3. Kampf der Giganten: Warum China und Russland die globale Vorherrschaft der USA ablehnen
The old world order is crumbling before our eyes: the USA and Israel are attacking Iran. Russia and China are allying and rejecting the global dominance of the USA. The NATO states are failing in their proxy war in Ukraine against Russia. By supporting the genocide in Gaza, the West is losing moral credibility. US President Donald Trump is unsettling Europeans and threatening to take over Greenland after having the president of Venezuela kidnapped. After a "century of humiliation," China is rising to become a new superpower. Historian Daniele Ganser places the seemingly chaotic present in context and reveals the fascinating historical roots that have led us to the current power struggle among the three giants: the USA, Russia, and China. A confrontation is unfolding before us that will shape the 21st century.

5. Über die Psychologie des Geldes
Money has much more to do with psychology than with finances. When it comes to money, we believe we need to know certain facts, rules, and principles. We assume that the world of finance is the world of mathematics, where data and formulas tell us exactly how to behave, and people would then follow that guidance. However, the opposite is true: In the real world, people do not make their financial decisions based on a spreadsheet. They make them at dinner or during a meeting, where personal history, individual perspectives, ego, and other crude influences come together. So, it is primarily about psychology, emotions, and gray areas.
Through 20 short stories, the award-winning author Morgan Housel vividly illustrates that when it comes to money matters, what matters is not how much theoretical knowledge someone has, but how they behave in a stressful situation.
"One of the best and most original finance books in years."
Jason Zweig, The Wall Street Journal
"Morgan Housel is one of the brightest new stars in the finance world. He is accessible to anyone who wants to learn more about the psychology of money. I highly recommend this book."
James P. O'Shaughnessy, author of The Best Investment Strategies of All Time.

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and guided by childlike curiosity, THE BOOK takes you on a fascinating journey through the history of human achievement - from the simple plough to complex microelectronics. This work is more than a collection: it is a tribute to the brilliant ideas that have shaped our civilisation.

Book lovers and inquisitive minds will be inspired and fascinated as they turn the pages from world to world. With over 400 pages of impressive, hand-drawn illustrations, THE BOOK is a treasure for lovers of art, technology, history and mysterious sciences such as semiotics and hermeneutics.

This book is a mosaic of creativity to which a global community has contributed with passion and heart and soul: visionary minds, creative illustrators and draughtswomen, pioneers of science and meticulous researchers and editors. The result of this long endeavour is a unique work of art. This book is not only a feast for the eyes in terms of content, but opulence is also evident throughout.
7. Can't Hurt Me
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice and physical abuse haunted his dreams. But through self-discipline, mental toughness and hard work, he transformed himself from a depressed, overweight youth with no prospects into a U.S. Army icon and one of the top endurance athletes in the world. He is the only person to ever pass elite training to become a Navy SEAL as well as a U.S. Army Ranger and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, and he has also set numerous endurance records.
In "Can't Hurt Me" he tells his truly amazing life story and shows that most of us don't even realise half of our potential. Goggins calls this the 40 per cent rule. His outstanding example, on the other hand, illustrates how anyone can succeed in changing that and overcoming pain thresholds and fears.

9. Small Talk, Deep Talk
A Harvard professor deciphers the secret of good conversations. Although we talk to each other every day, we are often surprisingly bad at it. Even simple conversations can falter, remain superficial, or cause irritation. Renowned Harvard professor Alison Wood Brooks shows why this is the case: conversations are among the most complex, demanding, and delicate tasks in our lives, where misinterpretations and misunderstandings can easily occur. Yet they hold enormous potential, as every single conversation offers the opportunity to get to know ourselves and others better, to feel connected, recognized, and alive.
Good conversations contribute significantly to a successful life. It is astonishing: once we better understand the hidden architecture of our everyday exchanges, we realize that even small improvements in our conversational behavior can have a great impact. From speed daters who ask too few or too many questions, to aspiring leaders who shy away from preparing conversations deliberately, to traffic stops where the tone of communication determines how the situation unfolds: based on her groundbreaking research experiments, Alison Wood Brooks introduces us to the world of conversations and helps us master the many small challenges and opportunities we encounter. What should I talk about? When and what should I ask? How much should I reveal about myself? And how can I make small talk less awkward and deep talk less exhausting?.
