"The trauma that our world experienced in recent years--as result of both the pandemic and societal tensions that threaten to overwhelm us-has been unprecedented and is not going away anytime soon. It is clear that existing political and economic systems are not enough to bring the change that the world needs. In this book, Rainn Wilson explores the possibility and hope for a spiritual revolution, a 'Soul Boom' in order to address today's greatest issues--mental health, racism and sexism, climate change, and economic injustice. For Wilson, this is very serious and essential pursuit, but he brings great humor and his own unique perspective to the conversation. He feels that, culturally, we've thrown the baby out with the bathwater--and that bathwater is spirituality, Faith and the Sacred. The baby is us, and we are in need of profound healing and a unifying understanding of the world that religion provides. Sharing his experience of losing his father during the summer of 2020 as well as his personal struggles with addiction and mental health, Wilson is an empathetic narrator and thinker who readers will appreciate and trust. Wilson's approach to spirituality--the non-physical, eternal aspects of ourselves--is relatable and will apply to people of all beliefs, even the skeptics. Filled with genuine insight--not to mention enlightening Kung Fu and Star Trek references--the book offers the keys to delving into ancient wisdom and seeking out practical, transformative answers to life's biggest questions"--

Sjakkgeniene er sjakkens verdenshistorie fortalt gjennom portretter av de 16 verdensmesterne fra Wilhelm Steinitz i 1886 til Magnus Carlsen i vår tid - en bok som kan leses av både sjakkanalfabeter og vordende verdensmestere. Boken dyrker de gode historiene snarere enn de kompliserte sjakktrekkene. Sentralt i denne beretningen er spørsmålet om sjakkgeniets vesen: Hvilke personligheter og karakterer skjuler seg bak de geniale sjakktrekkene? Historien har tre deler: sjakksportens framvekst 1886-1946, sjakken under den kalde krigen fra 1946 til 1990, og den moderne sjakkæraen fra 1990 til 2018. Og som dette antyder, er sjakkens utvikling også en historie om endringer i verdenssamfunnet og stormaktene.
