The Time-Block Planner will help you push aside distractions and focus on the work that will make the difference to you.

Hvornår har du sidst lyttet til en anden person? Virkelig lyttet og ikke bare ventet på, at du selv kunne tage ordet igen, været distraheret af din telefon, eller blot ventet på chancen for at komme med din mening. Og hvornår har nogen sidst lyttet til dig? I en verden hvor der er så meget fokus på at lytte til sig selv, mærke efter og følge sig hjerte, er kunsten at lytte til et andet menneske lige så stille gledet i baggrunden. Og det gør os ensomme, mere isolerede og mindre tolerante end før. Den amerikanske journalist og forfatter Kate Murphy tager den manglende evne til at lytte under kærlig behandling i bogen, hvor hun på humoristisk vis dykker dybt ned i, hvorfor vi ikke lytter, hvad det gør ved os og hvordan denne tendens kan ændres. Med tråde til psykologien, neurovidenskaben og sociologiske undersøgelser ser Murphy nærmere på nogle, der faktisk er virkelig gode til at lytte: bl.a. CIA-agenten, bartenderen, radioproducenten, den dygtige sælger og fokusgruppe-moderatoren. Hvad kan vi lære af dem, så vi kan blive bedre til at lytte til folk? LYT viser, at det at lytte faktisk er den mest magtfulde position i kommunikationen. Vi lærer, når vi lytter. Vi skaber forbindelser til andre mennesker, vi samarbejder, vi skaber empati og vi bliver forelskede.

Den digitale revolution har været båret af løfter om demokratisering og frigørelse. Men virkeligheden er blevet en anden. Det sociale kreditsystem, som er under udvikling i Kina, står som skræmmeeksempel på en statsmagt, der anvender de nyeste teknologier til at virkeliggøre en social kontrol af borgerne uden fortilfælde. Men Kina er ikke alene. I USA er der åbnet nye markeder for digital overvågning, adfærdspåvirkning og datahandel, som truer friheden, hvis ikke de kommercielle teknologigiganter møder modstand fra befolkning og politikere. Og i Danmark har vi så travlt med at vinde digitaliseringskapløbet, at borgernes retsstilling, tillid og demokrati er under pres. I Digital totalitarisme stiller filosof Mads Vestergaard skarpt på den mørke side af den digitale revolution. Kun hvis vi kender truslerne mod det frie og demokratiske samfund, kan vi bekæmpe dem. Anmeldelser: "Det er på tide, vi opgraderer den generelle forståelse af de enorme udfordringer, den digitale udvikling giver vores samfund. Digital Totalitarisme er et rigtig godt sted at starte." - Journalisten Mads Vestergaard (f. 1979) er uddannet filosof og ph.d.-studerende ved Center for Information og Boblestudier (CIBS), Københavns Universitet.

** THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER **'A book for anyone who finds it difficult to believe in a better future' THE TIMESFeeling anxious, powerless, or confused about the future of our planet? This book will transform how you see our biggest environmental problems -- and how we can solve them.A STYLIST BEST NON-FICTION 2024 * A GUARDIAN BIGGEST FICTION AND NON-FICTION FOR 2024 * A WATERSTONES 'BOOK YOU NEED TO READ IN 2024' * A GUARDIAN 'FIVE GREAT READS' We are bombarded by doomsday headlines that tell us the soil won't be able to support crops, fish will vanish from our oceans, that we should reconsider having children.But in this bold, radically hopeful book, data scientist Hannah Ritchie argues that if we zoom out, a very different picture emerges. The data shows we've made so much progress on these problems, and so fast, that we could be on track to achieve true sustainability for the first time in history.Packed with the latest research, practical guidance and enlightening graphics, this book will make you rethink almost everything you've been told about the environment, from the virtues of eating locally and living in the countryside, to the evils of overpopulation, plastic straws and palm oil. It will give you the tools to understand what works, what doesn't and what we urgently need to focus on so we can leave a sustainable planet for future generations.These problems are big. But they are solvable. We are not doomed. We can build a better future for everyone. Let's turn that opportunity into reality.'Practical and truly essential' MARGARET ATWOOD * 'Does for the environment what Hans Rosling did for health' BILL GATES * 'Invigorating, inspiring, often surprising' DAVID WALLACE-WELLS * 'I find it hard to express how much I love this book' RUTGER BREGMAN * 'An unmissable myth-busting book to save our planet - read it' TIM SPECTOR

What does it mean to be intelligent? Is it something unique to humans - or do we share it with other beings? Recent years have seen rapid advances in 'artificial' intelligence, which increasingly appears to be something stranger than we ever imagined. At the same time, we are becoming more aware of the other intelligences which have been with us all along, unrecognized. These other beings are the animals, plants, and natural systems that surround us, and are slowly revealing their complexity and knowledge - just as the new technologies we've built are threatening to cause their extinction, and ours. In Ways of Being, writer and artist James Bridle considers the fascinating, uncanny and multiple ways of existing on earth. What can we learn from these other forms of intelligence and personhood, and how can we change our societies to live more equitably with one another and the non-human world? From Greek oracles to octopuses, forests to satellites, Bridle tells a radical new story about ecology, technology and intelligence. We must, they argue, expand our definition of these terms to build a meaningful and free relationship with the non-human, one based on solidarity and cognitive diversity. We have so much to learn, and many worlds to gain.
