things―connecting everything from cars to cardiac monitors to home appliances―there is no longer a meaningful distinction between physical and virtual worlds. Everything is connected. The social and economic benefits are tremendous, but there is a downside: an outage in cyberspace can result not only in loss of communication but also potentially in loss of life. Control of this infrastructure has become a proxy for political power, since countries can easily reach across borders to disrupt real-world systems. Laura DeNardis argues that the diffusion of the Internet into the physical world radically escalates governance concerns around privacy, discrimination, human safety, democracy, and national security, and she offers new cyber-policy solutions. In her discussion, she makes visible the sinews of power already embedded in our technology and explores how hidden technical governance arrangements will become the constitution of our future.

This book contributes to the foundations of a critical theory of communication as shaped by the forces of digital capitalism. One of the world's leading theorists of digital media Professor Christian Fuchs explores how the thought of some of the Frankfurt School’s key thinkers can be deployed for critically understanding media in the age of the Internet. Five essays that form the heart of this book review aspects of the works of Georg Lukács, Theodor W. Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Axel Honneth and Jürgen Habermas and apply them as elements of a critical theory of communication's foundations. The approach taken starts from Georg Lukács Ontology of Social Being, draws on the work of the Frankfurt School thinkers, and sets them into dialogue with the Cultural Materialism of Raymond Williams. Critical Theory of Communication offers a vital set of new insights on how communication operates in the age of information, digital media and social media, arguing that we need to transcend the communication theory of Habermas by establishing a dialectical and cultural-materialist critical theory of communication.

Exploring the languages, poetry and elements of the heroic ages of Norse, Greek and Roman mythologies that may have influenced Tolkien's writing, it is a reference guide for any fan of Tolkien's work, Tolkien's world and the imaginative brilliance his vision inspired.The Second Age is made up of two great narrative channels: on the one hand the rise and cataclysmic downfall of the island-kingdom of Númenor and its aftermath, and on the other the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise to power of the new dark lord.Tolkien's sources for his Second Age are, of course, as rich and varied as ever and this book delves into some of these influences and shows how the power of Tolkien's imagination is manifest even in the lesser-known parts of his legendarium.This work is unofficial and is not authorised by the Tolkien Estate or HarperCollins Publishers.

Two hundred years later, her legacy lives on in the scions of two very different lines: one dedicated to using their powers to heal and help women in need; the other, determined to grasp power for themselves.This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself - and resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all.

eBook: Over the past thirty years, the Czech public administration has been the subject of research rooted in law, economics, and history. However, only minimal attention has been paid to what Czech public officials actually do on the job (policy work) and the extent of politically motivated interference in their work (politicisation). This book aims to fill this gap by presenting the evidence derived from a large-N survey of the Czech ministries, the first of its kind in the country. The findings presented in the book offer new insights into the activities within the “ivory towers” of the Czech ministries and defy popular notions of an appallingly politicised bureaucracy.

Audiokniha: „Pokud hledáte radu, jak se osvobodit z okovů všudypřítomných e-mailů, sociálních sítí, chytrých telefonů a obrazovek, nechte se vést touto knihou.“ — Adam Alter, autor knihy Neodolatelné O knize Digitální minimalisté jsou spokojení lidé, kteří nezažívají strach, že jim v online světě něco utíká. Nemají nutkavou potřebu neustále kontrolovat mobil, protože dobře vědí, které činnosti mají smysl a přinášejí jim skutečné uspokojení. Autor přelomové knihy Hluboká práce tentokrát bije na poplach před závislostním chováním v digitálním světě, které se plíživě proměnilo v normu. Cal Newport přesvědčivě ukazuje, že nutkavé používání sociálních sítí a dalších digitálních výdobytků nám neposkytuje žádný hlubší užitek, ale naopak nás připravuje o čas, soustředěnost a naplňující mezilidské vztahy. Řešením je digitální minimalismus: používání technologií, při kterém se soustředíme na malý počet pečlivě vybraných digitálních aktivit. V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte - Jak provést digitální úklid a jak si po něm nastavit pravidla pro používání technologií. - Pro koho je naše pozornost zdrojem zisku a jak funguje tzv. ekonomie pozornosti. - Kolik desítek hodin měsíčně můžete díky digitálnímu minimalismu získat oproti průměrnému uživateli Facebooku. - Proč je digitální minimalismus účinnější než utopická snaha o úplnou digitální abstinenci. - Jak si zařídit pravidelné dávky samoty a získat potřebnou koncentraci.

