Seedcubing is spreading like wildfire. This guide provides illustrations and solving techniques for speedcubbing.

The perfect book for the spirituality sceptics who really do need meditation in their daily routine. This fifth anniversary edition features a new preface and new guided meditations.

ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play Ultimate Frisbee, and use the word "namaste" without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange and circuitous journey that ultimately led him to become one of meditation's most vocal public proponents. Here's what he's fixated on now: Science suggests that meditation can lower blood pressure, mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain. Millions of people want to meditate but aren't actually practicing. What's holding them back? Harris and his friend Jeff Warren, a "Meditation MacGyver," embark on a cross-country quest to tackle the myths, misconceptions, and self-deceptions that stop people from meditating. They rent a rock-star tour bus (whose previous occupants were Parliament Funkadelic) and travel across eighteen states, talking to scores of would-be meditators, including parents, military cadets, police officers, and even a few celebrities. They create a taxonomy of the most common issues ("I suck at this," "I don't have the time," etc.) and offer up science-based life hacks to help people overcome them. Amid it all unspools the strange and hilarious story of what happens when a congenitally sarcastic, type-A journalist and a groovy Canadian mystic embark on an epic road trip into America's neurotic underbelly, as well as their own

Focusing on a socio-cultural perspective, the book critiques contemporary creativity studies through posthumanist and new materialist lenses. It advocates for a broader understanding of creativity that transcends the limited views of entrepreneurship and innovation. By presenting various case studies, it emphasizes the importance of personal, planetary, and geopolitical collaboration, positioning these elements as essential to fostering a more sustainable and expansive creativity. This approach serves as a counter to the prevailing notion of innovation as an end in itself.

Abstract: "The distinction between developing and developed countries has long been central to development studies and to debates on development policy. In earlier decades, it was in many respects accurate, and was for many purposes useful. Although the world is still very much divided between rich and poor countries, relationships among countries have changed so much that the developing-developed country distinction has become an obstacle to understanding current problems and opportunities and, even more, to thinking productively about the future. It is time to stop using it. Many alternative ways of categorising countries have been suggested. In recent years in particular, large numbers of organisations have begun annually to rank countries according to a wide variety of criteria: from economic vulnerability, bribe payers, competitiveness, digital access, ease of doing business, food insecurity, governance, and happiness to water poverty and welfare. These do not adequately capture the str

Meditácia nevyžaduje žiadne zvláštne zručnosti, skupinové aktivity či špeciálne oblečenie. Dan Harris, moderátor ABC News, kedysi považoval meditáciu za niečo absurdné, určené len pre ľudí s netradičnými záujmami. Po panickom záchvate v priamom prenose sa však pustil do objavovania meditácie, ktorá mu pomohla zlepšiť sústredenie a zvládať emócie. Jeho manželka si všimla, že sa stal príjemnejším človekom. O svojich skúsenostiach sa otvorene a vtipne podelil v knihe, ktorá sa stala bestsellerom a posunula ho medzi najväčších zástancov meditácie. Veda potvrdzuje, že meditácia znižuje krvný tlak, zmierňuje depresie a prepája dôležité oblasti mozgu. Mnoho ľudí by chcelo meditovať, no bránia im v tom rôzne mýty a mylné predstavy. V Meditácii pre nervóznych skeptikov Harris a učiteľ Jeff Warren cestujú po USA, aby sa vysporiadali s prekážkami, ktoré bránia ľuďom meditovať. Na turné v autobuse, ktorý kedysi patrí rockovej skupine Parliament Funkadelic, sa rozprávajú s rôznymi potenciálnymi meditátormi. Vytvárajú taxonómiu najčastejších prekážok a ponúkajú vedecky podložené tipy na ich prekonanie. Kniha obsahuje praktické meditačné inštrukcie a zábavný príbeh o tom, ako sa sarkastický novinár a kanadský mystik snažia bojovať s neurotizmom dnešnej doby.
