Grove calls such a moment a Strategic Inflection Point, which can be set off by almost anything: mega-competition, a change in regulations, or a seemingly modest change in technology. When a Strategic Inflection Point hits, the ordinary rules of business go out the window. Yet, managed right, a Strategic Inflection Point can be an opportunity to win in the marketplace and emerge stronger than ever.
Grove underscores his message by examining his own record of success and failure, including how he navigated the events of the Pentium flaw, which threatened Intel’s reputation in 1994, and how he has dealt with the explosions in growth of the Internet. The work of a lifetime, Only the Paranoid Survive is a classic of managerial and leadership skills.]]>

هذاالروائي العظيم الذي مزق العذاب جسده على مدى ستين عاماً كاملة. ما عرف للطفولة معنى, ولا للشباب صبوة, وجاءت شيخوخته امتداداً لماضيه: عذاب... معاناة, أرق وقلق... إنه القدر الذي يقسو عليه لكنه يعجز عن قهره, فكان مبدعاً خلاقاً, حول آلامه إلى رجاء. إنه أشبه بحبات الحنطى تحت حجر الرحى, يطحنها لتصبح عجين خبز يسد جوع الجياع.
منذ البداية, نلحظ رغبة راسكولنيكوف التي هي ضد إرادته في ارتكاب جريمة مزدوجة. منذ تلك اللحظه, ونحن نشاركه صراعه الداخلي القائم على الإعتزاز بنفسه والاشمئزاز منها في الوقت ذاته, فأيهما يتبع؟ فصرنا أسرى هذا الصراع حتى انغمسنا كلياً في مشاعر البطل وأفعاله, وتحولنا إلى راسكولنيكوف ثان وكدنا نرتكب الجريمة معه..
"الجريمة والعقاب", رواية مبنية على أساس الصراع الداخلي عند الإنسان وخاصةً الرغبة في التعبير عن النفس وإثباتها في مواجهة الأخلاقيات والقوانين التي أوجدها البشر مما يجعلنا نحس بقلق مضن ونتساءل عن العدالة في هذا العالم وفي الوقت ذاته نتساءل عما إذا كان يحق لنا الإقتصاص من العدالة ومن الأخلاقيات.]]>

"Empty your mind; be formless, shapeless like water."
Bruce Lee is a cultural icon, renowned the world over for his martial arts and film legacy. But Lee was also a deeply philosophical thinker, learning at an early age that martial arts are more than just an exercise in physical discipline―they are an apt metaphor for living a fully realized life.
Now, in Be Water, My Friend , Lee’s daughter Shannon shares the concepts at the core of his philosophies, showing how they can serve as tools of personal growth and self-actualization. Each chapter brings a lesson from Bruce Lee’s teachings, expanding on the foundation of his iconic “be water� philosophy. Over the course of the book, we discover how being like water allows us to embody fluidity and naturalness in life, bringing us closer to our essential flowing nature and our ability to be powerful, self-expressed, and free.
Through previously untold stories from her father’s life and from her own journey in embodying these lessons, Shannon presents these philosophies in tangible, accessible ways. With Bruce Lee’s words as a guide, she encourages readers to pursue their essential selves and apply these ideas and practices to their everyday lives―whether in learning new things, overcoming obstacles, or ultimately finding their true path.
Be Water, My Friend is an inspirational invitation to us all, a gentle call to action to consider our lives with new eyes. It is also a testament to how one man's exploration and determination transcended time and place to ignite our imaginations―and to inspire many around the world to transform their lives.]]>

It's not you, it's the food.
We have entered a new 'age of eating' where most of our calories come from an entirely novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food, food which is industrially processed and designed and marketed to be addictive. But do we really know what it's doing to our bodies?
Join Chris in his travels through the world of food science and a UPF diet to discover what's really going on. Find out why exercise and willpower can't save us, and what UPF is really doing to our bodies, our health, our weight, and the planet (hint: nothing good).
For too long we've been told we just need to make different choices, when really we're living in a food environment that makes it nigh-on impossible. So this is a book about our rights. The right to know what we eat and what it does to our bodies and the right to good, affordable food.]]>

If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.
Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.
Learn how to:
-Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);
-Overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;
- Design your environment to make success easier;
- Get back on track when you fall off course;
...and much more.
Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.]]>

