2. Patmos The message of the Koran
The important Islamic scholar Muhammad Asad, born as Leopold Weiss, 1900 - 1992, a leading figure of progressive Muslims, translated and commented the Koran for the Western world into English. His excellent translation is the only one that has been translated into many other languages. This made her world-famous. For the first time it is now available in German and thus gives the Koran new validity in the modern world.
The uniqueness of the translation is based on the fact that Muhammad Asad mastered Classical Arabic as well as the dialects of the Bedouin tribes. The Bedouins were the first addressees of the Koran. The cultural traditions of the nomads had remained unchanged since the emergence of Islam. Asad, who lived in Saudi Arabia for many years, studied it in detail for its historically authentic translation of the Islamic script.
3. Avery Publishing Group Atomic Habits
No matter what goals you have, "Atomic Habits" provides a proven framework for daily improvements. James Clear, one of the leading experts in habit formation worldwide, reveals practical strategies that show you exactly how to develop good habits, break bad habits, and master the small behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're struggling to change your habits, the problem isn't you; the problem is your system.

Here, you will find a proven system that can elevate you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied in everyday life and work. He draws on the most reliable ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide that makes good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers are inspired and entertained by true stories of Olympic champions, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving doctors, and prominent comedians who have harnessed the science of small habits to master their craft and reach the top of their fields.

9. Piper 4000 Wochen
Life is short, but that’s no reason to worry. Time is never enough - never. We have just about 4,000 weeks on Earth, and that’s only if we live to around eighty. It’s no wonder we constantly try to cram as much as possible into this brief period. In doing so, we lose sight of the things that truly matter and make us happy. Oliver Burkeman cleverly and entertainingly shows how we can resist the pressure of time and efficiency - and thus do justice to the astonishing brevity and vibrant possibilities of our lives. “The most important book ever written on time management.” Adam Grant. “A wonderfully honest book!” Mark Manson.

B>A New York Times Bestsellerbr>br>b>A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 br>br>/b>Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPRbr> b> /b>br> b>"A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe--and how we've all been doing it wrong for a long, long time." --Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat, Pray, Love/b>br>br>No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you're not breathing properly./b>br>There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. br>br>Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren't found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.br>br>Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. br>br>Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.
