The Power Paradox - Dacher Keltner - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A revolutionary rethinking of everything we know about power It shapes every interaction we have, whether we''re trying to get a two-year-old to eat green vegetables or ask for a promotion at work. But how do we really gain and maintain power - through coercion or cooperation? What does it do to our behaviour? And what makes us lose power? In twenty revolutionary ''power principles'', renowned psychologist Dacher Keltner turns everything we thought we knew about influence and status upside down, redefining power for our times. ''Keltner is the most interesting psychologist in America. It''s only a matter of time before his ideas spread everywhere'' Michael Lewis ''Sheds light on human power''s dark side, as well as its redeeming qualities. Everyone can learn from this wise book'' Susan T. Fiske, author of Social Cognition ''A lively description of how true power is like a return on a social investment in others'' Frans de Waal, author of Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?

Women in Power - Various - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Women in Power - Various - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Classical stories about women who wield power, from the Amazons to Dido to Cleopatra In this fascinating anthology, ancient women threaten male power by stepping into the roles traditionally held by men. They command armies, exercise sexual autonomy, speak in public, issue laws and subject others (even masculine heroes and citizen men) to their control. All of these stories were written by men and none of them can be read as affirmations or celebrations of women in power. Instead, their sexist attitudes continue to justify women’s exclusion from power.Yet despite the fear and suspicion the male authors direct toward these women, we can find much to admire in their tales, from the coordinated action of the women of Aristophanes’s Assemblywomen , to the righteous anger of Boudicca against sexual violence by men in power, to the successful resistance of Amanirenas against Rome’s colonial expansion. Read differently, these tales testify to the long history of women in power and suggest new paths for female empowerment.

The Will to Power - Friedrich Nietzsche - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Will to Power - Friedrich Nietzsche - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''This world is the will to power - and nothing besides!''One of the great minds of modernity, Friedrich Nietzsche smashed through the beliefs of his age. These writings, which did much to establish his reputation as a philosopher, offer some of his most powerful and troubling thoughts: on how the values of a new, aggressive elite will save a nihilistic, mediocre Europe, and, most famously, on the ''will to power'' - ideas that were seized upon and twisted by later readers. Taken from Nietzsche''s unpublished notebooks and assembled by his sister after his death, The Will to Power now appears with previous errors corrected.Translated by R. Kevin Hill and Michael A. Scarpitti with an Introduction and Notes by R. Kevin Hill

Critique of Pure Reason - Immanuel Kant - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Critique of Pure Reason - Immanuel Kant - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Kant''s profound and challenging investigation into the nature of human reason is the central text of modern philosophyIn his landmark work Kant argues that reason is the seat of certain concepts that precede experience and make it possible, but we are not therefore entitled to draw conclusions about the natural world from these concepts. The Critique of Pure Reason brings together two opposing schools of philosophy: rationalism, which grounds all our knowledge in reason, and empiricism, which traces all our knowledge to experience. Kant''s transcendental idealism indicates a third way that goes far beyond these alternatives.Translated, Edited and with an Introduction by Marcus Weigelt Based on the Translation by Max Muller

Power - Michel Foucault - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Power Law - Sebastian Mallaby - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Power Law - Sebastian Mallaby - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

From an award-winning financial historian comes the gripping, character-driven story of venture capital and the world it made Innovations rarely come from "experts." Jeff Bezos was not a bookseller; Elon Musk was not in the auto industry. When it comes to innovation, a legendary venture capitalist told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted , it can only be discovered . Most attempts at discovery fail, but a few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives venture capital, Silicon Valley, the tech sector, and, by extension, the world.Drawing on unprecedented access to the most celebrated venture capitalists of all time, award-winning financial historian Sebastian Mallaby tells the story of this strange tribe of financiers who have funded the world''s most successful companies, from Google to SpaceX to Alibaba. With a riveting blend of storytelling and analysis, The Power Law makes sense of the seeming randomness of success in venture capital, an industry that relies, for good and ill, on gut instinct and personality rather than spreadsheets and data. We learn the unvarnished truth about some of the most iconic triumphs and infamous disasters in the history of tech, from the comedy of errors that was the birth of Apple to the venture funding that fostered hubris at WeWork and Uber to the industry''s notorious lack of women and ethnic minorities.Now the power law echoes around the world: it has transformed China''s digital economy beyond recognition, and London is one of the top cities for venture capital investment. By taking us so deeply into the VCs'' game, The Power Law helps us think about our own future through their eyes.