Why do some products capture widespread attention while others flop? What makes us engage with certain products out of sheer habit? Is there a pattern underlying how technologies hook us?
Nir Eyal answers these questions (and many more) by explaining the Hook Model—a four-step process embedded into the products of many successful companies to subtly encourage customer behavior. Through consecutive “hook cycles,� these products reach their ultimate goal of bringing users back again and again without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging.
Hooked is based on Eyal’s years of research, consulting, and practical experience. He wrote the book he wished had been available to him as a start-up founder—not abstract theory, but a how-to guide for building better products. Hooked is written for product managers, designers, marketers, start-up founders, and anyone who seeks to understand how products influence our behavior.
Eyal provides readers with:
� Practical insights to create user habits that stick.
� Actionable steps for building products people love.
� Fascinating examples from the iPhone to Twitter, Pinterest to the Bible App, and many other habit-forming products.]]>

In 12 Rules for Life, clinical psychologist and celebrated professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto Dr. Jordan B. Peterson helped millions of readers impose order on the chaos of their lives. Now, in this bold sequel, Peterson delivers twelve more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world inevitably takes.
In a time when the human will increasingly imposes itself over every sphere of life—from our social structures to our emotional states—Peterson warns that too much security is dangerous. What’s more, he offers strategies for overcoming the cultural, scientific, and psychological forces causing us to tend toward tyranny, and teaches us how to rely instead on our instinct to find meaning and purpose, even—and especially—when we find ourselves powerless.
While chaos, in excess, threatens us with instability and anxiety, unchecked order can petrify us into submission. Beyond Order provides a call to balance these two fundamental principles of reality itself, and guides us along the straight and narrow path that divides them.]]>

Our Stolen Future examines the ways that certain synthetic chemicals interfere with hormonal messages involved in the control of growth and development, especially in the fetus.
The developing fetus uses these natural hormonal messages, which come from both from its own hormone system and from its mother, to guide development. They influence virtually all of the growing individual's characteristics, from determining its sex to controlling the numbers of toes and fingers to shaping intricate details of brain structure.
Scientific research over the last 50 years has revealed that this hormonal control of development is vulnerable to disruption by synthetic chemicals. Through a variety of mechanisms, hormone-disrupting chemicals (also known as endocrine disrupting chemicals or endocrine disruptors) interfere with the natural messages and alter the course of development, with potential effects on virtually all aspects of bodily function.
Our Stolen Future explores the scientific discovery of endocrine disruption. The investigation begins with wildlife, as it was in animals that the first hints of widespread endocrine disruption appeared. The book then examines a series of experiments examining endocrine disruption of animals in the laboratory which show conclusively that fetal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals can wreak life-long damage. These experiments also reveal some of the biological processes by which these chemicals have their effects, and that endocrine disruption effects can be caused by exposure to infinitesimally small amounts of contaminant. Moving from animals to people, Our Stolen Future summarizes a series of well-studied examples where people have been affected by endocrine disrupting chemicals, most notably the synthetic hormonedietheylstilbestrol(DES), to which several million women were exposed through misguided medical attempts to manage difficult pregnancies in the 1950s, '60s and '70s.
Our Stolen Future then asks a broader, more difficult and more controversial set of questions. Given what is known from wildlife and laboratory studies, and from examples of well-studied human exposure, and given that exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals in the real world is widespread at levels comparable to those sufficient to cause animal harm, what effects should health scientists be looking for in people in general? Effects to be expected include declines in fertility and other impacts on the reproductive system of both men and women, impairments in disease resistance, and erosions in intelligence.]]>