The third volume of Alison Weir's magisterial history of the queens of medieval EnglandMedieval queens were seen as mere dynastic trophies, yet many of the Plantagenet queens of the High Middle Ages dramatically broke away from the restrictions imposed on their sex, as Alison Weir shows in this gripping group biography of England's fourteenth-century consorts.Using personal letters and wonderfully vivid sources, Alison Weir evokes the lives of five remarkable queens: Marguerite of France, Isabella of France, Philippa of Hainault, Anne of Bohemia and Isabella of Valois.The turbulent, brutal Age of Chivalry witnessed the Black Death, the Peasants' Revolt, the Hundred Years War against France and savage baronial wars against the monarchy in which these queens were passionately involved. Queens of the Age of Chivalry brilliantly recreates this truly dramatic period of history through the lives of five extraordinary women.

We now have a generation - Muslim and non-Muslim - who has grown up only knowing a world at war on terror, and who has been socialised in a climate of widespread Islamophobia, surveillance and suspicion.In Coming of Age in the War on Terror, award-winning writer Randa Abdel-Fattah interrogates the impact of all this on young people's political consciousness and their trust towards adults and the societies they live in. Drawing on local interviews but global in scope, this book is the first to examine the lives of a generation for whom the rise of the far-right and the growing polarisation of politics seem normal. It's about time we hear what they have to say.'As one of Australia's most compelling cultural critics, Abdel-Fattah curates a precise and substantive account of the impact of 'terrorist discourse' on an entire generation. With heartbreaking pathos, she invites us into the minds and hearts of a generation of thoughtful and intelligent young Muslim and non-Muslim Australians from diverse social backgrounds. This ambitious project, comparable in its breadth to Ghassan Hage's seminal White Nation, is part cultural memoir, part empirical research essay and part historical record. Excoriating the hypocrisy of neoliberal social interventionist policies, Abdel-Fattah has given us a rich and important work, as moving in its sincerity as it is unprecedented in its scope.' - Daniel Nour, Books+Publishing'Randa Abdel-Fattah's compelling work reminds us that the way the global War on Terror has been prosecuted lands like blows across the backs of Muslim communities - it is in the everyday, the mundane, but also in the structures of state. The book should be praised for its depth and breadth of insights into Australia, as we see contemporary Islamophobia in the shade of the War on Terror revealed.' - Dr Asim Qureshi, Research Director, CAGE (UK) and author of A Virtue of Disobedience

