    • Ta praca nie ma sensu! to jedna z nielicznych książek, które mogą głęboko zmienić nasze życie zawodowe i osobiste. Współczesne wymagania przewyższają nasze możliwości, a etyka „więcej, szybciej” generuje niewidzialne koszty, które szkodzą naszej kreatywności i pasji. Aż 75% pracowników na świecie czuje się nie w pełni zaangażowanych w swoją pracę. Autor przedstawia nowatorskie podejście do regeneracji życia, które pozwala na większą satysfakcję i wydajność. Schwartz argumentuje, że ignorujemy cztery podstawowe potrzeby: równowagę fizyczną, bezpieczeństwo emocjonalne, samorealizację umysłową i znaczenie duchowe. Najlepsze wyniki osiągamy, gdy regularnie przechodzimy od intensywnego wysiłku do regeneracji energii związanej z tymi potrzebami. Organizacje często przeszkadzają w osiąganiu optymalnych wyników, zamiast zaspokajać te potrzeby. Schwartz, na podstawie współpracy z renomowanymi instytucjami, przedstawia nowe praktyki i kierunki działania. Wyjaśnia, jak tworzyć codzienne rytuały, które równoważą wysiłek z regeneracją, a także jak przekształcać krótkoterminowe zaangażowanie w długofalowe wartości. Książka oferuje praktyczne strategie dla liderów i osób indywidualnych, aby lepiej radzić sobie z rosnącymi wymaganiami w skomplikowanym świecie.

    • Through his years of intensive work consulting to companies including Procter & Gamble, Sony, Toyota, Microsoft, Ford and Ernst & Young, with his firm The Energy Project, Schwartz has developed a powerful program for changing the way we are working that greatly boosts our engagement and our satisfication with our work and increases our performance. In this book he marshalls a wide range of powerful evidence from business research and psychology that shows that the current model of work -- in which people are treated essentially as machines that should be able to perform at top speed for extraordinarily long hours, be able to multi-task, be always accessible and online, withstand often harsh and emotionally punishing treatment, and be primarily driven by the need to make profits -- is not only not optimal, it is specfically counter-productive because it saps us of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energy. In order for us to perform at our best, we must make a set of key changes in our work lives -- and in order to develop the full potential of their work force, our managers and companies must institute changes that will provide us with the regular physical renewal, emotional reward, mental focus and stimulation; and sense of purpose and significance that we need.

      #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • President Donald J. Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America’s foremost businessman. “Donald Trump is a deal maker. He is a deal maker the way lions are carnivores and water is wet.”—Chicago Tribune “I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: If you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”—Donald J. Trump Here is Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life—as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker’s art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur—the ultimate read for anyone interested in the man behind the spotlight.