قلّ من يعرفه، فتحدث المشكلات والأزمات بين الزوجين نتيجة الجهل بهذا الفن، بل بهذه العبادة المقدسة، وتتعرض الأسرة إلى هزات عنيفة، كثيراً ما تؤدي إلى زعزعة أركانها وتشريد أطفالها!
وقد سارعت إلى نشرهذا الكتاب الطريف لإفهام الجيل الراشد فن الزواج حسب ما خطط له الإسلام، هذا التشريع العظيم والدين الجميل الذي أولى الأسرة اهتماماً عظيماً ورسم لها كل ما يكفل استمرار سعادتها ويسهل مهمتها في إعداد جيل مؤمن طموح وبنّاء،كما خطط لكل من الزوج والزوجة حقوقه وواجباته.
إنني لم آت من عندي، إنما هي آيات قرآنية وأحاديث نبوية صحيحة تجد طريقها إلى النور لأول مرة، مجموعة في كتاب، بعد ما بقيت مبعثرة في كهوف الكتب القديمة أجيالاً وأجيالاً.
ولا شك أن القارئ والقارئة سيفاجآن ببحوث صريحة إلى غاية الصراحة في هذا الكتاب ولا عجب، فالإسلام دين الحياة، والغريزة الجنسية جزء هام من الحياة! فكان من الطبيعي أن يعالجها هذا الدين الحنيف بشيء من الطرافة والتشويق والموضوعية ما دام الزواج ركناً عظيماً من أهم أركان صرح الأمة.]]>

لماذا نشعر أننا نعيش في وضعية تشغيل مؤقت أو انتظار دائم لبدء حياتنا؟
لماذا نلهث من كثرة الأعباء ونحلم بالتفرغ ، ثم نتذمر من الملل وضعف الطاقة حين نفرغ أخيرًا؟
وما الشغف الذي ننتظر أن نصل له ونحن لا نتخذ تجاهه أي خطوة .. ولا نعرف كيف ولا أين نخطو؟!
متى تتضح عندنا الرؤية وتنحل عقد الأسئلة الوجودية المستعصية؟
من يرشدنا؟ ومن نتخذ قدوة؟ وكيف نفرق الحق والباطل والغث والسمين؟
لإجابة كل هذه الأسئلة وما شابهها ، كان تأليف كتاب "الأسئلة الأربعة لضبط بوصلتك في الحياة" .
................................
يأخذك هذا الكتاب في رحلة تفصيلية لفهم أسس هذا الوجود والتعامل معه ، من خلال أربعة أسئلة ترسم رؤية المسلم للوجود وتضبط بوصلة سعيه في الحياة . وهي مرتّبة بتسلسل بحيث ينبني على جوابِ كل سؤال جوابُ السؤال الذي بعده . وهذه الأسئلة هي :
السؤال الأول : من هو خالقي؟
مفتاح تصحيح تصوراتنا عن الوجود من جذورها يكون بالتعرف لخالق هذا الوجود وموجوداته ، سبحانه وتعالى ، وبالتالي طبيعة الصلة بيننا وبينه جلَّ وعلا . ويناقش هذا السؤال أربعة أسماء من أسماء الله تعالى الحسنى ، هي المدخل لتصحيح غالب الخلل في أفهامنا وتصوراتنا عن أنفسنا وما حولنا . ويبدأ بعرض الاسم ومعناه ، ثم مقتضاه وتطبيقاته في حياة المؤمن ، ثم أشكال المخالفات التي يقع فيها بالقلب أو بالجوارح وتتعارض مع إيمانه . والأسماء هي : الخالق ، المالك ، الحق ، الواحد .
السؤال الثاني : ما الذي كلّفني به خالقي؟
وفيه نتعرف بالتفصيل على مراد الله تعالى من عباده ، في مختلف مساعي الحياة : الدعاء ، الإيمان بالقَدَر خيره وشره ، السعي والتخطيط ، التعليم والدعوة ... . ويحلل هذا السؤال مفاهيم كثيرة تشغل بال غالب الشباب خاصة ، ويوضح تطبيقاتها الصحيحة والخاطئة مثل : الشغف والرسالة في الحياة ، الطموح ، المقارنة بالغير ، اكتشاف الذات ومهاراتها ، التجربة الجادة والتشتت العبثي ، الإنجاز والإتقان ، التخطيط والتوكل ، الرضا بالقضاء ، الصبر والتسليم ، اللامبالاة والشعور بالعَدَمية ، التفكير في الموت... إلخ .
السؤال الثالث : كيف سوّاني خالقي؟
وينقسم هذا الفصل من الكتاب لقسمين :
قسم يوضح تركيب الكيان الإدراكي في الإنسان من عقل وقلب ، ويشرح أهم مداخل الخلل الفكري والوجداني التي تؤثر على مدى نضج الفرد العقلاني والعاطفي ؛
وقسم يتناول الجوانب النفسية ومسائل التزكية ، مثل : كيفية تربية النفس والصبر عليها وبناء صداقة متينة معها ، والتعامل مع أوقات الفتور وضعف الهمة ، والوقع في المعاصي والذنوب ... إلخ .
السؤال الرابع : كيف أرجو خالقي؟
يتناول هذا الفصل أبرز المشاغل الحياتية العامة ، ويعرض لخطوات عملية في التعامل معها ، مثل : تنظيم الوقت وتحديد الأهداف ، منهج التعلم الذاتي وقائمة العلوم والمعارف الأساسية لكل مسلم ، مشاكل التعلق القلبي والخطبة والزواج ، تربية الأبناء ، استقبال رمضان ... .

