From Marie Kondo to Hygge to Ikigai, in recent years, philosophies to help people live better lives have taken the world by storm. Kaizen will change your habits for good.
This beautifully colour illustrated and photographed book offers a way to build good habits and remove bad ones, without being too hard on yourself along the way. The focus is on having patience, shaping solutions for yourself rather than following others and not giving up when things aren’t working. Rather than being critical of your faults, the emphasis is on mindful, positive change. Well-known in the business and sports worlds as a method for mapping incremental goals, Kaizen is also a wonderful tool for slowly improving aspects of your life, without feeling daunted or overwhelmed by the challenge.
Kaizen by Sarah Harvey brings you a personalized and flexible approach to change that you can apply to any area of your life (whether it is health, relationships, money, career, habits, new hobbies or general wellbeing). You can adapt it to suit working style, preferences and personality. Every person’s experience of Kaizen will be different, which is what makes it such an effective tool for positive change.

БЕСТСЕЛЕР НОМЕР 1 SUNDAY TIMES 24 ТИЖНІ Послідовно в SUNDAY TIMES ТОП-10 Чому популярний резонанс у «мужчині» (незважаючи на сильну неприязнь до цього терміну, яку відчувають багато чоловіків)? Це вражає нас, оскільки прямо вказує на те, що відчуваєш, коли тебе не сприймають серйозно: схоже на те, коли мені читають лекції з римської історії в Твіттері. Найвідоміша британська класична художниця Мері Берд також є відданою феміністкою. З дотепністю вона повертається до гендерного порядку денного та показує, як історія ставилася до впливових жінок. Її приклади варіюються від класичного світу до сучасності, від Медузи й Афіни до Терези Мей і Гілларі Клінтон. Берд досліджує культурні основи мізогінії, враховуючи публічний голос жінок, наші культурні уявлення про стосунки жінок із владою та те, як впливові жінки чинять опір тому, щоб їх запакували в чоловічий шаблон. З особистими роздумами про власний досвід сексизму та гендерної агресії, які вона зазнала в Інтернеті, Мері запитує: якщо жінки не сприймаються як такі, що належать до структур влади, чи не владу нам потрібно змінити? Від автора міжнародного бестселера SPQR: Історія Стародавнього Риму.
Why the popular resonance of 'mansplaining' (despite the intense dislike of the term felt by many men)? It hits home for us because it points straight to what it feels like not to be taken seriously: a bit like when I get lectured on Roman history on Twitter.
Britain's best-known classicist Mary Beard, is also a committed and vocal feminist. With wry wit, she revisits the gender agenda and shows how history has treated powerful women. Her examples range from the classical world to the modern day, from Medusa and Athena to Theresa May and Hillary Clinton. Beard explores the cultural underpinnings of misogyny, considering the public voice of women, our cultural assumptions about women's relationship with power, and how powerful women resist being packaged into a male template.

This is the "Penguin English Library Edition" of "Dracula" by Bram Stoker. 'Alone with the dead! I dare not go out, for I can hear the low howl of the wolf through the broken window'. A chilling masterpiece of the horror genre, "Dracula" also illuminated dark corners of Victorian sexuality. When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to advise Count Dracula on a London home, he makes a horrifying discovery. Soon afterwards, a number of disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the arrival of his 'Master', while a determined group of adversaries prepares to face the terrifying Count. "The Penguin English Library" contains 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

The Architecture of Happiness is Alain de Botton's exploration of the hidden links between buildings and our well being. In The Architecture of Happiness, bestselling author Alain de Botton explores one of our most intense but often hidden love affairs: with our houses and their furnishings. He asks: • What makes a house truly beautiful? • Why are many new houses so ugly? • Why do we argue so bitterly about sofas and pictures - and can differences of taste ever be satisfactorily resolved? To answer these questions and many more, de Botton looks at buildings across the world, from medieval wooden huts to modern skyscrapers; he examines sofas and cathedrals, tea sets and office complexes, and teases out a host of often surprising philosophical insights. The Architecture of Happiness will take you on a beguiling tour through the history and psychology of architecture and interior design, and will change the way you look at your home.

