ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 'BEST BOOKS TO DIP INTO THIS SUMMER' 'The Bowie you thought you knew is recast completely' The Spectator 'A transfixing look at David Bowie's life through a spiritual lens... fresh and revealing' Publishers Weekly How David Bowie's search for meaning inspired him to write the music that defined a generation. In this wide-ranging biography, Peter Ormerod explores the quest for spirituality that powered David Bowie's creativity from his earliest recordings to his death-defying final album. Bowie's genre-expanding, era-crossing genius had an extraordinary impact on popular culture but his life-long search for spiritual truth and enlightenment has been overlooked. From Bowie's first musical encounters as a choirboy, this book traces his spiritual obsessions over the years. As a young musician at the start of his career, he was enraptured by Tibetan Buddhism. It was the first step in a spiritual journey that would generate his most profound lyrics and music. From the Kabbalah-influenced tracks of Station to Station to Ziggy Stardust's messiah complex and the profound affinity between Heroes and Christian thought, Ormerod sheds new light on the spiritual traditions behind Bowie's genius. Taking Bowie's spiritual explorations and faith seriously, Ormerod shows us how this quest for meaning propelled him through his darkest moments and biggest successes, lending his music a timelessness and depth that has spoken to so many people across the world. Whether experiencing a dark night of the soul in LA during his occult phase or reciting the Lord's prayer in front of thousands of concertgoers, Bowie was always searching for that universal truth that lies beyond everyday reality.

A spiritual meditation on his music and creativity

David Bowie and the Search for Life, Death and God

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award How 1,000 years of global history show why technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation and even collapse In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies--the United States and China--have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change. By examining key historical moments--from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI--Frey shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading technological powers of the past--such as Song China, the Dutch Republic, and Victorian Britain--ultimately lost their innovative edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial for scaling them. When institutions fail to adapt to technological change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over the long term--findings that have worrying implications for the United States, Europe, China, and other economies today. Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.

How Progress Ends

Sleep isn't passive rest, but a critical driver of performance.In high-pressure environments, sleep is often the first thing to go. Long hours are treated as commitment. Pushing through is expected. But the cost builds, often in ways we don't immediately see, leading to distraction, poor decisions, emotional reactivity and missed signals.In this groundbreaking guide, sleep neuroscientist and executive advisor Els van der Helm, PhD, shows that sleep is not just a habit to optimise. It's a system to understand.Blending cutting-edge research with real-world stories and interviews - from global executives to frontline professionals - Dr van der Helm reframes sleep as a hidden driver of performance, resilience and leadership. Her practical, science-backed six-principle framework reveals how we can: <ul><li>Identify our chronotype and align our schedule with peak performance windows</li><li>Use chronotherapy to align work, energy, and recovery across the day</li><li>Understand how REM sleep supports emotional control, creativity, and decision-making - and how to protect it</li><li>Use strategic napping to recover faster and sustain high performance</li><li>Navigate periods of poor sleep, reducing the impact of bad nights and building long-term resilience</li><li>Become a 'sleep leader,' rethinking how work and life are structured to make sustained performance possible, at work and at home</li></ul> Perfect for leaders, ambitious professionals and anyone operating in high-demand environments, Sleep Intelligence offers a new way of thinking about sleep - and how we work, recover and live as a result.

Schrumpfende Gemeinden, Spaltungen und Stillstand lassen viele fragen, ob die Kirche überhaupt noch eine Zukunft hat. Ulrich Parzany antwortet entschieden: Ja - denn Jesus selbst baut seine Kirche. Und das tut er nicht erst seit gestern, sondern seit Beginn der Welt, über seinen Ruf an Abraham bis zur vollendeten Gemeinde vor seinem Thron. Die Kirche ist Teil von Gottes ewigem Plan - gegründet auf Jesus Christus, den Eckstein und das Fundament. Sie ist nicht an Organisationsformen oder menschliche Strukturen gebunden und bleibt deshalb auch unter Widerstand und Verfolgung bestehen.
 

