3. Die Kunst des klaren Denkens
New edition of the bestseller: completely revised, redesigned, with a large workbook section and numerous illustrations.
Our brains are optimised for life as hunters and gatherers. Today we live in a radically different world. This leads to systematic errors in thinking - which can be devastating for our finances, our careers and our happiness. Rolf Dobelli scrutinises the most treacherous thinking traps that we repeatedly fall into.
And so we learn
why we systematically overestimate our own knowledge (and think others are dumber than they are),
why something does not become more correct because millions of people believe it to be correct,
why we cling to theories even when they are demonstrably wrong.
Rolf Dobelli's texts are both extremely enriching in terms of content and a real pleasure to read.
Swiss author Rolf Dobelli's books don't just make you smarter, they actually make you happier. This is due to his pleasantly unagitated, profound advice.

I not only read Rolf Dobelli's books, I let every word melt in my mouth.

4. Patriot
The poignant and moving autobiography of a fearless opposition leader who had to pay the highest price for his beliefs. Nawalny began working on "Patriot" in 2020, shortly after the assassination attempt on him. It is the comprehensive story of his life: his youth, his calling as an activist, his marriage and family, as well as his commitment to democracy and freedom in Russia in the face of a superpower that desperately wants to silence him. "Patriot" showcases Nawalny's absolute conviction: change is unstoppable. It will come.
Vividly and with thrilling details, including previously unpublished records from prison, Nawalny recounts his political journey, the numerous attacks against him and his associates, and the relentless campaigns he and his team dared to lead against the increasingly dictatorial regime.
Nawalny's widow, Yulia Navalnaya, says: "This book is not only a testament to Alexei's life but also to his steadfast fight against dictatorship—a struggle for which he gave everything, including his life. Readers will get to know the man I deeply loved—a man of profound integrity and unyielding courage. His story will not only honor his memory but also inspire others to stand up for what is right and never lose sight of the values that truly matter."
Written with the passion, spirit, sincerity, and daring for which he was rightly admired, "Patriot" is Nawalny's farewell letter to the world: a moving portrayal of his final years spent in the world's most brutal prison, a reminder of why the principles of individual freedom are so important.
5. An African History of Africa
Selected as a book to look out for in 2024 by the Guardian, everyone is originally from Africa, and this book is therefore for everyone. For too long, Africa's history has been dominated by western narratives of slavery and colonialism, or simply ignored. Now, Zeinab Badawi sets the record straight. In this fascinating book, Badawi guides us through Africa's spectacular history - from the very origins of our species, through ancient civilizations and medieval empires with remarkable queens and kings, to the miseries of conquest and the elation of independence. Visiting more than thirty African countries to interview countless historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, and local storytellers, she unearths buried histories from across the continent and gives Africa its rightful place in our global story. The result is a gripping new account of Africa: an epic, sweeping history of the oldest inhabited continent on the planet, told through the voices of Africans themselves.
6. American Mother
An extraordinary story of grace, forgiveness, and moral courage.
The English language has no specific word for the parent that has lost a child. There are words for orphan, widow, and widower, but none that captures this tragic type of loss.
It has been eleven years since Diane Foley's son, the American journalist James Foley, was kidnapped in northern Syria, and nearly ten since that day in August 2014 when she learned that he had been murdered by ISIS in a public beheading that reverberated around the world. A whole decade. Time rushes past. Yet, for Diane, that moment is unending.
In "American Mother," legendary author Colum McCann tells Diane's story as she recalls the months of his captivity, the efforts made to bring him home, and the days following his death, during which Diane came face to face with one of the men responsible for her son's kidnapping and torture. A testament to the power of radical empathy and moral courage, "American Mother" takes us inside one woman's extraordinary journey to find connection in a world torn apart and to fight for others as a way to keep her son's memory alive.

Renowned astrophysicist Ben Moore is a moon expert who has been studying the bright orb in the night sky for many years.