Хоча ми всі знаємо, що прислів’я «ми використовуємо лише десять відсотків нашого мозку» є міфом, правда полягає в тому, що мозок має справлятися з великою кількістю інформації з багатьох джерел, не дивно, що в стресові моменти ми можемо відчувати розумова втома і тривога. У книзі The Brain Coach доктор Гарет Мур розробив програму вправ, технік і порад, які допоможуть вам подолати розумову напругу, покращити роботу мозку та тренувати його.
Містячи вправи та тести, спрямовані на конкретні питання, а також загальні головоломки, які гарантуватимуть, що ваш мозок тренуватиметься «всього мозку» щодня протягом спеціально розробленої 40-денної програми, ви дізнаєтеся, як оптимізувати продуктивність свого мозку, як "Час простою" для вашого мозку може покращити ваші розумові здібності, як розпалити вашу творчість, покращити ваш словниковий запас для чіткішого мислення, боротися з некорисними реакціями мозку - і багато іншого.
Тренуйте свій мозок і відновіть свою розумову спритність, використовуючи розраховані на час і цілеспрямовані вправи в The Brain Coach - і ви побачите різницю всього за 40 днів.
Although we all know that the adage `we only use ten per cent of our brain' is a myth, the truth is that the brain has to cope with so much information from so many sources, it's no wonder that at stressful times we can feel mental fatigue and anxiety. In The Brain Coach, Dr Gareth Moore has developed a programme of exercises, techniques and tips that will help you overcome mental strain, increase your brain function and train your brain.
Containing exercises and tests that target specific issues as well as general puzzles that will make sure your brain gets an `all brain' workout every day over the specially devised 40-day programme, you will learn how to optimize the performance of your brain, how `downtime' for your brain can enhance your mental powers, how to spark your creativity, improve your vocabulary for clearer thinking, deal with unhelpful brain responses - and much more besides.
Train your brain and regain your mental agility using the timed and focused exercises in The Brain Coach - and you will see a difference in just 40 days.

In Rebel Talent, award-winning Harvard Business School professor and behavioural scientist Francesca Gino shows us why happiest and most successful among us are those who break the rules and how we can all do it more.
The world’s best chef.
The pilot who landed his plane on a river.
The magician who made history.
The computer scientist who changed animated films forever.
What do they all have in common?
They are all rebels.
Francesca Gino has been studying rebellion and conformity for more than fifteen years. She has discovered that when we mindlessly follow rules and norms rather than constructively rebelling against them, we become less happy and less successful in every area of our lives. While rebels may seem disruptive, they are ultimately good for business: their passion, drive, curiosity and creativity can raise organizations to a new level.

УВАГА! ЕКЗЕМПЛЯР З ВІТРИНИ
Деякі люди живуть все життя, не змінюючи своєї точки зору. Для Еллісон Денніс усе це займає 180 секунд... Після життя, проведеного в переміщеннях від одного прийомного дому до іншого, Еллісон сповнена рішучості тримати інших на відстані витягнутої руки. Удочерена в шістнадцять років, вона знає, що краще не вірити в постійність будь-чого. Але коли вона починає свій третій рік навчання в коледжі, їй стає все важче зникнути в білому шумі, що ллється з її навушників. Одного дня, нічого не підозрюючи, Еллісон потрапляє в соціальний експеримент неподалік від кампусу. Раптом вона опиняється перед натовпом, змушена спілкуватися з абсолютно незнайомою людиною протягом 180 секунд. Ні вона, ні Есбен Бейлор, мрійлива зірка соціальних мереж, що сидить навпроти неї, не готові до такого результату. Коли час покликаний, інтенсивність досвіду переповнює Еллісон та Есбена таким чином, що нервує та електризує їх обох. Завдяки підтримці свого найстаршого друга Еллісон вирушає в подорож, щоб з’ясувати, чи те, чим вони з Есбеном поділилися, є справжнім і чи може вона нарешті довіряти собі, іншим і коханню.
Some people live their entire lives without changing their perspective. For Allison Dennis, all it takes is 180 seconds…
After a life spent bouncing from one foster home to the next, Allison is determined to keep others at arm’s length. Adopted at sixteen, she knows better than to believe in the permanence of anything. But as she begins her third year in college, she finds it increasingly difficult to disappear into the white noise pouring from her earbuds.
One unsuspecting afternoon, Allison is roped into a social experiment just off campus. Suddenly, she finds herself in front of a crowd, forced to interact with a complete stranger for 180 seconds. Neither she, nor Esben Baylor, the dreamy social media star seated opposite her, is prepared for the outcome.
When time is called, the intensity of the experience overwhelms Allison and Esben in a way that unnerves and electrifies them both. With a push from her oldest friend, Allison embarks on a journey to find out if what she and Esben shared is the real thing―and if she can finally trust in herself, in others, and in love.
