New Releases by Chris Anderson

?《富比士》盛讚：2024 年領導人必讀之書 ? TED 演說上線 4 小時衝破 75,000 觀看人次，旋獲伊隆．馬斯克轉發 ?《人慈》、《享受吧！一個人的旅行》作者、艾倫．狄波頓等名家力推 ? 亞馬遜最佳「非小說類」編輯精選 ? 上市首日空降亞馬遜暢銷榜 Top 1 一個有感染力的想法， 足以引發改變眾人一生的漣漪。 在憤世嫉俗的世界裡相信人慈， 5 大要素，讓善意引發善意， 你不必是大人物，也能具有感染力。 《科克斯書評》星級評論： 「這是一幅幸福地圖，引領我們遠離兩極化與自私自利的社會，前往充滿希望與人道之地，那裡才是我們該去的地方。」 ★踏上展現慷慨的旅程，意義和喜悅會成為不離不棄的旅伴★ 作者克里斯身為 TED 總裁，除了見證 TED 品牌免費提供全球各地人士使用後的遍地開花，也在這個讓最有創見的思想家分享最振奮人心想法的平台上，目睹眾多具有感染力的理念泛起漣漪、擴及各地、造福眾人。他認為，是時候了，於是提筆寫下這本用全新視角看待慷慨（不限於金錢）的書，透過鼓舞人心的案例，他要分享如何讓慷慨變得具有感染力，而且是一種我們希望永遠不會痊癒的感染力。 ★看待慷慨的全新視角：被低估的善良★ 與我們追求的愛情、財富、事業不同，慷慨帶來的感覺良好經常在事後發生，更神奇的是，這種喜悅不會隨著「享樂適應」而淡化。我們一想到愛情、財富、成功，就會和幸福產生連結；但想到給予，就感覺自己將失去某些東西。展現慷慨的衝動，就這樣被損失規避的傾向所抵消。 然而，大多數人內心都存在兩種本能：（1）渴望幫助他人、（2）看見慷慨行為會想要仿效。當我們看見一輛火車朝著一個卡在鐵軌上的小女孩疾駛而去，挺身而出的衝動或許會被避險的理性給澆熄，但這種「衝動」的存在就是一種證明。在 TED 社群所進行的一項「神祕實驗」裡，來自七個國家的 200 名受試者皆收到一筆 30 萬元的捐贈，其中僅有三分之一的錢是用在自己身上，其餘款項不是造福親友就是轉捐贈，就連不必交代自己如何使用這筆錢的對照組也相同。有些受試者表示：「慷慨讓我感覺自己被看見，我要別人也感覺被看見，就像我一樣。」 ★5大要素，從泛起漣漪到遍地開花★ ﹡觸動真實的情感 ．在全球擁有最高訂閱數一億八千萬的YouTuber，如何善用「觸動情感」達到今日成就？ ．記者在IG發起的「好消息傳千里」運動，如何用一張照片在24 小時內擄獲 30 萬個讚，並為兒童救護基金募得巨額款項？ ﹡發揮瘋狂的創造力 ．在日本，為何裝扮成武士就能把乏味的撿垃圾變成酷炫的運動，在各地吸引眾人加入？ ．一名巴西街頭藝術家為了向垃圾清運工致敬而在他們的板車上作畫，最終如何吸引逾千名贊助者與八百位志工，並讓這項運動傳至其他國家？ ﹡鼓起勇氣 ．一名非裔音樂家如何邀請三 K 黨領導人對話，使他脫離三 K 黨並鼓舞了數百萬人？ ．一名 99 歲老翁的百歲前繞行花園百圈的承諾，為何能讓他受邀錄製單曲、成為最高齡的暢銷榜榜首，並募得十三億款項？ ﹡挺身而出與團結合作 ．當防彈少年團為「黑人的命也是命」運動捐款三千萬元，他們的粉絲軍團（Army）如何在 24 小時籌捐相同的金額？ ﹡建造一具擴大器 ．建立社群媒體，用特定方式來幫助有需要的人 ．設立平台，連結關心同一議題的人 ．透過應用程式，讓人可以更容易地提供建議或尋求幫助 ．建立一項群眾募資計畫 ．設立一個組織，推動你所關心的議題 ★冒一點險，給予我們能給的， 也許會對接下來發生的事感到驚奇★