The Power of Music - Sheku Kanneh Mason - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Power of Music - Sheku Kanneh Mason - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Sheku believes that the future of classical music is bright, and in the hands of young musicians like him, it certainly is’ John Suchet Music is what makes us alive, mindful and connected to each other. Music is what makes us human. This is the power of music. Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason knows and feels the transformative power of music as much as any musician alive. From winning the prestigious BBC Young Musician Award to performing at Harry and Meghan’s wedding; from Bach’s solo suites to Bob Marley’s reggae; his ferocious passion shines through in every single performance, whether in a packed-out concert hall or on record.But how was it that someone like him – a person of colour, from a state school in Nottingham – rose to the upper echelons of the classical music world? What were the obstacles that he had to overcome, what did he learn along the way, and how could a young person follow in his footsteps today?In The Power of Music , Sheku explores the experiences and values that led him here, from a childhood of football practice and family music sessions, to his work today in the world’s finest concert halls and in the less privileged communities that surround them. As his star continues to rise, he shows us the darker side of an industry ruled by exclusivity and stubborn adherence to tradition.With its power to transform our mental and physical health, to effect social change, and to make a house a home, Sheku shows us that classical music is for everyone, not just an elite few. The Power of Music is a celebration of music of all sorts and those who make it, and a rallying call to change. ‘A heartfelt plea for the importance of excellence in music performance and education, from one of the leading role models of our time'' Sir Nicholas Kenyon, former director of the BBC Proms and Barbican Centre''Powerful and inspiring'' Sir Stephen Hough

War and Power - Phillips Payson O'brien - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

War and Power - Phillips Payson O'brien - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

'Phillips O'Brien is one of the keenest observers of modern strategy, and his new book takes a deep historical look at the evolution of warfare and its implications for conflicts like the ongoing one in Ukraine' Francis Fukuyama--------------------War and power are two of the most-widely discussed issues in all of human history, and yet they are, time and again, misunderstood — often disastrously so. Whilst we might think the outcome of war is determined by so-called ‘Great Powers’ who dominate their opponents with their impressive size and military prowess, the reality of modern conflict, as renowned strategic historian Professor Phillips Payson O’Brien demonstrates, is very different. He urges us instead to look for ‘Full Spectrum Powers’. For if we are considering how powerful a nation is and who will win a war, we need to think less about weapons, and more about the economies and societies that produce them; less about individual battles, and more about sustaining campaigns and alliances in which states operate. Using fascinating examples from the late 19th century to the present day, War and Power explains how misunderstanding war and power has led to terrible, even preventable conflicts – such as the war in Ukraine – and how more accurate analysis can help us consider the potential conflict between the US and China. War and Power provides a bold new way of understanding the dangerous world around us. --------------------'Phillips O'Brien is always fantastic. Heterodox. He's pretty scathing, even about Biden administration policy . . . A really interesting book' Paul Krugman, Distinguished Professor of Economics'As Phillips O'Brien points out in this important book, the character of war evolves, but some of the underlying truths, particularly from the second World War, are still very much with us.'

Rivers of Power - Laurence C. Smith - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''As fascinating as it is beautifully written'' JARED DIAMOND, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs and Steel Rivers, more than any road, technology or political event, have shaped the course of civilization. Rivers have opened frontiers, defined borders, supported trade, generated energy and fed billions. Most of our greatest cities stand on river banks or deltas, and our quest for mastery has spurred staggering advances in engineering, science and law. Rivers and their topographic divides have shaped the territories of nations and the migration of peoples, and yet - as their resources become ever more precious - can foster cooperation even among enemy states. And though they become increasingly domesticated, they remain a formidable global force: these vast arterial powers promote life but are capable of destroying everything in their path.From ancient Egypt to our growing contemporary metropolises, Rivers of Power reveals why rivers matter so profoundly to human civilization, and how they continue to be indispensable to our societies and wellbeing .''Takes readers on a tour of the world''s great rivers - past, present and future. The result is fascinating, eye-opening, sometimes alarming, and ultimately inspiring '' Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction ''A tour de force ... From Herodotus musing on the Nile to the dam makers of modern China, this is their story '' Fred Pearce, author of When the Rivers Run Dry ''Instructive and entertaining'' The Times

Personality and Power - Ian Kershaw - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Personality and Power - Ian Kershaw - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

