Nightwish: Human. :||: Nature (Earbook 2xCD) - CD (0727361520441)The perfect pocketbook gift for the power-hungry - from 'the modern Machiavelli', Robert Greene, international bestselling sensation author of The 48 Laws of Power, Seduction and War. This concise version of the business classic Mastery provides a shortcut to Greene's powerful new tools for achieving greatness. Around the globe, people are facing the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we want to succeed. To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then change them completely.Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy, Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret of their eventual greatness lies in a 'rigorous apprenticeship': they learnt to master the 'hidden codes' which determine ultimate success or failure. Then, they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality.Told through Robert Greene's signature blend of historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on interviews with world leaders, Concise Mastery builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and learn how to start living by your own rules.

Nightwish: Human. :||: Nature (Earbook 2xCD) - CD (0727361520441)When Richard Rumelt's Good Strategy/Bad Strategy was published in 2011, it immediately struck a chord, calling out as bad strategy the mish-mash of pop culture, motivational slogans and business buzz speak so often and misleadingly masquerading as the real thing. Since then, his original and pragmatic ideas have won fans around the world and continue to help readers to recognise and avoid the elements of bad strategy and adopt good, action-oriented strategies that honestly acknowledge the challenges being faced and offer straightforward approaches to overcoming them. Strategy should not be equated with ambition, leadership, vision or planning; rather, it is coherent action backed by an argument. For Rumelt, the heart of good strategy is insight into the hidden power in any situation, and into an appropriate response - whether launching a new product, fighting a war or putting a man on the moon. Drawing on examples of the good and the bad from across all sectors and all ages, he shows how this insight can be cultivated with a wide variety of tools that lead to better thinking and better strategy, strategy that cuts through the hype and gets results.

A physicist by education, he is the inventor of the microprocessor and the MOS silicon gate technology, both of which underlie the modern world's entire information technology. With the knowledge and experience of a lifetime in cutting-edge fields, Federico now turns his attention to consciousness and the nature of reality, sharing with us his profound insights on the classical and quantum worlds, artificial intelligence, life and the human mind. In this book, he elaborates on an idealist model of reality, produced after years of careful thought and direct experience, according to which nature's most fundamental level is that of consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists merely of evocative symbols of a deeper reality.

Nightwish: Human. :||: Nature (Earbook 2xCD) - CD (0727361520441)Tato kniha je hlavně o psychologickém svádění, aby lidé podlehli vašemu kouzlu. Je to velmi svůdná kniha. Už jen při jejím čtení ve vás začnou sílit netušené schopnosti a možnosti. Svádění je vrcholný projev moci. Ten, kdo mu podlehne, tak nečiní z donucení, ale ochotně a s radostí. Ženám se líbí svádět muže a muže ženy; spisovatelé svádějí čtenáře, herci diváky, prodavači zákazníky, politici svádějí voliče, tedy nás všechny. A přesto jen nemnozí lidé ovládají umění svádět. Tato kniha obsahuje promyšlené lekce, jak se chovat, pokud je vaším cílem někoho svést. Robert Greene je velký znalec lidské duše. Jeho styl psaní je velmi inteligentní, kultivovaný, inspirativní a vtipný. Vypráví o tom, co je pro člověka lákavé a svůdné, tak poutavě, že už jen při čtení těchto stránek máme chuť zažít něco vzrušujícího, krásného a neobyčejného. Uvedená důkladně podložená vysvětlení se týkají univerzálních lidských sklonů, tužeb a slabostí. Vnímavý čtenář si z nich snadno vyvodí obecnější poznatky, jež může aplikovat i jinde než v oblasti erotiky a lásky. Svádění je velmi mocná psychologická hra. Moudrý autor proto nezapomíná ani na důležitá varování a upozornění. Hlavním cílem je totiž užívat si život nad rámec všednosti, povinností a omezení. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Nightwish: Human. :||: Nature (Earbook 2xCD) - CD (0727361520441)Počátečním bodem pro určení správné strategie je vaše mysl. Staňte se skutečným mistrem strategie při řešení všech druhů konfliktů. Mysl, která nevidí svět jasně a nedokáže rozpoznat priority, vytváří strategie, jež se vždy minou účinkem. Odvážná kniha o odvěké součásti lidského života a společnosti – bojování a válčení, vítězství a prohře. Díkybohu žijeme v části světa, kde nezuří válka, přesto však všude stále probíhají nějaké konflikty, jež se nás více či méně dotýkají. Kromě toho každý z nás ve svém osobním životě pravidelně o něco bojuje a naráží na různé formy nepřátelství. Autor vychází ze skvělé znalosti lidské povahy i potřeb dnešní doby. Ve 33 kapitolách předkládá strategie a klíčové dovednosti, které vedou k úspěchu a síle. Ty podkládá citáty osobností, jež se staly v dějinách známými úspěšnými dobyvateli či válečnými stratégy, jako například Napoleon či Winston Churchill, nejvíc však cituje staré čínské dílo Umění války od Sun-c’ (4. století př. n. l.). „O vítězství ve válkách a všech druzích konfliktů rozhoduje strategie. Počátečním bodem je vaše mysl. Mysl, která nevidí svět jasně a nedokáže rozpoznat priority, vytváří strategie, jež se minou účinkem. Abyste se stali skutečnými stratégy, musíte učinit tři kroky. Za prvé je třeba si uvědomit, jaké slabosti mohou narušovat strategické schopnosti vaší mysli. Za druhé – vyhlaste určitý druh války sami sobě, abyste se posunuli dál. A za třetí: bojujte nemilosrdně, bez přestání a s využitím jistých strategií proti nepřátelům uvnitř své osobnosti.“ „Žijeme v době, kdy jsou lidé jen zřídka otevřeně nepřátelští. Pravidla boje – ať už sociálního, politického nebo vojenského – se změnila. Ačkoliv je dnes na světě více soutěživosti a konkurence než kdykoliv dříve, přímá agrese je chápána jako něco nepřípustného, takže lidé se naučili útočit nečekaně a lstivě.“ (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Nightwish: Human. :||: Nature (Earbook 2xCD) - CD (0727361520441)eBook: Jestliže se všichni rodíme v podstatě se stejným mozkem, s víceméně stejnou konfigurací a kapacitou pro dosažení mistrovství, proč v celé historii skutečně vynikl a realizoval tuto potenciální schopnost jen omezený počet lidí? Z praktického hlediska je to pro nás ta nejdůležitější otázka.“ – R. Greene MUSÍ SE ČLOVĚK JAKO GÉNIUS NARODIT, NEBO SE JÍM MŮŽE STÁT?

