Sunday Timesi ja New York Timesi parim bestseller kategoorias „meie aja mõjukaim intellektuaal“. Reeglid? Rohkem reegleid? Tõsiselt? Kas elu ei ole juba piisavalt piiranguid täis? Ja miks üldse eeldada, et mingitest reeglitest võiks abi olla? Jordan B. Peterson väidab, et meil on reeglite suhtes vastakad tunded isegi kui teame, et need toovad meile kasu. Söakad, iseloomuga hinged tunnetavad end reeglitest veel eriti ahistatuna. Peterson väidab aga, et ilma reegliteta muutub inimene kiiresti oma ihade orjaks ning selles pole midagi vabastavat. Latid langevad ja väärtused ähmastuvad piirini, mis ei ole enam meie väärilised. Ta leiab, et parimad reeglid aitavad meil jõuda eesmärkideni ning täisväärtuslikuma, vabama eluni. Puistades tabavaid näiteid nii oma enda elust kui ka kliinilisest tööst, samuti filosoofiast, psühholoogiast ning inimkonna vanimatest müütidest, pakub ta ümbritsevale kaosele võimast vastumürki. Ta toob välja kaksteist sügavmõttelist, samas ootamatult praktilist printsiipi, kuidas elada mõtestatud elu. Ta demonstreerib ilmekalt, et eesmärk saada õnnelikuks on üsna mõttetu ning väidab, et selle asemel tuleks keskenduda hoopis elu mõtte leidmisele. Sest just see pakub kaitset kannatuste eest, millega elu meid paratamatult kostitab. Kuna inimkonnal pole veel tänapäevasel teadusel põhinevat eetikat, ei üritagi Peterson oma reeglitega lauda tühjaks lüüa ning heita tühipalja ebausuna kõrvale aastatuhandete tarkust ja meie suurimaid moraalseid saavutusi. Ta teeb seda, mida mõistlikud teejuhid on alati teinud – ta ei väida, et inimlik tarkus algab temast, vaid pöördub oma teejuhtide poole. Ja kuigi raamatu teemad on tõsised, käsitleb ta neid sageli kergel toonil ning siira mõnuga. Tunnustatud kliiniline psühholoog professor Jordan B. Peterson on tuntavalt mõjutanud tänapäevast arusaama isiksusest. Temast on saanud meie aja üks populaarsemaid mõtlejaid, kelle loengud romantilistest suhetest, Piiblist, mütoloogiast ning teistest teemadest on paelunud kümnete miljonite kuulajate tähelepanu. Ajal, mil meid on tabanud ennenägematu muutuste voog ning poliitiline polariseerumine, on tema selge ning otsekohene sõnum vastutusest ja iidsete tarkuste väärtustest leidnud kõlapinda terves maailmas. <br><br> Autorid: Jordan B. Peterson, Ave Põlenik-Schweiger, Janek Saareoja <br>

Whether it's called 'dry drunk' or 'white knuckle sobriety,' it's that stage in recovery when we realize that 'putting the plug in the jug' isn't enough. The next step is taking responsibility for the emotional immaturity that fuels our addictive personality, and which has a tremendous impact on ourselves and others.In 12 Smart Things to Do When the Booze and Drugs Are Gone, Allen Berger, Ph.D., draws on the teachings of Bill W. and psychotherapy pioneers to offer twelve hallmarks of emotional sobriety that, when practiced, give people the confidence to be accountable for their behavior, ask for what they want and need, and grow and develop a deeper trust in the process of life. These 'smart things' include:Understanding who you are and what's important to you.Learning not to take others' reactions personally.Trusting your own inner compass.Taking responsibility for your reactions to problematic situations.It is in these practices that we find release from what Bill W. described as an 'absolute dependency' on people or circumstances, and develop the tools to find prestige, security, and belonging within. <br><br> Autorid: Allen Berger <br>

Advises recovering addicts on maintaining their sobriety by acknowledging the twelve most common self-defeating thoughts that lead to relapse, and provides tools for working through these problems in daily life. Are you sabotaging your own recovery?To grow in recovery, we must grow up emotionally. This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk. Although there are as many ways to mess up recovery as there are alcoholics and addicts, some general themes exist, which include:• confusing self-concern with selfishness• not making amends• using the program to try to become perfect• not getting help for relationship troubles• believing that life should be easyIn simple, down-to-earth language, Allen Berger explores the twelve most commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery.

