2. Depphjärnan - Anders Hansen
|
|||
|
Succéförfattaren och psykiatern Anders Hansen är tillbaka med en ny bok om hjärnan, där han reder ut varför vi mår så dåligt när vi har det så bra. Det är lätt att tro att man har en trasig hjärna när man mår psykiskt dåligt, men ångest och depressioner är naturliga tillstånd och kvarlevor från urminnes tider då vi riskerade att dö av svält och infektioner. Vi är inte gjorda för att jämt vara glada och lyckliga – om så vore hade våra förfäder inte överlevt särskilt länge. Anders Hansen visar här hur vårt mående fungerar och ingjuter samtidigt hopp om att vi visst kan må bra i dagens uppskruvade och uppkopplade samhälle. För att lyckas behöver vi ta bättre hand om vår hjärna – och vår kropp – och kanske också sluta att ständigt jaga efter lyckan. |

Return to the hauntingly beautiful world of archangels in New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh's captivating Guild Hunter series. Illium and Aodhan. Aodhan and Illium. For centuries they've been inseparable: the best of friends, closer than brothers, companions of the heart. But that was before-before darkness befell Aodhan and shattered him, body, mind, and soul. Now, at long last, Aodhan is healing, but his new-found strength and independence may come at a devastating cost-his relationship with Illium. As they serve side by side in China, a territory yet marked by the evil of its former archangel, the secret it holds nightmarish beyond imagining, things come to an explosive decision point. Illium and Aodhan must either walk away from the relationship that has defined them-or step forward into a future that promises a bond infinitely precious in the life of an immortal . . . but that demands a terrifying vulnerability from two badly bruised hearts. |

The Times 'A contemporary version of the knight in shining armour . . . Reacher is a mythic figure.' Literary Review 'Jack Reacher is a wonderfully epic hero; tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable... Irresistible.' People 'Jack Reacher has long since earned his prominent place in the pantheon of cool, smart-talking American heroes.' New York Times |

From #1 bestselling author Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson comes the second of three Skyward series novellas, each told from the perspective of a different member of the team back on Detritus. Read Alanik's story between Starsight and Cytonic . “Don’t trust their lies. Don’t trust their false peace.” That is the warning that Alanik of the planet ReDawn gave the human pilot Spensa after Alanik’s ship crash-landed on Detritus. While accepting an invitation to meet with her people’s enemy, the Galactic Superiority, Alanik heard Spensa’s cry for help across the vastness of space, and she used her cytonic powers to hyperjump her ship to the source of that cry. What she found there was a shock—a whole planet of free humans fighting against the Superiority. Were they the allies her people desperately needed?   When she recovered from her injuries and met the friendly humans Jorgen and FM of Skyward Flight, she found that her warning to Spensa had gone unheeded by the government of Detritus, and they were considering a peace overture from the Superiority. Now having returned to ReDawn, Alanik is dismayed to learn that her own people are falling into the exact same trap.   The faction in ReDawn’s government that wants to appease the Superiority has gained the upper hand. With Alanik’s mentor, Renakin captured, she has no one to turn to but Jorgen, FM, and their friend Rig. An ancient technology may have the power to save both of their planets from disaster, but can they discover its secrets before it’s too late?   Praise for Skyward An Instant New York Times Bestseller A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year    • "Startling revelations and stakes-raising implications . . . Sanderson plainly had a ball with this nonstop, highflying opener, and readers will too." — Kirkus Reviews , starred review    • "With this action-packed trilogy opener, Sanderson offers up a resourceful, fearless heroine and a memorable cast." — Publishers Weekly , starred review    • "It is impossible to turn the pages fast enough." — Booklist |

|
Jessica Martin is not a nice girl. As Prom Queen and Captain of the cheer squad, she'd ruled her school mercilessly, looking down her nose at everyone she deemed unworthy. The most unworthy of them all? The "freak," Manson Reed: her favorite victim. But a lot changes after high school. A freak like him never should have ended up at the same Halloween party as her. He never should have been able to beat her at a game of Drink or Dare. He never should have been able to humiliate her in front of everyone. Losing the game means taking the dare: a dare to serve Manson for the entire night as his slave. It's a dare that Jessica's pride - and curiosity - won't allow her to refuse. What ensues is a dark game of pleasure and pain, fear and desire. Is it only a game? Only revenge? Only a dare? Or is it something more?

This book contains intense fantasy scenes of hard kinks/edgeplay (including CNC play, knifeplay, humiliation and group play), graphic sex, and harsh language. The activities depicted in this book are not meant to be realistic depictions of BDSM or safe kink play, this is strictly a work of fiction.

12. Hypnotisören - Black edition - Lars Kepler
|
|||
|
2009 inledde kriminalromanen Hypnotisören ett av Skandinaviens mest framgångsrika författarskap någonsin. Denna labyrintiska thriller som börjar med att Joona Linna tar hjälp av hypnotisören Erik Maria Bark för att förhöra ett svårt skadat vittne har hittills kommit ut i sextio länder. Nu har författarna skrivit om Hypnotisören för att fira 10-årsjubileet. Meningen är att Black Edition ska återspegla hur mycket Lars Kepler har utvecklats som thrillerförfattare sedan debuten. Tempot har pressats upp, kapitlen har stramats till, dialogen är omskriven, nya scener har tillkommit och Joona Linna har fått en större roll. Om du redan har läst Hypnotisören, men har lust att återvända, kommer du att uppleva skillnaden även om grundberättelsen förstås är densamma. Om du inte har läst Hypnotisören är det denna version du ska välja. Black Edition är den nya officiella Hypnotisören. |
13. Humble Pi - Matt Parker
|