"Greene se specializuje na analýzu životů a filozofií historických osobností, jako jsou Sun Tzu a Napoleon, a získává z nich tipy, jak manipulovat s lidmi a situacemi, což mu vyneslo oddané čtenáře z řad podobně smýšlejících rapperů, drogových dealerů a manažerů firem."-The New York Times "Přesvědčivé." - Forbes "Poučné." - The Guardian (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Nightwish: Human. :||: Nature (Earbook 2xCD) - CD (0727361520441)From an award-winning financial historian comes the gripping, character-driven story of venture capital and the world it madeInnovations rarely come from "experts." Jeff Bezos was not a bookseller; Elon Musk was not in the auto industry. When it comes to innovation, a legendary venture capitalist told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. Most attempts at discovery fail, but a few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else.That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives venture capital, Silicon Valley, the tech sector, and, by extension, the world. Drawing on unprecedented access to the most celebrated venture capitalists of all time, award-winning financial historian Sebastian Mallaby tells the story of this strange tribe of financiers who have funded the world's most successful companies, from Google to SpaceX to Alibaba. With a riveting blend of storytelling and analysis, The Power Law makes sense of the seeming randomness of success in venture capital, an industry that relies, for good and ill, on gut instinct and personality rather than spreadsheets and data.We learn the unvarnished truth about some of the most iconic triumphs and infamous disasters in the history of tech, from the comedy of errors that was the birth of Apple to the venture funding that fostered hubris at WeWork and Uber to the industry's notorious lack of women and ethnic minorities. Now the power law echoes around the world: it has transformed China's digital economy beyond recognition, and London is one of the top cities for venture capital investment. By taking us so deeply into the VCs' game, The Power Law helps us think about our own future through their eyes. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Nightwish: Human. :||: Nature (Earbook 2xCD) - CD (0727361520441)Inferior is more than just a book. It's a battle cry - and right now, it's having a galvanising effect on its core fanbase' ObserverAre women more nurturing than men?Are men more promiscuous than women?Are males the naturally dominant sex?And can science give us an impartial answer to these questions?Taking us on an eye-opening journey through science, Inferior challenges our preconceptions about men and women, investigating the ferocious gender wars that burn in biology, psychology and anthropology. Angela Saini revisits the landmark experiments that have informed our understanding, lays bare the problem of bias in research, and speaks to the scientists finally exploring the truth about the female sex.The result is an enlightening and deeply empowering account of women's minds, bodies and evolutionary history. Interrogating what these revelations mean for us as individuals and as a society, Inferior unveils a fresh view of science in which women are included, rather than excluded. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Nightwish: Human. :||: Nature (Earbook 2xCD) - CD (0727361520441)Kniha - autor Toni Morrison, 368 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná These pages give us her searing prayer for the dead of 9/11, her Nobel lecture on the power of language, her searching meditation on Martin Luther King Jr., her heart-wrenching eulogy for James Baldwin.

Nightwish: Human. :||: Nature (Earbook 2xCD) - CD (0727361520441)Jedna z celosvětově nejúspěšnějších a nejprodávanějších knih o tom, jak funguje moc. Amorální, skandální, velice cynická, a přitom nesmírně pravdivá. Naučí vás poznat a správně si vysvětlovat myšlenky, přání i chování druhých a využívat to ve svůj prospěch. Díky radám autora pro vás bude mnohem snazší postupovat po kariérním žebříčku. Autor je velký znalec lidské psychologie a ví, co říká. To, co popisuje, v dnešním světě opravdu funguje. Není to duchovní či ezoterická kniha. Je to cynický návod na to, jak nenápadně manipulovat, využívat a překonávat jiné lidi tak, abychom měli čím dál větší moc, čím dál větší úspěch. Tento návod však stojí na dobré znalosti lidské povahy. A zároveň, uvedené zákonitosti jsou podány velmi rafinovaně – na to, aby je člověk opravdu pochopil a vhodně uplatňoval, musí být silný, rozhodný, inteligentní a vynalézavý. Na cestě k moci je totiž nutné rozvíjet své silné stránky a nejednu pozitivní vlastnost. Motivací sice může být moc, zisk a osobní prospěch, ale to člověka současně nevyhnutně pohání vpřed na cestě celkového rozvoje a růstu. Každá kapitola představuje jeden ze 48 daných zákonů, a to podle této osnovy: znění zákona; z něj plynoucí rady (v knize nazvané „klíče k moci“); příběh z historie, případně nějaké podobenství či legenda, jež daný zákon ilustruje; rozbor celého tématu; symbolické znázornění podstaty uvedeného zákona; citát známé osobnosti. Skutečné případy čtenáře poučí, jak i z prohrané pozice můžete ješte stále směřovat k vítězství. (patro.cz)