eBook: Bestseller podľa New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly a USA Today „Newport sa snaží byť ako Marie Kondo sveta technológií: niekým so skutočným plánom, kto vám chce pomôcť uvedomiť si, ktoré digitálne aktivity váš život obohacujú a ktoré nie.“ Ezra Klein, Vox Minimalizmus je umenie vedieť, ako veľa je akurát dosť. Digitálny minimalizmus túto myšlienku aplikuje na technológie v našom osobnom živote. Je kľúčom k sústredenému životu v čoraz rušnejšom svete. Digitálni minimalisti sú všade okolo nás. Sú to tí pokojní, šťastní ľudia, ktorí dokážu viesť dlhé konverzácie bez kradmých pohľadov na svoje telefóny. Vedia sa ponoriť do dobrej knihy, remeselného projektu či pomalého ranného behu. Vedia si užiť čas s priateľmi a rodinou bez nutkavej potreby to zdokumentovať. Majú informácie o najnovších udalostiach, ale necítia sa nimi byť zavalení. Nemajú „strach z toho, že im niečo ujde“, pretože už vedia, ktoré činnosti im prinášajú zmysel a uspokojenie. Teraz Newport toto nenápadné hnutie pomenúva a presvedčivo vysvetľuje, prečo je v našom technológiami preplnenom svete nevyhnutné. Bežné tipy a rady, ako napríklad vypnúť si upozornenia alebo občas si dať digitálny pôst, nie sú dostatočne dôsledné na to, aby nám pomohli opäť prevziať kontrolu nad našimi technologickými životmi, a snahy úplne sa od technológií odpojiť nám komplikujú potreby našich rodinných príslušníkov, priateľov či práce. To, čo namiesto toho potrebujeme, je premyslená metóda, vďaka ktorej sa rozhodneme, ktoré nástroje používať, na aké účely a za akých podmienok. Na celom rade rôznorodých príkladov zo skutočného života, od amišských farmárov cez vystresovaných rodičov až po programátorov v Silicon Valley, Newport vysvetľuje bežné návyky digitálnych minimalistov a myšlienky, na ktorých sú založené. Ukazuje, ako digitálni minimalisti prehodnocujú svoj vzťah k sociálnym sieťam, znovu objavujú potešenie zo sveta „offline“, a znovu sa spájajú so sebou samým tým, že pravidelne trávia čas osamote. A potom prináša stratégie, ako tieto návyky začleniť do vášho života, počnúc procesom tridsaťdňovej „digitálnej očisty“, ktorý už pomohol tisícom ľudí, aby sa necítili tak, že ich technológia premáha, ale že ju majú pod kontrolou. Technológie vo svojej podstate nie sú ani dobré, ani zlé. Kľúčom je používať ich na to, aby vám vo vašich cieľoch a hodnotách pomáhali, a nie nechať sa nimi využiť. Táto kniha vám ukáže ako na to.

The future may still be unpredictable, but nowadays, disasters are not. We live in a time of constant, consistent catastrophe, where things more often go wrong than they go right. So why do we still fumble when disaster hits? Why are we always one step behind?In The Devil Never Sleeps, Juliette Kayyem lays the groundwork for a new approach to dealing with disasters.Presenting the basic themes of crisis management, Kayyem amends the principles we rely on far too easily. Instead, she offers us a new framework to anticipate the "devil's" inevitable return, highlighting the leadership deficiencies we need to overcome and the forward thinking we need to harness. It's no longer about preventing a disaster from occurring, but learning how to use the tools at our disposal to minimize the consequences when it does.Filled with personal anecdotes and real-life examples from natural disasters like the California wildfires to man-made ones like the Boeing 737 MAX crisis, The Devil Never Sleeps is a guide for governments, businesses, and individuals alike on how to alter our thinking so that we can develop effective strategies in the face of perpetual catastrophe.

Tápete v profesním životě? Nevíte, jaká práce by vám přinesla spokojenost a naplnění? Hlavně se při jejím hledání neřiďte omílanou radou, abyste „následovali svou vášeň“ a „dělali to, co milujete“. Tato poučka není jen romantickým mýtem, ale je přímo nebezpečná – vede k chronické fluktuaci a k úzkostem, jakmile váš sen nevyhnutelně narazí do betonové zdi reality. Cal Newport má lepší radu: pocit pracovního štěstí vám nepřinese „to pravé, vysněné zaměstnání“, ale vaše dovednosti a vaše žádanost na trhu práce. Kniha vyvrací desítky let opakované kariérní rady a ukazuje, že ideální zaměstnání si můžete, ba dokonce musíte vybudovat sami. A především vás naučí, jak se k němu postupnými kroky dopracovat. V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: Proč je snaha hledat práci na základě nadšení škodlivá. Na jakém pracovním trhu se pohybujete a co z toho pro vás vyplývá. Co je to kariérní kapitál a jak ho cílevědomě budovat. Že skvělé zaměstnání má zpravidla tři hlavní rysy: je kreativní, uplatňujete díky němu svůj vliv a máte nad svou prací kontrolu. Jak při hledání nových příležitostí aplikovat systém „malých sázek“. Co je pravidlo pozoruhodnosti a čím se dopracujete k mistrovství ve svém oboru. Jaké pasti vás čekají na cestě k větší pracovní svobodě a jak se jim vyhnout. O autorovi Cal Newport je profesorem informatiky na Georgetownské univerzitě, světově úspěšným bloggerem a autorem několika bestsellerů z oblasti osobního rozvoje.
