Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Breaking Bad, hailed by Stephen King, Chuck Klosterman, and many others as the best of all TV dramas, tells the story of a man whose life changes because of the medical death sentence of an advanced cancer diagnosis. The show depicts his metamorphosis from inoffensive chemistry teacher to feared drug lord and remorseless killer. Driven at first by the desire to save his family from destitution, he risks losing his family altogether because of his new life of crime. In defiance of the tradition that viewers demand a TV character who never changes, Breaking Bad is all about the process of change, with each scene carrying forward the morphing of Walter White into the terrible Heisenberg. Can a person be transformed as the result of a few key life choices? Does everyone have the potential to be a ruthless criminal? How will we respond to the knowledge that we will be dead in six months? Is human life subject to laws as remorseless as chemical equations? When does injustice validate brutal retaliation? Why are drug addicts unsuitable for operating the illegal drug business? How can TV viewers remain loyal to a series where the hero becomes the villain?Does Heisenberg's Principle of Uncertainty rule our destinies? In Breaking Bad and Philosophy, a hand-picked squad of professional thinkers investigate the crimes of Walter White, showing how this story relates to the major themes of philosophy and the major life decisions facing all of us.

Weiwei-isms Princeton University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This collection of quotes demonstrates the elegant simplicity of Ai Weiwei's thoughts on key aspects of his art, politics, and life. A master at communicating powerful ideas in astonishingly few words, Ai Weiwei is known for his innovative use of social media to disseminate his views. The short quotations presented here have been carefully selected from articles, tweets, and interviews given by this acclaimed Chinese artist and activist. The book is organized into six categories: freedom of expression; art and activism; government, power, and moral choices; the digital world; history, the historical moment, and the future; and personal reflections. Together, these quotes span some of the most revealing moments of Ai Weiwei's eventful career - from his risky investigation into student deaths in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake to his arbitrary arrest in 2011 - providing a window into the mind of one of the world's most electrifying and courageous contemporary artists. Select Quotes from the Book: On Freedom of Expression: "Say what you need to say plainly, and then take responsibility for it". "A small act is worth a million thoughts". "Liberty is about our rights to question everything"; On Art and Activism: "Everything is art. Everything is politics". "The art always wins. Anything can happen to me, but the art will stay". "Life is art. Art is life. I never separate it. I don't feel that much anger. I equally have a lot of joy". On Government, Power, and Making Moral Choices: "Once you've tasted freedom, it stays in your heart and no one can take it. Then, you can be more powerful than a whole country". "I feel powerless all the time, but I regain my energy by making a very small difference that won't cost me much". "Tips on surviving the regime: Respect yourself and speak for others. Do one small thing every day to prove the existence of justice". On the Digital World: "Only with the Internet can a peasant I have never met hear my voice and I can learn what's on his mind. A fairy tale has come true". "The Internet is uncontrollable. And if the Internet is uncontrollable, freedom will win. It's as simple as that". "The Internet is the best thing that could have happened to China". On History, the Historical Moment, and the Future: "If a nation cannot face its past, it has no future". "We need to get out of the old language". "The world is a sphere, there is no East or West". Personal Reflections: "I've never planned any part of my career - except being an artist. And I was pushed into that corner because I thought being an artist was the only way to have a little freedom". "Anyone fighting for freedom does not want to totally lose their freedom". "Expressing oneself is like a drug. I'm so addicted to it".

