Be Bad, Better - Rebecca Seal - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Be Bad, Better - Rebecca Seal - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''An anthem! A permission slip! Freedom to be us in full glory and messiness ... a fun and freeing read'' Melissa Hemsley''What a powerful, freeing, thought-provoking read this is. I let out a breath I hadn''t even realised I was holding'' Anna MathurYou do not have to be good. At some point, you''ll have absorbed the message that being good is to be calm, efficient and tidy. Wise and well-meaning people offer to help you become worthy, to be positive and productive and to always say ''yes, I can!'' But what if this is wrong? And what if some of the things we''ve been told are bad, are just as useful as the good? Blending science, expert interviews and practical advice, here is the flipside of everything we''ve been told we should be - and how the bad parts are really not so bad after all. You''ll discover: - Why it''s helpful to feel angry - How it''s counterproductive to always be productive - How laziness can improve your relationships - Why your body is, and has always been, absolutely fine - How clutter inspires creativity and enhances your sense of place - Why mindlessness is good for your mental health Be Bad, Better is not an invitation to start misbehaving but it is about taking what you think are your worst bits and asking what they could do to serve you. Examining how society polices our behaviour and artificially constructs the good and bad, here is a thoughtful and eminently helpful guide to reassessing your ideas of success, embracing every part of yourself and being bad, better.

Good Strategy/Bad Strategy - Richard Rumelt - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Good Strategy/Bad Strategy - Richard Rumelt - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

When Richard Rumelt''s Good Strategy/Bad Strategy was published in 2011, it immediately struck a chord, calling out as bad strategy the mish-mash of pop culture, motivational slogans and business buzz speak so often and misleadingly masquerading as the real thing.Since then, his original and pragmatic ideas have won fans around the world and continue to help readers to recognise and avoid the elements of bad strategy and adopt good, action-oriented strategies that honestly acknowledge the challenges being faced and offer straightforward approaches to overcoming them. Strategy should not be equated with ambition, leadership, vision or planning; rather, it is coherent action backed by an argument.For Rumelt, the heart of good strategy is insight into the hidden power in any situation, and into an appropriate response - whether launching a new product, fighting a war or putting a man on the moon. Drawing on examples of the good and the bad from across all sectors and all ages, he shows how this insight can be cultivated with a wide variety of tools that lead to better thinking and better strategy, strategy that cuts through the hype and gets results.

Be Bad, Better - Rebecca Seal - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Freedom to be us in full glory and messiness ... a fun and freeing read'' Melissa Hemsley''A powerful, freeing, thought-provoking read'' Anna Mathur''For most of my life, I''ve lived as though there''s a Platonic ideal of me, and if I just try hard enough, I can be it.That, my friends, is nuts.''Most of us spend our lives trying to be a better version of ourselves - happier, healthier, fitter, calmer, selfless ... But what if all the things that we''re supposed to be striving for aren''t all they''re cracked up to be? What if we leaned into our ''lesser'' traits instead? Be Bad Better calls into question our constructed ideas of ''good'' and ''bad'' and relentless pursuit of self-improvement. From anger to messiness, laziness to aging, it deconstructs our so-called flaws and instead offers a radical framework for self-acceptance. Fascinating and furious, Be Bad Better shows us that we do not have to be good, and not trying so hard will set us free.

How Bad Are Bananas? - Mike Berners Lee - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

How Bad Are Bananas? - Mike Berners Lee - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

How Bad Are Bananas? was a groundbreaking book when first published in 2009, when most of us were hearing the phrase ''carbon footprint'' for the first time. Mike Berners-Lee set out to inform us what was important (aviation, heating, swimming pools) and what made very little difference (bananas, naturally packaged, are good!). This new edition updates all the figures (from data centres to hosting a World Cup) and introduces many areas that have become a regular part of modern life - Twitter, the Cloud, Bitcoin, electric bikes and cars, even space tourism. Berners-Lee runs a considered eye over each area and gives us the figures to manage and reduce our own carbon footprint, as well as to lobby our companies, businesses and government. His findings, presented in clear and even entertaining prose, are often surprising. And they are essential if we are to address climate change.

