MATTHEW SYED 'Using high achieving individuals, teams and sporting
stories Simon has looked into something we actually all know or at
least once did - the ability to live life more in the now' JASON
FOX Simon Mundie, host of The Life Lessons podcast,draws on
interviews with some of the world s sporting legends to redefine
how we understand and pursue - success through 8 key lessons. As
the sports reporter for BBC Radio 1 for the best part of a decade,
Simon Mundie was pitch-side at many of the most high-profile
sporting events in history. It was often thrilling, but when he
took to the airwaves to report on what he had seen, it increasingly
felt like something was missing. The emphasis always seemed to be
on results, tactics and the score.But as the saying goes, sport is
a metaphor for life so Simon set out to explore that. Drawing on
interviews with sporting legends from Jonny Wilkinson to Kate
Richardson-Walsh, Caitlyn Jenner to Goldie Sayers, along with
psychologists, philosophers and world-renowned thinkers, Simon
shares some of the tools and techniques that sportspeople have
embraced to grow and evolve as athletes and people. From developing
emotional intelligence to the power of true acceptance and the joy
of getting in flow, he explores eight universal themes that are
highlighted in sport, but that are all too easily overlooked in the
favour of simpler, shallower narratives about winning, trophies and
success .What can the careers of Ga l Monfils and Andy Murray teach
us about exploring our potential? What can England s Olympic
gold-medal winning hockey team teach us about the power of being
truly selfless? Wise and inspiring, Champion Thinking illustrates
that whether in sport, at work or in our relationships, worshipping
at the altar of success isn t going to bring us happiness. The
contentment we are all looking for isn t somewhere out there it s
actually so close that we tend to overlook it. 'The intention
behind this book is beautiful, and I highly recommend it' RUPERT
SPIRA 'Mundie understands something most of us discover eventually:
that the pursuit of sporting excellence is the best guide we have
to what it means to be human' AMOL RAJAN
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