|
**The First Ever Maths Book to be a No.1 Bestseller** 'Wonderful ... superb' Daily Mail What makes a bridge wobble when it's not meant to? Billions of dollars mysteriously vanish into thin air? A building rock when its resonant frequency matches a gym class leaping to Snap's 1990 hit I've Got The Power ? The answer is maths. Or, to be precise, what happens when maths goes wrong in the real world. As Matt Parker shows us, our modern lives are built on maths: computer programmes, finance, engineering. And most of the time this maths works quietly behind the scenes, until ... it doesn't. Exploring and explaining a litany of glitches, near-misses and mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries, the Roman empire and a hapless Olympic shooting team, Matt Parker shows us the bizarre ways maths trips us up, and what this reveals about its essential place in our world. Mathematics doesn't have good 'people skills', but we would all be better off, he argues, if we saw it as a practical ally. This book shows how, by making maths our friend, we can learn from its pitfalls. It also contains puzzles, challenges, geometric socks, jokes about binary code and three deliberate mistakes. Getting it wrong has never been more fun. |
14. Judarnas historia i Sverige - Carl Henrik Carlsson
|
|||
|
Göteborgsvitsen, Barnens dag, Gustav Adolfsbakelsen, skolämnet slöjd och musiken till Idas sommarvisa alla är de exempel på företeelser som uppfattas som typiskt svenska men som i själva verket är skapade av svenska judar. För att inte tala om alla övriga avtryck gjorda av judiska konstnärer, författare, politiker och skådespelare. Om dem och många andra handlar den här boken. Judar har fått bo permanent i Sverige sedan 1770-talet utan att behöva konvertera till kristendomen, även om det länge fanns många restriktioner. Den förhållandevis lilla befolkningsgruppen har alltid varit heterogen med stora socioekonomiska, kulturella och religiösa skillnader. Integrationen har i stort sett varit mycket lyckad. Intresset för och forskning om judarnas historia i Sverige har ökat avsevärt under de senaste decennierna, men ett översiktsverk har länge saknats. I den här boken ges en sådan helhetsbild. Vi möter enskilda judar men får också veta hur judiska församlingar och andra organisationer vuxit fram och relaterat till det omgivande majoritetssamhället det har ständigt gällt att försöka hålla balansen mellan tradition, förnyelse och anpassning och att förhålla sig till den ständigt närvarande antisemitismen. |

Kanske är det så att spöken föds ur hemligheter. Artonåriga Kasper har gått igenom en svår tid, men nu har han fått sitt drömjobb på nöjesfältet Gröna Lund. Där möter han Iris som lär honom hur man skrämmer skiten ur spökhusets besökare. Trettio år tidigare, i åttiotalets Stockholm, förändras livet för sextonåriga Håkan när han lär känna Grim. De lever och andas musik och har stora planer för sitt death metal-band. Allt går i kras när Grim dör, och Håkan lägger ner bandet. Vad var det egentligen som hände? Kasper, som är Håkans son, försöker ta reda på det. Tillsammans med Iris nystar han i de myter som omger bandet och hans pappas bästa vän. Grim, som dog så ung, helt oförklarligt. Vem var han? Och varför visar han sig i Kaspers drömmar? Grim är en gotisk spänningsroman som utspelar sig i samma Stockholm som den hyllade Norra Latin. Det är en berättelse om ensamhet och gemenskap, vänskap och familj, och konstens livsomvälvande krafter. |

17. Pan - Paul Robichaud
|
|||
|
From ancient myth to contemporary art and literature, a beguiling look at the many incarnations of the mischievous—and culturally immortal—god Pan. Pan—he of the cloven hoof and lustful grin, beckoning through the trees. From classical myth to modern literature, film, and music, the god Pan has long fascinated and terrified the western imagination. “Panic” is the name given to the peculiar feeling we experience in his presence. Still, the ways in which Pan has been imagined have varied wildly—fitting for a god whose very name the ancients confused with the Greek word meaning “all.” Part-goat, part-man, Pan bridges the divide between the human and animal worlds. In exquisite prose, Paul Robichaud explores how Pan has been imagined in mythology, art, literature, music, spirituality, and popular culture through the centuries. At times, Pan is a dangerous, destabilizing force; sometimes, a source of fertility and renewal. His portrayals reveal shifting anxieties about our own animal impulses and our relationship to nature. Always the outsider, he has been the god of choice for gay writers, occult practitioners, and New Age mystics. And although ancient sources announced his death, he has lived on through the work of Arthur Machen, Gustav Mahler, Kenneth Grahame, D. H. Lawrence, and countless others. Pan: The Great God’s Modern Return traces his intoxicating dance. |
18. Set the Night on Fire - Robby Krieger
|
|||
|
Few bands are as shrouded in the murky haze of rock mythology as The Doors, and parsing fact from fiction has been a virtually impossible task. But now, after fifty years, The Doors' notoriously quiet guitarist is finally breaking his silence to set the record straight. Through a series of vignettes, Robby takes readers back to where it all happened: the pawn shop where he bought his first guitar; the jail cell he was tossed into after a teenage drug bust; his parents' living room where his first songwriting sessions with Jim Morrison took place; and the many concert venues that erupted into historic riots. Robby also goes into heartbreaking detail about his life's most difficult struggles, ranging from drug addiction to cancer, but he balances out the sorrow with humorous anecdotes about run-ins with unstable fans, famous musicians, and one really angry monk. SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE is at once an insightful time capsule of 1960s counterculture and a moving reflection on what it means to find oneself as a musician. It's not only a must-read for Doors fans, but an essential volume of American pop culture history. |

