This book helps anyone who wants – and dares – to achieve the insight and motivation to be a positive agent of change.Anders Wijkman, Honorary President of the Club of RomeAs the world becomes increasingly complex and turbulent, it is clear we are facing a paradigm shift. Not only a technological shift, but also a shift in consciousness and personal leadership. To be sustainable and to live meaningful and impactful lives in this accelerating world, we need to grow faster and more deliberately than ever within ourselves.In The Authentic Shift, Carl Lindeborg condenses twenty years of experience of supporting people on personal growth journeys, often in contexts of change and transformation.In this practical guidebook, he illustrates why inner development is so crucial today and outlines the vital keys and resources that help you grow an inner core of strength, clarity and authenticity, and boost your capacity to be truly impactful.The Authentic Shift is for you who are looking for the next leap in your development as human being in a demanding and distracting world. It is written for you who have realised that significantly bigger impact does not necessarily come from running a little faster, but from the creation of a longer lever, anchored deep inside yourself. It is for you who is longing for a life with more meaning, connection and flow where your inner world shapes the outer world.The book is written as a development program, designed to help you take further steps in your ‘adult development’ (or ‘vertical development’) and grow in your most important roles, such as leader, colleague, friend or parent. It contains a mix of inspiring stories, enlightening theory and many concrete exercises and questions to reflect on. The ‘keys’ covered in the book are:1. Inner System Awareness2. Climate for Growth 3. Active Resonance 4. Balanced Intelligence 5. Inner Unlimitation 6. Value-Driven Authenticity 7. The Source of Meaningfulness 8. Creating the Future 9. The Hero’s JourneyAs a complement to “The Authentic Shift”, there is also a ‘Workbook for Reflection’ available. Here you find space to write down your insights and intentions, chapter by chapter.   Advance PraiseThe most honest and best guide to authentic leadership I believe can be written. Anna Serner, Board Executive and former CEO of the Swedish Film InstituteCarl gives us the unique tools to dig into ourselves and discover our authentic leadership, the leadership we need to navigate the multifaceted future we face.Vanessa Butani, Head of Global Sustainability, Volvo CarsAn exciting journey of discovery that helped me develop my work as a leader. If you are interested in leadership and curious to blaze new trails, I recommend you read this!Jenny Rundbladh, Executive Vice President Storebrand Group  A sustainable transformation of the world will be much more difficult unless people can find themselves and be guided by good values. Carl Lindeborg provides concrete tools for this journey.Gustaf Lind, CEO, WWF Sweden   If you are going to read one book for your own development, I highly recommend The Authentic Shift – a handbook for those who want to understand what it means to be part of the new paradigm of leadership. Lasse Wrennmark, founder of Companions for LeadershipI have long been interested in adult development, and combining theory with method in this way makes Carl’s book one of the most important I have read. Liselotte J Bate, Culture and Sustainability Manager, GranitorIn The Authentic Shift I could easily relate to the author's life reflections, get deep insights into the neural mechanisms driving our behaviours and reactions and most importantly start using the excellent practical tools immediately. Annica Bresky, Board Executive and former CEO of Stora EnsoA unique depiction of rational thoughts, emotional insights and reality. Let go, dare to be guided and find a new perspective.

George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm are two of the most influential novels of the 20th century: works of biting political satire, echoing the tumultuous years after World War II. In Animal Farm [1945], Orwell examines the mechanisms of Stalinism through an allegory of animals revolting against their human owner, and taking control of their farm. 1984 [1949] extends the view into the future: The country of Oceania has implemented a society of control, hostile to freedom and humanity at all levels, especially in and as language. Constant surveillance prevails - Big Brother Is Watching You - and any deviation is ruthlessly punished. Few works of literature have had an impact equalling 1984. Orwell's uncanny ability to predict societal trends makes it - along with Animal Farm - as relevant today as when it was first published.GEORGE ORWELL was born in India in 1903, and died in London in 1950. As a journalist, critic, and author, he was a keen observer of his time and its political conditions and consequences.

Told as a thriller, Free the Animals is a classic work of radical popular storytelling. A classic in the mold of Edward Abbey’s The Monkey Wrench Gang.First published by Noble Press in 1992, then reprinted and revised by Lantern in 2005 and 2012, this thirtieth anniversary edition is revised, expanded, newly typeset, updated, and has a new foreword, by Academy Award–winning actor Joaquin Phoenix, and an afterword, by Dr. Emily Trunnell, who describes whether and how the experiments you read about in this book have changed (or have not) over the last three decades.Free the Animals is the story of Valerie, a twenty-three-year-old police officer in Montgomery County, Maryland, whose world is turned upside down when she learns about the abuses of animals in laboratories. The book describes how this law-abiding woman comes to challenge the system by taking direct action and examines why ordinary people are moved to do extraordinary things on behalf of animals. Full of fascinating characters, vivid descriptions, and thrilling incidents, and rich with details on what it means to live life on the run from the law (and agents provocateurs), Free the Animals is not only a classic for our times but a compellingly relevant examination of our cruelty to other animals.

