Arianna Huffington

Co-founder and editor in chief of The Huffington Post Arianna Huffington shows how our cultural dismissal of sleep as time wasted compromises our health and our decision-making and undermines our work lives, our personal lives--and even our sex lives in this New York Times bestseller.We are in the midst of a sleep deprivation crisis, with profound consequences to our health, our job performance, our relationships and our happiness. What we need is nothing short of a sleep only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives.In The Sleep Revolution , Arianna explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on while we sleep and dream. She takes on the sleeping pill industry, and all the ways our addiction to technology disrupts our sleep. She also offers a range of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how we can get better and more restorative sleep, and harness its incredible power.The result is a sweeping, scientifically rigorous, and deeply personal exploration of sleep from all angles, from the history of sleep, to the role of dreams in our lives, to the consequences of sleep deprivation, and the new golden age of sleep science that reveals the vital role sleep plays in our every waking moment and every aspect of our health--from weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease to cancer and Alzheimer’s. In today's fast-paced, always-connected, perpetually-harried and sleep-deprived world, our need for a good night’s sleep is more important--and elusive--than ever. The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on our worldwide sleep crisis and provides a detailed road map to the great sleep awakening that can help transform our lives, our communities, and our world.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that middle-class Americans are an endangered species and that the American Dream of a secure, comfortable standard of living has become as outdated as an Edsel with an eight-track player. That the United States of America is in danger of becoming a third world nation. The evidence is all around Our industrial base is vanishing, taking with it the kind of jobs that have formed the backbone of our economy for more than a century; our education system is in shambles, making it harder for tomorrow’s workforce to acquire the information and training it needs to land good twenty-first century jobs; our infrastructure—our roads, our bridges, our sewage and water, our transportation and electrical systems—is crumbling; our economic system has been reduced to recurring episodes of Corporations Gone Wild; our political system is broken, in thrall to a small financial elite using the power of the checkbook to control both parties. And America’s middle class, the driver of so much of our economic success and political stability, is rapidly disappearing, forcing us to confront the fear that we are slipping as a nation – that our children and grandchildren will enjoy fewer opportunities and face a lower standard of living than we did. It’s the dark flipside of the American Dream – an American Nightmare of our own making. Arianna Huffington, who, with the must-read Huffington Post , has her finger on the pulse of America, unflinchingly tracks the gradual demise of America as an industrial, political, and economic leader. In the vein of her fiery bestseller Pigs at the Trough , Third World America points fingers, names names, and details who’s killing the American Dream. Finally, calling on the can-do attitude that is part of America’s DNA, Huffington shows precisely what we need to do to stop our freefall and keep America from turning into a third world nation. Third World America is a must-read for anyone disturbed by our country’s steady descent from 20th century superpower to backwater banana republic.

An articulate assessment of the failure of Western society based solely on the achievement of material wealth to satisfy the basic spiritual needs of man while depriving him of individual dignity and independence

For millions of people, the great soprano Maria Callas (1923-1977) remains the focus of such unparalleled fascination that there is still no higher praise for singers than "…the best since Callas." In this biography, Callas' career is brought brilliantly to life, from her transformation from a chubby, painfully shy girl into a magnificent, celebrated soprano, to her conflict with her larger-than-life image. Huffington makes this struggle, which was at the center of her life, also the center of the biography. Using a wealth of previously unpublished material and numerous first-hand interviews, Huffington documents Callas' interminable conflict with her mother, her deeply emotional relationship with her voice, the gradual unraveling of her first marriage, her passionate love affair with of Aristotle Onassis, her agony and humiliation at his leaving her, and her secret abortion.

In Thrive, Arianna Huffington, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post and one of the most influential women in the world, has written a passionate call to arms, looking to redefine what it means to be successful in today’s world. She likens our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. It may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we’re going to topple over. We need a third leg – a Third Metric for defining success – in order to live a healthy, productive, and meaningful life.In this deeply personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritising the demands of a career and two daughters. Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplaces, and our lives.