20. The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up - Beatrice Chestnut
|
|||
|
"An Outstanding book that offers precise steps to take to wake up to the self-limiting habits of your personality, get out of your own way, and give yourself the gift of accessing more of your higher – more authentic – self." —Ian Cron, author of The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery A fresh approach to the Enneagram that encourages readers to embark on their own hero’s journey for transformation. This is a personal transformation book rooted in the wisdom of the Enneagram system of personality types. It is a book about waking up and growing into the best version of yourself. It is a book that shows you how to discover who you are and what you can be. It is a book about finding your path, facing your shadow, and discovering your true self. It is a good news–bad news–good news story. The good news: you survived childhood. The bad news: in order to grow, you are going to experience some pain. The really good news: you can use your negative habits as a springboard to move beyond them. With a commitment to self-observation and reflection, you can develop greater self-awareness and open yourself up to a life filled with exciting choices and opportunities. Each of the nine chapters includes these features: • The problematic perspective, the process of self-discovery, and the path forward for that type • How the main issues for that type get played out in 3 different ways—the 3 distinct sub-types of the main type (necessary for pinpoint accuracy in describing your personality and your path of growth) Chestnut and Paes, two leading Enneagram teachers, frame this approach to personality types in a way that is accessible, practical, and filled with possibility. “An outstanding book that offers precise steps to take to wake up to the self-limiting habits of your personality, get out of your own way, and give yourself the gift of accessing more of your higher—more authentic—self.” — Ian Morgan Cron , author, The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery    "While there are many new books and podcasts about the Enneagram these days, most of them are simply describing the nine types--sometimes in amusing ways, but often as simple stereotypes. It takes many years to really master this material, and Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes have done so. In The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up , they provide lucid descriptions of the types, but also guide the reader beyond this to an understanding of the original purpose of the Enneagram work. They offer wonderful, clear insights and practices that will help you find your dominant type as well as the crucial teachings of what to do with this knowledge. They present accessible methods for transforming your life and 'waking up' as the title suggests. Beatrice and Uranio are true leaders and pioneers in the field of Enneagram studies, and I highly recommend this book to those seeking a deeper understanding of these powerful teachings." — Russ Hudson , author of The Enneagram: Nine Gateways to Presence , and co-author of The Wisdom of the Enneagram   About the Authors: Beatrice Chestnut, PhD, MA, is a licensed psychotherapist, coach, and business consultant based in San Francisco specializing in integrating the Enneagram in supporting personal and professional development. She offers trainings and retreats based on the Enneagram internationally. Uranio Paes, MM, is internationally recognized as a leading Enneagram facilitator, coach, and organization development consultant. He is the founder and CEO of Mundo Eneagrama/CP Online, a global Enneagram learning community. Together they cofounded the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy.

23. Frame Innovation - Kees Dorst
|
|||
|
How organizations can use practices developed by expert designers to solve today's open, complex, dynamic, and networked problems. When organizations apply old methods of problem-solving to new kinds of problems, they may accomplish only temporary fixes or some ineffectual tinkering around the edges. Today's problems are a new breed—open, complex, dynamic, and networked—and require a radically different response. In this book, Kees Dorst describes a new, innovation-centered approach to problem-solving in organizations: frame creation. It applies “design thinking,” but it goes beyond the borrowed tricks and techniques that usually characterize that term. Frame creation focuses not on the generation of solutions but on the ability to create new approaches to the problem situation itself. The strategies Dorst presents are drawn from the unique, sophisticated, multilayered practices of top designers, and from insights that have emerged from fifty years of design research. Dorst describes the nine steps of the frame creation process and illustrates their application to real-world problems with a series of varied case studies. He maps innovative solutions that include rethinking a store layout so retail spaces encourage purchasing rather than stealing, applying the frame of a music festival to understand late-night problems of crime and congestion in a club district, and creative ways to attract young employees to a temporary staffing agency. Dorst provides tools and methods for implementing frame creation, offering not so much a how-to manual as a do-it-yourself handbook—a guide that will help practitioners develop their own approaches to problem-solving and creating innovation. |
24. El árbol de la lengua - Lola Pons Rodríguez
|
|||
|
¿Utilizamos anglicismos porque suenan más modernos, porque son más concretos o para ocultar realidades incómodas? ¿Suenan bullying , mobbing o minijob más inofensivos que "acoso escolar", "acoso laboral" o "empleo precario"? ¿Cuánto dice el diminutivo que usas sobre el lugar al que perteneces? Si la hache es muda, ¿por qué no es inútil? ¿Cuánto nos enseñan los nombres de los colores sobre nuestros prejuicios lingüísticos? ¿Por qué todos hablamos como mínimo un dialecto?   Preguntas como estas se formula e intenta responder Lola Pons en su nuevo libro El árbol de la lengua . La autora defiende que la pureza lingüística es tan peligrosa como la pureza racial, que la palabra tiene la capacidad tanto de prender como de apagar el fuego, que quien engaña con el discurso va a ser capaz de trampear con las cuentas y las leyes y que los escaños son, por etimología, pero, sobre todo, por lo que implica ser político, un asiento para compartir.    El árbol de la lengua es un libro delicioso e inteligente dirigido a aquellos que no confunden pedantería con riqueza lingüística, ni imprecisión con llaneza. Aquellos que no se conforman con el cliché de que el cuidado lingüístico sea políticamente conservador y que la creatividad lingüística sea políticamente progresista; y aquellos que entienden, en definitiva, que la lengua que no cambie será la próxima dueña del cementerio.      "Un libro delicioso sobre las fascinantes aventuras de nuestra lengua. Amenísima y brillante divulgación".  Rosa Montero   |
25. The Way of Bach - Dan Moller
|
|||
|
A tale of passion and obsession from a philosophy professor who learns to play Bach on the piano as an adult. Dan Moller grew up listening to heavy metal in teh Boston suburbs.  But one day, something shifted when he dug out his mother's record of  The Art of the Fugue,  inexplicably wedged between ABBA's greatest hits and Kenny Rogers.  Moller was fixated on Bach ever since.   In  The Way of Bach,  he   draws us into fresh and often improbably hilarious things about Bach and his music.  Did you know the  Goldberg Variations  contain a song about his mom cooking too much cabbage? Just what is so special about Bach’s music? Why does it continue to resonate even today? What can modern Americans—steeped in pop culture—can learn from European craftsmanship? And, because it is Bach, why do some people see a connection between music and God? By turn witty and though-provoking, Moller infuses  The Way of Bach  with philosophical considerations about how music and art enable us to contemplate life's biggest questions. |

I München indkvarterer hun sig hos Gerhards tyske officerskollega Klaus og hans danske kone, Gudrun. Klaus er generalløjtnant i Luftwaffe, og ægteparret tilhører den nazistiske overklasse.