Reflections on Leadership: How Robert K. Greenleaf Greenleaf's Theory of Servant-Leadership Influenced Today's Top Management Thinkers John Wiley & Sons Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"I believe that [Bob Greenleaf's] essay, 'The Servant as Leader' is the most singular and useful statement on leadership that I have read in the last 20 years. Despite a virtual tidal wave of books on leadership during the last few years, there is something different about Bob Greenleaf's essay, something both simpler and more profound...For many years, I simply told people not to waste their time reading all the other managerial leadership books. 'If you are really serious about the deeper territory of true leadership', I would say, 'read "Greenleaf"'". (from Chapter 20 by Peter M. Senge, Director of the Center for Organizational Learning at MIT's Sloan School of Management and author of "The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization"). "There is a building momentum for enlightened leadership in the for-profit world, the social sector, and many areas of government today...Good books that deal with the beliefs and convictions that nurture this movement are not easy to find. This is one. "Reflections on Leadership" is a worthy and worthwhile gift to all those who attach high value both to their responsibilities and to the people with whom they work".(from the Foreword, by Max DePree, Chairman and CEO of Herman Miller Inc. and author of "Leadership Is an Art" and "Leadership Jazz"). "I could give you three examples of major businesses who have used this business of servant-leadership training ...at times of terrible crisis and have worked themselves out of the crisis. Practicing servant-leadership ...had absolutely enormous incredible benefits for them ...and then they threw it away. Because, as soon as the crisis passed, they said 'why exert ourselves?' The great problem is not how to ...teach servant-leadership in the first place, but to get organizations to continue to use it and embed it in part of their culture". (from Chapter 7 by M. Scott Peck, author of "The Road Less Traveled"). ""Reflections on Leadership" is fitting tribute to a man whose own sense of service has given all of us hope that at long last leaders will recognize that power of purpose is far stronger than power of position. After nearly 30 years, Robert K. Greenleaf's work has struck a resonant chord in the minds and hearts of scholars and practitioners alike. His message lives through others, the true legacy of a servant-leader".(Jim Kouzes, Chairman and CEO of TPG/Learning Systems and coauthor of "The Leadership Challenge and Credibility"). "We are each indebted to Greenleaf for bringing spirit and values into the workplace. His ideas will have enduring value for every generation of leaders". (Peter Block, Founding Partner, Designed Learning Inc. and author of "The Empowered Manager, Flawless Consulting, and Stewardship: Choosing Service Over Self-Interest"). In the twenty-five years since Robert K. Greenleaf first articulated his vision of "servant-leadership", the world has seen a steady expansion in the influence of the man and his ideas. Hailed as the "grandfather" of the modern empowerment movement in business leadership, Greenleaf described true leaders as those who lead by serving others - empowering them to reach their full potential. He saw the ideal leader as one who transforms and integrates an organization; a steward with a commitment to the growth of people and the building of a community. "Reflections on Leadership" demonstrates the scope of Greenleaf's impact on contemporary management theory and offers key essays by Greenleaf and his leading business and intellectual disciples.They include such influential thinkers as M. Scott Peck, author of "The Road Less Traveled", and Peter Senge, author of "The Fifth Discipline". "Despite all the buzz about modern leadership techniques, no one knows better than Greenleaf what really matters". ("Working Woman" magazine). "Reflections on Leadership" opens with two remarkable essays by Greenleaf himself. One of them, "Reflections from Experience", published here for the first time, presents Greenleaf's prophetic observations on the use of executive power in an organization. In "Life's Choices and Markers", Greenleaf recounts five significant influences that led him to develop his revolutionary ideas on the nature of leadership. "Servant-leadership deals with the reality of power in everyday life - its legitimacy, the ethical restraints upon it and the beneficial results that can be attained through the appropriate use of power". ("The New York Times").In "Reflections on Leadership", a host of notable management thinkers explore the implications of the servant-leadership concept in such areas as: Business ethics; Team-building and servant-leadership; Corporate risk-taking; Spirit in the workplace; Becoming a servant-leader; and, The future of leadership. For those who have already benefited from Greenleaf's ideas and wish to deepen their understanding, this is an essential book. It is also the ideal introduction for those eager to draw on a source of wisdom that has inspired so many others.

