    • Britský vědec, spisovatel a popularizátor vědy Richard Wiseman představuje novou vědu o spánku: přehledně uspořádaný soubor nejnovějších vědeckých poznatků o spánku, jeho důležitosti a nebezpečích spojených s jeho nedostatkem. Upozorňuje na to, že špatný spánek negativně ovlivňuje mezilidské vztahy, snižuje produktivitu práce, výrazně zvyšuje riziko vzniku vysokého krevního tlaku, rakoviny, cukrovky a obezity. Především však čtenářům nabízí řadu ověřených metod umožňujících každému dobře a dostatečně se vyspat a v nejlepším případě se stát skutečným „superspáčem“ – přeborníkem ve spaní, který se každou noc dobře vyspí, je schopen usnout, kdy se mu zachce, probouzí se svěží a má spoustu sladkých snů. Tato pozoruhodná schopnost vytěžit z noci maximum činí ze „superspáčů“ skutečně šťastné, úspěšné a zdravé lidi.

Fortunately, psychologist Richard Wiseman is on hand to provide fast-acting, myth-busting scientific answers to a huge range of everyday problems. From job-hunting to relationships, and from parenting to self-esteem, personal and professional success may be less than a minute away . . .

      'The legacy of Apollo is that you can do anything you set your mind to' Christopher C Kraft Jr, Director of Flight Operations, Apollo.

      Shoot for the Moon
    • You are remarkable: You experience a vast range of thoughts and emotions, including falling in love, remembering last Tuesday, contemplating the meaning of life, and calculating complex equations. And you can carry out an almost infinite range of behaviours, such as sauntering down the street, juggling tennis balls, singing in falsetto or riding a unicycle. Psychology is the study of these things: of how we think, feel and behave, of what makes us special as individuals, and of what we have in common with our fellow human beings. Psychologist, bestselling author and YouTube star Richard Wiseman argues that psychology matters in five key ways: it boosts critical thinking, reveals the hidden workings of the mind, debunks popular and harmful myths about human behaviour, provides vital material to inform debates in politics, education, medicine and other fields, and can be used to improve ourselves and our societies. If you’ve ever wondered why we often fail to see what’s right before our eyes, how to spot a liar, about the secret to happiness, or how to create a more altruistic society, then this book is for you.
