"She used to love sports, but now she just mopes around." "My kid has turned into such a slacker!" Over the course of her 25-year career, psychologist and learning expert Ellen Braaten has begun to notice a trend. More and more parents are coming to her because their kids couldn't care less about anything. How do bright, motivated young children become such unmotivated older kids and teens--and what can parents do about it? In this warm and encouraging guide, Dr. Braaten explains that kids who have lost the will to do anything (other than play video games) need more than simple encouragement or the "right" school, teacher, or coach to get back on track. Instead, Dr. Braaten helps parents understand the myriad biological, emotional, cognitive, and social factors that affect motivation--and build a plan to boost their child's confidence, incentive to learn, and engagement in life"--

In Feminism is Queer, Mimi Marinucci provides a valuable introduction to the intimately related disciplines of gender and queer theory, and develops the innovative concept of queer feminism, which treats queer theory as being continuous with feminist theory. While there were significant conceptual tensions between second-wave feminism and traditional lesbian and gay studies, queer feminism offers a paradigm for understanding gender, sex and sexuality that overcomes this conflict in order to foster solidarity between those campaigning for women's rights and those for LGBTQ rights. This updated and expanded edition engages with the latest developments in feminism and queer theory, including the new forms of both feminism and 'antifeminism' which have developed within online communities, the growing prominence of trans experiences in popular media, and the relevancy of queer feminism to a new generation of feminist activists. Feminism is Queer remains the indispensable guide for anyone with an interest in gender, sexuality, and the connections between feminism and queer issues.

Dopo la morte del marito, Sheryl Sandberg si sentiva priva di gioia, descrivendo un "immenso buco nero" che limitava la sua capacità di pensare e respirare. Tuttavia, il suo amico Adam Grant le rivelò che esistono azioni concrete per guarire anche dalle esperienze più devastanti. La resilienza non è una qualità fissa, ma un muscolo che possiamo allenare. "Option B" unisce le esperienze personali di Sandberg con le ricerche di Grant su come trovare la forza per andare avanti nonostante le avversità. A partire dal momento straziante in cui ha trovato il marito, Dave Goldberg, senza vita, Sheryl condivide il suo profondo dolore e il senso di isolamento che ha provato. Tuttavia, il libro va oltre il lutto, esplorando le esperienze di persone che hanno superato difficoltà significative, come malattie, perdita del lavoro, aggressioni sessuali, disastri naturali e violenze. Le loro storie testimoniano la resilienza dello spirito umano e la capacità di riscoprire la gioia. La resilienza nasce dal nostro intimo, ma è anche alimentata dal supporto degli altri: anche dopo le esperienze più devastanti, è possibile crescere, trovare un significato più profondo e apprezzare di più la vita.

How can we originate new ideas, policies and practices without risking it all? This book shows how to improve the world by championing novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battling conformity, and bucking outdated traditions. It explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, and build a coalition of allies.

It's one thing to have new ideas, but another to stand up for them. Adam Grant, one of his generation's most provocative thought leaders, explores how individuals can recognize good ideas and speak up without getting silenced, parents can raise creative children, and leaders can build cultures that fight group-think and promote innovation. Using remarkable studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant shows that original thinkers are surprisingly similar to the rest of us. They procrastinate. They grapple with doubt and fear. They have bad ideas. What sets them apart is that they choose to act anyway. This book offers groundbreaking insights about how we can all become more successful in championing our best ideas.

Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In is a massive cultural phenomenon and its title has become an instant catchphrase for empowering women. The book soared to the top of bestseller lists internationally, igniting global conversations about women and ambition. Sandberg packed theatres, dominated opinion pages, appeared on every major television show and on the cover of Time magazine, and sparked ferocious debate about women and leadership. Ask most women whether they have the right to equality at work and the answer will be a resounding yes, but ask the same women whether they'd feel confident asking for a raise, a promotion, or equal pay, and some reticence creeps in. The statistics, although an improvement on previous decades, are certainly not in women's favour - of 197 heads of state, only twenty-two are women. Women hold just 20 percent of seats in parliaments globally, and in the world of big business, a meagre eighteen of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg - Facebook COO and one of Fortune magazine's Most Powerful Women in Business - draws on her own experience of working in some of the world's most successful businesses and looks at what women can do to help themselves, and make the small changes in their life that can effect change on a more universal scale.

Už přes 30 let absolvuje americké vysoké školy více žen než mužů. Ve vedení veřejných i soukromých institucí jsou však ženy v naprosté menšině. V rozhodnutích, která se dotýkají nás všech, tak nejsou hlasy žen přiměřeně zastoupeny. Kniha Opřete se do toho zkoumá, proč se ženy navzdory svým akademickým úspěchům nedostávají do vedení klíčových institucí a nabízí přesvědčivá a rozumná řešení, jak mohou plně využít svůj potenciál. Sheryl Sandbergová je první ženou (COO, tedy provozní ředitelkou) mediálního gigantu Facebook a jednou ze stovky nejvlivnějších lidí na světě podle žebříčku časopisu Time. Tato kniha je vyústěním jejích snah upozornit na zažité genderové předsudky, které ovlivňují chování žen, a uzavírají tak bludný kruh jejich společenské pozice. Pomocí četných studií a humorných historek z vlastního života vykresluje problematiku žen na trhu práce a nabízí rady, jak z tohoto bludného kruhu vystoupit a vybudovat skutečnou rovnost mezi pohlavími. Opřete se do toho je působivým apelem na odbourání společenských předsudků, které ženám svazují ruce v dosahování vysněných cílů. Kniha vychází v úzké kooperaci se Sheryl Sandbergovou. Autorkou předmluvy českého vydání je ředitelka ING Pojišťovny pro Českou republiku a Slovensko Renata Mrázová.
