Vi kender ham som en lille hidsig fyr med løvemanke (inklusive lyse striber), guldkæder og alt for stramme tennisshorts. Han gjorde fra start alt, hvad han kunne for at provokere etablissementet, og publikum elskede det. Andre Agassi er en af nyere tids allerstørste tennisspillere. Han har vundet otte Grand Slam titler og ligget nr. 1. på verdensranglisten. Alt det handler ”Open”, Agassis selvbiografi, selvfølgelig om: de afgørende kampe, der genfortælles i suveræn dramatisk stil, rivaliseringen på banen og i omklædningsrummene, træningen, opturene og nedturene – livet som professionel tennisspiller kort sagt. Men ”Open” handler også om en lille dreng, der fra start hader at spille tennis – og som stadig hader det. Om en psykopatisk far der tyranniserer Agassi til at droppe skolen og træne time efter time ud fra filosofien: ”Hvis du slår et par tusinde slag om dagen hele din barndom og din ungdom, bliver du verdens bedste tennisspiller”. Andre hader og frygter sin far, men faren får ret. Andre Agassi bliver nærmest mod sin egen vilje bedre og bedre. Hele vejen op ad ranglisten stritter han imod. Han drikker, fester, kommer op at slås, får hanekam og optræder i nogle mildest talt utraditionelle munderinger på banen. Det ligner et almindeligt teenageoprør, men det udspiller sig for øjnene af millioner af seere, og stikker langt dybere. ”Open” er en fortælling om kampen for at frigøre sig fra en ekstremt dominerende far og finde en måde at forvalte både sit talent og sin personlighed på, en personlighed der i mange år ikke er til at skelne fra den offentlige person, der skaber sig åndssvag i medierne. Om det i den sammenhæng er sundt for Agassi, at han konstant omgiver sig med en hær af rådgivere, der til forveksling ligner fadererstatninger, er tvivlsomt.

'Brilliant and timely' - Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand WeeksFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and one of the world's top productivity experts, a groundbreaking philosophy for creating great work at a sustainable pace. Hustle culture. Burnout. Quiet quitting. Today we're either sacrificing ourselves on the altar of success or we're rejecting the idea of ambition entirely. But it doesn't have to be all or nothing. There is a way to create meaningful work as part of a balanced life, and it's called 'slow productivity'. Coined by Cal Newport, the bestselling author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism, slow productivity is a revolutionary philosophy based on three simple principles:1. Do fewer things. 2. Work at a natural pace. 3. Obsess over quality. Examining the stories and habits of ancient and modern scientists, philosophers, artists and scholars who worked in this way, Newport reveals just how transformative the slow productivity approach can be to producing a meaningful body of work. From managing your energy according to the season, to identifying which projects to pursue and which to set aside, to building a schedule that yields maximum output with minimum stress, this timely and essential book will revolutionise how you work, helping you to accomplish great things at a more humane pace.