Good Strategy/Bad Strategy - Richard Rumelt - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Good Strategy/Bad Strategy - Richard Rumelt - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Even though everyone is talking about it, there is no concept in business today more muddled than 'strategy'. Richard Rumelt, described by McKinsey Quarterly as 'a giant in the field of strategy' and 'strategy's strategist', tackles this problem head-on in a jargon-free explanation of how to develop and take action on strategy, in business, politics and beyond. Rumelt dispels popular misconceptions about strategy - such as confusing it with ambitions, visions or financial goals - by very practically showing that a good strategy focuses on the challenges a business faces, and providing an insightful new approach for overcoming them. His sharp analysis and his brilliant, bold style make his book stand out from its competitors (something that Rumelt himself says is crucial). Rumelt has always challenged dominant thinking, ever since, in 1972, he was the first person to uncover a statistical link between corporate strategy and profitability - and this is his long-awaited tour de force.

The Future Won't Be Long - Jarett Kobek - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Future Won't Be Long - Jarett Kobek - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

It''s the tail-end of 1986 and Baby is the freshest-faced, starriest-eyed young homo in all of New York City, straight off the bus from closeted backwoods Wisconsin. Adeline is his rich-art-school-kid saviour with a bizarre transatlantic drawl and a spare bed.The Future Won''t Be Long follows Baby and Adeline as they cling to each other for dear life through a decade of mad, bad New York life punctuated by the deaths of Warhol, Basquiat and Wojnarowicz and the forcible gentrification of the East Village. While Adeline develops into the artist she never really expected to become, Baby falls into a twilight zone of clubbing, ketamine and late-capitalistic sexual excess. As he struggles to find his way out again, Baby will test the strength of a friendship that had seemed unbreakable.Riotously funny, provocative but tender, The Future Won''t Be Long is a sprawling, ecstatic elegy to New York, and to the friendships that have the power to change - and save - our lives.''A punky, heartbreaking and hilarious epic on America going nowhere, going crazy, going bad. It''s brilliant'' Dorthe Nors, author of Mirror, Shoulder, Signal

Rina really knows her sh*t'' Jameela Jamil''Next level revelatory'' Sarah Knight, internationally-bestselling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ckWhat happens when the cure becomes as bad as the disease?Women are pursuing their health like never before. Whether it''s juicing, biohacking, clutching crystals, or sipping collagen, today there is something for everyone, as the wellness industry has grown from modest roots into a $4.4 trillion movement, promising health and vitality in the most fashionable package. So why are we suddenly all feeling so unwell?Vividly told and deeply reported, The Gospel of Wellness reveals how this obsession is a direct result of gender inequalities and structural sexism within medicine and society.

Red Card - Ken Bensinger - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

WINNER OF THE TELEGRAPH SPORTS AWARD FOOTBALL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019LONGLISTED FOR THE ''Best Sports Book of the 21st Century'' SPORTS BOOK AWARD''Gripping ... Bensinger''s impeccably sourced account serves as a sharp reminder of the gargantuan levels of largesse and excess during Fifa''s bad, bad days - as well as a warning that not enough has been done to prevent them returning.'' Sean Ingle, Guardian''Bensinger deftly deploys novelistic devices to turn it into a real-life detective thriller ... [it] resembles John Grisham'' Private EyeThe story of FIFA''s fall from grace has it all: power, betrayal, revenge, sports stars, hustlers, corruption, sex and phenomenal quantities of money, all set against exotic locales stretching from Caribbean beaches to the formal staterooms of the Kremlin and the sun-blasted streets of Doha, Qatar. In Red Card, investigative journalist Ken Bensinger takes a journey to FIFA''s dark heart. He introduces the flamboyant villains of the piece - the FIFA kingpins who flaunted their wealth in private jets and New York''s grandest skyscrapers - and the dogged team of American FBI and IRS agents, headed by Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who finally brought them to book. Providing fresh insights on a scandal which has gripped the world, he shows how greed and arrogance brought down the most powerful institution in sporting history. A wild, gritty, gripping, and at times blackly comic story, Red Card combines world-class journalism with the pace of a thriller.
