Rick Smith Knihy

Jak zásadně zlepšit svůj život pomocí tří jednoduchých změn Autor zažil neobyčejné věci: dlouho žil neuspokojivě, pak během osmnácti měsíců napsal knihu, která se stala bestsellerem, založil firmu, díky níž přišel do úzkého kontaktu s předními osobnostmi, a vydělal peníze, o jakých se mu ani nesnilo. Ptal se, proč právě jemu se podařilo změnit nudný život v mimořádný úspěch, a rozhodl se pátrat, co spojuje ony mimořádné „obyčejné“ lidi, osobnosti, které dosáhly úspěchu, aniž by byly obdařeny nějakým oslňujícím nadáním. Proč právě jejich kariéry nabraly jiný směr, a co se my – kteří se stále pachtíme v průměru – můžeme od nich naučit? Kniha je výsledkem pěti let intenzivní práce, kdy autor zpovídal úspěšné lidi, ochotné mu své příběhy vyprávět. Kniha obsahuje praktické rady, jak se můžeme i my bezpečně připravit na svůj vlastní skok k výšinám.

The landmark book about the toxicity of everyday life, updated, revised and re-issued for its 10th anniversary, along with the experiments from Smith and Lourie's second book, Toxin Toxout. It's amazing how little can change in a decade. In 2009, a book transformed the way we see our frying pans, thermometers and tuna sandwiches. Daily life was bathing us in countless toxins that accumulated in our tissues, were passed on to our children and damaged our health. To expose the extent of this toxification, environmentalists Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie offered themselves to science and undertook a series of over a dozen experiments to briefly raise their personal levels of mercury, BPA, Teflon and other pollutants. The ease with which ordinary activities caused dangerous levels to build in their bodies was a wake-up call, and readers all over the world responded. But did government regulators and corporations? Ten years later, there is good news. But not much. Concise, shocking, practical and hopeful, this new combined edition of one of the most important books ever published about green living will put the nasty stuff back where it belongs: on the national agenda and out of our bodies.