Una llamada a redescubrir la mejor idea que ha tenido la humanidad Chris Anderson ha sido testigo de los más importantes hallazgos, inventos e innovaciones tecnológicas de los últimos veinte años. Un día, al recapitular sobre todas las enseñanzas que había extraído a lo largo de su andadura como director de TED Talks, reparó en el hilo que conectaba todas esas grandes lecciones: la generosidad. Poco después, el colapso del coronavirus lo llevó a explorar los mecanismos del contagio. Fue entonces cuando concluyó que hay algunas pandemias, como la de la generosidad, que pueden llegar a mejorar el mundo. Y que, aunque un acto altruista individual pueda tener poca influencia, si conseguimos hacerlo contagioso producirá una reacción en cadena capaz de impulsar comportamientos positivos a nivel colectivo. En este inspirador ensayo, Anderson muestra cómo las mismas tecnologías modernas que han servido para alentar conductas tóxicas pueden ser útiles a la hora de amplificar la bondad. Que es posible reaprovechar la conectividad de la que gozamos y la viralidad de las redes sociales para promover conductas positivas. Generosidad contagiosa es una invitación a repensar internet como una herramienta capaz de unir a la gente en lugar de separarla y de humanizar una sociedad hoy polarizada y egoísta. De llevar a cabo ese paso del yo al nosotros que inspire la confianza recíproca y posibilite la cooperación, que fue lo que permitió el florecimiento de las civilizaciones. Porque tal y como afirma Anderson —y reza el lema de TED— es esa la idea que, por encima de todas, merece la pena difundir.

O potencial contagioso da generosidade tem origem em dois fatores-chave: a natureza humana e a conetividade da era moderna. Chris Anderson, autor de "A Cauda Longa", descreve como as características negligenciadas que se encontram no interior de cada ser humano se podem combinar para criar reações em cadeia de comportamentos generosos. E como esses efeitos em cascata podem ser potenciados pela Internet para ter um impacto que mude o mundo.

The divine meets us in the real world and nowhere else, Anderson suggests in these poems, coming without fanfare and often startling us with its presence. When and where should we look for these encounters? Here and now. In our ordinary lives. In those everyday moments, now and then, when something suddenly stirs within us, a reality we can''t quite put into words. The quiet poems of this collection, through their clarity and craft, invite us to enter this mystery, offering us glimpses of a beauty we never expected, a wordless radiance rising in the dark. In Anderson''s poetry, hope takes shape in the ordinary; wisdom lingers between the lines. In each of the poems collected here, Anderson helps us taste the mystery hidden in our lives and invites us to trust it-to dare joy and risk hope in these difficult times. "One by one, the poems in Love Calls Us Here gift us with something small and bright. Nothing fancy, nothing explained, belabored, nothing but an episode of what I have to call grace. There is no other word. Just enough." - Kim Stafford, author of As the Sky Begins to Change "In each poem we are led to a moment of awareness: God meets us here. They are deeply reassuring. They are also whimsical and poignant and surprising, sometimes breathtakingly apt." - Marilyn McIntyre, author of Word by Word: A Daily Spiritual Practice "These plainspoken, profound, surprising, earnest poems mark Chris Anderson as one of my favorite voices in this tangled world." - Paul J. Willis, author of Somewhere to Follow "Awakens readers to realize we are immersed in a world of wondrous gifts, gifts delivered through loved ones and strangers, through dogs, gardens, geese, the solar system, etc. These poems are quiet celebrations and lessons for life."- Abbot Jeremy Driscoll, O.S.B., Mount Angel Abbey, author of A Monk''s Alphabet

Tobey is a young troll who loves to help people. He is an excellent example that being different is a strength. Even when people try to mistreat him, he never changes who he truly is, both inside and out. With his amazing heart and caring personality, he continues to help everyone with whom he crosses paths, wherever he lives. One day, a tough situation convinces him to move permanently to a new town. That new town appreciates him, and it is a blessing for both the townsfolk and Tobey.

