Vivere. Un respiro, una foglia che cade, un'esistenza serena
Una guida a fumetti dedicata al nostro rapporto con l'esistenza. Grant Snider, illustratore dal tocco ironico quanto delicato, nel breve arco di una o due facciate ha abbozzato i pensieri più frequenti, le osservazioni poetiche e i piccoli fallimenti quotidiani che riempiono le nostre giornate, creando un mosaico di immagini capaci di suscitare emozioni ai limiti del sorriso e della contemplazione. Con velata comicità, ha tratteggiato innumerevoli scorci di realtà, solo e soltanto con il sincero e nobile intento di aiutarci nel modo più immediato possibile a prestare attenzione all'empatia, al rilassamento e alla gratitudine, virtù dell'anima, queste, necessarie e oggi più che mai imprescindibili. Le sue vignette sono per chiunque creda nella poesia di una foglia che cade o di un soffio di vento tra i capelli; il suo è un invito suggestivo e gentile a riprendere in mano la nostra vita, consapevolmente.

Quiet power. I superpoteri degli introversi
Quando Susan Cain era un'adolescente, molti le chiedevano perché fosse così silenziosa. Per anni ha fatto del suo meglio per apparire "socievole", che a scuola sembrava il complimento migliore che si potesse ricevere. Si sforzava di parlare di più in classe e andava a feste chiassose e piene di gente anche quando avrebbe preferito uscire con pochi amici. Con il tempo però ha realizzato che il suo approccio pacato verso la vita era sempre stato un grande potere: gli altri la apprezzavano per la profondità delle sue riflessioni, la capacità di ascolto e la calma. Dopo "Quiet. Il potere degli introversi in un mondo che non sa smettere di parlare", Susan Cain ha scritto una guida pensata appositamente per i bambini e gli adolescenti e per il loro mondo (la scuola, le attività sportive, la vita familiare, i rapporti con i coetanei), ricca di storie esemplari di introversi famosi, da Einstein a Beyoncé a Emma Watson, ma anche di strategie e consigli pratici per imparare a usare i "superpoteri" degli introversi e affrontare le sfide più difficili.

Stille kracht
De geheime voordelen van introvert zijnToen Susan Cain zelf jong was werd haar vaak gevraagd waarom ze toch zo stil was. Ze deed zich daarom jarenlang voor als extravert - dat was immers de norm - totdat ze inzag dat haar kracht juist lag in haar scherpe observaties, luisterende oor en rustige karakter. Sindsdien wil Cain 'stille types' het gevoel bezorgen dat ze overal zichzelf kunnen zijn - op school en in de samenleving in het algemeen. Eerder schreef ze de bestseller Stil en dit boek is een versie voor jongeren en hun ouders.'Cain rekent grondig af met het vooroordeel dat introversie een zwakte is.' Trouw

I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf
It's no secret, but we are judged by our bookshelves. We learn to read at an early age, and as we grow older we shed our beloved books for new ones. But some of us surround ourselves with books. We collect them, decorate with them, are inspired by them, and treat our books as sacred objects. In this lighthearted collection of one- and two-page comics, writer/artist Grant Snider explores bookishness in all its forms, building on the beloved literary comics featured on his website, Incidental Comics.

Still und Stark
Als Susan Cain ein Teenager war, wurde sie oft gefragt, warum sie so still ist. Daraufhin zwang sie sich jahrelang, im Unterricht das Wort zu ergreifen und auf Partys zu gehen, auch wenn sie ihre freie Zeit lieber mit einer guten Freundin verbracht hätte. Im Laufe der Jahre erkannte Susan, dass ihre Introvertiertheit keine Schwäche, sondern eine Stärke war. Sie nahm sich Zeit zum Nachdenken, war ausgeglichen und eine gute Zuhörerin. Ihr erstes Buch »Still« wurde ein weltweiter Erfolg und ermutigte viele Introvertierte, zu sich selbst zu stehen. In ihrem zweiten Buch dreht sich alles um die Welt von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Sie "sind oft talentiert, einzigartig und liebevoll. Und trotzdem denken sie, dass etwas mit ihnen nicht stimmt. Das muss sich ändern", beschreibt Susan Cain ihr Anliegen, das hinter diesem wichtigen Buch steckt.

With her inspiring book, she permanently changed the way we see introverts and the way introverts see themselves.

You'll read about actual kids who have tackled the challenges of not being extroverted and who have made a mark in their own quiet way. You'll hear Susan Cain's own story, and you'll be able to make use of the tips at the end of each chapter. There's even a guide at the end of the book for parents and teachers.
