Maybe it was trying to lose weight, personal development, sports, finances or self-employment, etc. Do you remember the attempts you failed at? When you gave in to your inner pig for the sake of peace, or when you were no longer able or willing to withstand the pressure and you felt put on the defensive?Then you should definitely take a look at the Japanese change philosophy "Kaizen". With this philosophy you will learn how to approach your success and your goals with small steps but with high efficiency and how to reach your goals after all. Would you like to revive dreams and goals that have long since been filed away and to come closer step by step, without much effort, until the realization is inevitable? Wouldn't life immediately become much more meaningful again?Then turn to this book with its Japanese philosophy, which found its origin in large business groups and has continued its successful path into personal development. Kaizen means to approach improvements step by step instead of trying to bring about radical changes. The goal of the method is to continuously bring about minimal change and thus come inevitably closer to the goal.

  Francis Bacon's Nanny

  At the very centre of the life of one of the twentieth-century's greatest artists was the most unexpected of life-long influences. The aptly named Jessie Lightfoot shielded the young Francis Bacon from the brutish violence of his bullying father, as well as from his worst self-immolating excesses later in life. The tenderness, wit and warmth of this inimitable Nanny stands in illuminating relief to the sulphurous palette that defined Bacon's work.
  Beyond the humour and heart of this extraordinary woman – who finds herself confronted with the shade and guile of the artworld – Maylis Besserie also gives us a glimpse of Ireland in the first half of the twentieth century, both a powder keg and a place apart from the rest of the world, whose landscapes, imagery and animals haunted the famous painter's canvases.
  In the final of Maylis Besserie's Irish-French trilogy, her preoccupation with the art and lives of artists who crossed borders between France and Ireland has a fitting climax as Bacon confronts the boundaries between the real and the imagined.
  
  
  'In a virtuoso feat of literary ventriloquism, Maylis Besserie follows the advice of the Greek poet Cavafy to approach the world from unique and strange angles. Through the eyes of Bacon's nanny and close companion, she gives us brilliant insights into the conflicting personal, sexual, and artistic impulses that shaped a remarkable artist, rendered in the steadfast voice of someone who understood and loved the complex man behind the art. It marks a wonderful conclusion to a remarkable Irish trilogy.' Dermot Bolger

  American roots music, also known as Americana music, can be challenging to categorize, spanning the genres of jazz, bluegrass, country, blues, rock and roll, and an assortment of variations in between. In The Downhome Sound, Mandi Bates Bailey explores the messages, artists, community, and appeal of this seemingly disparate musical collective. To understand the art form's intended meanings and typical audiences, she analyzes lyrics and interviews Americana artists, journalists, and festival organizers to uncover a desire for inclusion and diversity. Bailey also conducts an experiment to assess listener reception relative to more commercial forms of music. The result is an in-depth study of the political and cultural influence of Americana and its implications for social justice.