Kirsten Thorups INDTIL VANVID, INDTIL DØDEN er en roman om kærlighedens og krigens galskab. Et portræt af en kvinde, som for enhver pris vil være loyal mod sin mand, men insisterer på  at forholde sig neutral til nazismen – alt imens vold, angst  og modstand spreder sig på den indre front: kvindernes og børnenes krig. |

|
From acclaimed author Mindee Arnett comes the thrilling conclusion of the stunningly epic, action-packed fantasy adventure that’s been called “a page-turning blend of monsters, magic, and romance” by Susan Dennard, the New York Times bestselling author of Truthwitch. They call her the Wilder Queen. It’s a title given to Kate Brighton for her role in the war between the wilder rebellion and the Rimish empire. It’s a title that was hard earned: Kate may have saved her people, but many were lost in the conflict, immortalized in the tattoos of fire that grace her arms. And it’s a title that Kate never wanted. The rebellion may have made a home for themselves in a country that wants to cast them out, but the peace will never be safe while Edwin, the illegitimate king of Rime, sits upon its throne. And for that, the Wilder Queen must keep hers. Now war is brewing once again. Kate and her allies receive word of a threat to their ambassador in the Rimish capital; meanwhile, across the channel in Seva, an army is being assembled to conquer Rime—and a prisoner slave named Clash may hold the key to ending the conflict once and for all. As enemies close in on Kate and Clash from all sides, they must choose where their loyalties lie—with their people, with their loved ones, or with themselves. The epic story that began with Onyx & Ivory comes to a stunning conclusion as acclaimed author Mindee Arnett throws readers into a beautiful, terrifying world poised on a razor’s edge in its struggle for survival. |

34. Chevy - Amanda Tartt

|
”Too fucking hot”, sa han och vred upp skruvkorken på vattenflaskan också. Han vände ansiktet uppåt och lät vattnet rinna över huvudet, ned över halsen och bröstet innan det fortsatte in under snickarbyxorna. ”Too fucking good”, sa han när han knäppte upp spännena strax nedanför axlarna och lät framsidan falla ned över skrevet. Sanna kunde se att han sneglade på henne. När han såg att hon lagt märke till hans blick, gav han henne en blinkning som kanske inte var helt oskyldig, eller så spelade han med henne, drev med den lust han måste ha sett i hennes ögon. |

Huden under linningen var fortfarande sval, badbyxorna hade inte hunnit torka helt. Där skulle han i och för sig inte behöva något solskydd, men det brydde hon sig inte om. Hon fortsatte så länge hon fick. Hon såg sig omkring, men där fanns ingen som såg dem, ingen som tittade åt deras håll. Sanna kände sina bröstvårtor styvna och en kall vindpust verkade träffa henne just i bröstet. Hon rös till och kände att hon blev fuktig mellan benen. Som tur var, var bikinins underdel fortfarande blöt, så ingen skulle märka någonting. |
36. 1918 - Per T Ohlsson
|
|||
|
Det var året då allt hade kunnat gå galet. Ute i Europa rasade första världskriget, det neutrala Sverige var avspärrat och livsmedelsbristen skriande. Ransoneringarna hårdnade. I Ryssland hade Lenins bolsjeviker gripit makten, i Finland utkämpades ett grymt inbördeskrig och i Tyskland reste sig en krigstrött befolkning medan amerikanska soldater vällde in över västfronten. En ny tid randades. Samtidigt närmade sig striden för allmän och lika rösträtt ett slutligt avgörande. Vänstern drev på, högern stretade emot. Om detta spänningsfyllda år, kanske det mest dramatiska i Sveriges historia, berättar Per T Ohlsson månad för månad om händelserna, konflikterna och personerna. Luften dallrade av revolutionära stämningar. På hösten var läget så nervöst att slutstyckena avlägsnades ur värnpliktiga soldaters gevär och kung Gustaf V förberedde sig på att fly landet. Och mitt i detta politiska drama svepte spanska sjukans lie över land och folk. När året var till ända hade 27 000 svenskar dukat under för den värsta influensaepidemin någonsin. Ändå slutade 1918 med en fredlig revolution under ordnade former. Besinningen segrade till sist. I december fattade en nästan enig riksdag beslut om allmän och lika rösträtt för män och kvinnor. Efter flera decenniers kamp vek sig rösträttens motståndare för trycket utifrån och inifrån. Det var demokratins genombrott. På område efter område – politiken, kulturen, arbetsmarknaden, jämställdheten, näringslivet – tog landet viktiga kliv mot det öppna välfärdssamhälle som vi tar för givet idag: 1918 var året då Sverige blev Sverige. |
37. A World Restored - Henry Kissinger
|
|||
|
Originally published in 1957—years before he was Secretary of State and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize—, Henry Kissinger wrote A World Restored, to understand and explain one of history’s most important and dramatic periods; a time when Europe went from political chaos to a balanced peace that lasted for almost a hundred years. After the fall of Napoleon, European diplomats gathered in a festive Vienna with the task of restoring stability following the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. The central figures at the Congress of Vienna were the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom, Viscount Castlereagh and the Foreign Minister of Austria Klemens Wenzel von Mettern Metternich. Castlereagh was primarily concerned with maintaining balanced powers, while Metternich based his diplomacy on the idea of legitimacy—that is, establishing and working with governments that citizens accept without force. The peace they brokered lasted until the outbreak of World War I. Through trenchant analysis of the history and forces that create stability, A World Restored gives insight into how to create long-lasting geopolitical peace-lessons that Kissinger saw as applicable to the period immediately following World War II, when he was writing this book. But the lessons don’t stop there. Like all good insights, the book’s wisdom transcends any single political period. Kissinger’s understanding of coalitions and balance of power can be applied to personal and professional situations, such as dealing with a tyrannical boss or co-worker or formulating business or organizational tactics. Regardless of his ideology, Henry Kissinger has had an important impact on modern politics and few would dispute his brilliance as a strategist. For anyone interested in Western history, the tactics of diplomacy, or political strategy, this volume will provide deep understanding of a pivotal time. |

