THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.An unorthodox guide to making things worth making, from 'the father of the iPod and iPhone' and the creator of Nest.Everyone deserves a mentor. For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:Here's how to think about choosing a job.Here's how to be a better manager.Here's how to approach design.Here's how to start a company.Here's how to run it.Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.PRAISE FOR BUILD'This is the most fun - and the most fascinating - memoir of curiosity and invention that I've ever read.'Malcolm Gladwell,Host of the Revisionist History podcast. Author of Outliers and Talking to Strangers.'Whether you're looking to build a great product, a creative team, a strong culture, or a meaningful career, Tony's guidance will get you thinking and rethinking.'Adam Grant,Author of Think Again & Host of the TED podcast WorkLife

Andreas Mogensen skrev danmarkshistorie, da han 2. september 2015 blev sendt i rummet som første dansker nogensinde. I Min rejse til rummet fortæller Andreas om sin kamp for at blive astronaut, hvordan drømmen spirede som barn, og om hvordan han som ung og voksen konstant rettede uddannelse og jobs mod ét mål: at blive astronaut. Vi hører om de krævende test, som Andreas Mogensen og fem andre bestod blandt 10.000 ansøgere hos Den Europæiske Rumorganisation. Og han fortæller om den ekstreme astronauttræning, der bl.a. foregår dybt nede i mørke grotter i Italien, på havets bund i USA, i høje luftlag og i endeløse simuleringer i rumkapsler i Stjernebyen i Rusland. Ikke mindst fortæller Andreas Mogensen detaljeret om sin mission i rummet, om den højspændte raketafsendelse fra jorden, om at suse i en rumkapsel med 28.000 km. i timen, om tilkoblingen til Den Internationale Rumstation og den nervepirrende tur tilbage til Jorden. Og så fortæller han om livet på rumstationen: om den vigtige forskning og de mange forsøg, og om de komiske og udfordrende oplevelser ved at være vægtløs: at svæve gennem modulerne, spise, børste tænder, sove – helt almindelige hverdagsting, der kan drille, når intet er ”op” eller ”ned”. Andreas Mogensen tager i denne bog læseren med på en betagende rejse og ser frem mod nye missioner. En inspirerende fortælling om at nå sine mål og have hele verden – ja universet – som sin arbejdsplads.

Call it “Zen and the Art of Farming” or a “Little Green Book,” Masanobu Fukuoka’s manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book “is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical. It is an inspiring, necessary book about agriculture because it is not just about agriculture.” Trained as a scientist, Fukuoka rejected both modern agribusiness and centuries of agricultural practice, deciding instead that the best forms of cultivation mirror nature’s own laws. Over the next three decades he perfected his so-called “do-nothing” technique: commonsense, sustainable practices that all but eliminate the use of pesticides, fertilizer, tillage, and perhaps most significantly, wasteful effort.Whether you’re a guerrilla gardener or a kitchen gardener, dedicated to slow food or simply looking to live a healthier life, you will find something here—you may even be moved to start a revolution of your own.

"[This book] is centered around the three basic principles of no-till market gardening: 1) disturb the soil as little as possible, 2) keep it covered as much as possible, and 3) keep it planted as much as possible. Farmer Jesse then guides readers in applying those principles to their own garden environment, with their own materials, to meet their own goals. Beginning with an exploration of the importance of photosynthesis to living soil, Jesse provides in-depth information on turning over beds, using compost and mulch, path management, incorporating biology, maintaining fertility, cover cropping, diversifying plantings through intercropping, and production methods for seven major crops. Throughout, the book emphasizes practical information on all the best tools and practices for growers who want to build their livelihood around maximizing the health of their soil ... Jesse's goal with [this book] is to provide a comprehensive set of options, materials, and field-tested practices to inspire growers to design a soil-nurturing no-till system in their unique garden or farm ecosystem"--