“If you want to help create a more equitable world but don’t know where to start, Infectious Generosity is for you.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes The bestselling author, media pioneer, and curator of TED explores one of humankind’s defining but overlooked impulses, and how we can super-charge its potential to build a hopeful future Let’s face it: Recent years have been tough on optimists. Hopes that the Internet might bring people together have been crushed by the ills of social media. Is there a way back? As head of TED, Chris Anderson has had a ringside view of the world’s boldest thinkers sharing their most uplifting ideas. Inspired by them, he believes that it’s within our grasp to turn outrage back into optimism. It all comes down to reimagining one of the most fundamental human virtues: generosity. What if generosity could become infectious generosity? Consider • how a London barber began offering haircuts to people experiencing homelessness—and catalyzed a movement • how two anonymous donors gave $10,000 each to two hundred strangers and discovered that most recipients wanted to “pay it forward” with their own generous acts • how TED itself transformed from a niche annual summit into a global beacon of ideas by giving away talks online, allowing millions access to free learning In telling these inspiring stories, Anderson has given us “the first page-turner ever written about human generosity” (Elizabeth Dunn). More important, he offers a playbook for how to embark on our own generous acts—whether gifts of money, time, talent, connection, or kindness—and to prime them, thanks to the Internet, to have self-replicating, even world-changing, impact.

أجل، أفكارك مهمة... فتعلَّم الآن كيفية عرضها بطريقة عصيَّة على النسيان. دأب كريس آندرسون منذ عام 2001م بمركز تيد، على إظهار قوة تأثير الأحاديث القصيرة التي تتم صياغتها ببراعة، مقارنة بأي شيء آخر مكتوب. ويشرح هنا كيفية تحقيق معجزة مخاطبة الجماهير المؤثرة، ومن ثم يزودك بها لكي توليها جُلَّ عنايتك وغاية اهتمامك. عمل آندرسون خلف الكواليس مع كل متحدثي تيد الأكثر إلهامًا لنا وتأثيرًا فينا؛ فشاركهم الأفكار، بداية من أولئك المتحدثين الأثيرين البارزين كالسير كين روبنسون، وإليزابيث قيلبرت، وسلمان خان، وعشرات المتحدثين غيرهم؛ إذ شاطرهم كل شيء انطلاقًا من كيفية صياغة محتوى حديثك، وصولًا إلى الكيفية التي تجعلك أكثر حضورًا وتأثيرًا على المنصَّة. وعليه، يُعَدُّ هذا الكتاب دليل القرن الحادي والعشرين الجديد لتواصل مؤثر فعَّال حقًّا، لا غنى عنه لكل أولئك الذين يرغبون في أن تترك أفكارهم بصمتها المميزة. «لا أتجاوز الحقيقة إن قلت: إن أحاديث تيد أصبحت معيارًا لكل ما قلَّ ودلَّ من حديث في عصرنا هذا... نعم، تُعَدُّ أحاديث تيد دليلًا لهذه اللغة الجديدة، التي كتبها الإنسان، فحوَّلها إلى قوة عالمية». ستيفن جونسون، مؤلف كتاب: (كيف وصلنا إلى ما نحن عليه اليوم)؛ الذي يُعَدُّ ضمن قائمة الكتب الأكثر مبيعًا. «لم يكن هذا الكتاب أكثر الكتب التي تناولت موضوع مخاطبة الجماهير عمقًا فحسب، بل يشكل أيضًا نظرة مثيرة للإعجاب، فاحصة لكيفية التَّواصل... فبعث فيَّ الأمل بقدرة الكلمات على تغيير العالم». آدم قرانت، أستاذ بكلية وارتون بجامعة بنسلفانيا الأمريكية، ومؤلف كتاب (الأصول)، أحد منشورات الـ (نيويورك تايمز) الأكثر مبيعًا. العبيكان 2018

Chris Anderson''s You Never Know is an accessible down-to-earth collection of poetry. Catholic, Christian, and "Spiritual But Not Religious" readers will find humor and breathtaking prose in these poems set primarily in the Pacific Northwest. Juxtaposing experience and intuition, Anderson challenges readers to find connections in the elusive and inexplicable. The surprising presence of God, or the Mystery, or Something Other, lingers in our memory and our longing and our everyday lives. "We never know" in the sense that this is all a mystery, beyond us; and yet "we never know" in the sense that life is full of surprises, and wonderful surprises. We have to see them. Remember them. And poetic language, the language of image, gets us closer to this wordlessness, and this joy, and this sorrow, than anything else.

