Why do we do develop habits? And how can we change them?
We can always change. In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg translates cutting-edge behavioural science into practical self-improvement action, distilling advanced neuroscience into fascinating narratives of transformation.

The answer lies deep in the human brain, and The Power of Habits reveals the secret pressure points that can change a life. From Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps to Martin Luther King Jr., from the CEO of Starbucks to the locker rooms of the NFL, Duhigg explores the incredible results of keystone habits, and how they can make all the difference between billions and millions, failure and success – or even life and death.

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.

When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?”
But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable.
Instead, we should be asking a different question:
What will be the same ten years from now?
What will be the same one hundred years from now?
Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future.
In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same.
Armed with this knowledge of the unchanging, you will have a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainty of the future.
As you see familiar themes repeat again and again in the years ahead, you’ll find yourself nodding and saying, “Yep, same as ever.”
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.
ormer CNN/CNN International Anchor and Business Correspondent Alison Kosik —recognised around the globe as the face of Wall Street for the network — found herself trapped in a failing marriage. The savvy mother of two, was terrified to leave her husband. Why? She didn’t have the confidence to take on big financial decisions on her own. Despite spending her working hours explaining financial and business concepts, she had allowed her husband to take charge of all their big money decisions — from buying a house and how to finance it to their investments and retirement savings — and had no clue how to do any of it on her own.
It sounds crazy, doesn’t it?
But Alison is far from atypical.
It turns out plenty of educated and high-achieving women — married or single — avoid getting involved with managing their financial lives. In What’s Up With Women and Money? Alison gives a step-by-step action plan on a variety of money topics. Alison also interviews dozens of women who share their cautionary tales of why avoiding money decisions can lead to bad outcomes.
Alison also talks one on one with inspirational women like Sheryl Sandberg, Rebecca Minkoff, Jessica Alba, Barbara Corcoran, and Deepica Mutyala — women who inspire other women and help them gain confidence — to take control of their financial lives.
Alison simplifies complicated financial topics of investing, car buying and paying down debt, breaking them down into easy to follow steps, with practical tidbits that make each page accessible, digestible and fun.
By the end of What’s Up With Women and Money?, women will not only feel empowered and confident about their finances, but they will also feel ready to take action after being motivated without judgment.
W dyskusjach politycznych regularnie pojawia się i zawsze rozbudza emocje kwestia imigracji: ilu i jakiego rodzaju imigrantom pozwalać na życie i pracę na terenie naszego kraju? Zwolennicy imigracji zazwyczaj przywołują argumenty humanitarne; jej przeciwnicy zwracają uwagę na konieczność dbania o interes i kulturę rodzimych obywateli.Tymczasem ekonomista Bryan Caplan ukazuje zagadnienie imigracji w zupełnie nowym świetle. Jak przekonuje, otwarcie granic mogłoby zakończyć koszmar absolutnego ubóstwa na całym globie, a jednocześnie podwoić światową produktywność na czym ogromnie skorzystałaby cała ludzkość.Caplan posługuje się przystępnym językiem i prowadzi swój wywód w trybie luźnej rozmowy z Czytelnikiem, przeplatając omówienia publikacji naukowych z wyrafinowanym humorem. Całość przedstawiona jest w formie komiksu z fascynującymi ilustracjami słynnego rysownika Zacha Weinersmitha.Otwarte granice. Co nauka i etyka mówią nam o imigracji to książka pełna argumentów, które łatwo zrozumieć, a trudno odeprzeć!