Sünnipäev on üks väga tore päev. Selles raamatus on tervelt kaksteist sünnipäeva ja raamatu peategelane Rasmus saab loomulikult osa kõigist neist. Igal peol soovitakse sünnipäevalapsele õnne ja lauldakse sünnipäevalaulu, kuid kõik muu ei pruugi üldse sarnane olla. Sünnipäevast saab teha karnevali või mängutoamöllu, sünnipäeva võib kasvõi loomaaias pidada ja miks mitte ka issi-emme suures voodis, kui terve pere on parajasti haigeks jäänud. <br><br> Autorid: Tuulike Kivestu-Rotella, Meelike Saarna <br>

'Crofts constructs his alibi with immense elaboration...The story is highly successful, and Mr Crofts is to be congratulated upon his experiment' - Dorothy L. SayersWe begin with a body. Andrew Crowther, a wealthy retired manufacturer, is found dead in his seat on the 12.30 flight from Croydon to Paris. Rather less orthodox is the ensuing flashback in which we live with the killer at every stage, from the first thoughts of murder to the strains and stresses of living with its execution. Seen from the criminal's perspective, a mild-mannered Inspector by the name of French is simply another character who needs to be dealt with. This is an unconventional yet gripping story of intrigue, betrayal, obsession, justification and self-delusion. And will the killer get away with it? <br><br> Autorid: Freeman Wills Crofts <br>

A new translation of Sade’s most notorious, shocking, and influential novel This distressing but hugely important text, which the Marquis de Sade himself called “the most impure tale that has ever been written since the world exists,” has influenced countless major artists and thinkers throughout history. Flaubert and Baudelaire both read Sade, the surrealists were obsessed with him, filmmakers like Pasolini saw parallels with twentieth-century history in his writings, and feminists such as Simone de Beauvoir and Angela Carter fought over him. This new translation brings Sade’s provocative novel into Penguin Classics for the first time, and will reignite the debate around this most controversial of writers. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. <br><br> Autorid: Marquis de Sade, Will McMorran, Thomas Wynn <br>

The 120 Days of Sodom is the Marquis de Sade's masterpiece. A still unsurpassed catalogue of sexual perversions and the first systematic exploration of the psychopathology of sex, it was written during Sade's lengthy imprisonment for sexual deviancy and blasphemy and then lost after the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution in 1789. Later rediscovered, the manuscript remained unpublished until 1936 and is now introduced by Simone de Beauvoir's landmark essay, 'Must We Burn Sade?' Unique in its enduring capacity to shock and provoke, The 120 Days of Sodom must stand as one of the most controversial books ever written, and a fine example of the Libertine novel, a genre inspired by eroticism and anti-establishmentarianism, that effectively ended with the French Revolution. <br><br> Autorid: Marquis De Sade, Simone de Beauvoir <br>

On 15 June 1215, rebel barons forced King John to meet them at Runnymede. They did not trust the King, so he was not allowed to leave until his seal was attached to the charter in front of him. This was Magna Carta. It was a revolutionary document. Never before had royal authority been so fundamentally challenged. Nearly 800 years later, two of the charter's sixty-three clauses are still a ringing expression of freedom for mankind: 'To no one will we sell, to no one will we deny or delay right or justice'. And: 'No free man shall be taken or imprisoned or in any way ruined, except by the lawful judgement of his peers or by the law of the land'. 1215 - THE YEAR OF THE MAGNA CARTA explores what it was like to be alive in that momentous year. Political power struggles are interwoven with other issues - fashion, food, education, medicine, religion, sex. Whether describing matters of state or domestic life, this is a treasure house of a book, rich in detail and full of enthralling insights into the medieval world. <br><br> Autorid: Danny Danziger, John Gillingham, Danny Danziger <br>

An engrossing history of the pivotal year when the future of England was secured. A Sunday Times Book of the Week 'A thrilling episode from England's medieval history.' Dan Jones, The Sunday TimesAn engrossing history of the pivotal year when the future of England was secured.In 1215 King John had agreed to the terms of Magna Carta, but then reneged on his word, plunging the kingdom into war. Rebellious barons offered the throne to the French prince Louis and set off a chain of events that almost changed the course of English history.Louis arrived in May 1216, was proclaimed king in London, and by the autumn had half of England under his control. However, the choice of a French prince had enormous repercussions: now not merely an internal rebellion, but a war in which the defenders were battling to prevent a foreign takeover. John's death in October 1216 left the throne in the hands of his 9-year-old son, Henry, and his regent, William Marshal, which changed the face of the war again, for now the king trying to fight off an invader was not a hated tyrant but an innocent child.1217 charts the nascent sense of national identity that began to swell. Three key battles would determine England's destiny. The fortress of Dover was besieged, the city of Lincoln was attacked, and a great invasion force set sail and, unusually for the time, was intercepted at sea. Catherine Hanley expertly navigates medieval siege warfare, royal politics, and fighting at sea to bring this remarkable period of history to life. <br><br> Autorid: Catherine Hanley, Tina Ross <br>
