James Clear

THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER – 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour – starting now. People think when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions – doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life. ________________________________ ‘A supremely practical and useful book.’ Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck ‘James Clear has spent years honing the art and studying the science of habits.

Cal Newport

One of the most valuable skills in our economy is becoming increasingly rare. If you master this skill, you'll achieve extraordinary results. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world. 'Deep work' is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. Coined by author and professor Cal Newport on his popular blog Study Hacks, deep work will make you better at what you do, let you achieve more in less time and provide the sense of true fulfilment that comes from the mastery of a skill. In short, deep work is like a superpower in our increasingly competitive economy. And yet most people, whether knowledge workers in noisy open-plan offices or creatives struggling to sharpen their vision, have lost the ability to go deep - spending their days instead in a frantic blur of email and social media, not even realising there's a better way. A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, DEEP WORK takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories -- from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air -- and surprising suggestions, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Put simply: developing and cultivating a deep work practice is one of the best decisions you can make in an increasingly distracted world and this book will point the way.

Blake Crouch

Het leven bestaat uit keuzes. Door één pad te kiezen, sluit je het andere af. Maar wat als dat nu eens niet zo is? Wat als je in een andere werkelijkheid dat andere pad volgt. Wat als je spijt krijgt van je keuzen? 'Ben je gelukkig met je leven?' Dat zijn de laatste woorden die Jason Desson hoort vóórdat de gemaskerde ontvoerder hem bewusteloos slaat. En voordat hij wakker wordt en merkt dat hij vastgeketend is aan een ziekenhuisbed, omgeven door mensen die hij niet kent, die gekleed zijn in beschermende pakken en een man die Jason nog nooit heeft gezien naar hem glimlacht en zegt: 'Welkom terug, vriend.' IN de wereld waarin Jason Wakker is geworden is niets zoals hij gewend is. Zijn vrouw is niet zijn vrouw. Zijn zoon is nooit geboren. Jason zelf is geen doorneeprofessor in natuurkunde. Is déze wereld of de wereld waar hij vandaan komt een droom? En zelfs als de wereld die hij zich herinnert echt is, hoe kan hij die dan ooit weer terugvinden? De antwoorden liggen in een reis die wonderlijker en afschuwelijker is dan alles wat hij zich ooit had kunnen voorstellen. Een reis die hem dwingt naar de donkerste krochten van zijn ziel te kijken, terwijl hij het moet opnemen tegen een angstaanjagende, nagenoeg onverslaanbare vijand.
