Návod, ako docieliť pohodovú domácnosť Čo robia šťastné rodiny správne a ako sa my ostatní môžeme poučiť, aby boli aj naše rodiny šťastnejšie? Vytvorte si krajšie rána, prehodnoťte spoločnú večeru, hádajte sa múdrejšie, zahrajte sa. Toto je iba niekoľko z prospešných riešení v tejto odvážnej príručke pre súčasné rodiny. Autor Bruce Feiler sa kedysi sám ocitol medzi mlynskými kameňmi. Starostlivosť o starnúcich rodičov aj o malé dvojčatá mu dávali poriadne zabrať. Prečítal množstvo publikácií na túto tému. Žiadna však nebola šitá na potreby dnešnej hektickej doby. A tak sa pozrel na problém z celkom novej perspektívy a zostavil plán pre moderné rodiny, pričom sa inšpiroval metódami, aké využívajú vo svojej praxi odborníci z oblasti vedy, obchodu, športu či armády. Výsledkom je zábavná a podnetná príručka pre súčasné rodiny s viac ako 200 užitočnými postupmi, ako docieliť pohodovú domácnosť. Tajomstvá šťastných rodín sú doslova povinným čítaním pre všetkých rodičov a prinášajú odpovede na otázky, ktoré si dnes kladie množstvo z nich: Ako zvládať toľko povinnosti? Ako naučiť deti, aby si osvojili správne hodnoty? Ako docieliť, aby naša rodina bola šťastnejšia? Z anglického originálu The Secret of Happy Families (William Morrow. An Imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2013 USA) preložil Martin Štulrajter.

Cesta ke kořenům náboženství Úvahy o Bohu, víře a náboženství spojuje autor s popisem zážitků ze své cesty po kulturních památkách Středního východu. Archeologická, historická a kulturní zvědavost dohnala autora k často velice nebezpečné cestě napříč Středním východem. Americký rozhlasový komentátor a zpravodaj Bruce Feiler se rozhodl navštívit místa spjatá s biblickými příběhy, ale také s náboženskými a válečnými konflikty - Izrael, Irák a Írán. Při svém putování si všímal kulturních památek, kde se snoubí minulost s přítomností, vztahu lidí k náboženství a víře. Snažil se pochopit nejasnou roli Boha v životě, toho Boha, kvůli kterému se vedou války. Zážitky z cest se střídají s úvahami o Bohu, víře a náboženství. Autor cituje Bibli a zamýšlí se nad jednotlivými hrdiny a příběhy. Text je poznamenán atmosférou náboženských konfliktů počátku 21. století (situací po teroristickém útoku 11. září 2001, arabsko-židovským konfliktem, vojenským tažením proti Saddámu Husajnovi v Iráku, íránskou studenou válkou se Západem).

A pioneering and timely study of how to navigate life's biggest transitions with meaning, purpose, and skill. Bruce Feiler, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Secrets of Happy Families and Council of Dads, has long explored the stories that give our lives meaning. Galvanized by a personal crisis, he spent the last few years crisscrossing the country, collecting hundreds of life stories in all fifty states from Americans who'd been through major life changes-from losing jobs to losing loved ones; from changing careers to changing relationships; from getting sober to getting healthy to simply looking for a fresh start. He then spent a year coding these stories, identifying patterns and takeaways that can help all of us survive and thrive in times of change. What Feiler discovered was a world in which transitions are becoming more plentiful and mastering the skills to manage them is more urgent for all of us. The idea that we'll have one job, one relationship, one source of happiness is hopelessly outdated. We all feel unnerved by this upheaval. We're concerned that our lives are not what we expected, that we've veered off course, living life out of order. But we're not alone. Life Is in the Transitions introduces the fresh, illuminating vision of the nonlinear life, in which each of us faces dozens of disruptors. One in ten of those becomes what Feiler calls a lifequake, a massive change that leads to a life transition. The average length of these transitions is five years. The upshot- We all spend half our lives in this unsettled state. You or someone you know is going through one now. The most exciting thing Feiler identified is a powerful new tool kit for navigating these pivotal times. Drawing on his extraordinary trove of insights, he lays out specific strategies each of us can use to reimagine and rebuild our lives, often stronger than before. From a master storyteller with an essential message, Life Is in the Transitions can move readers of any age to think deeply about times of change and how to transform them into periods of creativity and growth
