In this updated edition of the bestseller published ten years ago,
Oprah shares what she has come to know for sure in the last decade.
After film critic Gene Siskel asked her, "What do you know for sure?"
Oprah Winfrey began writing the "What I Know For Sure" column in O, The
Oprah Magazine. Saying that the question offered her a way to take
"stock of her life," Oprah has penned one column a month over the last
fourteen years, years in which she retired The Oprah Winfrey Show (the
highest-rated program of its kind in history), launched her own
television network, became America's only black billionaire, was
awarded an honorary degree from Harvard University and the Presidential
Medal of Freedom, watched friends and colleagues come and go, and
celebrated milestone birthdays. Throughout it all, she's continued to
offer her profound and inspiring words of wisdom in her "What I Know
For Sure" column in O, The Oprah Magazine.
Now, for the first time, these thoughtful gems have been revised,
updated, and collected in What I Know For Sure, a beautiful book packed
with insight and revelation from Oprah Winfrey. Organized by theme-joy,
resilience, connection, gratitude, possibility, awe, clarity, and
power-these essays offer a rare and powerful glimpse into the mind of
one of the world's most extraordinary women. Candid, moving,
exhilarating, uplifting, and dynamic, the words Oprah shares in What I
Know For Sure shimmer with the sort of wisdom and truth that readers
will turn to again and again.

'Everything he writes is an enlightening education in how to be
human.' - Elizabeth Day That Little Voice in Your Head is the
practical guide to retraining your brain for optimal joy by Mo
Gawdat, the internationally bestselling author of Solve for Happy.
Mo reveals how by beating negative self-talk, we can change our
thought processes, turning our greed into generosity, our apathy
into compassion and investing in our own happiness. To fix a
machine, first you need to find out what’s wrong with it. To fix
unhappiness, you need to find out what causes it. This book
provides readers with exercises to help reshape their mental
processes. Drawing on his expertise in programming and his
knowledge of neuroscience, Mo explains how – despite their
incredible complexity – our brains behave in ways that are
largely predictable. From these insights, he delivers this user
manual for happiness. Inspired by the life of his late son, Ali, Mo
Gawdat has set out to share a model for happiness based on
generosity and empathy towards ourselves and others. Using his
experience as a former Google engineer and Chief Business Officer,
Mo shares his 'code' for reprogramming our brain and moving away
from the misconceptions modern life gives us.

game of everyday life. Based on profound, timeless lessons, it is
abundantly illustrated with examples of the genius and folly of
everyone from Napoleon to Margaret Thatcher and Hannibal to Ulysses
S. Grant, as well as diplomats, captains of industry and Samurai
swordsmen.
'This is a life-changing book. Read it three times and then give a copy
to anyone you care about. It will make things better' – Seth Godin,
author of This is Marketing
'All you need is Buster Benson. His methods are instantly actionable,
[and] his writing is funny and relatable' – Adam Grant, author of
Originals
Why Are We Yelling is Buster Benson's essential guide to having more
honest and constructive arguments.
The way we argue is broken. Whether it’s about Brexit, the existence of
ghosts, the best burger in the city or who’s allowed to sit in your
favourite chair, we end up digging our heels in and yelling at one
another or choosing to avoid heated topics entirely. There has to be a
better way.
Buster Benson, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur with two decades of
experience facilitating hard conversations at some of the biggest tech
companies in the world, recommends eight things to try in order to make
disagreements more productive. By applying these eight new habits, we
can flip frustrating, unproductive disagreements into ones that bear
fruit and bring people closer together.
In this book you'll master practical skills to make your disagreements
more productive by:
- Understanding four ways of disagreeing that are more valuable than
simply ‘winning’ the argument
- Identifying the kind of argument you’re having so you know how best
to negotiate it
- Articulating the best possible version of your opponent’s argument
before attacking it
With this toolkit we can explore more possibilities and perspectives in
the world, simply because we’ll no longer be afraid to wade into scary
topics of conversation.
Dit is nie noodwendig maklik om bly te wees nie – maar Johannes de Villiers wys hoe dit ’n haalbare doel is vir enigiemand. Vind in hierdie boek ’n omvattende blik op lewensvreugde; alles van teorieë oor wat presies blydskap behels tot praktiese wenke om dit te bereik, met inligting van spiritueles sowel as sielkundiges. Ware verhale staaf sy voorstelle, soos dié van die man wie se pad na blydskap begin het toe Geheime Polisie hom skiet.