One of the great historians of our age asks: how far can a single leader alter the course of history? The modern era saw the emergence of individuals who had command over a terrifying array of instruments of control, persuasion and death. Whole societies were re-shaped and wars fought, often with a merciless contempt for the most basic norms. At the summit of these societies were leaders whose personalities had somehow given them the ability to do whatever they wished.Ian Kershaw''s new book is a compelling, lucid and challenging attempt to understand these rulers, whether operating on the widest stage (Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini) or with a more national impact (Tito, Franco). What was it about these leaders and the times they lived in that allowed them such untrammelled and murderous power? And what brought that era to an end? In a contrasting group of profiles, from Churchill to de Gaulle, Adenauer to Gorbachev, and Thatcher to Kohl, Kershaw uses his exceptional skills to think through how other, strikingly different figures wielded power.

The Power of Bad - John Tierney - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Power of Bad - John Tierney - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Why does a bad impression last longer than a good one? Why does losing money affect us more than gaining it? What makes phobias so hard to shake? The answer is the negativity bias - or in other words, the power of bad. As John Tierney and Roy F. Baumeister show, we are wired to react to bad events more strongly than good ones. It makes sense in evolutionary terms, but in our modern world the lure of bad is more powerful than ever. It governs our moods, drives marketing and dominates the news. It can explain everything from why wars start or couples divorce, to why we mess up job interviews or feud with neighbours. But there is good news. By using smart strategies from new science, we can train our brains to get better at spotting our own negativity bias, fighting back with our rational minds to manage the bad in our lives - and even using its power for positive results.

Power Failure - William D. Cohan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A magisterial history of the astounding rise - and unimaginable fall - of America''s most iconic corporation Perhaps no company reflects American ingenuity, innovation, and industrial fortunes as well as the iconic General Electric Company. Producing storied leaders and almost every product imaginable, GE built a cult of success that hid cracks in its foundation. In this masterful history, William D. Cohan, one of America''s most pre-eminent financial journalists, argues that GE''s legacy is both a paragon and a cautionary tale through which to understand twentieth-century America. Power Failure limns the eventful 130-year history of GE, bringing fresh analysis drawn from rare interviews with key figures of the company''s golden era, including Jack Welch himself. As Cohan recounts, Welch traded on a sterling legacy to make GE the most valuable and respected company in the world, while cloaking its vulnerabilities. What he handed to his successor Jeffrey Immelt was, Cohan argues, both an impossible standard and a more troubled reality. Tracing the company''s leaps and stumbles through the personalities that defined it, Power Failure offers a surprising retelling of the GE story, puncturing the myth we think we know for a fresh look at its legacy - and what it tells us about the state of the financial world.

Good and Bad Power - Geoff Mulgan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Good and Bad Power - Geoff Mulgan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

How can we make the governments on which we depend for our welfare and survival behave like servants rather than masters? This is the oldest question in politics. It has been grappled with, but never satisfactorily answered, for thousands of years. In much of the world states remain oppressive, secretive and violent. It is no surprise that so much recent political theory has been concerned with how to protect people from dangerous states. Yet the only things as bad as states that are too strong are states that are too weak. The old democracies of western Europe and north America have achieved a rough balance between being too strong and too weak, yet still suffer from constant crises of moral purpose. There is a growing trend of anti-politics, manifest in falling turnouts and party membership, and an assumption that politicians represent the worst venality rather than the highest ideals. Something has gone badly wrong in our relationship with power. This book explains why we have arrived at this point, what can be done to change the world, and how the power of governments can be used for good.

The Power of Language - Viorica Marian - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Why should we learn more than one language? Can it change the way we think? Does it have the power to transform how we see the world? You may think you speak only one language. In fact, your mind is interpreting multiple codes of communication. Some people speak Spanish, some Mandarin. Some speak poetry, some are fluent in maths. Humans are built for multilingualism.Drawing on cutting-edge research and theory, delivered with wit and lucid insight, psycholinguist Viorica Marian explores the ways in which the mind uses multiple languages and how, in doing so, we can open the doors to unique forms of creativity, brain health and cognitive control. Every new language we speak - whether it is coding or musical notes, Hindi or Arabic - shapes how we extract and interpret information. It alters what we remember, how we perceive ourselves and those around us, how we feel, the insights we have, the decisions we make and the actions we take. The Power of Language lays bare how we use different linguistic codes to think about the world - and change our place within it. Empowering and practical, this is the perfect guide for anyone interested in how language really works.
