Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in twenty-first-century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep.
In this book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert, Professor Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, Why We Sleep delves into everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime, transforming our appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence.

نبذة عن الكتاب:
كتاب القائد الذي ألهمني يشرح مفهوم القائد في القرن الواحد و العشرين و أهمية ممارسة القيادة على مختلف الأصعدة مهما كان المنصب الذي يشغله الفرد منا. و يحتوي على ١٠ فصول مختلفة و في كل فصل يتناول موضوعاً معيناً يستلهم القارئ منه فكرة جديدة و تدعم رغبته في القيادة على أي مستوى. نركز في هذا الكتاب على القيادة في مجال التربية مع محاولة تعميم الفكرة على كافة النطاقات الوظيفية و العملية و التطوعية من خلال الأمثلة المطروحة و الأفكار الإيجابية التي من شأنها أن تعزز دور الفرد في المجتمع.
في الفصل الأول ، تطرح الكاتبة فكرتها الشخصية حول القيادة و أهمية الإلهام الذي يلعب دوراً رئيسيا في التعامل مع الأشخاص من حولنا. و تنتقل في الفصول التي تليها عن نمط معين من أنماط القيادة مع ذكر مثال عن شخصية معينة موضحة كيفية تطبيقه لهذا النمط. و تختم في الفصول الاخيرة الكتاب بالحديث عن أهمية التحفيز و العمل الجماعي.
من خاتمة الكتاب:
ابحث عن القائد الذي تستطيع تمثيله من مكان عملك و لا تنتظر أن تصبح في وظيفة معينة حتى تمارس هذا الدور ، لأنك ستتأخر كثيراً و سيسبقك الركب و لن ينتظرك أحد في زمن المتغيرات ، و اصنع الفارق الذي ترغب في إحداثه لأنك تستطيع بكل بساطة مادمت ترى في نفسك قائداً.
و عندما تسعى لتحقيق الأفضل للآخرين فهذا يعني أنك تحقق ذاتك و عندما تسعى لتحقيق ذاتك مهتماً بتحقيق نرجسيتك فهذا يعني تهميش الآخرين و هذا أكثر ما يسيء للقائد.
إن القيادة تعني أن أماً أو أباً يقودان الأسرة إلى بر الامان و أهم مخرجات تلك القيادة أبناء ذو خلق و تميز و صلاح ، و القيادة تعني أن معلماً يبحث عن أفضل ما يمكن تقديمه لطلابه و أهم مخرجاته طلاب ذو مستوى عال و سلوك متميز ، و القيادة تعني أن مسؤولأً يبحث عن توظيف قدرات موظفيه لتحقيق الأفضل لهم و للعمل.
و في السطر الأخير.. كن قائداً ملهماً للآخرين و كفى!
Grammy Award–nominated, platinum-selling musician Halsey is heralded as one of the most compelling voices of her generation. In I Would Leave Me If I Could, she reveals never-before-seen poetry of longing, love, and the nuances of bipolar disorder.
In this debut collection, Halsey bares her soul. Bringing the same artistry found in her lyrics, Halsey’s poems delve into the highs and lows of doomed relationships, family ties, sexuality, and mental illness. More hand grenades than confessions, these autobiographical poems explore and dismantle conventional notions of what it means to be a feminist in search of power.
Masterful as it is raw, passionate, and profound, I Would Leave Me If I Could signals the arrival of an essential voice.

Stop having hard conversations with people who dont want to change. Stop showing up for people who are indifferent about your presence. Stop prioritizing people who make you an option. Stop loving people who arent ready to love you. The reality is that you exist in so many different forms and images and beliefs and storiesand yet, the only one that is ever really going to matter is the one you tell yourself. Healing is not a one-time event. It can begin with a one-time event typically some form of sudden loss that disrupts our projection of what the future might be. However, the true work of healing is allowing that disruption to wake us from a deep state of unconsciousness, to release the personas we adapted into, and begin consciously piecing together the full truth of who we were meant to be. In her follow-up collection to the international bestseller 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think, Brianna Wiest shares 45+ new pieces that will help you find your inner sanctum and embark on the path of true transformation. Wiests words are a balm for any soul on the journey of their own becoming.

How I Elevated my Consciousness: First of all, naming my book came easily to me. The first title that came to my mind was “Intellectual Development Using Technical Terminology,” but shortly before publishing the book I changed the title to one that is closer to my heart. I also did that because the purpose behind the book is to introduce the concept of self-improvement in a simplified way, using the working mechanism of technical terminology. You now might be wondering what self-improvement has to do with technical terminology? Thanks to the guidance of God Almighty, I succeeded at writing this book where I discuss the secrets of the mind and its working mechanism according to scientific research by experts in this field. I also explain some of the concepts related to self-improvement while linking them to simple technical terminology to allow the reader to elevate their level of awareness and perception yet giving them the free will to choose an individual approach that best suits them. My target audience is those who find it difficult to reach the maximum level of awareness when it comes to self-improvement. There is no shame in that, for I myself only came to understand that world a short while ago, after my mind connected those mechanisms and inspired me to start writing once again to finally present you with my findings on this subject matter. My findings are backed by scientific research conducted by experts in the field of human psychology and my vast experience in the science of information technology. Hence, I resorted to writing this topic to simplify the related concepts and clarify how to connect the mechanism of the mind with technical terminology. Although the terminology found in the science of information technology field is wide, for the purpose of this book, I have chosen a small number of terms to make it easier for the reader to understand their meaning and allow them to swiftly connect them with the logic behind self-improvement.
David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book. If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny--it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future. This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet--and it just might be his very best.