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling� and “fascinating,� Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.
Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master�), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness�), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally�). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.]]>

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited�"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.]]>
The book humanities dread and goals, cleaning it from the perfectionism that we have been taught to reach.
It teaches as not to be perfect & to stop running after a ghost trying to catch it.
Enlighten us about how simple life is.
The book strengthens the readers inner silent personality and simply be ur self.
Lastly,
When talking about death, the writer mentioned Buddhism & Christianity perspective but he hasn’t mentioned the Islamic Perspective. & that’s why it’s a 4 star book.
I believe if he searched in the Islamic perspective about death, he would be amazed. Give it a try.
Overall, a great book.. very inspiring & honest. ]]>

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL PARENTING PUBLICATIONS GOLD AWARD •“A worthy book that brings us genuinely new ideas and fresh perspectives on parenting.”—Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia
Children take their lead from their Being “cool� matters more than anything else. Shaping values, identity, and codes of behavior, peer groups are often far more influential than parents. But this situation is far from natural, and it can be dangerous—it undermines family cohesion, interferes with healthy development, and fosters a hostile and sexualized youth culture. Children end up becoming conformist, anxious, and alienated.
In Hold On to Your Kids, acclaimedphysician and bestselling author Gabor Maté joins forces with psychologist Gordon Neufeld to pinpoint the causes of this breakdown and offer practical advice on how to “reattach� to your children and earn back their loyalty and love.
By helping to reawaken our instincts, Neufeld and Maté empower parents to be what nature a true source of enrichment, security, and warmth for their children.]]>

أيمكنُ أن يسكن القلبَ ساكنٌ سوى الحبيب الأول؟ وهل يدوم الحب وقتها رحمة وسَلَمًا؟ أم ينقلبُ ضَنَىً وأَلَمًا؟ وما حقيقة ذلك الحب الذي لا يُحيطُ بسِرِّه وَصْف ولا يَجري عليه مِثال ، ومع ذلك لا يُخطِئه قلبٌ إذا ما وقع فيه؟!
هذي حكاية قلوبٌ شابّة تتهادَى في أعطافِ الهَوَى ، وأقدارُها تتشابكُ بخيوطٍ خفيّة من شِباك المحبة ولَذّة الترقّب ، وتباريح الشوق ولوعة الفَقْد ، وتتلمّس في خِضَم ذلك كلّه حبل النجاة وسبيل الهدى .
هي قصة الحب ..
وقصة القدر ..
وبينهما قصص أخرى .

وفي هذا العمل، يستخدم (السالم) تقنية الرسالة في معظم نصوصه، حيث الحكاية فيها صيغت بتقنية الرسالة التي تقوم على جدلية المتكلم/المخاطب. فالمتكلم هو هتان/الراوي الحاضر في شكل مباشر في النص، والمخاطب هي حنين البكماء، والحاضرة في شكل غير مباشر من خلال الراوي، ما يجعل النص رسالة طويلة، متعددة الأجزاء، موجهة إلى شخص محدد/غائب، فكانت لغة المجاز حاضرة، والصور الشعرية الشفيفة التي أغنت البعد الجمالي فيها، ورُطّبت سرديتها بماء الشعر.]]>