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS In 2002, the world changes forever. Every man, every boy, every mammal with a Y chromosome everywhere on Earth suddenly collapses and dies. With the loss of nearly half the planet’s population, the gears of society grind to a halt, and a world of women is left to pick up the pieces and try to keep civilization from collapsing entirely. The “gendercide,” however, is not absolutely complete. For some unknown reason, one young man named Yorick Brown and his pet male monkey, Ampersand, are spared. Overnight, this anonymous twenty-something becomes the most important person on the planet - the key, it is hoped, to unlocking the secret of the mysterious sex-specific plague. For Yorick himself, the cause of the epidemic is less important than the fate of his beloved fiancée, Beth. Now, after nearly four years and countless grueling miles, the final answers are about to be revealed-and the truth may be more than any man could bear. In the conclusion to their acclaimed VERTIGO series Y: THE LAST MAN, writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra bring to vivid life the age-old speculation: What would really happen to the last man on Earth? Collects Y: THE LAST MAN #49-60. |
39. A Hole in My Life. Battling Chronic Dizziness. - Philippa Thomson
|
|||
|
In 1995 an American doctor made the astonishing discovery that some people actually had holes in their heads. And many of them could even hear their own eyes moving. Years later, it transpired that Philippa Thomson was one of them. Embarking on a much-needed weekend of respite from the care of her disabled son, Thomson's life is turned upside down when the flight triggers an unusual disorder. With symptoms as disturbing and wide-ranging as the sound of her eyes moving, her heartbeat pounding and pulse whooshing in her ear, brain fog and debilitating dizziness, can she adapt her well-honed research skills to medical sleuthing, and obtain a diagnosis within a health system that is failing her at every turn? A HOLE IN MY LIFE chronicles Thomson's extraordinary series of medical challenges which she meets with resilience, courage and determination. She deftly guides the reader through fascinating information, putting her condition within the context of all inner ear and balance disorders, and with a fast-moving narrative, sparkling with warmth and humour, she recounts a series of incidents with doctors up and down the country which will enlighten, amuse and sometimes shock. This page-turner, told with suspense and style, is a must-read for anyone who has ever been, or will be, a patient. Getting the diagnosis after four gruelling years was just the start - surely things could only get better when she sought rescue across the Atlantic? After two brain surgeries miles away from home, a vital missing piece of the puzzle is at last identified. If you like compelling prose and emotional true stories, you'll love reading Philippa Thomson's incredible battle, one that maddened, strengthened and ultimately healed her. It is also the first personal account of this intriguing inner ear disorder, which latest estimates suggest affects as many as one in a thousand, and yet hardly anyone has heard of it. Buy A HOLE IN MY LIFE to absorb yourself in the remarkable tale. "Philippa's eloquent account reminds us never to give up, to keep up the search for people who not only wish to help you but genuinely care about you. A wonderful resource for all those who care about the importance of human experience in medicine." Dr Jacek Mostwin, John Hopkins Institutions. "This fantastic memoir is so lovely and personable. I particularly enjoyed Philippa's ability to intertwine the challenges she had gone through with the details of her personal life. It is written with wonderful balance." Janet Hansen, designer. "A compelling account of awe-inspiring resilience, courage and determination, in the face of an extraordinary series of medical challenges. The resulting story is full of important information, information offered in the words of a delightful and engaging individual." Harriet Spicer, business coach and founder member of Virago Press. |

43. Lying - Sam Harris & Annaka Harris
|
|||
|
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption—even murder and genocide—generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie. In Lying , best-selling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie. He focuses on "white" lies—those lies we tell for the purpose of sparing people discomfort—for these are the lies that most often tempt us. And they tend to be the only lies that good people tell while imagining that they are being good in the process. |
44. Mumbo Jumbo - Ishmael Reed
|
|||
|
Ishmael Reed’s inspired fable of the ragtime era, in which a social movement threatens to suppress the spread of black culture—hailed by Harold Bloom as one of the five hundred greatest books of the Western canon In 1920s America, a plague is spreading fast. From New Orleans to Chicago to New York, the “Jes Grew” epidemic makes people desperate to dance, overturning social norms in the process. Anyone is vulnerable and when they catch it, they’ll bump and grind into a frenzy. Working to combat the Jes Grew infection are the puritanical Atonists, a group bent on cultivating a “Talking Android,” an African American who will infiltrate the unruly black communities and help crush the outbreak. But PaPa LaBas, a  houngan  voodoo priest, is determined to keep his ancient culture—including a key spiritual text—alive.   Spanning a dizzying host of genres, from cinema to academia to mythology,  Mumbo Jumbo  is a lively ride through a key decade of American history. In addition to ragtime, blues, and jazz, Reed’s allegory draws on the Harlem Renaissance, the Back to Africa movement, and America’s occupation of Haiti. His style throughout is as avant-garde and vibrant as the music at its center. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Ishmael Reed including rare images of the author. |

|

|
Öka din sociala förmåga, gör ett starkare intryck, påverka andras tankar!Konsten att läsa tankar är en humoristisk, insiktsrik handbok om hur man med psykologisk manipulation, sociala tekniker och förmåga att avläsa subtila ickeverbala signaler kan förstå andra människors tankar, känslor och verkliga åsikter. Boken innehåller såväl fantastiska demonstrationer som massor av praktiska exempel.    Vem vill inte besitta dessa kunskaper? Se när någon ljuger. Hur man flörtar på rätt sätt. Få andra att lyssna på oss och dessutom köpa våra idéer. Vända motstånd och förakt till medhåll och respekt. Hjälpa upp en god vän ur höstdepressionen. Tankeläsningstricks att imponera på dina vänner med. Författaren Henrik Fexeus har slipat sina färdigheter i tankeläsning, suggestion och manipulation under flera år som populär underhållare med showen ”Mind Melt” och som föredragshållare i praktisk kommunikation.   Hållning, tonfall, tempo, blickar, handrörelser etc. berättar alltid något om vad en människa känner. Och inte sällan går de stick i stäv med det budskap som uttrycks i ord. Genom att lära sig se och tyda dessa signaler kan vi alltså avslöja vad en människa tänker på. Och i nästa steg påverka den personens tankar och åsikter åt det håll vi vill.    Konkret nytta av Konsten att läsa tankar har du på anställningsintervjun, på första dejten, i kontakt med myndigheter, när du vill sälja in ett förslag till chefen på jobbet – egentligen i alla sammanhang där du vill få igenom idéer och kunna påverka.   Visste du till exempel att någon som ljuger ofta gör omedvetna rörelser med händerna, men sällan flackar med blicken vilket ju är det mest kända tecknet på lögn? Att ökad pupillstorlek kan vara tecken på att man är omtyckt, till och med på attraktion? Eller att ett leende i ena mungipan kan vara tecken på förakt, men också tecken på att personen förstod att du skämtade?Henrik Fexeus har under de senaste åren såväl roat som oroat, provocerat och underhållt tusentals personer med sin show Mind Melt samt föreläsningen Konsten Att Läsa Tankar om icke-verbal kommuniaktion i vardagen. Genom att använda färdigheter inom ickeverbal kommunikation, kroppsspråk, psykologisk manipulation och påverkan har han givit en ny innebörd åt ordet tankeläsning. |

|
The #1 New York Times bestselling sequel to Words of Radiance , from epic fantasy author Brandon Sanderson at the top of his game. In Oathbringer , the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe with numbers as great as their thirst for vengeance. Dalinar Kholin’s Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified. Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar’s blood-soaked past and stand together—and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past—even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization.

