Libro: The Performance Paradox (978-1-5291-4643-1) de Briceno, Eduardo (Random House Uk Ltd ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. We all know we should be learning and growing. But how do you make time while under pressure to perform? Too many of us suffer from 'chronic performance'- we feel constant pressure to look like we know what we're doing, to always be on, to rack up success after success and have all the answers, all because we assume that greater effort leads to greater success. But this temptation to portray ourselves as infallible is affecting both our work and personal lives and is blocking our ability for true growth. Through his work with over a hundred companies, co-founder of Mindset Works Eduardo Briceno has solved this by coming up with a game-changing framework that breaks our habit of chronic performance. He's discovered that long-term success as an individual or business - personal, financial and, organisational - relies on integrating and being proficient at learning and performing. In The Performance Paradox , you will learn how to- - Unlock the power of mistakes - Integrate learning into daily habits - Move seamlessly between learning and performing - Solicit the most useful feedback - Lead teams that constantly improve and outperform their targets Ground-breaking and empowering, The Performance Paradox will break your chronic performance habit and revolutionise the way you approach growth mindset to get you on your way to thriving in both work and life. 0

Libro: Supercommunicators (978-1-84794-383-5) de Duhigg, Charles (Random House Uk Ltd ) Comprar Libros de Otros .. From the global bestselling author of The Power of Habit 'This is not just a riveting read about how to understand others better. It's also a revealing look at how to be understood.' -ADAM GRANT #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential ___________________________________________________________ Who and what are supercommunicators? They're the people who can steer a conversation to a successful conclusion. They are able to talk about difficult topics without giving offence. They know how to make others feel at ease and share what they think. They're brilliant faciliators and decision-guiders. How do they do it? In this groundbreaking new book, Charles Duhigg unravels the secrets of the supercommunicators to reveal the art - and the science - of successful communication. He unpicks the different types of everyday conversation and pinpoints why some go smoothly while others swiftly fall apart. He reveals the conversational questions and gambits that bring people together. And he shows how even the most tricky of encounters can be turned around. In the process, he shows why a CIA operative was able to win over a reluctant spy, how a member of a jury got his fellow jurors to view an open-and-shut case differently, and what a doctor found they needed to do to engage with a vaccine sceptic. Above all, he reveals the techniques we can all master to successfully connect with others, however tricky the circumstances. Packed with fascinating case studies and drawing on cutting-edge research, this book will change the way you think about what you say, and how you say it. _______________________________________________________________ 'Charles Duhigg goes through a mountain of research - and some riveting stories - and unearths practical tactics to show that anyone can become a more effective listener, speaker, and even social media poster.' - DAVID EPSTEIN, bestselling author of Range 0

Libro: Outlive (978-1-78504-454-0) de Gifford, Bill; Attia, Peter (Random House Uk Ltd ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Otros Idiomas .Novela y Narrativa en Inglés .. - THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, AND OVER 2 MILLION COPIES SOLD GLOBALLY - This is the ultimate manual for living better and longer. For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people- heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Dr Peter Attia, the world's top longevity expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary LIMITLESS, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity. This isn't 'biohacking,' it's science- a well-founded strategic approach to extending lifespan while improving our physical, cognitive and emotional health, making each decade better than the one before. With Outlive 's practical advice and roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before. In the Daily Mail' s 'TOP READS OF 2023- Books that will help you feel better for longer' 'One of the most important books you'll ever read.' - Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics 'Highlighters at the ready. This is jam packed with things you will wish you had known before.

