Words Can Change Your Brain Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In our default state, our brains constantly get in the way of effective communication. They are lazy, angry, immature, and distracted. They can make a difficult conversation impossible. But Andrew Newberg, M.D., and Mark Waldman have discovered a powerful strategy called Compassionate Communication that allows two brains to work together as one. Using brainscans as well as data collected from workshops given to MBA students at Loyola Marymount University, and clinical data from both couples in therapy and organizations helping caregivers cope with patient suffering, Newberg and Waldman have seen that Compassionate Communication can reposition a difficult conversation to lead to a satisfying conclusion. Whether you are negotiating with your boss or your spouse, the brain works the same way and responds to the same cues. The truth, though, is that you don't have to understand how Compassionate Communication works. You just have to do it. Some of the simple and effective takeaways in this book include: make sure you are relaxed; yawning several times before (not during) the meeting will do the trick; never speak for more than 20-30 seconds at a time.After that they other person's window of attention closes; use positive speech; you will need at least three positives to overcome the effect of every negative used; speak slowly; pause between words. This is critical, but really hard to do; respond to the other person; do not shift the conversation; and remember that the brain can only hold onto about four ideas at one time. Highly effective across a wide range of settings, Compassionate Communication is an excellent tool for conflict resolution but also for simply getting your point across or delivering difficult news.

The King: Chess Pieces

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

J.H.Donner  (1927-1988) was a Dutch Grandmaster and one of the greatest writers about chess of all time. He was a chess reporter and a chess columnist, as well as an annotator of the game. Above all he was a witty and unpredictable commentator of everything and everybody, both inside and outside the chess world.  THE KING  spans a writing career of more than thirty years during which Donner slowly developed from chess player-writer into writer-chess player. Donner's favourite themes are: Bobby Fischer, the blunder, chess as a game of luck, why women can't play chess, madness, and poor Lodewijk Prins, his rival for the Dutch National Championship for many years, who, according to Donner, "couldn't tell a bishop from a knight."  'THE KING' is a book full of insults and ironies, but Donner wouldn't be Donner without a considerable amount of self-mockery.  "After I resigned the last game with perfect self-control  and solemnly shook hands with my opponent in the best of Anglo-Saxon traditions, I rushed home where I threw myself onto my bed, howling and screaming, and pulled  the blankets over my face." Shortlisted English Chess Federation 2006 Book of the Year  The first unabridged English edition of this classic Lubosh Kavalek, The Washington Post: "[An] acclaimed masterpiece. The late Dutch Grandmaster was a brilliant, amusing, provoking and self-mocking author, a master of vertical hyperboles and shortcuts." Taylor Kingston, ChessCafe: "His reportorial style reminds one of the 'gonzo journalism' of Hunter S.Thompson fame, and his polemics are reminiscent of such great scourges of hypocrisy as H.L.Mencken (...) If you do not buy this book, and you later realize just how good it really is, and what a treasure you have missed, you will feel depressed, and deservedly so." Raymond Keene, chess columnist of The Times (London): "Absolutely wonderful." Harry Mulisch, author of 'The Discovery of Heaven': "This book is about chess only in appearance, and I hope that no one will allow himself to be scared off by the diagrams and the annotations. It is in fact a magnificent self-portrait of Hein Donner, the player, the equally fearless and hilarious provocateur, who, when the chips are down, will always be found on the right side." Bob Long, Chessco: "Totally absorbing. Any insightful person should have this book." Paul Motwani, The Scotsman: "An irresistible gem of a book, that weighs in at 390 pages, yet never looses the seemingly magical lightness of its text." John Saunders, British Chess Magazine: "A work that all chess players should own. It would probably be my only 'desert island' chess book." Malcolm Pein, chess columnist of The Daily Telegraph: "Donner was the wittiest, most irreverent writer of his generation. The book is a triumph." John Donaldson, Inside Chess Magazine: "Donner was witty, opinionated and often cranky, but he was always fun to read - assuming of course you weren't the object of one of his attacks." Sarah Hurst, Chess Moves: "The most outrageous chess book money can buy." Jeremy Silman, author of 'How to Reassess Your Chess': "Far and away the finest chess writing ever seen (...) Trust me, you don't want to be without this book." Tim Krabbé, author of 'The Vanishing': "Eminently readable for chess players and non-chess players alike." Mike Fox and Richard Jame s, Chess Magazine: "A magnificent portrait of a remarkable man, as well as one of the funniest chess books ever written." GM Peter Svidler, four-times chess champion of Russia: "I felt I deserved a little present and bought myself 'The King'. It is every bit as good as it is said to be." Mark Donlan, Chess Horizons: "One of the few chess books that made me laugh aloud. It is the only chess book that ever similarly amused my wife (...) This is THE BOOK to put on your Christmas or birthday wish list." Rick Kennedy, ChessVille: "A perfect gift for a chess-friend who likes a good tale told with verve and a fresh perspective. Do pick up a couple of copies, though - if you peek inside you might not want to let go of the first one!" Fred Waitzkin, author of 'Searching for Bobby Fischer': "The book has blown me away.