51. Prince of Thorns - Mark Lawrence
|
|||
|
From the publisher that brought you Game of Thrones… Prince of Thorns is the first volume in a powerful epic fantasy trilogy, original, absorbing and challenging. Before the thorns taught me their sharp lessons and bled weakness from me I had but one brother, and I loved him well. But those days are gone and what is left of them lies in my mother's tomb. Now I have many brothers, quick with knife and sword, and as evil as you please. We ride this broken empire and loot its corpse. They say these are violent times, the end of days when the dead roam and monsters haunt the night. All that's true enough, but there's something worse out there, in the dark. Much worse. From being a privileged royal child, raised by a loving mother, Jorg Ancrath has become the Prince of Thorns, a charming, immoral boy leading a grim band of outlaws in a series of raids and atrocities. The world is in chaos: violence is rife, nightmares everywhere. Jorg has the ability to master the living and the dead, but there is still one thing that puts a chill in him. Returning to his father's castle Jorg must confront horrors from his childhood and carve himself a future with all hands turned against him. Mark Lawrence's debut novel tells a tale of blood and treachery, magic and brotherhood and paints a compelling and brutal, and sometimes beautiful, picture of an exceptional boy on his journey toward manhood and the throne. Reviews ‘An excellent writer.’ George R.R. Martin ‘Dark and relentless, Prince of Thorns will pull you under and drown you in story. A two in the morning page turner. Jaw-dropping’ Robin Hobb ‘This is a lean, cold knife-thrust of a novel, a revenge fantasy anchored on the compelling voice and savage purpose of its titular Prince. There is never a safe moment in Lawrence’s debut’ Robert Redick, author of The Red-Wolf Conspiracy 'Prince of Thorns got hold of me from page one and didn’t let go until I finished it on my second reading session on the second day. There’s humour here, gut-wrenching realism, high adventure, something that might be magic in the story, and certainly is in the telling of it. It was almost as if the shade of David Gemmell had returned, somewhat nastier for the experience. Thoroughly recommended. Thanks Mr Lawrence' Neal Asher 'Prince of Thorns is one of this year’s most anticipated fantasy debuts; and now I know why! It's incredible' civilian-reader.blogspot.com About the author Mark Lawrence is married with four children, one of whom is severely disabled.

"This book is mean and kinky, desperate and romantic...I was consumed." - KC Caron, Goodreads Reviewer Edward Fasbender is a devil. He’s my father's biggest rival. He takes what he wants, and he bows to no one. And now Edward Fasbender wants me. I didn’t expect to want him back. Having him is not in the cards, not when a union with him would destroy my father. But that doesn’t mean I can’t play with him a bit. Except, I’ve never played against such a ruthless opponent. Edward is cold and vicious, and my blood has never run hotter. They say you should choose the devil you know, but I've always preferred long odds. Even if it'll get me slain. “Oh my. I was hooked. You won’t be able to put this down!” - Aleatha Romig, NYT Bestselling Author |
54. The Lies of Locke Lamora - Scott Lynch
|
|||
|
“Remarkable . . . Scott Lynch’s first novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora, exports the suspense and wit of a cleverly constructed crime caper into an exotic realm of fantasy, and the result is engagingly entertaining.”— The Times (London)   An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying.   Praise for The Lies of Locke Lamora   “Fresh, original, and engrossing . . . gorgeously realized.” —George R. R. Martin   “Right now, in the full flush of a second reading, I think The Lies of Locke Lamora is probably in my top ten favorite books ever. Maybe my top five. If you haven’t read it, you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again.” —Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind “A unique fantasy milieu peopled by absorbing, colorful characters . . . Locke’s wit and audacity endear him to victims and bystanders alike.” — The Seattle Times   “A true genre bender, at home on almost any kind of fiction shelf . . . Lynch immediately establishes himself as a gifted and fearless storyteller, unafraid of comparisons to Silverberg and Jordan, not to mention David Liss and even Dickens.” — Booklist (starred review)   “High-octane fantasy . . . a great swashbuckling yarn of a novel.” —Richard Morgan |

Hon kommer på att skolan har en undervisningsgård med djur en bit utanför stan, dit beger hon sig. Och där bygger hon långsamt upp en tillvaro: hon lär sig elda i spisen, mjölka korna, och efter ett tag känns plötsligt allting ganska som vanligt. Även om skuldkänslorna över att ha lämnat sin familj, över att vara ensam kvar, är ständigt närvarande. Det går inte att tänka på. Det går inte heller att inte tänka på. Och hur ser framtiden ut, den långa raden av ensamma dagar? Det blir inte riktigt så illa som Hedvig först trott, en dag kommer en tjej till gården. Hon trodde också hon var ensam kvar. Tillsammans försöker de skapa en tillvaro mitt i den stora ovissheten. Ska det vara så här resten av livet? En dystopisk berättelse som berör och engagerar. |

Winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2016 Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people. He is an office worker with moderate ambitions and mild manners; she is an uninspired but dutiful wife. The acceptable flatline of their marriage is interrupted when Yeong-hye, seeking a more 'plant-like' existence, decides to become a vegetarian, prompted by grotesque recurring nightmares. In South Korea, where vegetarianism is almost unheard-of and societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's decision is a shocking act of subversion. Her passive rebellion manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, leading her bland husband to self-justified acts of sexual sadism. His cruelties drive her towards attempted suicide and hospitalisation. She unknowingly captivates her sister's husband, a video artist. She becomes the focus of his increasingly erotic and unhinged artworks, while spiralling further and further into her fantasies of abandoning her fleshly prison and becoming - impossibly, ecstatically - a tree.Fraught, disturbing and beautiful, The Vegetarian is a novel about modern day South Korea, but also a novel about shame, desire and our faltering attempts to understand others, from one imprisoned body to another. |

