Sent to the most violent battlefield in Iraq, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin’s SEAL task unit faced a seemingly impossible mission: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping first-hand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories in SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, they learned that leadership—at every level—is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails.

Now, detailing the mind-set and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat, Extreme Ownership shows how to apply them to any team, family or organization. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic such as Cover and Move, Decentralized Command, and Leading Up the Chain, explaining what they are, why they are important, and how to implement them in any leadership environment.
A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership revolutionizes business management and challenges leaders everywhere to fulfil their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

Clear, James – Atomic Habits. An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones –
Language: English, Self-Help – Format: ePub

Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now.
People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that (More) real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call.
He calls them atomic habits.
In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.
These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.

Clear, James – Piccole abitudini per grandi cambiamenti –
Language: Italian, Self-Help – Format: ePub

Mental coach, formatori, guru motivazionali: tanti dicono che nella vita è fondamentale porsi obiettivi ambiziosi, decidere dove si vuole arrivare e fare di tutto per arrivarci. Ma è davvero questa la chiave del successo? Perché (More) allora è così difficile fare quello che continuamente diciamo di voler fare? Per quale motivo non riusciamo a dimagrire, ricominciamo a fumare, perdiamo ore incollati a uno smartphone? Perché non costruiamo davvero relazioni più salutari, carriere più soddisfacenti? James Clear, uno degli esperti di crescita personale più innovativi e seguiti in America, non ha dubbi: stiamo semplicemente sbagliando bersaglio. L’ossessione per gli obiettivi, invece di aiutarci a migliorare, rischia di diventare un’ulteriore fonte di stress, e perfino di farci fallire. Noi non siamo i nostri obiettivi: siamo la somma delle nostre abitudini. Per questo, secondo Clear, è proprio dalle piccole abitudini di ogni giorno che dobbiamo partire per dare alla nostra vita una nuova direzione. Il vero cambiamento non nasce da una singola grande svolta, ma dalla combinazione di tanti miglioramenti quasi impercettibili: un piccolo passo alla volta, un progresso quotidiano dell’uno per cento. Questo manuale brillante e dettagliato ci accompagna, passo dopo passo, sulla strada del cambiamento sostenibile, attraverso un metodo chiaro e facile da mettere in pratica per creare buone abitudini, per liberarci da quelle cattive, e per rimanere felicemente fedeli alle nostre scelte. Perché soltanto concentrandoci su ciò che abbiamo il potere di cambiare – ciò che ogni giorno decidiamo di fare o non fare – potremo ottenere una trasformazione profonda e duratura.

Chicot, Marcos – El asesinato de Platón –
Language: Spanish, Novel – Format: ePub

Tras el éxito de El asesinato de Sócrates (Finalista Premio Planeta 2016), Marcos Chicot regresa con su novela más ambiciosa, una obra extraordinaria y conmovedora que nos traslada a los años más apasionantes de la Grecia (More) Clásica.
La ateniense Altea, una de las más brillantes discípulas de Platón, no sabe que tiene a su peor enemigo en su propia casa, y que tanto ella como el bebé que espera se encuentran en peligro. Por su parte, su amigo y maestro Platón arriesga la vida para intentar hacer realidad su gran proyecto: un gobierno en el que impere la justicia en lugar de la corrupción, y donde la razón se imponga a la retórica vacía de los demagogos. Un gobierno ideal que traería la paz a los pueblos y en el que las mujeres podrían llegar a gobernar.
Como telón de fondo, el surgimiento de una nueva potencia liderada por el invencible general Epaminondas, uno de los mayores genios militares de todos los tiempos, pone en juego la supervivencia tanto de Esparta como de la propia Atenas.
Tensión, intriga, traiciones y un amor que desafía a su época confluyen en una novela que recrea de modo impecable el tapiz de la Grecia Clásica y las ideas revolucionarias de Platón, el filósofo más influyente en la historia de la humanidad.