In Thrive, Arianna Huffington makes an impassioned and compelling case for the need to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world. Arianna Huffington's personal wake-up call came in the form of a broken cheekbone and a nasty gash over her eye -- the result of a fall brought on by exhaustion and lack of sleep. As the cofounder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group -- one of the fastest growing media companies in the world -- celebrated as one of the world's most influential women, and gracing the covers of magazines, she was, by any traditional measure, extraordinarily successful. Yet as she found herself going from brain MRI to CAT scan to echocardiogram, to find out if there was any underlying medical problem beyond exhaustion, she wondered is this really what success feels like? As more and more people are coming to realize, there is far more to living a truly successful life than just earning a bigger salary and capturing a corner office. Our relentless pursuit of the two traditional metrics of success -- money and power -- has led to an epidemic of burnout and stress-related illnesses, and an erosion in the quality of our relationships, family life, and, ironically, our careers. In being connected to the world 24/7, we're losing our connection to what truly matters. Our current definition of success is, as Thrive shows, literally killing us. We need a new way forward. In a commencement address Arianna gave at Smith College in the spring of 2013, she likened our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. They may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we're going to topple over. We need a third leg -- a third metric for defining success -- to truly thrive. That third metric, she writes in Thrive, includes our well-being, our ability to draw on our intuition and inner wisdom, our sense of wonder, and our capacity for compassion and giving. As Arianna points out, our eulogies celebrate our lives very differently from the way society defines success. They don't commemorate our long hours in the office, our promotions, or our sterling PowerPoint presentations as we relentlessly raced to climb up the career ladder. They are not about our resumes -- they are about cherished memories, shared adventures, small kindnesses and acts of generosity, lifelong passions, and the things that made us laugh. In this deeply personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and raising two daughters -- of juggling business deadlines and family crises, a harried dance that led to her collapse and to her "aha moment." Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplace, and our lives.

Observing that her own teenage daughters were beginning to experience some of the same fears that had once burdened her--how attractive am I? do people like me? do I dare speak up?--Arianna Huffington began to examine the ways in which fear affects all our lives. In stories drawn from her own experiences and from the lives of other women, she points toward the moments of extraordinary strength, courage, and resilience that result from confronting and overcoming fear. And she outlines the steps anyone can take to conquer fear. Her book shows us how to become bold from the inside out--from feeling comfortable in our own skin to getting what we want in love and at work to changing the world.

Who filled the trough? Who set the table at the banquet of greed? How has it been possible for corporate pigs to gorge themselves on grossly inflated pay packages and heaping helpings of stock options while the average American struggles to make do with their leftovers?Provocative political commentator Arianna Huffington yanks back the curtain on the unholy alliance of CEOs, politicians, lobbyists, and Wall Street bankers who have shown a brutal disregard for those in the office cubicles and on the factory floors. As she puts “The economic game is not supposed to be rigged like some shady ring toss on a carnival midway.” Yet it has been, allowing corporate crooks to bilk the public out of trillions of dollars, magically making our pensions and 401(k)s disappear and walking away with astronomical payouts and absurdly lavish perks-for-life.The media have put their fingers on pieces of the sordid puzzle, but Pigs at the Trough presents the whole ugly picture of what’s really going on for the first time—a blistering, wickedly witty portrait of exactly how and why the worst and the greediest are running American business and government into the ground.Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski, Adelphia’s John Rigas, and the Three Horsemen of the Enron Apocalypse—Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling, and Andrew Fastow—are not just a few bad apples. They are manifestations of a megatrend in corporate leadership—the rise of a callous and avaricious mind-set that is wildly out of whack with the core values of the average American. WorldCom, Enron, Adelphia, Tyco, AOL, Xerox, Merrill Lynch, and the other scandals are only the tip of the tip of the corruption iceberg.Making the case that our public watchdogs have become little more than obedient lapdogs, unwilling to bite the corporate hand that feeds them, Arianna Huffington turns the spotlight on the tough reforms we must demand from Washington. We need, she argues, to go way beyond the lame Corporate Responsibility Act if we are to stop the voracious corporate predators from eating away at the very foundations of our democracy.Devastatingly funny and powerfully indicting, Pigs at the Trough is a rousing call to arms and a must-read for all those who are outraged by the scandalous state of corporate America.