70. Dominion - Tom Holland
|
|||
|
'If great books encourage you to look at the world in an entirely new way, then Dominion is a very great book indeed . . . Written with terrific learning, enthusiasm and good humour, Holland's book is not just supremely provocative, but often very funny' Sunday Times History Book of the Year Christianity is the most enduring and influential legacy of the ancient world, and its emergence the single most transformative development in Western history. Even the increasing number in the West today who have abandoned the faith of their forebears, and dismiss all religion as pointless superstition, remain recognisably its heirs. Seen close-up, the division between a sceptic and a believer may seem unbridgeable. Widen the focus, though, and Christianity's enduring impact upon the West can be seen in the emergence of much that has traditionally been cast as its nemesis: in science, in secularism, and yes, even in atheism. That is why Dominion will place the story of how we came to be what we are, and how we think the way that we do, in the broadest historical context. Ranging in time from the Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BC to the on-going migration crisis in Europe today, and from Nebuchadnezzar to the Beatles, it will explore just what it was that made Christianity so revolutionary and disruptive; how completely it came to saturate the mind-set of Latin Christendom; and why, in a West that has become increasingly doubtful of religion's claims, so many of its instincts remain irredeemably Christian. The aim is twofold: to make the reader appreciate just how novel and uncanny were Christian teachings when they first appeared in the world; and to make ourselves, and all that we take for granted, appear similarly strange in consequence. We stand at the end-point of an extraordinary transformation in the understanding of what it is to be human: one that can only be fully appreciated by tracing the arc of its parabola over millennia. |

74. Solve for Happy - Mo Gawdat
|

In this “powerful personal story woven with a rich analysis of what we all seek” (Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google), Mo Gawdat, Chief Business Officer at Google’s [X], applies his superior logic and problem solving skills to understand how the brain processes joy and sadness—and then he solves for happy. In 2001 Mo Gawdat realized that despite his incredible success, he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would: examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, his countless hours of research and science proved successful, and he discovered the equation for permanent happiness. Thirteen years later, Mo’s algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equation—and it saved them from despair. In dealing with the horrible loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of “moonshot” goal that he and his colleagues were always aiming for—he would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible become happier. In Solve for Happy Mo questions some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence, shares the underlying reasons for suffering, and plots out a step-by-step process for achieving lifelong happiness and enduring contentment. He shows us how to view life through a clear lens, teaching us how to dispel the illusions that cloud our thinking; overcome the brain’s blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths. No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials we’ve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future. |

83. Ayn Rand Novel Collection 2 Box Set: Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand
|
|||
|
Two Ayn Rand classics—Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead—together for the first time in a boxed set. Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand’s magnum opus: a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller. It is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world—and did. Was he a destroyer or the greatest of liberators? Why did he have to fight his battle, not against his enemies but against those who needed him most—and his hardest battle against the woman he loved? What is the world's motor—and the motive power of every man? The Fountainhead is the revolutionary literary vision that sowed the seeds of Objectivism, Ayn Rand's groundbreaking philosophy, and brought her immediate worldwide acclaim. This modern classic is the story of intransigent young architect Howard Roark, whose integrity was as unyielding as granite...of Dominique Francon, the exquisitely beautiful woman who loved Roark passionately, but married his worst enemy...and of the fanatic denunciation unleashed by an enraged society against a great creator. As fresh today as it was then, Rand’s provocative novel presents one of the most challenging ideas in all of fiction—that man’s ego is the fountainhead of human progress... |
84. The Mental Game of Trading - Jared Tendler
|
|||
|
A step-by-step system for mastering trading psychology. Think about your most costly and recurring trading mistakes. Chances are that they’re related to common errors, such as chasing price, cutting winners short, forcing mediocre trades, and overtrading. You’ve likely tried to fix these errors by improving your technical skills, and yet they persist. That’s because the real source of these mistakes is not technical—they actually stem from greed, fear, anger, or problems with confidence and discipline.   If you are like most traders, you probably overlook or misunderstand mental and emotional obstacles. Or worse, you might think you know how to manage them, but you don’t, and end up losing control at the worst possible time. You’re leaving too much money on the table, which will either prevent you from being profitable or realizing your potential.   While many trading psychology books offer sound advice, they don’t show you how to do the necessary work. That’s why you haven’t solved the problems hurting your performance. With straight talk and practical solutions, Jared Tendler brings a new voice to trading psychology. In The Mental Game of Trading, he busts myths about emotions, greed, and discipline, and shows you how to look past the obvious to identify the real reasons you’re struggling.   This book is different from anything else on the market. You’ll get a step-by-step system for discovering the cause of your problems and eliminating them once and for all. And through real stories of traders from around the world who have successfully used Tendler’s system, you’ll learn how to tackle your problems, improve your day-to-day performance, and increase your profits.   Whether you’re an independent or institutional trader, and regardless of whether you trade equities, forex, or cryptocurrencies, you can use this system to improve your decision-making and execution. Finally, you have a way to reach your potential as a trader. Now’s the time to make it happen. |

CRAVEN 'This is a crime novel for everyone; for those who love traditional mysteries there are clues, codes and ciphers, but it also had a harder edge and a post-war darkness. Brilliant' ANN CLEEVES A priceless manuscript. A missing scholar. A trail of riddles. For over a century, one of the world's great treasures, a six-hundred-year-old copy of Dante's The Divine Comedy , has been safely housed at Bombay's Asiatic Society.

Uncovering a series of complex riddles written in verse, Persis - together with English forensic scientist Archie Blackfinch - is soon on the trail. But then they discover the first body. As the death toll mounts it becomes evident that someone else is also pursuing this priceless artefact and will stop at nothing to possess it . . . Harking back to an era of darkness, this second thriller in the Malabar House series pits Persis, once again, against her peers, a changing India, and an evil of limitless intent. Gripping, immersive, and full of Vaseem Khan's trademark wit, this is historical fiction at its finest. 'A delicious treat of a historical crime novel' OBSERVER 'Thoroughly enjoyable' DAILY MAIL *** Book one in this series, Midnight at Malabar House , won the CWA Sapere Books Historical Dagger and is an international ebook bestseller. *** 'A wonderful, pacy, literary mystery with a brilliant female protagonist.