La capacità di parlare in pubblico è un''arte antica quanto il linguaggio. Uomini e donne si riunivano intorno al fuoco per ascoltare storie che sapessero farli viaggiare nel tempo e nello spazio. I bravi narratori riuscivano a creare immagini, suscitare speranze, ispirare sogni nella mente di chi li ascoltava. Dal piccolo accampamento iniziale all''iperconnesso mondo contemporaneo, il potere dell''oralità è cresciuto a dismisura, così come la responsabilità di chi sale su un palco e condivide le proprie idee. E la «condivisione delle idee per il bene di tutti» è la missione che il TED si è dato. Nato negli anni Ottanta come programma annuale di conferenze inerenti tecnologia, intrattenimento e design (TED è l''acronimo di Technology, Entertainment, Design), sotto la guida di Chris Anderson, che dal 2001 ne è il curatore, il TED è diventato un''organizzazione mediatica dedicata alla diffusione delle idee a livello globale. Con la messa online dei video delle sue conferenze, a partire dal 2006, le TED Conference raggiungono oggi il miliardo di visualizzazioni ogni anno. Fedele alla filosofia del TED, con questo manuale Anderson vuole condividere con il mondo l''idea che più gli sta a cuore: il modo migliore per veicolare le idee. E lo fa non solo svelando i trucchi per diventare eccellenti oratori - provare il discorso all''infinito, suscitare empatia, indossare gli abiti giusti - ma proponendo una nuova concezione del parlare in pubblico. Perché non esiste un unico «modello TED Talk» a cui ispirarsi: ogni oratore è unico, e così ogni discorso. Ma chi prende la parola deve imporsi di essere solo uno strumento: deve mettere in secondo piano l''atavica paura di una figuraccia, e lasciare che a salire sul palco sia un''idea in grado di essere d''ispirazione agli altri. Che si tratti di un ragazzino keniota che ha inventato un modo per tenere i leoni lontani dalla fattoria dei genitori, o l''istrionico Sir Ken Robinson che taccia il moderno sistema scolastico di uccidere la creatività nei bambini, oppure Monica Lewinsky che racconta il suo lungo percorso per riuscire a superare il trauma della vergogna, non è il «chi» ciò che conta, ma il «cosa». E, naturalmente, il «come». Il migliore discorso della tua vita vuole essere uno strumento per riscoprire la retorica, «l''arte di parlare in maniera efficace», e renderla accessibile al mondo contemporaneo. Perché non è detto che i discorsi pubblici debbano essere lunghi, monotoni e prevedibili. Raccogliendo le esperienze delle TED Talks, Chris Anderson dimostra come una conferenza possa essere originale, ricca di colpi di scena, breve e, soprattutto, un''impresa alla portata di tutti.

Desde que se hizo cargo de TED en 2001, Chris Anderson ha demostrado que una charla breve y cuidadosamente preparada puede ser la clave para generar empatía, suscitar emoción, intercambiar conocimiento y promover un sueño compartido. Una charla bien planificada puede electrizar a todo un público y transformar su visión de las cosas; su poder puede ser muchísimo mayor que cualquier palabra escrita. Anderson ha trabajado de cerca con todos los personajes que han dado esas charlas que tanto nos han motivado, y en estas páginas nos desvela las interioridades de los speechs de algunos de nuestros conferenciantes favoritos, desde sir Ken Robinson a Amy Cuddy, pasando por Elizabeth Gilbert, Salman Khan, Dan Gilbert o Monica Lewinsky. Charlas TED pone a tu alcance la difícil faceta de hablar bien en público y te equipa para que des lo mejor de ti. No existe ninguna fórmula predeterminada, dos charlas nunca deberían ser idénticas, pero sí existen herramientas que dotan de poder a cualquier conferenciante. Estamos, sin duda, ante el nuevo manual del siglo XXI para lograr una verdadera comunicación eficaz y es de lectura obligada para todo el que quiera causar impacto con sus ideas.