Through numerous interviews with Picasso's intimates, the author penetrates the barriers of the Picasso myth to reveal the struggle between his power to create and his passion to destroy

Powerful and enlightening. How to Overthrow the Government is an impassioned call to arms from one of America's sharpest and most independent commentators. In its pages Huffington breaks away from the party-line platitudes of Republicans and Democrats alike while challenging Amerians to rise up and take back their government. From the power of special interests to the ravages of the war on drugs, Huffington offers radical yet viable strategies for reclaiming our nation from the corporate and political powers that hold it hostage. For, as she argues, if We the People are to preserve and protect our more perfect union, we must stand up and fight for our country -- before it's too late.

With her trademark passion, intelligence, and devastating wit, Huffington Post editor in chief Arianna Huffington tackles the issues that are crucial to this year’s presidential election and, even more so, to the fate of the country.Huffington makes the case that America has been hijacked from within by a radical element—the “lunatic fringe” of the Right that has taken over the Republican Party. Despite holding views at odds with the majority of Americans, these zealots have given us an endless war in Iraq, a sputtering economy, a health care system on life support, a war on science and reason, and an immoral embrace of torture.But they haven’t done it on their they have been enabled by a compliant media that act as if there is no such thing as truth and are more interested in cozying up to those in power than in holding them accountable, and by feckless Democrats who have allowed themselves to be intimidated into backing down again and again.Both a withering indictment and a hopeful call to arms, Right Is Wrong is an explosive, boldly incisive work that will help set the national agenda.

A scathing critique of the American political system looks at how America's political leaders on a state and national level have cheated and deceived voters and how political corruption has disenfranchised Americans of all political beliefs. 150,000 first printing.

This impassioned piece is a call for all of us to consider a life of service—a renewed respect for responsibility, forgiveness, gratitude, and compassion—to ourselves and to one another.

Welcome to Arianna's excellent adventure. On the heels of a small donation to the Democratic National Committee--the result of a lost bet--she's invited to spend three days, with access as full as an intern's, in the infamous Lincoln Bedroom. Like Alice's exploits through the looking glass, Arianna's weekend in the White House is increasingly surreal, constantly titillating, and brutally funny. In this sharp political satire, Arianna Huffington takes off the gloves as she takes on the dishonesty and cravenness of politicians of all stripes, leading us on a mind-bending tour through the White House looking glass.

Two funny and smart women explore the myriad challenges women face today — at work, in parenting, in love, and in aging — and share lessons from their experiences.Listening Length: 1 hour and 22 minutes

E könyv a siker új definícióját adja. Forradalmi megoldást kínál mindennapi életünk és kultúránk, gondolkodásunk, munkahelyünk kialakítása és életvitelünk számára.Arianna Huffington saját életéből merít: miután éveken át túlhajszolta magát, összeomlott. Ezt követően saját maga kezdett kutatni rosszullétének kiváltó okai után, s ráébredt, hogy a megszokott értelemben vett siker ilyen kritikus fizikai állapothoz vezethet. Az emberek jó része stresszesen, magát túlvállalva, állandó belső feszültséggel él. Nem meglepő, hogy ez az őrületes tempó nagy eséllyel betegségekhez vezet. Vajon megéri-e? - teszi fel a kérdést Huffington.Ez a könyv megmutatja, mi a kivezető út a hajszolt mindennapok taposómalmából, és hogyan tehetjük életünket kiegyensúlyozottá, elégedetté és boldoggá. A pénz és hatalom hajszolása a kiégés és a stressz által okozott betegségek járványszerű terjedését váltja ki. Emellett megtépázza az emberi kapcsolatokat, a családi életet, sőt még a karriert is. Vagyis a pénzen és a hatalmon túl a siker új megközelítésére, egy harmadik mércére van szükségünk ahhoz, hogy kivirulhasson az életünk. Ez a harmadik mérce magában foglalja jó közérzetünket, jóllétünket, azt a képességünket, hogy intuitívak és bölcsek legyünk, hogy képessé váljunk a csodák megélésére, az együttérzésre és az adakozásra.A pszichológia, sport, alvástudomány és fiziológia terén folytatott legújabb tudományos kutatásokra és eredményekre támaszkodva a szerző rámutat a meditáció, a tudatos jelenlét (mindfullness), a kikapcsolódás, az elektronikai eszközök mellőzése, valamint az adakozás kiemelkedően pozitív hatásaira.