95. Tills alla dör - Diamant Salihu
|
|||
|
I Järvaområdet nordväst om Stockholm pågår en konflikt mellan gängen Dödspatrullen och Shottaz. De inblandade själva kallar det för ett krig, och i krig är allt tillåtet. Huvudpersonerna har helt saknat respekt för rättsväsendet, för vuxna, för kriminella hierarkier och för värdet av ett människoliv. Men bortom den spektakulära fasaden av droger, vapen och rapmusik som visas upp på sociala medier hänger frågan obesvarad i luften: Varför mördar ni varandra? Tills alla dör  berättar om en förlorad generation unga män, om människorna som lever i den mest brutala konsekvensen av samhällets svek, och om några som vägrat ge upp hoppet. * OM TILLS ALLA DÖR: ”En djupt imponerande prestation.” Victor Malm, Expressen ”För tankarna till den nya tv-serien Snabba cash. Fast Salihu skalar bort ytan och blottlägger tragedin så att den berör.” Hynek Pallas, GP ”En lärorik bok.” Leif GW Persson "Boken är tveklöst en av mina starkaste läsupplevelser någonsin.” Bilan Osman "En lysande bok, som ringar in problematiken med stor precision." Expressen Ledare "En oumbärlig bok för den som åtminstone vill försöka förstå varför pojkar skjuter varandra.” Sara Martinsson, DN "Diamant Salihu gör inte bara en gedigen och på många sätt banbrytande reporterinsats, han släpper också fram ett personligt tonfall av förtvivlan över en förlorad generation.” Jens Liljestrand, i SVT ”En nödvändig bok för alla som vill förstå dagens svenska samhälle.” Niklas Orrenius ”En av årets viktigaste böcker.” Barometern ”En briljant grävande reporter som också visar sig kunna skriva och berätta en historia.” Jan Gradvall, Di Weekend "Varför? Diamant Salihu låter aldrig hopplösheten han konfronteras med radera ut den frågan. Det är kanske det som imponerar mest i berättelsen om en verklighet som i sin blodiga meningslöshet för tankarna till Shakespeare … Stora Journalistpriset?" Per Svensson, DN * Diamant Salihu  (f. 1983) är grävande journalist. |

97. Närvarande föräldraskap - Tina Payne Bryson & Daniel J. Siegel
|
|||
|
Av New York Times bestseller-författarna bakom succéboken Förstå ditt barns hjärna. Föräldraskap är inte lätt. Men att vara tillgänglig kan vara lätt. Din största betydelse i ditt föräldraskap börjar precis där du är just nu. Vetenskapliga studier har visat att en av de viktigaste faktorerna för hur barn kommer att utvecklas i termer av lycka, framgång i studier, ledaregenskaper och meningsfulla relationer är att åtminstone en vuxen person finns tillgänglig på ett förutsägbart sätt under barnets uppväxt. I en tid med hårdare krav på tidsscheman och när datorer, surfplattor och mobilskärmar kräver ständig uppmärksamhet kan det låta som en oöverstiglig uppgift att vara tillgänglig för sitt barn. Men bokens prisbelönta författare, neuropsykiatrikern Daniel J Siegel och föräldraskapsexperten Tina Payne Bryson, förklarar att tillgänglighet inte kräver särskilt mycket tid, energi eller pengar. Närvarande föräldraskap bygger på den senaste neurovetenskapliga forskningen och vetenskapen om anknytning och innehåller strategier, illustrationer och tips som gör föräldraskapet enklare och hjälper ditt barns hjärna att få bästa möjliga utveckling. "Förutom kunskap om tillgänglighet och närvaro förmedlas också ett centralt och hoppfullt budskap: oavsett din egen historia kan du skapa en trygg anknytning till dina barn. Boken är mycket bra och vänder sig till föräldrar med barn i åldern 0-12 år." / Therese Nordholm, BTJ 2020-11 "Den här boken innehåller föräldraskapets magi och tränger in i kärnan i varje förälders högsta önskan: att uppfostra ett barn som växer upp till en trygg, vuxen person." / Michael Thompson, phd, medförfattare till den klassiska bestsellern Raising Cain |

100. 12 livsregler : ett motgift mot kaos - Jordan B. Peterson
|
|||
|
Vad behöver alla i den moderna världen veta? Psykologen Jordan B. Peterson har influerat miljontals människor över hela världen med sina utmanande och originella tankar om de största frågorna och han har gjort det genom att prata om ämnen från Bibeln till romantik till biologi. I förändringens och polariseringens tidevarv har hans uppriktiga budskap om värdet av individens ansvar blivit ett globalt fenomen. I  12 livsregler  ger sig Peterson i kast med ämnen som barnuppfostran, livsåskådning, ideologi, moral, andlighet och mänskligt lidande. Sökandet efter världens samlade kunskap mynnar ut i 12 praktiska, djärva och djupsinniga livsregler som skakar om vår uppfattning om vetenskap, tro, kultur och den mänskliga naturen. Den mest inflytelserika intellektuella tänkaren i västvärlden just nu. NEW YORK TIMES En självhjälpsbok för dem som inte läser självhjälpsböcker. En andlig guide för dem som inte bryr sig om andlighet. En biblisk manual för dem som inte tror på Gud. SVENSKA DAGBLADET En av de mest eklektiska och stimulerande intellektuella i dagens offentlighet - orädd och passionerad. THE GUARDIAN Peterson kan ta de såraste idéerna och göra dem underhållande ... Han är snabbt på väg att bli det närmaste den akademiska världen haft en rockstjärna. THE OBSERVER Du behöver inte hålla med Peterson för att gilla den här boken, för när du väl övergett självhjälpsetiketten blir det fascinerande läsning. THE TIMES En av de viktigaste tänkarna att kliva fram i världens rampljus på många år. THE SPECTATOR Är denne Jordan Peterson då fullkomlig och ofelbar? Enligt min mening: ja. Så vitt jag kan se är han en profet som försynen har skänkt vår tid, och hans senaste bok är ett mäktigt, litterärt bålverk mot moralisk relativism, postmodern cynism och andra märka krafter som hotar vårt bräckliga samhälle. AXESS Peterson formulerar saker som få lyckas sätta ord på i dag. EXPRESSEN |
