How To Think More About Sex
In this rigorous and supremely honest book Alain de Botton helps us navigate the intimate and exciting – yet often confusing and difficult – experience that is sex.
Few of us tend to feel we’re entirely normal when it comes to sex, and what we think we’re supposed to be feeling rarely matches up with the reality. How to Think More About Sex argues that 21st-century sex is ultimately fated to be a balancing act between love and desire, adventure and commitment.
Covering topics that include lust, fetishism, adultery and pornography, Alain de Botton frankly articulates the dilemmas of modern sexuality, offering insights and consolation to help us think more deeply and wisely about the sex we are, or aren’t, having.
The School of Life looks at new ways of thinking about life’s biggest questions. Discover more fascinating books from the series with How to Stay Sane and How to Be Alone.
How to Think More Effectively
A guide to identifying, nurturing and growing our insight and creativity for more effective thinking.
We know that our minds are capable of great things because, every now and then, they come out with a very brilliant idea or two. However, our minds are also tantalisingly unpredictable, spending worryingly large stretches of time idling or distracting themselves.
This is a book about how to optimise these beautiful yet fitful instruments so that they can more regularly and generously produce the sort of insights and ideas we need to fulfil our potential - and achieve the contentment we deserve. We learn - among other things - how to grasp fragile and flighty thoughts before they disappear through anxiety and fear, at what times of day to try to work and for how long, how to make use of our boredom and instincts - and how to overcome timid and predictable approaches to the largest problems.

Think Again
If you can change your mind you can do anything.
Why do we refresh our wardrobes every year, renovate our kitchens every decade, but never update our beliefs and our views? Why do we laugh at people using computers that are ten years old, but yet still cling to opinions we formed ten years ago?
There's a new skill for the modern world that matters more than raw intelligence - the ability to change your mind. To have the edge we all need to develop the flexibility to unlearn old beliefs and adapt when the evidence and the world changes before us.
Told through fascinating stories, informed by cutting-edge research and illustratedwith amazing insights from Adam Grant's conversations with people such as Elon Musk, Hilary Clinton's campaign team, top CEOs and leading scientists, this is the ultimate guide to keeping your thinking fresh, learning when to question your ideas and update your own opinions, and how to inspire those around you to do the same.

Starec a more príbehov
Starý kníhkupec Carl už niekoľko desaťročí dennodenne kráča mestom s ruksakom na chrbte, aby doručil knihy ich budúcim majiteľom. Za tie roky neodmysliteľne patrí ku koloritu mesta, ľudia ho spoznávajú, no zároveň zostáva pre nich neviditeľný. Carlovi to vyhovuje, netúži po zmenách či prekvapeniach. Žije vo vlastnej bubline, kde sa reálny svet prelína s literárnym a skutoční ľudia s románovými postavami. Zmyslom jeho života sú každodenné roznášky a stretnutia so zákazníkmi.
Jedného dňa vtrhne do jeho pokojného života uragán v podobe prostorekej deväťročnej Saše. Ich vzájomné rozhovory sú konfrontáciou dvoch odlišných pohľadov na život a vyústia do mnohých úsmevných situácií.
Starec a more príbehov je oslavou zázračnej schopnosti kníh spájať ľudí. Knižka v sebe skrýva viacero pohľadov, predovšetkým však láskavý a úsmevný príbeh čudáckeho dôchodcu a neposednej zvedavej školáčky. Čitateľ však objaví aj mnoho odkazov na iné známe či menej známe knižné tituly. Ak ich dokáže "prečítať", odmenou mu budú hlbšie vrstvy a významy textu. Láskavá a múdra kniha rozveselí, dojme a poteší mladých i starších čitateľov. Určite sa k nej budú s radosťou vracať.

Bezhviezdne more
Aká je skutočná sila príbehov? To sa snaží zistiť Erin Morgenstern v románe Bezhviezdne more, ktorý je jej vyznaním lásky všetkým čitateľom, neskutočne snovým, znepokojujúcim i vášnivým, prekypujúcim citmi a mystériami.

Oceán more
V hostinci Almayer na brehu mora sa zišla zvláštna spoločnosť: maliar, ktorý maľuje bielou farbou na biele plátno a pokúša sa zachytiť podstatu mora, profesor, ktorý sa iným spôsobom pokúša o to isté, žena, ktorú sem poslal jej muž, aby sa zotavila z nevery, a žena, ktorej má more vyliečiť precitlivelosť. Čo vlastne pochopili z mora a o mori, z tej tichej i búrlivej šíravy bez začiatku a konca? V hostinci plynie čas každému inak, a predsa rovnako. Pochopiť možno azda iba to, že minulosť je prítomnosť a budúcnosť zasa len prítomnosť. Oceán more je poetickým rozprávaním z pera obľúbeného talianskeho spisovateľa Alessandra Baricca. Vo Vydavateľstve SLOVART vyšli jeho romány Hodváb, Pán Gwyn, Trikrát na svitaní, Mladá nevesta a iné.

How to be Well Read
Ranging all the way from Aaron's Rod to Zuleika Dobson, via The Devil Rides Out and Middlemarch, literary connoisseur and sleuth John Sutherland offers his very personal guide to the most rewarding, most remarkable and, on occasion, most shamelessly enjoyable works of fiction ever written.
He brilliantly captures the flavour of each work and assesses its relative merits and demerits. He shows how it fits into a broader context and he offers endless snippets of intriguing information: did you know, for example, that the Nazis banned Bambi or that William Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying on an upturned wheelbarrow; that Voltaire completed Candide in three days, or that Anna Sewell was paid GBP20 for Black Beauty? It is also effectively a history of the novel in 500 or so wittily informative, bite-sized pieces.
Encyclopaedic and entertaining by turns, this is a wonderful dip-in book, whose opinions will inform and on occasion, no doubt, infuriate.

How to Avoid a Climate Disaster
In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical - and accessible - plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe.
Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide toward certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal.
He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions-suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise.
As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

Keď však do Bukovej hory zavíta na koncert slávna speváčka Eli Omis, z cukrárne zmizne more, vlastne obraz, na ktorom je more namaľované a detektívne pátranie sa môže začať...
