Beschreibung

The Busybody is the most popular comedy by the eighteenth-century playwright Susanna Centlivre. The play centres on two couples trying to form a relationship against the wills of their guardians, and in a battle of wits, playing with many conventions from theatre traditions across the continent, a conclusion is eventually reached.
Like her predecessor Aphra Behn, Centlivre was immensely successful in her day, drawing huge crowds to extended runs of her numerous plays, but the stabbing male pens of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries decried her work as being louche and dangerous, and her name slowly sunk into obscurity.
This edition, published with William Hazlitt's prefatory note and extra material on Centlivre's life and writing, seeks to highlight the dexterity with which she took on the stage.

    Singer-songwriter. Trailblazer. Mastermind. The Beatles of her generation. From her genre-busting rise in country music as a teenager to the economic juggernaut that is the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift has blazed a path that is uniquely hers. But how exactly has she managed to scale her success—multiple times—while dominating an industry that cycles through artists and stars like fashion trends? How has she managed to make and remake herself time and again while remaining true to her artistic vision? And how has she managed to master the constant disruption in the music business that has made it so hard for others to adapt and endure? 
     
     
     
    In There's Nothing Like This, Kevin Evers, a senior editor at Harvard Business Review, answers these questions in riveting detail. With the same thoughtful analysis usually devoted to iconic founders, game-changing innovators, and pioneering brands, Evers chronicles the business and creative decisions that have defined each phase of Swift's career. 
     
     
     
    Mixing business and art, analysis and narrative, and pulling from research in innovation, creativity, psychology, and strategy, There's Nothing Like This presents Swift as the modern and multidimensional superstar that she is—a songwriting savant and a strategic genius.

    Diligence is the steady commitment to putting in consistent effort, and it forms the foundation of every successful endeavor. It is not merely about working hard but about investing heart and mind into every task, regardless of its scale or significance. This chapter explores the essence of diligence, emphasizing that it goes beyond the pursuit of perfection and is more about the persistent, day-to-day practice of excellence. 
    At its core, diligence is an attitude that encourages individuals to remain engaged and proactive. It involves setting clear intentions, planning, and executing tasks with a mindful focus. The diligent person recognizes that challenges and obstacles are inevitable, yet they view each setback as an opportunity for growth rather than a barrier to progress. This mindset transforms mundane tasks into building blocks for personal and professional development. 
    Understanding diligence means recognizing its impact on the overall quality of work. It requires the discipline to resist shortcuts and the temptation to settle for mediocrity. A diligent approach is characterized by thoroughness, reliability, and a willingness to take on responsibility. It means being accountable for one’s actions and continuously striving to improve. With diligence, the process of learning and mastery becomes a journey rather than a destination.
