"The most brilliant and lucid analysis of virtue and well-being in the entire literature of positive psychology. For the reader who seeks to understand happiness, my advice is: Begin with Haidt." —Martin E.P. Seligman, University of Pennsylvania and author of Authentic HappinessThe Happiness Hypothesis is a book about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the world's civilizations—to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives and illuminate the causes of human flourishing.Award-winning psychologist Jonathan Haidt shows how a deeper understanding of the world's philosophical wisdom and its enduring maxims—like "do unto others as you would have others do unto you," or "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"—can enrich and transform our lives.

In this volume, the award-winning photographer Cristina García Rodero presents the images she took in Lalibela, an Ethiopian World-Heritage city of the eleventh century, which is a holy city and an important pilgrimage site for the Coptic Christians of Ethiopia. They are black-and-white images that bear García Rodero's unmistakable mark. The viewer is captivated by the intense spirituality and the vibrant protagonism of the human body as it engages in religious rites, as captured by the photographer. In García Rodero's own words: "For years, I've been trying to complete two facets of my work in which I always think jointly: body and spirit." In Lalibela, the author photographs the Coptic celbrations of Epipheny and Easter, portraying the Coptic Ethiopians, their rituals and the vehement religiosity of their praying bodies.

Po konci výmarské republiky nacisté jasně hlásali snahu maskulinizovat život v Německu. Ženy se měly stát věrnými manželkami v domácnosti a rodit další árijské bojovníky. Přesto se mnohé z nich aktivně zapojily do politického života a dále šířily a propagovaly Hitlerovy myšlenky a zastávaly i další důležité posty. Do roku 1944 tvořily ženy podstatnou část zaměstnanců gestapa, v koncentračních táborech sloužilo mnoho dozorkyň, které krutostí často překonávaly i své mužské kolegy, a část zdravotních sester se zapojila do programu eutanázie těch občanů, kteří nevyhovovali požadavkům árijské dokonalosti. A jestliže zmíníme důležité postavy třetí říše, nesmíme zapomínat na manželky a milenky nacistických pohlavárů, jež často hrály významnější roli, než se na první pohled zdá.

Autor : Thomas Leoncini, František Papež, Popis : Italský publicista Thomas Leoncini ve své knize přináší rozhovor s papežem Františkem. Je svědectvím toho, že i přes svůj vysoký věk zůstává papež mladý duchem a plný naděje. V upřímném a naprosto otevřeném rozhovoru se nám odhaluje muž, jenž s otevřeným srdcem naslouchá těžkostem mladé generace i celé naší společnosti a kterému tyto problémy rozhodně nejsou lhostejné. Citlivě, ale i s nakažlivým elánem a humorným nadhledem vypráví o svých životních zkušenostech, o bolesti i o naději, s níž se dívá na nezhojené rány naší společnosti.Rozhovor jde přímočaře k jádru věci, dotýká se těch nejpalčivějších problémů dneška, jakými jsou korupce, využívání mladých lidí, ekologická krize, nukleární nebezpečí či otázka migrace. František hovoří bez obalu o problémech naší vykořeněné společnosti, touze po moci, zastrašování a zotročování slabších, šikaně, sociálních sítích, nejrůznějších závislostech i nutnosti dialogu mezi mladou a starší generací. Zamýšlí se nad vztahem dnešního člověka k Bohu, dotýká se tématu viny a odpuštění, zdůrazňuje potřebu milosrdenství a pokorného naslouchání. Celým rozhovorem se jako Ariadnina nit táhne naděje, pokora, víra v mladou generaci a v možnost obnovy – Františkova slova burcují, ale současně říkají: „nic není ztraceno“.Druh sortimentu : Kniha, Název : Bůh je mladý, Jazyk : Čeština, Počet strán : 112

"Rough, tough, combative . . . a passionately felt, deeply poetic book."--Edwin Way Teale, The New York Times Book Review "This is not primarily a book about the desert," writes Edward Abbey in his introduction. "In recording my impressions of the natural scene I have striven above all for accuracy, since I believe that there is a kind of poetry, even a kind of truth, in simple fact. But the desertis a vast world, an oceanic world, as deep in its way and complex and various as the sea. Language makes a mighty loose net with which to go fishing for simple facts, when facts are infinite. If a man knew enough he could write a whole book about the juniper tree. Not juniper trees in general but that one particular juniper tree which grows from a ledge of naked sandstone near the old entrance to Arches National Monument. What I have tried to do then is something a bit

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction. As every schoolboy knows, you can fit the whole of England on the Isle of White. Grotesque, visionary tycoon Sir Jack Pitman takes the saying literally and does exactly that. He constructs on the island 'The Project', a vast heritage centre containing everything 'English', from Big Ben to Stonehenge, from Manchester United to the white cliffs of Dover. The project is monstrous, risky, and vastly successful. In fact, it gradually begins to rival 'Old' England and even threatens to supersede it. One of Barnes's finest and funniest novels, England, England calls into question the idea of replicas, truth vs fiction, reality vs art, nationhood, myth-making, and self-exploration.