Getting High: The Adventures of Oasis Dean Street Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Between 1994 and 1996, music writer Paolo Hewitt spent the greater part of his life on the road with Oasis, in the U.K., Europe and America. He came back with tales that would cement the legend of the brawling, effing, hedonistic, charismatic, confessional and extraordinarily talented Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, and their group. Hewitt is a rare and perceptive fly-on-the-wall during the band's hectic rise to the height of their powers, as their first two albums are released to the kind of excitement scarcely seen in British rock music since the sixties. Hewitt takes the Gallaghers' story right back to their parents' roots in Ireland, and the descriptions of Noel and Liam's childhoods in working-class Manchester reveal the seeds of their determination to make Oasis the force it became. Getting High is an illuminating, funny, sometimes shocking reminder of how big a band can get, and how quickly the insanity sets in. Oasis have today sold in excess of 70 million records worldwide. Hewitt's intimate account of this explosive and beloved band, in their prime, is a rock classic and a riveting narrative. 'Paolo is the only person to speak about what it was like on the road with us because he's been there. He's been there, he's seen it, he's done it.' Noel Gallagher 'Top read.' Melody Maker 'Unlimited access to all areas of the Oasis bandwagon is the ace up this biography's sleeve.' Q '10/10 - sometimes you get what you pay for.' Esquire 'By adopting a fly-on-the-wall approach and writing Oasis's story as though it were a novel rather than a straight biography, he succeeds in entertaining, informing and occasionally putting you inside the head of the Gallagher brothers.' Hot Press 'In Getting High we get closer to the real Oasis, not the tabloid fancies, the music press stereotypes of Noel the genius, Liam the wanker and three other blokes who don't count. Hewitt paints an engrossing and uplifting portrait of one of the most important bands of the decade.' The Word and Issue 'Getting High is refreshingly well written' Total Guitar 'Compelling drama' Manchester Evening News 'If you only buy one book about Oasis, then make sure it's this one.' FHM 'This well-researched tome chronicles many a pivotal moment in Oasis's history and is filled with plenty of ribald anecdotes.' NME 'Head and shoulders above every other Oasis book. I hated finishing it so much I read it again.' Irvine Welsh

Ronnie Wood - Ronnie Pan Macmillan

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Ronnie Wood is one of rock's true originals. This is his story, in his own words, about his life, loves, family, friends, music, art and survival against the odds. It's a roller-coaster ride of unbelievable highs and unimaginable lows, From a small boy growing up on a working class council estate not far from Heathrow Airport who wanted to play music and paint - the first generation of his "water gypsy" family to be born on dry land - to becoming one of the most famous musicians in the world, Ronnie Wood toured the world with his Rolling Stone bandmates - Mick, Keith, Charlie and, for a while, Bill. And the five of them have, arguably, been seen in person by more people on this planet than anyone else in the history of mankind. But as mayhem and hysteria invariably followed on Ronnie's adventure through the excesses of rock n roll, the drugs got harder and his relationships - especially with Mick, Keith, various women and his family - became increasingly more complex. This is Ronnie the husband, father, grandfather and rock star the way you have never seen any rock star before.RONNIE is an up-front and personal look at life as a Rolling Stone, from the inside, and at the Stones as the rest of the world has never seen them. After RONNIE, drugs, sex and rock n roll will never be the same again.

The Massacre of Mankind - Stephen Baxter

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - It has been 14 years since the Martians invaded England. The world has moved on, always watching the skies but content that we know how to defeat the Martian menace. Machinery looted from the abandoned capsules and war-machines has led to technological leaps forward. The Martians are vulnerable to earth germs. The Army is prepared. So when the signs of launches on Mars are seen, there seems little reason to worry. Unless you listen to one man, Walter Jenkins, the narrator of Wells" book. He is sure that the Martians have learned, adapted, understood their defeat. He is right. Thrust into the chaos of a new invasion, a journalist - sister-in-law to Walter Jenkins - must survive, escape and report on the war. The Massacre of Mankind has begun "Stephen Baxter is arguably Wells"s current representative on Earth." BBC Inside Science, Radio 4 Stephen Baxter, a bright star in the British firmament of science fiction. THE TIMES I can"t think of another living writer more deserving of the "official heir of Wells" tag than Baxter. GUARDIAN Baxter has cleverly extrapolated Wells" themes and incorporates scientific theories of the day. FINANCIAL TIMES It"s exciting, tense, and more than big and clever enough to be something of a triumph. SFX A welcome expansion of the War Of The Worlds story, and one that delights.
