»Ich habe aufgehört, mich anzustrengen, und es fühlt sich so gut an.«Keine Lust mehr auf Stress, Selbstoptimierung und Druck von allen Seiten? Dann nimm dir ein Beispiel an Faultieren. Ihr Mantra ist Entschleunigung. Sie schlafen viel, bewegen sich langsam, essen genüsslich, hängen dauernd rum und sind gerne für sich - dies alles jedoch mit nachhaltigem Erfolg: Faultiere gibt es seit 30 Millionen Jahren. Es ist Zeit, die Faulheit auch für uns zu entdecken und von den besten Entspannungsexperten dieser Welt zu lernen. Denn nur denen, die auch mal nichts tun, geht es dauerhaft gut. Willkommen bei den Faultieren und ihrer Lebensphilosophie! Hier ein paar Weisheiten:Schlaf aus - das ist erholsamer für Geist und Körper als um 6 Uhr früh joggen zu gehen. Faultiere schlafen zwischen 10 und 18 Stunden täglich.Iss langsam - Faultiere gehören zur Slow-Food-Bewegung der ersten Stunde. Sie verzehren hauptsächlich frische Blätter, Zweige und Früchte - und kauen stundenlang drauf rum. Plus: Sie essen im Freien, weit weg von ihren Computern.Halt still - Faultiere sind Meister der Reglosigkeit. Sie entkommen Raubtieren, indem sie ganz stillhalten. In unserem aufgescheuchten Medienzeitalter müssen wir dauernd auf irgendwas reagieren. Dies einfach mal nicht zu tun - was für eine Erholung. Sei dir selbst genug: Faultiere sind von Natur aus ungesellig und verbringen den Großteil ihrer Zeit allein. Wir glauben, uns dauernd verabreden zu müssen - und dass Alleinsein etwas Schlimmes ist. Doch das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Endlich mal wieder Zeit für sich zu haben, kann magisch sein.»Ihre Anleitung zu mehr Gelassenheit in einer tierisch hektischen Welt bietet eine humorvolle Lektüre die zum Nachdenken anregt [...].« Mannheimer Morgen »Das Buch ist eine schnelle und leichte Lektüre, trotzdem hat es mein Leben verändert.« GlamourDE

"This book highlights the foibles and failures of fictional and historical dads. Written in verse with humorous illustrations throughout"--

A novel for your cat, written in its native language. The word "meow" repeated over 80,000 times, to rapturous effect. Publisher's description: "Meow meow meow meow meow, meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow? Meow." So begins Sam Austen's searing debut novel: an expansive, stream-of-consciousness fusillade decipherable only by cats, which may very well be a raucous, cogent satire laying waste to the literary establishment and the concept of language itself. Or it may not. Here, the experts weigh in: "Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow, meow. Meow meow." - Professor Beans, Unaltered Domestic Shorthair "Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow." - Constable Stubbs, Breed Indeterminate "Meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow, meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow."-Cuddle Princess, Devon Rex (very affectionate!) "Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow." - Fyodor Dostoevsky

'There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.' Hannah Gadsby, NanetteHannah Gadsby's unique stand-up special Nanette was a viral success that left audiences captivated by her blistering honesty and her ability to create both tension and laughter in a single moment. But while her worldwide fame might have looked like an overnight sensation, her path from open mic to the global stage was hard-fought and anything but linear. Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby's growth as a queer person from Tasmania - where homosexuality was illegal until 1997 - to her ever-evolving relationship with comedy, to her struggle with late-in-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD, and finally to the backbone of Nanette - the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny and the moral significance of truth-telling. Equal parts harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette continues Gadsby's tradition of confounding expectations and norms, properly introducing us to one of the most explosive, formative voices of our time.