Take the Risk Zondervan

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

No risk, pay the cost. Know risk, reap the rewards. In our risk-avoidance culture, we place a high premium on safety. We insure our vacations. We check crash tests on cars. We extend the warranties on our appliances. But by insulating ourselves from the unknown the risks of life we miss the great adventure of living our lives to their full potential. Ben Carson spent his childhood as an at-risk child on the streets of Detroit, and today he takes daily risks in performing complex surgeries on the brain and the spinal cord. Now, offering inspiring personal examples, Dr. Carson invites us to embrace risk in our own lives. From a man whose life dramatically portrays the connection between great risks and greater successes, here are insights that will help you dispel your fear of risk so you can dream big, aim high, move with confidence, and reap rewards you ve never imagined. By avoiding risk, are you also avoiding the full potential of your life? The surgery was as risky as anything Dr. Ben Carson had seen. The Bijani sisters conjoined twins shared part of a skull, brain tissue, and crucial blood flow. One or both of them could die during the operation. But the women wanted separate lives. And they were willing to accept the risk to reach the goal, even against the advice of their doctors As a child on the dangerous streets of Detroit, and as a surgeon in operating theaters around the world, Dr. Ben Carson has learned all about risk he faces it on a daily basis. Out of his perilous childhood, a world-class surgeon emerged precisely because of the risks Dr. Carson was willing to take. In his compelling new book, he examines our safety-at-all-costs culture and the meaning of risk and security in our lives. In our 21st-century world, we insulate ourselves with safety. We insure everything from vacations to cell phones. We go on low-cholesterol diets and buy low-risk mutual funds. But in the end, everyone faces risk, like the Bijani twins did with their brave decision. Even if our choices are not so dramatic or the outcome so heartbreaking, what does it mean if we back away instead of move forward? Have we so muffled our hearts and minds that we fail to reach for all that life can offer us and all that we can offer life? Take the Risk guides the reader through an examination of risk, including: A short review of risk-taking in history. An assessment of the real costs and rewards of risk. Learning how to assess and accept risks. Understanding how risk reveals the purpose of your lives."

Surviving and Preventing Cancer Xlibris

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Janusz Dals-Pawlicki has survived several cancers, and he consciously searched for alternative and natural methods to prevent from reoccurring it again. His book Surviving and Preventing Cancer represents a very complex approach to alternative ways of treating and preventing cancer and other diseases. The book is loaded with practical and helpful information and recommendations. It is the most complex guide for cancer sufferers as well as for all those conscious of existing danger-it shows universal direction to well-being. He stresses the importance of prevention as the best cure for all illnesses. His book has been inspired and is based on his own experience and knowledge acquired throughout the years of his struggle with illness. It also promotes spirituality in the practical context as an important tool in the fight against the disease. All that in order to facilitate the transition to healthy lifestyle in the easiest, fastest, and the most transparent way possible and achieving the ultimate goal-good health. He talks about his life prior to the illness, about first diagnosis and conventional treatment he then received and its detrimental effects, which eventually helped him in the decision-making process and led to the future choices. Then he elaborates about his lifesaving alternative therapies, which included meditation, positive thinking, and a healthy diet. He also focuses on many other important factors affecting our lifestyle that we often tend to overlook or ignore. In promoting the above, he attempts to make his book as informative as possible, avoiding making it too scientific. He strongly acknowledges the importance of guidance he has received throughout his journey; he acknowledges his teachers, and he often refers to their wisdom. His unique voice is particularly valuable as it comes from the first-hand survivor. He would like his book to inspire all readers to enquire, to seek improvement in their lifestyle, and to be well.

Norm Chronicles Profile Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Meet Norm. He's 31, 5'9", just over 13 stone, and works a 39 hour week. He likes a drink, doesn't do enough exercise and occasionally treats himself to a bar of chocolate (milk). He's a pretty average kind of guy. In fact, he is the average guy in this clever and unusual take on statistical risk, chance, and how these two factors affect our everyday choices. Watch as Norm (who, like all average specimens, feels himself to be uniquely special), and his friends careful Prudence and reckless Kelvin, turns to statistics to help him in life's endless series of choices - should I fly or take the train? Have a baby? Another drink? Or another sausage? Do a charity skydive or get a lift on a motorbike? Because chance and risk aren't just about numbers - it's about what we believe, who we trust and how we feel about the world around us. From a world expert in risk and the bestselling author of The Tiger That Isn't (and creator of BBC Radio 4's More or Less), this is a commonsense (and wildly entertaining) guide to personal risk and decoding the statistics that represent it.