Libro: Like Love (978-1-911717-02-7) de Nelson, Maggie (Random House Uk Ltd ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. A CAREER-SPANNING COLLECTION OF INSPIRING, REVELROUS ESSAYS ABOUT ART AND ARTISTS ' Like Love may be one of the most movingly specific , the most lovingly unruly celebrations of the ethics of friendship we have' Guardian 'A polyphonic assemblage . . . graceful and aesthetic , deftly crossing boundaries and definitions, a concordant symphony ' Irish Times Like Love is a momentous, raucous collection of essays drawn from twenty years of Maggie Nelson's brilliant work. These profiles, reviews, remembrances, tributes and critical essays, as well as several conversations with friends and idols, bring to life Nelson's passion for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is wide - from Prince to Carolee Schneemann to Matthew Barney to Lhasa de Sela to Kara Walker - but certain themes recur: intergenerational exchange; love and friendship; feminist and queer issues, especially as they shift over time; subversion, transgression and perversity; the roles of the critic and language in relation to visual and performance arts; forces that feed or impede certain bodies and creators; and the fruits and follies of a life spent devoted to making. Arranged chronologically, Like Love shows the writing, thinking, feeling, reading, looking and conversing that occupied Nelson while writing iconic books such as Bluets and The Argonauts. As such, it is a portrait of a time, an anarchic party rich with wild guests, a window into Nelson's own development and a testament to the profound sustenance offered by art and artists. 0

Libro: Less Is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World (978-1-78609-121-5) de HICKEL, JASON (Random House UK ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. ______________________ 'A powerfully disruptive book for disrupted times ... If you're looking for transformative ideas, this book is for you.' KATE RAWORTH, economist and author of Doughnut Economics Featured in FT Best Books of the Year 2020 ______________________ The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown and ecological collapse. Now we must face up to its primary cause. Capitalism demands perpetual expansion, which is devastating the living world. There is only one solution that will lead to meaningful and immediate change: DEGROWTH. If we want to have a shot at halting the crisis, we need to restore the balance. We need to change how we see nature and our place in it, shifting from a philosophy of domination and extraction to one that's rooted in reciprocity and regeneration. We need to evolve beyond the dogmas of capitalism to a new system that is fit for the twenty-first century. But what does such a society look like? What about jobs? What about health? What about progress? This book tackles these questions and traces a clear pathway to a post-capitalist economy. An economy that's more just, more caring, and more fun. An economy that enables human flourishing while reversing ecological breakdown. An economy that will not only lift us out of our current crisis, but restore our sense of connection to a world that's brimming with life. By taking less, we can become more. ______________________ 'A masterpiece... Less is More covers centuries and continents, spans academic disciplines, and connects contemporary and ancient events in a way which cannot be put down until it's finished.' DANNY DORLING, Professor of Geography, University of Oxford 'Jason is able to personalise the global and swarm the mind in the way that insects used to in abundance but soon shan't unless we are able to heed his beautifully rendered warning.' RUSSELL BRAND 'Jason Hickel shows that recovering the commons and decolonizing nature, cultures, and humanity are necessary conditions for hope of a common future in our common home.' VANDANA SHIVA, author of Making Peace With the Earth 'This is a book we have all been waiting for. Jason Hickel dispels ecomodernist fantasies of "green growth". Only degrowth can avoid climate breakdown. The facts are indisputable and they are in this book.' GIORGIS KALLIS, author of Degrowth 'Capitalism has robbed us of our ability to even imagine something different; Less is More gives us the ability to not only dream of another world, but also the tools by which we can make that vision real.' ASAD REHMAN, director of War on Want 'One of the most important books I have read ... does something extremely rare: it outlines a clear path to a sustainable future for all.' RAOUL MARTINEZ, author of Creating Freedom 'Jason Hickel takes us on a profound journey...

Here is a wonder-book for word-lovers' Jeanette Winterson ' A lively, entertaining, and illuminating read. I loved it ' Susie Dent What do three murderers, Karl Marx's daughter and a vegetarian vicar have in common? They all helped create the Oxford English Dictionary. The Oxford English Dictionary has long been associated with elite institutions and Victorian men. But the Dictionary didn't just belong to the experts; it relied on contributions from members of the public. By 1928, its 414,825 entries had been crowdsourced from a surprising and diverse group of people, from astronomers to murderers, naturists, pornographers, suffragists and queer couples. Lexicographer Sarah Ogilvie dives deep into previously untapped archives to tell a people's history of the OED. Here, she reveals, for the first time, the full story of the making of one of the most famous books in the world - and celebrates the extraordinary efforts of the Dictionary People. ** A Financial Times, TLS and Daunt Books Book of the Year 2023 ** 'Utterly fascinating, entertaining, astonishing and as clever as a box of monkeys ... I completely love it' Joanna Lumley 'Full marks to Sarah Ogilvie... guaranteed to grab those of us obsessed with books, language and mystery ' Financial Times '[An] astonishing book' Sunday Times ' Touching ...