Each quick 5-20 page entry builds on the previous one, charting Tony’s personal journey from a product designer to a leader, from a startup founder to an executive to a mentor. Tony uses examples that are instantly captivating, like the process of building the very first iPod and iPhone. Every chapter is designed to help readers with a problem they’re facing right now—how to get funding for their startup, whether to quit their job or not, or just how to deal with the jerk in the next cubicle.
Tony forged his path to success alongside mentors like Steve Jobs and Bill Campbell, icons of Silicon Valley who succeeded time and time again. But Tony doesn’t follow the Silicon Valley credo that you have to reinvent everything from scratch to make something great. His advice is unorthodox because it’s old school. Because Tony’s learned that human nature doesn’t change. You don’t have to reinvent how you lead and manage—just what you make.]]>

وقد انطلقت عدة مرات.. كانت تذهب إلى الحقول في شارع بين الجناين.. وكانت في كل مرة تعود من انطلاقها لتستقبلها عمتها بالشبشب، وكان أحياناً يتولى استقبالها زوج عمتها، وكانت في بادئ الأمر تبكي وتصرخ وتستغيث وهي تحت الصفعات وضربات الشبشب، ثم بدأت تدافع عن نفسها وتصرخ وتصد الضربات بذارعيها وتجادل عمتها وزوج عمتها، وقد صاحت في وجههما يوماً: -أنا حرة.. أعمل اللي أنا عايزاه.. ما حدث له دعوة بيّه.
وأخرسها كفّ زوج عمتها بصفعة على شفتيها، وردت عمتها: -حرة!! حر لما

هل هي حرة، وهل يقدّر لها يوماً أن تكون حرّة تفعل ما تريد؟.. متى ستخرج من هذا البيت؟ وإلى أين؟...]]>

الكتاب –وه� في تسعة فصول- بمضمونه العام مجموعة مقالات في المرأة وحبها وبغضها ولؤمها ولكن بعض هذه المقالات اتخذ صفة الحكاية القصصية..
وبعضها تأملات وخواطر في الحب والمرأة..
عدّه بعضهم تكملة لكتاب رسائل الأحزان بينما رأى فيه بعضهم كتابا مختلفا لا يكمل الأول ..
لكني أرى فيه تتمة للحديث عن الحب والمرأة كما في الرسائل .. حتى أن الرافعي رحمه الله يقول في مقدمة الطبعة الأولى لكتابه السحاب الأحمر:
لما كتبت رسائل الأحزان في فلسفة الجمال والحب كنت في تدبيره والرأي فيه كمن يؤرخ عهدا من شبابه بعد أن رقّت سنّه وذهب يقينه من الدنيا ولم يبق إلا ظنه ..
فهو يكتب والكلام يحن لديه والقلم يئن في يديه.. وكل وصف جاء به من الشباب قال رحمة الله عليه!
......(تم الاختصار لطول المقدمة).....
كنت أستوحي الرسائل من تلك النفس التي طارت بي طيرتها البطيء وقوعها فإني لأستعر بها فكرا واشتعل منها خيالا..
وكنت لأرى الفصول تخلص من يدي حين اكتبها كما تخلص سبائك الذهب بعناصرها لا بالصناعة..
وكأن هذا القلم كالحديد إذا أحْمـِـي عليه.. ليست يد لمسته من أيدي المعاني إلا وضع فيها سمة النار..
ثم جاء الكتاب وما أكاد أصدق أن الزمن مرّ به.. و تم قبل أن يُتم القمر دورة شهر واحد .. فنبهني ذلك إلى أن استوفي الكلام في الحب استمدادا من أرواح أخرى.. فوضعت هذا السحاب الأحمر..
ثم يقول في ختام المقدمة:
والناس في هذا الحب أصناف فواحد يجاهد زلات قد وقعت وهو المحب الآثم..
وآخر يجاهد شهوات تهمّ أن تقع وهو المحب المُمتحن..
وثالث أمن هذه وهذه وإنما يجاهد خطرات الفكر وهو المحب ليحب فقط..
ورابع كالقرابة والصديق عجز الناس أن يجدوا في لغاتهم لفظا يلبس هذه العاطفة فيهم فألحقوها بأدنى الأشياء إليها في المعنى وهو الحب..
وعلى الثالث وحده بنيت رسائل الأحزان.. وعلى بعض الرأي في الباقيات كسرت هذا الكتاب..

