For Sharing

Sultne gutter

The first time the Sultne gutter (Hungry Boys) met, they shared a beefburger. Since then, they’ve shared pretty much everything and have rapidly become a huge hit on Instagram. In For Sharing, they offer us their recipes for the food they serve up when they have guests at their table. Food tastes better when it’s shared. Here are 12 tables’ worth of food that can be shared among four or five people – or as they put it: unfussy recipes and fancy table settings. For Sharing contains stand-alone texts about the Hungry Boys’ background and food philosophy, as well as recipes for around 70 dishes. The food they make is inspired by Italian, French and Norwegian cuisine.

Maintaining the momentum in Norway’s most important industry is a major objective for the Norwegian state, and the pressure for the government to increase allocations of new exploration regions towards the ice edge in the north is greater than it has been for a long time. But the conflict surrounding the oil industry in the Barents Sea has been going on for a long time. From Stoltenberg’s red-green administration to the Solberg government that followed it, the oil industry has been allocated a steady stream of exploration blocks in the Barents Sea.

When Being Good Is Bad for You

When Being Good Is Bad for You

Lars Halse Kneppe

Being good at things isn’t something we are. It’s something we want to be or hope to become. For many people, being good at stuff is a life project. Because no matter how much we achieve or experience, we never feel good, or at least never good enough. Not as long as we can get even better and constantly seek out new areas for improvement. When being good at things becomes so important that it affects our wellbeing and the way we live – that means it’s starting to become unhealthy. The price we pay for always being able to become a slightly better version of ourselves is that we never feel good enough. Young people today are probably the generation most affected by this. No other generation has been so capable and high-achieving while still feeling so inadequate. There’s nothing wrong with being good as long as it doesn’t reach unhealthy levels. Even so, many young people today seem to be achieving everything and look totally fantastic but still feel worthless on the inside and ugly on the outside. The pressure and stress feel like running to catch a train that has already left the station. In this book Lars Halse Kneppe talks about some of the experiences and ideas he has shared with all the young people who are too good for their own good that he has met in his job as psychologist at sixth-form colleges in Oslo. He offers advice to parents about how they can calm stressed young people – and themselves as well: about how we can help young people to understand that they are good enough, and how they can resist the enormous pressure to constantly become better.

Out of the Crisis

Marte Spurkland

The past year has given us a totally new insight into and understanding of what a social crisis is. But what does a cataclysmic crisis look like to people who have experienced it close up – when everything they have falls apart and they have to rebuild their entire life from scratch? The mother who had to come to terms with her daughter’s death at the hands of terrorists and the mother who had to cope with the fact that her son was a terrorist; the wife who suddenly discovered that her husband had condemned their family to a life of poverty through online gambling; the man who lost all use of his limbs and was written off by medical science until his wife found out that he was capable of communicating, albeit slowly and using just one finger; the man who wrote off the world and locked himself into his man-cave – for good. With warm empathy and wisdom, award-winning journalist and author Marte Spurkland offers us a series of stories about collapse and apparent hopelessness, but also about the courage and unknown strength that lives in all of us.

A practical six-step guide for people who have hit the wall – or are afraid they might.