Neffy is a young woman running away from grief and guilt and the one big mistake that has cost her her career. When she answers the call to volunteer in a controlled vaccine trial, it offers her a way to pay off her many debts and, perhaps, to make up for the past.But when the London streets below her window fall silent, and all external communications cease, only Neffy and four other volunteers remain in the unit. With food running out, and a growing sense that the strangers she is with may be holding back secrets, Neffy has questions that no-one can answer. Does safety lie inside or beyond the unit? And who, or what is out there?While she weighs up her choices, she is introduced to a pioneering and controversial technology which allows her to revisit memories from her life before: a childhood divided between her enigmatic mother and her father in his small hotel in Greece. Intoxicated by the freedom of the past and the chance to reunite with those she loves, she increasingly turns away from her perilous present. But in this new world where survival rests on the bonds between strangers, is she jeopardising any chance of a future?The Memory of Animals is a taut and emotionally charged novel about freedom and captivity, survival and sacrifice and whether you can save anyone before you save yourself.

Informativt och roligt om det som kännetecknar oss svenskar - på engelska! Hur är vi när det gäller punktlighet, köan­de, vädret och konflikter? Gunnar Jägberg skriver med glimten i ögat om vitt skilda områden: tradi­tioner, mat och dryck, uttryck och ordspråk, nya ord, oskrivna regler, det svenska lynnet ... Läs om sådant som utgör gamla och nya traditioner: Nobelpriset, Fredagsmys, Fika och Surströmming. Och om sådant som kännetecknar svenskar. (Du vet att du är svensk när du tycker att danskar är kontinentala.)Läs vidare om svenska grundbultar som knäckebröd, kaviar, jämställdhet, studiecirklar, konflikträdsla, svårmod, körsång och delad nota på restaurang. Om om hur svenska föräldrar är mästare på att curla sina barn och om VAB, den svenska föräldrarförsäkringen som är så unik att människor i andra länder tror att det är ett skämt när de förstår hur den fungerar.En liten språklektion ingår som förklarar idiomatiska bilduttryck som inte kan översättas bokstavligt: ge igen för gammal ost, ana ugglor i mossen, göra en pudel, ha en räv bakom örat...Gunnar Jägberg går också igenom alla dessa oskrivna regler som kan vara nyttiga att kunna kring sådant som köande, punktlighet, jantelagen.En fin och användbar gåva till turister, utlandsvänner och engelsktalande i Sverige som vill veta hur svenskar tänker och samtidigt få ett leende på läpparna. Och kanske lära sig lite svenska.  IN ENGLISH:Informative and witty insights into what characterizes the Swedes in English! How do we behave when it comes to punctuality, standing in line, the weather and conflicts? Gunnar Jägberg writes about topics such as traditions, food and drink, colloquial expressions and proverbs, unwritten rules, the Swedish temperament, all in a satirical vein . . . Read about what makes up old and new Swedish traditions like the Nobel Prize, the Friday ritual called Fredagsmys, coffee breaks or fika and fermented herring known as Surströmming. And find out what characterizes us as Swedes. (For example: You know that you are Swedish when you think that Danes are continental.) Learn more about basic Swedish concepts such as hard bread (knäckebröd), caviar, equal opportunity (jämställhet), study circles (studiecirklar), fear of conflicts (konflikträdsla), Swedish melancholy (svårmod), choir singing (körsång) and sharing the restaurant bill (delad nota). Find out why Swedish parents are masters at curling their children, and learn about the parental benefits for sick children in Sweden called VAB which people from other countries think is a joke when they understand how it works. A brief language lesson is included which explains some idiomatic expressions that cannot be translated literally, for example giving back for old cheese, suspecting owls in the bog, making a poodle, having a fox behind your ear . . . Gunnar Jägberg also covers all of the unwritten rules which are important to know about standing in line, punctuality and the Jante Law. A wonderfully useful book for tourists, foreign friends and for English speakers in Sweden who want to know how Swedes think while having a smile and maybe even learning a little Swedish. GUNNAR JÄGBERG has written several books.  Format Inbunden Omfång 92 sidor Språk Engelska Förlag Ordalaget Bokförlag Utgivningsdatum 2019-04-08 Medverkande Rachelle Puryear ISBN 9789174692587
