I should have said I love you.

Audun Myskja

Are we looking out for the important moments in our lives? Are we following our dreams?When our time comes, can we manage to close life's book with the reassurance of knowing that we have lived the life we wanted to? Dr. Audun Myskja has sat by many deathbeds and had many difficult but fulfilling conversations with the dying. Here he writes about people who will soon have completed their life on Earth. People's inmost longings and wishes come out, with remorse about what didn't happen, joy about the bright moments, and the love and sincerity which life also offered. Myskja weaves the stories together with his own reflections based on his long experience as a doctor. This is a warm and thoughtful book which moves the reader to reflect on his own life and what it is being used for.

Log Off!

Lars Bratsberg / Thomas Moen

Right now you just have to post a few tweets while your Facebook profile is being updated with the afternoon running trip and the picture of today's dinner which you made yourself, and at the same time you see that a text message has come in which you must reply to at once. The rest of the family are sitting around the dinner table, while you are deeply immersed in your digital world and don't even hear the little one talking about his nursery outing by train. You are a competent multitasker, and you feel that you are there where the action is happening. The authors of Logg av! had themselves fallen into the multitasking pit, but they made some important changes in their busy digital world. In this book they explain why it is important to log off when you have free time, what happens when we only communicate digitally and the stress the brain is exposed to all day and night when you are logged in all the time. An important book which will help you to rediscover the balance in your life, to engage with others both socially and at work, and to sleep well at night.

Man

Dag Furuholmen / Ted Usatynski

Today's man stands at a crossroads. In the past, man has been an unchallenged patriarch in our civilisation, secure of his role and confident of his masculinity. Many people think that today's man is more unsure of himself than ever. In the media he is often portrayed as immature and self-centred. The demands and expectations from all around him have changed. It is time for man to rediscover his strength, his identity and who he wants to be. What characterises the modern man? How has the culture we live in affected man's role? The authors present new research from psychology, sociology and neurobiology, together with explanations from evolutionary biology. The various chapters follow man from childhood, though adult life and right on to old age, researching the different phases of life and the roles man passes through. They describe different routes to manhood through themes such as friendship, responsibility, sexuality, fatherhood and maturity. This book is helpful to today's man in finding his masculinity and being able to assess what is specific about being a man. The text also includes questions which will help the reader to explore the various themes as they relate to his own life. This book is written for men, by men, but it will also be useful to women who want to gain a better understanding of their father, partner or son. Join us on a journey of discovery through your masculinity!

Courageous

Svein Harald Røine

Imagine that every day of your life is represented by a Post-it sticker. From the cradle to the grave you have perhaps 30,000 Post-it stickers at your disposal. You pull a sticker off every day. It never comes back. Are you satisfied with what was written on the sticker? Or do you long for something different? Can you do anything about it? This was the question Svein Harald Røine grappled with when he suddenly became unemployed. He realised that the new situation offered a golden opportunity to find out what he wanted to change in his life, both at work and privately. Assisted by a skilled coach, he set out on a journey with many surprising challenges where he had to move out of his comfort zone. This is the process which he describes in the book, with humour, warmth, mixed terror and delight, embarrassment – and pride. He learned how to deal with fear. Svein Harald Røine wants to help people to be more courageous in their everyday lives, at work, at home, in leisure time, in both big and small matters. With courage we can defy fear, shape changes and attain new goals. ’A delightful, refreshing and insightful book … Recommended!’Mia Törnblom ’The first self-development book I haven’t managed to put down – like a charming little novel!’Cecilie Gunnæs Hermansen ’The best book I have read in a long time! Not only is it thought-provoking and full of good advice; it is also agreeably entertaining at the same time.’Lisbeth Ulsaker’This book is warmly recommended! I couldn’t lay it down … it will become a favourite!’Siri Folkvord Abrahamsen
