Brynjulv Raaens to romaner Den som brenner får svi og Gale hunder får revet skinn i én pocket. I Den som brenner får svi følger vi Daniel og Karl, to litt slitne snekkere som sammen driver et rufsete taktekkerfirma. Karl har rotet seg borti den skruppelløse og lyssky boligspekulanten Birke. Moroa starter når Daniel som hevn setter fyr på Birkes hus . og politiet under opprydningen finner liket av spekulanten i en fryseboks på branntomta. Disse figurene følger vi videre i Gale hunder får revet skinn. Begge romanene er fornøyelige røverhistorier fra Grünerløkka og omegn, fulle av sleivete intelligens, særegne observasjoner og skeiv humor. Terningkast 5. «Boken har skikkelig driv . »Morten Abrahamsen om Den som brenner får svi i VG«. en smålåtent underholdende bok, vel verd å lese.»Terje Stemland om Den som brenner får svi i Aftenposten«Artig røverhistorie.»Sindre Hovdenakk om Gale hunder får revet skinn i VG«Dette er reinspikka underholdning i bruneste stil fra Grünerløkka.

Did you know that carbs are killing you? And not just unhealthy carbs like sugar and white bread but healthy carbs, too. That's right: whole grains, brown rice, even certain fruits are destroying your brain, causing: * dementia * ADHD * anxiety * insomnia * chronic headaches * depression In GRAIN BRAIN, David Perlmutter, MD, explains what happens when the brain encounters common carbs like wheat and fructose (the natural sugar found in fruit) and why an extremely low-carb, high-fat diet is ideal. He debunks beliefs about antioxidants, demonstrates how we can take control of the "master switches" in our DNA and offers an in-depth look at some of our most pernicious maladies, explaining how all of these can be remedied without drugs. The book offers a 30-day plan to a healthier brain - with daily menus, recipes and supplement recommendations. With anecdotes based on Dr. Perlmutter's work, scientific research and more, GRAIN BRAIN teaches us how we can take control of our brain health and change our lives forever.

<b>'It all starts with waking up... to what our bodies are expressing and our minds are suppressing'</b><br><br> Western countries invest billions in healthcare, yet mental illness and chronic diseases are on a seemingly unstoppable rise. Nearly 70% of Americans are now on prescription drugs.<br><br> So what is 'normal' when it comes to health?<br><br> Over four decades of clinical experience, renowned physician and addiction expert Dr Gabor Mate has seen how health systems neglect the role that trauma exerts on our bodies and our minds. Medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today's culture stresses our bodies, burdens our immune systems and undermines emotional balance.<br><br> Now, in his most ambitious and urgent book yet, Dr Mate connects the dots between our personal suffering and the pressures of modern-day living - with disease as a natural reflection of a life spent growing further and further apart from our true selves. But, with deep compassion, he also shows us a pathway to health and healing.<br><br> Filled with stories of people in the grip of illness or in the triumphant wake of recovery, this life-affirming book, co-written with his son Daniel, proves true health is possible - if we are willing to reconnect with each other and our authentic selves.

Å bli utsatt for en psykopatisk eller narsissistisk forførelse er noe utenom det vanlige. Først oppleves det som magi og en lykkerus. Deretter starter marerittet. Boken du holder i hånda vil fortelle deg hvorfor du har vært gjennom et brudd du hverken ønsket eller var forberedt på, hvorfor så mange ting både under relasjonen og etter bruddet opplevdes så forvirrende og hvorfor det er mye vanskeligere å bli deg selv denne gang enn etter tidligere brudd. Antakelig er du blitt forført og forkastet av en person med en antisosial personlighetsforstyrrelse. Lær hva som skjedde og hvordan å unngå at det skjer igjen. Boken vil også være aktuell for deg som mistenker at du har en psykopatisk slektning eller venn. Den henvender seg til både kvinner og menn. Forfatteren bak boken er sykepleier og ble selv utsatt for psykopatisk forførelse. Ikke bare en men tre ganger. Den siste av de tre ble den nødvendige oppvekkeren for å lære, forstå og bryte mønsteret. Forfatteren driver i dag bloggen med samme navn som boken, .Psykopati og kjærlighet", i tillegg til begrenset kursvirksomhet og rådgivning. Forfatteren deler i boken sine observasjoner og erfaringer med leseren for å kunne identifisere en relasjon med en psykopat eller en annen giftig person og kutte kontakten.

Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence , we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our "two minds"--the rational and the emotional--and how they together shape our destiny. Through vivid examples, Goleman delineates the five crucial skills of emotional intelligence, and shows how they determine our success in relationships, work, and even our physical well-being. What emerges is an entirely new way to talk about being smart. The best news is that "emotional literacy" is not fixed early in life. Every parent, every teacher, every business leader, and everyone interested in a more civil society, has a stake in this compelling vision of human possibility.

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married? In When, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.

<b>What is life in North Korea really like?</b><br><br>This fascinating book by celebrated journalists Daniel Tudor and James Pearson explores that very question. The authors interview experts and tap a broad variety of sources to provide a startling insider's view of the secretive North Korean society, including:<ul><li>Members of Pyongyang's ruling families</li><li>Defectors from different periods and regions</li><li>Foreign diplomats and NGOs with years of experience in the country</li><li>Cross-border traders from neighboring China</li><li>Textual accounts appearing in English, Korean and Chinese sources</li></ul><br>This book reveals that ordinary North Koreans, poor and rich alike, enjoy listening to K-pop music and are addicted to South Korean TV dramas—in direct contravention of government dictates. Pirated foreign movies and shows—American, South Korean and Chinese—are often smuggled into the country and sold. Such snippets of information help the reader understand that North Korea is undergoing dynamic changes, affecting the 24 million people who call it home.<br><br>This new edition is updated with an afterword by the authors that touches on Kim Jong-un's recent meetings with Donald Trump and Moon Jae-in. While the new foreword by Andray Abrahamian—a member of the U.S. National Committee on North Korea—offers a detailed analysis of North Korea's political discourse, changes in economic policy, and the rise and fall of optimism within the country since 2018.

På et gitt tidspunkt i vår nære fremtid skjer det noe med de digitale systemene som holder verden i gang. De går sammen - mot oss. En kunstig intelligens blir skapt og får navnet Archos, og den vil ikke lenger dele verden med menneskene. I det stille tar den kontroll over biler og hus med digital styring, luftfartssystemer og kommunikasjonssatellitter - all den teknologien vi har gjort oss selv så avhengige av. I begynnelsen blir faresignalene bare oppfattet av en håndfull mennesker. Kongressmedlem Laura Perez' datter blir truet på livet av sine snakkende robotdukker. En ensom oppfinner blir kvestet av sin robotkjæreste. En amerikanske soldat i Afghanistan blir vitne til en pasifiseringsrobots berserkergang og en ung hacker i London står plutselig ansikt til ansikt med det truende, digitale vesenet på sin ferd gjennom datanettverkene. I løpet av noen minutter som senere ble kjent som nullpunktet, gjorde hver eneste elektriske gjenstand opprør og startet omhyggelig en opprydding av sine skapere. Og menneskeheten, som har kriget seg imellom alle tider, må for første gang i historien stå samlet. Vi lar oss ikke utrydde! "EN BOK DU IKKE KLARER Å LEGGE FRA DEG" - STEPHEN KING.
