We all know that change is hard. It's unsettling, it's time-consuming, and all too often we give up at the first sign of a setback.
But why do we insist on seeing the obstacles rather than the goal? This is the question that bestselling authors Chip and Dan Heath tackle in their compelling and insightful new book. They argue that we need only understand how our minds function in order to unlock shortcuts to switches in behaviour. Illustrating their ideas with scientific studies and remarkable real-life turnarounds - from the secrets of successful marriage counselling to the pile of gloves that transformed one company's finances - the brothers Heath prove that deceptively simple methods can yield truly extraordinary results.

Whispers suggest the involvement of a criminal organisation or the mafia, but as soon as Oyrnski and Chylka discover a ruling that might allow for an appeal, Orynski gets brutally attacked out of nowhere. Who attacked Orysnki, and why? Is Piotr Langer really guilty of murdering these two people?And will Orysnki and Chylka ever make their final appeal?

When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he's not alone.
He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade – a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze. Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they came to be there – or what's happened to the world outside.
All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back, they will risk everything – even the Grievers, half-machine, half-animal horror that patrol its corridors, to try and find out ...
Canadian-born Agnes Martin was one of the pre-eminent painters of the second half of the twentieth century, whose work has had a significant influence both on artists of her own time and for subsequent generations. A contemporary of the abstract expressionists though often identified with minimalism, Martin was of the few woman artists who came to prominence in the predominately masculine art world of the late 1950s and 1960s, and became a particularly important role model for younger women artists.
This groundbreaking survey provides an overview of Martin’s career, from lesser-known early experimental works through her striped and grided grey paintings and use of colour in various formats, to a group of her final works that reintroduce bold forms. A selection of drawings and watercolours is also included.
With essays by leading scholars that give a context for Martin’s work – her life, relationship with other artists, the influence of South Asian philosophy – alongside focused shorter pieces on particular paintings, the book will appeal to art students, academics and all those interested in abstract art. Presenting new research, and beautifully designed, the book is also an opportunity to introduce the life and work of Agnes Martin to those unfamiliar with her oeuvre.

Fikcja jest tylko bladym odwzorowaniem rzeczywistości, która przechodzi najśmielsze wyobrażenia... wychodząc poza jakiekolwiek granice, aby rozpłynąć się w iluzji. Rzeczywistość zaś podzielona jest gęstą, mgławą kurtyną, spod której od czasu do czasu wyłania się jakiś niewyraźny kształt. Wydaje się być czymś konkretnym, jak wszystko wokół. Ale to reprezentant prowokator, ,żołnierz"", figurant,,Aniołek Charliego"" aktor mający za zadanie zrealizować scenariusz napisany za kurtyną.Politykom i wielu środowiskom decydenckim książka może się nie spodobać, wywleka bowiem na wierzch to, czego zazwyczaj nie chce się pokazać - co jest, ale w ukryciu, pod powierzchnią spraw naskórkowych, pod pozorami i nie mówi się o tym wprost, nie mówi się w oficjalnych mediach, nie mówią o tym nawet ludzie między sobą, pragnąc, aby to, na co nie mają wpływu, co wykracza poza możliwość ich akceptacji, nie zostało wypowiedziane - aby pozostało poza świadomością.Nie stawiamy zatem właściwych diagnoz i nie robimy właściwych korekt. A,,historia lubi się powtarzać"".Tutaj fakty zostały wciągnięte w fabułę, książka ma zatem postać collage - tego, co faktyczne z tym, co iluzoryczne - jak nasza rzeczywistość.

Despite conventional wisdom, the biggest risk confronting our generation isn’t economic, political or climate risk. It’s decision risk, and the failure to hear who and what really matters.
Your decisions impact others, yet in today’s noisy world of digital distraction, disinformation and data overload we’re more vulnerable than ever to hearing less and less. In the dash to decide, we sacrifice nuance for convenience, misinterpret people and misunderstand situations, accelerating a rush to misjudgement.
The result? A catalogue of human errors, unheard voices and tone-deaf leadership. Tuning out relevant voices degrades decisions, damages reputation and squanders opportunity, amplifying modern activism, rampant polarisation, scandals and scams.
Now that can change.
In Tune In, award-winning Nuala Walsh champions understanding behaviour as an insurance policy against mishearing, misinformation and misjudgement. This timely masterclass stands apart in its original treatment of 'deaf spots,' the hidden judgement killers that stop us from hearing what really matters. It not only explains your worst mistakes but equips you to prevent future error and the sting of regret.
Armed with a new science-led PERIMETERS framework and dozens of 'sonic' strategies that rely on human intelligence, not artificial intelligence, you’ll discover the 10 traps that bind our reasoning. Each is illustrated by a cast of Wall Street titans, sports legends, serial killers, presidents, astronauts, entrepreneurs, entertainers and exonerees.