يجلس الجبلاوي في بيته الكبير المحاط بالحدائق واﻷسوا� العالية ومن حوله أحفاده الذين يتنازعون للحصول على وقفه، ويقوم الفتوات بابعاد هؤلاء عن جنته اﻷرضية� حيث استقرت ذريته خارج أسوار البيت الكبير، وبالرغم من فقرهم الا انهم لم يكفو عن الدعاء بأن ينزل الجبلاوي اليهم ويترك عزلته ويوزع تركته ويخلصهم من بطش الفتوات فيسود الخير على الجميع، ويظهر في كل جيل هذا المخلص والذي يتعلق به الناس وينتفضو معه ضد الفتوات، ولكن الجشع والجهل يرجعهم في اخر المطاف الى ما كانت عليه الاوضاع ويبقى الفقر والمعاناة مصيرهم الذي لا مفر منه.
يصف محفوظ في هذه الرواية الرائعة القهر وشوق الناس إلى الخلاص من أنفسهم، وكيف ان المبادئ يمكن أن تتغير بتأرجح النفوس البشرية، وكيف ان الاعمال الخيرة تقع تحت يد الفساد والمفسدين.
تعد هذه الرواية من أشهر روايات اﻷدي� الراحل وأكثرها إشكالية وقد نوهت اﻷكاديمي� السويدية بها عندما منحت نجيب محفوظ جائزة نوبل للآداب.]]>

It has since become the #1 Personal Finance book of all time... translated into dozens of languages and sold around the world.
Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads � his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad � and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.
20 Years... 20/20 Hindsight
In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on what we’ve seen over the past 20 years related to money, investing, and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book will take readers “fast forward� � from 1997 to today � as Robert assesses how the principles taught by his rich dad have stood the test of time.
In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were criticized and challenged two decades ago, are more meaningful, relevant and important today than they were 20 years ago.
As always, readers can expect that Robert will be candid, insightful... and continue to rock more than a few boats in his retrospective.
Will there be a few surprises? Count on it.
Rich Dad Poor Dad...
� Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich
� Challenges the belief that your house is an asset
� Shows parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money
� Defines once and for all an asset and a liability
� Teaches you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success]]>

Feminism’s success is down to complicated, contradictory, imperfect women, who fought each other as well as fighting for equal rights. Helen Lewis argues that too many of these pioneers have been whitewashed or forgotten in our modern search for feel-good, inspirational heroines. It’s time to reclaim the history of feminism as a history of difficult women.
In this book, you’ll meet the working-class suffragettes who advocated bombings and arson; the princess who discovered why so many women were having bad sex; the pioneer of the refuge movement who became a men’s rights activist; the ‘striker in a sari� who terrified Margaret Thatcher; the wronged Victorian wife who definitely ɲ’t sleeping with the prime minister; and the lesbian politician who outraged the country. Taking the story up to the present with the twenty-first-century campaign for abortion services, Helen Lewis reveals the unvarnished � and unfinished � history of women’s rights.
Drawing on archival research and interviews, Difficult Women is a funny, fearless and sometimes shocking narrative history, which shows why the feminist movement has succeeded � and what it should do next. The battle is difficult, and we must be difficult too.]]>

In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called öäԾԲ, ö meaning “death� and äԾԲ meaning “cleaning.� This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming.
Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.]]>

Why write?
Why write when it sometimes feels that so few people really read--read as if their lives might be changed by what they’re reading? Why write, when the world wants to be informed, not enlightened; to be entertained, not inspired? Writing is backbreaking, mindbreaking, lonely work. So why?
Because writing, as celebrated professor Mark Edmundson explains, is one of the greatest human goods. Real writing can do what critic R. P. Blackmur said it could: add to the stock of available reality. Writing teaches us to think; it can bring our minds to birth. And once we’re at home with words, there are few more pleasurable human activities than writing. Because this is something he believes everyone ought to know, Edmundson offers us Why Write?, essential reading--both practical and inspiring--for anyone who yearns to be a writer, anyone who simply needs to know how to get an idea across, and anyone in between--in short, everyone.]]>

