by Andy Cope Gavin OattesFangen Sie an, das Leben zu leben, das Sie sich schon immer gewünscht haben! Es könnte sein, dass Sie alles selbst herausgefunden haben und am Ende einer erfolgreichen Karriere stehen, Ihren perfekten Partner kennengelernt und geheiratet haben, drei wunderbare Kinder hervorgebracht haben, ein Ferienhaus auf Mustique besitzen und ein umwerfend schönes Leben führen. In diesem Fall applaudieren wir Ihnen. Wenn nicht, dann wird Ihnen dieses Buch den entscheidenden Stupser geben.

Zum Glück wird diesen Themen mit Humor begegnet und die Lösungen sind unterhaltsam, machbar und erbaulich. Man könnte auch sagen: "Shine" ist das literarische Äquivalent zu "Strg/Alt/Entf". Alles, was Sie tun müssen, ist das Buch zu lesen, aufgeschlossen zu sein und das Gelernte anzuwenden. Sie werden einen persönlichen Neustart mit neuer Mentalsoftware erleben, die Sie zu Ihrem "bestmöglichen Selbst" aufrüstet. Es ist ein sehr einfacher Prozess, der zufällig auch "nicht sehr einfach" ist. Denn wenn es einfach wäre, sein Bestes zu geben, würde es natürlich jeder tun. Lachen Sie und lernen Sie in diesem Buch: - Entdecken Sie Ihre Fähigkeit, jeden Tag mit Feuer im Bauch und einem Lächeln im Gesicht aus dem Bett zu kommen. - Erkennen Sie, worauf es in Ihrem Leben wirklich ankommt und wie Sie aufhören können, sich über die Dinge, die nicht so wichtig sind, zu stressen. - Konzentrieren Sie sich auf das, was Sie glücklich macht, und hören Sie mit dem Unsinn auf, der Sie grundlos beunruhigt. - Finden Sie heraus, wie einfach es ist, Ihre Energie zu steigern und Ihre Motivation zu erhöhen. - Entdecken Sie, wie Sie aus dem "Gewöhnlichen" ausbrechen und ein Leben des "Außergewöhnlichen" führen können. - Finden Sie heraus, wie Sie Ihrer inneren Mary Poppins einen Weg ebnen können.

In this wonderful book, by the leading expert in the field, science meets nature and mindfulness, as we are encouraged to bathe in the trees and become observers of both the nature around us and the goings on of our own minds.

But for young creative workers, aspiring artists, and intellectuals, grad school is an existential fork in the road. An M.F.A. or a humanities Ph.D. can give you time to invest in studying something you love among like-minded intellectuals and qualify you to teach a new generation of students; but it can also uproot you geographically, expose you to backstabbing competitors, and saddle you with debt. Given the current job market, is grad school really worth it-financially, professionally, and emotionally?In Should I Go to Grad School?, a wide range of people who lead intellectually and creatively interesting lives-sculptors and philosophers, activists and poets, a cocktail designer and a movie star-tell their own stories about choosing to go to grad school-or steering clear-and what that decision has meant in their lives. They give us an inside look at what grad school today is really like, and share the wisdom they wish they could have had going in. They reflect on their divergent paths to success, and muse about the path not taken. With contributors including David Orr, James Franco, Simon Critchley, Terry Castle, Sheila Heti, and many more, Should I Go to Grad School? is a must read for anyone seriously considering that titular question.

Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered (Austin Kleon)
by Austin KleonIn his New York Times bestseller Steal Like an Artist, Austin Kleon showed readers how to unlock their creativity by “stealing” from the community of other movers and shakers. Now, in an even more forward-thinking and necessary book, he shows how to take that critical next step on a creative journey—getting known. Show Your Work! is about why generosity trumps genius. It’s about getting findable, about using the network instead of wasting time “networking.” It’s not self-promotion, it’s self-discovery—let others into your process, then let them steal from you. Filled with illustrations, quotes, stories, and examples, Show Your Work! offers ten transformative rules for being open, generous, brave, productive. In chapters such as You Don’t Have to Be a Genius; Share Something Small Every Day; and Stick Around, Kleon creates a user’s manual for embracing the communal nature of creativity— what he calls the “ecology of talent.” From broader life lessons about work (you can’t find your voice if you don’t use it) to the etiquette of sharing—and the dangers of oversharing—to the practicalities of Internet life (build a good domain name; give credit when credit is due), it’s an inspiring manifesto for succeeding as any kind of artist or entrepreneur in the digital age.