u003eu003e „Nikdo na světě nerozumí lépe veřejnému vystupování než Chris Anderson.“u003cu003c – Elizabeth Gilbertová, autorka bestselleru Jíst, meditovat, milovat a řečnice na TEDu „Myšlenky, které stojí za to šířit“ je mottem konference TED. Kniha od jejího hlavního tvůrce a kurátora vás krok za krokem naučí, jak přednést svoji vlastní strhující řeč. Ať jde o firemní prezentaci, přednášku na konferenci nebo jakýkoli jiný veřejný projev, základní rétorická pravidla jsou stále stejná. A Chris Anderson je ten nejpovolanější učitel. # O knize Slavné TED konference ukázaly celému světu, jakou sílu může mít mluvené slovo. Osmnáctiminutové strhující přednášky zvané TED Talks, přístupné zdarma na www.ted.com, dokážou miliony diváků na celém světě nadchnout pro nové myšlenky, změnit jejich zažité postoje a motivovat k činům. Řečníci TEDu jsou živým důkazem, že mluvená řeč může být silnější než psaný text – ovšem jen tehdy, je-li pečlivě promyšlená a bravurně pronesená. Právě proto se kurátor TEDu Anderson ujal nového úkolu: proměnit diváky v další rétory. Do své knihy vložil vše, co se naučil během těch čtrnácti let, kdy připravoval na vystoupení například exprezidenta USA Billa Clintona, zpěváka kapely U2 Bona či vědce Kennetha Robinsona, Susan Cainovou, Hanse Roslinga a stovky dalších osobností. Spolu s nimi se učil, jak nejlépe uchopit téma, jak pracovat s pozorností diváků, jak vystavět pointu. A vedle toho sledoval, jak se jednotliví řečníci vyvíjejí a díky čemu se zlepšují. Výsledkem je zásadní učebnice moderní rétoriky pro každého, kdo někdy vystupuje na veřejnosti. Kniha Přednášejte jako na TEDu (v orig. TED Talks) se po vydání počátkem května 2016 okamžitě stala bestsellerem podle New York Times. Byla přeložena do 25 jazyků. # V knize se dozvíte - Že schopnost pronášet charismatické proslovy není dar shůry, ale naučená dovednost - Které řečnické styly spolehlivě odradí nebo uspí vaše publikum - Proč je tak důležité, aby každá řeč měla svůj jasný leitmotiv - Že spoléhání na promítané slajdy vede do prezentační záhuby a jak připravit slajdy, které vaší řeči opravdu pomůžou - Jak vystavět strhující přednášku pomocí pěti osvědčených řečnických nástrojů: propojení (s diváky), vyprávění (příběhu), vysvětlení (myšlenky), přesvědčení (o její důležitosti) a odhalení (např. nečekané pointy) - Že čím kratší přednáška, tím více vyžaduje přípravy, a proč je dobré vyzkoušet svoji řeč před zkušebním publikem (třeba doma před vaším partnerem) - Kdy je lepší učit se řeč nazpaměť a kdy zapojit improvizaci - Jak zkušení řečníci úspěšně bojují s nervozitou (nervózní je prakticky každý) - Sedm způsobů, jak přednášku působivě zakončit – protože začátek a konec jsou kriticky důležité - Co si vzít na sebe, abyste se cítili pohodlně - Jak se pohybovat přirozeně po pódiu a jaké pomůcky si vzít s sebou (ne, smartphone s poznámkami není dobrá volba) - A proč je vlastně tak moc důležité umět veřejně mluvit... # O autorovi CHRIS ANDERSON dříve působil jako vydavatel časopisů. V roce 2001 se stal prezidentem a kurátorem neziskové organizace TED Conferences, která pořádá vlastní každoroční konference TED, TEDGlobal, TEDWoman a další, vedle nichž licencovala přes 8 000 nezávislých konferencí TEDx po celém světě včetně ČR. Pronesené přednášky jsou zdarma dostupné www.ted.com. # Více o knize Stránka knihy: https://www.melvil.cz/kniha-ted Diskutujte o knize s hashtagem #knihated

