Everyone gets 168 hours a week, but it never feels like enough, does it? Work gobbles up the lion's share--many professionals are working as much as 70 hours a week--leaving less and less for rest, exercise, family, and friends. You know, all those things that make life great. Most people think productivity is about finding or saving time. But it's not. It's about making our time work for us. Just imagine having free time again. It's not a pipe dream. In Free to Focus, New York Times bestselling author Michael Hyatt reveals to readers nine proven ways to win at work so they are finally free to succeed at the rest of life--their health, relationships, hobbies, and more. He helps readers redefine their goals, evaluate what's working, cut out the nonessentials, focus on the most important tasks, manage their time and energy, and build momentum for a lifetime of success.
Arnold Bennet's classic book, How to Live on 24 Hours a Day, has been changing the way people use and consider their time since it was first published in 1910. In the intervening century surprisingly little has changed - we still struggle to make use of our time and are often plagued by the persistent worry that we are not making the most of our lives. Bennett encourages readers to stop merely following the rote patterns of their lives and leverage their free hours by viewing time as a commodity like money - each of us is allotted exactly 24 hours every day to spend as we see fit. What we make of our lives will ultimately be a result of what we make of that time. Bennet's prescription is simple, but revolutionary: consider the time outside your work day as an entirely separate day, sixteen hours (give or take) during which you are free to do anything you like to grow and improve yourself and your happiness. Building on that premise, he helps readers begin to take control of their time - starting with just 90 minutes three times a week - and use it to truly live. Bennet's writing is realistic and his advice transcends the years since it was first written. How to Live on 24 Hours a Day is an honest and refreshing perspective on how we can seize control of our time and spend it in the wisest way possible.

Der Autor untersucht die Auswirkungen der Wahlsiege der rechtspopulistischen Partei "Recht und Gerechtigkeit" in 2015. Sie gewann sowohl die Prasidentschafts- als auch die Parlamentswahlen in Polen und konnte als erste Partei nach 1989 ohne Koalitionspartner eine Regierung bilden. Mit geradezu revolutionarem Eifer ging sie daran, die bestehende Verfassungsordnung zu sturzen. Dieses Buch beschaftigt sich ausfuhrlich mit den Ursachen und gesellschaftlichen Hintergrunden fur diese Entwicklung und ihren Folgen fur Demokratie, Rechtsstaatlichkeit und innenpolitische Stabilitat in Polen. Es diskutiert die Konsequenzen fur die internationale Position Polens in der EU und der NATO. Der Autor halt fest, dass die Entwicklung nicht nur einen Bruch mit der Verfassungsordnung, sondern auch mit den Traditionen und politischen Werten der polnischen Rechten und der aussenpolitischen Grundlinie der Dritten Polnischen Republik darstellt.