'Compelling' Marie Claire * 'Immensely enjoyable' Observer * 'Fascinating' Red * One week into lockdown, the tenants of a Manhattan apartment building have begun to gather on the rooftop each evening and tell stories in this exciting new twist on the novel.

Libro: QUESTION 7 (978-1-78474-567-7) de Richard Flanagan (RANDOM HOUSE UK ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. **Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize 2024 ** 'A work of non-fiction . . . but it has all the complexity of emotional heft of a great novel . . . Question 7 sets the high-water mark for what the genre [of memoir] can be' Sunday Times 'There's so much . . . in Flanagan's beautiful, unclassifiable novel-cum-memoir . . . That it is a masterpiece is without question ' Observer This is a book about the choices we make and the chain reaction that follows . . . By way of H. G. Wells and Rebecca West's affair, through 1930s nuclear physics, to Flanagan's father working as a slave labourer near Hiroshima when the atom bomb is dropped, this daisy chain of events reaches fission when a young man finds himself trapped in a rapid on a wild river, not knowing if he is to live or to die. Flanagan has created a love song to his island home and his parents and the terrible past that delivered him to that place. Through a hypnotic melding of dream, history, science, and memory, Question 7 shows how our lives so often arise out of the stories of others and the stories we invent about ourselves. ' I was fascinated, troubled, and enchanted by this strange and extraordinary work... I can think of nothing else quite like it' Sarah Perry 'Mighty in its rage and tenderness: his most momentous book yet' Laura Cumming 'Spectacular . . . It seems to me a book that will have an overwhelming effect on readers. It certainly did on me' Colm Tibn ' Question 7 could be Richard Flanagan's greatest yet' Guardian ' Fiercely alive and genuinely hard to put down' Mark Haddon Richard Flanagan, Winner of the Booker Prize 2014 0

Artistic genius, political activist, painter and decorator, mythic legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is unmistakable, except maybe when it's squatting in the Tate or New York's Metropolitan Museum. Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cities throughout the world. Witty and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass destruction, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills and umbrellas. His statements, incitements, ironies and epigrams are by turns intelligent and cheeky comments on everything from the monarchy and capitalism to the war in Iraq and farm animals. 0

Libro: Passiontide (978-1-78730-398-0) de Roffey, Monique (Random House Uk Ltd ) Comprar Libros de Otros .. Four women spark a revolution on a Caribbean island - the electrifying new novel from the Costa-winning author of The Mermaid of Black Conch . 'Vital, enraging and brilliant. I loved it' SARAH WINMAN 'Beautiful and important' SAFIYA SINCLAIR Early one morning, at the close of St Colibri's carnival, a young female steel-pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree. It is a discovery that will transform the lives of everyone on this small island. As the days pass, this shocking event draws together four women. There's Sharleen, a journalist with an eye for the real story. Her childhood friend Tara, the pink-haired, straight-talking star of the activism scene. Gigi, the 'notorious' founder of the Port Isabella Sex Workers Collective. And Daisy, first lady of St Colibri, who is haunted by a disappearance in her own family decades ago.

But even they could never have foreseen the consequences of their courage... 'A thrilling read, I loved it' SADIE JONES 'A vital novel... Fier y, funny and ferociously feminist' DIANA EVANS 'The spirit of carnival itself is in the writing... Electrifying' JASON ALLEN-PAISANT 'Monique Roffey is a trailblazer of Caribbean literature' BREANNE MC IVOR 0
