Women and Leadership - Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala - Bog - Biografier - Transworld Publishers Ltd

Women and Leadership - Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala - Bog - Biografier - Transworld Publishers Ltd

For readers of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sheryl Sandberg and Mary Beard, Women and Leadership is a powerful call to arms about the lack of women at the top. ''Who better qualified to delve into this topic?'' Business Life _______________Women make up less than 10 per cent of national leaders. Behind this statistic lies a pattern of unequal access to power. Drawing on current research and in conversation with some of the world''s most powerful and interesting women about their lived experience, Gillard and Okonjo-Iweala explore gender bias and ask how we get more women into leadership roles. Speaking honestly and freely, women leaders such as Jacinda Ardern , Hillary Clinton , Michelle Bachelet and Theresa May talk about their ideas receiving less acknowledgement than their male colleagues'' ideas, what it''s like to be body-shamed in the media, and the things they wish they had done differently. Their stories reveal how gender and sexism affect perceptions of women as leaders, their pathways to power and the circumstances in which their leadership comes to an end. The result is a rare insight into life as a leader and a powerful call to arms for women everywhere.

After - MD Greyson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd

After - MD Greyson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd

After is a ground-breaking book for anyone curious about the scope of the human mind, the nature of consciousness, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. ''Absorbing and convincing'' Daily Mail An Independent book of the month ___ What happens when we die? Ten per cent of people whose hearts stop, and then restart, report near-death experiences. Stories of lights, tunnels and reunion with late loved ones have been relayed - and dismissed - since ancient times. But when Dr Bruce Greyson''s patients started describing events that he simply could not dismiss, he began to investigate.In After, he shares the scientific revelations of four decades of research into the dying process. He has become increasingly convinced that dying is less an ending than a transition, the threshold between one form of consciousness and another. Dr Greyson challenges us to consider what these lessons can teach us about the relationship between our brain and our mind, expanding our understanding of consciousness and of what it means to be human.___ '' A book that will challenge your understanding about how the world works '' The Independent ''[Dr Greyson is] a dominant force at the frontier of this intriguing field'' The Times ''A major contribution to the study of what happens when we die, and will quickly prove to be a classic in near-death studies.''

For the Anfield faithful, Jamie Carragher represents everything that is great about Liverpool Football Club, prompting the Kop to sing ''we all dream of a team of Carraghers''.

A Scouser through and through, Carra also has some forthright views on the England team, and tells why he rejected calls to return to the international fold.Full of sensational stories and controversial opinions, of glory and heartbreak on and off the pitch, Carra: My Autobiography is a football book unlike any other.

Black and White Thinking - Dr Kevin Dutton - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd

Black and White Thinking - Dr Kevin Dutton - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd

A Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Daniel Pink and Adam Grant NEXT BIG IDEA book club read about how to avoid the pitfalls of too little, and too much, complexity. ''Essential insights into the character of human choice and decision-making.'' ROBERT CIALDINI, bestselling author of Influence ________ In this groundbreaking exploration of how our brains work, psychologist Professor Kevin Dutton explains that by understanding the nature of our hardwired black and white thinking we are better equipped to negotiate life''s grey zones and make subtler and smarter decisions.Our brains are hardwired to sort, categorize and draw lines. It''s how we navigate the kaleidoscope of everyday information. Yet imagine failing an exam by a mere 1 per cent. Or being caught speeding at just 1 mph over the speed limit. We have to draw the line somewhere, we say. But lines can be unhelpful or even dangerous when drawn where they aren''t wanted, or in too thick a hand. By thinking in terms of '' ''them'' or ''us'' and ''this'' or ''that'' we isolate ourselves from ideas we don''t agree with and people who are not the same as us. We fail to listen to the other side of the argument and beliefs become polarized. Intolerance and extremism flourish. The human race has survived by making binary decisions, but such thinking might also destroy us. We may be programmed to think in black and white but rainbow thinking is the key to our cognitive future.__________ ''Fascinating, important and entirely convincing.'' SIR PHILIP PULLMAN

Between Two Kingdoms - Suleika Jaouad - Bog - Biografier - Transworld Publishers Ltd

Between Two Kingdoms - Suleika Jaouad - Bog - Biografier - Transworld Publishers Ltd

''A propulsive, soulful story of mourning and gratitude - and an intimate portrait of one woman''s sojourn in the wilderness between life and death.'' TARA WESTOVER, author of Educated __________ We all face moments that bring us to our knees: heartbreak, trauma, illness. When things don''t go to plan this is the book to reach for - an inspirational memoir about what we can learn about life from a brush with death. At just twenty-two, on the cusp of adult life, Suleika Jaouad was diagnosed with leukemia and given a 35 per cent chance of survival. For the next five years, her world comprised four white walls, a hospital bed, fluorescent lights, tubes and wires. She became patient 5624. At twenty-seven, and celebrating her first year of remission, Suleika realized that, having survived, she now had no idea how to live. And so she set out to meet some of the many strangers who had written to her about their experiences of life, death, healing and recovery in response to her Emmy-Award winning New York Times column, ''Life Interrupted''. Between Two Kingdoms is the result. Drawing on Suleika''s TED Talk, now with 4 million views, it illuminates universal questions about how we live, mourn, heal and grow up, and what it means to begin again. __________ Praise for Between Two Kingdoms : ''A work of breathtaking creativity and heart-stopping humanity.'' ELIZABETH GILBERT, author of Eat Pray Love ''A beautiful, elegant and heart-breaking book that provides a glimpse into the kingdom of illness.'' SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies ''No more doomscrolling. Read this book instead... Full of wisdom and resilience.'' ADAM GRANT, author of Originals ''A deeply touching account of learning to live in the now, because nothing else is promised. I loved it.'' KATHRYN MANNIX, author of With the End in Mind
