Tajwan z biednego i zacofanego kraju w przeciągu życia dwóch pokoleń był w stanie dogonić w poziomie życia takie kraje jak Niemcy, Szwecja czy Kuwejt nie posiadając jednak żadnych zasobów naturalnych. Rośnie nieprzerwanie od ponad 60 lat i stał się jednym ze światowych liderów technologicznych oraz siedemnastym eksporterem na świecie, na równi z Indiami. Książka pokazuje, że choć imponujące, to nie jest to wyjątkowe osiągnięcie w historii gospodarczej świata. Wyjątkowy nie jest również ich model gospodarczy i wbrew obiegowej opinii jest możliwy do zastosowania w dowolnym innym miejscu na ziemi. Książka ten model przybliża, wyjaśnia i pokazuje jak można go powtórzyć. Nie krytykuje, a odpowiada na krytykę. Książka stawia dwa ważne pytania: co trzeba zmienić aby dogonić centrum oraz jak to należy zrobić. Odpowiedź jednak zaskoczy większość czytelników przyzwyczajonych do „zachodnich” recept. To jak postawienie obecnego świata do góry nogami i mało tego, okazuje się że dopiero wtedy wszystko nabiera sensu i logiki. Aby jednak w pełni zrozumieć dziejące się wokół nas procesy trzeba się cofnąć aż do XVI wiecznej Europy. From a poor and backward country, Taiwan has been able to catch up with the standard of living of countries such as Germany, Sweden, and Kuwait within the lifetime of two generations, without having any natural resources. It has grown steadily for over 60 years and has become one of the world's technological leaders and the seventeenth exporter in the world, on a par with India! The book shows that while impressive, this is not a unique achievement in world economic history. Nor is their economic model unique, and contrary to popular belief it is applicable anywhere else on earth. The book brings this model closer, explains it and shows how it can be replicated. It does not criticize, but responds to criticism. The book asks two important questions: what needs to change to catch up with the center and how it should be done. The answer, however, will surprise most readers accustomed to "Western" prescriptions. It's like putting the current world upside down, and it turns out that only then does everything make sense and logic. However, to fully understand the processes happening around us, we need to go back as far as 16th century Europe.
George Bernard Shaw
“How He Lied to Her Husband” is a play by George Bernard Shaw, an Irish playwright who became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. How He Lied to Her Husband is a one-act comedy play by George Bernard Shaw, who wrote it, at the request of actor Arnold Daly, over a period of four days while he was vacationing in Scotland in 1904. In its preface he described it as "a sample of what can be done with even the most hackneyed stage framework by filling it in with an observed touch of actual humanity instead of with doctrinaire romanticism." The play has often been interpreted as a kind of satirical commentary on Shaw's own highly successful earlier play Candida (which one of the characters gets tickets to see).
How I lost 50,5 kgs in 5 month and 5 days. A history of 1061 days of failures and a path to success

How I lost 50,5 kgs in 5 month and 5 days. A history of 1061 days of failures and a path to success. This book is my story. It's about success, the road to it; there's a bit of theory. But mostly, it's about practice - how, in 158 days (the title 5 months and five days), I changed my life and lost 50.5 kg. A hilarious picture of Pawel Jaronski is circulating the web - a doctor diagnosing a patient, saying, "You are fat. Please don't be fat." The patient thanks him, and the consultation is over. Much weight-loss advice looks similar. Seemingly simple advice that only looks good on paper. Or in a world of superheroes endowed with superpowers. This is not a book for superheroes. Nor is it a book written by a superhero. It is a story about how to win, despite stumbles and failures. How to learn lessons. How to pick yourself up after successive falls. You will only find advice that works in everyday life. You will get practical advice tailored to the busy lifestyles of today's world. Based on factual foundations and the knowledge of experts in many fields but is complemented by the true story of a man who has faced himself. Or that's what superheroism is. This book is a record of my story. I won't describe my life, but I will discuss almost four years. It will be about success but also the road to it. The first part concerns the period from 23 August 2019 to 18 July 2022. That is 1,061 days, which can be seen as a period of failure. Or (to paraphrase Thomas Edison), it was a period in which I discovered 1061 ways to lose weight that didn't work. The second part was the 158 days (actually the eponymous five months and five days), during which, using the experiences I had gathered, I changed my life and lost 50.5 kg. To lose weight, I had to suffer from depression and stage III obesity. Sometimes people with depression say they woke up driving a car in a head-on collision. Me, I feel like I woke up in the vicinity of a coffin with a box of pizza in my hand. The fact that I have lost and continue to lose weight is the result of the sum of my experiences, not a magical transformation. This is only a book for some. I am not a doctor, although doctors do appear in it. This is not a book to diagnose endocrine disorders or other illnesses (see a doctor about those!). I will not help you all. But if at least a few people benefit from my story, I will still be happy. The fact that I have a circle of people supporting me is lucky. Some people are not so fortunate. But it's worthwhile then to seek help from professionals (psychotherapists, psychologists) who can help in such a situation. But if my experiences are to help at least one person - it is worth sharing such knowledge. That is why this book was written.
