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.

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)

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)

"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)

Kniha Roberta Greena z roku 1998; tematicky je velmi blízká Vladaři Niccolo Machiavelliho. Jednotlivé zákony moci jsou postupně demonstrovány pomocí reálných příběhů ze světové historie (Ludvík XIV., Talleyrand, Otto von Bismarck, Kateřina Veliká, Mao Ce-tung, Haile Selassie a řada jiných). Greene ponechává na čtenáři, aby si sám udělal úsudek, nakolik je používání těchto pravidel etické. Někdo nazývá tuto knihu nástroj pro ty, kteří chtějí dosáhnout moc a úspěch. Jiný si myslí, že je to hlavně praktická příručka pro každou příležitost. Pravdou však je, že již dvě desetiletí je to nejprodávanější kniha o fungování moci a zůstane ještě dlouho jednou z nejčtenějších knih na světě na toto téma. Pokud si o sobě myslíte, že jste ambiciózní, pak je tato kniha pro vás. Naučí vás poznat a ovládnout myšlenky i přání druhých. V návaznosti na rady autora pro vás bude mnohem snazší postupovat po kariérním žebříčku směrem nahoru. Naučíte se chápat, na jaké pozici se nacházejí vaši vůdci, a správně to využít ve svůj prospěch. A to není fikce! Autor je velký znalec lidské psychologie a ví, co říká. Jeho kniha pomohla tisícům lidí, aby realizovali své plány. Autor popisuje desítky příkladů správného konání v konkrétních situacích. Na skutečných příbězích ukazuje, jak i z prohrané pozice můžete směřovat k vítězství. Čtenář se setká s nestandardními metodami vyjednávání a řízení. Každé své tvrzení autor dokumentuje na konkrétních příkladech. Bestseller 48 Zákonů moci seznámí čtenáře se základními pravidly chování. Každý postulát v knize je jasně a srozumitelně formulovaný. Všechny zde uvedené zákony mají vědecký základ a doporučené konkrétní způsoby řízení. S pomocí jeho rad můžete každé své slovo, pohyb nebo úsměv změnit na mocnou zbraň. Použijte neznalost svých soupeřů k dosažení svých cílů. Současně se naučíte správně chápat, co se opravdu skrývá za slovy nebo jednáním vašich podřízených, vedoucích nebo kolegy v práci.

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)

1919. The eyes of the world are on Paris, where statesmen, diplomats and politicians have gathered to discuss the fate of half the world's nations in the aftermath of the cataclysm that was the Great War. A horde of journalists, spies and opportunists have also gathered in the city and the last thing the British diplomatic community needs at such a time is the mysterious death of a senior member of their delegation. So, when Sir Henry Maxted falls from the roof of his mistress's apartment building in unexplained circumstances, their first instinct is to suppress all suspicious aspects of the event. But Sir Henry's son, ex Royal Flying Corps ace James 'Max' Maxted, has other ideas. He resolves to find out how and why his father died - even if this means disturbing the impression of harmonious calm which the negotiating teams have worked so hard to maintain. In a city where countries are jostling for position at the crossroads of history and the stakes could hardly be higher, it is difficult to tell who is a friend and who a foe. And Max will soon discover just how much he needs friends, as his search for the truth sucks him into the dark heart of a seemingly impenetrable mystery. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

'Rarely is a book this finely wrought, the lives and histories it holds so tenderly felt, and rendered unforgettably true' Ocean Vuong, author of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous In this blinding debut, Robert Jones Jr. blends the lyricism of Toni Morrison with the vivid prose of Zora Neale Hurston to characterise the forceful, enduring bond of love, and what happens when brutality threatens the purest form of serenity. The Halifax plantation is known as Empty by the slaves who work it under the pitiless gaze of its overseers and its owner, Massa Paul. Two young enslaved men, Samuel and Isaiah dwell among the animals they keep in the barn, helping out in the fields when their day is done. But the barn is their haven, a space of radiance and love - away from the blistering sun and the cruelty of the toubabs - where they can be alone together. But, Amos - a fellow slave - has begun to direct suspicion towards the two men and their refusal to bend. Their flickering glances, unspoken words and wilful intention, revealing a truth that threatens to rock the stability of the plantation. And preaching the words of Massa Paul's gospel, he betrays them.