I numeri, anche nel calcio, sono molto importanti: addetti ai lavori e tifosi si applicano da sempre ad analizzare con passione i vantaggi e gli svantaggi del 4-4-2 rispetto al 4-3-3, conteggiano i gol fatti e i gol subiti, ma anche i tiri (in porta e non), i falli, i calci d''angolo e i tempi del possesso palla, certi di trarne indicazioni indispensabili per stabilire quale sia la squadra o il giocatore migliore. Ma siamo davvero sicuri che l''esito finale di una gara o di un torneo dipenda da quei numeri che finora abbiamo considerato decisivi? Il calcio è uno sport conservatore, ricco di dogmi e di frasi fatte, e geloso delle proprie credenze, tramandate da generazioni e ormai consolidatesi nel tempo. Ebbene, violare questo castello e scuoterne le fondamenta è l''arduo e coraggioso compito che si sono dati Chris Anderson, esperto di statistica, e David Sally, economista comportamentale, i quali nel presentare il risultato del loro lavoro mostrano di essere pienamente consapevoli della sua portata rivoluzionaria: «Nel calcio sta per scoppiare un temporale che laverà via le vecchie certezze e cambierà il gioco che conosciamo e amiamo». E il bello è che il libro mantiene la promessa. Grazie a un approccio rigorosamente statistico, basato sull''analisi minuziosa di migliaia e migliaia di partite dei principali campionati europei degli ultimi decenni, Anderson e Sally dimostrano «scientificamente» alcune verità sorprendenti e spiazzanti: non subire gol vale più che segnarne, i calci d''angolo non fruttano granché, la squadra che effettua più tiri in porta vince solo in poco più del 50 per cento dei casi, il peggior giocatore «pesa» più del fuoriclasse, l''allenatore incide sul rendimento complessivo solo per il 15 per cento (cioè, molto meno del caso). Insomma, se siete disposti a mettere in discussione le vostre convinzioni, a dimenticare i vostri criteri di giudizio, a reimparare a guardare le partite, e se volete scoprire i segreti del gioco più bello del mondo, allora siete pronti per fare la conoscenza di questa vera e propria «rivoluzione dei conti», destinata a cambiare la storia del calcio dei prossimi anni.

Desde que assumiu o comando do TED em 2001, Chris Anderson tem mostrado o poder que as palestras curtas, francas e cuidadosamente elaboradas do programa têm de compartilhar conhecimento, despertar empatia, gerar empolgação e promover sonhos. Feita da maneira certa, uma apresentação é capaz de eletrizar um auditório e transformar a visão de mundo da plateia — seu impacto pode ser mais poderoso que o de qualquer informação escrita. Esse livro explica como alcançar o feito de produzir uma fala marcante. Não há uma fórmula, já que nenhum discurso deve ser igual a outro. Contudo, existem ferramentas que podem garantir o desempenho de qualquer orador. Nos bastidores do TED, Chris Anderson acompanhou de perto palestras individuais que, in loco e on-line, chegam a alcançar milhões de pessoas. Discursos únicos, sobre os mais variados temas, de personagens que vão de Bill Gates a Bono Vox, Stephen Hawking a Michelle Obama, Elon Musk a Jamie Oliver, entre muitos outros. Nesse livro ele compartilha seus insights mais relevantes, que cobrem desde a formulação do conteúdo da conferência até como tirar melhor proveito do palco. TED Talks é o manual definitivo do século XXI para uma comunicação de fato efetiva, além de leitura obrigatória para todos que querem mudar o mundo com suas ideias. Fenômeno da internet, o TED Talks é conhecido no mundo inteiro por promover palestras de temas variados ministradas por grandes nomes da atualidade, o que atrairá todos os interessados em conhecer melhor seus bastidores. Como seu principal objetivo é ajudar os leitores a melhorar sua comunicação com o público, a obra chamará a atenção daqueles que pretendem promover novas ideias e empreendimentos, dão aulas ou simplesmente precisam fazer uma apresentação na faculdade ou numa reunião profissional.
