Schlagwort: AKAYO Book Club

  • „The Body“

    A really cool book because Bryson manages to make the science of our own bodies feel like a riveting adventure story rather than a dry anatomy textbook, combining rigorous research with his signature humor to create a work that educates…

  • „Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind“

    This book offers a rare „big picture“ perspective that synthesizes anthropology, biology, history and philosophy to make us question fundamental assumptions about human nature, progress, and happiness — challenging readers to see familiar concepts like money, nations and human rights…

  • „Von der Pflicht“

    Für uns ist dieses Buch ist ein wichtiger Denkanstoß, weil es den dominanten liberalen Zeitgeist hinterfragt und eine unbequeme, aber notwendige Debatte anstößt: ob eine Gesellschaft, die nur Rechte kennt und Pflichten vernachlässigt, langfristig funktionieren kann.

  • „David and Goliath“

    This book is so special to us because it fundamentally reframes how we think about adversity and competition, offering a liberating perspective that disadvantages are not destiny and that giants are often more vulnerable than they appear.

  • „Eat a Peach“

    We love this book because it breaks the glamorous facade of celebrity chef culture and provides an unflinchingly honest portrait of mental health struggles in a high-pressure creative industry, helping to destigmatize conversations about depression and anxiety.