The Secret Memoirs of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Griffin

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Jackie Kennedy quite famously said, "I want to live my life, not record it." She remains elusive, her interior life hidden, her feelings and motivations secret. Yet who has not wondered what lay behind those sunglasses? Haven't we all wondered how Jackie felt about Jack's womanizing? How could she not have known? How did she tolerate it? How did her childhood passions and turbulent family life shape her choices? How did her love of fashion and culture influence the White House? What did she think about Marilyn Monroe? Why did she ever marry Onassis? What made her take a job in publishing when she clearly didn't need one? How did she endure the loss of her babies, the pressure of the Kennedy political machine, the murder of her husband, the never ending paparazzi, and the news of her imminent death? In this powerful, poignant, and sweeping novel, Ruth Francisco tells Jackie's story in Jackie's voice and boldly plunges into the subtext of her public life, reimagining her thoughts and feelings between the lines of recorded history.

For years, dogs all over the world have benefited from the successful philosophies and empowering techniques in BAT, but Grisha Stewart has taken it to the next level.

I highly recommend BAT 2.0 to anyone who is struggling with a reactive dog or who wants to gain a better understanding of their canine companion.Victoria Stilwell, author, Train Your Dog Positively (via Twitter)Grisha Stewart's updated version of BAT is easy to understand with wonderful illustrations and pictures to help the reader visualize the process. One of the things I like most about this book is the attention paid to reading dogs for signs of stress in order to keep the dog as comfortable as possible during setups.Emily Larlham, dog trainer, seminar presenter, and host of the Kikopup YouTube Channel.When I ask behavior professionals, What are your eyes for? they enthusiastically reply, To see!

In BAT 2.0, Grisha Stewart provides the essential answer to this all-important question: Behavior is to have an effect, that is, to be effective. By safely allowing dogs more control over their own outcomes, especially in challenging conditions where fearful, frustrated, and aggressive behavior is most likely, caregivers will be more successful shaping independent, competent, confident companions.Susan G.

Don't Trust Your Gut HarperCollins

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is as good a data storyteller as I have ever met." - Steven Levitt, co-author, FreakonomicsBig decisions are hard. We consult friends and family, make sense of confusing "expert" advice online, maybe we read a self-help book to guide us. In the end, we usually just do what feels right, pursuing high stakes self-improvement-such as who we marry, how to date, where to live, what makes us happy-based solely on what our gut instinct tells us. But what if our gut is wrong? Biased, unpredictable, and misinformed, our gut, it turns out, is not all that reliable. And data can prove this. In Don't Trust Your Gut, economist, former Google data scientist, and New York Times bestselling author Seth Stephens-Davidowitz reveals just how wrong we really are when it comes to improving our own lives. In the past decade, scholars have mined enormous datasets to find remarkable new approaches to life's biggest self-help puzzles. Data from hundreds of thousands of dating profiles have revealed surprising successful strategies to get a date; data from hundreds of millions of tax records have uncovered the best places to raise children; data from millions of career trajectories have found previously unknown reasons why some rise to the top.Telling fascinating, unexpected stories with these numbers and the latest big data research, Stephens-Davidowitz exposes that, while we often think we know how to better ourselves, the numbers disagree. Hard facts and figures consistently contradict our instincts and demonstrate self-help that actually works-whether it involves the best time in life to start a business or how happy it actually makes us to skip a friend's birthday party for a night of Netflix on the couch. From the boring careers that produce the most wealth, to the old-school, data-backed relationship advice so well-worn it's become a literal joke, he unearths the startling conclusions that the right data can teach us about who we are and what will make our lives better.Lively, engrossing, and provocative, the end result opens up a new world of self-improvement made possible with massive troves of data. Packed with fresh, entertaining insights, Don't Trust Your Gut redefines how to tackle our most consequential choices, one that hacks the market inefficiencies of life and leads us to make smarter decisions about how to improve our lives. Because in the end, the numbers don't lie.