μετάφραση: Ρένα Χατχούτ Το αέναο κυνήγι των δύο παραδοσιακών παραμέτρων της επιτυχίας -χρήμα & εξουσία- έχει οδηγήσει σε μια επιδημία ασθενειών που συνδέονται με την υπερκόπωση και το στρες, στη διάβρωση της ποιότητας των σχέσεων, της οικογενειακής ζωής και, κατά έναν ειρωνικό τρόπο, της καριέρας μας. Με λίγα λόγια, το κυνήγι της επιτυχίας κυριολεκτικά μας σκοτώνει. Η συγγραφέας παρομοίασε τη διαρκή μας αναζήτηση για χρήμα και εξουσία με τα δύο πόδια ενός τρίποδου σκαμνιού: Μπορεί να μας κρατήσουν προσωρινά, όμως αργά ή γρήγορα θα οδηγηθούμε σε πτώση. Έχουμε ανάγκη από ένα τρίτο πόδι -μια τρίτη παράμετρο ορισμού της επιτυχίας- ώστε να πετύχουμε πραγματικά. Αυτή η τρίτη παράμετρος περιλαμβάνει την ευημερία μας, την επαφή με την ενσυνειδητότητα και την εσωτερική μας σοφία, την αναζήτηση και την ικανότητά μας για συμπόνοια και προσφορά. Βασιζόμενη σε πρόσφατες πρωτοποριακές έρευνες και επιστημονικά ευρήματα στα πεδία της ψυχολογίας, των σπορ, του ύπνου και της φυσιολογίας, που καταδεικνύουν την ουσιαστική επίδραση του διαλογισμού, της ενσυνειδητότητας, της χαλάρωσης και της προσφοράς, η Arianna Huffington ανοίγει τον δρόμο για μια επανάσταση στην κουλτούρα, στον τρόπο σκέψης, τον εργασιακό χώρο και, εντέλει, στις ζωές μας.

Huffington Postin perustaja Arianna Huffingtonin mukaan elämme keskellä univaje-epidemiaa. Vähillä yöunilla selviämisestä on tullut menestyksen uusi kunniamerkki, vaikka todellisuudessa suoriutuisimme tehtävistämme todistettavasti tehokkaammin hyvien yöunien avulla.Huffington pureutuu tuoreimmassa menestyskirjassaan tämän aikamme vitsauksen ymmärtämiseen. Siitä huolimatta, että tiedämme nukkumisen hyvistä vaikutuksista enemmän kuin koskaan, riittävän pitkien yöunien saaminen on yhä vaikeampaa. Samaan aikaan, kun teknologia lisää tietämystämme siitä, mitä elimistössämme tapahtuu nukkumisen aikana, se on myös yksi merkittävimpiä tekijöitä, jotka vaarantavat suhteemme riittävään lepoon.Kirja tarjoaa mittavan katsauksen uneen historian, tieteen, unien, terveysvaikutusten ja omakohtaisten kokemusten kautta. Uni vaikuttaa niin terveyteemme, ihmissuhteisiimme, työtuloksiimme kuin onnellisuuteemme. Univallankumous herättää pohtimaan unen tärkeyttä sekä tekemään pysyviä muutoksia paremman unenlaadun ja elämän hyväksi.
