      Když mluvíme o sexu, mluvíme o ženství a mateřství, nevěře a zneužívání, souhlasu a respektu, spravedlnosti a rovnostářství, lásce a nenávisti, rozkoši a bolesti. A přesto o něm z nejrůznějších důvodů (některých složitých, a jiných vůbec ne) řada z nás nemluví. Své nejhlubší a nejintimnější obavy i fantazie skrýváme uzamčené v sobě, dokud se neobjeví někdo s klíčem. Ten klíč je tady. Gillian Andersonová v této přelomové knize uvádí sbírku anonymních dopisů stovek žen z celého světa, včetně vlastního anonymního dopisu. Od sikhské ženy, která popisuje svou tajnou touhu po švagrovi; Apačky, která chce být uctívaná jako božské stvoření; bílé Britky, která nechce nic víc, než aby ji někdo naposledy pořádně políbil; další, která si ráda hraje na pantera; anebo od hispánské Židovky žijící v Bangladéši, pro kterou vrchol sexuálního vzrušení představuje otočná koule u dveří. Chci odhaluje, jak ženy vnímají sex, když jim naprostá anonymita poskytne svobodu.

    • Imagine a sisterhood - across all creeds and cultures. An unspoken agreement that we, as women, will support and encourage one another. That we will remember we don't know what struggles each of us may be facing elsewhere in our lives and so we will assume that each of us is doing our best... So begins WE: an inspiring, empowering and provocative manifesto for change. Change which we can all effect, one woman at a time. Change which provides a crucial and timely antidote to the 'have-it-all' Superwoman culture and instead focusses on what will make each and every one of us happier and more free. Change which provides an answer to the nagging sense of 'is that it?' that almost all of us can succumb to when we wake in the dead of night. Written by actress Gillian Anderson and journalist Jennifer Nadel - two friends who for the last decade have stumbled along together, learning, failing, crying, laughing and trying again - WE is a not a theoretical treatise but instead a rallying cry to create a life that has greater meaning and purpose. Combining tools which are practical, psychological and spiritual, it is both a process and a vision for a more fulfilling way of living. And a truly inspiring vision of a happier, more emotionally rewarding future we can all create together...

    • From Gillian Anderson, star of the X-Files, and New York Times bestselling coauthor Jeff Rovin comes the second book in the thrilling paranormal series Earthend Saga that began with A Vision of Fire, which Marie Claire called “addictive!” After uncovering a mystical link to the ancient civilization of Galderkhaan, child psychologist Caitlin O’Hara is left with strange new powers. Suddenly she can heal her young patients with her mind and see things from other places and other times. But as she learns more about her powers, she also realizes that someone is watching her, perhaps hunting her—and using her son to do it. Meanwhile Mikel Jasso, a field agent for a mysterious research organization, is searching for Galderkhaani ruins in Antarctica. After falling down a crevasse, he discovers the entire city has been preserved under ice and that the mysterious stone artifacts he’s been collecting are not as primitive as he thought. As Mikel and Caitlin work to uncover the mysteries of the Galderkhaani, they realize that the person hunting Caitlin and the stones may be connected in ways they never knew possible. “Fans of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child will find a lot to like” (Publishers Weekly) in the Earthend Saga, and this latest adventure is sure to leave you gasping for breath as Caitlin races against time to save what’s dearest to her heart.

    • Warum sind so viele von uns Frauen immer noch in Selbstkritik, Abhängigkeit und selbstverletzendem Verhalten gefangen? Wie viel glücklicher und stärker wären wir, wenn wir – statt uns in ständigem Wettkampf gegeneinander zu wenden – unsere Kräfte vereinigen und einander mitfühlend begegnen würden? WIR ist eine Bewegung, die Veränderung herbeiführen will, ein Manifest für eine weibliche Revolution, für eine bewusste Kehrtwende. WIR fordert jede von uns auf, die Veränderung zu sein und die Reise vom Ich zum Wir anzutreten. In einer einzigartigen Verbindung von Psychologie und Spiritualität führen uns die Autorinnen auf eine lebensverändernde Reise. Der Ausgangspunkt sind neun Prinzipien für ein neues Handeln und Denken, mit denen wir ein Gegenstück zu unserer ichbezogenen Kultur erschaffen und negative Verhaltensmuster durch eine positive, friedliche und bewusste Lebensweise ersetzen.