Robert Mazur spent five years undercover infiltrating the criminal hierarchy of Colombia's drug cartels. The dirty bankers and businessmen he befriended knew him as Bob Musella, a wealthy, mob-connected big shot living the good life. Together they partied in expensive hotels, drank the world's finest champagnes, drove Rolls-Royce convertibles and flew in private jets. But under Mazur's designer suits and hidden away in his quality briefcase, recorders whirred quietly, capturing the damning evidence of their crimes. Then, at his own staged wedding, he led a dramatic takedown that shook the underworld. In the end, more than eighty men and women were charged worldwide. Operation C-Chase became one of the most successful undercover operations in the history of US law enforcement, and evidence gathered during the bust proved critical to the conviction of General Manuel Noriega. The Infiltrator is the true story of how Mazur's undercover work helped bring down the unscrupulous bankers who manipulated complex international finance systems to serve drug lords - including Pablo Escobar and the infamous Medillin cartel - corrupt politicians, tax cheats and terrorists. It is a shocking chronicle of the rise and fall of perhaps the biggest and most intricate money-laundering operation of all time. And, at its heart, it's a vivid portrait of an undercover life and the sacrifices it requires. Filled with dangerous lies, near misses and harrowing escapes, The Infiltrator is as bracing and explosive as the greatest fiction thrillers - only it's all true. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

In his role as apprentice to the elderly tobacconist Otto Trsnyek, he will soon be supplying the great and good of Vienna with their newspapers and cigarettes. Among the regulars is a Professor Freud, whose predilection for cigars and occasional willingness to dispense romantic advice will forge a bond between him and young Franz.It is 1937. In a matter of months Germany will annex Austria and the storm that has been threatening to engulf the little tobacconist will descend, leaving the lives of Franz, Otto and Professor Freud irredeemably changed.

As seen on The Daily Show, an illustrated portrait of the Donald J. Trump Twitter account, with analysis and 'scholarly' commentary from the writers of The Daily Show and an introduction by Trevor Noah.In June 2017, just steps from Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah opened The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library, a 4,000-square-foot museum space that gave the 45th president and his amazing Twitter legacy the respect they deserve. In the single weekend it was open to the public, the Library pop-up drew 7,500 visitors and had to turn away countless others.But the Presidential Twitter Library experience should not be limited to the elite coastal few. Not fair!

Největší bestseller Melvilu vydaný po roce 2016 míří do světa! Kniha Roberta Vlacha „Na volné noze: Podnikejte jako profesionálové“ byla v roce 2017 naší nejúspěšnější novinkou co do prodejů i hodnocení čtenářů: Heuréka 95 %, Kosmas 96 %, Dobrovský 94 %, Martinus 92 %, Goodreads 90 %, Alza 96 %, Zboží.cz 95 % atd. A protože freelancing (neboli podnikání na volné noze) je celosvětový fenomén, který Robertova kniha rozebírá do větší hloubky i šíře než zahraniční tituly, rozhodli jsme se ji vydat také v angličtině a dalších jazycích. Robert knihu přepracoval pro mezinárodní čtenářské publikum a přidal přes 350 změn, obrázků, cvičení, zdrojů a příkladů ze světa včetně doporučení, která mu exkluzivně zaslali světoví autoři David Allen (GTD), David H. Hansson (Basecamp, Restart), Adam Grant (Dávat a brát) a Austin Kleon (Ukaž, co děláš). Úvodní část zkrátil a výsledný rukopis je o třetinu kratší než 760stránková česká předloha. Oslovili jsme zkušeného překladatele Erika Pipera, který jako rodilý mluvčí rukopis převedl do svěží soudobé angličtiny, přičemž zachoval styl a ducha originálu. Na textu dále pracoval americký editor Scott Hudson, a aby toho nebylo málo, Robert ještě přizval tucet zkušených freelancerů z půlky světa na závěrečnou oponenturu. Výsledkem je strhující odborná kniha, která se čte jako po másle. The most comprehensive book for freelancers ever written.

Larkin (The Tribune) picks up the reins for the fifth entry in the Ludlum-spawned Covert-One biotech series (The Altman Code; etc.), bringing to the task a solid intelligence, some really scary nanotechnology and a writing style that sometimes lapses into cliché but always gets the job done. FBI Deputy Assistant Director Kit Pierson and her CIA counterpart, Hal Burke, are secretly working on an operation to destroy the Lazarus Movement, an environmental group run amok. Once a legitimate organization, the Lazarus Movement has been taken over by an evil scientist whose goal is-you guessed it-world domination. Thrust into the middle of this deadly struggle is series hero Lt. Col. Jon Smith, M.D., a scientist and operative for Covert-One, a super top-secret intelligence unit. When the Lazarus Movement's attack on a biotech lab releases a deadly brew of nanophages, microscopic killer devices that turn those unlucky enough to inhale them into piles of "reddish liquid sludge," some start to think that the movement's diabolical leader envisions a vastly depopulated world that he can redesign into an environmental paradise. The action careens from continent to continent, with the bad guys always a few steps ahead of the heroes. Eventually, everyone ends up on an island in the Azores, where, after a deadly firefight and some last-minute reversals, the inevitable conclusion arrives. Hand-to-hand action, intriguing science and plot speed will keep most techno-thriller readers nailed to their seats. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