 Die Gemeinschaft der Nachfolger Jesu ist kein Selbstzweck. Sie ist Gottes Werkzeug, durch das er in dieser Welt handelt. Darum ruft Parzany Christen dazu auf, ihren Auftrag treu zu leben: an der Mission als Kernaufgabe festzuhalten und durch gelebte Gemeinschaft einen Gegenpol zur Vereinsamung unserer Zeit zu bilden. Gemeinden, die auf Christus gegründet sind, wird er selbst zum Ziel führen - und sie werden mit Freude in das ewige Lob Gottes einstimmen.

Too young to retire, too vital to stand still, too experienced to start from scratch? Welcome to your Bonus Years. Increased longevity has gifted us fifteen-to-twenty extra active, healthy working years, shattering the traditional linear career script of learning, working, and retiring. In The Bonus Years, the world's leading expert on career transition, and London Business School Professor Herminia Ibarra, delivers the definitive, social-science-backed resource for navigating later-career transformation. Ibarra reveals that thriving in an extended work life requires abandoning the old linear, plan-and-implement strategies. Instead, successful reinvention comes through 'resourceful discovery' - a disciplined process of active experimentation, trying on new futures, and knowing when to adjust your course. Whether change has arrived uninvited through an industry shock, or a quiet internal restlessness is telling you it's time to let go, this book provides the actionable tools to build transition mastery and successfully map your path forward. Filled with rich and varied case studies of professionals who reinvented themselves across the globe, The Bonus Years is an empowering manifesto for anyone who refuses to stand still. It is proof that to bloom late is not to bloom less - it is to bloom with deeper roots, on your own terms.

In 
 Christsein schafft eh keiner
 gibt Bestsellerautor Kevin DeYoung all jenen Hoffnung, die das Christsein als erdrückend und kompliziert empfinden.
 

 Während der Apostel Paulus das christliche Leben als einen Wettlauf beschreibt, fühlen sich viele Gläubige eher wie in einem endlosen Hindernisparcours. Sie leben mit der ständigen Angst, nicht genug zu tun, zu geben oder zu sein. Die Gute Nachricht der Bibel lautet: Treue und Fruchtbarkeit sind auch im ganz normalen Alltag möglich!
 

 DeYoung zeigt anhand biblischer Weisheit und persönlicher Erfahrung, dass vergangene Sünden wirklich vergeben sind und Christen nicht jedes gesellschaftliche Problem lösen müssen. Stattdessen lädt er dazu ein, sich mit Freude und Vertrauen Gott hinzugeben und die Freiheit eines Lebens im einfachen, aufrichtigen Gehorsam zu entdecken.

 Hoffnung für überforderte Christen, die an sich zweifeln

**This edition will be released in March 2027. If you want to get a copy ahead of then, have a look at our hardback edition, released in May 2026.** 'If you're worried about wasting your life, read this book.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in an age of AI. You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is the most important decision you'll ever make. Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades. So what should you do? Most advice is based on no research, instead offering (misleading) platitudes like 'follow your passion'. It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic: telling you to choose careers like nurse or doctor, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones. Benjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that's spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career. Here he introduces a tried-and-tested toolkit framework that has already led thousands of people to change their path. It covers:<ul><li>What really makes for a dream job, and why finding it probably doesn't involve 'following your passion'.</li><li>How to identify which global problems are most pressing, and why they might involve AI as much as climate change.</li><li>Which roles are likely to be automated, and how to ensure yours isn't among them.</li></ul> It's also full of practical tips and tools. You'll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that's rewarding and fulfils your potential to make a difference. 'This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I've seen.' Cal Newport, author of Deep Work 'A remarkably rigorous guide about how to find that perfect career for you.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Productivity 'Based on evidence and good sense, not platitudes.' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of our Nature 'The most informative book you can read if you're stuck trying to make one of life's most important decisions.' Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the World