Matilda is a little girl who is far too good to be true. At age five-and-a-half she's knocking off double-digit multiplication problems and blitz-reading Dickens. Even more remarkably, her classmates love her even though she's a super-nerd and the teacher's pet. But everything is not perfect in Matilda's world...
For starters she has two of the most idiotic, self-centered parents who ever lived. Then there's the large, busty nightmare of a school principal, Miss ("The") Trunchbull, a former hammer-throwing champion who flings children at will, and is approximately as sympathetic as a bulldozer. Fortunately for Matilda, she has the inner resources to deal with such annoyances: astonishing intelligence, saintly patience, and an innate predilection for revenge.
Roald Dahl was a spy, ace fighter-pilot, chocolate historian, and medical inventor. He was also the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG, and many more brilliant stories. He remains the World's No. 1 Storyteller.]]>

In his most provocative and practical book yet, one of the foremost thinkers of our time redefines what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others. Citing examples ranging from Hammurabi to Seneca, Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows how the willingness to accept one’s own risks is an essential attribute of heroes, saints, and flourishing people in all walks of life.
As always both accessible and iconoclastic, Taleb challenges long-held beliefs about the values of those who spearhead military interventions, make financial investments, and propagate religious faiths. Among his insights:
� For social justice,focus on symmetry and risk sharing. You cannot make profits and transfer the risks to others, as bankers and large corporations do. You cannot get rich without owning your own risk and paying for your own losses. Forcing skin in the game corrects this asymmetry better than thousands of laws and regulations.
� Ethical rules aren’t universal. You’re part of a group larger than you, but it’s still smaller than humanity in general.
� Minorities, not majorities, run the world. The world is not run by consensus but by stubborn minorities imposing their tastes and ethics on others.
� You can be an intellectual yet still be an idiot. “Educated philistines� have been wrong on everything from Stalinism to Iraq to low-carb diets.
� Beware of complicated solutions (that someone was paid to find). A simple barbell can build muscle better than expensive new machines.
� True religion is commitment, not just faith. How much you believe in something is manifested only by what you’re willing to risk for it.
The phrase “skin in the game� is one we have often heard but rarely stopped to truly dissect. It is the backbone of risk management, but it’s also an astonishingly rich worldview that, as Taleb shows in this book, applies to all aspects of our lives. As Taleb says, “The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that’s necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster,� and “Never trust anyone who doesn’t have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them.”]]>

In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time.
In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer's, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.
But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .
Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s beautiful, moving story explores the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?]]>

New York Times Book Review Editors� Choice
In The Bomber Mafia, Malcolm Gladwell weaves together the stories of a Dutch genius and his homemade computer, a band of brothers in central Alabama, a British psychopath, and pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard to examine one of the greatest moral challenges in modern American history.
Most military thinkers in the years leading up to World War II saw the airplane as an afterthought. But a small band of idealistic strategists, the “Bomber Mafia,� asked: What if precision bombing could cripple the enemy and make war far less lethal?
In contrast, the bombing of Tokyo on the deadliest night of the war was the brainchild of General Curtis LeMay, whose brutal pragmatism and scorched-earth tactics in Japan cost thousands of civilian lives, but may have spared even more by averting a planned US invasion. In The Bomber Mafia, Gladwell asks, “Was it worth it?�
Things might have gone differently had LeMay’s predecessor, General Haywood Hansell, remained in charge. Hansell believed in precision bombing, but when he and Curtis LeMay squared off for a leadership handover in the jungles of Guam, LeMay emerged victorious, leading to the darkest night of World War II. The Bomber Mafia is a riveting tale of persistence, innovation, and the incalculable wages of war.]]>

In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory-the most advanced relationship science in existence today-can help us find and sustain love. Attachment theory forms the basis for many bestselling books on the parent/child relationship, but there has yet to be an accessible guide to what this fascinating science has to tell us about adult romantic relationships-until now.
Attachment theory owes its inception to British psychologist and psychoanalyst John Bowlby, who in the 1950s examined the tremendous impact that our early relationships with our parents or caregivers has on the people we become. Also central to attachment theory is the discovery that our need to be in a close relationship with one or more individuals is embedded in our genes.
In Attached, Levine and Heller trace how these evolutionary influences continue to shape who we are in our relationships today. According to attachment theory, every person behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:
*ANXIOUS people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back.
*AVOIDANT people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.
*SECURE people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.
Attached guides readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mates) follow. It also offers readers a wealth of advice on how to navigate their relationships more wisely given their attachment style and that of their partner. An insightful look at the science behind love, Attached offers readers a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.]]>
